EX-SEKATOR BLAJKK is out in a pub­ lic letter, in which he unfolds a sc'iemo of allied Federal or State taxation, which h( claims he has long reSected upon, and the ob­ jections to which he is now fully prepared to hear. Mr. Blaine deciarts that both Protec­ tionists and Free lYaders in great numtn r<* now »fesire the abolition of the entii» internal system of Federal iaxa tion. He believes that t e t will at onc-e be an alliance of legislators ir Congress who hold entirely opposite views OK the subject of protection, but who will *ork together for free whisky, tobacco »nd other things which now afford inter nal revenue to the Government. But Mr. Maine is opposed to tree whisky. He 1 eiievos such sax shouid always* exist, to be collected by the nation and given to the States--for the States of th-m selves would be { owerless to enforce such a levy. The money so ra'sed should be paid to the States in the proportion of their population-- that is, Illinois would pay the most and New Fork would get the most, The gist oi Mr. Blaine's plan is, first, to find that the nation can spare $£C,t,00.000 of tax on whisky- then to pay this sum to the States, and there'iy lift tliat amount of tithes from lartns, homt steads and shojs. Mr. Blaine has figured the plan out and apperd* a table, two items of which show that ur.d -r his apportionment of the $8#,C0'J.0t0 11 in ii? would get Si»,2H5,oao and Netv York Ss', 893.000 Such is a brief sketch or the leading features of Mr. Blaine's scheme.

GHT has, up to this writing, been thrown on the massacre at Jackson, Mich., whieh bids fair to pass into history as one of tho great criminal mysteries of the age. It is pretty well settled thatthe robbers got no such sum of money ($50,000 or therea­ bouts) as was at first reported, as Crouch had very little cash in the house. It is probable that the only plunder they secured was the few hun­ dred dollars which Folley, the bloviating visi­ tor, exhibited in saloons and among low co npany, prevlou3 to stopping at Crouch's, and which piece of foolishness brought about his own death as well as that of his host and Bthe entire family. An examination of the private papers and accounts of the murdered millionaire farmer reveals the fact that some title deeds and other important documents are missing, and there is a lively light in prospect between the heirs of the dead man.

The Marshal of the town attempted their arrest, but was shot twice seriously, not, however, before he had himself killed one of the burglars. Nearly the entire populace capable of bearing arms pur­ sued the three .villains. After a chasa of two miles one of The Citizens was killed by one of the burglars. Two miles further on this burglar was captured.

H. The victims were James Ruddy, a carpenter, 40 years old, his little son, Lawrenoe, and a female visitor. The victims were either beheaded or muti­ lated in an unexampled manner, and the house was set on Are. Mrs. Ruddy escaped from the building in a dying condition and will not survive. Dispatches from Laconla furnish the following particu'ars of the dreadful deed: Tho Kuddy family occupied a little cottage on the outskirts of the town. It was about 4 o'clock when a woman's plerclngr screams startled the quiet neighborhood. Mr. O. L. Andrews was first to reach the house. As he ran to tho building a woman, wounded and bleeding, plunged through a window and fell upon the ground at his feet. It was Mrs. Ruddy. "I am aU cut to pieces I For God's sake, take me somewhere!" she plteously cried. Mr. Andrews carried her to the nearest house, and, returning, found smoke pouring from the windows. The firemen and police were quickly called, and other neigh­ bors came to t :e rescue. Breaking Into the dwelling they iound one of the most fright­ ful scenes on record. Two beds were blazing in adjoining rooms, the enisll of kerosene telling plainly enough the cause of the fierce flames. The flre was soon ex­ tinguished, and then it was seen that human bodies mutilated and charred occupied the beds. The bodies of Mr. Ruddy and his infant Son lay in one room, and in tho next was tho body of a woman. Mr. Ruddy lay upon his back. His head had been partially severed by a terrible blow, evidently from an ax. Upon his body were other horrible wounds. The boy, only a year old, had been beheaded by two blows of the same weapon. The body in the next room was that of Mrs. Ford, Salmon's for­ mer landlady. It was also frightfully muti­ lated. An attempt had been made to pack the remains In a trunk which stood near by. To facilitate this fiendish disposition of the body, -the legs* had been chopped off at the knees. The head and bedy were so badly burned that the original injuries could scarcely be deter­ mined. Further search revealed in the corner of the room a carpenter's broad-ax, which belonged to the murdered man. It was covered with blood and hair, and told its own story. Mis. Ruddy was at once visited. She was unconscious, and for some time it was impossible to ob­ tain any c'.ew to the horror, but by great effort the physicians succeeded in restoring the dying woman so that she was able to speak a few words at a time. In the course of a few hours a state­ ment was obtained, which apparently fastens the crime on Salmon. She said that that he came to the house with a