Wild stories are being circulated about
Mrs Tilton having formerly made threats
to shoot persons found on her farm, and
especial reference is made to an article
she had published in the STANDARD. In
order to show just what she did say, we
re-publish the communication, from the
STANDARD of June %, 1871:
IA WARNING TO THIEVES.
"7o all achom it may concern, and there's in
particular
as there any law against shooting
thieves? Law or no law, l intend to
shoot the first man, woman, boy or girl,
l catch stealing my berries, fruit, or any
thing else inside my enclosure. My son,
j. NJ. Tilton, has given me what grows
on the farm for taking care of it till sold.
(AndI should have no trouble if there
were no thieves.) Mothers of the present
day have proved themselves the curse of
our nation. By their training comes liars,
thieves, highwaymen and murderers.
Children are apt scholars, if the .mother
is a liar, tattler, ETC., the children soon
learn; and as lying is the stepping-stone
to all other crimes, the person who will
tell willful lie, will steal, will rob, OBJ
tain goods under false pretenses, will
murder if necessary to obtain his or her
ends. Now who is responsible for the
trainining up of children? Who trained
Washington? We have no Washington
mothers now.
Fathers do but little towards forming
the minds of their sons and daughters.
Their time being employed in business
to make living for his wife and family
that is if he is a sober industrious man
Therefore the mothers are responsible
for the training of their children, before

The Democrats have much sympathy
for the murdered filibusters. Nowon-
der. Those who were not Spaniards
were regular rebels. The Cincinnati Ga
zette few days ago gave some account of
the commander of this vessel which
sported the American flag. The Gazette
says:
"a SPECIMEN FILIBUsTER.
"The Chicago Tribune printed yesterday
letter written eleven years ago by its
financial editor, then a correspondent of
the St. Louis Democrat, describing the
capture of Fort st. Charles. The letter
derives its immediate interest from the
revelation it makes of the character of
the late Capt. Fry, of the Virginius. The
letter gives the details of the attack
made on the fort, then under charge of
Capt. Fry. Among other gunboats that
took part in the assault was the Mound
City. A 42 pound shot from one of the
batteries of the fort struck the Mound
City, killing five or six men and break
! ing large hole in the steam drum Many
of the crew were instantly suffocated, but
fifty or sixty jumped into the river The
correspondent then proceeds as follows:
1.-THE Conestoga Immediately came up
and sent out two boats to pick them up.
One of the Mound City's boats was also
launched by Masters Mate Simmes
Brown, one of the few officers who was
not seriously hurt. During this time
both gunboats and the small boats were
drifting down the river. AS the Mound
City drifted near the shore, near the low
er battery, a sortie was made from the
battery, which some supposed to be an
attempt on the part of the enemy to
board the Mound City, but which after
wards proved to be for the purpose of
firing on the scalded men in the river,
which the prisoners say they did at the
command of Capt Fry The field pieces
of the lower battery were also turned up
on the boats that were picking up the
wounded, and a twelve pound shot
knocked away the bows of one of the Con-
estoga's boats. Many were hit by the
| firing and sunk before the boats could
reach them, and only 27 out of the Mound
City's crew of $50 answered to their
names at the calling of the roll, and
were all that escaped unhurt.'
"The fort was taken, and so was Fry.
The writer then says:
"'Col. Fitch was so exasperated at
the murderous fire that had been poured
upon the scalded men who were strug-
Cling in the water that, when he came on
board the Conestoga, where Col. Fry was
a prisoner, he reproached him bitterly
for his inhuman conduct in giving the
order, and asked him to compare his own
conduct with our course toward them
only ten days before, at Memphis, when
all of the small boats belonging to the
nearest of our gunboats were sent out
to help save the drowning crew of their
gunboat Gen. Lowell. He told him that
being prisoner was now his protection
but, if justice were done him, he would
be hanging to the nearest tree before
night, Fry at first denied that he had
given the order; but, on being confront
ed with some of his own men, who per-
sisted in saying he had given the or
der, he became silent.

The Cuban filibusters recently held a
meeting in New York City, to aid in stir
ring up the war excitement Among
others, they invited Charles Sumner to
attend He could not be present, but he
sent them letter to be read at the meet
ing They suppressed the letter, as the
truth, and the opinion of one of the
ablest living statesmen npon the law of
nations, was not what they wanted. Here
is Senator Summers letter:
"BosToN, Nov 16, 1873.
"Gentlemen:
at is not in my power to be with you
at your meeting to ask for Justice in
Cuba Allow me to add that longing for
immediate emancipation in this neigh
boring island where slavery still shows
its infamous front, and always insisting
that delay is contrary to justice, do not
think it practicable at this moment on
existing evidence to determine all our
duties in the recent case where civiliza-
ton has received shock. 1t is very easy
to see that no indignation at the dread
full utchery-inconsisten with the spir-
it of the age, but unhappily aroused by
an illicit fillibustering expedition from
our own SnOreS, klnQred TO that OF the
Alabama, for which England has been
justly condemned in damages-can make
US forget that we are dealing with the
Spanish nation, struggling under terrible
difficulties to become a sister Republic,
and therefore deserving from us present
forbearance and candor. Nor can we for
get the noble President whose eloquent
voice, pleading for humanity and invok-
ing our example, has so often charmed
the world. The Spanish Republic and
Emilio CASTELAR, do net deserve the men
ace of war from US.
"If watchwords are needed now, let
them be: Immediate emancipation and
justice in Cuba" Success to the Spanish
Republic" Honor and gratitude to En-
lilo CASTELAR," and peace between our
two nations" Bearing this in mind,
there will be no occasion for the belliger-
ant preparations of the last few days,
adding to our present burdensome ex-
penditures several millions of dollars,
and creating war fever to interfere with
the general health of the political body.
am, gentlemen, your faithful servant

