Does the Macon Telegraph for
an instant consider, in its defense of
Mr Blaine, that the exposure of his
domestic life was forced upon the
democratic party by the unwarrant
ed and slanderous assault upon the
private character of Gov. Cleve
land-' Does it not recognize that
the humiliating and mortifying po-
,;.jon in which the republican stan
dard-bearer finds himself is but a
scandalous boomerang that has re
coiled upon him with such fearful
foicef Mr. Blaine has no one but
l,j, injudicious friends to blame, for
it was they who first sowed the seed
ami must now reap the harvest.
\\ e differ with the Telegraph when
it savs that Mr. Blaine's story bears
••the impress of a true one.” It is
certainly one of the lamest narra
lives ever pouted into the ears of a
I'd.lible public, and we candidly
don't think Mr. Blaine expected the
people to swallow it. Why did
he not 'd've the name of the officiat
in'.; clergyman in that “secret” mar-
lie well knew that it was
an imp rtant matter; And again,
i- j, v,rv singular that neither of
the witnesses to this ceremony—
both related, too, by the way, to
Mr. am! Mrs. Blaine—did not think
about the important item of a li
en-- I'l.t truth is. Mr. Blaine's
,o\n wor I- convict him of every
charge ina 'e in the Indianapolis
Set.tore! While we believe that
Vi Blaine i-a pure and virtuous
I., v.at the same time the question
•lill arise, can the moral American
i,o.e t leer to preside over the
Wane Ilou-e a woman whose first
l i. wa- undoubtedly illegitimate?
M Blame should have thought ot
til - when he made Mich a fight for
t-e Preside, tial nomination, and no*
placed bis "beloved wife” in such a
delicate position, as he must have
known that an exposure would be
made. Mr. Blaine’s whining letter
to the American public does not
tally with his late indignant denial
of the charges ol the Indianapolis
Sentinel, any more than his defense
of the Mulligan letters on the floor
of congress with the true character
of those documents. Twice has the
republican standard-bearer tried to
p’utv a game of blufl and bulldozing,
and twice has he been forced to eat
his own words. His defeat is to
day assured, and no earthly power
can turn the tide of popular favor
again in his behalf. He stands cou
riered before the country of selling
his influence as a public officer and
as a betrayer of female virtue. That
cringing letter has driven the last
nail in his coffin. Cleveland will be
the next President of the United
States.

IS THE SOUTH BECOMING AN IRE

CLEVELAND’S CONQUEST..
The seven negro members of the
Vicksburg police force have step
ped down and out, resigning ina
body last Mondny. A dispatch
from that city says: “For months
past there has been great complaint
by the citizens about the inefficien
cy and general character of the col
ored members of the city police
force. There have been a number
of instances where both white and
colored men have been unmerciful
ly clubbed by colored policemen.
The killing of a white man by Po
liceman Harry Stith, still fresh in
the memory of the people, and the
clubbing of Mike Gallagher, a white

Scott, colored, brought affairs to a
focus, and the white people deter-
m neil that there must be an end to