trunk Saturday afternoon, and asked to Btop over night. The ltuddys, knowinsr him somewhat, made no objection, especially since he said that his wife was out of town. He brought a pail with him. After the evening had been passed in ordinary conversation, the trunk was carried up into the back room, Salmon faying that he would explain about it in the morning, and then they retired. Salmon at his own request occupying the backroom, and the Ruddys the front room. About midnight Salmon was heard walking about, and Mr. Buddy went to his room. As he did not re­ turn, tbe wife £Ot up and looked in. Both men were sitting on the bed talking, and there wa* an ax there. Later she heard them go into the kitchen. A little while after, hearing something fall, ehe ran to the kitchen and saw her husband just drawing his last breath. Salmon attacked her with the ax, cutting off her left hand at the first blow, and then burying the helve in her shoulder, felling her to the floor. Just then the little boy cried out, and the murderer rushed in to quiet him. Said the mother: "I heard the blow which fell on him." Mrs. Ruddy lay still on the Hoor, feigning death, while Sal­ mon poured oil which he had brought with him over her and the others. As soon as he Ignited it he fled from the house. She then made her escape. Investigation develops the fact that Mrs. Ford had been killed at her own house, pickettlMhe trunk, juid taken over to tho ituddy fiouW* and leads to the be­ lief that Salmon endeavored to get Ruddy's help in disposing of it, and when refused killed him in order to prevent his secret be­ coming known. Salmon, who Is 38 years old and a cook by trade, was, arrested in Plym­ outh duriag tbe afternoon. He told a story which, if Mrs. Ktiddy had died, might have cleared him, but he had blood-stains on his clothing, and appeared very nervous. He la safe in jail. James Ford was also arrested on suspicion of complicity in his wife's mur­ der, but popular feeling acquits him. J SAYING MANY LIVES. Efficient Work of the Life-Saving Servlo* During the Year. The annual report of General Superin tendent Kimball, of tbe Life-Saving service, shows 194 stations In operation, of which 149 are on the Atlantic, thirty-seven on tbe lakes, seven on the Pacific and one at the falls of the Ohio at Louisville, Ky. The re­ sults of all the disasters within the scope of the service for the past fiscal year are sum­ marized as lollows: Total number ol' disas­ ters, 461; total value of property in­ volved, $7,242,720; total value of property saved. $5,071,700; total value of property lost, $1,571,020; total num­ ber o" persons involved, 4,036; total number of persons caved. 4.017; total number of per sons lost, 1!'. The disasters of the past year exceeded thofo o" the previous year by seventy-one, but the amount of property lost was considerably lc83. S'nce tlie introduction of the system in 1871, 18,331 lives have been fl vved and pr uierty to the value of $23,737,052 recovered. Superintendent Kimball attrib­ utes much ot the high efficiency of the service io its utter exemption from politico! influences, and states that the statute en­ acted in 1K82, declaring it non-politioal, ha* made it an easy task for him to conduct life paving affairs with eo'.e reference to the pub lie good.

[Lonlarille CommerciaLl "I "Ernes* I am about the oldest turf­ man in America," said Henry Farris. The speaker was an old man of 74 years, with a frank, open face, and pleasant address. "I attended the first rafce that was run on a regular course in Kentucky. It took place in the fall of the year 1817, on a track near Crab Orchard, Ky., which afterward became famous as the Spring Hill course. I was a mere lad then, and attended with my father. There were several entries, but the race was clearly* between the horse named Yellow Jacket and a big bay mare. People had clustered from all parts of the State to witness the event. There was but little betting, the novelty of the contest being the attrac­ tion. From that day to this I have always made it is point to be present and witness the races. I have been on every course in America, owned some of the fastest horses of the day, and the strangest thing of all is, that I never gambled a cent on a horse race." "I remember how the jockeys used to ride in the olden days. They had no saddles, and each man who mounted a horse was required to wear home-made linen pants. A vial of honey was poured on the back of the horse, and the honey coming in contact with the raw linen, formed an adhesion suffi­ ciently strong to keep the rider in his position and enable him to ride with safety. "I trained the horse which won the stakes in the first exciting race in Ken­ tucky. I speak of the famous horse Josh Bell, who ran three heats in 1:50 over the course in Lexington. This was in 1837. I afterwards sold Josh Bell for $4,000, a fabulous price for a race horse in those days. I also trained Jim Bell, full brother to Josh Bell. He was the first horse that ever cleared a mile in 1:46 in America. In the fall of 1838 he beat the celebrated Sarah Bladen, after an exciting race at New Orleans, for a purse of $5,000. That day I sold him to D. H. Kinner for $5,000. Jim Bell subsequently be­ came the greatest 3-year-old racer of his day. "I also trained and owned Denmark. He ran 