A young man named Charles Brink murdered his mother-in- law, Mrs. Oliver W. Hall, and his wife, and "then committed suicide. Brink had been mar­ ried several months, and was of rather a quar­ relsome disposition. Last week his wife was trick, and he failed to give her that attention which she needed. Her mother induced her to return home, where she could have care and attention. Tliia seemed to have .so incensed Brink as to render him insane.' Tvro or three days after his wife had left his home he borrowed a pistol and re­ paired to his mother-in-law's house. What took place there will never be known, as all the parties are dead. The first that was known of any difficulty Wis the tWo Wdmen running into tliQ street and kcreaming, and Brink after them. They fled to a neighboring house, where he overtook them and committed the triple mur­ der, He first shot hi* mother-in-law, who ran }%akp*t distance and fell dead. He then shot his wife, killing her instantly. Then he put the revolver to his own head and blew out his brains Thousands of horses in Cincinnati axe sick with the epizootic.

We be­ lieved then, and believe now, that we have a government worth lighting for, and, if need be, dying for. How many of our comrades paid the latter price for our preserved Union ! Let their heroism and sacrifice be ever green in our memory. Let not the results of their sacrifice be, destroyed. The Union, and the free institutions for which they fell Should be held more dear for their sacrifices. We will not deny to any of those who fought against us any privileges under the government which we claim for ourselves. On the contrary, we wel­ come all such who com® forward in good faith to help build up the waste places, and to per­ petuate our institutions against all enemies, as brothers in full interest with us in a common fieiitage; but we are not prepared to apologize for the part we took in the war. It is to be hoped that like trials will never again befall our country. In their settlement no class of people can more heartily join than the soldiers who submitted to the dangers, trials, and hardships of the camp and the battle-fields. On whichever side he may have fought, no class of people are more interested in guarding against a recur­ rence of those days. Let us, then, begin by guardtng against every enemy preventing the prosperity of free Republican institutions. 1 do not bring into this assemblage politics, certainly not partisan politics, but it is a fair subject for the soldiers in their deliberation to consider what may be necessary to secure the prize for which they Rattled. In a republic like ours, where the citizen iis the sovereign, and the official the servant, where no power is ex­ ercised by the will of the people, it is important that the sovereign, the people, should foster in­ telligence, the promotion of that intelligence which is to preserve us as a free nation. If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing hue will not <be Mason and Dixon's, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other. Now is the Centen­ nial year of our national existence. I believe it a good time tp begin the work of strength­ ening the foundation of the' structure com­ menced by ouv patriotic forefathers 100 years ago at Lexington. Let us all labor to add all needful guarantees for the greater se­ curity of free thought, free speech, a free press, pure morals, unfettered religious senti­ ments, and of equal rights aud privileges to all fmen, irrespective of nationality, color or religion ; encourage free schools, and resolve that not, one dollar of our money appropriated to their support shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian scuool; resblve that neither the State nor nation, nor both comn bined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford to every child growing up in the land the opportunity of a good common-school education, unmixed with sectarian, Pagan, or Atheistical bias; leave the matter of religion to the family, the church, and the private school, supported en­ tirely by private contributions; keep the Church and the State forever separate. With these safeguards, I believe the battles which created the Army of the Tennessee will not have been fought in vain. THE BLACK HILLS. He^sMiUuni for Their Aoquliltl^ Iw • padent Demands of the Sioux Orators- Terms of the Treaty Ofiered by the Com­ mission. An Associated Press telegram from Red Cloud Agency, dated Sept. 29, says: The Commissioners met the Indians in council on Tuesday. Three hundred chiefs were present. Red Cloud, chief of the Ogallalas, on behalf of the Indians, said HE felt better than heretofore. He said he considered the Hills more valua­ ble in the precious metals thstn the en­ tire wealth of the