his wife in one Of her most exalted moods
taxed him with his sins. Conscience
stricken he fell groyeling at her feet and
she gave him her free and generous for
giveness, The letters read in evidence
showed that at an interview between the
two on the evening Of January 26th, 1878,
Mr.. Hlton made q confession to bis wife
and that she accepted his pledges OF re-
pentalce, and she went further than this
and blamed her own conduct as the cause
Of his transgressiOns, continuing for q
long time after to lash herself for this
imaginary fault, Gen. Tracy then read q
letter already in evidence written by Til.
ton to his wife In January, 1858, in
which he speaks Of himself "a .
hypocrite and a vhited sepulchre filled
with dead mems bones.
He then read Mrs. Tiltons reply to
this, in which she blames herself for un.
feeling conduct towards her husband, and
calls herself the chief oi sinners. The
speaker then said that the last letter,
dated January 81, 1868, was written long
before breath Of suspicion had been

husband, and ut q time when Nlton him
self was guilty. He then read letter in
which Mrs, Tilton spoke Of her mistake In
having tried 10 repress tho expression Of
her great love for her husband for fear OF
making him selfish. She said in Il that sho
thought his influence over q womm
whom he loved must b6 like bis influence
over an audience; that to love was praise
worthy but to abuse his gift Of inaence
was a sin; that here she was strong and
that no fascination could ever induce her
to yield her womanhood,
Mr., Tracy said that this waa the letter
which had become somewhat famous In
this cause through the fact that It had
been so garbled by the plaintiff in his
statement as to appear there like con-
feSsion Of the wife that she was struggling
against temptation, In fact she was re.
ierring to his abuse Of his inaence over
other women and to his confession to her
Of his inhdelities. Recess,

Senator CapeFton's Reputcd Pro.
Rrnmme.


Tho Charleston correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial telegraphed to that
paper few days since what purported to
be an outline Of our new Senator's pro-
grumme ut Washington, after he shall
have been sworn in as a Senator from
West Virginia. The dispatch was to tho
effect tllathe would advocate q "return
Of the National Constitution to the orig.
inal form before the rebellion, declaring
war to the knife and knife to the hilt
against Northern oppression" =,
This ia pretty extensive programme,
The man who buckles on his armOr with
such declaration ought to be consider.
able OF Hercules in order to carry it
into effect, 1t is getting pretty late in
the day to talk about repeating the amend.
menls to the National Constitution adopt,
ed during the war and since, and We had
supposed that that idle vagary was tho
peculiar property Of Alex, H. Stevens
the ex.COntederato ViOe-Prcsident.
Notwithstanding there will be over
hundred ex.Coniederates in the next Con.
gress, We have no serious apprehension
that the programme indicated by our new
Senator will be seriously entertained by
any great number OF them, He and per.
haps a few others may be foolish enough
to set such ball In motion, but, gen.
orally speaking, the project will bO eS'
teemed ridiculous, Such programme
requires the endorsement, in the first
place, Of a twothirtls vote In Congress,
and, next, the corporation Of three
lourths Of the Statesoi the Union, and we
opine that the flowing beard Of tho
patriarchal Mr.. Caperton will be frosted
with the SHOWS Of many more wintorsb bc
fore such n change Of public sentiment in
this country occurs, ,.g.
However, we are willing TO see the
Democracy patronize snCh a QuixOtic
programme rs this. The next Congress
will afford them an opportunity to show
their hands on all such subjects prior to
the Presidential election in 1875. The
party has succeeded admirably since the
war in destroying It's chances just in the
nick OF time, and It Is not improbable
that the ascendonCy Of the Republican
party will be assured in the nGxt election,
by tho agitation Of somo spch foolish
measures as that proposed by Mr.. Caper-
ton. .... .........

