Sad Fate of an Editor.

We find the following in the Chicago Times
of a late date
Very late Wednesday afternoon, a laborsr,
returning homeward from work, while passing
along w est Lake street near the city limits,
came upon a man stretched on the ground.
who was apparently stupid from intoxication
His hat lay a f-w feet distant, and the remain
der Of his attire was soiled and dirty, though
otherwise they were in good condition, and,
being of good quality, indicated that their
we .rrr was WELT, do j the world. But his ha r
was fruwzy and uucon bed, aud his eyes we've
~fearfully swollen moreover, the mans iea-
lures showed the ravages of dissipation
Not one could have looked. upon hi IL US. he
lay there in that sad condition, without invu-
king from his own heart u feeling of charity.
A~-dEunkard even. would have drawn from
the spectacle u lesson even TO recoTfecred-
Yet. that was only an ordinary specracle.-
Fvery body has seen the4ike, ~ least once in
his lifetime. And the labo er, therefore, only
now fastening his footsteps that he might the
s .oner rest himself irom the toll OF the day,
aud gather renewed cause for thankfulness
aid strength Tor TO morrow.
1t was growing dark. The deepening gloom
would soon hide the dlstresscs OF the stranger
fro III the gaze of the curious. A group Of
children returning that way from school, also
found him. To them, at least, all inexperien-
ced and happily unskiiled in the ways of the
world, the sight was u novel one. They LAID
down their baskets, and shouted aloud u hub
bub of childish clamor. nd danced gleefuily
around the sleeper. Still he did not move
Not a stir, nor a look, nor a word did the buys
arouse. For in their innocence offeeling they
little imagined the ghastly mockery of theg
sport.
The strange MAJ was dead
And when this was accertained, a few citi-
zens went to the spot ami removed the body
to a nei. hboriny saloon I! Ii remained there
until yesterday morning. Then the Cor
oner was summoned and a jury was impane!-
ed, and an inquest was Leid. From papers
found upnn the body, the deceased was then
indent fled as James T.. Castle, the editor OF
the Tecumseh (Mich J Herdd 1t was pro-
ven that about one q, clock ON " ednesday al
teruocn, he had taken u Randolph street horse
Car. He was very much intox. Gated, so that
when he was about to leave the car near the
city limits. he trip ed and fell forward upon
the roadway, slightly injuring his nose. He
had no change wherewith to pay his return
fare. And having been left there by the con.
ductor, b. SAT- down on the sidewalk aud com.
menced to fondle a dog. Further than that,
until he was found dead, evidence was wan.
ting. In his pockets were found accounts
with subscribers, a lew bank notes, and mem
oranda, which, among other things, contained
a record Of u marriage solemniztd by him in
1919. bearing his signature as a Justice vi
the Peace. He had also a pop-bottle N his
pocket, partly filled with whisky.
The Jury rendered a verdict that the de-
ceased had died from the effects of liquor and
other causes unknown.

How 1t Works.

A widow in Western New York whose hus-
hand was killed in tho war had left her by her
husband a note for about five thousand dollars,
secured by mortgage. Al the sume time >he
owed in Canada a debt of less than 81, 1000
Under the legal tender law she is obliged to
take greenbacks for what is due her in New
York. While she is obliged to pay specie or its
equivalent for the sum she owes IN Canada
The FIVE Thousand dollars is of course INSULT
cient to pay this debt. She don't clearly un-
derstan d it, and has almost lost faith in odd
Abe's' proposition that 1t is easier to pay a
large debt than a larger one.

The Pennsyfsania Legislature.

The majority Tor Curtin for Governor in
Pennsylvania is now officially aseertained to
be about fifteen tEousand-four or five thou
sand ahead Of the rest of the Abolition Stale
ticket. But the State Legislature is, it seems,
IN q curious FIX. In the house of Representa-
tives there is a tie. In the Senate the Aboh
tionists have one majority. But this is eoun-
terbalanced by the fact that one of their Sen
ators, Major White, from the western portion
of the State, is a prisoner at Richmond, and
likely y remain there, owing to the dead lock
in the matter of exchanges. WITHOUT hum
the house will be lied. This vexes the Abo-
litionists exceedingly. and Governor Curtin is
reported TO have said that Major White must
be exchanged if it cos dozen rebel generals
to effect it.-Linaa argus

The New York Herald's Washington cores
pondent says that some 10000 or 5000 New
York soldiers, pledged to vote the Republican
ticket were last week furloughed, and were
of course at home attending the election yes
terday. The Democrats are allowed to remain
in the field while those men are sent hOue, and

A few DAYS ago, a man with u ministerial cut

wered to the euphouious name OF Rev. MIR.

Clevelaud, where, il Is repurted, he had been

religious purposes. In commencing buslutss

one of Wiikie Collins heroes, kept a diary LII

The Courier, having struck hands with
Greeley, when it thought the latter ready 10
recognize the South, with great flourish Of
trumpets parades Mr.. Conway, of Kansas,
before the astonished vision of his sneak par
ty. For his benefit the Courier will permit
US to state that Mr.. Conway has never been
leader in the Republican unconditional Union
party of this country. He has been an ex-
tremist on the slavery question. He was de-
feated in his desire for reelection to Con-
gress last fall. His speech ives delivered
some weeks since, and its sentiments created
great surprise among his associates, and were
promptly repudiated throughout the country.
What if it had been otherwise? 1t is only
an evidence of the fact we adhere to, that
-FOUR country is above our party" and that
there is an unconditional Union party in the
country, to which Mr.. F. Conway no more
belongs than does Sunset Cox or E. H.
Thayer. In the person of Mr.. Conway, we
recognize spirit of Toryism which we shall
upon all occasions deprecate. Because Mr..
Conway processes to be an expounder of Re-
publicanism, we are not to be swerved from
our plain duty. Our Republicanism is the
Constitution with all its guarantees-the
Union, one and indivisable, now and forever.
How stands the Auscatine Courier?
