until congress has adjourned before

on his own responsibility. Atpresent

The long trial was brought to a sudden

A Revolving Case.

In 1867, there came to this country from
somewhere over the seas, says the Du-
buque He,dld Of Saturday last, one Fred
rick Lawrence Schubert, bringing with
him young and comely daughter, In
1868 they arrived in Dubuque, and being
strangers in strange land, and obscure in
station, there was nothing to hinder any
evil license they might see fit to take.
The monster Schubert evidently appreCi
ated the situation, and gave himself a
free rein accordingly. Securing the ser

and honorable marriage, and forthwith
proceeded to live together as man and

who came to this country a year ago, and
more recently he arrived in Dubuque and
at last discovered the whereabouts of his
father and sister, and the terms on which
they were living together. He at once set
about effacting a separation between the
father and daughter, husband and wife.
He found the woman ready and anxious tc

man was obstinate and refused to make any

foremost in affirming that he and his wing
of the party is 50 corrupt that no member
of it can be safely nominated for the prcsi-

Into his grave, and that came out of the
government revenues plundered by the
whisky ring. 1t cost million to organize
the O'COnor movement, and the whisky
ring furnished the money. In fact that
ring is all there is left of the Republican
party. Let the country alone to vote as it
wishes without the prejudices promulgated
by the means stolen from the government,
and without the bribery which gets its
money from the same source, and no Re-
publican can carry the presidential elec'
tion.
Hdrper'S Weekly says
Republicans ought to see clearly that as
Grant himself could not possibly be re-
elected, so none of the Urant group could
be elected. 1t is the administration which
has endangered and defeated the party

That is false. Gen. Adams, chief clerk

man, The case has been conducted with
the utmost skill and ability on the part of
the defence by Gen. Sherry aided by Judge
Callahan. Col. Anthony showed his

claring that he heard Gen. Sherry had ad-
vised Embry to shoot him. 1t fell with a

parent His sickness and palpitation of
the heart, putting his hand on his shoulder
and calling for water and air while on the

in the structure and decoration of our build
ines. 1t is, however, in her low lands near
the coast that wonderful discoveries have
been made which are puzzles even to the
biologists.
In the low, pimpled prairies of Calcasieu
we have not only oil wells, but vast bed Of
pure crystalized sulphur. more than a
hundred feet thick, and deposit of purest
gypsum or plaster of Paris, more than eight

In Iberia lies the celebrated salt mines,

And last OF all comes the discovery of vast
