mr.. ThurIow Weed 0verreached Him
self.


The N. Y. correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Mercury, tells the following piquant story
about WEED and FILLMORE:
Heard a good story the other day. Not ex-
actly local, but eminently national, as it in
wolves famous politician and an ex-Presi-
dent, who hate each other tremendously
Two or three years ago the railroad routes
between Albany and Buffalo were consoldat-
ed. you remember, under the title of New
York Central. Thurlow Weed, of the Albany
Ecenu1g Journal, engineered the matter through
the Legislature, and for this service was to
receive the handsome sum of $4,000. OF which
Erastus Corning was to furnish s., 600 and
Dean Richmond $4,000.
The plan succeeded and the money was paid
over. But as Mr.. Weed didn't think it would
look well to have the stock stand in his own
name, he had it made over to an old and par
ticular friend of his, Mr. McIntosh, who had
money as railroad contractor. 1t was IN
derstood between the parties that Mcintosh
was to hold the stock, and then quietly make
it over to Weed. But, unluckily, Mcintosh
died suddenly, one fine day, and forgot to
leave a will. So the administrators, in max
ing up account of the assets, stumbled upon
the certificates for this $4,000, and put them
down to McIntosh's credit, supposing, OF
course, they were his.
The debts were paid, and a handsome bal
ance was left for the widow, the attractive
Mrs Mcintosh who was married few weeks
ago to Mr. er-President Fillmore! Thurlow's
eight thousand dollars went along with the
widow into the arms of the man whom Thur
low hates, probably, as bad as one man can
hate another. For a pOlitico scandalous yarn
it is not bad, and makes fun.

Ancient Relics Found I'm Ohio.

The following remarkable story is told by Il
correspondent of the Sydney (Ohio) Journal,
under date of Newport Ohio, May %:
"a short time ago some workmen who
were digging "A cellar on the place of III. VOL
haver, about one and half miles from this
place, exhumed human skeleton. The
bones were in excellent preservation, aud with
them were several medals and small silver
coins. By further examination. few days
after, they discovered sort of ancient maui
soleum, about nineteen feet long by nine wide.
The walls were of cobble stones, aud about
two feet thick. The bodies Except the first,
which was in sitting posture) were placed
parallel with each other directly across the
grave, and were in an oblique position, with
the heads toward the east. They were laid
with the right sike downward, the right hand
over the heart, and the lett, with the index
finger extended, pointing toward the setting
sun aud the faces turned slightly upwards
"Around the neck of each skeleton, as 1t
was exhumed. was found chain OF beautiful
workmanship, about three feet long, which
with one exception, were of highly tempered
steel. The one excepted was of silver. At
the ends of these were small oval-shaped
medals, and near the center of each was an
oblate spheriod of the purest silver, weighing
about twelve ounces. The ends of these were
curiously joined together around the neck by
little hands of silver. Near each of these
ancient relics was found spear about nine
feet in length, which, with bows aud arrows,
were all the weapons found. These appear
to have been saturated with some substance,
which has discolored the earth near them; the
same substance appears TO have been used To
preserve the bodies. There were also found
a number If silver coin of various sizes, but
so much corroded that the characters upon
them cannot be deciphcr,d. II we except the
date upon two or three OF them, which Is 1911.
II was at first thought u be 1911, but upon
closer inspection Ii is found 90 be the former:
Ii is said by some that the letters Span"
are TO be seen upon them, but they are go
nearly erased thai cannot distinguish them
with any certainty; therefore shall not ven

The PennsyIvania--Caus Of the Dis
aster.


The Memphis ApalDnehe of the 18th inst
1t seems to be pretty well ascertained that
the disaster was the direct result of defective
machinery, coupled with desire. perhaps, on
the part of the officers in command to force
the boat into a speed altogether beyond her
power of endurance. The Pennsylvania was
crowded with passengers, although, from the
conflicting statements which have been made,
and the destruction of the boats register, the
number of the killed will never be known TO
the world. 1t is said, however. that it was
known to the officers of the Pennsylvania that
the steamer Diana was gaining rapidly upon
them, and the disposition on the part of the
officers of the Pennsylvania to rival the speed
of the Diana. doubtless solves the problem of
the fearful disaster which has been so fatal in
its consequences. We also learn that, during
the last season. the chiefengineer called the
attention of the owners of the boat to defect
in the steam-pipe, which conducts the steam
from the boilers to the cylinder, and desired
that the boat should discontinue her trips in
order that the necessary repairs might be
made; but the request of the engineer was
not acceeded to- and the boat has continued to
make her regular trips, despite knowledge
on the part of the officers of defective ma
chinery. 1t is altogether foreign to our feel
ings, however. to indulgei in the elimination OF
any parties. particularly at this saddening mo-
ment. but we deem it proper that everything
which will lead to an explanation of the
causes which contributed to the disaster should
be known TO the public.

The DEMOCRATIC PLuG UGIIEs.-The Wash
ington Star of the 9Th inst, has the following
under its local head.
Yesterday, throughout the day, gangs OF
drunken rowdies were riding around the city
in hacks or other vehicles screeching, swear
ing and Disappearing at great rate. The
ouly individual among them all we were able
TO recognize, was a clerk in the Office OF the
Third Auditor of the Treasury, named Robin
son-a man with one arm. IL Is due 30 the
character OF the rest Of the employees OF the
Treasury Department that Secretary Cobb
should promptly take cognizance OF this Of
fence against the reputation of the gentleman

rs- A telegraphic dispatch from New Or
leans was published By some OF the city pa
pers here a few days ago, stating that Mr.
lumsden. editor of the Fiezysfae. bad been
arrested by the Vigilance COMMITTEES for being
drunk and disorderiy about their quarters
We are authorized To state that this report Is
as false as most of those sent out by the re
porters. who were the mere tools OF the Nigi-
lance Committee. Mr.. Lumsden Is high
hearted gentleman and an independent editor
He dared 10 disappTove the outrageous pro
ceetiings Of the Vigilance Committeeman, and
for that reason was obnoxious 10 them. The
telegraph dispatch alluded 70 was, we are IN

THE Loss-In relation to the number lost
on the Inflated Pennsylvania, the Memphis Ap-
peal says
1t is impossible to give an accurate report
of the number and names of the killed, wound
ed and missing. But we are satisfied that the
loss was even greater than is reported. We
are informed by passengers of the Pe1asylodriid
that both the deck and cabins were crowded,
one estimate being as high as four hundred
and fifty passengers-one hundred and fifty in
the cabins. and three hundred German and
French emigrants between decks. If this
statement he correct, the loss must be much
greater than has been reported, inasmuch as
the number known to be saved does not amount
to over half of this amount, including wound
ed persons.

The great error of the Vigilants in New
Orleans was dilatory action. When they put
their hands to the pillow they should not have
looked back.-Cin. Eng. -
Would you really have had them go right
on with their blowing without turning their
heads when the Know-Nothing army, clothed
with the terrors of the law, were pouring
vengefully down upon their rear! Mighty
fine burrows and a mighty pretty piece of agri-
culture they would have made of it,
Certainly it was high time for the plowmen
not merely to look back but to unhitch their
horses, oxen, and mules, and go back. And
they did.-LOu Jour.
