Inherent Weakness Of the Radical
M Party.

The radical party appears to be strong
in its majorities, 1.-THE number OF its news
paper preesea and in the exercise OF pow
en-. But that it is weak by its own dlssen-
sions and corruptions, and that 1t is falling
10 pieces by the constant ruptures in its
ranks, il doubtless true. That this process
is Fastening upon the country and BRING
ing with it tho best hopes for the future
evidence may be found in the recent cleo
tions for United States senator in the ya-
ri,us states. Wei know what the cleo
ton was in Minnesota facetions
striies; the corrupt PRACTICES; the faith
lessness of adherents; the bad passions
and shameless prohiehcy, by which 1t was
marked.
Minnesota, however but furnishes an
illustration of what the radical senatorial
elections have been in all the states. There
was infamous rAscality in the Maine elec.
ton, and the result was reached by openly
buying Morfll's claim, with the promise OF
n fat Office under Grant The New York
election was decided by the measure Of the
most capncious trunk full of greenbacks.
The money consideration was the only one
that ruled, and Fenton having the biggest
pile Rt his command swept the board. In
Indiana the most Scandplousi corruptions
were exposed and formed the chief Gle
ment Of the canvass; and in Missouri and
Wisconsin the scene was but little more
creditable,
These Indications are not pleasant, but
they are hopeful symptoms., They are like
the slough from a sore, which isintolerably
rank and offensive, but shows that the dis
ease is brought to the surface, and that
there is hope for the patient, unless indeed,
the whole body is diseased and mass Of
putridity, and then, no cure is possible =

A Team Stolen, Sold and Returned by
the Thief.


From the Davenport qOYa) Gazette Jan 25,
One OF the most ingenions of swindles
was peIpetrated in this city last week, a
we'll known livery owner in this city being
the victim. And while the sharper was
cute in syindling; he was a greeny in the
art of escaping its consequences.
On Wednesday last resident of Ma
quoketa, jackson county, whoEe name has
not been given us, hired pair of handsome
small bay mares at the stable OF Smith d
King, in that place, and drove to Daven-
port with them. Here he was not slow in
creating the belief that he was the owner
Of the team, On Thursday he sold the
mares to Mr.. J. s. Smith, proprietor of
the stables on Commercial Alley. Here
the fellow displayed his sharpness, He
told Mr.. Smith that he had bet of $40
pending on his return of the team to Ma
quoketa---a party there having wagered
him $50 that he would return without the
horses. He asked Mr.. S. to send him
home with the team In company with a
driver. He could then claim the bet, and
get the money. Accordingly, Mr., L. A.
Pearce drove to Maauoketa With the fellow.
On the way Pearce was told to keep still
and never let on" about the sale, until he
was ready to start for Davenport. The
parties reached Maquoketa at midnight.
Pearce said nothing, but allowed the team
to be put out by the livery man.
The sharper went to his home, packed
up his clothes, went TO another stable,
hired rig and driver, and started for
De Witt where he took train for the East
In the morning, Pearce asked for his
horses, when, to his utter astonishment, he
ascertained that the fellow who had sold
the team never owned them ut all-they
were the property of Smith & King. Ateam
was furnished Pearce, however, and to Da-
venport he came, in company with King
as rapidly as fast-go could bring him and
revealed the state Of the case to Mr., Smith
There was little time for parleying, as the
sharper had fourteen hours and more the
start, but trail was struck which led to
parties who told Mr., Smith that the sharp
er had friend at jackson, Michigan
whom he would no doubt talry to see in
his fight to parts unknown. Pearce
took the Friday morning Eastern
train and put after the scamp. AT five
o'clock on Saturday evening he telegraphed
Mr.. Smith from Jackson that he had cap
tured his man, with the help Of conGtables,
had recovered the moNey paid for the
horses, and would arrive in Davenport
this Monday morning with his prisoner.
SO all's well that ends we'll In these
days OF telegraphs and railroads, the man
who plays the thief mustn't stop in bis
flight to visit Delilah's.
The arrested sharper has family in Ma
quoketa 1t is not improbable that he in
tended deserting them and taking up his
residence in Canada, They will probably
contrive to live without him for some time,
as it looks very much as though he now

