AFFECTING INTERVIEW ~ THE JAN -
A Scene OF SORROW, RgPESTANCE AND
REMoRsE BETWEEN a FATHER AND HIS

tiers, succeeded in etfectlng a reconciliation
between the father and his two girls also in
Jail charged with larceny - 10 whom their
parent had not spoken since the domestic
tragedy, more than two years ago.
BY the kindness Of the jailor the daugh-
ters were allowed 10 visit their father in his
cell, when a most affecting interview took
place; the girls falling on his neck and
weeping like children. when from the eyes
of the stern, strong man who had slain the
vile destroyer of his child's honor, aud had
known her to fall step by step to degrade
tion and despair, the great tears ran like
rain-the agony of heart wrung 10y aiiiIc-
ton and agonized b, terrible suffering to a
woman's tenderness
For some minutes h0 one of that trio
spoke Sobs choked their u:tcraucc. and
the memory Of the fearful! past awed them
into silence. Their sorrow melted them to
sympathy, and love and grief. remorse and
repentance filed their hearts to busting
In that moment that moment they We're pu-
rited; in that hour their errors were blotted
out by the tears of deepest contrition, and
atonement made to Nature and themselves
At last one of the girls, the dishonored
and avenged, fell at her fathers feet, and
said with still strengthening eyes:
go, father. dearest father, can You for
give me -
Yes yes, my child, with all my heart, -
was the solemn and impressive answer, ''as
| hope to be forgiven
Then both his daughters knelt and re-
ceived his blessing, and moment after he
was by their side Offering up a prayer for
strength to resist temptation and avoid evil
in the future. The father embraced them
tenderly again and again, aud assured them
of his entire forgiveness, while they prom
ised amendment and reform. and resolved
to seek comfort and support in the faith
their parent recently had sought.
The scene as witnessed was extremely
pathetic, and such as our plain pencil can
not paint Several who witnessed the rec
oncilation were, in spite Of themselves
melted TO tears, and left the cell with bet
ter opinion Of that human nature which
however it may err is always held by q
golden though invisible thread to It's native
heaven-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Zone .Eye) the well-known Indian chief and
warrior was in Wabashaw, Minnesota, last
week He is supposed to have been born
about the year l755, according to the Wa
bashaw Herald, which would make him
lO4 years of age. He was chief,says that
paper, of one of Red Wings bands OF Sioux
and in the war Of 1872 fought nobly and
galantly with the Americans against the
British. He was ais on the side Of the
Americans in the Black Hawk war, aud
has rendered the whites valuable service at
other times The Herald gives copy Of
the commission given him by Gov Clark
of Missouri. in 1916. Old Tarmahhah
takes great pride in showing this commits
sion. and also demands cuSh pop for a
SIGHT of it. The marks Of extreme old age
are visible in his countenance. He is chill
dish and imbecile, and is but wreck Of
the once mighty warrior who led his braves
to battle and to victory.

THE CELEBRATED YACHT ANERICA.-
MIR. Leonard ". Jerome Of New York has
been bargaining for the purchase of the
yacht America, the c0nquercr Of the Exhi-
bitiou at London in 1851. This yacht was
bought from Nr Stephens OF lIoboken. her
builder. by Lord De Bluquiere, who sold
her to Lord Templetown, who in turn sold
her to the Niessrs. Prichard, shipbuilders at
North Fleet, ON the Thames, two miles above
Gravessend. Lord Templetown sunk the
yacht by accident near the yard of the
Messers Pritchard, and it was only after
she had lain in that condition for some time
that she was bought By these gentlemen
1t is probable that the sum paid for her was
insignificant, but Lord Tempietown has
asked for and obtained the first promise for
purchase after she has again ben put in
repair. Mr. jerome, who Is spending the
Winter in Paris. lately visited the yard of
the Messrs. Pritchard, in order to inspect
the boat. and he found her on the stocks. in
the workmen'. hands, undergoing complete
repair from top to bottom. More than half

rotten, and are being replaced; but they
are restoring her exactly upon the original

SECTIONALISM OF THE DEMOCRATIC

Ii this is a true picture of the condition
to which the Democratic party has been re-
duccd by its sectional platform of extension
into the protection of Slavery in the Terri
tories may it not well desire to back ont of
its position
On the other hand, should not the Oppo-
sition be admonshed by it to adhere to it's
National platform of non-intervention with
Slavery III the States and the old Jefferso-
nian doctrine Of non. extension Of Slavery
into free Territories J? Why should the
Republicans trouble themselves about any
change in Il platform which has thus far
carried them 50 safely and surely to victo-
ry p. Let them remain steadfast to that
bread and National platform of opposition
to all the schemes Of the Democracy for
the expansion Of the slave power Wash.

WISCONSIN - ANOTHER REPUBLICAN
Triumph 1t now appears that the cleo
ton for Justice of the Supreme Court in
Wisconsin, has resulted in the choice of BY
ron Paine. the Republican nominee. by
majority Of over 5000. The contest invol-
we'd the question Of State Sovereignty, the
Supreme Court of the United States being
at issue with the State Court Of last resort,
in an attempt to compel the latter to ac-
knowledge the constitutionality and enforce
the operation ef the Fugitive Slave Law Of
1880.
Mr. Paine though a Lawyer Of conceded
talents and ability. is young man. while
his opponent was an experienced Jurist and
perhaps, as unexceptionable as any that
could have been found in the Democratic
ranks. Add to this, thai: local and personal
questious were dragged in to embarrass the
Republicans, aud it will be seen that the
contest was made under Disadvantages,
which render the victory all the more graf
flying and significant AL Jouy.
