Carl Scliurz on the Ohio Election. The Hon. Carl Scliurz is on a visit to New York, and in couvoiwtion on Friday with some friends was asked whether lie thought the vote in Ohio and the defeat there of the inflation ’movement would have such an effect in the West as to definitely put that issue out of our politics for the next year, in reply to which he said it was very questionable. Inflation is very strong in the West, and it commands a large majority of the Democratic party in that region, excepting, per haps, in the extreme Northwestern .States, including Illinois. If the in flationists had boon beaten by a very large majority in Ohio the result would probably have discouraged them so much as to induce them to give it up; but the majority being small, they may feel warranted in trying again, and go on i. ith the or ganization of legal-tender clubs, which they have already begun, and which the} - intend to establish on a large scale. Besides, the Ohio elec tion returns show that while a small number of hard-money Democrats voted against Allen, a much larger tiauatoer of ■sift-money Republicans ■voted for him. Whilst he did not ilook upon the election as decisive, it was an exceedingly important one, inasmuch as it shows the inability of j the inflationists to drive everything before them with the erv of moiel money on then 1 own chosen field. It certainly has saved the country from am immediate danger. He believes' that the inflation Democrats in the'; 1 West, sore over their defeat, may strive to revenge themselves upon the ; sound oui'ismny Democrats of the East, and make trouble within the party, and lie is apprehensive lest they may receive help from the South ern Democrats. As to the future, he holds himself independent of party ties and influences, and prefers to, leave the door open to act with that one of the two parties which, as lie persistently remarks, shall rise far thest above its old record, and its i .dangerous and merely selfish element. While ho regards the financial issue as of great importance, he thinks that some other reforms are also demand ed, and is evidently not inclined to , see the currency question made the sole one next year. He believes that party will have the best chance next year which lifts itself highest above : its selfish partisan impulses and above ! its own record, and thinks the coun try will be best served if the political parties are not both as bad, but both , as good as possible; And tiff it each will improve the other by improving itself. Bad State of Affairs in Texas.—A letter ill the New Orleans Jiepublican Mason county, Texas, says: “Hardly ,n mail is received but brings the news of the assassination of one or more citizens. The Sheriff has long since .ceased to execute legal process. For months lie has changed his sleeping place every night to escape the weap on of the asssassin, and the last mail brought news of the killing of two men. Not less than a dozen have •been killed and Hounded, and there is a lively prospect of an actual, bona | fide battle. John Worley was shot down while drawing ft man up out of a well in process of excavation. After shooting and slashing the body ad li bitum the murderer deliberately took his victim’s scalp and rode off unmo lested, and no attempt lias been made to arrest him. It is difficult to ex plain fully tho origin and progress of the vendetta. The trouble started in quarrels about the ownership of stock, and as one murder begets another, matters have gone on from bad to Worse until almost the entire popula tion is actively in prosecut ing tho bloody fend. The Governor is appealed to, and unless State troops are stationed there at once, a worse state of affairs than existed in DeWHf countv before that action was taken, may be expected. (Qmftiran Super's Fatal Error. (From the Alleghany Mail.) Mr. Soper’s wife lias been very sick for some weeks, blit although ex tremely reduced in body and mind, there is still enough of the true wo man remaining in her, which led her last Monday, in a faint whisper, to ask her husband, who had entered the sick room with a funeral cast of fea tures, what was the news. "Well,” answered Mr. Sopor, sit ting uneasily down on the extreme edge of a chair, and balancing his hat on his fingers by the brim, “there ain't nothing to speak of in par ticular. S’pose you heard of Miss Cole’s death; she was taken the same time you was.” I oUul.l think James,” said Mrs. Soper, with a feeble