Eight Thousand pollars on Account.

From the New York Times.]
Where doc: the money come from to
carry on the Becchcr trial? That is al
most as great Il puzzle as anything con-
nectcd with the case. On the Tilton side
there connot be very much of the 'necd-
tul' to spare, but there seems to DC gold
mine at the command Of the defence. The
counsel are probably rather an expensive
set, and then "a good deal is said to have
been paid out in one way aud another to
the newspapers For instance, Plymouth
Church, or some Of the Bccchcl party, pay
the New York Tribune five dollars Il col
uu,n for the report OF the trial, and that
paper has already received eight thousand
dollars con account" Whether this is a
good or bad investment we do not under
take to decide; bu. who is supplying the
money that is required? And have any
other newspapers been subsidiz d at the
same rate.

I never was Il believer in dosing with mcdi-

it ia,parts to them the one thing most needful
in old ~ase-nights Of calm, sweet reposc,

through lite from s%crofuia, and has been blind
from its effects, having tried many remedies
with no favorable result, WAS induced by

My WHO has been troubled with Ca,arrh for

has thoroughly tried every supposed remedy
that We could hear OF, and with all this she
has for several years been gradually growing
worse: and the discharge from the head was
excessive ard very offensive.

From twelve to fifteen bottles. l am now hap

choose to make it rublic) that she is entirely
cured, and Eegetinc accomplished the curo
after nothing else would. Hence I feel justi-
lied in saying that Vegctine is the most reIi-

humanity to try it, for 1 believe it to be u
good, honest, vegetable medicine, and I shall
1ot hesitate to recommend it. am, &c,

Incredible Superstition.

A story of sadness and superstition
comes to us from Indiana. In a lonely
spot on the hillside on small stream
known as Mad Lick, about two miles back
Of Dillsboro, stood log house, which, until
about six weeks ago, was occupied by a
man named Hutton (called Doe Hutton
and his family. One day while Hutton
was at work in the field, and and his wife
was engaged outside of the house, their
little girl, about three and half years old,
approached too near the open fireplace
and her clothing ignited. The mother was
not near enough to hear the child's screams
and when she entered the room the little
one was found burned to crisp and dead.
Near the fireplace the floor was scorched,
where child lay burning, and there was
also a mark on the wall of the room,
against which she had rnn in her agony.
She then ran to the bed, hid her head
under the clothes and there died. Her
body was terribly burned, but her head and
face were protected from the flames by the
bed clothing. Selling up the dead body Of
the child, the mother ran screaming with
it to where the father was at work. The
Huttons are believers in spiritual mani
festations, as are most Of the people in the
neighborhood. They have their regular
meetings, circles and also grips and pass
words for members of their association,
For several days after the death of the
child the Hutton family tried living in
the log cabin, but at length acknowledged
their inability to do SO, and moved into the
village of Dillsboro. They declared that
almost constantly they could hear cries for
help and screams of agony from the dead
child, mingled with weird music that rang
through the l:rnse. The neighbors also
said that they ,ould hear the shreks. The
horrifyiny sounds were kept up about the
homestead Of the Huttons until the neigh
bors at last declared they could no longer
bear them, and accordingly, few days
ago, in order to get rid of the suffering |
spirit, Hutton's house and barn were
burned to the ground.

The individual operators are only too gIat
that the order first came from large cor
poratisn, as it allows them to escape from
difficulty of financial embarrassment tina
they coald not otherwise have done with
cut more serious results than will now at
tend such action. None of the individua
operators are upon sound footing. Th'
long strike crippled them beyond recuper
alton, and voluntary shutting down by
then at this time would readily create thu
inference that they were overwhelmed with
financial embarrassment. But the action
Of the Reading Railroad Company covers
this, and they can follow the example with
out provoking any such inferences.
If the railroad company carries out this
intention there will be at least five thou
sand men thrown out of employment. In
the wake will follow the individual opera
tors, which will throw fully three thou
sand more out Of employment, which with
the boys, which are known as breaker boys,
will make fully ten thousand people in
the dead Of winter out of work in the coal
regions of Pennsylvania.
1t was but last winter that the miners
were upon strike that lasted six months,
and none who recollect the sufferings that
were endured from cold and hunger, can
view the picture that this action of the
cellieries spreads out before theu, with
but shudder. The miners have
had no time to save anything. What they
have earned since they resumed work has
been consumed in paying up the debts
they were compelledto to incur, to keep them
selves from starvation while the strike was
in progress. Therefore, the shutting down
now upon the means through which they
drew their hard earned money is blight
% their happiness and their resources of
gaining livelihood. What they will do
f this besom of woe does come, 10 human
'gency can now determine. We, here, do
lot know what the biting cold of these
bleak Pennsylvania. ..mountainsis. and neith-
II do we know what it is to be to shut up
n them, pennyless and without food, as
10 these poor horny palmed miners. 1t is
o be hoped that there is no truth in the
umor, and, if there is, that some divine
of Providence will prevent
t. As God tempers the wind to the
horn lamb, may we not too temper it to
he unfortunate miners.

