Mishaps of a PerseVering Young We
man.

A charming young lady of eighteen
summers, named Carrie L., of Warren,
paid a visit to this city a short time
since, and, on Saturday afternoon last,
she went to the depot of the Warren and
Venango road, intending to return home,
but arrived just in time to see the train
disappearing round the curve. Bent
upon reaching Warren that night, she
started out along the track with the view
of walking the entire distance. At 7
o'clock in the evening she arrived at
Newton, which is twelve miles from the
city, and upon reaching the middle of
the trestle-work at this point, she saw
the night train approaching to go on or
recede, o. step to one side, was impossi-
BILE, SO she jumped down into the chasm
twenty feet below. Fortunately the
ground wal covered with a snow-drift,
into which she sank up to her arm-pits,
thus breaking her fall and saving her
life. She did not scream or cry for help,
or anything of that sort, but quietly dug
herself out, and after half an hours
work regainedthe track and resumed her
journey. Two or three miles further ON
a still more serious obstacle presented
itself-the track was under water al far
as the eye could reach. Uponslooking
round she discovered a light in the
woods, and concluded that it must be a
house. This proved to be the case, and
the hospitable family, after hearing her
story, took her in and did everything in
their power for her comfort. The next
morning she took the train from Newton
for Warren, and arrived there in time
for dinner.-IStusUiWe Herald.

then called Dillon, the book-keeper of Ordway,
who had been called when the 81, 200 check
was first produced about two weeks ago, to
testify that he had not paid the check to MI;
Colfax, and had no remembrance of paying 1t
to any one He testified to-day that his i'm
| preston was that he had paid the 81, 200 check
to Mr.. Ames. He refused, however, to swear
that he remembered it, but would only say 1t
was his strong impression. At the evening
session Mr.. Colfax again denied receiving
1920, and also denied receiving the $6O.f3
interest on certificates which was entered on
Ames' book as paid to him. He then gave an
explanation of the 81 200 bank note deposit
5000 came from his step-father, Mr.. Matthews,
as part of debt due for piano purchased; Sl,OOO
of it was in a note of that denomination re
ceived by mail from q man named Nesbit in
New York who wrote, to congratulate him on
the nomination to Vice-Presidency and ten
dered him the money as a compliment. He
could not remember the exact date, as the
letter had not been preserved and Mr.. Nesbit
was dead and his executors had not been able
to find any record of the sum sent. Mr..
Matthews was sworn, and recolected
the 1 1000 bill being received in the
mail and exhibited at the breakfast table. No
date could be fixed other than approximately.
Th object of fixing the exact date was that
the explanation, as given, might have applied
as well to the deposit of about 81, 500 made
ton of Mr.. Colfax ended Ames was examined
in regard to Butler asking $40, 600 from the
Union Pacific Railroad as retaining fee for MIR.
Carpenter, of Wisconsin, to help elect him
Senator. Ames and Butler did not solicit this
money, intimating that Carpenter would be a
friend, and had a tongue in his head. Mr..
Burlington, of the House, was sworn, and tes-
titled that before Carpenters election to the
Senate, Butler told him (the witness) that
friends of Carpenter had sent down here to
obtain $40, 900 from the Union Pacific to help
elect Carpenter, but that Alley had objected.
Ames testified that he referred the matter to
the directors, and he felt sure the money had
not been paid.
The testimony taken in Philadelphia before
Hon. Jeremiah Wilson, Chairman of Ipyesti-
eating Committee No. 2, exonerates J. F.
Wilson, of Iowa, from all connection with the
$1,000 check, as sworn to by the witness
| Spence, and shows that the same was paid to
Thomas A. Scott, and was deposited by Scott
in the Girard Bank, of Philadelphia, to his
own credit.

A NEW DEPARTURE IN MEDICINE
There are ''new departures" in medicine
as well as in politics. The latest and
most successfu1of these is the bold move
ment of DIR. Joseph Walker, of Califor-
mia, who has actually had the effrontery
to produce a Vegetable Tonic and Re
storative, without any alcoholic basis,
which is curing disorders of the stomach,
liver, bowels, nerves and pulmonary or
gans, with a rapidity that fairly entities
him to the anathemas of the Old School
of Physicians, and the praise and conf
dence of the New! His CALIFORNIA VIM
EaAR BrrTERs may be safely pronounced
the most popular remedy of the age.
When it is considered that this now ia
nous specific was introduced some two
year ago, its present sale, which is at
the rate of 5000, 900 bottles per annum,
can only be ascribed to its intrinsic mer-
its. It is believed that the history of
"patent medicines" affords no example
of a success SO rapid and complete. The
community insists that this success is
thoroughly deserved, and we have noin-
elination to dispute it's dictum. The
Voice of the People, if not exactly that
of Omnipotence, is generally the voice of
Common Sense, and as they have had
ample time to take a sober second thought
on the subject, it may be assumed that,
in this instance, their opinion is credit
able to their sagacity.J[Com.

Prospect.
MADRID, Feb. liking Amadeus
persists in his determination to abdicate.
When it became known that the King
would certainly resign, groups gathered
in the streets, and there were some at
tempts at disturbance. The House of
Deputies, last night, decided that. the
President of that branch of the Cortes
and fifty Deputies should constitute a
permanent committee.
WASHINGTON Feb. 11.-Secretary Fish
this evening received the following dis
patch from Minister Sickles
cat 9 o'clock tonight the Cortes
adopted a Republican form of Govern
ment by a vote of 259 in the affirmative
and 80 in the negative"
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE abdication of
King Amadeus is the all-absorbing topic
in London and Paris. The view is con-
sidered gloomy, and bitter civil wal in
evitabIe. The last dispatch from Madrid
was dated 1 o'clock this morning. Moth
ing since has been received. The fail
ure of dispatches is regarded as
ominous.
The last dispatch says the streets are
now filed with crowds of excited people.
The Senate has appointed a permanent
Committee of Thirty. Senior Malcamps
and Admiral Topete, on behalf of Mar
shall Serrano, have offered their support
to Prime Minister Gorilla in maintain

It is rumored that Gorilla intends to
leave the capital tomorrow. Senior

TRANSMISSION OF INTEnLEcr.-No

TRANSMISSION OF INTELLEcT.-No
great man ever had a fool for his moth
er. In the history of men of all depart
ments of society distinguished for intel
lectual power, b~rilliancy, and extraordi-
n~ary.mental capacity, their mothers, and
not their fathers, as far as ascertained
by philosophical Investigations, were
invariably superior in brain force. IF
women are physically feeble the mind
cannot be developed as when all the
lection. To have great men there must
first be excellent women. Their dete-
rioration by the facilitating frivolities of
fashionable life are perpetuated in puny
children, incapable of sustaining them
selves prominently when their inherit
ance is gone.
