THE Cincinnati Chronicle tells
the following with reference to a
set Of diamonds that are well known
in that city. Some years ago a
q young and beautiful girl married
man who had been twice married
before, and who gave her for a we'd
ding present costly set of
diamonds, the value of which was
blazcned in the papers. These
diamonds the husband, ''for securi-
"" kept, much to the chagrin of
the young wife, locked in his safe,
when not on her person. Lately
she wore the jewels to a hop at Sar-
atosa, and was much annoyed by
the regards of man who followed
her abert all the evening, seeming
ly in admiration of her gems. On
returning home she found this same
man in her parlor with her husband
waiting her coming, and was re-
questcd by the latter to hand him
her diamonds. She demurrcd, when
she was informed by her lord that
he hid purchased the diamonds, a
ME stock transaction, because he
considere,. them saic investment
of which he permitted her to "a'e
the benefit He had speculate and
lost, and this gentleman had gained
them, and they must change hands.
They did change hands, and the re-
ceiyer informed Madame that he
considered his money safe, as the
value of diamonds were on the in
crease, 50 he should keep them by
him for time, and when she wish
ed to appear in them she could do
so ''for consideration" provided
he accompanied her to keep his eye
on his property.

The Nashua Post gives the sub.
stance of recent decision of the
Supreme Court of Iowa, in the case
of tax voted to railroads, which APP
pears inconsistent, and technically
unjust to say the least. The case
is as follows:
Three years since under the law
then in force, New Hampton town
ship voted a tx of five per cent. in
aid of the Milwaukee & St. Paul II.
r. A portion of the tax was collect
ed and paid into the county treas
ury. The railroad company de-
handed it, but for the reason that
the law under which it had been
voted had in the meantime been de-
clared unconstitutional by the Su'
preme court, the treasurer, Mr.. Bird
sail, refused to pay over the money
to the company. The latter brought
suit to recover the tax, which suit
Mr.. Birdsall defended. The verdict
in the District court was in favor
of the treasurer, but the decision in
the Supreme Court reverses the
Judgment in the lower court, and
declares that the tax must be paid
to the railroad company. So the
case stands thus: The Supreme
Court decided that the railroad ia,
law of three years ago was uncon
stitutional, and, of course, that any
levy of taxes under it was illega
and void. The same court on
suit brought by the railroad com
pany for the recovery of these
illegal taxes, now declares that the,
must be paid. From this decision
however, Judge Beck, probably thu
ableSt member of the court, dis
sents. OF course it is impossible
to properly judge Of this decision
in the absence of the reasons which
Influenced it. There is a show o
equity in the award to the railroad
! company, as the original considera
ton for the voting Of the tax has
has been furnished. The road has
been built through the township
Still it will seem strange to people
unlearned in the law, that the rail
road company can acquire a lega
claim upon money unlawfully taker
from the people.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.

Among the remarkable escapes
was that of G. Cheiter, attached to
the Office of the State Printer, who
was in the fourth story, and escaped
by dropping from window cornice
to window cornice, until he reached

however.
The correspondent of the New

and copper beads covered the floor
Of the vault. Vestiges of a fibrous
cloth were also discovered near the
lower extrcmitics of each skeleton
but so thin and impalpable that ii
caumbled away at the slightest
touch. No ornaments of gold OF
silver were found, but various im-
plements in copper were scattered
thickly about, which had evidently
been procured from the mines OF
Lake Superior, as the evidences are
accommodating that these mines were
worked at date long prior to the
deluge.
After making thorough exami-
nation of the chamber of death and
its ghostly occupants, the men came
out, closing the entrance behind
them. TO what race the skeletons
belong, by whose hands their tomb
was constructed, must ever remain
a mystery. 1t is another leaf look
ing to the long ages of the past,
another evidence of the fact that of
this world and its founders we know
but very little.
We understand chat measures are
on foot to remove the skeletons and
all of the most important articles to
the hall of the Iowa Institute of
Science and Art. 1t is to be hoped
that they will remain here and not
be suffered to depart to enrich the
museums of eastern cities. Mean
while some Of our learned savants
would do well to investigate the
cave and it's surroundings and
establish, if possible, the identity
of the Observation-Disclosures Indian,
Mexican or Mound Digger. 1t will
prove an interesting research.

A Radical paper, describing the reoe nj
election in France, says:
The army voted in barracks, with the
Cslonels of the regiment presiding, and
each soldier voting mo- received black
mark which will prevent his promotion
and result in his punishment. By such
gentle means plebiscitum was triumphant.
By somewhat similar process to that
described above, Abraham Lincoln was
reelected in 1864, and George B. Nc
Clell0n defeated. The enforced adoption
of constitutional amendments, also, is not
whit less Questionable than Napoleon's
measures to secure amendments to the
constitution Of France.-St. Paul Pioneer.

Elkader.

