POLITICAL INTRIGUEs have ever been
o favorite speciality with Mr.. Chase. His
first prominent achievement in that line
was observed In Ohio in the winter OF
1878. A Senator was to be chosen by
Legislature in which.a handful of Free
Soilers held the balance of power in each
branch. Mr.. Chase, at that time prom
inent lawyer at Cincinnati and who had
been for years identified with the Liber-
ty and Free-Soil parties, betook himself
to the Capital, and there initiated and
successfully carried through an intrigue
by which the Free-Soilers and Demo
Gratis swept the field. In consideration
of electing Chase to the Senate, and OF
the repeal of the Black Laws of Ohio,
the Democracy were rewarded with all
the State offices In the Legislative gift.
The compact was fulfilled by both par
ties, and the Democracy, to obtain control
of the State, sent Chase to the Senate
and repealed the laws against the blacks
The success of this corrupt intrigue was
entirely due to the personal Efforts o.
Chase, who exhibited tenacity and
unscrupulous drectness purpose which
Ohio politicians can never foIget. 1t re
mains TO be seen whether his later In
trigue Will succeed so we'll.

THE Gazette copies our "dead wood"
article on the Wheeling township elec-
ton, and then says:
Here follow One Hundred and Eleven
names.
Now, we are informed that some of
those names were placed there without
authority-the names of men who voted
the Democratic ticket.
The fact Is that there are some honest
Republicans in that township who have
become disgusted with the outrage,
wrong and rascality of the Republican
organization, and intend to shun it in
the future, Just as they are doing all over
the country, and this is a mere attempt
to smoke them out for some foul and
unworthy purpose. But the day of scare
crow has gone by.
Every man knows If these charges were
true legal investigation would be re-
sorted to at once. Dare they do it? The
Trustees court 1t. t
| Now, the idea that such men as COM
pose the Board of Trustees of Wheeling
! township-among the very best men In
that township-would commit fraud at
spring election, is simply ridiculous
and shows the baseness of the men who
make the charge.
A Democratic editor don't need much
evidence on which to base declaration
"Now we are informed that some ol
those names were placed there without
authority--The names of men who voted
the Democratic ticket" Just please lei
your informant name one, we dare him
or you to name one. We will give you
the price of years subscription to the
Gazette for every man you can get te
deny that he signed his name to thai
list, or authorized it to be 80 signed. Dt
you mean to insinuate that those mel
or any of them are lying when they sa.
they voted the Union ticket? Ifyou d'
why don't you say SO?
We admit that 1t Is humiliatint
"ideasthat such men," should he guilty:o
committing fraud, and yet the evi
denee Is SO conclusive that there i
scarcely copperhead, even, in Belmon
County who is not fully convinced o
their guilt. If the District Court cal
be induced to hold its next session her
long enough, you will be satisfied In hav

TIDE moneuE m PARIS.

1t is not generally known that the name
Morgue is derived from tho second wicket, or
! inner gate, of theeGhatelet Prison, which was
called La Morgue. and where newly arrived
prisoners were detained for n few minutes, in

view of them (les saorgner leur aise) for the
purpose of Identification. subsequently,, all
dead and unclaimed bodies found in the streets
of Paris in the Seine were brought to this

1904 when special building called the Morgye
was erected. The establishment of the present

HEBREW MODE OF KILLING ANIMALs.-Rabbi
s. NJ. Isaac gives an interesting account of the
Hebrew mode of slaughtering animals for food
An official person, called sochet, or slayer, per-
forms this task in every slaughter-house, and
must be n man of sterling moral character, well
versed in the-Jewish law especially applicable
to his official duty, to killing the animal and
examining it after death, to ascertain that it is
sound. Before he is licensed, he must be
amined before a board constituted for that pur-
pose, in his knowledge of the laws and regnia-
tions, and in sharpening his knife, which must
ness of edge. The OK is thus killed: Tho hind
legs are tied, two men hold the head, the sochet
draws his knife forward across the throat and
withdraws it, the blood flows freely, and the
animal is dead. Great care is taken to prevent
the animal from seeing the weapon beforehand,
and the rabbi is opinion that death by the pc
culiar knife used is instantaneous. He denies
that there is any dslocation. or torture by sus-
pension and does not believe that there is any
valid reason on the ground of humanity for
rendering the animal insensble by. stunning.

