Here is an extract from the letter of o
young lady in Chicago TO her affianeed in
Washington: I'VE expect to have a new
house built in a few weeks, just around
the corner fom where VIC formerly resid-
ed. ] am very glad you did not come TO
this city when you intended, for then you
would be as the rest of US, half scared TO
death. Father was up at the time, and
saved two suits of clothes (the one he had
on and another), but we, that is Mary,
Jeanette and /, were less lucky. You
would be surprised to see me, the morn
ing sfter we were driven out of the house,
with pair of Jin's old pants on, one
slipper, one shoe, and waterproof cloak.
This was, indeed, my complete outfit, and
| it was not until yesterday that | received
some other clothes from my cousin Mary,
who sent them from Cincinnati. That
would have made a splendid wedding
suit, wouldn't itsv -.

al in the silence that he did not repeat the
attempt. He was about in the act OF con
| tinuing his course down the descent to the
ford when his eyes fell on something by
the rivers edge, lying dark and still, hall
in the warter. A moment he stood, para
lyZed with horror, then came the wild de-
sire to rush away, away from that awful
thing, from that cleaning river and the
accusing trees-away, if possible, out OF
the worldi
But this impulse was gone in moment.
Eben dismounted from his horse and fast
ened him to tree, then with slow and
trembling steps went down to the foot OF
the hill, AMI along the bank, pushing
aside the thick bushes as he walked
Very soon he came out into the moon
light again, and at last the object which
he had seen from above lay in full sight
it was an old mossy log, nothing more.
Eben fell down on the ground, over
whelmcd with relief and thankfulness
He had not found the poor old man, but
! there was still chance that he might be
| living; and from the BOYS heart went ur
its first true prayer, that his folly might
he forgiven, and the old man be found ir
safety.
Then he rose to continue his search
when his attention was arrested by low
sound very near him, it seemed, yet mo-
the FLASHING water nor the murmurins
trees. Again pushing through the thick
ct, he heard more and more plainly, ant
soon with perfect distinctness, feeble
plaintive voice which kept repeating th'
words
"Oh, don't forget old Tin my, Lord
don't forget poor old Timmy!''
In moment Eben was by the old man'
side, with heart fuller of joy than it haC
ever been in his life. Timothy looked VI
to him with the same helpless, appealing
glance which before had tempted Ebel
to play his cruel jest, but which nov
moved him to the tenderest pity and com
junction. He tried to cheer and encour
age the frightened, childish spirit, aidec
the old man to rise, and almost carrie,
him up the hill, helped him up on hi
horse, and walked by his side holdin
him securely in his seat. Poor Timoth
sat bowed forward with weariness. but u,
tering no word of reproach if indeed h
was able to remember Eben's share in hi
misfortunes. But the boy needed no rt
proaches to deepen his sense of the wicl
edness of his thoughtless jest. Even IL
; poor old mother herself seemed to fe
this, for when at the sound of the horse
: tread she opened the door, and receive
her son in safety, the gentle tones of h
voice lifted a load from Eben's heart, Fl
he felt that by her, to whom he Ii;
caused so much anxiety and sorrow,
was indeed forgiven.-Christian Union

A Revolving Crime.

A case of the most revolving crime
which has ever been brought 10 light in
this county, comes from Walnut town.
ship. The source from which We obtain
the facts narrated in this article is entire
ly trustworthy, else we would think it
hardly worth while to publish them.
Shortly after the Chicago fire, woman
came from Chicago to the house of fam
lily living near Walnut Station, with whom
she was acquainted, and whose name for
the present shall be withheld, and re-
mained there until few days ago. On
Monday evening, the Both of October
the woman went out to shock of corn
near the house, and remained there fol
for some time; and when she went bach
to the house some boys belonging to tlie
family were passing that way, and thought
they heard a noise like child crying
They stopped and searched about unit
they found, near the shock of corn where
dirt thrown on it, The child was crying
and making feeble efforts TO free itself
An examination disclosed the fact tina
the child was but a few minutes old; tina
the dirt covering it had been stamped o
pressed down; and that there were mark
about its throat that plainly indicated al
attempt to strangulate it. 1t was remove
to the house and cared for, but it die
within an hour
The following day the facts becom
known to the people of the neighboI
hood, and there was consequently muc
indignation manifested at the conduct .
the woman. She remained few days
but the indignation of the people admor
ished her to leave, and she left. An a
tempt was made to have an inquest hel
over the remains of the child; but fc
some cause unknown to the public,
failed. 1t would be difficult to imagine
clearer case of brutal child murder; and W
cannot see why detention of the woma
and an inquest over the remains of til
child would not have been proper cours
of procedure.-Ply1p0ut Democrat

