The Davenport, Iowa, Gazette says:
Our readers will recollect a telegraph
item which appeared on the 18th ult., con-
corning tagedy that was enacted in Ma
plervllle, ILL.,, the previous night. One
Chauncey Bailey, residing in the village,
killed man named James Laird, whom

man Bailey, who thus killed libertine, is
himself an adept in the art Of destroying
the peace of househo DIS, aud mad but just
fled from shameless liason in this state,
when he killed his wlfes paramount.
The citizens of Marengo, Iowa county
know Bailey well. He went there some
time in November last tor the purpose of
working at carpentering, we believe, 10 a
new school house at that place, leaving his
wife and family at Napierville. He OBJ

Death of James T. Brady.

JAMES I. BRADY, the eminent New
York lawyer, died in that city on the 9th
inst, of paralysis. All the courts adjourn
ed on that day in respect to his memory.
He was buried on the 18th inst. Hardly
any other member OF the legal fraternity in
this country had SO wide reputation
His prominence as an advocate was great,
and ne undoubtedly would have gained at
least equal political eminence but for his
unfortunate cratic course in the latter re-
spect.
Mr. BRADY's social habits were such as
to make him many and warm friends. He
was prominent and liberal patron of art
and the drama. His associates were
largely among the literati of the metropo-
lis. An impulsive Irishman, he combined
in himself all the genial, convivial and or
atorical attributes of his race. Personally
no man was more attractive. He had, In
an eminent degree, that magnetic individ-
ualism which allured all with whom he
came into contact, His wit was happy and
contagious. For the better years of his life
an earnest democrat, he never held an of :
flee at the hands of his party, and we do
not know that he ever sough. one. He
could have filled with honor almost any po-
sition to which be might have been called
by a nation who can now only lament his
death.
Mr.. BRADY was born in New York city,
of Irish parents, in 1915, and was conse-
quently bat fifty four years Of age at the
time of decease.

CHEESE Hon. HoRATIo SEYMOUR late
candidate for the first office in the United
States, has recently been elected President
Of the American Dairymen's Association,
and short time ago delivered an address
upon the subject of cheese. Mr.. SEYMOUR
asserted that cheese ought to be more
generally used for food in this country.
The American people have lost the cheese
eating pTopensities Of their forefathers.
Cheese is the cheapest of all articles of
food that can be used. Compared with
meat, there are very important economies
connected with it. 1t requires no fuel to
prepare it. 1t is more nutritious, and we
must look upon it as substantial article Of
food. 1t is not cheap luxury, it is a
cheap necessity" He hoped steps would
be taken to present cheese as an article of
common food to the favorable considera-
ton OF the poor people Of our cities. The
attention Of our Government should be
called to the value Of cheese as food for
soldiers rations. No article is so nutriti-
Gus, no article so easy of transportation.

A Plain Question.

The Washington correspondence of the
Cincinnati Enquirer puts this plain prop
osition before the people:
1t takes very little natural genius or ac-
quired knowledge to understand that as the
debt now stands it draws about two hundred
millions of gold annually from the treasury te
pay the interest on it that gold before it can
be paid out by the treasurer, must first be paid
in by the people that it is paid in by an enor.
nous tariff which doubles the price Of every
article of commerce.
Add to this couple of hundred millions
for government expenses, drawn from the
pockets of the people in the same way. and
the producers Of the country can see what
they have before them.

for those who have not succeeded OF earth;
and it is surely true that celestial graces do
not best thrive and bloom in the hot blaze
of worldly prosperity. Ill success sometimes
arises from a superabundance Of qualities

Mr.. Stewards San Domingo Annexa>
ton Scheme

1t has become cerain that Mr.. Seward is
using all the influence Of his department to
further his scheme for the annexation of
San Domingo lie has been for some
rIme carrying on a correspondence with
certain official of that country. The letters
received from there have not been made
public, and wonderful reticence is observed
by all who have been permitted to exam
Inc them. 1t is learned, however, from
authentic sources, that they represent the
whole government Of San Domingo favo>
rabe to the annexation project, and that
an immense majority Of the people (these
are the words used) are with their authori.
ties on this point. Official reports show
that the debt Of the republic consists of
about one hundred thousand dollars in
bonds, which are receivable for customs
and duties, and rather less than four hun
dred Thousand more in circulating scrip,
now worth but sixty cents to the dollar,
making an aggregate debt of half a mil>
lion dollars, which, in the event of annex
alton, this government will have to assume
and this is said to be the whole incum-
brance. The people are reported as favor
able to anneXtl0n, because they regard it
as the only relief from their social and po-
litical troubles, and believe that internal
peace and prosperity will follow with alb
sorption into the United States. 1t is rep
resented that they are enthusiastic on Il e
subj eel, and hints are thrown out that they
may raise the United States flag without
waiting for the action of our government
The prospect for annexation, though defeat
ed last Monday, will probably be brought
before the House again next week, in such
shape as will allow OF no debate, and its
supporters express confidence in it's uti-
mate adoption. The idea of the Dominic
ans in case it carries is to choose a conven-
ton of deputies or delegates to pass upon
the question, and the documents at the
State Department assert that this body
would ratify The action of our congress by
a large majority
