Once knowing the 23d of Deuteronomy, the 119th Psalm, the 15th of I Chrinthians, the Sermon on the Mount, and most of the Apocalypse, every syllable by heart and having always & way of thinking with myself what words .meant, it was not possible for me, even in the fool- ishest time of my youth, to write en­ tirely superficial or formal English, and the affectation of trying to write like Hooker and George Herbert was the most innocent I could^ l^ve fallen Into." ' A LAD <4 17, who .was with the Egyptian Army, under Hicks Pasha, was an eye-witness of his death, and gives this account: "Hicks Pasha and the very few English officers left with him, seeing all hope of restoring order gone, spurred their horses and sprang out of the confused mass of wounded, dead, and dying. These officers fired their revolvers,' clearing a sjlace for themselves, till all their amunition was expended. Th«jjr killed many. They had got clear outside.' They'then took to their swords and fought till they fell Hicks PaBha alone remainod. He was a terror to the Arabs. They said he never struck a man with his sWord without killing him. They named him Abou Ber«k Dougal, the heavy armed (or thick or brawny). He kept them all at bay, but he was struck on the wrist with a sword and he dropped his own. He then fell." tkm in New York. This picture, upon which Mr. Carpenter haa been at work since General Garfield's death, repre­ sents the martyred President in a plain Prince Albert coat. His left arm is held behind him, and his right is slight­ ly extended toward the spectator, as though the General were in the act of speaking. The figure ia visible to the knees, and stands out from the gray background, seemingly extending a warm welcome to the beholder. This portrait was bought by H. C. Bullard, son of E. P. Bullard, for 15,000. This young man, who was graduated last year from Dartmouth College, has shown his regard for isia alma mater by giving the portrait to that institu­ tion. The presentation of the picture will take place at the Dartmouth com­ mencement this week, when it wiil grace the walls of the picture gallery in the new library building. JOHN D. WILLIAMS, who died recent­ ly in Utica, New York, caught cold on a Hudson River steamer by sleeping between damp sheets, lost his sight, became dumb and blind and was un­ able to move a muscle except his eye­ lids. One of his moat intimate friends remembered the recital in Dumas "Monte Cristo" of the invention of a little girl whose grandfather*waa a par­ alytic, affected very much like. Mr. Williams. She told him to wink once when he meant "yes," and twice when he meant "no." When he or she had other than affirmative or negative com­ munications, she would spell out the words by mentioning letters of the al­ phabet until the right one was reached, and by putting them together their wishes were understood. This system was adopted by Mr. Williams' friends, and by patience and perseverance the wants of the sufferer Were made known and relieved as far as possible. Of course the little girl's simple code was improved upon, and from 1848 to the death of the sufferer communication was kept up in this way. A MAN who knows John Boach well talks as follows: John Boach was born in Cork. I was talking about him the other day with his son Garrett, when I asked if his nativity was not Scotch. "He wis born in Ireland," said Garrett, "but you can set him down as a thorough American." His career has been one of the phenomenal ones in this country. At 11 years of age he came to America alone to hunt o*(> an uncle who lived in Texas. He found that Texas was so far from New York that he concluded to remain here.. The old iron works of James Allaire were then the largest in the country. The lad sought employment there, and was told he could be taken on as an apprentice to learn the trade by paying $100. He wotited at odd jobs and hoarded for over a year to get that sum. When lie .reported to the foreman that official called him a good- for-nothing Irish brat, and refused to set him at work. The lad marohed over to the office. He went tip to the proprietor's desk. Pulling ont his memorandum he said: "Mr. Allaire, I've paid you my $100. I've got your receipt But the foreman says I'm good for nothing and won't take me on. I am good for something, and I want my chance." Allaire was pleased with the Irish boy's pluck and he got fair play. He was offered the foreman's place years later and refused it. After­ ward he was made foreman. The works passed into tho hands of Theodosius Secor, and John Boach set up a 1 ttle shop in Georck street. His first job was a lot of grate bars for a Williams­ burg brewery, which be made and de­ livered himself, carrying over two or three at a time. With his own hands he made the pillars that still form the front of Bellevue Hospital. When James Allaire failed he formed a stock company and contined the business with Allaire at its head. His largest Wcfrk was the Harlem Bridge. TH* epidemics of 1830, 1845 and 1866 i^iused the