PoLITIcAL.-The election in Vermont,
which took place Tuesday 9th, resulted, of
course, in the very triumphant reelection of
Gov. Hiland Hall. John G. SAKE, whose per-
sonal popularity afforded his fellow partizans
SO much satisfaction, will continue to write
poetry and make jokes as usual.
The Republicans of Haverhill, held their
caucus last Friday, elected delegates to the
Fitchburg Convention, and instructed them
''to go first and last, for ballot nomination, in
selecting candidates for state officers in the
coming election" They are not 'fond" of the
entire state ticket in Haverhill, and criticized
it with considerable freedom.
The election in Maine will take place on the
18th. 1t was f'resolved" at a recent Republi-
can meeting in Cumberland county, that if
Manasseh II. Smith is ever to be Governor of
Maine, it must be in some period of that unde-
fined " eternity" which he expects to Spend
in the company of Democrats"
Carl Schurz, who was Gov. Randall's prin-
cipal competitor of the Republican nomination
for Governor of Wisconsin, was nominated for
Lieutenant Governor by reclamation, but de-
clined, saying that he disclamed all personal
feeling in the matter and that his highest am
bition was to be worker in the Republican
ranks in 1860.
The Republicans Of Hennepin comfy, Min
nesota, among other nominations, have select
ed for county auditor Harlow A. Gale, formerly
of Worcester county. Mr.. Gale is the present
auditor by appointment.
Anderson, opposition candidate for Congress
in the fourth Kentucky district, has been de-
clared elected by three votes. The canvassers
refused to receive the corrected returns of
Cumberland county, which would have given
Chrisman, Democrat, eleven majority. Chris
man will contest.

ter differently. 1t says that "the deceased
was sitting in carriage, and was bending
over to avoid the destructive weapon when he
received the fatal thrust; that he was upon
the grounds designated by the marshals for
occupation of spectators, and was peaceably
watching the display. His widowed mother
and his sister are not the only sufferers, there
is another yet dearer, to whom he was soon to
be married, whose fondest hopes are blighted
by this sad tragedy" The Palladium also
publishes extracts from private letters showing
how intense feeling of Indignation there is
among the personal friends of Mr.. Banks. One
writer says;
"The stified moan and piercing cry of dis,
tress is stilled now Young Banks is no more
Joining in the tetes that welcomed Col. Sey-
mour to his home, he was murdered in the
broad sunlight at that brilliant ovation. The
cold steel of an assassin with worse than Sc
poyish brutality, struck down the young man
in the full yigor of life, and carried ruin and
desolation to an otherwise happy home. Who
shall assuage the deep grief OF that aged and
widowed mother-herself an invald-aS she
sobS over the mangled form of her young boy!
Who check the tears that well up from the
hearts OF those sisters as tney gaze Oh tne
pulseless form of him who was once their pride
and protection Come nearer STILL and con-
sole if you can, that young girl whose morn Of
life is so suddenly darkened. The bride Of
death has claimed him who was soon to be the
realization Of her fondest dreams. Alas the
bridal robes will be exchanged, and the wreath
of orange flowers wither ere it's worn.
Why did that man murder me 2 Let this ag-
onizing shrek of poor Banks be answered, and
if there be any virtue left in our courts JUS
tice, let no squeamish plea of indiscretion or
'n1isrunsrructlon, serve as lonphole of escape
for the perpetrators of this barbarous act. Let
our pet soldiery be taught that festive occa-
sions do not require the butchering of our
youth as an incidental or necessary sacrifice"
The body of the deceased was taken to
Bridgeport on the noon train, and the funeral
was expected to take place Immediately upon
its arrival at Trumbull.

The GEM OF THE misunderstanding to
the official statement the receipts into tho
colonial treasury of the island of Cuba, during
the first six months of the present year, were
Sl0,O37 ,563, or upwards of ten millions of dol
lars. OF this sum, SO, 761 1904 were what are
known as "land rents, or the income from the
public lands. The remaining S6,305678 were
the port revenues, and known by the name of
maritime rents" Compared with last year,
this shows an increase in the revenues of the
island Of about $780, 900 for the six months, or
million of dollars for the year. The royal
income from the 'ever faithful isle" the present
year will exceed twenty millions of dollars.
Spain can hardly afford to sell an estate that
yields her such an income for the hundred
millions of dollars which Mr.. Buchanan offers.