An m f he United States treasury.
All this was taken from you in
lazes.
A well-versed and deep-thinking
gentleman, who bas made tbs situ
ation of the country a study, the
other day remarked to us, “Do you
know that the South is fast becom
ing to the North what Ireland is to
the English? Everything of value
in Ireland is owned by Englishmen,
who reside at home and collect
their taxes, through paid agents,
leaving the natives of that oppress
ed and down-trodden land nothing
but poverty and wretchedness. I
have for years watched with dread
and horror the same innovation of
Yankee capitalists in the South.
Nearly all of our railroads, our min
erals, our mines, our factories and
our public works are now owned
and controlled by aliens, and they
are now attempting to get posses
sion of even onr lands and undevel
oped resources, snd from the way
fanners are mortgaging their prop
erty at an extortionate rate of inter
est, in ten years the South will b»
as completely under the domina- 1 .
tion of Northern millionaires as is
the Emerald Isle beneath the feet of
Englishmen.”
There is a great deal of truth
the above, and it is time that the
Southern people were arousing
themselves and realizing the threat
ened danger, if they would rescue
their country and their children
from such a fate. If we keep on in
the same channel that we have been
traveling since the war, in one or
two mores decades the South will
be inhabited by a race of serfs to
Northern task-masters. But the ar
gument is naturally made that our
people are poor and in debt, and to
continue business there is nothing
left loT them to do but to sell or
mortgage their property. As
general thing this is true, but no
man ever paid a debt by going
deeper in. What our Southern far
mers need is to economize, and use
their brains more and sinews less
They depend too much on corn and
cotton—the most expensive crops
that can be grown—for support.
T iey should diversify their agricul
ture’ and plant largely of small
grain, that is equally as profitable
as the above staples and can be
grown with less than half the labor.
There is no class of men in America
who live harder than the average
Southern Inrmer, or who labors
more unceasingly. But they fail to
bring to bear the same management
as exercised by the shrewd Yankee
He makes improved machinery
and fertilizers do the work
of many hands. But the
chief drawback to agriculture in
the South is that our farmers try to
bore with too large an nugei for
their means, and must run in debt
to do so. Let them Teduce their
plantations to farms or even pat:hes,
until they have the means aheal to
extend the area cultivated, and :hen
they cm brunch out with a ceruin-
ty of success. Just so long as hey
go beyond their means will debtand
bankruptcy be their portion. Vith
our cheap lands and low-price* la
bor; our fertile country, capabk of
pioducing almost any crop gr>wn
on this continent, and controling
as we do, the great staple of the
world, there is nothing in the vay
of Southern farmers being the nost
indepen-tent class ol people on
earth. In their present deplotble
condition they have no one toblme
but themselves. Our young frm-
ers, too, are more extravagant ban
they should be. They want tolre-
gin life where their parents leftoff.
When a young man reactiesihis
majority, instead of pulling offhis
coat and going to work to gt a
start in life, the first investmemhe
makes is a fine suit of clothes atl a
horse and buggy, giving his bne
and sinew as security. So he rot
only starts out in life in debt, >ut
these luxuries give encouragemnt
to idleness and neglect of businss
When he marries and assumes ne
responsibility of a family, insteadof
having something ahead to help !m
support them, he is in debt. Tis
is the true history of the troule
with the South to-day. We sayto
our farmers, sell your land for wat
you can get in cash, and either ijut
or worlwsuch portion as is left uu,
rather than give a mortgage to thse
Northern Shylocks. No businss
on earth can stand the interest tty
charge, and when you place yor-
self in their clutches you that ay
sell yourseli and your children ito
slavery. We have a beautiful ad
fertile land, and let us reserve it 1 a
heritage to our posterity and ot
barter it to the millionaires of he
North. Better had we accept ri-
vation for a few years, than sellur
birthright for a mess of pottage.
PENNSYLVANIA TO BE CAPTURED BY A
FUSION.
Ex-Speaker Randall Sure of Carrying the State in
November—St. John to be Instrumental in Car
ing New York for Cleveland—Tenner$ee Demo-
craft Working Like Trojans.
Washington, Sept 20.—It is
stated that ex-Speaker Randall’s
recently quoted prediction that
Pennsylvania would go for Cleve
land was based upon the under
standing between the democrats
and the labor party by which a fu
sion is to be made, certain electors
retiring from the democratic ticket,
their places being supplied with
electors representing the labor par
ty. A- W. Fletcher, Mr. Randall’s
lieutensmt, who is just over, says:
“Mr. Randall knows what he is
talking about. After the October
elections there will be a fusion of
all the elements opposed to Blaine
in Pennsylvania. The democrats,'
greenbackers and laboring men will
unite, and as the combination will
have a majority, we are certain to
carry the state.”
NEW YORK IN NO DANGER.
Representative Stephens, ot New
York, had charge of the democratic
ommittee work to day. He says
' at Gov. St.John will poll an as-
iahingly large vote in NewYork.
r. Butler's vote, he says, will
amount to anything, except in
theVarge cities. In the rural dis
trict he will not get even a remind-'
at he is a candidate. New
Yoriihe says, is as sure to go for
Clevfland as is any of the southern
states/
TENNESSEE SAFE.
Representative McMillan, of
Tennessee, arrived in the city this
mornings He says that there is
not the shade of a chance for the
republicans to make good their
claim that Blaine will carry Ten
nessee. The democratic ranks in
the state, he says, are all in good
order and the republicans are do
ing nothing beyond a little work
for their candidate for Governor.

