F We make the following extract from the
Washington correspondence Of the Baltimore
Sun, intorger to let our readers know what pros
pect there is for the election of Speaker If the
writer be in the secret the prospect is gloomy e.
nough
presume your readers are almost as tired OF
hearing of the Speakership as l am Of writing
about it, The truth is, !'the Speakership has be-
come an obsolete idea" There are those who
still hold on to it, but sensible men seem to have
given it up. The House is merely waiting on
Providence, and the probability is that after each
member shall have eaten bis Christmas turkey;
they will put the names OF all the members eN-
GLIDING, however, the Free Sellers in hat and
dsuss for the Speakership. To make the game
as fair as possible, | would propose, that each
party furnish its own names, and that MIR, Will
mot end Mr. Preston King be selected. one for
holding the hat and the other for drawing the
name that shall win the prize Nobody then
could complain about the want OF fairness, and
all parties would have contributed towards the
election A=5
The Wing caucus held last night, was merely
a council of war; Nothing serious was done eX-
cept that it was resolved to await the enemy be-
hind entrenchments. The Democratic caucus
last evening was a more serious affair Speech
es were made by several members, and all at
temptsat compromises, plurality rules, &c, fought
down manfuly. It was also stated by one of
the most distinguished members OF the party that
the proposition to give the Wings three or four
important committees, was as bad as to give the
Wings the Speaker .inasmncb as the Committee
Of Ways and Means, claimed by the Wings,
would place the Treasury at their disposal. The
Democrats will hold another caucus tonight, at
which, no doubt, Mr. Cobb will again be nomi-
mated, with perfect understanding to vote for
him til the end of the Presidential term in 1888,
unless Speaker be elected previously.

From the CAiheothe (Ohio) Gazette, Dec. L.,
AWFUL TRAGEDY.

rumor of an awful tragedy, near Xenia,
reached us this morning, for the authenticity OF
which we cannot vouch 1t is said that Mr.
Armour, farmer, residing within few miles
Of Xenia, was known to have in his possession
some two or tree thousand dollars. Two indi-
viduls, on one day last week, arrived in the cars
from Cincinnati, and Immediately proceeded to
Armour's for the ostensibe purpose of purchas-
ing his premises. They induced him to accom-
pany them through and around the farm, and
upon arriving at a strip Of woods, he was brutal
ty murdered by the assassins, who Immediately
started for the house. Mrs. Armour, the wife,
seeing the strangers returning without her hus-
band became alarmed and instantly conlectured
fher designs. She secured the treasure of her
husband and locked herself in all adjacent room.
The two individuals entered and searched the
house, but being unable to find what they de.
sired, discovered the infant sleeping in the bed,
which they concluded had been abandoned by its
mother through fright. They, thereupon, threw
it in the fire, with the hope that its cries would
attract the attention ofthe mother, from whom
they might extort confession as to the deposit
of the money. Mrs. Armour, strange to say,
managed to resist the impulses of a sympathis-
ing mother, and retained the place of her con-
cealment. The robbers at length abandoned
the search as hopeless-and took the return
train to Cincinnati. Information of the transact
ton was Immediately communicated to the
proper officers who succeeded in getting an ex-
press train upon the road and oyerhauled the
first train before reaching Cincinnati. We are
pleased 10 add tAat INTERPRETATIONS were cap
tured and safely lodged in the Cincinnati Jail &c
await their trial. :"

The Dutch have taken Holland

NHESE are the times in which men look for
the doings of the world and general informa-
ton, to the Press, which is by.the-by, the true
pathfinder for business men, as well as those who
wish to make every Penny count most for them,
selves. This being the order Of the day the un
dersgned wish to keep with Inc current, and at
the same time give the reader good hint which
path to travel to make his money count most. A
few good reasons will satisfy the reader at once
why it is that they can and will sell any gentle,
man suit of Z
Egeasay-EsRade Clothing,
from the commonest every day suit, to fine Sun
day and sHperfine wedding suit, cheaper than any
other establishment. In the first place, then, they
are able to sell cheaper than other establishments
because they are well acquainted with their busi
ness They buy and sell for Cash, and know
when and where and how to purchase their goods.
Goods well bought are hafsod" Even if they
had 10 advantages over any one in their Inc Of
business, they can still underseil them, because
they require no large profits TO make up for large
expenses. They attend to their business them
celves, and therefore incur but small expenses,
comparatively speaking, in carrying on The same.
They sell their Goods for Cash, and therefore re-
quire large profits to make up for less sustained
by credit sales. No one will doubt that the CASH
system, together with small profits, is the best
mode dealing and most advantageous to the pur
chaser. II any one doubts this, he viii be con-
WINGED of its truth by calling at the

while they admit that system of pnrgation, fol
the removal of disease, is the true one, yet they
ask why the VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL Fill OF
Doctor Branreth should possess qualities not ionnd
in any of the ordinary purgatlve medicines IN use
by the faculty. But the more intelligent of them
admit that no other purgative, yet discovered, can
be taken in such quantities. or in quantities sam

such nrgatives are frequently resortestto IN large

A RECENT INCIDENT.

In the crowded market place Of one of oEr south
western cities, northern vender of religious books
was exhibiting his stock in trade, and calling on
the people to step up and buy. He was a col
porteur Of the American Tract Society, but seem
ed so abundan.ly supplied that he had the book
/ which every man called for, whatever its subject
i or title Indeed, the variety of his supply was
SO curious and extensive, that one man offered to
bet another Mr.. By that he could not name a
book which the vender had not or hand. Mr.. B.
took him and cried out:

moir of the Dev?'
s.'The very thing" replied the agent, taking
4 out book, the only authentic memoir OF his ma
iesty ever published, called the Holy Bible price

Mr.. B, was obliged to pay his bet and buy the

applause.
