The Kansas Bribery Scandal.

The investigation by a committee of Congress
into the charges that the Radical Senator Cald-
well, OF Kansas was elected to the T. s. Senate is
now in progress in Washington On Friday Hon
Sidney Clarke, late member of the House from
Kansas, testified as follows:
He said that after Senator Caldwell came TO
Washington he told HIM (Clarkel that his election
cost him $4,000 in money; that the Kansas Pa
cine Railroad had promised to pay part of his ex-
PenseS' and had net come Up to their promises I;
that he (CaldwelD was watching them, and when
they came to Washington asking for legislation
he was going to try to squeeze 1t out OF them.
Mr. Clarke further went on then to speak of Kan
as politics, plcturing a condition OF sclndalous
prohigAcy and demOralization almost if not quite
unparalleled in the history OF American politics
lie further said that among others with whom he
talked was Levi I. Smith, the business partner
OF caldwell who said they were bound to have
the election, if it cost them S2j0O00 Caldwell
was regarded in Kansas a speculator; he haC
NO regular business his general character as
man was such as to suggest suspicious of corrup

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday last,
ing Hardman's Switch, near NeWberg, West
Virginia, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
the engineer noticed the fireman, Mr.. Joseph
MahOney, take poker and 90 to the furnace
of the engine, and not seeing or hearing hin
again went to see if anything was wrong,
when fearful sight met his Mortified gaze.
Dragging along the track was the bruised
and bleeding body of the fireman, firmly held
by the feet which had caught on the connect
ing pipe between the engine and tender, in
which position he had been dragged about q
quarter of a mile. The engineer drew the
unfortunate man into the tender and stopped
the train asquickly as possible. Mr.. MahoneN
was found to be very seriously and, it is
thought, fatally injured. How he fell from

The shoemakers Of Massachusetts are many
OF them idle at present, not by reason Of strike
on their part, but on account Of what is praCti
cally strike by the leather manufacturers. The
latter on the strength of the destruction Of stock
by the Boston fire, and an increased foreign
demand since the German. French war, have
insisted on an advance in prices which the boot
and shoe manufacturers were ready to cOncede,
provided they could be assured that their Gus.
toners would submit to a corresponding rise OF
prices for boots and shoes This the dealers from
the South and West have failed to do, and many
large customers of Mass slchusetts manufacturers
from those sections of the country who had visi-
ted the State to make their purchases Tor the
spring trade, took their departure without leav.
ing their customary orders. The consequences
is that IN many of the large shoe towns the
shops are closed, or working only to a part o
their capacity, and great numbers of workmer
have been thrown out of employment.

Scientific Lectures at Dover.


On Thursday night, the eminent surgeon, DR..
Charles ID Green, of Philadelphia, gave an able
and learned discourse to the legal profession on
the operations of the brain ana nervous system,
the mind in health and disease.
Some of his illustrations of phenomena of mind
were not only interesting, but those of dislOca-
tions of memory were truly astonishing For so
abstruse a subject to be made ineligible rs the
one on Thursday night must require long labor
of study to make such intricate matter familiar to
other minds, and DIR. Green's well stored mind
| seems not to labor in impartng the subject t.
| others, words flowing freely aud rapidly and al
| times growing truly eloquent. 1t requires mind
| OF no common order to appreciate lectures like
| these, on the science of mind
The Doctor in his learned address stated by
mans educating or cultivating his will, in pre-
venting moral insanity--if this be true it wOuIC

ject, and shall wait with anxiety to hear him