emphasis, “that if you couldn’t iiud-*onu>thiii’ more cheerful to say to your poor, sick wife, you'd hold your tongue.” “Cert’nly,” said Mr. Soper, meekly, “only news is sc’ace. Lemme see,” j he continued looking thoughtfully iu to the crown of his hat, as if he had a reserve of gossip theriu, “you heard ; bout Mathy Carter’s breakin’ her A SDappish nod of the head from the invalid signified to Mr. Soper that i he was on dangerous ground, but af ter a moment’s reflection be brighten ed visibly as lie said: “V ou’d orter be’n to town mectin’ aMond’y. The town's voted to have anew hearse, an’ I never was so glad of anything in all my life.” “James Edward Soper,” whispered i his wife with a painful intensity, “be you a uat’ral born fool, or be you a lookin' forrard to gettiu’ rid of me ?” As the latter view had never pre sented itself to Mr. Soper in the light of his wife’s inquiry, he looked very much subdued, and scratched his head with an air of painful abstrac tion as Mrs. Soper said again with a tearful voice: "Oh, you c’u go. If you can’t spare a few moments to set with mo, an’ jus’ giv’ rue some little interestin’ news—-I don’t want you to stay ag’in vour inclination,” she continued with the sigh of a martyr. Mr. Soper hastily expressed his willingness to remain and desire, so after a brief interval of thought he continued reflectively: “Well, lemme think. I was over to the AVidder Stacy’s las’ night to sec if I couldu’ make a trade for a Jersey heifer, an’ I tell you, Myna,” said Mr. Soper, enthusiastically, “if she ain’t a harnsum critter, I never seed one.” An ominous light appeared in Mrs. ! Soper’s sunken eves, and if her bus- j band bad been observing closely lie would have seen a restless motion of, the hands, indicative of an apparant j desire to make a personal attack up on someone or something, but ho saw nothing, and continued: ‘•.She’s jest about the right size, an’ her skin as white as snow. She’s got the pootiest legs,” continued the mi reilecting Mr. Sopor, with a descript ive motion of the hand; “an’ when you come to t.alk about shape—why M’ria,” said Mr. Soper, rising from his chair in liis warmth, “she’ll meas ure two feet across her breast ” The scream which come from the afflicted invalid at this juncture wna of such piercing shrillness that Mr. Sopor placed his finger in his ears, and Mrs. Soper's mama, who was in the next roofn, appeared on the scene in the twinkling of an eye. “Oh, you awful brute?" she ex claimed as she bathed her daughter’s brow with hair oil in mistake for cam phor, while the wretched man kept telling Mrs. Soper about a Jersey heifer that he was going to buy. •‘There, ma,” said Mrs. Soper with a gasp, “I’m better now.” “You’d better leave the room,” said the matron, with a world of signifi cant wrath in her eye, and the unfor tunate Soper departed, muttering as he slammed the outside door behind him, that he would bo mast|sf in his own house some day; but be hasn’t been yet, for Mrs. Soper has recover ed, and her mother has taken up a permanent residence with them. To this day they don’t speak to the Widow Stacy, and Mr. Soper’s reiter ated explanation has always been re ceived in dignified and instipiteous si lonee. Symptoms of Maiden Celibacy.

Bewitched. A Strange Story of Some Children. (From tho Atlanta Herald.) Central, S. C., October 18tb, 1875. Editor Herald— There are two children near here that arc afflicted in a very strange way, and no one knows how to account for it. Tho parents of these children are negroes, and live iu a cabin within half a mile of this place. The eldest boy, William (Washington, of course), is a bright looking i-oy of thirteen, and his brother Reuben, nine years of age, is sullen and morose, with low forehead and ignorant look. About six months ago these children were taken with a spell more resembling epilepsy than any thing else yor correspondent knows anything about. He imagined lie saw a dog, and as the spell came j on and increased in violence, lie would bark and move about, bis actions re | sembling a dog a good deal. Three months after William was taken in this way, Reuben became afflicted likewise. Sometimes the spell came on so suddenly that the children were j stricken down and lay as if dead for hours at a time, foam issuing freely from eyes, mouth and nose. After j fancying that they were dogs, or that they were pursued by dogs, for some j time, they got to thinking it a turkey, ! and of a sudden would say, “See