United States. He proposed to ask a large sum for them,, the principal to be put at interest, and from the latter to derive sufficient to keep the Sioux nation. In addition, he want­ ed Grant to furnish annually each head of an Indian family six yoke of oxen, a wagon, a span Of horses, harness, a bull, cow, sow, boar, sheep, rams, chickens, and other domestic fowls, coffee, tea, sugar, side meat, rice, cracked corn, beans, dried apples, and a host of other articles. He enumerated also houses and furniture, the same as white men. He said the government was trying to make & white man out of him, and h© wanted to indulge the white man. He wanted a saw-mill for every tribe of the Sioux na­ tion; the removal of troops from posts adjacent to agencies; and the right of appointing Indian agents, employes and traders. He was emphatic in his demand for Catholic clergy for special instructors. He said God had given his people the Black Hills, so they might all subsist from their wealth. He was opposed to any roads to the Black Hills except the one made by Custer from Bismarck, WLUEB he designated as the thief's road. Ho^vanted all half-breeds and white men married to squaws treated the same as Indians. He described the limits of the Black Hills, which he wished to sell, and was emphatically opposed to disposing of the Big Horn and Powder River country. He was followed by Lone Horn, Chief of the Arapahoes, in a speech similar in tone to lied Cloud's. He insisted on the removal of agents and employes, and putting in men acceptable to the Indians. He said all the Indians had put their heads together in opinion. He wanted Catholic missionaries as instructors. He demanded that the boundary line of the reservation be extended to the Middle Platte river, in Nebraska. He wanted the survey stopped. Other chiefs followed, all in the same strain. The result of Wednesday's pro­ ceedings consisted in a recapitulation of Tuesday's exorbitant demands for ad­ ditional possessions and ammunition. One of the chiefs asked $70,000,000 for the Black Hills, part payment in cash, the remainder at interest, the proceeds irom the latter to purchase such articles as the Indians require. Each OF the speakers to-day demanded Catholic1 instructors. RED Cloud, iu his speecfr, said six generations of Indi MS HAD passed away. The only conditions on which the Sioux Nation will sell the Hills, would be a guarantee tliat Grant would provide for the Indians for mx succeeding genera­ tions. An Indian generation is 100 years. The Commissioners to-day met the Indians again, and submitted a treaty..

The Hnnttagrton Bank Robbers. A Lexington (Ky.) correspondent of the Chicago TIMES says : The excite­ ment is still high through this part oi the State over the Huntington, W. Va., bank robbeiy. The identification of one of the gang as- the notorious McDaniels, a Missouri desperado, has been fullv veri­ fied, and the conclusion accepted by the Louisville detectives, who were certain at first that the dead man was Jessie James. The report which first went abroad, that the robbery had been com­ mitted by the James and Voungers, of Missouri, having been thus partially din- proven, a great deal of interest is felt as to who the other members of the gang are. The robbery was done exactly like similar affairs which have occurred in Kentucky, Missouri and Iowa, and a little ligllt upon this transaction might settle beyond reasonable doubt the iden­ tity of these bold night-riders. There are two or three of the old Quantrell band living near Lexington, one of whom your correspondent met to-day and ob­ tained some interesting information from. My informant says the four men who did the Huntington business are old hands at that kind of work, but little known to the public, THEY have done their work quietly for years, letting the James and Youngers get the credit for their deeds, and themselves enjoying the gains. The four men who robbed the Huntington bank, this man affirms, were Thomson McDaniels, now dead, Clell Miller, Jack Kean and Calvin Carter. The man now in custody in Fentress county is one of the robbers, and when identified will be found to be either Mil­ ler, Kean or Carter. Miller, he says he thinks, is supposed to be one of the men who robbed the bank at Corydon, Iowa. When this bank robbery began, he was arrested in Missouri, taken to Corydon, and had a preliminary trial, which re­ sulted in his release in some way. These four men, Miller, McDaniels, Carter and Kean were under Jim Read, the Texas desperado, and constituted the band who robbed the EL Paso stage between Aus­ tin and San Antonio in April, 1874. Read was afterward killed BY Sheriff Morris, in Texas, but the remaining members of his party were never made known until now. Jack Kean, who