A Com of Unparalled Cruelty Near Auburn, New
York.
Auburn, N. Y., Sept. 20.—An
almost unparalleled case of cruelty
has been discovered by John Moul-
ve >'t agent of Henry Bergh, acting
for the Humane Society, in Cato,
ten miles from this city. A woman
of sixty years, a lunatic by birth,
was found in a pen eight by twelve
feet, entirely naked, groveling in
filth.. Her name is Angeline Hoyt,
and me has a third interest in a
farmlof one hundred acres, the
homtstead in which she has been
confined her entire life. The room
is in -.lie corner of a woodshed and
is without plaster. It has one door
and 1 ;mall window, which is clos
ed wi 1 a board, admitting no light.
Her h her was a penurious man,
and b gan the course of treatment
whicl lias been continued since his
death 1 iy her brother and sisters.
Her m ther died three years-ago,
and ha only attendant is a sister,
aged f ty, a confirmed opium eater.
Her prother-in-law, James B.
Knapp operates the farm, and the
only e? use given by him is that the
prest t- atment is less costly than
confine lent in an asylum. The
pen is t ipposed to he cleaned once
a week when fresh straw is thrown
in. The woman sits picking at the
straw aj the time, and when dress
ed tear-iher clothing. Before she
lost her eeth she would tear a buf
falo rob into pieces. The relatives
of the w >man are wealthy, and it is
thought he is kept in this condition
to save 1 :r property for themselves.
Previous to the admission of Moul-
vey and his companions Knapp
threw a shirt over the woman, and
gathered he filth in a corner, cover
ing it wit 1 an old carpet. The wo*
man has ogray hairs, her cheeks
are red, and she is apparently heal
thy. notw thstanding her wretched
surroundings. She has lost the use
of her liwer limbs and cannot
stand. Tie overseer of the poor
will send Ihe woman to the asylum
as soon assn order can be obtained,
and her ciktodian will be proceeded
against fot misdemeanor. The wo
man has a rother in fluent circum
stances livi g near.

Cincinnati, Sept i9.-r-Speaker
Carlisle wai met this afternoon in
his law office in Covington, and
questioned m to the part he is tak
ing in the canpaign, and his opin
ion of the outlook. He said he had
made a number of speeches in both
Ohio and Kentucky, and was ex
pecting to dj some hard campaign
ing before the election. He had re
ceived mord invitations to speak
than he couU possibly fill, and mod
estly added that he supposed the
reason of his services being in such
request was the high office with
which he haa been favored.
“Who do you think will he suc

“I don’t think, but am morally

our next Prmident.”
"Why?” :
“I am too busy to go into a long

THE WITCH’S SKIN.
Darien Oazetie.
Th^ story of the half-fabled Finn
women, with their magic seal-skins
which they could throw offon land
and resume, when they wished, to
live again in the sea, brings to mind
one of the tales with which our
head nurse used to fascinate our
childish minds while our blood froze
with horror and we dared not lift
our heads for fear of a “something”
catching us. “Putting the children
to sleep,” “Manlmy” called it, and
we were ever eager to hear all she
could tell, but sleep came only from
exhaustion, worn out with terror,
we slept, to dream! There is room
for moralizing here, hut of course
the story itself will be liked. Mam
my said:
“Dere was a man, one time, had
a wife heap bigger and stronger dan
he wus, an’ she beat him and ’bused
him so, tell he beg “sumthin’ nuth-
er” to cum git her; an’ so, ole satan
he tuk an sent fur her, his own self.
But mine you, he nuver killed her;
he jest bound her to him, an’ lent
her a skin to put on, when she
wanted to spite her own ole man,
ef she would wurk sum fur him, too.
Dat want no bodder to dat coman,
and she promus easy. Arter while
de man married agin; married" de
primest an’ best gal on de place; an’
de gal wurked’pon him tell hejined
de church. Now den he pray so
much tel de ‘Ole Boy’ neber got no
chance at him, an’ he lubbed de gal
so, dat de ‘Ole Boy’ say to de
ooman, ‘Put on de skin, I gwine to
give you a ride.’ She put it on, an
went long wid him. De man wus
gone to prayer meetin; gal home
minin’ house. De witch ride dat
poor cretur like fun tel she hear fust
chicken crow—gone! Man cum
home, de gal tell him say: ‘Fus’
wife rid me all night.’ Man laugh
at her, tell her ‘fus’ wife gone where
nobody kin git back. Youeattater
for supper, m us be sick.’ ‘Den he
physic her.’ It go on so tell at last
man take his wife wid him ter pray
er meetin’* Come home, man so
tired, fall fas’ sleep, ooman can’t
close her eye, ooman know what
cornin’. Fuss wife drap de skin in
side de door an ride, ride, ride.
Keep on a ridin night after night
tel de poor gal poor as a snake.
Massa say somthin’ mus be done,
an he set a watch. Deysee.de ole
hag drop de skin, an time she drap
it dey ketch it, wid fish hook, an
draw itout an fill it wid pepper and
salt and mustard and brier,
fur de skin and crawl in half way—
an see Massa drap de skin, she did,
an de men grab it! Meet Massa face
ter face an he ax um. Where she
bin, where she stay? Neber anser.
Massa say. ‘Tie her man,’ tel she
promus. She beg she promus.
“Gim me my skin an I never trou

