DEATH FROM THE BOTTLE.

We yesterday learned of the death of
DIR. r. G. McWilliams, in Bethany, on
Sunday last, which occurred in the fol-
lowing singular manner: It seems that
the Doctor, when under the influence of
liquor. conceived the fancy of holding up
his watch or other object and permitting
some one to shoot at it. A few days
since he and some boon companions met
in Bethany, when McWllllams placed
bottle on his head and insisted upon
some of the party shooting at it. One or
two shots were fired without any serious
result, but finally Cicero Stephens fired,
but missed the bottle and shot McWil-
liams in the head. He fell. remarking
that it was bad shot and he was killed,
but that he did not blame Stephens
These are the facts as related to US,
though we cannot vouch for their accu-
racy of detail. The unfortunate victim
of the experiment has paid the penalty
of his folly. while the man who commit
ted the deed is, in the eyes of the law, a
murderer.
1t will be remembered by many of our
citizens that DIR. McWilliams-who had
not then become member of the medi-
cal professionalism and killed a negro
soldier in this city Immediately after the
war, for which he was acquitted. as it was
clearly proven to the satisfaction of the
Federal officer who was, at the time, in
command here, that the killing was done
in self-defense. The soldier was advanc-
ing on him with fixed bayonet while be
was walking quietly on the sidewalk,
when he jerked six-shooter from the
belt of gentleman who was with him,
and shot him, killing him, we believe, al
most instantly. In those days the negro
soldiers here were daily guilty of the most
unprovoked outrages upon citizens, and
this one deserved his fate. When not
under the influence ofLliquor. DIR. McWil-
liams was quiet gentleman.

AN IMPORTANT POLITICAL RuMoR

A st. Louis dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune says that Stilson Hutchins, who
owns controlling interest in the st. Louis
Times. is now in New York for the pur-
pose of negotiating purchase of the
New York World. 1t was given out here
that Hutchins had IA number of friends
and relatives in New York who proposed
to back him in the enterprise. The
truth of the matter is, however, that
Commodore Garrison, the well known
capitalist of New York is the party who
is to put up the cash if any is put up
When that gentleman was in ST. Louis u
few months ago, he was wheedled into
the notion that, in view of the late Demo
cratic successes. the World wonld have
the making of the next President in its
hands. In addition he was hattered into
the belief that it couli successfully run
him through as the greenback candidate
for Chief Magistrate in 1876. He prom
ised that he would consider the matter.
and, if a favorable price could be agreed
upon, he would buy. His representative
called upon Mr. Manton Marble, and
that gentleman expressed willingness to
sell, but asked 100000. Should pur-
chase be made, Hntchins would take
charge of the new management, and he
has gone on with view of negotiating
with both parties and inducing them to
come to terms that will be acceptable.

How MONKEYS ARE CAPTURED. How
are monkeys caught ? The ape family
resembles man. Their voices are human.
They love liqbor, and fall. In Darfour
and Senior. the natives make fermented
beer, of which the monkeys are passion
ately fond. Aware of this, the natives 90
to the parts of the forrest frequented by
the monkeys. and set on the ground Gala
bashes full Of enticing liquor AS soon
as the monkey sees and tastes it, he ut
tsrs loud cries of Joy, that soon attract
His comrades. Then an orgie begins,
and then in short time they show all
degrees of intoxication. Then the ne
groes appear. The few who came too
late to get fuddled escape. The drinkers
are too far gone to distrust the negroes,
but apparently take them for larger spe-
cles of their own genius. The negroes
take some up, and these begin to weep
and cover them with maudlin kisses.
When negro takes one by the hand to
lead him off, the nearest monkey will
cling to the one who thus finds sup
port. and endeavor to go on also. An
other Will grasp at him, and so on until
the negro leads staggering line often or

brought to the village, they are securely
Gagged and gradually sobered down; but
for two or three days gradually dimin

as to reconcile them by degrees to their
state of captivity.

THE GAY pEoEIYER.