road,

AV~Ns
A very decided interest appears to be
felt in tho projected railroad from point
on the river opposite Portland, Ohio, to
Washington, Pa, via the Buffalo Creek
Valley. Meetings have already been held
at Bethany and other places in the interest
Of the road. The section Of country
through which theroad would pass IL one
Of the richest In all this region. Tho
route is}thickly settled, the lands are
rich, and there is an abundance Of coal.
The design ia to connect tho river with
the CHARTERS rcad, already bullttO Whsk
ington, Pa, from Pittsburgh; also with
the 1TempAold mid with The projected
Marrow ,Guagc road from Washington to
Waynesbnrg. ,fhC prime object, however,
Of those just now moving in tho matter
Is to get the road built from the river
across Brooke county into Pennsylvania,
and thus open up cheap transportation
for the resources Of tie rich Buffalo Creek
Valley. a .i[gAI =
The capitalstockIof this projected en-.
tcrprise Is for !he present. limited to $780,.
600, with power to increase to S5OOOOO in
tho future. In case the movers IN the
matter sse d. 10 adopt the narrow gauge
track they can start their project with .
comparatively small capital. It seems to
Us that II would be wisdom In them to do
80. The cost 81 Iaildihg ainatrow gauge
d only about 90 per cent Of the cost Of
the standard track, and tic cost Of opera.
ting ia very nearly ohc.half less, while
the capacity for freight is but'littlc less
than that Of the standard. t-,,s
1tlhAs been demonstrated that short
narrow gauge lines can be made not only
self sustaining, but in many instances
profitable to Observation-Disclosures, while short
standard tracks are generally too expen!
Sive to earn dividends. The tendency Of
the times to build narrow gauge roads
crethey are expected 10 be local in their
character, and more than this, The pro-
ject Of a narrowgauge road along the
iorty.hfst parallelfrom Toledo, Ohio, to
Council Bluffs il seriously mooted. A
committee Of tile iowct House Of Con.
gress has already reported In favor of the
construction Of such a road with a view
Of solving the problem Of cheap trans
portation. The company that PROPOSES
to build II ask Congress- To appropriate
$4,000 per mile to aid In its construction
and equipment, and In return they pro.
pose to carry, the mails of the United
States and transmit telegfaphic dispatches
forever free Of charge, and to fix passen-
ger rates and tteishIi itatiiFs at yetylOw
figures. ..

A Battle ON the Prairie.

From the Fl Scott Monitor, Aug. IL.
A terrible affair occurred near Dallas,
Texas, on Saturday of last week. About
20 wagons met on the prairie en- route fol
Dallas. They combined into one train
and camped together. In the train was a
young widow, who in her manner was so
ciable in the extreme. A man who had
joined the train from some quarter began
paying bis dcvotions to her which SHIT
rather encouraged. He pnshed his sui
with vigor, and finally made such advances
which she resented, and informed one OF
her admirers Of the insult put upon her.
He Immediately took up her cause and
called upon the offending party, who &C,
the fact. An apology was
and refused. and fight deter.
mined on. The male members of the train
divided into three parties. One favored
the lady's cause, another the offending
party, while the third advocated peaceful
measures, and sought to reconcile matters.
Finding this to be impossible, the peace
full party pulled up stakes and left. de-
teFmjned to take no hand in the affair.
They had not proceeded far before the
sound OF pistol shots, In rapid successl0n,
were heard. accompanied by shrill screams
Of women. The battle had begun. Both
the remaining parties had taken up arms
IN support of their companions and fought
to the bitter end. The fight was furious,
but after time the pleadings of the wo-
men separated the comhatanis. but not un.
III three men were mor.ally wounded and
several oihcss daDger0usly %. About If
leen men were engaged in the aftay.

Danger Of Protracted Sleep.

But here, as in many other cases, the
evil of deficiency has it's counterpart in
the evil of excess Sleep protracted be.
yond the need of repair, and encroaching
habitually upon the hours of waking &C.
tion, impairs more or less the functions OF
the brain, and with them all the vital
powers. This observation is as old as the
days of Hippocrates and Aret@us, who
severally and strongly comment upon it.
The sleep of infancy, however, and tina,
of old age do not come under this category
of excess. These are natural conditions
to respective periods, Of life,
and to be dealt with as such. In illness,
moreover, all ordinary rule and measure Of
sleep must be put aside Distinguishing
it from coma, there are very few cases in
which it is not an equivocal good; and
even in comatose state The brain, we be.
lieve, gains more from reposc than from
any artificial attempts to rouse it into &C.