is pretty likely to be in the Fentress coun­ ty prison, was at Muncie along with the McDaniels boys and Clell Miller. These four men were also at the Gad's Hill robbery. Thpy have a soord of confed­ erates living along the Texas and Mis­ souri border, and have hitherto found no difficulty in reaching cover after one of their daring exploits. This is the infor­ mation the ex-guerilla placed your cor­ respondent in possession of, aftei' a strict pledge of secrecy as to the source of the news. He is a respectable farmer here, and does not countenance the deeds of violence of his old companions, but hears at frequent intervals of their do­ ings and whereabouts. Women's Rights. The Canton (HI.) Register reports that that city has two female physicians, a female oculist--all succeeding in their profession--fifteen or twenty girls work­ ing in cigar factories, and two female com­ positors--in the Register office. In two mercantile establishments females con­ stitute nearly the entire clerical force, numbering seven in all; and in anothe the favorite salesman is a woman. These are all exclusive of the millinery and dressmaking establishments--of which TLIERB^AJCE three quite extensive ones, and four minor ones--managed by la­ dies. All the teachers in the public schools, numbering twenty-one, are fe­ males, the principal only being a male. One of the shrewdest and most success­ ful of traders and stook men never buys, sells or makes a trade without consulting his wife, and drops it if she says "no" --and it is a known fact that the party alluded to has not lost any money on a trade or on a shipment since he has been married. His wife is one of the best housekeepers and happiest mothers in the county, too. Two of the most suc­ cessful capitalists in the city are ladies, and look closely after the security before negotiations are completed, and one of them has a better knowledge of mort­ gaged farms than any lawyer in the vi­ cinity of those farms. Who can say, in view of such statements as this, WHICH oan be duplicated in every city in the country, that women, if they do not all have all the rights they want, have at least a GREAT number of privileges.-- Peoria Transcript. Statistics of Mining. In Great Britain there are 410,000 men employed in the coal mines below ground and 106,000 engaged above ground. The coal mined each year amounts to 128,- 500,000 tons. On an average 1,000 men are killed every year and 4,000 wounded. In the last half century 50,000 men have been killed in the mines and some 200,- 000 were wounded. In the United States 83,000 men are employed in mining and 50,000,000 tons of coai mined yearly. In Pennsylvania the death rate exceeds that ^F Great Britain. The death RULE in Ohio was also greater last year than that of En­ gland, but this year it will be less. The most dangerous mines in the United States are in Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, one man being killed there for everv 35,000 tons mined. One man is killed" in England for every 138,000 tons mined, one in Pennsylvania for every 88,000 tons, and one in Ohio for every 133,000 tons. Thin destruction of human life ouglii, always to be consider­ ed when making complaints about dear fuel. No doubt the prices often charged for coal are too dear, but the excess of charges is on the part of those who own the mines, and never on that of those who work them. A Jfervel la Billiards. Monsieur Adrian Isar, the champio "finger billiard player" of the woric, made his first pubMc appearance in NE York last night at Albeit Garnier's, 129 Broadway. The biffiard parlor crowded at an early hour, and by time the exercises began IT was impot sible to gain admittance. At 8 o'clock M. Izar and Joe Dio opened a game of caroms, 800 point* and in less than twenty minutes Jc the worst beaten expert that ever leane over the cloth of green. Joe played wit the cue, BUT the stranger used his fir I mainly the thumb, the forefing*] and the middle finger. Joe made 21 and slipped up on a draw shot. Iza niade a small break, and was followe by Joe with another. Then the French man gave the spectators the first spec! men of his wonderful skill. * Up thf table and down the table he sent'His ball counting at every stroke, until he hai scored about 40; when by coaxing TH" red and white into tnE uppe*&*ht ham comer he ran up a total score of 106 amid tumultuous applause. Dion's nex effort was a weak one, as was also Izar's Then Joe made a few points, AND Iza went on to close the contest HIS PLAN from the start was marvellous. He mad- all kinds of shots with the greatest ease* showing that whatever could be don* with the cue he could do without it! Again running the object balls into "C} corner and keeping them generally about A foot apart, ha continued