with chills and fever for upwards OF two
years, and could get no relief tor more than
two weeks at n time, although she had en-
ployed some of the best physicians in the

A school Girl Voluntarily Enters
Upou m Life of shame.

A Young woman arrived ia Galena
ILL.,, a short time since. She occu-
pied rooms at one of the principal no
tells. She was young, beautiful and ac-
complished. Suspicious, however, were
entertained that everything was not
right, but nothing definite was known
until clergyman in that vicinity re-
ceived a letter from the principal of a
female seminary situated in that State.
The letter contained full and accurate
description of the young lady. 1t also
authorized the clergy man to use all the
means in his power to secure her safe
return. 1t appeared from the letter
that the lady had clandestinely run
away from the seminary about a month
previous.
The clergyman Immediately repaired
to the hotel, where he learned that the
young lady had been gone about three
days. Ho could gain no information in
regard to her whereabouts. A detective
was called in, who succeeded in tracing
the girl to a house of ill-fame, situated
a few miles from that place, in WiScon-
sin. The minister, accompanied by the
detective, waited upon the girl. She

advised to use every effort to persuade
the erring girl to return, but not to
allow the matter to go before the courts,
or be published in the newspapers, as
the girl belonged to one of the wealth
lest families in the State. While nego-
tiations were pending between the
minister and the principal of the sem
mary, the girl escaped TO Chicago, since
which time all trace of her has been
lost.

AChain of Singular Coincidenccs.

FROM inc hnO1NlIlo freSS ana heralu, ceO. ID
A singular chain of condolences in
connection with the brutal assault made
by some rutfians of Blount county upon
the Rev. Mr.. Neal, minister of the Cos
pei, of the Methodist Church South, last
year, and which was fully reported in
our columns, has just been communica-
ed to us.
1t will be remembered that while re-
turning from divine service he was set
upon bya gang of desperadoes, stripped,
tied to tree and brutally logged with
hickory switches, for no other offence
than his connection with what these
truly loyal Williams were pleased to
term rebel church.
The civil authorities being loyal,
sympathized with them rather than
with their innocent victim, and the
strong arm of the law was never invok-
ed against them. But a stronger pow
er than which administers human law
witnessed their crime and in the mys-
FERROUS dispensations of His Providence
has brought retribution upon them.
We learn that out of the entire num-
Der of rufiians, three have since died,
one was recently thrown from his horse
and received injuries which are believ-
ed to be mortal, while another is now
lying in Jail for crime.
Even the tree to which Mr.. Neal was
tied by his prosecutors has been smitten
by the same unseen, but ever watchful
power, and is dead.

The Advance i'm Sugar.

The revolution in Cuba and the abe
lition of slavery on that island are likely
to have an important effect upon this
country. Raw sugars have advanced
one cent per pound in this market since
Monday, and the present prices may be
regarded as fully two cents higher than
would be obtained had Cuba remained
tranquil. The advance in prices, with
prospect of q still further advance,
will undoubtedly greatly stimulate the
production of sugar in Louisiana, as
well as i'll other sugar-growing districts
of the earth; and we fortunately have
a liberal stock on hand for this stage OF
the season. Stocks of "sweets" in this
country are probably fully twice as
large as they were year age. The
rise comes early enough, also, to have
It's effects upon the production of maple
sugar and sorghum. The higher cost
willhkewise limit consumption. These
facts must ali be taken into the account
IN considering the future of the sugar
market.
With the increased home production
and the diminished importation which
appear to be in prospect, the Federal
treasury will lose largely from a com.
pound falling off in the duties ON i'm
ports; and it becomes practical ones.
ton of present interest, whether a
reduction In the tariff on sugar is not

prices the goods cannot be made to pay

there is feeling of distrust prevalent,
and the market throughout is dull for

steady. Spool cotton, it is thought, has

A New Jersey Love story-Denth Of
the Husband of n Dny-The Con
ductor and the SCHOOLGIRL