360 miles in public races, the majority of which he won. In 1838 he came in winner of a sixteen mile race over the old Oakland track at Louis­ ville. "Forty-four years ago I saw the Gray Eagle and Wagner race, undoubtedly the most exciting contest ever run in the world. Every State in the Union was represented. There were no rail­ roads or other transportation accommo­ dations in those days, but people flocked from everywhere, and the attendance on that day easily numbered 13,000. Ken­ tucky was represented by the great Gray Eagle and Virginia by Wagner. From the first it was evident that Gray Eagle or Wagner would win the race,5 They took the lead, and as they rounded into the quarter stretch Gray Eagle led the way by an open length. Both jockeys plied the whip vigorously. Wagner gradually closed jfche gap and landed at the stand half a length ahead of the great Kentucky steed. The stakes were $30,000, and, in addition to this, Campbell, the owner of Wagner, told me that he had won more than $13,000 on side bets. In those days pool selling or a regulated system of betting was unknown. "The man who wished to gamble gen­ erally proclaimed from a box. An agent always accompanied the capitalist to make a report of the bets his employer made. An instance which tended to increase the excitement of the day was the death of a man named Peok. He was a Kentuckian, and had bet every cent he possessed, amounting, I believe, to $15,000, on Gray Eagle. He stationed himself near the spot that marked the finish, and when he saw that he had lost he dropped dead on the spot. I have witnessed every event of importance in the way of racing since that memorable day, and have never seen, nor do I ex­ pect to see, a contest so exciting or full of general interest. A barrel of money changed hands on the result." Divorce. Some people in writing and talking of divorce go into spasms, and to read their routings one is inclined to con­ clude that divorce means demoraliza­ tion, dismay, disaster and death. Divorce means nothing of the sort. On the contrary^ every time a divorce is granted it means that a mistake has been rectified, a wrong righted; that a contract, which had been repeatedly violated, has been abrogated and the parties to it set free. Men and women afflicted with what is known as "soften­ ing of the brain" cry out against divorce as if every time such a decree is granted the courts give society a^ mortal stab. That sort of talk is mere bosh. The frequency of divorce means that mar­ riage contracts are mad* too hastily. Aio one wants to assail matrimony, nor question the declaration that marriage is a divine institution. It means happi­ ness, heaven on earth, joys that admit otno characterization, felicities beyond the reach of hyperbole. Poetry lias never been able to weave a wreath to deck the altar where nuptual vows are exchanged too elaborate with bud and bloom. Tho songs that have been Avritten in honor of connubial bliss have never touclred its highest notes. No one ever set the melody of the sea- shell to music to be sung and pi cured hv the prima donnas of the world. We sing of war, of peace, of triumph and truth; but God has arrauged it that some melodies of the soul shall not be cramped by scales and bars; no arrange­ ment of trills, of quavers, of semi­ quavers or demi-semiquavers could do the song of the soul justice on a bridal night; and yet poor frail human nature is so constituted that all too often men and women awake from the first dream of matrimony to find that they have made a mistake. As the sad and soli­ tary days come and go they realize that tiiey must choose between death and divorce. They discover treacheries and treasons, infidelities and infelicities --or what is the same to them, they think they have made such discoveries, and from that day henceforth to live together, whatever the law may decree, is simply legalized concubinage-- adultery mingled with loathing, for which, God be praised, there are no words in any language of sufficient power to convey even a barren idea of the abomination. Under such circum­ stances, divorce is a l>enediction. It corrects a mistake. It emancipates from l>ondage. It breaks galling fetters, not of hands only, but of hearts.--In­ dianapolis Sentinel. . Buttle ®f the Bees. < A remarkable battle of bees took flace in an English aviary not long ago. t was noticed that there was a great uproar in one of the hives. Closer in- apeotion showed the ground below to be covered by several hundred dead drones, and hosts of them were still be­ ing taken to the eatxtnoe and bandied out by the workers--generally by being seized behind the head and dragged along to the exit, where, as a kind of farewell, a sting was given them. Ex­ amination of the slain revealed the fact that they had been severely handled-- many were headless, others had lost legs or wings, or both, and aU bore evidence of rough usage. That the bees were very much a superior force was shown by the fact that only about fifty of them had fallen in the fray. The battle raged from about 7 in the morning to about 7 in the evening, and seemed to end only with the utter an­ nihilation of the droriea. to~ Neat Rebukes. ! A rebuke may sometimes be very effectively put into practical form. Thus, at a time when there was a heavy duty upon French