A MISTAKE.

Mr.. Hendricks made a mistake
in engaging in the Milligan case in
the United States Court. He did
nothing m ere, perhaps, than per-
form his duty as an attorney; but
thousands will regard it and treat
it as having some political sigoifi-
canoe, and will associate him with
it TO his disadvantage Mr.. Nc
Donald was applied to, but de-
clined to engage in it. Mr.. Hen
bricks, possibly, expected to sat
is fy the Bourbons in the party, by
whom he is looked upon as too
mild and conservative a type OF
statesman, but in this he has failed.
Since the close of the trial be is
denounced by them for want OF
courage to present and insist upon
what they call the strong points OF
the ease.
The truth is Milligan is an ele-
phant they can not afford to have
on their hands-at least it would
be wiser of them not to exhibit
him-and the more discreet mem
bers of the party know it. What
ever may be said of the Tribunal
that tried and condemned him, be
was engaged in a conspiracy that
the party wish was forgotten and
the longer his name is kept con
spicuously beforn the public, the
longer the infamy Of himself and
his confederates will be remember
ed to the disadvantage Of the par
ty in Indiana. II is unlucky fo1

allow Andy johnson to hang

LOOK BEFORE YOU KICK.
Predicamento Of Clergyman thrO usl
Sausages.

A minister in one of our oftho
dox churches, while on his way to
preach q funeral sermon in the
country, called oa one OF his mem.
bers an old widow lady, who lived
near the road he was travelling.
The old lady had just been max
ing sausages. and she felt proud Of
them, they were so plump, round,
and sweet. OF course she insisted
on her minister taking some Of the
links to his family. The minister
objected, on account OF not having
his portmanteau with him. This
objection was soon overrnled, and
the lady, after wrapping them in a
rag, carefully placed q bundle in
either pocket Of the preachers ca
pacious great coat. Thus equip
ped he started for the funeral.
While attending to the solemn
duties of the grave, some hungry
dogs scented the sausages and
were not long in tracing them 10
the pockets of the minister's over
coat.
This was q great annoyance, and
he was several times under the
necessity of kicking the dogs away.
The ohseQuies at the grave be-
ing completed, the minister and
congregation repaired to the
church, where the funeral discourse
was TO be delivered.
After the sermon was finished,
the good man halted to make some
remarks TO the congregation, when
q brother who desired to have an
appointment given out, ascended
the steps of the pulpit and gave
the minister's coat a hitch, to get
his attention.
The divine, thinking it dog
having designs upon his pocket
raised his foot, gave sudden kick,
and sent the good brother sprawl
ing down the steps.
You will excuse me, brethren
and SISTERS said the minister, con
fusedly, and without looking a,

could not avoid i'll have saus-
ages in my pocket, and that darna-
tion dog has been trying to grab
them ever since came upon the
premises.

effect such an announcement
would have at a funeral. Tears o.
sorrow were suddenly exchanged

DIVORCED BY DEATH.
A Farmer Accuses His Wife of an
Attempt to Murder Him.

The people residing in the vicin-
ity of St. Francis Station, a few
miles below Bay View, have for
several days past been agitated by
what many of them deem a re-
markable dispensation Of Provi-
dence. A farmer named Niesscn,
an old resident Of that section had
until quite recently lived i'll the
enjoyment of a happy home, glad
dened with the presence Of low
ing wife, and family of eight in
teresting children. But the bright
halo of his happiness was soon to
be overshadowed by the clouds OF
a gathering storm. Trifing cir
cumstances led him to suspect his
wife of an evil design to rid her
self of his presence. Several tri-
val incidents strengthened the con-
viction of suspicious nature
And step by step an unkind fate
led the wife into position OF
seeming enmity to the partner of
her life. While kneading a batch
of dough for bread. two pins dis,
engaged themselves from lie dress
and were not noticed until break
! fast on Saturday morning, when
the husband found them in his
slice of bread.
Blinded with suspicion he imme
diately accused her of an attemp,
upon his life. She Indignantly
denied the imputation, and wept
to see her husband leave the thres
hold Of the once happy home fol
the avowed purpose OF institutipe g
proceedings for divorce.
While the husband was vending
his wry to the nunnery at St. Fran
els to seek advice as to his cours,
under the unfortunate circum
stances, the wife went sorrowingl,

usual task of milking the cows
While so employed one of the cows

outside of the house be was dead :.
He had attempted to rob his con-

obeyed his orders, and "Let no