that I turkey ! Look, there it goes ! It will bite you !” with like ejaculations. : Finally, the apparition changed to an old woman, which is the last, and it I now seems to haunt them as though j their evil genius is sure enough an i | old woman. When your correspon dent called, he found the two boys j tied together, the rope being bound around their bodies then tied to n tree | in the yard. This is done, the prrents say, to keep them from running oft’ i iu the woods and getting lost. The ! oldest had an at trek while I was there ;j he fell down and seemed to be dead; lay on the ground fixed and motion less with not the least signs of life for hours. He was carried into the house ] and placed near the fire, and when he j recovered he said that the old woman had caught him around the waist and said that he should neither move j nor speak, and that she would show j him hell fire. He does not seem to i be frightened at all, but when he | speaks about it does so in a careless, indifferent way, just as if it was a mat ter that could not be avoided. His mother, who seems to be more intel ligent than the majority of her race, thinks they have been bewitched, and will believe nothing else. Her story is this: One day the eldest boy was in the house near the fire place, and a stick of lightwood left one corner of and struck the boy on the head, but the blow, which looked as though it ought to have killed him, from the heavy way the chunk fell to the ground, did not hurt him. She look ed every way for someone whom she supposed bad thrown the lightwood, but she could see no one. She often hears whistling in the house, but can see no one anywhere about that could produce the noise. She says that the children can see it, and it is always one or the other of the things men tioned, a dog, turkey, or the old wo man. Nothing will satisfy them .but that the boys are bewitched. They had a doctor to attend them, and he told them the boys were acting a part, and that if they would whip them good it would put a stop to all the foolishness. The father waited nutil the spell came on and gave the oldest boy an unmerciful boating, bringing blood, to which he paid no more at tention than if a man was pounding on a log. After he got over it he did not know what had produced the sores. The father’s story was thus: “Tom Glasty told me that an old wo man living in the neighborhood, nam ed Dobson, had bewitched them for the purpose of running me out of my house, so that she could get posses sion of it. And he told me to kill this old woman for it, and that the law would sustain me in it. And he said further, that he could prove it in this way: for me to take a bottle and fill it full of water and cork it up and place it near the hearth, where it would keep warm, and the old woman would come to borrow something from mo within nine days, and this would boa sign that she had bewitched the chil dren. I did this and instead of Airs. Dobson coming to borrow something within the nine days Tom Glasty came twice within that time for that purpose, and she did not come once.” Now, I have given you as brief ac count as I can of something that has created a good deal of excitement in the neighborhood. I have not given the news to create any excitement. It may be easily accounted for, and I wish that someone would do so. Any one can see them, and any one who thinks this a hoax and wants to be convinced, all he has to do is to come and see for himself. Rexnat. Once upon a time a French Gen eral on duty at Turin started with his wife to a court ball. The lady had just thrown off her outer cloak when she was taken ill. A doctor and a few ladies attended her, and the General was soon soen wrapping a livelj boy iu his coat and hurrying homeward. The boy so born is Ad miral De la Itenciere-le-Nonry, who was recently removed from the com mand of the Mediterranean squadron for displaying too much Eonapartist zeal. Texas Courtship. He sat on one side of the room in j a big white-oak rocking chair. She ; on the other side in a little white-oak J rocking chair. A long eared doer j hound, snapping at flies, was by luh aide; a basket of sewing by hers. Both rock incessantly, that is the I young people, not the dog and bus- J ket. He sighs heavily and looks out the west window at a crape myrtle | tree; she sighs lightly and gazes out j tho east wiuow—at tho turnip patch. |At last he remarks: . “This is mighty good weather to pick cotton.” The rocking