Argyle, Yarmouth County, was burned,
and his five children persisted in the
flames. Mr.. aud Mrs Spinpey were ab.

saw the flames, and made every effort to
rescue the children, but was driven back
by the fire, The remains Of two OF the
children were found in q position show
ing that they nearly effected their escape.

A DETERMINED BRIDE.

Detective Simmons had an extreme
ly delicate case on his hands yester-
day, but he succeeded in bringing il
to termination that was apparently
satisfactory to the parties most inter
ested. A young lady from Tideout,
Pennsylvania, whose affections and
purse had been seriously trifed with
by former male resident of the
same place, recently arrived in this
city in search of the faithless individ-
ual, whose presence here she had
every reason to suspect. Applying
at police headquarters for assistance,
detective Simmons was detailed to
accompany her. He succeeded in
.arresting the offending young man
yesterday, and brought her face to
face with his prisoner. The two held
q brief conference, the result of which
astonished the officer, to say the
least. 1t was not that the prisoner
agreed to restore to the bereaved
maiden the $3.50 which he had bor-
rowed' from her that caused wonder
he made no such promise; but il
was the alacrity with which he jump.
ed at her offer of marriage. A Ii
cense was speedily procured, and
then the trio went in search of a
Catholic priest. Father Noonan was
found, but he refused, under the pc
culiar circumstances to join the anx-
ious pair without permission from
higher ecclesiastical lauthoiity. Bish-
op Foley was then sought. but. owing
to the amount of business which
claims his attention, it was impossi-
BILE to find him with leisure mo-
ment. Simmons and his wards re-
traced their steps to Father Noonan.
and again requested him to perform
the marriage ceremony and save them
from exposure in the Courts. The
detective whispered something in the
reverend gentleman's S ear, which had
the Immediate effect of inducing him
to don his clerical robes and bring
contentment to the children of Tide
out. The names of the young peo-
pie are withheld for theft own sakes.

AN OPTICAL CURIOSITY.

Here is simple little experiment,
by which we can prove the existence
of blind spot in your eyes Shut
your left eye, and with the right one
look steadily at the cross just below,
holding the paper ten or twelve in
ches from the eye.
The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1872-10-18

Now move the paper slo,rly toward
the eye, which must be kept fixed on
the cross. At certain distance the
other fgure-the letter o-will sud-
denly disappear. but if you bring the
paper nearer, it will come again into
view. You may not sfcceed in the
experiment on the first trial, but with
little patience you can hardly fail,
and the suddenness with which the
black spot vanishes and reappears is
very striking. Now examination has
shown that, when it disappears, its
image fails exactly on the spot where
the optic nerve enters the eye, thus
proving that spotto be blind.

Death of William II. seward.

The telegraphic news this morning is to
the effect that this distinguished statesman
died yesterday at his home in Auburn. Mr.
Seward died at a ripe old age, in the quiet
of his beautiful home, free from the cares
Of public life, and with a consciousness that
he had left his work well done.
For half century Mr. Sc ward has been
part of the history. of his country. AS
Governor Of the State of New York, United
States Senator, and finally as chief of the
Cabinet Of the late President Lincoln, Mr..
Seward has left record of deep sagacity,
wise craftsmanship and answering devo-
ton to purpose. Originally a Whig, he
became a Republican, at the birth of that
party, with Preston King, Horace Greeley
and the controlling minds of that day.
He, Charles Sumner, Salmon P. Chase
and John P. Hale were the first four Re
pubhcans on the floor Of the United States
Senate. He was prominent candidate at
Chicago, in the convention which finally
placed Mr. lincoln in nomination for the
presidency, and if was wise act of Mr..
Lincoln, when elected, placing his compet-
ICOt dt 6u5 Attu Ol MS NaDlucts "uGI6 HIS
services were of inestimable value in pre-
venting diplomatic complications with for
eign powers during our late civil war. The
public frequently found fault with him
during his administration, but the result
always showed that he was right.
Since his retiring from office he made an
interesting tour around Che world, from
which he returned only few months since.
We believe he was. at the time of his death,
actively engaged upon a history of his pub
lie political lifeo which would, of course,
have been valuable addition to our litera-
ture. He had frequently, during his public
career, found time to devote to literature
and several works have been published
from his pen. among :hem life of John
Quincy Adams
Mr.. Seward had beep in poor health for
some time. but the country was not pre-
pared to hear of his DEATH

LIBERAL PARISH CONVENTION.
Fourth Dax.