The story of the loves, sorrows. do
mestic troubles, stock transactions and
other important events in the life of TN
Dawson, late pastor of the Presbyterian
Church in Brooklyn, have been told In
the San Francisco ChronicleIwith minute
particularity. He loved damsel over
the bay. not wisely, but too well. He
specuiated wildly in mining shares,
squandered his own money and that of
others. When the game was up he re-
signed his pastorate to save the lady with
whom he was connected from public
scandal. There being positively nothing
to detain him in California and verv lit
tie to entice him to the Eastern States.
he took the Australian steamer one fine
Summer day, intending to wear his life
out on sugar plantation in the Sandwich
Islands. But the ruling passion in him
was as strong on shipboard AS on shore.
On the steamer were two charming ladies',
actresses. bound for Australia. where
they had professional engagement
Mrs. Alice Dunning and Miss Dickie
Llngard. Dawson had seen Miss Dickie
on the stage, cheaply attired and suffer
ing intense mental and bodily anguish,
In The Two Orphans = and his heart,
full OF his own great sorrows, had gone
out towards her on account of her scenic
griefs. When be again met her, pale and
interesting from the first attack of NAL
de mer, as the gallant ship was blowing
off the Farralones, and having forgotten
his right name, was introduced to her by
a pseudonym. his passion recurred with
greater intensity and he madly vowed
that she should be his. His first wooing
was slightly interrupted by the pitching
of the ship, and the lady at intervals
turned delicately aside during his most
feryent protestations, and, evidently agi-
tated by emotion, gazed attentively over
the side OF the vessel at the sea. But on
the whole, his suit prospered, and ere the
steamer was five days out his addresses
were graciously received and he had con-
cluded to abandon the plan of the sugar
plantation and accompany the ladies to
Australia. 1t is even insinuated that a
proposal of marriage was not received by
Miss Lingard with disfavor All this
billing and cooling had been observed by
some ladies from Oakland who were 90
ing to Honolulu. They knew the ex-
clergyman S character resolved to save
the lady from disgrace. So they took her
abaft the main mast one day and told her
the whole story. The disilInsion was
painful, but she bore up bravely and re-
fused to have anything more to say to the
gay deceiver. Dawson LETT the steamer
at Honolulu. but fearing that the tale
would be bruited all over the little Haw-
waiian Kingdom he left for the Society
Islands, where he will hereafter be COM
PEELED to waste his affections on the un-
sentimental banana and corresponding
cocoanut. Miss Lingard meanwhile is
fulfilling her engagement in Melbourne

AN UNPAsHIoNABLE WEDDING.
London News says: A somewhat re-
markable wedding took place few days
since at st. Georges Church, old Brent
ford. The bridegroom, laborer at the
gas-works. not putting ia an appearance
at the appointed time. the sexton was
dispatched in search of him. and found
him smoking hi, pipe coming out of a
neighboring inn coatless. and with his
coatsleeves tucked up, having apparently
just left off work. On telling him that
they were waiting, the man FASTENED to
the church in his shirt sleeves. The sex
ton observing that the only person pres
ent besides Jones, was the bride and her
maid, asked who were to give the bride
away, when, Jones replied, You can do
that, Guvner'' At first, it is said, the
clergyman hesitated about going on with
the ceremony, but finding the parties APP
peared really serious. he conducted the
service in the unual manner, the sexton
kindly undertaking the duty of giving
away the bride. The ceremony being
over. the wedding party adjourned to the
inn, and after partaking Of refreshments,
the bride proceeded to her new home,
while the bridegroom returned to his
work at the gas factory

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CAM
DIDATES,

Since the result of the Ohio election
b.,ame known, Governor Tilden OF New
York. aud Senator Bayard of Delaware.
are in some quarters regarded as the sole
surviving Democratic candidates tor the
Presidency. Tammany Hall accepts the
result as Judgment in favor OF the pol
lev advocated by Governor Tllden, and
therefore calculates that the way now IS
clear to his nomination for President by
the next Democratic National Conven-
ton. But New York Democrats outside
of Tammany Hall are not so sure about
it. They truly say that the Western men
will Law their defeat ut the door Of Tllden
a. Co., and will seek their revenge, not
only in throwing Tilden overheard in the
National Convention, but in keeping up
such divisions in the party, on the tinan-
cial issue, as will enable the Republicans
to win an easy victory. Of course the
Ohio Democratic leaders blame the New
York Democracy for their defeat, and are
already indnlging in amiable threats to-
wards them, like this from the Cincin-
nati Enquirer, the great rag money organ;
The men in New York calling them
selves Democrats. who have exerted their
influence to beat William Allen and the
Democratic ticket in Ohio. are the worse
enemies of our organization. They have
dug pit between them and the Democ-
racy' of this portion of the Union-a pit
as wide aud impassable as that which
separates Dives from Lazarus. We only
know the motives Of the leaders to hate
and execrate them, and to pray for their
defeat" 4
The Republican papers look upon the
Ohio result in the same way. The Bos-
ton AdUertiser Republican, says !" the
defeat in OHIO is certainly the signal for
an internal struggle for the mastery of
the Democratic party. which will lead to
q dissolution of the historic organiza-
ton That journal is doubtless too
sanguine. its hopes bel lg the father of its
thougats but were little Delaware as

II LOFE AN HONEST POY.p

There is German who keeps a gro
Gerry store in Keokuk, Iowa, aud he had
call from little boy the other night
who had been sent to get two o-dollar bill
changed. The boy received the change
and returned home with it, when it WAS
discovered that there was quarter which
was rather ragged, though good, in the
change, and also that the quarter was
just twenty five cents more change than
the people who sent the bill were en-
titled to. The boy was sent back to re-
turn it. and of course the ragged "frac-
tional' was sent with him. Entering the
store and holding out the ragged money,
the boy said, "you changed 81 bill for
me, here's quarter" Our German
friend, seeing the ragged money, and
fancying he would have to take it back,
interrupted the boy by exclaiming.
"Shanged nodinks / shanged no pills

"Yes, you did. and here's quarter

the boy back to the rear end of the store,
