The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1857-10-22
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A ef Consisten-


Our friend Allison Of the SteubenvilIe Herald
is what might be termed a 'beautiful specimen
of consistency" In late number of his pa
per, he says that all Of the present financial ru-
in Of the country has been brought about by
the repeal Of the old protective tariff of 1912.
Well, in the same paper, he urges everybody in
Ohio to vote for Salmon P. Chase, Milton Sut-
Tiff, and Alfred P. Stone who are and always
have been ultra free trade men. While he is
urging his readers to vote for those ultra free
traders in Ohio, he also urges his friends in
Pennsylvania to vote for David Wilmot, the ran
iest free trader in the country, Of whom the
Harrisburgh Telegraph of July 8, 1916, a strong
whig paper at that time, spoke as foows:-
ave rejoice in being able to record the votes
of all the Loco Foco members in Congress from
this State EXCEPTING WhMof OF BRADFORD
COUNTY, against the repeal of the Tariff Of Is IL.
This qec7eant son cho basely betrayed. Her inter-
eas anI ,,,ted with tie Free TIalers sboHW be
bnnished fran her teu2t0ry. Ills infamous treG-
cherry should be recengel by diso,0aing and dt~niag
him upon the South tor support Ills NAME AND
HIS DEED WILL STINK IN THE NosTRILs OF Ev-
ERY TRUE HEARTED PENSsYhvANIAN FOREVER
whilst those Of Broadhead, Thompson, FoS-
ter, and all the other Loco Focos, and the
Wings who honestly and faithfully did their
duty to Pennsylvania, will be held in grateful
remembrance"

Airos.iIics in Epsdsns

A correspondent writing to Dr. Duff, the well
known Missionary details the following barba-
rites, of which he was a witness:
"a next door English ucighbor of mine was
visited one night by a gang Of upwards of two
dozen Sepoys, fully equipped with destructive
arms. On the hue and cry being given, went
to the terrace of my house, and saw with my
own eyes the rascals cutting in two an infant
boy of two or three years Of age while playing
with his mother; next they hacked into pieces
the lady, and subsequently, most shockingy
and horribly the husband" The writer made
his escape by back door, and by means oil a
bamboo he managed to cross the Ganges and
make his way through multiplied difficulties to
Benares
At one ofthe stations q lady in panic terror,
had hidden herself i'll an obscure corner OF tic
house Through chink or creVice in the par
titon she saw the bleeding head OF one OF her
children rolled as q ball across the 1l00r and on
emerging from her hiding place, bcheld the raG-
ments ofanother scattered about her.
An officer and his wife were attacked by many
sowars, or mutinecrs of native cavalry. The
brave officer Singly shot dead seven on the spot,
and at last was overcome by the rebels, Instead
however, OF allowing himself to be dissraced by
the scoundrols, under the pressure OF the awful
emergency, he first killed his wife and then put
an end TO his own lie.
A small party Of gentlemen, with young lady
lately resident in Calcutta, and well known to
some Of us, effected their escape to an isolated
house, where they were hard pressed by the ie-
rociouS mutineer In case fther being event
ually orerpowercd by numbers, they entered in
to a mutual, though dismal agreement, to kill

One Miles Darden lately died in Tennessee
AS will be seen by the following particulars fur
nished Of the man, he was a giant, and no mis-
take:-
s'lIe was twice married. His children are
very large, but probably none Of them will ever
be more than half the weight of their father. --
He was quite active and. lively, and labored nn-
Til about four years ago, when he became so
fleshy that he was compelled to stay at home,
or be hauled about in two horse wagon.
Sin 1886 he made contract with tailor to
furnish him suit of clothes for $50--the cloth
was to cost So per yard Upon measuring it
took twelve yards Of cloth. SO the tailor lost
SO and the making. The tailor states that
three men, each weighing over two hundred
pounds, put the coat on, buttoned it around
them and walked across the square at LcXinG-
ton. In 1S50it took thirteen and one hal yards
one yard wile to make him coat. 1t took
sixteen yards of cambria for his shroud, twenty
four yards Of black velvet to cover the sides
and lid of his coffin; one hundred and twenty
five feet Of plank to make his coffin.
"His coffin was eight feet long; across the
breast thirty-two inches; across the head ci9h
teen inches; across foot fourteen inches; its
depth thirty five inches. lie weighed in 1855
eighteen hundred and seyenty-one pounds. His
heighth was seven feet six inches. Ills weight
when he died. as nearly as could be ascertained
was fraction over one thousand pounds"

The size Of MAN.

It is a very common opinion that in the early
ages of the world, men in general possessed sr.
perior physical properties, and were of greater
size than at present. But all the facts and cir.
cumstances which can be brought forward on
this subject tend to show that the human form
has not degenerated, and that man of the present
generation are of the same statue as at the begin
ing of the world. Thus, all that remains OF the
human body, the homes, and particularly the
teeth, which have been found unchanged in the
most ancient urns and burial places, demonstrate
this point clearly. The Oldest coffin in the
world is that found in the great pyramid of f.
gypt; and this sarcophagus hardly exceeds the
size ofour ordinary coffin, being six feet and a
half long. That we are not degenerated from
the effects afcivilnation is clear, because the
sayages do not excel US in height.
