r A Bold Telegraph swindIe.

IN d. lFrom the Detroit Free Press. Aug. 8.
u A bold and successful swindle, which is
not the first of a like character perpetrated
through Geographic orders for the trans
mission and delivery of money by express,
has Just been fully exposed. On the 23d of
June last, business firm in Toledo, who
are largely epgagedin the grain trade, re-
ceived what purported to be dispatch from
a correspondents named Wilson, at Jackson,
Michigan, stating that there was good
opening at Dexter for purchasing wheat,
andfrequested the Toledo firm to send him
$1,000, by American Express, and to notify
him by telegraph when the money was sent.
A package containing the amount re-
quired was accordingly placed in the ex-
press Office at Toledo. addressed to Mr..
Wilson, Dexter, and telegram also sent
to Wilson, notifying him of the fact. About
the same time the express agent at Dexter
received telegram from Jackson, signed
Wilson, directing him to deliver the pack
age to a man who would call for it, de-
scribing in the telegram minutely man
who afterwards called, asked for, and re-
ceivedthe $1,000 package. For week or
two the Toledo firm quietly awaited adj
vices from Wilson in reterenceto- his wheat
purchases, and in the meantime the parties
who had sent forged kilograms and trob-
tained the money, felt so jubiiant at their
success that they told confidential chumI
at jackson how they had operated. taeK
l. Inc TOLEDO nrm, ascertalnlng from cor
respondence with Mr.. Wilson, that he had
not ordered or received package of 81 l.O00,
applied to the express company, to trace
the matter up. The express company
through their detective, r. II. Best, of Buff
falo, and E. Fl. Raymour, of the North
western Detective Police Agency of this
this city, took the matter in hand, and
after ADMINISTRATION of the facts, arrested
a telegraph operator and two confederates.

The English Government and the
. hts rifA Indian Famine.

The English Government and the
hCe Era 70 Indian Famine.
The story of the Indian famine of last
year, which the English journals are now
raking up, is about as horrible as anything
in history. One million five hundred
thousand unhappy wretches perished of
Starvation Living skeletons crawled to
the waters edge to drink, and fell in from
sheer exhaustion. Cannibalism prevailed
in every variety. An idiot was discovered
dining off a dead mans body. Another
famine stricken native picked the corpse
of child out of the river, took it home
and boiled it for tiffin. Mother and son
were discovered feasting together on the
dead body of an infant. Children, in fact,
seem to have been the staple article of diet.
Il have known no instance (writes mis-
sionary from Balasore) of the Hindoos
eating dogs, or cats or cows; but
when they were dead" The effects of this
horrible famine are even yet felt. Orphan
age and destitution prevail over seventy
seven thousand square miles of territory,
and some millions of dollars must be eX-
pended to give even temporary relief. In
the face of these facts Sir Stafford North
cote, the Indian Secretary of State, recently
diverted at least seventy Thousand pounds
of the Indian revenue to entertain the Sui
tan. Hindoos may starve and rot, but the
Sultan must he feasted. So, as the Ministry
were unwilling to risk any of their scanty
popularity by asking Parliament fer a
special grant, the banquet to the Sultan
was paid for out of the Indian revenue,
and sum of money was thus squandered
that would have carried plenty into the
famine-stricken homes of Orissa. Hindoos
perished, but the Sultan dined.-N. Y.

