Long John Wentworth.

At the reception of southern LoyaIists"
Monday at Chicago, that leading Radical,
John Wentworth, made an exhibition of
himself. The Post (Radical) says:
1.-The only disgraceful circumstance that
occurred was the appearance of the Hon.
John Wentworth in a highly inebriated
condition, in the reception room of the
hotel, which was at the time filed with
ladies and gentlemen. The Hon. gentle
man was unmistakably intoxicated. Being
so. he was perhaps not wholly responsible
for the language he addressed to those
present. He was singularly blasphemous
in his address, and obstreperous In his man
ner. He excited much astonishment and
even horror. Ladies blushed through
shame. Gentlemen got red in the face with
Indignation. At last the Hon. gentleman
received polite hint that he was in i'm
minent danger of being kicked in most
ignominious manner out of doors. He be-
came meek, blundered forth an apology,
and went, in cork screw fashion, out Of
the room. When he had made his exit he
saw the crowd before him. He concluded
that they must want to hear from him. He
stood up and told them he had been sent to
entertain them. Anything 'sh good
'nough for crowds said John, and will
entertain you. There's the con-cOnshu-
shion, the g-g-glOrious conshushiOn gem
tlemen. l want you to understand that,
hic, hiccuds, the cOnsisb-sish-sisb is
the consishushion, and / defy anybody to
conredick me-hic.' There was tremen-
dous laughter for time, but at last the
insulted multitude ordered him to be taken
away, and with feeble attempt at be-
nignant smile the Hon. gentleman suffered
himself to be led of" " W

The Editor.

The following beautiful extract is from
the pen Of the printeT-poet, Benz. F. Tay-
lOr:
'sThe realm of the press is enchanted
ground. Sometimes the editor has the
happiness of knowing that he has defend-
ed the right, exposed the wrong, protected
the weaki that he has given Inference to a
sentiment that has cheered somebody's
hour, made somebody happier, kindled a
smile upon sad face or hope on heavy
heart. 'tH H
''He may meet with that sentiment many
years after, it may have lost all charms OF
its paternity, but he feels affection for it.
He welcomes 1t as long absent child. He
reads it as for the first time, and wonders
if, indeed he wrote it, for he has changed
since then. Perhaps he could not give ut
terence to the sentiment now--perhaps he
would not if he could.
sit seems like the voice of his former
self calling to his parents and there is some-
thing mOurnful in his tone. He begins to
think--to remember why he wrote 1t, who
were his readers then, and bow much he
has changed. Sohe muses., until he finds
himself wondering II that thought will
continue to float after he is dead, and
whether he is really looking upon some
thing that will survive him. And then
comes the sweet consciousness that there is
nothing in the sentence that he could wish
unwritten. That is better part of him
a shred from the garment of immortality
he shall leave behind him when he joins
the ''innumerable caravan" and takes his
ID lace in the silent halls of DEATH"

YIctorIa,u Five Dnughteru.

Queen Victoria has five daughters. The
Oldest is the wife of the Grown Prince of
Prussia. She is destined to become the fu-
ture Queen of Prussia. The second, Alice,
8 the wife of the Prince of Hesse-Darms-
tadt, whose principality has been lately alb
sorbed by Prussia. The third, Helena, be-
came recently the wife of the Prince of
Teck, who is u Prince without principal
ity. Two remain nmarried-Louise, who
is in her eighteenth year, and Beatrice,
who Is In her ninth. What is to be done
with Louise, now that most of the Protest
ant German Princes have been Ousted
from their petty thrones by Prussia
There Is only one Protestant Prince now
available for royal eoujugal purposes, and
he Is the brother of the Princess of Wales,
King George of Greece. Mr.. Gladstone is,
consequently, to proceed to Athens to en-
ter upon this delicate negotiation. Her
proposed husband is mere youth, who
dances we'll, and is fond of good cigars, and
is tolerably good looking. He might make
an admirable clerk. in a millinery store,
but is altogether out of his place as the
chief of the spirited Greek nation.

A Loyal Negro.

The Rev. Peter Goode, an old negro
preacher of Montgomery, Ala, was urged
to be delegate to the Black-and-tan Con-
vention at Philadelphia, and walk arm-in-
arm to Radical glory with Brownlow,
Fred. Douglass, Schenck, Anna Dickinson
and those other eminents of that odorOus
occasion. The old African responds, In a
pretty steep letter to che Advertiser, in
which he says: gio .s,a
II have been a slave and have tried to do
nv duty, and what little kno wledge have
picked up has never been used except for
the benefit of my friends and country. My
head now shows the frosts Of seventy win
ters. MY days on earth are now drawing
70 close, and cannot at this late day
lend nv name and whatever influence l
may possess TO a movement l think SO low
and degraded" Ns

The Rain Yesterdav.

After two weeks of fine weather without
rama remarkable phenomenon for this
season-the water commenced falling from
the clouds after the usual fashion, at about
four o'clock yesterday morning. 1t con-
tinued to rain violently for an hour or two,
and then slackened up. But at about IL
O'Clock another shower Of about two hours
iu length brought the rain down In tor
rents. Sewers and cutters overhowed, and
in many places 1t was quite impossible for
pedestrians to cross the streets without
wading knee-deep through ioamlng catar-
acts of water. But, Notwithstanding the
rain storm and the consequent flooded
streets, the voters, as will be seen by the
election returns in this paper, generally
turned out in full force.