irish disaffection waning.
Mr. John H. Colgan, who has
just returned from a speechmaking
tour, also called upon the Governor
to-day. In the west end of the
state he remarked that the Irish dis
affection had almost entirely disap
peared in the sections visited by
him, and as near as he could ascer
tain this slight disaffection only ex
isted in Albany, Troy and New
York city. In ” his city they were
offering $50 for a Blaine and Logan
Irish voter and not one could be
found.
REPRESENTATIVE GERMANS.
Six full grown sons of Grael Neu-
baum, a leading German of this
city, visited the executive chamber
in the afternoon. They are hand
some young men, doing business
in different parts of the country,
and at the solicitation of their fa
ther, met by agreement to call up
on the Governor. The father in
troduced his sons, and when the
young men filed out of the cham
ber he was asked what he thought
of Governor Cleveland. “Just as
all Germans think; the man
the country wants,” un
answered Mr. Nusbaum. “When he
was elected Governor I said he
would have my support for Presi
dent, if nominated.”
RETURNING TO PLAGUE THEM.
Mr. E. H. Butler, of the Buffalo
News (republican) in reply to an
inquiry, says:
“Do you notice any effect of the
so-called scandal?”
“The eflect is to-day all reaction
ary. It only needs more fuel to the
smouldering flame to convert this
reaction, now slowly setting ina
regular stampede to Cleveland. I
am not alone in the belief that this
section is to be almost unanimously
one way—either for Blaine or
Cleveland—and judging by indis
putable evidence, the unanimity
will be for the latter. On the Gov
ernor’s side are several features no
democratic candidate ever enjoyed
before. Look at the support he is
receiving in New York by hereto
fore republican papers of similar
tendencies for the reform Governor.
Then there is the German and
Scandinavian republican element
practically a unit for him. All of
these inflences must of necessity
exert an inestimable influence. To
my mind Cleveland’s election is a
foregone conclusion.”
BLAINE AND HIS METHODS.
“What do you think of Blaine
taking the stump?”
•‘He should remember the fate
of Greeley. I am convinced that
this campaign is going to be one of
striking contrast. On the side of
the people, humiliated by the spec
tacle of the presidentiol candidate
stumping in his own behalf, and on
the other hand the candidate quietly
attending to his public duties at Al
bany* This is a contrast which
will appeal directly to the people,
who are the judges. The man of
quiet duty and faithfulness to his
public trust will naturally win their
confidence and support.”
DEFENDING BLAINE.
New York Herald.
Nearly everybody in the United
States has, we suppose, heard of
the answer put in by a certain liti
gant who was sued for the value of
a tub which, having borrowed, he
had misused and destroyed. His
answer was first, that he had re
turned the tub in a sound condition;
next, that the tub was in a smashed
and dilapidated condition when he
received it, and, third, that he never
had the darned old tub apyhow.
Naturally, the opinion has been that
the parts of that answer did not
“consist;” but who could ever have
imagined that that ancient answer
should in this age of smart politi
cians have served as a model for the
defence of Blaine?
Yet it has clearly done so; for,
first, the answer of a city Blaine
organ is that there is forgery in the
air; that Fisher might, could, would,
and therefore did, write to poor, in
nocent Blaine, letters which Blaine
never saw, and put them in as part
of the correspondence—to the said
Blaine’s amazement, dismay and
ruin—though Blaine himself has
never denied any one of these mis
sives. First, therefore, comes for
gery in the order of defence; next
comes the general republican re
sponse, based upon the theory that
“they all do it,” and third comes the
broad declaration that the letters
are all right anyhow; that they do
not involve any corrupt or repre
hensible transaction, but are simple
business communications. Why, if
they are so innocent, it should be
necessary to charge that they are
forgeries, or why it should be deem
ed judicious for the republican
organs to suppress them in whole or
in part, or why they should be asso
ciated with the theory that all pub
lic men are “on the make,” and that
the correspondence only shows that
Blaine is no worse than the rest, are
things that the people have a right
to know, hut as to which the organs
do not volunteer any information.