The announcement made through the
newspapers that tile Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Co. intends shutting
doy II upon the work in anumber of the COL
1e,i that they control in the coal districts

effect than one would suppose. The cause
of this determination is the overstocking
Of the Eastern markets with coal and the

FHE ESCAPE OF TWEED.

The escape of William M. Tweed, from
his prison keepers in New York, on Satur
day night, is matter of surprise to but
few, who are acquaintd with the ease that
Harry Genet, companion Of Tweed in
crime, made his escape and is now hiding
in a foreign cline. The escape Of Tweed
was similar to that of Genet's. He asked
the privilege ofseeing his family. Thi.
was readily granted, and carriage pro-
cured in which he was driven through the
principal streets with all the luxury and
state of man of wealth who had never
committed any ofense against the law.
At his hoAse the keepers were left to warm
themselves in the parlor and be entertain
ed by one Of his sons, while the bird
changed his plumage and quietly walked
out of the back door-whither no one
! knows.
New York prison discipline has always
been regarded as being lax towards those
who have committed offences while in
high positions, but harsh and severe to
those who were so unfortunate as to offend
against the law while in the humber
walks of life, but the escape Of Tweed is
he crowning point Of shame in a long Sc
les Of disgraces. From the very first his
enlistment was but mere mockery of.
hat justice, which it pretended to carry
tat. While upon Blackwell's Island, his
as merely minalimprsionment. True,
10 was in prison, but with the exception Of
eing debarred from his liberty, he was sur
ounded by every comfort that could make
Inis life one of luxury.
Under a cloud of technicalilies he was
brought into Court to mako an attempt,
through wordy debate of lawyers, for his
his release from Imprisonment. This sig
nally failed, and instead Of finding his
way back to the old quarters in BlackwelPs
Island, he was placed in Ludlow street
Jail, which but paved the way to his Grim
inal release on Saturday night by his
keepers.
The escape of Tweed, does not alone
affect the people of New York, but the en-
tire people Of the United States,
aud sthe Government ITSELF IT
is an outrage upon law, the
the escaped is the laws victim, and every
DOW ar of Government and constabulary |
should be made to place him in the harness
Of prison life again. Those who were his
guardians upon Saturday night, are cul-
prits. They are directly responsible for
his escape and should be made to feel the
lash Of the law for this outrage upon jus
tice and their shameful abuses Of the high |
true Is reposed in them.

THE DEFEATOF RANDALL.

The defeat Of Mr.. Randall in the De-
IN cratic CAUCUS in Washington on Satur'
day night, for the Speakership Of the
II ,use, was the result of well arranged
system Of lying and cheating. So far We.
his election conceded that it was considered
doubtful if there would be any necessity
for more than two ballots, But the wires
of the caucus were pulled by number Of
tricksters. The whole defeat may be attri-
buted 10 the action of Fernando Wood,
who instead of keeping his word, and cast
ing his influence for Mr.. Randall, secretly
plotted against him, not only casting his
Influence for Michael c. Kerr, but voting
fer him openly. While there is no right
to compel that man shall Use his influence
tor another, if he does not want to, there
is moral reason that he should keep his
word after it has been once given. Thi-
Mr.. Wood did not do. He was
openly the avowed friend Of Mr.. Randall,
and behind his hack the Brutus, that made
S..arday night the opportunity for inhict-
ing the stab, and proving himself an un-
truthful man-a triekster of the old Tam
many school. But of this we can assure
the gentlemen of the House, that in their
&C ion t!ey have gone against an able, bold
ard honest Democrat. They may have
ca Use to know this.