Strange DIsclOsures-A sane Wo-
man Conf ued i'm the Utica

a man Conf aed i'm lhe Utica
cj Asylum. -U
IFrom the Albany Express, Augusta
Yesterday we made brief mention of
the case of a woman who is at present
confined in the lunatic asylum at Utica.
Her name is Zeh, and she is the wife of
James Zeh, we'll tO-do resident of the
town of Berne, in this county. She was
sent to the asylum about six weeks ago, at
the solicitation of her husband, and on the
certificate, of two country ply sicians, who
testified before Judge Clute that she was a
woman of 1unsound mind and not fit to be
allowed to remain at large. The follow
city, and visited Judge Clute in his
office. He was astonished at finding
her as rational as those who had
certified to her insanity. She protested
against being sent to- the Asylum, stating
that her husband only desired to get rid of
her for the purpose of becoming possessed
of property which she holds in her own
name Notwithstanding her pleading and
entreaties she was forwarded to the Utica
Asylum, where she still remains. A letter
has been received here from DR.. Gray, who
is in charge of the Asylum, setting forth
that he has been unable to discover any
evidence ofinsanity about Mrs. Zeh; that
she Is perfectly sane, and that he considers
it very strange she should be kept there
bY her friendss 1t may not be out of place
for us to give a, few additional facts in
connection With the case of this unfortunate
woman. She and her husband have not lived
happily together for some time past. She
alleges that she has been cruelty treated by
him, and been obliged to suffer great deal
inconsequenee of such treatment. He has
frequently beaten her, and the marks OF
violence are still on her person, She says
he was intimate with another woman who
lived within view of their residence
Whenever he visited this woman, both of
them would place themselves at the win
dow, expose their persons, and indulge in
other indecent acts for the purpose OF tor
fnenting his wife. And this was not all.
Mrs. Zeh had frequently been sent to the
eity by her husband to make purchases
He would give her counterfeit money, as
she believed, for the purpose of get
ting her into trouble. /, She always
had the bills examined, and, on discover
ing them to be counterfeit, would
return them to her husband On account
of the cruel treatment received, she sepao
rated from her husband last fall, and came
to this city with one of her children. She
remained here during the entire winter,
supporting herself and child by taking in
washing. . She also earned sufficient
amount to pay ten dollars per month for
the support of her youngest child, which
she had left with family in Berne. In
May she was persuaded by friends to re-
turn and live with her husband. She fiual-
ly, with great reluctance, consented to do
so. She was permitted to remain there
but short time before she was pronounced
insane, and now finds herself within the en-
closed walls of the State Lunatic Asylum.
We gather the above facts from reliable
source, and the case should be thoroughly
Investigated. Dor sV.a2 a.

At thelast meeting of. the Dayton Tur-
ner Society, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted: - ..-..a
= WHEREAS, The gloomy spirit of Puritan
ism is again making desperate efforts to
spread its doctrines of intolerance and
Conformity over the whole country, before
which all the innocent, social pleasures to
which we have been accustomed must be
interdicted to us, as though we were inca
pable of regulating our own behavior:
4icAnd, whereas, we must admit with grief
and shame that men of our own party have
passed temperance laws in the States OF
Maine, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and
New York, which are disgrace to civil
lied and enlightened people; trampling
under foot the most sacred personal rights
for we consider the inalienable right to
the pursuit of happiness also includes the
right of each one to regulate and control
his own stomach; and, although we abhOr
drunkenness as one of the greatest vices,
we vet believe the moderate use of liquors,
particularly malt and vinous, to be essen
tial to health and rational enjoyment, and,
in many instances, necessary. .'.,sa "a "a
THE purpose of Government is to govern
only so much as Is necessary for the peace
and welfare of the governed-leaving each
Individual in the free and full enjoyment
of his own will, except when it interferes
with the enjoyment OF the same right by
others. A majority has no more right to
nreserjbe what the people shall drink than
what they shall eat or wear. or what church
they shall. attend.
WHERE1ER, any of these things are done
the powers of government are prostituted
to improper purposes. We have gwen

and perished miserably in Southern. pris-

culiar institutions of one section of the
country from becoming national in order
to nationaIize the peculiar institutions of
another equally hateful. But we deem it
Just and proper that the rights of all Amer
lean citizens should be, protected. -
1Itis apparent that the enemies of our
social freedom are forging our chains in
our own State, which they will endeavor to
place on us the moment they feel them
selves strong enough to do so. Here, as

THE Times thinks that the Radicals who

other States where political campaigns are
in progress, "are making mistake in at
the purpose of reputation" To call false