DEATH OF A MISER,
In Whoso Shirt Twenty-Soren Thousand Donsrs
Was Found.
Memphis, Sept 22.—John Mur-
gatroype, a well-known character
in Memphis, and who,* for thirty-
four years, has led a miserly exis
tence, di(d yesterday at the city
hospital. Twenty-seven thousand
dollars in United States bonds were
found sewed up in the undershirt
which he wore. He came to Mem
phis in 1850, and for years followed
the gas-fitting business. He accu
mulated bis wealth by . depriving
himself ot all but tho bare necessa
ries of life. A smalt tin box, her
metically sealed, was found by his
bedside, which doubtless contains
his will. A sister in Philadelphia
has been telegraphed. It is known
that he also had money in savings
banks in Boston and Philadelphia.
New York, Sept 22.—The total
visible supply of cotton for the

Sept. 10, by a disclosure of the fact
that Mrs. Morisini was so worked
up over her daughter’s elopement
that she made three attempts at sui
cide. On Thursday morning ol
last week she swallowed laudanum
and Dr. Pike and Chief of Police

walked her about for hours until
she recovered. The same evening
her son Giovanni entered her room
just in time to snatch from her lips
a vial of laudanum which was half
emptied. She made a third attempt
on Saturday. This so excited him
that on Wednesday he drove from
Yonkers to New York, placed his
wife and children on the steamship
Urania and sent them to Europe.
He was dissnaded from sailing by
Tay Gould, who insisted that Moro.

certain branches of business in his
hands. When this is done Morosi

never to return to this country. Vic

only to be told that her fathei had

the banker jrom paying it to her.
Morosini claims that he placed the
money there for Victoria to use as
his child, and that by her marriage
she has lost a right to it She also

Governor Cleveland, of New York,
who had been written to informing
him that one of the little boys had
been named in his honor, reached

