OF seeking bnblic position or notoriety; his
aim and eff ,rt were to promote and secure
the well-beiug and comfort OF his family.

ness. 70 appreciate MIR. Crawford fully,

though genial in society, it was in the home
circle that hia affections found full play
and contributed mvst to the happiness Of
loved ones; and i'll his abode. Kindness,
attention, hospitality, held sway. No mar.
We! he is missed and deplored in deepest
Briel aud intensest sense OF loss in the
circle where he delighted to dispense COM
fort and kindness and loving care; and in
this gentle and manly work he found his
own chief pleasure.
Mr.. Crawford gradually sank under pull
mnnary disease, which resulted III great
measure from exposure in camp during tho o
late war, where the firet call to arms found
him arrayca against the enemies OF his
country. battling for ths right aud against

spirited and high-minded; asaman. honest
and brave.

A CHINESE WAR. European cor
respondent writes that news has
reached Berlin that China has pushed
forward $4,000 picked troops to the
koBhgar frontier, and in addition
placed large garrisons in the towns of
Barkeret and Chanis. Troops have,
moreover, been concentrated in the
North, which can be readily made
available for war with Gasbgar. It is
proposed to attack the latter country
simultaneously from two sides. At
ST. Petersburg it is believed that in
that event Russia would at once come
to tho assistance of Cashgar, moro so
since China is known to be armed also
for war with Russia.

new pestilence has recently made
its appearance in Louisiana, where it
Is sweeping away the negro popula
ton as with the besom OF destruction.
The contagion is known there as the
spotted fever" nnd is more fatal. if
possible. than the yellow fever. The
disease is most viruleut in the sections
which we're overtlowed. aud where the
deposit is filled with pestileuce. The
people have not been able to put ou.
any crops, and they are in a pitiable
condition. The spotted fever, thus far,
has been confined almost entirely to
blacks, and oil the whites who can are
fleeing the country, and will remain
away until the contasion disappears.
INVADING INDIAN RESERVATIONS. =
The New York World charges that
General Custer, by his present
expedition, las committed an un-
warranted violation Of the stipulation
making the Black Hills region the in
violable domain of the Indians. his
object being the discovery of rich de-
posits Of gold. Whether valuable de.
posits of gold have been discovered,
remains to be ascertained; but how
ever valuable they may prove. they
will hardly compensate for the de-
struction Of life and property pro-
voked in other quarters by the wanton
Invasion of this reservation.
Some horrible details of the famine
in Turkey are given. In ono district
tivc thousand persons have perished.
The dogs do not seem to have been
utilized by the starving people; on the
contrary, those animals are feeding on
the bodies of the dead. The Moham-
medan religion has probably stood be-
tween Fido and the sufferers. It's
power must be very great when fam
ishing people die rather than violate
it by putting their worthless dogs to
the only good use that eau be nude OF
them.

occurred in Philadelphia, recently, be-

The United States Senate, on the
2lst, unanimously confirmed the
nomination of Morrison r.. Waite, OF
Ohio, for Chief Justice. His nomi-
nation is said to have been mainly
due to the recommendation sent to
the President by the members OF the
Ohio Constitutional Convention,
which was in session at Cincinnati at
The time Of the withdrawal of Cush-
ing's name. Jadge Waite was the
President of this convention; and
the receipt Of the news of his nomi-
nation was the occasion Of great ap-
pIause there. This unexpected choice
gives general satisfaction. He was

Last Thursday afternoon, after
protracted sessions of the caucuses Oi
both parties, a plan for the organiza-
tion Of the House WAS agreed upon,
as offered by. Mr.. Kelley, Of Mitchell,
in the Republican caucus, as follows
1.-The Republicans to be allowed
the choice of Speaker.
2-The Anti-MonUpolists to have
all officers except Speaker.
2-The Chairman of each Standing
Comiaittre to he n Republican, the
membership Of each committee TO he
equally divided between the two
parties.
4--The Anti M0nOpolists to have
the Chairman and u majority Oh each

1t is a noticeable fact. that in the

Iowa Legislature over the Speaker
ship, the opposition forces are mar
shaled and controlled by such old
whpel-horsrs nf Democracy as Camp

seemed clear to these gentlemen that
NIL the eleInents of the present Gen

Ia the regular Republican nominees,
rightfully belonged to the powers
engaged in r~organizing the Demo-
cratic party on more popular basis.
Therefore, while in the election party
claims and party loyalty were very
much deriled, party rule was never
more vigorously enforced than by
these gentlemen I'm the contest at
