Mounting a wild, cream-colored
mustang, he galloped out Of the
city to his camp in the woods on
Turkey creek. Early yesterday
morning the strange couple prepar-

to the appointed place and marched
sedately into Ransom's office at pre-

wanted, Messrs. TeH & Havens we're
called in to oficiate as groomsman

Origin of the Phrase II Acknowledges
the Corn"


Hon. Andrew Stewart has been
nominated for Congress in the West
moreland District (XXIl of Pa,
Mr.. Stewart was in Congress when
Henry Clay and Daniel Webster
were there, and advocated protection
Mr.. Stewart recently made a speech,
in which he referred to the fact. At
the same time he related an incident
which gave the origin of the we'll
known, phrase, i acknowledge the
corn
In 1922 years ago-this sub
iect was before congress, and we
were discussing it. l was trying to
show to the farmers of the country
that they we're purchasing foreign
agricultural productions in the form
of goods, while they leaYe their own
produce at home without a market.
l said Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky
sent their hay-stacks, eornfelds and
fodder to New York andPhiladelphia
for sale.
Mr.. Wickliffe, Of Kentucky, jump
ed up and said:
"Why, that is absurd, Mr. Speaker,
l call the gentleman to order. He is
stating an absurdity. We never send
haystacks or cornfelds TO New York
or Philadelphia. "
Well 1 said, what do you send?
Why, horses, mules, cattle and
hogs
We'll, what makes your horses.
mules, cattle and hogs? You feed a
hundred dollars worth of hay to a
horse; you just animate and get
upon the top of your haystack and
ride it to market. Laughter. How
is it with your cattle? You make
one of them carry fifty dollars worth
of hay and grass to the Eastern
Market
Then 1 came to the hog question:
Said 1: Mr.. Wicklife, You send q
hog worth ten dollars to an Eastern
market; how much corn does it take
at SO cents per bushel to fatten itT
Why, thirty bushels
Then you put that thirty bushsis
of corn into the shape Of q hog, and
make it walk of to the Eastern
market
Mr.. Wicklife jumped up and said:
Mr.. Speaker, I acknowledge the
corn,' Laughter.

How the French Ladies Treat th
Germans

S3OH LlG 1o4C0 AdQ4B5 treat the
Germans.
A correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel,
who is with the German troops at Versailles,
says:
One rather fair and pretty lady, who was
standing near the corner Of a street, while Civ.
ing something to a poor child dropped her
handkerchief. Being quite near, picked it
up and presented it to her. Her looks betray-
ed little more concern than they might have
done had been a lamp-post, and she did not
move ingerto take it, I kissed the laces of the
handkerchief, and then making my best bow
put it in my coat. I will not attempt to des-
cribe the look Of rage IN the face of that pretty
French girl as walked Off A companion re-
lated to me that some time before, as he offer
ed some sweatmeats to a number Of little girls
playing on the street, one said: "Me cannot
accept anything from Prussian." wish the
proprietor Of the cafe had the same aversion OF
taking anything from Prussian, but he was
unpatriotic enough to ask nineteen thalers FOR
two covers and two bottles of champagne.

mo MAN KNowETH OF HIS
SEPULCEER."

By wM. CULLEN BRYANT.
When he who nom the scourge Of wrong
Aroused the Hebrew tribes to hy,
Saw the fair region promised long,
And bowed him on the hills to die
God made his grave, to man unknown,
Where Moab's rocks vale unfold,
And laid the aged seer alone,
To slumber while the world grows old.
Thus still, whene'er the good and Just
Close their dim eyes on life and pain,
Heaven watches Ger their slumbering dust
Till the pure spirit comes again.
Though nameless trampled, and forgot,
His servants humble ashes lie.-
Yet God has marked and sealed the spot,
To call its inmate to the sky.