A TERRIBLE STORY OF srARvAfIoN.--Ap in
quest has been held in Oxford respecting the
death of Il woman named Harris, aged sixty
four years. Tho deceased was the wife of a
railway contractor, and had-bee in atfiuent
but<at her husbands death she
was left pen1riless. Some time ago she was per-
suaded by the Sisters of Mercy to enter the
workhouse.( She went and stayed for time,
but feeling life to be irksome there she left and
returned to the miserable room she had rented
in dark court near the County Goal. Nobody
knew exactly how she managed to live, but she
appeared to depend entirely upon what she
could pick up in the streets. On Christmas day
she was pinched by poverty that, despite the
bitter cold, she sold two petticoats for e penny
bread. Aday or two after a neighbor entering
the room found the poor old woman on the bare
floor, naked, without any fire, clinging to an
old broken backed, rickety chair, and gnawing
her arms in the agony of hunger and death.
When the jury went to view the body it was
found still on the floor; the dress upon it con-
sisted of stocking on one foot only, and a
dirty rag which was tied around the neck.
bit of sacking had been thrown over the body
for the sake Of decency. The old rickety chair
to which she had clung in her death agony was
the only piece of furniture in the room-London

SOUND Observation-Disclosures we receive
from the hand of God should be disposed
in snch q manner as to show our strict
responsibility to Him. Nothing from such
a source should be disposed of lightly.
Time, money, ETC., everything ought to
carry it's own responsibility. Have we a
right, then, to indulge in games of chance,
luxury, etc, with what can be more appro-
priately applied9 Carrying this idea far
ther, ii deep thinker says:
Spend your~time in nothing which you know
must be repented of. Spend it in nothing, be
it work or recreation, in which you might not
pray for tho blessing of God. Spend it in
| nothing which you could not review with a
quiet conscience on your dying bed.

We have, but few words to add, dear brethren,
to the sad and solemn language of the Head of
the Church. The days are ecit To the tempo
raj &alamities that beset us especially, there is
our Catholic brethren.
Around we see but ruin, misery, desola-
tion and the scourges wherewith God has for
several years, Increasingly stricken u.s. are we'll
calculated to terrify the boldest- hearts, and
humble themlunder the pressure of that heavy
hand which weighs upon us so justly. But at the
same time we have before our eyes the painful
spectacle Of many brethren prosecuted on ac-
count of their attachment to religion. We be-
hold impious governments, fanatic men, who
have sworn implacable hatred toward all that
is pure and holy, assail in their blind rage the
Church of Jesus Christ, storm furiously against
the Chair of Peter, and brdtally threaten the
august POntif, whom we venerate as the repre-
sentative of God, and dearly love as our father.
Shall not SO many and SO manifold calamities
EQfice 20 induce you to return to God, and to
Charm by penance His Justice SO wautonly and
cu1pably provokedf Shall we wait until God
infict chastisements still more DREADFUL All !!
dear brethren, it is surely time to put a stop to
that Aextxeyagant display which pitilessly
Tn6cks the misery that reigns on all sides; it is
time to .renonnce those unbridled pleasures
which enervate the soul and dry up the heart.
But if they, whom the delusions of the world
have blinded, will seek by vain delights and
diversions, to become insensible to the evils
but too real which threaten and overwhelm them
already, let us, at least, who are alive to faith
and the fear of the Lord, and DESTROYS to sane
AVN
Reconsideration, let us avail ourselves of this
holy season of Lent to produce r0rthy fruits of
peeance; let us return sincerely to the God of
all power and all holiness, who is terrible in
His Justice against such as are hardened in ini
putty, but rick in mercy toward the sinner who
repents and reforms. Let hearken to the
exhortations and follow the examples of the
venerated Pontif, whose voice you have just
heard, who bows down before God in fervent
and continual duplication, and derives from
prayer, not a vain and unreal courage, but that
inyincible fortitude which comes from on high,
and that profound calm which abides in him
who puts all his confidence in God, and strives
to serve Him faithfully.
Therefore, having invoked the Holy Name of
God, and advised with Council we pre-
scribe and enjoin what follows:
l. According to the tenor.of the Encyelcal
letter dated 18th October, 1867, there shall
in every church of this city and diocese a Ili-
dun, of public prayer to be offered agreeably
to the intentions expressed by the sovereign

Commissioner Wilson, of the General Land
Office. has addressed circular TO all land Off
GERS setting forth that extensive tracts once
designated on the maps as deserts are now
found to be fertile and filled with thriving
agricultural populations, and that vast mineral
wealth has been wasted owing to the ignorance
of miners of the value of the refuse they were
throwing away. AS an instance of this. the
great COmstock lode was at first worked for
its small proportion Of gold, until scientific
miner examining its refuse found it to contain
$4,000 in silver to the tun. He suggests the
necessity of forwarding to Washington, for q
national cabinet, every attainable specimen Of
the minerals and products of the new Terri
tories, so that they may come under tho eye
