DeIoss G.. Terry, school examiner in
Vermillion County, Indiana, has YAM
osed from that region with about 81, 900
belonging to other parties. He left un-
paid a subscription of 81 to the county
paper, which takes out that amount by
calling the fugitive "a grim-looking,
Christian-personifying, nuisance-per-
sonfied sca1awag-a good-for-nOthing
lousy, insignificant, pusilIanimous,
white-livered, onery, low lived, dirty,
trifiing, whisky-b1oated Christian in
sleeps clothing. We denounce him
as fiend, thief, renegade, an i'm
postor of the deepest dye, a purified
mass of human flesh, only fit to enjoy
the regions of the damned below and
hope we may never hear him utter an
other word out of his dirty, filthy
mouth, or ever see those turnip-Iook-
ing eyes of his again.

The most remarkable events in the
career of any menagerie occurred in
Forest, Mississippi, last week, during
morning exhibition of ''Reynold's
Great Mexican Gymnasium and Me-
nagerie." The huge elephant Her
cules, which had been peevish and un-
ruly for several days, became frantic
when rustic foisted on him piece of
tobacco. The elephant broke his chain
after some violent struggles, during
which the large crowd fed in the
widest haste. The ponderoUs beast
attacked a freight train that was swift
ly approaching, striking it with such
force that he broke a tusk, was over
set and Instantly killed. The locomo-
tive was thrown off the track, ran into
the canvass tent erected beside the
road, butted into the lions cage, kill
ing the lioness and freeing her mate.
The latter took to flight, out of town,
soaring the plodding country folks
nigh unto death, upsetting horses and
wagons, smashing chicken coops into
flinders, and otherwise violating rural
etiquette. At last advices, twenty
mounted horsemen, with guns and
dogs, were in wary pursuit ofthe royal
quadruped.

Mr.. Hill, Democratic member of the

the statement in the course of a dis
cussiOn last week, that Alexander II.
Stephens was a better patriot while
serving as Vice President Of the Con-
federacy, than was Benjamin F. Wade,
while at the same time serving his
country in the Senate of the United
States. Mr.. Hil1 desired to be under

as meaning what he said. A like trea-
sonable declaration was made by Chris
Hughes, member from Butler County,
a few days ago, who said that John G.
Breckinridge was no more of a traitor
than George Washington, and that, for
one, he would be glad to extend to him

honest to conceal their sentiments.

The high water following the rains

WOMEN AS POsTMAsTERs.--Pr President
Grant recently sent in to the Senate
the names of Elizabeth Van Lew to
be postmaster at Richmond, Virginia;
Eliza F. Evans to be postmaster at
Ravenna, Ohio, and Emily J. G. Bush
nell to be postmaster at Sterling, in
Illinois.
1t is not new thing under the sun
that woman should be made post
master; in England many of the
country offices are in charge of women;
in this country several Presidents have
appointed women to such places and
certainly no one can object to the ap-
pointment of Elizabeth Van Lew,
which is Gin acknowledgment of i'm
portant services to the Union army
during the rebellion" A woman who
was able to render important SER
vices" to her country during the war,
is doubtless able to manage apostoffice.

The alabama claims promise to be

tolerably so. They are discussed much
more vigorously, somehow, by the
English papers than by the American
and with apparently much more anx-
1ety. This is natural, for England has

But besides this England gets into
three wars for our one; and in her next
little affair with Abyssinia or India or

Mr.. Johnson gave this entirely new
and original narration of rise through
successive offices, in his speech at his
reception at Greenvi1le:
I have never been ashamed of my
merit and worth that makes the man.
In early life was elected Aldermen
then Mayor; then to the Legislature ;
then to the State Senate; then an cleo
tor for President and Vice President.
I was then in Congress for several
years. After which was elected to
the United States Senate, and was there
when the war broke out, was then
elected Vice President of these United
States, and upon the death of Mr.. Lin
coin, became by an inscrutable Prov
idence, President of this great nation.

The circumstance that Napoleon has

for an explanation of the mobilization
of troops in the Rhenish Provinces,
and has also ordered all troops and
officers on leave of absence to duty,
looks little ominous, and as though

case the explanation of Prussia should
not be satisfactory. France has been

A tremendous storm of wind and
flood scourged the Western shore of
France in the first week of March, at
the same time that the terrible Allan
tic coast gale destroyed SO much of life
and labor in our fishing fleets. Houses
were swept away, cattle drowned,
trees uprooted, the hopes of harvest
blasted, the labor of thirty years anni-
hilated by the inundation of the rivers

Gironde, which cost 2, 900, 600 francs, was
broken by the winds and part of it fell

The following are the words in which
Count Bismarck proposed General
GRANTS health on the 4th of March:
''Permit me, gentlemen, to interrupt
your conversation a moment, while l
say a word about the occasion which
has brought us together. This is the
day upon which, on the other side of
the Atlantic, the victorious commander
in the service of the United States, en-
ters on his Office as President. That
event, inasmuch as it deeply interests
the United States, has special claim
on the sympathetic interests of this
country, for it was a King of Prussia,
Frederick II, who, at the birth of the
great American Republic, was the first
among the -belligerents to recognize
its independence. AS to our subse-
.quent relations with the United States,
it gives me the greatest pleasure to be
able to state as fact, not only from my
personal experience as a Minister of
Prussia, but from the archives of our
history, that the cordial understanding
inaugurated by Washington and Fred
erick has never suffered the slightest
alteration. Not only has no difficulty
ever arisen between the countries -
nothing has ever occurred betweeen
them which so much as called for an
explanation. It is then to me q most
agreeable, as well as an appropriate
duty, to call ON you to unite with me in
drinking, in German wine, the health
OF the President of the United States,
General Grant"

Mr.. Dilworth, a Democrat, has in
troduced In the Ohio House a bill to
repeal the Students Voting Law. The
repeal would leave us withoutany law
whatever prescribing the conditions of
residence of voters. What is needed is
an amendment Of the present law
which win take out Of it its odious
provisions specially applied to stu
dents, and this is precisely what the
bin introduced by the writer, early in
the sessions proposes to accomplish.
It remains TO be seen whether the
Democraey VIII pass it, or whether
they viii continue to brand education

The Duke of Montpensier, who, the
Gable says, is to be King of Spain, is
fifth son OF Louis Philippe, formerly
King of the French. He was born at
NeuiIly, near Paris, In 1924. His cum
ming father married him in 1845 to the
Spanish Princess Louisa, the sister of
Queen Isabella II, and at the same time
brought about the Queens marriage to
her imbecile cousin, Francis. of Assist.
Louis Philippe supposed that this was
childless marriage, and that the
children of the Duke of Montpensier
would accordingly inherit the Spanish
throne. His calculation has proved er-
roneous in every way. He himself
died in exile, and for more than twen-
tY years none OF his family have seen
their native country. Isabella ii has a
number of children, and yet the old
Kings principal end Will be essentially
gained when Montpensier himself puts
on the Crown of Spain, with Il reasona-
bic chance, as things go, of transmit
ting it to his posterlty. The new King