gloves, a packet ad­ dressed to the French Ambassador having accidentally come undone, the Custom House authorities discovered that it consisted of gloves, whereupon they sent it on as an unpaid post letter; and though the double postage amounted to more than the single duty, it was paid without comment. Very neat and characteristic, in the way of practical rebukes.' was that of Tally- rand to a faithful, but too inquisitive confidential servant, whom he saw from the window of his own apartment cooly reading a letter intrusted to him to deliver. On the next day a similar commission was confided to the servant, and to the second letter was added a postscript, couched in the following terms: "You can send a verbal answer by the bearer. He is perfectly well acquainted with the whole affair, having taken the precau­ tion to read this previous to its de­ livery." Dean Stanley, in his "Bemimseenees," tells a similar and equally character­ istic story of an old Forfarshire lady. She knew the weakness of her man­ servant, and when she wished a note to be taken without delay held it " open, and read it over to him, saying, "There, noo, Andrew, ye ken a' that's in't; noo dina stop to open it, but just send it off." ' Not bad in its way either was LoM Chesterfield's practically humorous re­ buke of the craze for having far- reaching portrait galleries of ancestors. In his own gallery he placed two old heads, inscribed respectively Adam de Stanhope and Eve de Stanhope. Of the rebuke indirect, one of the finest examples is that attributed to Dr. South. Once, when preaching before Charles II., he observed that the Mon­ arch and several of his attendants had fallen asleep. • Presently one of the latter began to snore, whereupon the Bishop broke off his sermon and ex­ claimed : "Lord Lauderdale, I am sorry to disturb you repose, but let me entreat you not to snore so loud, lest you awaken His Majesty." Less direct, but more severe, was a rebuke said to have been spoken from the pulpit by a dissenting minister of modern times. While he was preaching he was an­ noyed by some young people in the congregation whispering and giggling. He paused, looked at the disturbers, and said: "I am always afraid to re­ prove those who misbehave themselves, for this reason: Some years since, when I was preaching, a young man who sat before me was constantly laughing, talking and making uncouth grimaces. I paused and administered a severe rebtfke. After the close of the service a gentleman said to me: 'Sir, you have made a grea^t mistake. That young man whom you reproved is an idiot.' Since then I have always been afraid to reprove those who mis­ behave themselves in chapel, lest I should repeat that mistake and reprove another idiot." During the rest of the service, the story concludes, therl was good order. Incisive and dry, as becomes its nationality, was the rebuke of the Scotch shepherd to Lord Cockburn, of Bonalv. That nobleman was sitting on the hillside with the shepherd, and, observing the sheep reposing in the coldest situation, he said to him: "John, if I were a sheep, I would lie on the other side of the hill." The shepherd answered: "Aye, my Lord, but if ye had been a sheep, ye would hae had mair sense." Less epigrammatically neat, but more richly deserved, was the following rebuke to an unnamed Lord, quoted in Shelden's "Tale Talk:" "A great Lord and a gentleman talking together, there came a boy by leading a calf with both his hands. Says the Lord to the gentleman: 'You shall see me make the boy let go his calf;* with that, he came toward him, thinking the bov would have put off his hat, but the boy took 110 notice of him. The Lord, see­ ing that, 'Sirrah,' says he, 'do you know me, that you use no reverenced 'Yes,' says the boy, 'if your Lordship will hold my calf, I will put off my h^*$ ' Imagination and Pain. It is a fact that strong mental emo­ tion -may cause physical pain to disap­ pear. A gentleman had five of his ribs broken by a railroad accident. Yet he disentangled himself from the crushed car and lifted out his wife, a heavy woman. Not until he had laid her on the side of the road did he feel the pain which caused him to realize that he had been injured. A little boy, whose leg was badly broken by the same aoeident. crept through a broken window. Itfot until he tried to walk, did he find that he could not stand, for his leg was "limp like a doll's." It is also true that a mental emotion may cause physical pain. The follow­ ing incident illustrates this fact: One morning a butcher was brought into a druggist's, pale from pain. While trying to hook up a heavy piece of meat above his head, he slipped, and the sharp hook penetrated his arm, so that he himself was suspended. The druggist examined him. He was almost pulseless, and his arm could not be moved without causing acute agony. While the sleeve of his jacket was being cut off, he frequently eried out. When the arm was exposod, it was found unmarked by even a scratch. The hook had only entered the sleeve of the jacket! Yet the man's sensations of pain WM as real as if the hook had ripped up the flesh of his arm. The brain had received a false but real impression, and the nerves responded to it by producing pain.-- Ymith's Companion. THE sheep ranches of California are usually desolate places.