The ST. Louis BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
The well remembered case, at st. Louis, of
Miss Efie Z. Carstung VS.. Henry Shaw, which
was tried some time since and resulted in the
enormous verdict of one hundred thousand dol
lars in favor Of the plaintiff, has again been
brought into notice by investigations Instituted
by the defendant in the neighborhood of New
York, for the purpose of procuring evidence to
impeach, if possible, the character of the plain
tiff, who with her father formerly resided in
Brooklyn. a commission was issued by the
courts of Missouri appointing John NJ Eager
and Edward II. Collins, Esq, of New York, to
take testimony. The testimony, which is
very voluminous, is just closed. Many of the
first and oldest citizens of Brooklyn have been
examined A statement recently appeared in
the New York Herald to the effect that the
only important witness produced against Miss
Carstung had been fully impeached while
the next issue OF that paper contained n letter
from one Of the defendants counsel, deprcca.

FALL OF ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FEET FROM A BALLooN.-The London Times
reports that on the 18th ult. a man named
Hall assembled in balloon from Newcastle. on
the-Tyne. In about twenty-five minutes the
balloon descended in the neighborhood of Boil.
den, about seven miles from Newcastle, and
fell in clover field The graphing irons,
however, did not keep hold Of the ground, and
some of the ballast having upset, the balloon
suddenly rose again, when Mr.. Hail. who was
about to alight from the car at the time the
balloon rose, and whose feet caught in the
ropes, was whirled suddenly into the air. For
moment he hung with his head downwards,
when the rope got disentanged, and he fell a
distance, it is computed, Of 40 feet A farm
er and his son who were in field close by
came 70 his assistance, and lie was found to be
sensible, but he soon after became uncon-
sclous. lie was removed to Scots.house.
where he was Immediately attended by sur.
geoni and though he fell the fearful distance
mentioned, there are some hopes he will re.
cover. After Mr.. Hail was thrown out the
balloon assembled to great hight, and was last
seen drifting out to the German Ocean. A
little dog belonging TO the aronaut was taken
up in the car.

CAUTION TO HuNTERs.-ln the shooting
season, there are frequent wounds and deaths
from the accidental discharge of guns. In al
most every case, these result from the danger
Gus practice of keeping the hammer down upon
the percussion cap. 1t is too plain to require
proof, that very slight blow upon the back OF
the hammer in such circumstances will fire off
the gun; and yet three-quarters of the gunners
have an idea that such is the safe way to carry
a loaded gun. 1t is much more dangerous
than the full cock. The only safe way is to
keep the GIN haltccocked, while riding or handling
out of the field 1t is so improbable that any
thing should draw back the hammer and pull
the trigger at the same instant, that it may be
called practically impossible that gun should
be fired off Internationally when thus secured.
Why will not people use little common sense,
and save what few brains they have!

MARRIAGE AND ELOPEMENT ON BUSINESS
PRINCIPLEs.-On the forks of Wood river
there has lived for ten years past an honest
German named Henry Weber, happy hus.
band and father Of six children Last week,
on going home to dinner, he was surprised to
find his team hitched to his wagon, the house
hold furniture loaded in the wagon, in which
were also the wife and six children, all ready
to start. On inquiring what all meant his
hired man, also German, gave Weber to
understand that it was none of his business,
and presented a six shooter at Weber, Jump
ed into the wagon, and deliberately drove off,
since which Weber has had no tidings of
wife, children, horses, wagon, or household
furniture.
Weber had not the slightest reason to be.
ieve his wife unfaithful, or that she was in
any degree dissatisfied. He married her after
a strictly business fashion. Some twelve years
ago, while acting as flour-packer for Wise &
Lea, he thought he ought to get married
Too much occupied in business to court q
wife, he wrote to female friend in ST. Louis,
whom he had known in Germany, to select a
wife for him. In few days his ST. Louis
friend replied to him, stating that she had
made the selection, and requested him to
come down on given day and marry the wo-
man selected. On the day appointed he went
to ST. Louis, saw the woman married her.
and returned with her to this city the same
evening, and ever since he has lived happily
with her. Her departure was as business-like
as her marriage.-Ahon( O.) Courier.