his play, an<F without changing his position rolled UIF 165, and might easily have made teil times AS many had he not been stopped by the call of game. The 300 point; were made in five innings, grfin<» SN average of 60. ° At the close Mons. Izar gave an exLi , bition of some of his fancy shots, which should be seen tabe appreciated. ,Simpl< caroms and short draw-shots, follows, cushion kisses, and round-the-table > shots, requiring the most accurate ealcu- , lations, were executed without the. slights est apparent effort. But his unapproach able skill was best manifested in the exe­ cution of shots of a more difficult natures He would twist his ball from the lower: end of the table, take the red in the up­ per left-hand corner and draw it straight back down to the lower left-hand corner and carom on the white. HE would carom from the red in the center of the table, take, the cushion at the right, and: draw to TH§ white ball in the right hand upper corner. He would chalk figures; upon the cloth, and playing on one ball,; would make his ball follow the lines of: the figure and make the carom • upon' the other. Having one ball held at ON£ end of the table on the wood work, he tlirew his ball into the air and brought the two into contact, his own ball run­ ning the full length of the rail without even touching the cushion cloth, as could be told at the further end of the I;oom by the sound.--New York Sun. 1 Kerr and the Speakership. The SI. Louis correspondent of the J Chicago Tribune telegraphs : The Hon. Michael C. Kerr, of Indiana, has been putting in some very effective work here during the past two days in the matter of pushing his claims for the Speakership of the next House of Rep­ resentatives. He has been sojourning; recently in Colorado, and made it conven­ ient to stop at St. Louis while en route for home, and there is no doubt of his having succeeded in securing pledges from all the Missouri Congressmen to vote for HIM for Speaker. Kerr and his friends say that every Democrat from Indiana is pledged to him, and that the majority of Illinois members have also been secured. Among his Congressional: brethren of Illinois the friends of Ken* J assert that, with the votes he lias pledged j to him in Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, 1 Indiana, and other Western States, com-1 bined with the big Eastern vote which 1 he is certain to get, his election is already ] assured." -- : -- ,* Changing a Continent. ̂ ' They are hard at work in England to transform the Western half of the great • African desert of Sahara into an inland > sea. It is that portion of it called by J geographers EL Juff, extending from the j southeastern spurs of the A^TIS Moun- • tains to Timbuctoo, and covering an ; area of ,300,000 square miles - about seven times the size of the State of New York, All that ia required is the deepening of the channel of the river Belta,which will 'furnish a canal from the mouth to the desert, and let in the waters QF the At- : lantic upon the arid waste to a depth of | from 500 to 750 feet. But there is a slight objection to the plan. The mild cli­ mate of Southern Europe is caused by the hot and dry winds that come from Africa over the heated sandy plains of Sahara., If the latter were turned into a lake, the winds would be cool and moist, chang­ ing the temperature of Spain and Italy, and making all Europe possibly as frigid as Iceland and Spitsbergen. What then? Curious Cause of Death. . Hydrophobia communicated by a pasteboard dog is the latest medical nov­ elty. Two months ago a mad dog was killed in a house after having bitten nearly everything in the room. One of the things in which he buried his teeth was a little boy's toy dog made of pastel- board. Subsequently a man used this pasteboard dog to stop the blood from A cut in his hand, and so the virus went into his wound add he died.--New York Herald. Capturing Sea dulls. At Mount Desert, Me., sea gulls are caught alive in a unique way. A stick is put through the tail of a small fish, and then it is left on the seashore where it can be seen by the birds. They then seize AND attempt to swallow it head first, and suc­ ceed remarkably well until they come TO the stick, when a stop is made. They cannot swallow it further, and it is equally impossible to raise it, and so they choke, strangle and fall over, when they are captured. C THE New York papers announce that the Young Men's Christian Association of New York have leased Gilmore's Garden, and that Moody and Sankey will commence a series of revival meetings Nov. 1, which are expected to continue throughout the winter months. IT is said that Flood & O'Brien had $10,000 000 in gold looked up when their great opponent, Ralston, found his bank hopelessly embarrased.