4 Man Saved by a Dog Wonderful
Instinct.

As Mr.. Sylvester Scribner, of Salisbury,
n. H., was returning home from his work
in the woods: on the afternoon of the 31st
ult,, his attention was called to his dog,
which every two OF three minutes would
jdmp Oh to its hind feet, and intently look
away into the forest, would listen as if to
some sound, and then utter a low cry
The dog repeated this singular act several
times, until at last Mr.. Scribner stopped
his team, and listening, he heard confus-
ed soUnd-whether human or not, he could
not tell ....T
Leaving his team he started in the di-
reCtion of the sound, the dog cheerfully
preceding him, and often looking back
to learn if his master was following On
they went through the woods until Mr..
Scribner was satisfied that the sound came
from human being in distress. Hurrymg
toward it with all possible haste, his sur
prise may be imagined when, on suddenly
coming into low valley, he discovered
one Of his nearest neighbors, MIR. Robert
s. Batchelder, crushed under the trunk of
an ash tree, eighteen inches in diameter.
The poor man could hardly artculate.
One thigh was terribly broken, the bone
protruding and the wound bleeding. The
other leg was crossed over the broken one,
and badly bruised Other parts of his
body were also injured. In his despair
the poor man had worn hib fingers nearly
to the bone in vainly attempting to dig
into the frozen earth and thus ease his
suffering limbs. .rgl 7I a..a
MIR. Scribner went Immediately to work
to rescue the poor man, and after display
ing almost superhuman strength he at last
succeeded in getting AIr. Batchelder from
under the tree. He then went for his
team, and placing his noighbor on the sled
carried him to his home with all possible
dispatch. The distance was about two
miles, and on reaching it Mr.. Batchelder
was but just alive. Prompt remedies par
TALLY restored him, and he has since been
gaining, and there are hopes OF his final
recovery. He stated that in falling the tree
it lodged against another, and threw the
butt from the stump and struck him. 1t is
not probable that he could have lived an
hour longer bad he not been fortunately
discovered. He owes his life to both man
and dog. Mr.. Batchelder is one of the
most esteemed and substantial citizens 81

Lord LyttOn and Ernst.

Lord Lytton keeps to his friends the
novelists, TO good actors, musicians and ar
lists. There is said to be moro of thisBo-
ciety at Kuebworth, his beautiful seat, than
of any other. Among those who are often
seen in the picturesque rooms and grounds
was Ernst, tho violinist Those who saw
this wonderfully gifted man will not have
forgotten him, His thin figure, pale, vast
ed face, bright eyes and densely black hair
and the highly wrought expression of his
features when in the midst OF one of his
dificit pieces, are called to the mind by
the mere mention of his name III.
He was; like Aeine, his friend, q great
sufferer from paralysis of the spine. Lord
Lytton has written brief notice Of him,
speaking highly Of his conversational tai
ents and Of his exquisite taste. His violin
to him was living thing; he looked on it
az the sculptor Of old might have looked on
the statue to which he had given human
voice for the utterauce of human emotions
Whenever he moved from place to place
his wife undertook the parental charge of
that violin and never had suffering artist

upon herself every burden she could shift
from him. 1--WE travelled together" says
the author OF 'rhe Lady Of LyonF," f'by
slow stages from Nice to London, and
at each railway station where we
halted for day, and Ernst had to be
borne in the arms ofothers to the hotel, or
the carriage secured for him, still his eyes
wandered wistfully found in quest of the
violin to see it close behind him in the
arms Of its faithful guardian Ernst had
good store of anecdotes and related them
well. When intimate with Hene, the lat

day, walking with Ernst, Heine saw

The JAIL SYSTEM OF INDIA is an honor
to humanity and to the government which
spends 80 much money upon them. When
Lord Macaulay was sent out to compile a
criminal code fer India, one Of his first acts
was to write Minute on the necessity for
prison reform, That was 10 1886 In 1886
a committee, consisting Of the ablest men
in India, pronounced the jaila Of India gu
perior in many respects to those of Eng
land aud America, especially in the sepa-
ration OF debtors from criminals, in the
classification Of. sexes tried and untried
persons, and in the supply Of all needful
comforts. In 1854 Sir John Lawrence ap-
pointed another committee to suggest es-
pecially means for reducing Jail mortality.
An order went forth TINT every convict in
India should have 649 cubic feet OF space.
Large sums Of money have already been
spent on Jail buildings, and nearly mill.
ion dollars more is to be spent this year.
Every jail in Bengal is under the Central

TAXING AN EQUITABLE Vmw OF THE CASE.
"A few years ago one Mrs, Harrington "a
handsome widow Of aixteen) was tried for
tho murder of her husband, at the Della
ware oyer and terminer, before Judge
Balloon. For the purpose of establishing
her motive to poison her husband the dis
trict attorney proved that her husband was
thirty!six years Of age, and married her
when she WAS only fifteen years old, in
Pennsylvania, by falsely representing to
her that he was iich tanner OF Delaware
county, N. Y, when he was an intemper-
ate teamster there, and that he abused her
after he brought her TO Delaware county.
This evidence created the strongest kind
OF sympathy for her II became 80 strong
on the third day Of the trial that one
Moore met Judge Balcom as he was going
to dinner, and Moore, with tears in his
eyes besought him to take Rn equitable
view Of the case when be como to charge
the jury; whereupon Judge Balcom asked
him what he meant by an equitable view
Of the case, and Moore crying exclaimed:
''Tell tho jury the poor gil did not kill her
husband half as quick as abe ought to. +"
And IL 10 supposed tho jury took that view
OF the case when they acquitted her. -