people everywhere to adopt preventiVe ' measures which were thought to have great efficacy. Care in diet was considered most important, of course, and fruits were almost en­ tirely discarded. Watermelons and encumbers were looked upon as pois­ onous, and even ripe peaches and other harmless fruits were permitted to rot. So heavy were the losses by fruit-grow- ers and dealers in the East in 1830 that for a few years after the plague disap- % jpeared no one would raise melons and other objectionable vegetables and fruits for fear that they could not be disposed of. Boiled rice, mush and milk, and bread and milk, became the * principal articles of diet ia many fam­ ilies, and meats and other heavy foods were partaken* of refy sparingly. Cam­ phor came into universal use as a dis­ infectant, and nearly everybody wore some of it on the person. flannels were worn all summer, and plasters of various kinds were used on the chest and back. i A PORTRAIT of General Garfield, painted by Frank B. Carpenter, the punter of "The Etoancipatia* Procla­ mation," in the Capitol, is on exhibi- •C;r k * . .JRV.' c k - Sliakspeare's Country. Shakspeare's country, it is indeed, replete with the magic imagery of the scenes of the pott's plays, from the ex­ treme North, where twenty miles henoe the three tall spires of Coventry rise faintly, but clearly, against the distant horizon, reminding one of the exquis­ itely humorous picture of Jack Falstaif and his ragged troop; to where, far away south, a stately abbey tower looks down on the peaceful meeting of the waters of Avon and Severn, by the ill- fated field of Tewkesbury. Yonder dark patch is the remnant of the For­ est of Arden, forever impressed with the delights of "As You Like It," where, under the greenwood tree, Ros­ alind and Orlando, Touchstone and Audrey, listened to the sweet bird's note. Behind the hill lies Wincot, where Master Christopher Sly drank too much of Dame Hackett's home­ brewed ale; and below me, scattered about the pleasant land, hidden among lofty elms, sleeps many a rustic hamlet, bringing to one's mind Perdita and the sheep-folds, with all the simplicity and beauty of a country life in "A Winter's Tale." Here, too, center all the familiar spots of the poet's life. Through the rich vale at my feet Avon creeps dreamily down among its pollard willows; the eye, following its oourse, rests on a gray spire, rising from a circlet of trees --the Holy Trinity Church of Strat- ford-on-Avon--where sleeps, lulled to rest by the ripple of the river, all that is mortal of the great bard, "whose like we shall not look upon again." Clus­ tering around this solitary spire are the haunts of his youthful days; the quaint house in Henlev street, where he first saw light; the thatched cottage at Shottery, where Anne Hathaway lived and was wooed, whose garden is filled to-day, as it was 300 years ago, with gillies, violets, and all sweet spring flowers.--Exchange. Nigh Unto Death. ^ * And yet there are some people whom the graveyard impresses. I heard a tot telling a story to an old companion that seemed, on the face of things, to be im­ probable. "Are you sure that is the truth?" asked the companion. "Yes, indeed," with an injured air. "You don't think I'd tell a lie in a cemetery, do yon?" -- Pittsburgh Chronicle. GEORGE WASHINGTON wrote bad poe­ try when heyvas a very good little boy. The Popular MlnUke Made In Ri^snl to the Common I'nrpoM of them. A committee on disinfection and dis­ infectants, appointed by ihe American Public Health Association, in one of its reports says that the real object of dis­ infection is to prevent the extension of infectious diseases by destroying the specific infectious material which gives rise to them. This is accomplished by the use of disinfectants. There can be no partial disinfection of such material; either its infecting power is destroyed or it is not. In the latter cue there is a failure to disinfect. Nor can there be any disinfection in the absence of in­ fectious material. The specific infect- ing po wer of several kinds of infectious material, the report says, is due to the presence of living micro-organisms, known in a general way as "disease germs," and practical sanitation s now based on the belief that the infecting agents in all kinds of infectious ma­ terials are of this nature; therefore, disinfection consists essentially in the destruction of disease germs. But popularly the term disinfection is used in a mnch broader tense. Any chemi­ cal agent that destroys or masks bad odors or arrests putrefactive decompo­ sition is spoken of as a disinfectant. It is common to speak of disinfecting a cesspool or a bad-smelling stable. "The popular use of this term," says the report, "has led to much misappre­ hension, and the agents which have been found to destroy bad odors- deodorizers--or to arrest putrefactive decomposition--antiseptics--have been confidently recommended and exten­ sively used for the destruction of disease germs in the excreta of patients with cholera, typhoid