namesake a corpse:
Executive Mansion, )
Albany, N. Y. Sept. 22,1884.1
Mrs. C. W. Hurst:
My Dear Madam—I am inform
ed that you have thought my name
worthy to be bestowed upon one
of the three children lately added
to your family by a single event. I
am quite proud of this mark of
your esteem , and faith in and attach
ment to the democratic cause which
you thus evince, adds to my confi
dence in our success.
I am constrained to enclose a tri
fle, with which I hope you will pur
chase something for the hoy, by
means of which he will, in after
years, remember the man whose
name he bears. Yours sincerely,
Grover Cleveland
Pittsburg, Sept. 22.—A special
to the Chronicle—Telegraph from
Greensburg, Pa., says: By a run
away accident yesterday George
Sindrot, his wife and two children
were seriously injured, and a six-
months-old baby instantly killed.
The horse, which took fright at an
umbrella, was seriously injured, and
the wagon was completely demol
ished.
The last arriving mail steamer at
Liverpool from Africa brought par
ticulars of the trial and sentence of
the native Adeoshun for the mur
der of numerous women at Lagos,
on the West African coast. The
killing of at least a dozen females
was laid to the account of Adeo
shun, but at the trial, which took
place on July 9th, he was charged
with the murder of three women,
Mrs. Catharine Clegg, Mrs. Selina
Cole and her sister.
The exact number of skeletons
found in the bush was twelve, and
of these three were identified as
the females named, all of whom
were natives, and occupied respec
table positions in Lagos, two of
them being the wives of native
merchants. A large number of
witnesses were examined, the testi
mony of one female showing the
modus operandi of the prisoner.
This witness, whose- name was
Idown, had a very narrow escape
'of being one of Adeoshun’s vic
tims. Idown went to Adeoshun’s
house. He had numerous“charms”
spread on the floor, among them
being a small mud idol and several
vials filled with powder. Adeo
shun had a pistol which he fired at
the idol. He then took something
out of the idol, and together with a
shilling dropped it into a vessel con
taining water, making the shilling
into two shillings.
This was the great power his
“charms” possessed of making arti
cles double their original .value. He
urged Idown to bring him cloth
and beads for that purpose, but she
said she was not a trader. After
this he wanted her to mask her face,
and on her refusing blew some of
the powder from the vial to the
tyind, and Idown became somewhat
stupefied. She went home and re
turned to Adeoshun’s house with a
sum of £10, together with a quanti
ty of beads and cloth. Adeoshun
told her to buy two fowls, two bot
tles of rum, one yard of white Croy
don cloth, and two Kola nuts, and
meet him at Ikoyi road. Ikoyi
road is near to the place where the
skeletons were found. It was four
o’clock in the morning when the
meeting was to take place.
Idown was to tell nobody of the
matter, or the charms would not
act, and the cloth was to be tied
round her face. The appointment
was fortunately not kept, and three
days afterward the prisoner was ar
rested. The statement of Idown
corroborates for the most part the
supposed plan which the piisoner
adopted in carrying out his fiendish
object, viz: to blindfold the women,
place a fowl in each hand, get them
to kneel down, and then despatch
them with some heavy weapon.
Adeoshun denied the charge of
murder, maintained a dignified de
meanor in addressing the jury, and
told them he was bold and intrepid,
having nothing to fear. The jury,
however, brought in a verdict of
guilty in all three instances, and
asked that the prisoner be executed
in public if sentenced to be hanged.
The prisoner was sentenced to
death.
Adeoshun was a native of Porto
Navo, and years ago was sold by
the authorities to the King of Da
homey, one of whose executioners
he immediately became. The king
of that place was, and no doubt is
•till, a bloodthirsty ruler, having fre
quent and fearful human sacrifices.
Escaping to Lagos, Adeoshun set
up as a conjuror, a fetish priest,
medicine man and a worker of
charms, in which capacity his vic
tims visited him, and through which
they lost their lives.
THE CANNIBALS.
HowOaptsla DaiUsyFataFukaUs fa thoOib-
Boy’iTLrart.
Captain Dudley, of fhc Migno
nette, has freely discussed the terri
ble adventures which befell him at
sea. After describing the wreck
and the manner in which the crew
put off in a boat, he says: The sea
was raging round us, and we man
aged to make a sea anchor with the
binnacle and some boards. The
boat was leaking, but I cut off the
bottom of my trousers and drawers
and stopped up the hole. About
eleven o’clock a shark came along
side, hut we beat him off with the
oars. Our situation was a truly ter
rible one, and it seems now a mira
cle how the dingy kept afloat in
such a sea. On the fourth day we
succeeded in catching a fair sized
turtle which seemed to swim to the
boat and almost turn himself up for
us. We drank his blood out of the
chionometer box, and afterward cut
up the whole of the flesh into strips
and hung it round the. boat. So ov
erjoyed were we at this find that
we ate our second tin of turnip.
Day after day passed, and on the
eleventh day we had finished the
turtle, and nothing left except the
two fins, but we ate every portion
even the bones.
The fat of the turtle proved very
nutritious, and we got water a few
times when there were showers by
catching the rain in our oilskins,
though sometimes when we had a
little drop a sea broke into it and
spoiled it so that we had to throw
it away. We went on from the fif
teenth to the twentieth day without
any food at all or drink, and by that
time we had begun to look each
other in the face very blacic. The
boy who had drank some sea water
at night, had said ‘We shall all die,’
and I remarked, ‘We shall have to
draw lots, boys.’ This was ignored
by all, and they said, 'We had bet
ter die together,’ to which I replied,
‘So let it be, but it is hard for four
to die, when perhaps one might save
the rest/ A day or two before I
suggested we should try and make
some kind of sail, which we did
with our shirts rigged on an oar for
a mast, and a strand of the painter
for shrouds and stays.
“Things now looked as bad as they
could. On either the nineteenth or
twentieth-day the boy was lying in
the bottom of the boat where he
had been for ttfro days, gasping for
breath and nearly dead. At about
three o’clock in the morning I said
to the mate, ‘What is to be done? I
believe that boy is dying. You
have a wife and five children, and I
have a wile and three chi[dren.’ I
said that human flesh had been eat
en before. Stephens replied, “See
what daylight brings forth.’ Brooks
took his watch at six o’clock, and
we made motions to each other.
Brooks said he could not do it, and
Stephens said he could not do it. I
told Brooks to go forward, which
he did. I then too« hold of the
shrouds and had a last look round
to see if anything was in sight, but
there was nothing. I offered up a
prayer most fervently that God
above might forgive us for such an
act,, and then I knelt down by the
boy and said, ‘Now, Dick, my boy,
your time has come.’ He murmur
ed, ‘What, me, sir?’ J. put the pen •
knife in his throat and he was dead
instantly.”
THE WHITEHOUSE HORSES.
Waehington tetter.
There is a handsome brick stable
on the White House grounds, and
the President is expected to main
tain a good stud of horses.
President .Washington rode on
official occasions in a gorgeous
coach drawn by six horses. Iu his
tours about the country he used
four horses, and when he drove to
church two. His coach and ser
vants came out resplendent in a liv
ery of white with scarlet trimmings.
_ General Grant appealed on offi
cial occasions in a four horse ba
rouche, but President Arthur never
drives anything more than a two
horse rig, and his servants livery is
of a mouse color with silver buttons.
Jefferson used to go rattling across
the country behind a four horse
team, and when inaugurated he rode
on horseback to the capitol and left
his horse tied to the fence while the
ceremony was performed.
President Arthur goes to church
within a stone’s throw of the
White House, but he generally
rides even that distance. The Epis
copal church which he attends is
very aristocratic and it would be
hardly satisfied to have him walk
through the beautiful trees of Lafa
yette Square. The ceremony of
inauguration has greatly changed
since of Jefferson. Nowitisagrand