continues. “What’s your dog name?” I “CoODV.” Another sigh-broken stiiln. VfKwA Kc *gooU furV” said he, | abstractedly. “Your dog, Coony.” “Fur ketchin’ possums.” Silence of half an hour. “He looks like a deer dog.” “Who looks like a deer dog ?” “Coony.” “Ho is—bnt lie’s kinder bellowsed, an’ gettiu’ old an’ slow now. An’ he j j ain’t no’count on a cold trail.” In the quiet ten minutes that en sued slur took two stitches in her quilt. It was a gorgeous all’air, that quilt was, made by the pattern called “Rose of Sharon.” She is very par ticular about the nomenclature of her i quilts, and frequently walks fifteen miles to get anew patera with a “real j pretty name.” “Your ma raisin' many chickens?” “Forty-odd.” Then more rocking, and, somehow, , after awhile, tho big rocking-chair and tbo iiuic rooting-chair were jam- I med side by side. “How many lias your ma got ?” “How many what ?” i “Chickens.” “Nigh on to a hundred.” Bv thistime the chairs were so close togot her that rocking is impossible. “The minks eat all ours.” Then a long silence reigns. At last he observes: ‘Makin’ quilts ?” “Yes,” she replies, brightening up, “I’ve just finished a ‘Roarin’ Eagul of Brazeel,’ a ‘Sitting Sun,’ and a ‘Na siou’s Pride.’ Have you ever saw the ‘Yellow Rose of the Pantry ?” “No.” More silence; then he says: “Do you love cabbage ?” “I do that.” Presently his hand is aecideuttally placed on hers. She does not know it—at least does not seem to be aware of it. Then after a half hour spent in sighs, coughing and clearing of throats, lie suddenly says: “I’se a great a-mind to bite you.” “AVhat you great a-miud to bite me fur V” “Ease you won’t have me.” “Ease you ain’t axed me.” “AVell, now, I ax you.” “Then, now, I has you.” Then Coony dreams ho hears a sound of kissing. The next day the young man goes to Tigerville after a marriage license. AA’ednesday the following week. No cards. Eighteen Hundred Years After Death. A correspondent of Appleton’s Journal, writing of excavations of Pompeii, says: Among the most in- 1 terestiug of these objects found re cently are two skeleton’s, one of a somewhat elderly man, and the ; other of a woman. TLev were found in the Via Stabia among the ashes of the last eruption, evidently overtaken in their flight and buried among the I cinders. According to the usual j method employed to preserve the ex 1 ternal appearance of objects, liquid plaster was poured into the cavity, j which, serving as a mould a fac-simile j of the forms was obtained; and thus perfectly preserved, the statute-like! bodies were placed in glass cases in the Pompeii museum. AVliile appre ciating all the horror of snch a death, and the suffering endured, as shown by the position of the limbs, ono can not but imagine what would have been the astonishment of that man an and woman had some prophet in formed them that eighteen hundred years after their death, their forms, and even as much as their garments as were not consumediu the eruption, would be placed in a museum for in spection by a multitude of sight-seers, j some from lauds the existence of which \ they had never dreamed of. The poor woman is lying on her face, and even the form of her hair, put up be hind, is seen. One atm shields her forehead, and she is supported by the j other. Her stony limbs are well formed, and the traces of a garment are seen passing in folds* around her. i The man, although placed on his back in tlie exhibition, when found was turned on his side. One arm rests on his hip, tlio other is uplifted. The face is somewhat distorted, but massive and smoothly shaven. Even the form of the fastening of the san dals ground the ankle, and of the longfutton higher np on the leg to hold them, is clearly seen. The limbs are partly drawn up. The skeleton of a tolerably large dog, also recently found, ■is iti the Musenui of Pompeii, his whole form preserved in plaster, in the same manner as those Juot mentioned. Ha is lying on his back, writhing in suffering, biting his bind log. The rings in his collar lire plainly seen. A Willing Mail. In journalistic life one often meets with queer characters, and not the least of these stepped into our sanc tum yesterday. A dilapidated speci men, innocent of water for a fortnight past, bare as to feet, and with a short shirt that appeared to have been u stranger to tho washerwoman for weeks. He said he used to be a reporter on a Cincinnati paper, but lost bis situ ation for telling tho truth. He was out of