fever, etc. The injurious consequences which are likely to result from such misapprehension and misuse of the word disinfectant will be appreciated when it is known that recent researches have demon­ strated that many of the agents which have been found useful as deodorizers, or as antiseptics, are entirely without value for the destruction of disease germs." This is true as regards the sulphate of iron or copperas, a salt extensively used with the idea that it is a disinfec­ tant ; while, as a matter of fact, sul­ phate of iron in saturated solution does not destroy the vitality of disease germs or the infecting power of mate­ rial containing them. Nevertheless, it is a cheap and very valuable antiseptic. Antiseptic agents exercise a restrain­ ing influence on the development of disease germs, and the report recom­ mends their use during epidemics, when masses of organic material in the vicinity of human habitations cannot be completely destroyed or removed or disinfected. It is asserted that a large number of the proprietary "disinfect­ ants," so called, sold in the market aro simply deodorizers or antiseptics of greater or less value, and are entirely untrustworthy for disinfecting pur­ poses. "Antiseptics," the report says, "are to be used at all times when it is impracticable to remove filth from the vicinity of human habitations, but they are a poor substitute for clean lines Attention is called to the importance of destroying at seaport quarantine stations infectious material that has its origin outside of the boundaries of the United States, and the destruction of material given off from persons suffer­ ing from infectious disease, whether of imported or indigenous origin. The importance of the proper use of dis­ infectants in the sick-room is also re­ ferred to. In a few pages of "general directions" the report gives information about the use of standard solutions of chloride of lime, corrosive sublimate# and other familiar disinfectants, both on persons and clothing. In the absence of a suitable disinfecting chamber, it will be necessary to burn infected clothing and bedding, the value of which would be destroyed by immersion in boiling water or in one of the disinfecting so­ lutions recommended. In the sick­ room no disinfectant can take the place of free ventilation and cleanliness. I ain't haiUceriit'jKtcr it. I never had a graepin' disposition, nohow."

John Maupin Taken from the Jail at Mound City, HL, * « and Hanged, i Officers and Strong DOOM Fall to stay the Surging and Angry Crowd. Seeing Yias Believing, The first railroad tra'n that ever poked its civilizing nose into Faulkner County, Arkansas, caused a general suspension of farming operations. The work of laying the track had been re­ garded with great interest, not un­ mixed with considerable incredulity concerning the final result. One old man, who seemed to be a leader among his neighbors, swore that a wagon could not run along on "them iron things;" such a thing was impossible. "No usen talkin' to me," he said, "I've been about as fur from home as the next man, an' I ain't never seed nothin' o' that ar sort yit. This here thing o' squirtin' hot water and smoke into a cart an' makin' it hull out across the country might do for the preachers to give out, an' might do for the brothers an' sisters to sing about, but when you pitch it dow to the nachul old business itself, w'y she ain't thar, that's all." "Uncle Lige," said a yonng fellow, who had heard the old man's declara­ tion, "they say that the thing ken out­ run a houn' dog." "Yas, thev say a good many things. Tommy. T?hey uster say that Bill An­ derson could whip me, but they got might'ly left on it. Don't let these Yankees pull the wool over your eyes, Tommy. When they prove to you that they can run a wheelbarrow with a mouthful o' water an' a sneeze, then believe that they ken shove a wagon by steam, an' not before." "Uncle Lige, they not only claim to run a wagon by steam, but say that they can send letters on them wires they are puttin' up. What do yon think o' that ?" "All a lie, Tommy. I ken tote a let­ ter in my hip pocket faster than they can shove it in all them wires." When the first train came, old Uncle Lige left his plow and ran down to the railroad. "Hold on thar!" he exclaimed, "stop your dinged constrapshun a minit." The superintendent of the road, having heard of the old man's peculiarities, instructed the engineer to humor bis whims. "Look a here, gentlemen, you say that little squirt o' steam an' damp air moves that thing'{" "Yes." "Wall, 111 be dinged ef that don't cnt a notch a little higher up than I ken reach. Blast me, if I don't git one an' set it to plowin'in my field." "Won't you get on and take a ride with me ?" asked the engineer. "Wall, no; not ef it's jes' the same to all han's consarned. I don't mind tamperin' with a mad steer, an' I have been know'd to hitch up with a panter, an' cut the cold frosty air full o' scol­ lops, but I be dinged ef I am ready to slide down hill on a tombstone."

