The TickbO1ne MystelU

They lave an old English sailor on the
island OF Hilo, one of the Sandwich Is
lands, who says he buried Sir Roger
Tichborne with his own hands on de-
sert island in 1855. He says Sir Roger
was sick, and was placed under his care
on the island Of Sydeny, in the South Pa
chic .Ocevn, to remain there while the
vessel by which he (Sir Roger had been
picked up at sea in small boat, returned
with n cargo, bel 1g in quest of biche de
mer whatever that is. Before the vessel
returned Tichbornc died, after asking
his nurse, George Claridge by name, to
procure q quill from one of the birds on
the island, with which the sick man wrote
something, using bird blood for ink, on q
piece Of paper in his possession, giving it
to Claridge and telling him to have the
contents OF the paper made known if he
ever again reached civilization. Claridge,
who could not read, some time after gave
the paper to a New Bedford sailor boy
named Nansell to copy, telling him to
make the facts of the case know at the
first opportunity. Upon Icing recently
shown a copy OF the Illustrated London
Ners containing the pictures Of the Itch
borne family Claridge at once pointed out
the picture of Sir Rodger, saying, this is
the man / buried" Should his state.
ment be true, they would do much jus.
tify the action of the jury in the trial Of
Orton, the Tichborne claimant, who is
now undergoing a sentence for perjury.

WILMINGTON. DEL.. NOV. IL 1874
youorsss--Its Meat Session.

SON0t ANSSe CSoosOsss
Tho short and last session of the 43d
Congress commences ON the first Monday
Of next month. 1t can hardly be expect
ed that the expiring Republican party
will be able to get through the session
without quarrel, if not complete rup-
ture. 1t is quite possible that the terri
bio censure that has been inflicted upon
its leaders in Congress by the people msy
crystalize them moro firmly together.
But this is not likely. On the contrary
it is more than probable that such men
as Butler and Dawes in the House, and
Carpenter and Morton in the Senate,
will differ widely as to the causes of the
late defeat; and as they are about to
take final leave of the national halls,
they will more than likely speak pretty
plainly Neither will these gentlemen
allow all in their own party to escape GEN.
sure. We may therefore witness break
ing up of the old party war lines even
before the 4tth Congress assemblies. The
House will not meet until the 1st Of De-
cember, 1875, unless called together by
the President. But it is assuredly Dem
ocratic by majority ranging from sixty
five to eighty. The Senate will reassem-
ble no doubt on the 4th of March next
for the consideration of Executive bust
ness. IF such q rupture should take
place as we have limited at, it may be
that when the Senate reassembles it too
will show an opposition majority. If so,
then the 4ith Congress will be entirely
under the control of the Democrats and
will be enabled to commence reform at
once in the affairs of the Government
and lay out more economical iystem
One Of the first duties, however, that it
owes the country is to ferret out the
abuses Of trust and power and show
them up to the people. Investigations
with this object SHOULD be thorough; and
if the hands Of the Executive are not
tarnished he will himself, as he is in du-
ty bound to do. afford aid and cncour-
agement in this direction.

A Notable Demonstration.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. l1.---One of
the most notable features of the grand
demonstration last night was the num-
Der Of United States flags on public and
private buildings. Every man who could
make, beg or borrow star spangled BAN
ner had one floating from his house, and
all were greeted with cheers by the peo-
ple-fifteen thousand in number. 1t was
the grandest union demonstration in the
South since the war.
Some negroes were going about select
ing new masters, under the impression
that they are to be sold again into slnve-
ry. The whites in vain endeavored to
reassure them. The conservative bla k5
mingled with the whites in the pro .
sion last night. All rejoice together. 4 AZ