That year, moreover, has been crowned

tions of loyalty and patriotism have been
widely renewed. Our fields have yielded
quite abuudantly, our mining industry has
been richly rewarded, and we have peen
allowed to extend our railroad system far

Dan Rice's Elephant on a Bender.

The big elephant attached to Dan Rice's
circus, that exhibited at Utica last Satur-
day, concluded to go on raid last night.
His keeper had confined him in the tent on
the commons, back of the reservoir, for
the night. and then, thinking his charge
would behave, went to his hotel. In the
middle of the night the police at the sta
tion-house were aroused by man rushing
in soexcited that he could hardly speak.
He declared that the wild beasts had bro
ken loose, and that, headed by the ele-
phant, they made an attack on Corn Hill /;
and that the citizens of that locality were
fleeing wildly Tor their lives, and that he
had barely escaped to tell the tale!
The driver of his elaphantship was
aroused, and on proceeding to the scene of
action, the elephant was found in a garden,
corner of Steuben and Eagle streets, quiet
ly munching cabbages, turnips, and other
''garden sass" Someby who watched his
motions says fences were no protection at
all. He would quietly pick up a length of
fence and lay it one side, and then 'lay
into" the coveted cabbages! In a short
time the contents Of the gardens bad been
disposed of, and he was looking about for
more provisions, when the keeper arrived
and relieved the anxiety of the inhabitants
of that lOcality.-Utica Observer, Oct. 25th.

EnrthquaIxe i'm France.

On the morning of the 18th September, a
severe shock of earthquake was felt in Paris
and its neighborhoOd, especially in the
direction of Versailles, in which town per-
sons say that when awakened by the mo-
tion they heard cracking of the walls and
floors, and the first shock was followed by
several others. At Boulogne and Anteuil
beds were shaken and glasses standing near
one another on tables and shelves were
heard ringing. at Creteil, Montretout,
Vile d'Avray, and Haut Sevres, similar
phenomenas were observed. At Tours
nearly all the inhabitants were reused from
sleep. 4 correspondent there writes that
he was rocked on his bed like child in q
cradle. At one of the principal hotels of
the town cornice was thrown down, and
at one of the cafes all the beer in the cellar
was thickened. At Limoges strongly
pronounced vibratory movement from east
to south was felt for three seconds. Similar
accounts are received from Rouen, Nantes,
Angers and Angouleme. The shock lasted
about six seconds, and was accompanied by
a dull heavy sound. The barometer fell six
mfllimetres. tH

The result of yesterdays Tuesdays
election In Ohio is decidedly in favor of
the Radicals. Everywhere, as far as
heard from, they made gains on last
falls election. There may be a few
places where the democrats made gains
on last falls election; but they seem 10
be few indeed. Radicalism is certainly
indorsed fully. Whether this indorse-

The EIection in the city.

The election in the city passed off quietly
and in good order. We have heard of no
serious or riotous disturbance anywhere.
Some excitement was created in several
wards by attempts of the RAIDS. to run in
negro votes beyond even the limit pre-
scribed by the saddle-colored decision of
the Supreme Court.
There was largely increased aggregate
vote, over that of any former election, cast
in the wards generally, But for that and

The Democracy and Conservatives ofthe
City of Columbus did glorious work on
Tuesday. They polled larger majority
than the commanding majority they polled
last fall. The Capital City is sound to, the
core. Its political atmosphere is decidedly
healthy. The Democracy thereof can con-
gratulate themselves that while other sec
tions have allowed Radicalism to gather
strength and increased majorities, In Co
lumbus it was not able even to hold its
own.

To Preserve Eggs.

The best method know of to preserve
eggs, says a correspondent IAN exchange,
is to fill the pores Of the shell with fresh
clean lard, 80 as to exclude all air. 1t Is
my opinion that this simple and easy meth
Cd is preferable to any now In use. Some
put them la limewater, some lay them down
In salt, some put them in sawdust. But the
lime cooks them, 50 they have a dried ap-
pearance; salt has similar eifect-while
qs saturated with lard, as far as my ex-
Nce goes, open fresh and nice.

HOrribIe-AN Mother Kills her Four
ChlIdren-The NIurderess Conn
Imtus Suicide.

A crime, almost too horrible to relate,
was perpetrated at Morenci, Michigan,
Wednesday forenoon, about 10 o'clock. A
Mrs. Simms, the wife of a farmer in that
vicinity, murdered her four children by
cutting their throats. In the morning the
woman prepared breakfast for the family,
as usual, and nothing was discovered 10 her
conduct to excite suspicion. After break
fast Mr.. Simms made preparations for leav-
ing home for portion of the day and start
ed of, little thinking of the dreadful scene
that was shortly to take place at home,
which would not only envelope himself in
gloom, but cast sadness over the entire
community. He had been gone but short
tine when Mrs. s., taking her four children
all little girls-went to the barn, entered,
and after locking the door cut the throats of
each child and then destroyed herself in
the same manner.
One child, with ghastly wound in the
neck and bleeding profuselY, succeeded in
dragging herself to the house and informed
a servant, who at oDce started after Mr.. s.,
and overtaking him before he reached his
destination, informed him of the dreadful
tragedy that had taken place.
Mr.. Simms is the owner Of splendid
farm, his home was pleasant, and no cause
but that Of insanity can be assigned for the
conduct of bis wife. This dreadful affair
created intense excitement at Morenci.-