I ain't afeered to die, podner, bat Sumner's Last Day in the Senate, A friend of humanity, his policy was peace, and the settlement of disputes between nations by arbitration instead of by war was on^'of his fondest dreams Possessed of such benignant senti­ ments, on December 2. 1872, he intro­ duced a bill which he requested to have "read in lull for information." I shall give it here: for to carry it to the desk was one of my first acts as a page. It was as follows: "A Dill to regulate the Army Register and the It g-imental Colo 18 ot the United Sutes. "WHEIIEAS, The nat onal amity and tood- wl.l nil >IIK te:low-eitizoo8 cun b - Assured only thiouvth obliv oil of pa?t d;tteren<MT'9, and it U contrary 10 tbe usage of civilized nations to perpetuate the memory of civil war: THERE­ FORE, '•/fe it enacted by the Se.nnt" and Honw of Rcprc*rnta;ivc« of the I'm ted Stat s of Ameri­ ca in Co'tgress usMmbled, That t e names of battles wiui leUow-citiEena shall not be con­ tinued in tho AiiW Register or placed on the mental co orsjyt tue Uh ted Stau 8." The bill was \ordered to be printed, and that was^the end of ijis pilgrimage in CongressL It never became a law. But it was discussrd elsewhere! The Legislature of Massachusetts heard of it with deepest indignation. The act of Senator Sumner was stigmatized as "an attempt 1o degrade the loyal sol­ diery of the Union and their grand achievements;" and a resolution of cen­ sure was introduced and passed by the Legislature of the State which had made him its Senator. The resolution of cen&nre was an in­ justice, which would have provoked some men to wrath. But with Mr. Sumner it occasioned not anger, but grief. He had served his State for more than twenty years; and it had stood proudly by him in all his efforts. That it should now, after his long and faithful career, misinterpreted his mo­ tives, and seem to brand him with re­ proach, was perhaps the saddest blow he had ever sustained. His manner betrayed how it bore upon Ir's mind. Yet when December again appeared, the Senator was again found at his seat in the opening day, this time to introduce his famous Civil Bights Bill --the first bill of the session. But as the days passed by, his face was less frequently seen in the Senate. Decem­ ber, January, February passed--his visits were few and brief. On the 10th of March, however, he was in attendance. I remember it well. I had not seen him for ouite a while, and he called me to his desk. I thought he looked more cheerful than usual, and I asked after his health. As he whittled a pen. he smilingly chatted with me, and stated that he had come to the Senate to hear pleasant news. He had scarcely made the remark,when Senator Boutwell, his colleague, sent up to the clerk's desk to be read a resolution of the Massachusetts Legis­ lature. As the clerk proceeded, all eyes turned rpon Senator Sumner, who was eagerly listening. It was a resolution rescinding the vote of«.insure! With­ in a few moments after, Aft ..reading the Senator left the as I parted from him ^«.J®^^S^euiook hands kindly, and said: Good-bye!" Those were his last words to me. The next day he was dead Alton, in St. Nicholas. Fortune and the Betfirflr. ' The following fable is by Kriiof, the Russian J-'sop. It is interesting from the fact that it is illustrated in bass- relief on tho kriiof monument: A wretched beggar carrying a ragged old wallet was creeping along from house to house, aud, as he grumbled at his lot, he kept wondering that folks who live in rich apartments, and were up to their throats in money and in the sweets of indulgence, should go so far as pften to lose all they have, while un­ reasonably craving for and laying their hands on new riches. "Here, for instance," he says, "the former master of this house succeeded in trading prosperously and made him­ self enormously rich by commerce. But then, instead of stopping and hand­ ing over his business to another and