From the Tew York Tribune Nov. 10.
The Coming Crists OF the Re-
publican PARTY n

There is no longer any reasonable
doubt that the President instead of
learning wisdom from the overwhelm-
ing defeat of his party, is gradually
coming to the belief that thcsuccess of
the Democracy was personal tribute
to himself The Interpretation of his
conduct which we suggested yesterday
is promptly approved correct by his
special organ in this city. "After the
Cabinet meeting yesterday" says the
inspired chronicle of the court, "the
=" President expressed himself more at
=" length on the third term than he has
" ever condescended to do heretofore
" without renouncing any such idea on
" his part. He said that careful ex-
4" animation of the return in the differ
" ent States showed conclusively that
/" the people in renderingtheir verdicts
by the wild and senseless cries on
I" this subject which had filed the air
" for months past. He pointed to what
" he considered two notable instancesin
proof of his assertion. The South
" Carolina Republican Convention had
-" emphatically pronounced for him a
third term, and its candidate for Go
" "vernor had been triumphantly cleo
I" ted in the face of all the odds against
him. On the other hand, in the Uti-
" ca district of New York, where the
" Republicans had always bad an over
whelming preponderance, Mr.. Ellis
/" II, Roberts insisted upon the Con
Z" gressional Convention which nomi-
" mated him pronouncing against the
" third term, and he was defeated. :"
The President "does not for one in
!" slant saction the idea that his policy
" or his personal acts have contribu-
" ted in any degree to the party's de-
" feat"
Gen. Grants position being thus Of
ficially defined, it becomes important
for the country to know what attituce
will be assumed by the party OF which
Gen. Grant is the recognized leader
For we have reached the dividing OF
the ways, where the party and the
President must choose their respective
roads, and either go along together
whittier the blind ambition of Gen.
Grant is leading him, or else part
company forever. tits impossible to
hesitate and procrastinate any longer.
The events of last week must have
convinced even the stanchest adherents
of the Administration and the blindest
and most bigoted Of partlsans that the
discussion which they deprecated as
premature was vital issue in politics
before the election, and the president
now assures us that it is vital issue
STILL If the Republicans lack the cou-
rage to thwart their leaders inclinations
the Opposition will take the job into
its own hands and make an end of
Grant and his party together.

IMPORTANT TO DEMOCRATS,

In less than two years from this time
the country will be convulsed with one
of the most important election campaigns
that it has ever witnessed. 1t is anne
eessary to refer to any leading issue that
will divide the parties. 1t is simply
enough for us to know that the one par
~ represents the extravagant classes
hat have fed upon and grown fat by
class legislation, and the other repre-
sents palmer class Of people who des-
pise the heavy and unequal taxation that
is imposed upon the country.
1t is important, therefore, that the
Democratic party, which has announced
itself as opposed in toto to the legisla.
tion Of the last several Radical Congress.
es, should at once commence more
thorough and complete system of organ.
ization. In fact now is the very time
tha. this matter should be looked to-
for now is the time in which men arc

young men in each of the school districts
and the wards Of the city hold meeting:
and appoint committees competent te
see that every Democrat is assessed ane
properly enrolled on the list of voters.
Let tho clubs be reorganized or con
tinued where they exist and where there
are no clubs let them be formed, and thu

A Remarkable Case of Absent-Minded-
ness.

If premium were offered (says the
Baltimore Gazette of recent date)
for TIE most absent-minded man
in Baltimore, it would without doubt
be awarded to DIR. Friedenwald, of
North Eutaw street. On Friday morn
ing last Dr. Friedenwald called at
the Western station-house and stated to
Lieut.. Fitzgerald the officer in charge,
that his horse and buggy had been stolen
from in front of his residence Such
thefts are not unfrequent, and the Lieu
tenant at once notified the other districts
by telegraph Of the robbery, describing
the doctors team, as is customary. The
doctor then departed, but in an hour or
two returned, and, finding that nothing
had been heard of his team, visited the
Marshal's office, who had inquiries at
once made by telegraph to know
if the horse had been found in
any of the districts, but received
negative reply. DIR, Friedenwald
was in quite an excited mood,
and, after requesting the Marshal to place
the matter in the hands ofsthe detectives,
took his departure in a carriage he had
procured for pressing purposes. A couple
of hours later message was received by
Lieut.. Fitzgerald that the doctor had re-
covered his team, and upon inquiry the
following amusing denouement was
made: DR.. Friedenwald was called to
visit a patient on Howard street in the
morning, and drove there in his buggy
which he left standing in front of the
house. After prescribing the necessary
nostrums the doctor walked quietly out
forgetting his horse and buggy. He did
not discover his loss for an hour later,
Il Al
that it had been stolen. After it had
been standing where he left it about three
hours some one sent word to him. The
story of the doctors absent-mindednes
soon circulated, and considerable merri-
ment was created at his expense. The
man who failed to detect the where
abouts of his spectacles on his nose was
nothing, in point of Observation-Disclosures
to DR.. Friedenwald.