The convention met at ten o'clock, Cap
tain Stanford, president, in the chair.
The roll was called and a quorum found
to be present.
TIE minutes were read and approved.
The committee on resolutions asked for
further time which was granted.
Mr.. Lemarie, chairman of the committee
Of conference, reported no progress on the
part of the committee.
The communication previously received
from the Reform committe and laid upon
the table, was taken therefrom and referred
to the conference committee.
On motion Of Mr. Lamarie the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
ReSolred, That inasmuch as the Liberal
State Convention Of August last unanimous
Iy passed resolution recommending Gov
ernor H. G. WarmOth for the United States
Senate, to succeed the Hon. William 2.
Kellogg, as mark of just appreciation Of
his services and craftsmanship, we pledge
our nominees for the Senate and House of
Representatives to fulfill that obligation of
good faith, and further declare that we
will not support candidates for such posi-
tiOns who are opposed to its observance and
execution.
No other business of Importance was
transacted, and the convention adjourned
until ten O'Clock on Saturday.

The Texas 4IaiIs.

There is suggestive point in the sub
joined paragraph from the Galveston Bu1e-
Tin, if some Of our business men will take
the trouble to see it:
We presume the Postofice Department
will be informed of the near approach to
direct daily rail communication with St
Louis, Chicago and New York, and that the
mails will be sent that way instead of lay
ing over forty-eight hours in New Orleans.
By the first day of November the connec-
ton will be made, and we think the people
of Texas, On the line Of tue railroads,
should receive a daily mail by that route.
st. Louis papers, to reach Dallas, now are
sent to New Orleans and detained there for
tri-weekly mail, whereas by the rail they
should get to Dallas before we receive them
at Galveston. The Postottice Department
will doubtless awake Que of these days to
the Importance of facilitating the mail car
rying in Texas so as to accommodate the in
habitants. With greater mail facilities cor
respondence will increase in proportion,
and it will become source of profit instead
of expense to the department. We trust
the daily mail from ST. Louis will become a
fixed fact.
Railroad communication between New
Orleans and Texas would enable Texas
mails to pass through New Orleans without
delay here.

BIrs. surratt and President johnson.
This is a Washington special to the Loui.

This is a Washington special to the Louis
vile C0t1ier-.Joarnal:
The recent statement, attributed to ex-
President johnson, to the effect that he had
never refused to interview Miss Surratt on
the day she went to the Presidents house
to intercede for the life of her mother, but
that she had been repulsed by his secretary,
Colonel muZzy, on his own responsibility,
and that he lthe President) did not know of
Mrs. Surratt's application for an interview,
is not only fatty contradicted by Muzzy. who
states that he acted under the express or
ders of the ex-President, but is also pro-
neunced entirely untrue by prominent citi-
zens of Washington City. These gentlemen
state that on tho day of execution, they
were informed by Mrs. Williams, former
wife of Senator Douglas, that she had
that very day witnessed dreadful scene
at the White House; that she had gone
there on another matter. There, at the foot
of the steps, MISS Surratt threw herself at
her feet, and with tears imDlored her inter
cessiOn with the President for an interview.
Mrs. Williams went back to the President
and begged him to grant an interview to
Miss Surratt and to spare her mothers life.
The President refused both requests, stating
that the matter was finally settled and could
not be reopened. Mrs. Williams said that
on repeating this reply to Miss Surratt her
shrieks could have been heard several
squares off, Ia recent conversation on
the subject here, the eX-President stated
that the part of the record where the court
recommended Mrs. Surratt to mercy had
been fraudulently torn out and kept from
his knowledge, and intimated that had he
seen it Mrs. Surratts sentence would have
been commuted to Imprisonment.