spending the rest of his years in peace, he took to equpping ships for the sea in the spring. He expected to get mountains;of gold, but the ships were smashed attd his treasures were swal­ lowed up by the waves. Now they all lie at the bottonrof the sea, and he has found his riches n|elt away like those in dreams. Another man became one of the farmers of the spirit tax, and so gained a million. That was a trifle, and he wanted to double it. So he plunged up to his ears in speculations, and was utterly ruined. In short, in­ stances of this are countless. And quite right, too--a man should use dis­ cretion. At this moment fortune suddenly ap­ peared to the beggar and said: "Listen! I have long wished to help you. Here is a lot of ducats I have found. Hold out your wallet and I will fill it with them, but only on this condition. All shall be gold that falls into the wallet, but if any of it falls out of the wallet to the ground it shall all become dust. Consider this well. I have warned you beforehand. 1 shall keep strictly to my compact. Your wallet is old; don't overload it beyond its powers." Our beggar is almost too overjoyed to breathe. He scarcely feels the ground beneath his feet. He opens his wallet and with generous hand a golden stream of ducats is poured into i^, . wallet soon becomes rather heayf, ' • "Is that enough?" !:** "Not yet." "Isn't it cracking?* "Just a little more; just add a hand- full?" "There, it's full. Take care--the wallet is going to burst." "Just a little bit more." But at that moment the wallet split; the treasure fell through and turned to dust, and fortune disappeared. - The beggar had nothing but his empty wal­ let and remained as poor as before.

[Monad City (111.) special to Chicago Tritrane.] Last Saturday night, as the deep-toned voice of the bell at the shipyard Bounded the hour of 'J o clook, there rane out a continuous peal of the city fire-bells. The star,led citizens sprang from bed and hurried to the street, only to be informed that a mob was making an assault upon tne county jaiL Everybody made a rush for the scene of the operations of the mob. Qui:e a number of persons arrived at the jail before the work of the lynchers had been com­ pleted, but were not allowed to approach the building by the sentinels that had been post* d by the men who were en­ gaged in hanging John Maupin for having com­ mitted one of the most dastardly murders writ­ ten in the annals of crime. The bheriff, being apprehensive that an attempt would be made to lynch his prisoner, made itreparations to re­ ceive the expected visitors, and bad four men beside himself in the building in order to frus­ trate any attempt that might bo uide. The Sheriff and one of the gu irds were wosted in the second story of the building in a room the windows of which looked to the west and ad­ joining the cell occuoied by the prisoner. The other three men were in the lower story. About l :au o'clock the guards noticed the head of a man appear above the top of the levee, which is about fifty feet in the rear and west of the jail. The night being clear and the moon almost at full, everv object was discernible for a distance back of the levee. For an instant the man remained motionless, aud at a signal there arose from the outside ot the levee and swarmed over the top about fifty men. who made a rush for a shed beneath tho window at which the Sheriff was standing. The Sheriff at once opened tire on the mob, but failed to check its advance. One of the guards from the lower room made a rush for the sta rs leading to the cell room, and was closely pursued. He at­ tempted to close a heavy door at the head of the stairs, bnt before he could do so the leaders had thrown themselves against the door and forced it open. The iiuard who had thus attempted to thwraithe bloodthirsty gang was quickly se- curjfoand the crowd then forced an entrance ijrtpffie room where the Sheriff and an attend- •altupvt-re.

