Ng~ On Friday morning, Nov. goth, fire
at Brookvlle, Pa, destroyed the Office of the
Republican newspaper of that town, the pro
thing except their books and papers. The
outside pages of the paper had been printed
when the destroyer came, and the half printed
sheet was sent out in which was inclosed a
small circular announcing that the suspension
will only be temporary, and that they will
resume the publication of their paper as soon
as new material, &C., can he procured. The
Republican is good paper, and its publishers
we take it, are live men, who do not become
disheartened by such visitations. They have
our sympathies and best wishes for their fu-
ture prosperity.

The Board of canvassers for the State of
Kentucky have declared Thomas L. Jones, re-
Gently elected Clerk of the Court of Appeals of
that State, Ineligible on account of his having
taught duel about four years ago. Really
there is hope for Kentucky yet when Demo
cratic Board of election canvassers can re-
member that one of their prominent men VIC
lated the laws of the State four years ago.
The Democrat, party has we'll authenti-
Gated views on finances. It's record demon
strates its deep unaterable affection for finan-
ees. It's members are great fnanciers. They
know how to put the finances in circulation
and to put them where they will "do the most
good" Their keen sense on this subject may
account for their defeat of Gen. Dix in New
York. He was silly enough to restore 81 mill
ions to the sinking fund that had been adroit-
Iy taken from it by Hoffman and he placed Ii
millions more to the same fund in two years.
The Democrats could see no sense in having
three millions put in the sinking fund. They
wanted them put in observation-disclosures Gen.
Dx's defeat.
The New York World declares that the
President should be furnished with Demo
cratic Cabinet because the people, by the cleo
ton of a majority of the House of Representa-
tives has indicated that they are in favor of
Democratic policy. The argument ~ is furth
er advanced that our constitution is taken
from the English and that change in the
House of Commons is followed by a change of
the Queens advisers The World should not
forget that our forefathers intended that there
should be check put upon both Houses of
Congress and they accordingly gave the Presi-
dent the power to veto bill passed by both
Houses. The Queen has no such power. And
this fact completely annihilates the Worlds
modest suggestion.
On Saturday evening of last week Presi-
dent Grant, Secretary Fish, Secretary Belk-
nap. Secretary Delano, Gen. Babcock and ex-
Gov. C. C. Cox visited Baltimore city in COM
pany with Rev DR.. Tiffany of the Metropoli
tan Church. Hon. Washington Booth, Collec-
tor: Hon. A. Stirling, Jr., Gen. A. W. Denni-
son and other distinguished residents of the
city met the party at Camden Station whence
thew were escorted in carriages to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Booth on CORTLAND street, where
they were entertained handsomely. At 7.9O
u. m, they were escorted to the Masonic Tenn
pie. where Rev. Dr. Tiffany delivered an eio-
onent address upon the propriety of the
American peoples completing the National
Monument to the memory { Gen. Washing
ton. Mayor vansant, l. Nevitte Steele and
Hon. Reverdy johnson were among the occu
pants Of the platform.

&Sy~ The Commissioner of Internal Reven-
ne has very nearly completed the preparation
of his annual report. He will suggest very
little new legislation affecting internal reven-
ne affairs, the main point which he will ask
Congress to act upon being certain amend
ments to the internal revenue laws, defining
more clearly the rules under the laws by which
the Internal Revenue Bureau is governed
The principle feature of this character, and
one which is constantly leading the bureau or
the Treasury Department into litigation, is
that section of the internal revenue law stipu-
lating the character of papers liable to check
stamps. There are other minor amendments
of kindred character, which the Commission
er will renew. After lengthy consultation
with Secretary Bristow it was decided that the
Commissioner should not recommend any
change in the taxes on whisky and tobacco

A CREDITABLE INCIDENT An incident which
occurred last week in the office OF prominent
lawyer of this city shows that some members of
the legal profession are governed b. higher SEN
timents of honor than many perhaps suppose -
A case of some importance to the party bringing
the suit was in tie hands of this lawyer, and
through some oversight or neglect OF his, in the
hurry of an extensive practice, this case was suf

that such heinous crimes so rare in the North,

WILD NEGRO OF OBIoN-He Dvells in a Mud
Hole for Five Long Years THE Nashville (Ten-
nessee) Banner of late date says: There is Il
strange specimen OF humanity living in Obon
county, Tennessee. Of his strange eccentricites
some hunters who returned here Yesterday from
few days sport around Reclfoot Lake, tell the
following story
The negro is called the "Wid Negro Of Obion,"
from the fact that he lived in nued state
through winter and summer, in mud hole and
has dwelt there for five years past. He calls
himself Edmund, and has no recollection of ever
having been called by any other name, though
born within fifteen miles OF the spot at which he
seems to have permanently located himself. He
processes to have the "RIood Fever" With he
--.eems curaoe through no oIner ng..su. INC BY
Standing iIoio, apout ruut ret scieaN1H1
with mud and water to the depth OF his KTees.-
He keeps the fire always burning in such po-
sition as to permit the wind TO blow the smoke of
it upon his person During cold weather he heats
the water by throwing hot ashes into it. The
strong lye thus produced has caused the splitting
open of TIE calves of his legs and made the skin
very scaly from the ankle to the knee. Onehalf
of each loot has been frozen off, in consequence
of which he finds some difficulty in getting about
hobbng instead of walking. Before he was
possessed OF the strange belief that he had been
stricken with the "Blood Fever" he must have
been d very large man. Though he has passed
through the four seasons five times without a
change from The clothing which nature gave him,
yet he is still muscular though raw.boued aud

from the story of our veracious sporlsmcn, that

him in corner lot of six feet two. Should not

OF some philanthropic, sympathetic people, ana
be rescued from his inevitable doom?
