E1souIlOn or wado-A shocking scene.

WIbHAMsPORT, Pa, November Cat LAO
p. M. an attempt was made to hang Wade. The
drop was kuOcked out, but the rope was too
long, and he touched the ground with his ieets
The rope is now being shortened for another
trial. Wade is very prOfane. He told the Jail
or to hurry up, as he had an appointment 10
dine in hell with the devil at O'Clock. He
says the only thing that troubles him Is whether
the people he murdered are 10 heaven or hells
Af!eTnoOn.-The rope being too long his feet
struck the ground squarelY, slightly choking him.
In this position he remained shouting 40 Lord
have mercy" The rope then came of his neck and
his b9dy fell over heavily on theF gouud. He was
then carried upon the scaffod and, after long de-
lay in arranging the rope, the drop was again pu-
led. He feT this time less than thTes feet. His
fame was violent .ly cOntoTtSd, and he seemed to
be struggling WI the dread messenger. His
pulse continued 10 reat for seven minutes. After
hanging for twenty-Seven minutes he was placed
Ia the coffin aud tlken charge Of by his friUnds
Many pieces Of the rope were cut OF and carried
away ss relics by the spectators.

The Levant Times mentions that tho drouth
in Asia Minor. tho nclghborhood Of Angora,
has been excessive, and in the small town Of
Gcrcdch the enlightened inhabitants for some
time past have daily offered up prayers for
rain. No change taking place in the weather,
1t was decided that some "charms" must be
tried, and they at last bethought themselves
Of an lnfalliblc one. 1t was simple, but one
which, for fear Of the consequences q these
degenerate days, could not be performed In
the good old style" 1t consisted In cutting
off the head OF Christian and throwing It
into stream or pond. As a r1ye Christian
did not periodically present himself, II was
determined to exhume dead one, and to
make sure the magic rite was performed with
the heads of three bcdies, one Of whom had
been dead over month. Up to the latest
adyices the charm had not worked, and the
country remained marched.

A DEMOCRATIC LEADER ON THE
DRMOGRACY

The Hon. W. =. Groesbcck, al Ohio, who
has long been considered the foremost Dem
ocrat In the country, has made q rather
curious contribution, which will he found In
our news columns this morning, to the po-
litical literature Of the times. In a letter
written last May, and now for the first time
given to the public, he declares Il 10 DO his
opinion that "thc historical Democratic or
ganiEaiionis spoiled" that as party nothing
remains for Il TO do but to get out Of the way
aud give place TO a new organization. His
words are, laundering constantly during
the last ten ycars, and shattered by many de-
fcats, IL surrendered finally at the last Presi-
dental election" There h nothing particu-
larry new or original in this expression. 1t
has been uttered thousands Of times on the
stump, in campaign after campaign; II has
been printed again and again In newspapers
of all shades Of politics; but It is specially
noticeable and noteworthy now on the lips Of
party leader Of Mr.. Grocsbccks emincncc,
TO whom only year ago the majority OF bis
political associates looked as a rival of
Mr.. Greeley for the Baltimore nomination,
and who only few days since refused TO
lead the Democratic ticket In his own State
In the approaching gubcrnatorial contest.
Mr.. Grocsbcck has come to the conclusion
that what We need at The present time Is an
entirely new organixaten, an organization
that shall be made up Of present Democrats,
OF former Democrats and Of Republicans
who are dissatisfied with tho policy and ten
fencies of the present Administration.
Statesman enough to know that q party with
out principle is impossible, he has cast
ma IN Ind LAT
form upon which he eau get the new party
to stand. Mere persona, opposition to Prcsi-
dent Grant he knows to be sweak and rotten
reed upon which to lean, and so after con-
siderable cropping for an issue hv triumph
antly drugs out ''anti-monopoly" and
free trade" with the usual platitudo Of
strict construction Of the Constitution. Mr.
Grocsbeck believes that II he can only get
the Democrats and the dissatisfied Republic
cans to unite upon these points they have
only to go In and win. \ careful examina- |
ton Of his letter, and Of the propositions |
which he lays down, shows the hollow and un- |
substantial character of the new departure
which he proposes. First Of all, before there |
can be au anti.monopoly party we must have |
an organization which specially fosters and
upholds monopOlles-a monopoly party.
Where is IT. 1t certainly cannot be said that
the Republican party is amenablc to the
charge. 1t came into existence in opposition
70 the greatest monopoly that preyed upon
the country, and waged a war for its dcstruc-
ton. The plea that the tarin-thc joint
work OF Republicans and Democrats In Con-
gress-whicb Mr.. Groesbeck inslnuates Is
only the old demagogical cry which the Or

Mr.. Thomas Hughes has given two power
full and probing lectures at Edinburgh on the
problems of Civilization" both Of which
have been published In "Macmillans Maya
zine" This able, liberal thinker gives a
gloomy and depressing account of the moral
situation, especially In England. The nation
was never so rich before as 1t is to-day. But,
In the words Of Carlyle, the wealth Is en-
chanted. 1t docs no good to anybody. 1t
increases labor, care, luxury, the pride of the
rich, the envy and disquct of the poor, and
artificial distinctions that are social curses.
II has diminished the unity, harmony aud
real happiness of tho people US a whole.
The picture Of English society sketched by
Mr. Hughes is sombre enough. The worst Of
1t is, II Is nearly true. Allow q little for rhe-
torical ovcrstatement and still the view is
dark almost to blackness. Aud much Of what
he says applies In some degree to America as
well US 10 England. There is no question
that, In some OF its aspects and tendencies,
our civilization is q failure. Things are bad,
There Is vast deal Of inequality In condi-
tions, want, suffering, misery, vice and crime;
there is no increase Of happiness and virtue
and personal dignity and nobleucss CORE
spending to the increase of wealth, mechan-
ical power, culture, comfort and luxury.
But Mr.. Hughes seems to imply that the
evil comes from the increase Of wealth and
comfort and culture when, In fact, II exists
In spite Of these things. II comes from social
Inequalities and Embellishments and antag-
onisms that have been Increased by the new
order Of things, but which have not yet been
overcome. Society does not move In perfect
order, like an army on definite lines of ad-
vance, each regiment under Its own colors,
and keeping step to music whose inspiring
relieve the weariness and tedium Oh
the way. II moves like mob, rushing here
and there, seemingly without law or order,
according 10 opportunity or attraction or i'm
pulse. II flows, like water, through devious
paths wherever q sluico-way has been scooped
,ut for Its course, advancing and retreatlng
n ways that seem arbitrary only because we
all TO comprehend the law OF Its on-going,
md calculate Its volume ana velocity and the
esistance 1t has to overcome. Every one OF
he elements that enter into Mr.. Hughes
General estimate of badness Is positive

In certain localities Of the Nord there exist.
an old belief that when two marriages take
place at the same time, the bride who leaves
the church before the ether will have a bow
for her first child. Two weddings were celc-
brated simultaneously few days back at
Arches, In that department. The ceremony
over, the two couples with their friends has
tened to reach the door, and arrived there
just at the same time. The situation became
embarrassing, for the two parties had stopped
and exchanged looks of defiance. Forth
nately, the mayor was man OF resources,
for he stepped forward, and, giving an arm
to each Of the young wives, took them ont
together, to the great relief Of all the friends
on both sides.
