1 Philadelphia Clerk runs away with
a Merchants Wife and S1S,00O.---
They settle in Cherokee County,
Iowa, where they are at last ar
rested.
Our neighbors at the town of Cher
Okee have been treated to Il real live
sensation recently. &. Parkhurst, a
destroyer of the domestic peace of n
wealthy Philadelphia merchant, was
discovered at that place, living in "a
quiet way with his paramOur.
1t appears that about year ago,
Parkhurst went to Philadelphia and
made visit to the family of the
wealthy merchant, representing him
self a. n cousin to the merchants
wife, gay and fascinating woman
much younger than her husband.
He was taken into the merchants
store as n clerk, where he remained
little over ten months. The mer-
chant by this time began to suspect
that evcryth thing was not right, and
investigation confirmed his suspi.
ciOnS. Instead of the favorite clerk
being cousin of his wife, he was
her youthful lover, and after many
years or separation, during which
time she had married, and bound the
contract by family of two children,
Parkhurst, her first lover, had sought
her out; and with the scenes and
memories of their youthful love,
fresh i'm her heart, he broke over all
considerations of humanity, and &C
complished her ruin.
In the abscnse OF her husband o.. e
night, about two months ago, the
vile, leaving her two children, elop-
ed with Parkhurst, taking with her
$4,000 OF her husbands money
Ih. y went to Wisconsin, and from
there came into the southern part of
Iowa, where he purchased consider
able land. and then came up into
sack and Buena Vista counties. Here
he invested largely in land, and
finally removed to Cherokee some
two or three weeks ego, and settled
down to house keeping.
During all their peregrenations,
the detectives sent out by the wronged
husband were close on their heels,
and last Saturday they Overhauled
the guilty couple, and took them
back to Philadelphia TO suffer the
penalty of their crimes.-SiOtr city

In accordance with an act of Congress
passed at Its last session the War Depart
ment is establishing at various points in the
country, Philadelphia included, observation
stations for the purpose of noting the gen.
eral condition of the weather and the ap-
proach and force of storms. The results are
to be embodied in a system of meteorologi-
cal reports to be made to the department at
Washington. Apart from the scientific i'm
portance of these observations, they will ex-
ercise very considerable effect upon agri
culture and navigation. Whenever exper-
fence has determined certainly what may be
regarded as premonitions of coming storm
in any particular section. signal stations will
be established and signal displayed announ-
cling the probable approach, with other in
formation possible under the circumstances.
The time may come when farmer will
house his grain or sailer trim his sails, to
guard against the fury of the elements, by
the light of beacon, whose appearance
bodies the coming of hurricane.

When the question of compensation to
SHAREHOLDERS for the loss of their slaves
comes before the people. We propose the
consideration of the kindred question of
compensation to tAe slaves. Well does the
Charleston Republican say of these men:
They have toiled hard year after year.
What have they to show for it : White men
have toiled, and they own houses, lands,
horses and all kinds of property. How many
colored men have dollars worth of proper
ty of any kind? And yet who created all
these values? Who but the laboring men
of the State? And the larger part were
created by class who never received dol
lar in wages until after emancipation.
That hits the nail on the head If the
cormorants who have swallowed the earn
ings of the poor propose to disgorge, we will
give them all credit for their deathbed re.
pentance. But if they continue horse leach
like to cry "give, give !" we venture to sug-
gest that there are two views of this ques-
ton of giving.

The Diamond Land.