president go back to the White
House together and after a lunch
the old goes out and the.new comes

Hopts ul BbUsvci Cleveland Will be Elected and
Gives His Bessons.
Evidently instigated by partisans
of Mr. Blaine, a youthful acquaint
ance of Henry Ward Beecher has
addressed to him a letter making
the following inquiry:
Can-you advise young men to
vote for’Grover Cleveland? If' the
greatest and most eloquent of Chris
tian ministers favor the election of
a conceded libertine, pray tell me
what is to be expected from . young
men who find that such acts are
not to be visited with reprobation
from those to whom we have look
ed for years for counsel in morals
and religion. It seems to me that
no great Christian minister has ever
so palpably held the destinies of
good morals and religion in his
hands as you do at this moment.
To this young inquirer, and
through him to his instigators, Mr.
Beecher has returned the following
emphatic and convincing reply:
Peekskill, N. Y., Sept. 16,
18S4.—My Dear Sir: When you
are older and have had a larger ex
perience of public affairs and polit
ical ethics you will regard the letter
sent to me with far different eyes
than you do now.
Who told you and by what au
thority do you state that Cleveland
is a libertine—a notorious libertine?
Do you regard slander as a part of
morality? That story is slander
Not a particle of evidence has been
adduced to prove that Cleveland is
now an immoral man. That he fell
in one instance, twelve years ago,
he frankly admits. All the stories
of continued dissipation have been
searched and traced to the grog
shop and the brothel. Not a single
witness has even pretended that he
knew anything personally, and only
hearsay evidence has been bruited
by men who ought toi be ashamed to
offer their ears as sewers to dens of
infamy and to suffer their tongues
to commit adultery with notorious
lies.
As regards the sin of Cleveland
in the Halpin case, when divested
of the exaggerations, so far from be
ing an encouragement to sin, it wjli
be a vivid example and warning to
ambitious young men to avoid evil
and to maintain social purity. Cleve
land has already suffered loss, mor
tification and damage for the com
mission of a grievous sin, and to-day
it stands in his path with a rod of
chastisement, and if he fails to gain
the highest place in this government,
it will be by reason .of that very
transgression. That he will be elec
ted I both hope and believe, but the
chief danger to his ambition, to-day
springs from that sin of twelve

In Mr. Blaine’s answer to the in*
terrogatives, it is noticeable that he
gives only the names of two inter
ested relatives as having been pres
ent at thfe alleged Kentucky mar
riage, and altogether fails to give
the name of the officiating clergy

The appearance of a new and
very damaging lot of Mulligan let
ters has renewed the talk of Mr.
Blaine’s withdrawal. The Boston
Herald, an independent paper,
thinks he owes it to the party and
personal friends that nominated him
to do so. The Globe thinks the del
egates to the June convention, who
would hold over, could be assem
bled within a couple of weeks, and
the country thus quickly be relieved
of the odium of a dishonest aspirant
to its highest office. Many promi
nent-journals take this view. *
They say that Conkling, on being
asked the other day if he intended
to Jake the stump for Blaine, re