money, hadn’t had a shave or square meal in twenty-one days, and ho wanted a free pass to Dtnmpolis. We replied that tho boats didn’t j pass anybody this fall, and the ex-re ! porter smiled blandly and said: “All right—get me a pass to Jack son.” He was told that a railroad pass was an impossibility, but that there was a plain highway which he could take, and he promptly replied: “I’ll take a pass on a mule team !” j He was made to understand that i jno teamster would carry him ou a : free pass, and ho pondered awhile and said: “Then I'll go to Montgomery.” It was just as impossible to pass up j the Alabama as the Bigbee, and when Ihe came to realize this ho said he ! would edit the Register for S3O per week. Being told that there was no vacancy, he wanted to set type, do job work, run a press or fire for the engineer. Debarred from a situation : of any kind, he wanted a “pass” to a first-class hotel for a week’s board while he was looking around. The idea was not acted on, and he offered to go to a boarding bouse. Disap pointed iu this, he wanted to borrow five dollars, and when repulsed in this j direction he fell into a fit of despond ; ency, from which he soon rallied to I exclaim; “Hang me! if this isn't a tough ; town ! I’m tight up, but T won’t be hard ou you. If you'll trade hats I’ll i call it square and pass ou to the next place.” Rebuffed again, be said he’d take it out iu a letter to the Mayor of New Orleans recommending him as a Christian and a gentleman, but he fi nally compromised for a dozen ex changes and a chew of tobacco, and went down stairs singing: The world is tuff Aud so am I Cheer up Jiui Rogers; I’ll pass And his voice was lost. Pretty soon he came back, and poking his head into the door, lie! beckoned us to come to him. We went. He whispered in our ear, “Lend me four bits; I want to invest in the mutual aid association, num ber four South Royal street, ‘ Then,” ; he remarked, loftily, “you cau j keep your dead-head tickets; I wouldn’t have them after the draw- ; iug.” We lent him the money, and he won, and paid us back last niglit. j Mobile Reg inter. The Big English Gun. The English engineers have suc ceeded iu making the most effective heavy gun iu the world, but in some respects at least it is not the largest iu existence. The bore of the AVool wich gun is only 141 inches in diam eter, and 16-inch smooth bores are iu use in many navies. The great guns of the Sublime Porte at the Darda nelles are 24-inch bores, and the gun of Moscow is of the same size. But iu every other respect England has built, no doubt, the champion gun of the age. Its weight alone is 18 tons, and the machinery connected with its use weighs forty tons more. Its out side length is twenty seven feet, and the bore itself is twenty-four feet long. The service charge consists of 240 pounds of large grained powder, each grain of which measures an inch and a half in diameter. This drives the shot, which weighs 1260 pounds, at a velocity of 1393 feet per second. The big fusee is a broach-loader, as it were, and is warranted to smash through a24 inch iron plate at the distance of five miles. The cost of each shot is $l3O, not allowing any thing for the uso of a gun that cost $40,000 in the start. The English people are very proud of their new achievment in the con struction of heavy artillery—a spe cialty in ivliiolj rimy have, rarely, if ever, been excelled. The AVooiwich gun is as novel in construction ns it is large in weight of metal and pro lect.ilo. It is built up with long trip le coils of metal and has a forged breecli-piece. The huge piece is wonderfully accurate, and English men are perhaps fully justified by the late experiments in claiming that they have the best gun in the world. A Colorado poet sends tbe Denver Tribune an “Ode Ortum.” We have room unfortunately, but for the two concluding stanzas : I would not dy in Ortum. With peaches fit for entin'. When the wavy korn is gettin’ wripe, it the candidates are triatin'; When sassidge meat isphryin’. And hickory nuts is thick, Ow, who would think of (lyin' Or even getting sirk ? •I. B, Smith, Boston’s well-known colored caterer, presented a check at tho bank the other day, and the tel ler asked him if he had anybody to lit notify him. Smith, astonished, said : “Ynnr> w mailed o n’t you know me V” The teller cttnfgssmi. he did not. “Then,” said Smith, "it is 'evi dent that you have not moved in the first circles of society.” Suvaimuh Advertisements.
