MURDrR AT PoTosI.-A friend has
handed us a letter from which we
CLEAN the following particulars of a
murder which took place at Potosi on
Saturday last:
Two brothers named Turner were
mining about mile below Po.osi-
one at the bottom of shaft and the
other at the wlndlass. While thus en-
gagged. another brother, known in that
vicinity as 6 Crazy Turner" came up
with an ak, and in an unguarded mo-
ment sprang upon his brother and
chopped his head Oft and threw it in
to mineral hole close by The broth
er at the bottom of the hole hearing
the noise and suspecting that some
thing was wrong, climbed up the rope
and when within three feet of the TOP
was accosted by lis crazy brother who
informed him what he lad done and
made him promise that he would not
expose him, threatening to kill him
if he did not Immediately come to
terms. He promised and by this
means succeeded in getting out alive
but of course took the first opportuni-
ty to escape and inform the authorities
an d procure his brothers arrest. This
man Turner has shown symptoms oil
insanity for a number of yeare, and il
is strange that he was not properly
taken care Of long ago.-Grant 60

Tweed at the Penitentiary i.

TUE RUMoRs IN REFERENCE TO HIS ILL
CHIEF AN ORDERLY OF THE HOsPIT-
AL.
A number of sensational rumors
concerning the condition of VIM. Nj.
Tweed, have been set afoat since his
confinement in the Penitentiary. 1t
had been asserted that he had become
crazed, and that he was seriously ill
and dying. A Times Reporter visited
Blachwell's Island on Tuesday land made
investigation into the truth of these
statements, 1t was ascertained that
Tweed had been slightly indisposed,
but was much better, if not in good
health Tuesday afternoon. When he
was conveyed to the Peniteuitary he
lrred with him a certificate of his
family physician, testifing that he was
suffering from howell complaint, but
DIR. Mcdonald, the surgeon in charge,
after an examination, decided that he
was not fit subject for hospital treat
ment. On Sunday last he was assign
ed to duty as an orderl in the Peni-
tenitary Hospital. His duty in this
position is to nurse the sick. Two
prisoners are Usually detailed to duty
ir the hospital as orderlies. Tweed is
a subaltern, acting as assistant to a
prisoner who is serving out term Of
four months for stealing a through
railroad ticket via. the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, to San Francisco.
As an hospital orderly, Tweed is al
lowed the freedom Of a large and
cheerful room, about 80 or 20 feet long
and 80 feet wide. Here he sleeps and
eats with the sick prisoners, his diet
being the ordinary prison fare. His
superior officer" if he may be SO call
cd, is represented by Mr.. Lisconb,
the Warden of the Penitenitary, to be
a man of education and respectable
family, who was unaccountably driven
into the commission Of criminal act.
When this prisoners term expires
Tweed will probably be promoted to
his position as full orderly. Richard
M. Tweed, the prisoners son, has
visited his father every day since his
confinement, and was with him for
short time Tuesday, By the requla-
lions of the Prison the family of an
innate has a right to visit him once
month, or oftner if specially permit
ted ty the Commissioners of Charities
and Correctlony. Tweed, it is said b.
the prison authorities. has appeared to
be much dishcartened since his con.
inement, but on Tuesday he was a
little more cheerful.

LARoR PRODUCES WEALTH-In one
Of the central towns in Ohio, during
the late campaign, Senator Thurman
expressed these sentiments upon the
value and effects of labor
There can be no production OF
wealth in a country except by labor,
There is no way under the sun known
TO man by which one dollar re addod to
tele wealth of the country except by
labor. This is a principle that every
political economist recognizes. 1t is the
Fundamental principle Of political eco :
nomy. A dozen men in this beauti-
iul town of yours may speculate with
each other the whole year round, and
some Of them may grow rich out of
their speculations and the others may
become Impoverished, but they do not
add single dollar to the wealth of
the country. A man may be great
capitalist and live. on the interest he
draws from his capital. and from that
alone, and do nothing whatever of
eitkeflmanual or intellectual labor,
and may grow rich day By day, but he
edds not one cent to the wealth of the
country. No. my friends, he does not
benefit the country half as much as the
poor boy that follows his fathers pillow,
and drops grsins of corn into the fur
row, for those grains Of corn will
spring up and become lofty stalks and
bear their yellow fruit ; to the wealth
of the country and therefore it may
be said that as all the wealth OF the
country comes from laber, the laboring
man is fairly entitled to have voice
in the government for which he la
bors.

One of the Virginius Victims.

