a Baubee For the Office" SO

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial has visited William Allen at
his quiet country home, and intervie we'd
him with tue following result: y
After it was all over, and Governor
Hayes surely elected, | felt it my duty,
as q true friend, to call on his Excelleu>
cy, and, if necessary, express my SYM
patty for his defeat. Arrived at the
mansion, | was met at the door by bin
son-iniaw DR.. Scott, who at once ushered
me into tie presence Of the Governor,
who received me with that same genuine
old Virginia courtesy for which he is
f'med. 1 opened With. "Well. Cover

men to believe me. | give you my word
as an honest and honorable man, person
ally did not care a baubee for the Office.
Of course | feel for my party"
This the Governor said with a CHEEKY
air, and without the least shadow Of regret
or waiting.
Governor, to what do yOu attribute
your defeat?' IA han .iI...t.
"Oh, I don't know = God only knows
that. 1 had a ID Of a load to carry,
there's no doubt of that. I'd rather not
say what it was just now" +iaI'' H5a.
Don't you think, Governor, that
General Cary had something to do with
it?"
"Now, look here, dent you lead me
into saying anything against Sam. Your
editor has about Aayed Sam already, aud
what's the use of getting after the poor
ID any more"
swell, | don't know, Governor; but
Sam. is such a terrible cuss that it's hard
to keep ones hand off him."
"Well, well-let him 60. Cover him
with the mantle Of charity
but, you see, Governor, that can't be
done-tbera's no mantle large enough Ia

With that the interview ceased, AM
the old Governor settled himself dowuril
his chair, seemingly content to resume
his intercourse with the literature ofth,
past and present ages Of the world.
The presidency was casually mentione'

Cure for Sheep-Chasing Dogs.

Many people will assent heartily to the
principle that the best cure for a sheep.
chasing dog is to kill him at the earliest
practical moment; but there may be ex>
ceptional cases. A correspondent Of the
London Field seems to think so at least,
and relates and instance where, after
other attempts had failed, a fine New
~fouudland dog was cured by tying him to
two old Scotch rams, and left to such
amusement as he could extract from their
society. The result was an extensive
ramble over bill aud dale, hedges and
bitches and diversified, Of course, by the
discordant views each ram and the dog
entertained as to the route of enjoying
the best .cenery, When all three we're
very tired they we're loosed, and nothing
thereafter was SO extremely offensive to
that dogs tastes as The society II sheep.

A Catholic Priest is Found
,d5 ic 500 Guilty. nta9

DARLINGTON, Wis. Oct. 25.-Father
FitIgibbOn, the priest of the Catholic
Church, has resided here for the last
twelve years, miniSterirg to his large
congregation with great fcrvor aud accep,
tance, aud was respected BY the members
Of all denomination of Christians until
last week, when an event t%ranspired which
has led to his disgrace and fight.
NJ. Thomas Gleason, au auctiopeer and
constable residing here, was married on
September 5, last. at the Catholic Church
to Miss Catherine O'Neil, by Father
Fitzgibbou. The lady had been house
keeper for Father Fitzgibbon for the past
Eve or six years. She was about thirty
years old. comey aud good looking Mr..
Gleason was a widower about forty years
old, and the match was thought to be u
good Que for both parties.
A night or two after the wedding, he
herd his wife talking in her sleep, and
speaking in eudearing terms of Father
Fltzsibbion. He also discovered that bis
wife was a frequent visitor to the priest.
He then formed a plan to catch ,hem, if
there was any truth in his susplcions,-
Last Thursday, October II, he stated to
his wife that he had business that would
cali him away from home for two or three
days, and he drove out of town as on his
usual business. He returned to Darling.
ton early in the evening, went to his
house, and found that his wife was absent.
tie instantly procured a witness, aud
they fastened to Father Fitzgibbons res
iienct and proceeding there poor Gleason
aud his friend made q discovery which
turned their suspicious into a terrible
reality. Mr.. Gleason returned to his now
desclate home, to which he was soon fol-
lowed by his taithless wife. She %stoutly
denied anything criminal between Father
Fiizgibbon aid herself, but her husband
soon obtained a confession from her that
the criminal intimacy was of long stand>
ing. This, however, she denied again
next day.
Early on the following morning, Mr..
Gleason took steps to cause the arrest OF
Father Fitzgibbon. bat met with a good
deal of difficulty, as the friends of the
priest tried 20 prevent legal proceedings.
He also intercepted the following note
from his wife:
Dear Father Fitzgibbon +: Tom has
caught us! All i. discovered. | am
ruined aod you are lost. Pray fly for
my sake. for Gods sake, fly. Your
loving KATE.
During the forenoon, Father Fitzgibbon
took his team and drove to Mineal Point.
where he waited at the priests house
there for further Developments. Friends
went up to him BY train, and used their
utmost exertions to obtain a settlement
with the injured husband. On Friday
night LAST, Mr.. Gleason succeeded in OBJ
tanning a warrant for the arrest OF tie
priest, and the sheriff was directed to ar.
rest him, but inform alton had beeh con
veyed to Mineral Point, aud the guilty
priest left for parts unknown. The mise
rable wife is staying with a charitable
lady here. and it is rumored that she will
90 to her relatives in California in a few
days. A suit for ~livorce has been cons
uenced by Mr.. Gleason against his wife.

The Science Of Storms.

Prot. 1'icc, Of st. Louis, has given .
brief explanation Of the theories upon
which he works in iorccasting the state
oi the weather upon certain dates i'm the
future, which are here copied:
Electricity is the cause of all atmos-
pheric movements.
The primary atmospheric movements
arc: !. y '"wn-pour of air from the
surface "i the atmosphere upon the
earth, and :, an 'lp-pour of air from the
surface OF the earth toward the zenith.
Under the down-pour there is hinb
barometer, and under the up-pour there
is n low barometer.
All currents Of air on the surface of
the earth flow from an area covered by
Il high barometer, into an area covered
by a low barometer. All currents in the
upper regions of the atmosphere flow
from. the top of the up-pouring column