[From New York Tribune Notaa.J When Major McKinley, of Ohio, wa» here the other day, fresh from the Ohio Convention, he said that the old soldier element in Ohio is being aroused to po­ litical antagonism against the Confed­ erate administration as intense as ani­ mated that element in 18G1. One of his old comrades, General Samuel Beatty, was recently buried at Canton. The attendance on his funeral was unprece­ dented, and over his grave boys in blue %ho had been separated for'years by political dilferences shook hands and eame shoulder to shoulder again as they talked of the new reign of the Confeder­ ates. ult is not that these men have office," said Ma;. McKinley, "but it is the persistence with which they seek to el­ evate the cause for which they fought into a holy one and to degrade the cause of the Union. The men who fought the battles of their country will never permit such doctrines to be long promulgated as can be heard now at any time from tiie lips of Southern men in Washington. The Bepublican party has done all the forgetting of the war that has been done in this country. It not only forgot, but it forgave, in that large-hearted measure that was just. Neither the Bepublican party nor the Ohio platform is responsible for reviv­ ing the war issue. We had quit talk­ ing about it. Grover Cleveland is re­ sponsible for that. When he put into his Cabinet the sole defender of Jeffer­ son Davis, and when that man raised the Hag on the Interior Department in honor of the most despicable enemy thijs Union and this country ever had, he revived the war issue, and revived it in such a way that it will not down at bidding." As an incident of ihefeeling of the Ohio convention, he refitted--the cir cumstancesl under which the tic Foraker anil Kennedy was completed.

The convention wSs~enthusias- i tic in its demand that he shotild ac­ cept. Judge Foraker, passing down fifteen minutes, the door, built of heavy pieces of oak bolted together, gave wny, and the mob formed themselves, confronted by the cage, made of heavy iron bars, which still stood be­ tween them and their victim. A few strokes o( a maul shattered the padlocks with which the door was secured. There were two other pris­ oners, both colored, in the cagc, but no atten­ tion was laid to them. The man sought tor was sitting on the floor with his back to the door, apparently unconscious of the presence of any one except his fellow-prisoners. it was only the work of a moment to place a rope around Maupin's neck, and lie was dragged out and tiown the stairs into the yard, and the mob started towards the woods with him. He made no noise until he reached the top of the levee, when he yelled at the top of his voice. His voice was quickly stitied, and, not being able to keep pace with the mob, he was taken up and carried to the nearest tree, which was about ato yards from the jail. The branches of the tree, a water oak, drooped almost to the ground, but a convenient limb was found, the rope was thrown over it, and willing hands tugged at the rope, and thus he left dangling between heaven and earth, and the moonbeams struggling through the boughs rested on his biackenej and distorted features. To make the work more sure and complete, he was shot several times in different parts of the body. The shots tired were the signal for the men who were guarding the Sheriff and his deputies to join the main body ot the mob. and then they disappeared in the woods as noiselessly as they came. All ol men engaged in the affair were masked, and the officers were not able to recognize any of them, A number of colored men aided in the hanging Of Maupin. As soon as the Sheriff could reach the place where Maupin was hanged the rope was cut, and the man, now a corpse, fell to the around. By this time a large crowd gathered about, and the dead man was canted into the jail and the Coroner was notified. After viewing the remain* and hearing the evidence of a number of wit­ ness s the jury returned a verdict that "John Maupin came to his death at the hands ot a mob composed of persons to us unknown." After the inquest the remains were placed in a coffin and sent to his family, residing threj miles west ot town. The crime for which Maupin suffered was the murder ot bis son-in-law, John L. Daniels, a hard-working, thriftv farmer. At the term ot the Circuit t ourt of this county, which was in session last Monday and Tuesday, Daniels was an applicant tor a divorce from his wife, to whom he had been married several years. It was known that he desired the reparation in order that he might marry the daughter of the man by whom he was murdered. Although the girl was of age, Maupin was opposed to her mar­ riage with i'aniels. and swore t hat if the mar­ riage took place he would kill l>anie!B on sight. He informed the man he Killed to this effect, but the latter only laughed at him, and, although warned of the result, did not hesi­ tate to carry out his desire. Tuesday, the last day of the term of court, Daniels waa granted a divorce. He at once secured a mar­ riage license and started for home. Wednesday morning he saw Maupin and asked him to go to Villa Itidge and he (Daniels) would get some money that he had promised to pay him. Mau- piu went as requested, and waited till late in the afternoon, but Daniels tailed to appear. 