A boy named Walter Mclaughlin was
killed at Fort Wayne few days ago. He
was riding one mule and leading another,
having the halter attached to the latter
tied around his waist. The mule he was
leading pulled him on and before he could
be rescued, kicked his brains out and
mangled his body horribly. His mother,
a poor widow, was dependent on his labOrs.
The wife of Joshua Ewing, who resides
near Greensburg, eloped a few days ago
with a German, who, in addition to hav-

worthless fellow. The faithless wife leaves
kind and indulgent husband and the
pledges of mutual affection. There is in
deed no accounting for taste.

THE Cincinnati Gazette disposes of
Mr.. JOHNsoN's attempt to make out
that the execution of Mrs. SURRATT
was crime in W hich he had no hand,
thus summarily:
There is no doubt of Mrs. Sugratt's
guilt, among those who think the
conspiring to murder Lincoln crime ;
but if Mr.. j ohnson now undertakes to
makes out that her execution was
crime. he convicts himself; for he
alone ordered military court to try
her. He signed the, warrant for her
swift hanging, and he refused admis-
sion to daughter WHO came to beg
Communication of her mothers awful
sentence. And the country now
knows that ali this was the simulated
ferocity of defna gogue who thought
to conceal his joy at his elevation to
power through the murder of Lin
coin by show of terrible vengeance
on the instruments of his advance
ment.

8 On our second page we print this
morning the Vincennes Sgn and New
Albany Ledger's justification of the
prescription of negroes in Tennessee
because they voted the Radical ticket.
1t will be seen that those papers as
sert, that because the negroes /" knew
nothing more about the merits of
parties than SO many monkeys the
Conservatives are justifable in dis
charging them for not voting as the
Conservatives desired. 1t strikes us
that in voting against the Conserva-
tives, the negroes demonstrated that
they knew something about the mer-
its of the parties. We only desire,
however, just now to place on the
record the opinion of two of the
leading Democratic papers of this
State, that ignorance of the merits
of parties is a crime that merits
prescription and persecution. We
apprehend that the day is not far dis
tant when both the Sun and Ledger
will repudiate the sentiments they
now promulgate.

The MYSTERY OF CHoLERA-The
present manifestations of cholera in
this country do not tend to lessen the
absolute mystery of the disease. Its
grim secret seems past finding out. 1t
is raging in Central Kansas. and in
some parts of the Indian Territory,
with the same virulence that attends
its attacks on large and neglected
cities. One would think that the
primitive freshness of the earth and
sweetness of the air on the plains,
would expel the epidemic, or at least
lessen its deadliness. Out there no
sewers or foul streets and Sums breed
contagion; no vaults spread miasma !;
no bone boiling watts poison the air /;
no tenement houses uourish the pes
thence. The frontiers man breathes a
pure atmosphere, eats coarse, whole
some food, and takes abundant phys
ical exercise. The conditions Of his
daily life, according to popular theo-
rles, ought to render him proof against
cholera. But he dies of with it as
swift decline as a pale-faced child
bred In a crowded alley. About all
we know of cholera is that it is a cir
cumnavigator. and that it seems to be
ravaging the plains now because it
has got that fer on its dreadful Jour
ney back to the Orient.-,N. Joseph

" HAT HAPPENED TO AN IMPERTI-
NENT PUPPY. ten O clock this
morning well known grocer, whose
name we have been unable to obtain
was seen emerging from an alley on
the South street with pair of num-
Der nine boots in close proximity to
his coat tail. He was evidently in a
hurry. Itseems that he had become
enamored of the personal appear
ance of q respectable married lady,
residing on that street, and had in
timated to the servant girl that $50
would be no object to obtain an in
terview. In fact, he was ready to
squander that amount of currency
for the felicity Of a single hour in
her sweet presence. The PROPOSE
ton was made in this form by the
servant girl to her mistress, who, like
a true wife, told her husband Of the
insult and asked his advice. Tie
first impulse Of the enraged husband
was to wiring his neck, but upon re-
fection, he determined to set a trap
for the gentleman and warm his jack
st. BY his advice the wife assented
to an interview at the house, and ten
clock in the morning was named
as the blissful hour. Promptto the
minute the festive dealer in dande-
lion coffee, brooms and sich, made
his appearance disguised in clean
shirt; q broadcloth coat, and other
stunning paraphernaia. He was ev-
identity gotten up for the occasion.
He knocked timidly at the front
door, and was usheIed into the par
lor by the servant girl. He was not
kept long in suspense. The back
door opened. and in came the lady
with her husband Mr.. Grocer turn
ed very red in the face and grew
very pale The husband made no
apology. for an appearance in his
shirt sleeves, but proceeded to bust
ness, drew heavy raW-hide from his
vest pattern, and began to lay it on
in fearful earnest. The blows fell
thick and fast. Mr.. Dandeloin beg
ged piteously, but the irate husband
only sandpapered him the more
fiercely, and he was glad to escape
| by the back door with his life. He
went out the back gate and out the
alley as though he had been shot out
of a cannon.-LqJayet1e Ind. Coz

WORKING AND THINKING.-It is &
no less fatal error to despise labor
when regulated by intellect than to
value it for its own sake. We are
always, in these days, trying to sep
arate the two; we want one man al
ways thinking and another to be al
ways to be working, and we call one
gentleman and the other an oper-
ative; whereas the working man
ought always to be thinking and
the thinker often to be working !:
and both should be gentlemen in
the best sense. AS it is we make
both ungentle, the one envying, the
other despising his brother; and the
mess of society is made up of NOR
bid thinkers and miserable workers:
Now it is only by labor that thought
can be made healthy, and only by
thought that labor can be made
happy, and the two cannot be sepa
rated. There should be less of
pride felt in popularity Of employ
ment, and more in excellence OF
achievement
