who has been a life long Wing,
should have felt drawn towards the
great Head.ccntre Of Radicalism

Of all color, foreigners as well as

old Wings coming to his side to
help him to build up n Radical

LAWRENCE, Mass, January 10.
The most outrageous case Of in
cest that, perhaps, ever occurred
ia this Commonwealth came to
light this forenoon on on .examin-
alton of the male culprit IN the
Police Court. The accused, Sam.
uel Hopping, a young English
man, was accused of the crime of
incest with his sister. He ~ rath-
er short Of twenty years old, and
his sister over seventeen. He
was married last November to q
young Englishwoman named Nc.
Callum, and about ten days ago
his sister Salina gave birth to q
child, of which she declared her
brother Samuel was the father.
Hopping's wife discovered the
fact on going to the house of his
sister one evening, and on her re-
turn home she told her father OF
it, who was so inccnsed agains
Hopping that he gave him a broad
hint TO leave town for distant
parts forever, or suffer the conse-
quenccs Of his outrageous crime
He did go, but went no farther
than Manchester, N. H., and then
returned a few days after. On
tuesday morning his wife received
q note from him requesting her to
meet him IN q certain grove in the
outskirts Of this city near the
Merrimnc, which note fell into the
hands Of her father, who made the
facts known to the police, and
City Marshal Shepard repaired TO
the spot and found the wretch on

The term of "humbug' as APP

cause 1t uses the name ofthe ''Or-

dear to every citizen of the State,
The use Of this name causes many
persons from motives of charity
to take tickets in this lottery, who
would not otherwise do so. This
the managers of the scheme know
full well. An act was passed BY
a Legislature held since the war.
which chartered the company.

thousand dollars should he paid Ia

According 10 DR.. Die Lewis,
the habit of chewing tobacco is
very easily got rid Of. The first
day q person would get along
very well, and would hardly miss
the stimulant. The second day
the mouth would be dry, the throat
parched, the memory confused,
and the person would hardly know
what to do because Of q restless.
ness and a strong craving for
something. Go then and take a
good sweat, or, what was better,
a Turkish bath. The third and
fourth day do the same. By that
time all desire for tobacco would
be gone.

A PRoJEcr N WASHINGTON TO
CHANGE THE GAUGE OF RAILROADS
All persons who have given
attention to the subject of Rail
roads regards it as very desirable
that there should be q uniform
gauge throughout the United
States. The following plan is un.
der consideration by railroad men
and various members of Cungress.
! Five. sixtlls Of the roads already
have the same gauge-say four
feet eight and 4 half inches. To
bring the other sixth to this, as
the easiest plan, tits proposed that
after a given day no road shall be
q post road that does not conform
to this gauge. The expense o.
changing a five foot gauge to con.
form to this plan will not exceed
$500 per mile, and it is believed
that most Of the roads could make
the change at less expense. Al
there arc less than 5000 miles o.
road requiring alteration, th'
whole cost orthe work would no
exceed 81, 900, 900. AS the United
States are interested in having thu
most expeditions transportation
of the mails and military stores
the public benefit 10 be secured
would justify a sufficient appro
preparation by Congress TO com
pensate the companies required
TO make the change. Possibl,
some exceptions might be mad
as to roads running into a ioreigl
country.