8ome one told Maupiu that his daughter and Daniels were married at four o'clock in the afternoon. Maupin at once started for home. Arriving there he armed himself with a musket and went to the house of Daniels, where he ar­ rived at six o'clock, Daniels anil the woman to whom he had been married but twojgours were s anding in the dooryard. MaupiqApproached, when Daniels said to htm: " "Let us reason over this matter." No reulv was made to this request, but Mau­ pin raised his gun, and, taking deliberate aim, sent a charue of twenty buckshot through Daniel's body, the charge striking him below and back of the right nipple and coming out at his ba:k. Daniels did nut instantly fall, and Maupin took his gun by the muzzle and struck him a heavv blow in tbe forehead aud felled liim to the earth. N'ot satisfied with his work, he seized the butt of the gun and crushed the skull ot his victim into a shape'ess mass He then turned and said to his daughter that if he had another charge for his gun he would kill her. Fiom the time Manpin was placed in jail un­ til he was taken out by the mob he did not utter a single word. Maupin was a bad man and came here from Arkansas. Bheriff Haskins, of Mississippi County, Arkansas, came here about two years ago and arrested Maupin under a charge of cat­ tle stealing atid took him to Osoeola, Ark., but he was not convicted. This officer said that Maupin was the terror of all the people of that section of the country anil had killed several men in that State, but always managed to es­ cape the penalties of his misdeeds. At tne time of his (ieath he waa under indictment in this oouaty for assault to murder. --Judge Gary, of Chicago, decided a case involving an unusually bare-faced and clever swindle. Some unknown man went to Chebnnse, Grundy County, in 1875, aud personated a farmer in that county, named Will Bobbins, who had a farm. He mort­ gaged the farm to the Grundy County Bank, and took from it a loan in the shape of a draft for $1,200 on the First National Bank of Chicago. The draft was paid, and th« swindler has never been heard from since. Pretty soon the genuine Will Bobbins was called on for some interest, and then the swindle came out Hoge, the Cashier of the Grundy County Bank, was made to stand the loss, and then he sued the First National Bank for paying the draft and making him liable. The Judge decided in favor of the defendant. --Two old soldiers of Lake County are rejoicing in the receipt of a liberal arrears of pension, and, as it happens, both were Fife-Majors.

Reading for Colored Democrats. Richard T. Greener, a Washington negro, is writing letters to colored men in Ohio, urging them to vote against Judge Foraker, the Republican candi­ date for Governor, for the reason that some years ago he was employed as consul in a case involving the question of separate schools for white and black children. This time-serving colored politician, to satisfy a personal griev­ ance, has treacherously turned his back upon the Republican party, which fought for the rights of his people and secured them, and gone over into the camp of the party which fought against them, and urges his friends in Ohio to follow him. To any colored men Who may be disposed to follow this sore- headed, disgruntled traitor, we com­ mend the following document which recently appeared, posted up in Madi­ son County, Kentucky, across the river: VAGRANTS. ̂ roil SAI.E--NOTICE.

At the top of this precious document was a picture of a negro, just as the old slaveholders used to place at the top of their announcements of Blave sales or runaway slaves, a cut of a negro, thus showing that the "vagrants" who are to be sold into slavery for a year are colored people. This is a Democratic sale in a Democratic State, and it is in the interests of a party like this that this man Greener is urging the colored men of Ohio to vote. Be­ fore they make their decision we com­ mend to them this document and ask them to read it carefully and then give Greener their answer.--Chicago Trib­ une. . Commissioner Black. As a Democratic idol we fear that Pension Commissioner Black has feet of lead, hands of gold, and a head of clay. In the first place, he draws two salaries, both monthly. One is a pen­ sion for wounds received in action, the other is for inaction as Pension Com­ missioner. In the second place, he has been routed by a woman, and this is both ungallant and unmilitary. Com­ missioner Black on assuming his office sounded what was supposed to be a bugle for reform. It has proved a penny whisle, the echoes ot whose squeak have died out already. He made a demand upon Miss Sweet, of Chicago, for her office as Pension Agent, but he was obliged to succumb to her stronger and better re-enforced position. It is not a very glorious rec­ ord that Commissioner Black has made. If a favoring chance will protect him his "strong hold" will be in using his office to protect his own pension, which is the highest paid to any one on the Eension list. It was secured no one nows how or why. He will have enough to do in defending liis right to drawing so large a pension, when more deserving men get less, without pro­ claiming what wonders he is about to do with the pension list.