cut-throats, who had been the terror Of
the whole country round, and take refuge
in cavern situated near the summit OF
one of the lofty mountains of the Sierra
Profunda In this cavern he had con-
cealed a female captive, whose husband
he had robbed and slain. The soldiers
made several Intellectual attempts to
reach the abode of the culprit Lagobe-
ron, man of gigantic stature and her
culean strength, succeeded in beating
them off by rolling heavy rocks down
upon them whenever they approached.
The officer in command of the troops re-
solved at first to starve the bandit out,
but after two days blockade grew weary
Of so tedious an expedient, impro-
vised an escalade of the chieftain's
stronghold, and succeeded in cap
turing him. To their horror, upon
entering the cavern, they found the poor
woman in dying condition, Lagoberon
having cut off one of the breasts of bis
unfortunate captive and eaten it, The
inhuman butcher was conveyed to Talca,
where he was promptly tried and con-
demned to die on the garrote. He was
speedily conducted to the scaffold, and
while the executioner was engaged in
adjusting his toilette de mort the con-
vict drew whistle which he had con
cealed in his pocket, and blew it sharply;
whereupon about sixty of his followers,
who had introduced themselves among
the crowd surrounding the scaffold,
rushed upon the gendarmes and mas
sacred them ere they could offer any re-
sistance. They then freed their chief
and garroted his would-be executioner,
after which they escaped, almost un-
scathed, to the mountains, facilitating
their flight by seizing the horses of the
murdered gendarmes They also car
ried off several women from the throng,
gathered to witness the execution.

JAPAN.
Attempt 10 Assassinate n United
States Consul.


From the Japan Gazette, March 81
The evening before last we mentioned
that telegram had been received ir
town to the effect that an assassin
entered the bedroom of Col. G. o. Shep-
ard the United States Consul in Jeddo.
The following particulars we learned too
late for insertion last evening;
Colonel Shepard resides in the Jeddo
Hotel, his flagstaff being put up in the
hotel compound. He occupies one of
the wings up stairs, to which there is no
direct staircase from below, and to which
a greater length of passage has to be
traversed than to many of the sleeping
apartments, besides turn in the pas
sage having to be made. A man in the
dark, therefore, could hardly arrive at
his door without special design 1t hap
pens also that Colonel Shepard locks his
bedroom door at night. There are two
keys, one of which he keeps to lock him
self in; the other is kept by his japanese
boy to let himself in when he calls his
master in the morning. 1t appears that
Col Shepard was awoke and fancied he
heard the noise of the lock being turned
and the door opened, but so uncertain
was he as to whether it was really noise
or only dream that an instant after he
was asleep again. 1t was quite dark, and
although an intruder stepped noiselessly
into the room, he stumbled on a pair of
boots Just inside the door, and thus fairly
reused the Colonel, who jumped up in
bed and demanded Who's there?"
He then seized his pistol, and the man
ran out of his room. He followed, how
ever, and, dark as it was, perceived by
the sound of his feet that the man was
running along the passage to the grand
staircase. He fired along the passage,
but evidently without effect, for the steps |
still retreated. He then ran swiftly |
along to the staircase and fired another
shot as the fugitive reached the first |
landing, when the fellow cried augh,
leading Colonel Shepard to think he had /
hit him; another ere he reached 1
the foot of the stairs, down which Col. (
Shepard pursued him; and gave a part
ing shot as he passed out of the door
which stood open. As all this time
merely the faintest image of man in
retreat had been actually seen, the shots
were made by the pursuer, himself in
motion, at a mark the whereabouts of
which was rather judged of by sound
than by sight BY this time the whole
of the inmates of the hotel were aroused
Col Shepard did not follow the fellow
further, as the night was very dark. A
light having been procured, a short
sword was found sticking in the stairs;
and search being made at daylight, the
scabbard Of the sword was found near
one of the iron stays of the flagstaff, and
a mark showing that the man had run
against the guy.
These facts seem to place beyond
doubt the deliberate intentions Of the
man

Radical OratOry.


From the Frankfort leoman.l
The Republican Club Of this city lcol-
oredl holds weekly meetings every We'd
nesday night, and affords fine 6eld for
the display Of Radical oratory on the
part of white Radical candidates for
Office. Occasionally only an oratorical
effort is made which is worthy of a re-
port. The most eloquent yet delivered
was by Mr.. Otto Won Bories, proprietor
Of millinery establishment, who seems
to have the inside track as Radical can
didate for Police Judge. The following

mode of execution-hanging, shooting
or beheading. Instinctively they all
turn from hanging. One white man

was induced by the hope held out by
some of his confederates that they would