Our readers may remember bit of
horse-car romance that happened a
while ago to q conductor in Jersey City,
which, beginning in o delicious tirta-
ton with bread-and- butter schoolgirl
of "sweet sixteen" gradually rose,
through all the gradations of courtship,
to u settled engagement of the loving
pair, and final elopement and mar
riagc. 1t turned out, however, that the
girl had "sold" the conductor, who, for
his part, imagined that he had won a
splendid prize, and that the weary days
of his horse car drudgery were about to
terminate forever. 1t seems that the
girls head was full of yellow novels,
that she lived in the atmosphere of rum
away matches-of rich heiresses marry
ing incog. noblemen-and so she per-
suaded herself that she was an heiress,
and that her father was q Western mil
lionaire, who had doomed her to the
slavery of school life, when she ought
to be enacting yellow-literature dramas,
and be the heroine of a staining ro-
nance. The conductor was first
caught by her luxuriant looks, and
then by her racy yarns about her
fathers fabulous possessions IN the
growing West. And so the couple were
married, the conductor borrowing the
money wherewith to enslave them both
until one of them should die. The
young wife was sent by her husband"
to her aunt in New York, to whom she
blabbed the secret. Then the bright
side of the future history was turned,
and the dark side began to
show itself. The girls parents were
made acquainted with the fact that
their "Sal" had become wife, and they
hurried to New York and carried her off
with them to the West. The husband
went after her, and there learned that
his wife's parents lived in log house,
and that" pas chariot" was wheel
barrow, and his "'osses" an old goat
and COW. The conductor returned to
Jersey City "a wiser and sadder man."
Last evening as he was coming to the
city as a passenger on An Erie street
car, and when he had reached the inter
section of South Sixth and Erie streets,
and whilst he was spontaneously
talking with the driver on the front
platform, the horses gave sudden leap,
and he was hurled overheard and run
over and killed.-NetC York Sun.

report in opposition to the views OF the
minority on the omnibus railroad bill.
Mr.. Wilson introduced bill to re-
peal the act fixing the headquarters of
the General of the army at Washington,
requiring all orders of the President and
Secretary of War to DC issued by hin,
and in case of his inability by the next

not be released from command or as
signed to duty elsewhere, except at his
request, without the approval OF the
Senate, and that all contrary orders

mept, the bill amendatory of the act of
July 9th, 1868, relating to the location

Combs and sonp.

We notice that Congress has made an
appropriation of Sl400 for soap and
combs used in the past two years to
keep the Inembersin a clean and pre-
sentable condition. Many people, prob
ably, were not aware that il was part of
the contract of the people with their
Representatives to furnish them such
articles. They did not suppose that it
could come under either the per diem
allowance of $4,000 per year or mileage
for the passages TO and from the Capitol
city. There are about three hundred
Senators and members, so that each one
has received in soap and combs from the
Government the value of about four dol
lars and half. This is pretty liberal
allowance, but then it must be remem-
bered that it is an unclean body-that,
if all reports are correct, it would re-
quire a good deal of soap and washing
to have the members approach the leg
islative sanctum with clean hands. But
who would not be member of Congress
with large salary, with great mileage,
with poeket-combs, soap, pocket-knives,
scissors, paper of all kinds, lead pencils
and pens Of the finest character-all
furnished free-and in addition ones
letters and papers also free through the
postoffice I In addition to their combs
and soap each of the members will have
stationery enough to fit out q large
book store when he comes home.

B,oel. 10 the Senate.

Read the following, from the Chicago
Republican, bitter Radical sheet, while
hearing in miad the fact that the United
States Senate, before the advent of Radi-
calism, in character and ability stood
the foremost legislative body In the
world. Like the temple from which the
money changers were driven, the Radi-
cal leaders are fast making the nations
house den where vice reigns triumph
ant:
Immediately outside the left hand
entrance to the Senate, looking from
the Vice Presidents desk toward the
main doorway of the chamber, is an
elegant apartment. 1t is handsomely
gilded and frescoed; elegant carpets COW
er the floor, luxurious arm chairs and
lounges are numerous, and everything
invites to repose and quiet and abandon.
1t is the reception room Of the Senate,
1t is easy of access from the chamber.
This room is notoriously the greatest
designation place in Washington. At
any time during the session of the Sen
ate, the visitor may see there, in brazen
effrontery, known women of ill-fame.
They are attired IN costly fabrics, dia-
monds and lace, and the latest fashions.
Senators do not hesitate to come from
their seats and the work of legislation
at their bidding. The officers of the
Senate knew them, or if they do not,
they ought to; but instead of being de-
barred admission, they are allowed to
ply their vocation in the Capitol of the
nation. lido not say that all the ladies
who 90 there are of this character-but
do say that in the course of single
day more than a score of this class of
people are to be found in that room"
What, asks an exchange, must the
laws of a nation be that are made under
such influences and by men keeping
such company Did any one ever hear
of such charge as this being laid at
the doors of the Senators, while those
terrible and unredeemed sinners, the
Democrats, were in the ascendancy in
the Senatei