Elkader.
This nice little country town, almost a
city is enlivened this week commencing
this Wednesday, by fair, for the benefit
of Catholic school, at the Sisters Hall.
See the bills referring to it. Rev. Father
Quigley, the priest in charge of the mis-
sion at Elkader, has worked with brains
as well as energy, in advancing the inter-
ests Of the church to which he is devoted.
He has succeeded in almost all the under
takings which his active mind has
conceived, and we doubt not his ability to
conquer all obstacles of a secular character.
Churches, by his solicitation and the liber-
atty Of the people, are in course Of
erection at Littleport, Waudena, and near
Clayton City. The Rev'd. gentleman is q
most energetic worker, and as full of
suavity as he is Of energy. 1t affords US
pleasure to certify to his popularity
throughout his mission. Words of com.
mendation are the only words we hear Of
him from members of all sects in the
neighborhood of his residence. Orr re.
ligion is not great, but our respect for
good men is not influenced by ma tiers Of
ecclesiastical opinion.

find the following. At the time this was
written Sickles was q democrat, and the
opposition papers went for him with a
will. Since his perversion to radicalisnl
his errors are of course forgotten. Even
Gen. Butler, with the sins of 81 votes 70,
Davis at the Charleston convention, oil
1860, is now among the radical saints.
Richardson we know was radical, and
from the extra efforts made by leading
officials and professors Of that color to
defend the memory Of tho dead and to Sc
cure the hanging of the injured man, We
conclude that Mcfarland is somewhat
democratic in his political ideas.
The little note below embodies general
public sentiment at the time we wrote it
1t was confirmed in the Cole iscock case
at Albany, and has been again stamped by
the Endorsement of public opinion in the
Mcfarland case. So it will be hereafter
in all cases. If amorously susceptible
gentlemen do not like to be shot let them
stay where they belong:
Sickles Discharged.
The announcement Of the discharge Of
Mr.. Sickles is received by the press and
the people of the country with general
approval. A few embittered partisan
sheets would insist on hanging any politi.
cal opponent, but such sheets are rare.
There are others who think the law should
have been vindicated by the prompt con.
viction Of the prisoner, and then an inn
mediate pardon follow, but the result now
made known gives general satisfaction.
The sentiment of the masses is that a man

The Sale of Cuba.

A Washington correspondent of THE SUN
reports in another part of this paper that
= scheme is ready for contamination to
sell Cuba to the noted Spanish volunteers of
the island In order that they may sell it to
The United States. This project, our CORE
spondcnt informs us, has the advocacy and
cooperation Of Secretary FISH, who is said to
make no secret of his opinion that it offers
The best possible solution of the whole Cuban
question. The price to I've paid to Spain, as
Dur correspondent states ii, is one hundred
millions Of dollars onctonth in cash and the
remainder in bonds to be guaranteed, If pcs
hble, by the United States. Whether tho
Island is to be sold to this country at the
tamc rate or at an enhanced price docs not
appear as yet 10 be determined.
We do not publish this extraordinary com
munication without some reserve But it
romes to us from a source of so high char
Rcter, that we are not at liberty to doubt that
there is foundation for its statements BE-
sides, il accords very remarkably with a plan
for the settlement of Cuba which was said
to have the approval of Mr.. FISH a year ago.

The Murder Of Gen. Goicouria.

To the many friends of Gen. DOMINGO
GoIcouRIA, the news of his execution at 1a-
vana on SNturdsy-wp-v%Fpvpss b-suas-sx-
pected as soon AZ his capture was heard
of, comes with terrible shock and thrill of
horror. During his long stay among us the
General had endeared himself to all who
knew him, by his genial manners, his enthu
siastic patriotism. and his untiring devotion
to the cause for which his LIES labor, and
finally life itself, have been sacrificed. lie
is by far the most shining victim that has yet
fallen to the bloodthirstness Of the Spanish
tyrants of Cuba and his death will be wide
ly felt as personal bereavement. The cir
cumstances attending the capture Of this dis
tinguished patriot, published in THE Sun Of
Saturday, fix responsibility for II, and for
his subsequent murder, not Immediately In
decd but none the less CERTAINLY. upon. our
own Secretary of State, Mr.. HAMILTON FISH,
and his law, Mr.. SIDNEY WEBSTER
II was by the aid Of the gunboats, which, In
defiance of our neutrality law of 1918, and Of
the protestations of all our liberalminded
citizens Mr.. WEBSTER labored 20 diligently
to let loose from this port for the Spanish
service, and which, through the weak compli.
ance of his father n.law, were ultimately
permitted TO sail, that Gen. GoIcouRrA
was surrounded and prevented from escap-
ing. On the heads of FISH and WEBSTER,
and their aiders and abettors in the Admins
tration, rests tho blood of GoIcoURIA. They
are accessory to his death as surely as if
they had themselves taken and bound him
and handed him over to the cruel merccs OF
the Havana volunteers