DYSPEPSIA--ITS CAUSE A»D CUBE.-- , | It is not true, as is sometimes supposed, V; that because £oods may be tender and soft, they are easily digested. Veal is : tender far more so than beef, yet it is more difficult of digestion. All kinds, of animal foods--as well as fruits, etc. --are made tender by keeping, but that does not improve their# quality, their - digestibility, or wholesomeness. Meats * become thus tender because they are * partially decomposed, have commenced v to rot ! They become still more tender when they are particularly "toothsome"" to the crows and carrion-kites. It is right that such scavengers should eat putrid meats, for it is their nature, their mission being to devour that- which would soon become offensive to the higher orders of creation. That is a false idea that meats must remain for any considerable time before eating, since the sooner they are eaten after slaughtering, the purer they are, having the least of putrefaction about them, as such, like the bodies of human beings, commence to decompose soon after death, when the weather is warm enough. This is particularly true when any or all of the blood is allowed to- remain, as when fowls are killed by "wringing the neck." Evidence of this- hasty decomposition is seen in the fact that fresh blood will become "clotted," having an unpleasant odor, if in the hot sun, in a half hour. Such "tender" meats, fish, or fowl, therefore, cannot be wholesome when tliey are made so- by decomposition, by semi-putrifaction, and must derange the digestive apparatus. The same principles apply to decayed fruits and vegetables. This decay may be more manifest to the' sight, but not more unfavorable to- v health, not as much so, indeed, since in the former case the decay is more fermentive, in the latter more putrefac­ tive. The unripe fruits, etc., are scarcely less objectionable, their acrid juices fearfully deranging the organs of digestion. It is proper to Say that there are two classes, the one repre­ sented by green peas, grapes and the like, and the other by peas, sweet cornr etc., far less objectionable, at about the same stage of development. These are- ' quite palatable, indeed, sufficiently soft for use, at a time when, if plucked and allowed to remain on the stocks,. they would ripen sufficiently to grow,, if planted. It is true that the nutritious- casein is not as abundant in the very green, as in the more advanced, and equally true that this is the most diffi­ cult of digestion of anything contained in the pease, but this cannot prove as taxing to the stomach as the acrid and crude constituents or the very nnripe. The more developed will require extra cooking, as compared with the very green, but it cannot be true, as often stated, that such as are nearly ripe are more unwholesome than the green, or than the perfectly unripe. But, just to> the extent that there is any unwhole- someness, digestion must be impaired^ --Dr. J. H. Haneford. - , Sir. John Franklin's Last Reeori The cairn containing the written record left by the Franklin exploring party was discovered at Point Victory on the coast of King William's Island. This ili|covery was made in 1859 (four­ teen years after Franklin's death), by Lieutenant Hobson of the British yacht Fox. purchased and fitted out by Lady Franklin, and commanded out by Captain Leopold McClintock. The principal facts stated in the record are that her Majesty's ships Terror and Erebus spent the winter of 1845-6 at Beechey Island, off the southwest coast of North Devon, having ascended Wel­ lington Channel to latitude 77 deg., and returned by the west side of Cornwallis- Island. Lieutenant Gore and Charles F. De Voeux had left the ships with six men, on an exploring expedition,. May 24,1847, and on the 28th left this, written statement of their journevings.. Franklin had sailed westward to longi­ tude 98 deg., then up Wellington Chan­ nel--the course specially commended to him, but upon trying to reach the American coast he was prevented by the masses of ice sweeping' southward through McClintock Channel. The record concludes with these words, in the handwriting of Captain Fitz James r "April '28, 1848--H. M. ships Terror and Erebus were deserted on 22d April, five leagues n. n. w. of this, having- been beset Bince 12th of September, 1846. The officers and crews, consist­ ing of 105 souls, under the command of" Captain F. R. M. Crozjer, landed here in lat. 69 deg. 37 min. 42 sec. n. long. 98 deg. 41 min. w. Sir John Franklin> died on the 12th June, 1847; and the total loss by deaths in the expedition has been to this day 9 officers and 15- men." Captain Crozier added the im­ portant statement: "We shall start on> to-morrow, 26th April, 1848, for Back's Fish river." This record proved the identity of Sir. John Franklin's party with a party seen by the Esquimaux pressing southward along Fish river to reach the settlements of the Hudson Bay Company. Later many skeletons' were found on the sonth and west coasts- of King William's Island. It is certain according to the recent reports of Captain Hall and Lieutenant Schwatka, that all of the party perished from hunger and exposure.--Chicago Inter Ocean.