LIVELY DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

"The Democratic caucus, Saturday
night, resulted in strong Endorsement
by the majority of the back pay measure,
which caused the withdrawal of Cox, of
New York, Holman, of Indiana, and
Milton Sayler, Southard, and Jewett, of
Ohio. Mr.. Holman introduced resolu-
ton condemning the back pay and all
who took it, and put forward Mr.. Cox as
an anti-salary candidate for Speaker. Mr..
Eldridge denounced Holman as dema-
gogue, and applied bitter epithets of a
personal character Mr.. Holman replied
that Eldridge was too much creature
of the Board of Public Works to lecture
anybody present For one moment the
row bid fair to become general, but was
quieted by the bolt of the above named
members. The caucus then proceeded to
show its appreciation of Holman's mo-
ton by nominating Fernando Wood for
Speaker, who, when the salary bill was
about to fail when on its final passage,
rose and changed his vote from the neg
tive to the affirmative. There is grea
dissatisfaction to-day among Democrats
at the result, and the position in which
they find themselves, as fully indorsing
the back pay when it was fairly present.

An English Picture.

Some striking revelations, which, un- happily, compare favorably with the condition of some New York tenement houses in the Fourth Ward, reach us from country village in Dorsetshire, England. A laborer of that place was summoned for nuisance, owing to the filthy condition and obscene habits of himself and family. The cottage which he occupied consisted of two small rooms, each about nine feet square. Both had no fre-places, and but one small window; in the lower room the upper an indescribably filthy blanket and chaff mattress, which was shared by the defendant and his grown-up son and daughter. It may be eonjectured what was the morality of people living under such conditions, and few ques- tions from the testimony will sufficient ly illustrate the ignorance of the girl:- The Chairman (to the prisoners daugh- ter, a wretched girl in rags): How old are you? Prisoner: I don't know. The Chairman (to the prisoner): How old is she? Prisoner: I don't know; she's called Maria; but she's never been to school. MT. Bell: believe she is about IS years of age. The Rev. Carr J. Glyn (to the girD: Would you like to lead a better life if we get you a place? Girl: No. The Chairman; Cannot you get a lodging somewhere else? :? Girl: No. Prisoner: Yes, you can; I'll get you lodgings and pay for them. The cause of the wretched case, however, was not their poverty, since the father and son were earning good wages. Such case of crime and de- pravity is disgrace to England.

Stuck with his Cargo.

An American ship, the Kingin, went into Singapore with 1,70o coolies on board. Her captain Deville) was to receive $10, ,000 on delivery of his cargo there; but, the $1O, 900 not being forth coming on his arrival, he prudently concluded to hold the coolies as collat- eral.
 After two weeks trial ne finds it Q rather troublesome job. His steamer is broiling under a tropical sun, reeking and fuming with 1, 700 cookies on board, some above decks, some below, swarm ter in buckets to cool themselves, and, sweltering heat, they commenced jump ing overheard to try and swim ashore, and thus escape the torments to which they were subjected on board. The persevering captain, determined to maintain his hold on his collateral till his $1O, 600 is paid, applied to the Uni ted States Consul for aid, but in vain. He had no authority to aid him in col lecting his debt or holding his slippery collateral. He soon surrounded his steamer with q fotilla of floating small craft to catch the flying, or rather swim ming, fugitives. As fast as they are picked up on one side they jump off on the other, till one is reminded by the lively scene of the fisher boy with his apronful of the slippery fnny tribe--as fast as he picks up one another slips out, till the fun becomes positively ex- citing.
 It would really be amusing, a cores pondent writes, were 1t not so serious a matter. :.

A Feeling Tribute.

A Philadelphia editor thus relieves his mind on subject familiar to all newspaper offices-the inevitable Pub. Doc: "We owe our thanks to Judge Kelley for the latest Patent Office re- ports. We already have sixteen hun dred of these interesting volumes in our little library, but they have been read and re-read so many times that we know every page of them by heart. This new volume came opportunely and gratefully on Christmas morning, and that night we gathered our little family them The affecting tale entitled I'm provement in Monkey Wrenches, seemed to touch every heart, and when we came to the climax of the little story about Reversible Pieboards,' there was not dry eye between the front door and the stable. During the read ing of the piteous narrative entitled Gum Washers for Carriage Axles, the whole family gave expression to bois- terous emotion, and the hired girl was so much excited that she lost her pres ence of mind, and went around to her mothers inadvertently with six pounds of sugar and butter kettle full of flour, and came home at midnight in toxicated. We can never sufficiently thank Judge Kelley for the innocent enjoyment thus furnished us. The memory of that happy evening will finger in our minds very much longer than that hired girl ever fingers when she lights on lot of substance which she thinks will suit the constitution of her aged parents" .