A Newly-Disc0vered Nation.

THE campaign of Gen. Crook against
the Apaches last year opened to research
a tract of land 200 miles square, which is
rich in relies of our country's unknown
past. 1t contains chain of ancient
cities in ruins and coterie of ancient
towns still inhabited by race which
holds itself aloof from Indian and Mexi-
can and American, prides itself on it's
descent from the ancient inhabitants of
the country, and maintains religion and
a government both of which are pecul
lar to itself. We are indebted to Can't
w. G. Manning, of the regular army, for
the facts in our possession concerning
this newly discovered race Capt. Man
ming, who was with Gen Crook during
the whole campaign, and was recon-.
mended for promotion by the latter on
account of gallantry in the field, ex-
plored in the intervals of fighting. He
visited the inhabited towns, talked with
their rulers, and informed himself con-
corning their customs.
The largest settlement is in New Mex
leo, about thirty miles south of the bor-
der-llne. 1t is a type of the rest. A
strong wall surrounds it. Within are
houses for about 1000 people. The pop
ulation has dwindled, however, to about
l $780, The place was mentioned bv a
Spanish Jesuit who published, in 1899,
a description of his wanderings in Ameri-
ca. About 1886 another Jesuit wrote a
minute account of it. This account is

Garden Chickens.

THOSE who do not know the luxury of
fresh-laid eggs, or the tender pleasures
of eating good spring chicken, cannot
imagine why so many people who might
have beautiful wards and handsome
flowers, give up everything for lot of
chickens. Yet much as we. sympathize
with the chicken-fancier in many cases,
we do not know that we would have one
about if it were to be at the expense of a
beautiful lawn and garden and all those
natural beauties which make life In the
country so sweet. But our country folks,
those of them who read agricultural
papers, and thus have more than the
average share of intelligence, do have
much trouble with the chicken question.
Somehow they manage to keep the gar
den quite private from the birds when
ever they wish to do so, and thus In adj
dition to the chicken stews and omelettes
have an abundance of vegetables to
eat, and flowers in profusion to decorate
the sitting-room or dining-table. The
gardens are surrounded by laths neatly
whitewashed, or by wire deftly arranged
to keep feathered intruders out, and thus
both ends are made to meet wisely and
well.
1t is wonderful how the practical minds
of country girls get over the common
chicken difficulties Some with scores
of fowls running round will have beds
of beautiful flowers on lawns in front Of
the windows, where the average mind
would give up in despair. We knew
one once whose plan of operation was
very simple and yet very successful.
Her theory was that the fowls only
wanted dust; and all that was necessary
was to keep the fowls off for a short time
till the earth had lost it's dust-like char
acter. AS soon as the soil was dug up
for the f1Ower-beds in the spring, half
circles of straight branches were ar
ranged like wicker-work around the beds,
which served the double purpose of a
guard and an ornament. The flowers
planted, the twiggy matter cut from the
branches round the edges was neatly
placed between the flowers, completely
covering the newly stirred earth, and bid
ding defiance to all scratching tendencies
on the part of her feathered friends.
After rain and the ground became set,
the brushy matter was taken away. Once
in while when the ground would be
loosened or welded, and there would be
danger of an incursion of the feathered
enemies, the branches would be placed
on duty for while till the temptation
was over.
Of course people in the respectable
suburbs of large cities will not need these
remarks. 1t would not suit in any of
these circumstances to have chicken
running around loose The fancy chick
en- house is the only place for them. But
farther in the country the hints may
prove of service. In no condition of life
is the principle that where there is will
there is way more evident than in the
way some country-folk manage, by SIM
pie contrivances like those we have
named, to have all the flowers they need,
and as good a garden as they could de-
sire, without serious annoyance from the
chicken trouble Germantown Telegraph.