!, A long letter from an English clergyman
is published in the London Times, giving
an account OF great discovery of diamonds
in South Africa. He writes: II have the
most reliable information of some who have
of course been there but a short time, who
when they went were amateurs and mex
perts at any such labor-in comparative
poverty though respectable, and who have
already enriched themselves, and are
writing to direct their younger sisters
to be sent to boarding schools at their
expense. They sleep in tents or under OK
wagons, working hard at picking, sieving,
or washing from sunrise till dark, and anus
ing themselves under canvas, as best they
can, of an evening. They report that law
and good order have been fairly established
by an extemporized COMMITTEE of Safety"
on the fields. Food and supplies OF all kinds
are very little.1saser than in the towns they
left, stores being very freely sent up by
Spectators. At this winter season the nights
are cold. But some Of them who have trav-
elled much in Australia. America, and Eu-
rope, declare the climate the healthiest and
most delightful in the world The discov-
cry has indeed caused a. movement in South
Africa that nobody can see the end Of
Diamond fields no r' is now the cry from
every town in the colony. There seems
practically as yet no limit to the extent of
room. All the information, so far, leads to
the conclusion that there is quite as ample
room for 100000 diggers as there is for 10,
900. Their larger finds are now being sys-
tematically concealed and withheld from
newspaper reports. Most OF the little COM
panies who start for the fields bind them
selves to secrecy on this head in their writ
ten articles of partnership. But it is GER
tain that all who have reached there, leaving
any friends behind, soon urge those friends
to come. 1t is certain that diamond mer-
chants and dealers in gems are already in
good force on the fields. 1t is certain that
large sums of money arc transmitted to their
credit It is certain that some rough fellows
who have gone up, who we're known to
many Of as poor men but few weeks ago
have become suddenly rich. 1t is known to
US, too, how some Of them unfortunately
spend it-viz., in gambling, billiard playing
champagne drinking and brandy drinking
1t is known to us that single stones have
been picked up already by individuals, fol
which thousands of pounds have changed
hands on the fields. 'l- % 81

MASSACHUSETTS.

The Republicans of this State renomina-
ted Gov. Claflin, and adopted good plat
form. The administration of Gen. Grant is
endorsed, the Funding bill is supported, the
labor party organization is denounced, the
Alabama question is pressed upon England,
and there is mild, hazy resolution in favor
of temperance. The resolution in favor of
woman's suffrage was defeated by vote of
1876 to 1873.
The nomination of Gov. Claf1in is wise
one Mr. Claflin is a self-made man. He is
from the people, and will administer the
affairs of the Bay State with fidelity and
ability.
We would have been glad if the party
could have adopted some temperance policy
which woald have caused Mr.. Wendell Phil
lips to withdraw as candidate for Govern
or The State is largely Republican, and
Gov. Clafln will be re elected.

Our opinion is decided on this point, that
there is too much voting and too many to
do it. We advocate property qualification,
and would be pleased to see the people re-
adopt that wise restriction established by
the original trainers of our State Constitu-
.tion.-Char. Bulletin.
The Bulletin is Democratic paper, and
represents the views of large portion of
the Democratic party. When the Bulletin
says it desires property qualification for vo-
4ers,it speaks for large number of those who
vote the Democratic ticket. We admire the
ndor of the Bulletin, and would be glad
to see more of it in the opposition papers.

In France the flirting is all done after
marriage, and the young girl looks forward
to it as her Introduction to career of con-
quest In America SO great is our iberali-
ty that we think of uniting the two systems.
We are getting on ia that way fast. A
knowledge of French is beginning to be con-
sidered as the pearl ofgreat price to gain
which all else must be sold. The girls must
go to the French theater and be stared at by
French debauches, who laugh at them while
they pretend to understand what, thank
Heaven, they cannot. Then we are to have
series of French novels, carefully trans
lated, and pulled and praised even by the
religious press, written by the corps of
French female reformers, which will show
them exactly how the naughty French
woman manage their cards; SO that, by and
aby, We shall have the latest -phase ofeclec:

The secession democrats fear the DC

The secession democrats fear the pen of
Gov. Holden. They know that the "pen
is mightier than the sword" when welded
by such writer as the Governor. That the
articles which have appeared in the Standard
during the three weeks which We have had
control of its columns, should be credited
to Gov. Holden, is unmistakable evidence of
the havoc which has been made in the
ranks of the bogus democracy. Banquo's
ghost was not feared as much as the Democ-
racy fears the pen of Gov. Holden. II the
knowledge that Gov Holden does not write
for the Standard, will quiet their nerves,
they are welcome to the information.