The Washington Chronicle says:
;sWe are advised by the gentleman
to whom the above letter was written
that Harris went to Cuba on the Vir-
ginius with no purpose of interfering
in the contest now going on there but
on private business. He was well
known in this city where he has many
warm friends, who esteemed him for
his generous and open nature. Dur
ing the late war Harris acted as
Union scout, and rendered valuable
service to the country. His wife and
children reside in Iowa"

The editor Of the louisiana Mo.
Press, in relating what he knows about
farming, touches up the hog question
in this style ITO make Berkshire
pigs out of your hazel splitter, select
a cool day, stand them on their hams
tied to saplin, and drive their noses
back into their shoulders, leavin g
about an inch protruding. If you
look at the agricultural papers. you
will see that all blooded hogs are fixed
that way. IF you have any whose
noses are longer than the rest of the
body, better sell them to an arteslan
well company for drills, as you cannot
drive the nose back without telescope
ing the whole pig. When you cut up
hogs, cut the ham square, leave some hair
to, salt everlastingly, and they will be
worth several cents less per pound
then when trimmed and cured SO that
a Christian can eat them"

In to-day's issue OF the True NonrHERxEn
win be found a card of Henry j. Kellogg. the
present incumbent OF the Office OF Ccanty Su-
perintendent of Schools, in which he endeavors
to answer certain statements which he claims
were put In circulation by Mr.. William Ander-
son OF Decatur. This part OF the matter OF
the grievance OF Mr.. kellogg we leave to Mr..
Anderson to answer. But to that branch of
the card in which Mr.. Kellogg plays the martyr
and claims. by implication. that he WAS beaten
out Of denomination to the Office OF County
Superintendent of Schools, we have q trifie of
comment to bestow.
IL is, or ought to be- known to Mr.. Kellogg
that the people have come to regard the Office
Of Cosnty Superintendent as q failure. 1t was
IDsusuratsd ss an experiment. and after trial
OF several terms 1T has been found to increase
the amount to be collected from the tax-paying
people without yielding corresponding benefit
to the schools. They (the people) believing
that the experiment had been tried for a sufi-
cenf length Of time n bring out te excellencies,
IL it had any, and having proven nearly barren
lof good results sent large petitions to the Leg
islature for the repeal of the law, or its modi-
fcation. Tho people believe that the visitation
feature OF the law is almost, or quite, useless
when reduced to practice,-that the majority
OF the schools can not receive visit from the
Superintendent in season to be OF service-that
q school to be materially benefited by visitation
must receive the visit within The first three
weeks Of the term.
The people also believe that Mr.. Kellogg has
been too Industrious he has practically
put in every day, for which he, Of course, re-
ceived pay-that too much time has been spent
where no good could result from 1t is conceded
by some Of Mr.. Kelloge's warmest supporters.
For these (mere allusions) and other reasons
the people desire q change, and carried out
that desire through their delegates and did make
a change.
Mr.. Kellogg has no right to complain because
be was not renominated. His 'work was be-
fore the people," and on examination they
thought he had done too much OF some kinds
in the past, and saw no prospect of his doing
less il TIC future and 30 concluded to make
change and try the fifth man in this recently
created Office.
The matter between Mr.. Kellogg and Mr..
Anderson bad no effect on the nomination
whatever, for the came story was told at the
time Mr.. Kellogg was nominated, and II the
charge isslander now, it was no less so then ;
yet two years have been allowed to elapse and
no effort made to set the matter right, or call
Mr.. Anderson to account. We give no more
credence to the story now than we did two
years ago, and do not believe that any body
else does.
The matter looks as though this question Of
"villainy" or honesty" was raised just at
this particular time simply for effects simple
cry Of persecution for the purpose of securing
votes for the " Peoples Servant, Henry j..

passenger ON the down train from the north
to-day, on the Grand Rapids and Indiana Rail-
road, gives rs the following particulars of Q
difficulty occurring on the train between certain
passengers and conductor Rankin: When the
train reached Cedar Springs Station large
number Of passengers crowded into the car,
headed by Mr.. Barber. Not finding seats, they
filled the aisle and found standing room as
best they could, and when the conductor came
along they refused to give up their tickets
which they had purchased at the station, til
provided with seats, the seats being alreads
full. The conductor urged, but without avail
and they were too many for him to think OF
resorting to force.
On arriving at Rockford the cars were run
upon the side track, and the train waited there
an hour and half, or thereabout, the conduct
or telegraphing to Superintendent Wallen, IN
this city, for instructions. The reply directed
him to procure the arrest OF the obstinate pas.
sengers. That, however he was unable to do,
and II was reported that no magistrate could
be found there who would issue warrant
also that an officer who was on the train de.
clared that he would not arrest Barber and his
friends. A man supposed TO be deputy sheriff
appeared there and going to Mr.. Barber told
him he had orders for his arrest. "By whose
authority7" asked Barber. ''By direction of
Mr.. Wallen, said the deputy. Mr.. Barber re-
piled that he recognized no such authority, and
presently another officer appeared armed with
q warrant which had been procured there, and
arrested the Deputy Sheriff. Our informant
says an empty car was this morning sent up to
Cedar Springs to accommodate the extra pas
sengors. but that IL was soonflled. and ther o
we're besldes some 30 or sc who could not get
seats. 1t would seem that the refractory pas
sengers had determined upon their course be-
fore entering the cars. and were determined to
stand by each other and demand seats, and not
give up their tickets till seats were furnished.
The end of the affair is not yet, and Il is caus-
ng great deal of excatement. Full and exact
particulars could not be obtained to-day up to
he hour Of going TO press.--Grsnd Rapids