The school Examiner of Pulaski Coun-
ty has issued the following card postpon-
ing the Teachers Institute on account OF
its existence:
Owing to the existence of smallpox
in the county, the Teachers Institute is
postponed until farther notice. l will
hold examinations this month on Satur-
day, 18th and 18th, at 10 o'clock a. m, at

The D,n,ocrdt speaks thus: We a lGded
last week to the smallpox at Pulaski, and
mentioned the death of one of the daught-
ers of Mr.. Hughes. Since then we re.
gret to state, the eldest daugher has died
and the mother and father are both down
with the malady.
We know of no other cases in the coun.

measures being adopted generally by oul
citizens, that there will be no further
spread of the disease.

THE PEOPLES VERDICT.

THE PEOPLE S VERDICT.
The people of this city and State, in
their election of yesterday, proclaimed
their adhesion TO the Divine mandate
thundered from Sinai" Thou SHALT NOT
STEAL" This is the meaning, this the
moral of the verdict, which had very little
reference to party politics. Reconstruc
tion-Ku-Klux outrages--Protection--
Civil Service Reform-the next Presiden
tial contest-cach and all arc well in tEelr
way but the people of our State thought
little, and those of our city nothing at all
of them. They were moved to unwonted
energy and activity by conclusive evidence
of corruption, rascality and Iobbery per-
petrated by portion of their rulers. The
plunderers and their accomplices were rot
all of one party, but the more powerful
and conspicuous among them were so;
and the people struck at these as the
readiest and surest means cfrebuking, ar
resting and punishinp the crimes which
were sapping the foundations of republi-
i can freedom. They could not readily
strike all who had abused their confidence
so they dealt decisively with the worst Of
tenders, and reserved the rest fer the next
opportunity. That is the gist Of the mat
ter. = saszzaa
If the result shall seem less than com
, plete Republican triumph, it is SO only
because the Republicans in some instances
presented candidates who were popularl,

The Next Ruler OF France.

The first care and duty of the newly
elected French Assembly will be to make
peace upon the best terms that they can
obtain from the conqueror. A great ma
ton like France cannot commit suicide ;
and to continue o hopeless struggle until
the whole country is devasted and crushed
by inevitable disasters, only to have to
submit to still harder conditions in the
end, would be but little short CT national
suicide.
We take it for granted. therefore, that
peace will result from the pending negotia-
hons. After its conclusion the bulk OF
the German armies will return home, leav-
ing France to settle her affairs and select
her future government as best she may.
This will be task of no slight difficulty,
unless a very large majority of the nation
decide unequivocally in favor of one of
the four parties which aspire to rule the
destinies of the country. These four are
the Legitimists. the Orlesnists, the 1mpe-
rialists and the Republicans.
The first of these parties may, it is true,
be considered as ruled out It's adherents
are the few of the old noblesse and their
descendants who, like the Bourbon's, have
forgotten nothing of the ancient reoirae,
and have learned nothing from the lessons
and the bitter experience of the last eighty
years. They represent the principle OF
royalty by 'divine right" Their doctrine
is, that because chief of barbarous sol

DEATH OF GEORGE W, MoRDEcA4.-With
heartfelt SORROW we announce the death of
George W. Mordecai, which occurred at
the residence of the deceased in this city,
on Sunday evening last at about 7 o'clock.
The death of so good man is q national
loss but to the people OF this State, and
particularly to thoke Of this section of the
State, it is calamity. We. the Associate,
feel an inability to speak of this distin-
guished patriot, christian gentleman and
man in fitting terms, and will therefore
leave the task to competent persons. The
deceased had been sick for several months,
and we were aware that for weeks past his
friends had despaired of his recovery.
Not alone is the home hearth made desc
late by this sad bereavement-God bless
the poor, who ever found in George W.
Mordecai the liberal benefactor and the
friend.-RaleiRh Se1ati1SL
