HIS L. ulQA1af oalt WIG Ol u lOlI1tI
member of the Cleveland Opera-house
Theatrical Company, died recently from
an overdose of morphine. It is sup
posed to be a case of suicide.
Mrs. Haas, an aged German widow
woman of Chillicothe, committed suicide
about five o'clock the other evening by
hanging. The cause is supposed to be
dispondency, induced by poverty. Her
husband was formerly wealthy brewer
of that city, who became involved, and
finally died, year or two ago, in abject
poverty. Their suffering so preyed on
the old lady's mind that she several
times was heard to threaten suicide, and
has now carried her desperate resolution
into effect.
A Lancaster paper says that Peter
Browns barn, near Waterloo, was struck
by lightning, recently, and entirely de-
stroyed by fire. The same evening, near
Basil, man and two horses were killed
while taking shelter under bridge which
was struck by lightning.
A few evenings ago, at Cincinnati,
boy named Rhody Welch, between ten
and eleven years old, while passing from
loaded to an unloaded coal-barge, at
the foot of Wood street, fell into the
river and was drowned.
Isaac Briggen, boy thirteen years of
age, was run over and instantly killed at
Wadsworth, by freight train. He had
been in the habit Of getting on freight
trains at the station, and riding up the
grade to his home, about half mile,
and then jumping off while the trains
were in motion. He was doing SO in this
instance, but in jumping he lost his bal
ance, fell under the coach, and was
picked up in a horribly mangied con-
dition.

Cured in Harrison Township, Ross
County, by young man named Philip
Galligan cutting his brothers wife in
the leg with scythe, seyering an artery
and causing her to bleed 70 death in a
short time. There have been quarrels
between the parties in regard to the right
to piece of land, and the friends of the
murdered woman claim the cutting was
done Intentionally. The defendant
claims it was the result of an accident.
Galligan surrendered himself to the
authorities, and was recognized to Court.

TIIden from Republican Standpoint.

Among the Republicans who claim to
have some sort Of principle and honesty in
their opinions, HarPer's Weekly is con-
sidered good, sound gospel truth. Just
now that paper is supporting Mr.. Hayes
vigorously for the Presidency. Equally
strong it is opposing Mr.. Tilden. In
view of these facts it will not be amiss TO
go back few months and take up some
old Harper's Weeklies to find an honest
opinion of Mr.. Tilden and his work.
+ On the 2Sth of August, 1875, less than
year ago, in an editorial, we find the
following interesting paragraph:
All good citizens are indebted to Governor
Tilden for calling the attention of the Legis-
lature and of the State to them (the canal
frauds), for recommending the inquiry, and
for instructing the Attorney-General to
bring suit, which he has done. Those who
say that the Governors action is q mere po-
litical trick, and that he means nothing,
evidently forget they are speaking of the
man who, when he ence took hold of the
Tweed prosecution, joined in pushing it re-
lentlessly to the end.
Could anything bestronger7 The man

and the nerve to work with the people

about thorough reform that will better

MontenegrJn Modes or WARFARE.
Now that the Moutenegrins are in the
heat of warlike operations, it is interest /.
ing to know their method of making
war, which is very primitive. A Mon
tenegrin never sues for mercy, and when I,
one is SO severely wounded that he can
not be saved from the enemy, his own
comrades take upon themselves the pleas
ant duty of cutting off his head. When,
at the attack of Clobuck, a small detach-
ment of Russian troops was obliged to
retreat, an officer of stout make and no
longer young, fell on the ground from
exhaustion. A Montenegrin perceiying
it ran Immediately to him and, having
drawn his yatagan, said, You are very
brave and must wish that / should cut
off your head. Say prayer and make
sign of the cross.n The officer, horri-
fed at the proposition, made an effort to
rise and rejoined his comrades with the
assistance of the friendly Montenegrin.
They consider all those taken by the en-
emy as killed. They carry out Of battle
their wounded comrades on their shoul-
ders. Arms, small loaf Of bread,
some garlic, a little brandy, an old gar
ment and two pair of sandals made Of
raw hide form all the equipage of the
Montenegrins. 1t is impossible to retain
them in the reserve, and it seems they

The solemn Androscoggin bell was

came knock a. the door, and behind it
the young lady of whom heard. Deb
was startled by the knock, and frightened
by the young lady. Il was not. often
that visitors came to Brick Alley, and it
was still less often that Brick Alley had
visitor to knock.
This was the young lady for whom
Deb's mother did fine washing. Deb's
mother wiped her hands and placed a
chair, and the young lady sat down. She
was straight young lady, with straight
feet, and long brown feathersin her hat,
and soft brown gloves upon her hands.
She had come, she said, with that Cluny
set, which she had found she should need

Grants Opinion Of Hayes's Letter.

Ewashington Special of the New York Tribune.l
The President one day last week gave
an audience to an Ohio private citizen in
no way connected with public life, and
voluntarily conyersed very freely with
him upon the public situation. Ameng
other things, the President criticised
very severely Mr.. Hayes's letter. He
said he considered it in extremely bad
taste, and thought that it reflected upon
the present Administration The Presi-
dent further said to the gentleman that
be hoped the time would come when the
American people would be permitted to
elect a President for as long time as
they chose. The inference LETT upon
this gentleman's mind was very strong
that the President was grieyously an
noyed that any consideration whatever
had been given to the question of the
third term. The Presidents entire
manner indicated complete dissatiHfac-
ton with the political situation, and
much personal anger.

Is it any wonder that the price of Ia
Dor and every commodity is so low, and
that business is in such depressed state?
Yet this state of affairs can easily be
.perpetuated, all that is necessary being
the election of Rutherford B. Hayes, the
man who has announced himself as being
decidedly in favor oft. Can any man
who has seen his business regularly and
rapidly shrinking during the past two
years, and with whom bankruptcy is in
evitable if the present system Of contrac-
ton is continued, deliberately cast his
vote for man who has pledged himself
to the carrying out Of this most stupen-
dous system of fraud or something more
stringent? If so, he is deliberately de-
termined upon committing financial sui
eide. Let him carefully examine these
figures and then determine for himself
whether he can afford to do so.

littleness, the wall of helplessness. 1t
is kin to his high-fown assurances of
peace and protection to the South, when
he knows that Secretary Cameron is now
planning. his campaign in the recon-
structed States, to win four of them for
Hayes, in defiance of the ballot, by
bayonets and Gatling guns. Nor does
Secretary Cameron rush to the overflow
of the ballotand probably to the studied
breach of the peace of whole section,
without knowing his reward. He is to
win and Mr.. Hayes is to pay. He is to
wrest victory from the people at the cost
of the law and blood if need be, and
Mr.. Hayes is to crown the chieftain with
the highest honors of his administration.
Stripped of poetry and platitudes, of
blatant hypocrisy and stupid tomfoolery,
such are the plain lessons of Mr.. Hayes's
letter of acceptance.

Speaking of hunting, when You get
tired and your eyes almost blinded
looking at the dazzling show goods
in the exhibition, You will find it a
relief to visit the Hunters Cabin, To-
Gated ia picturesque ravine back Of
Memorial hall. 1t is veritable log
cabin and hung on pegs inside and
out are such ornaments as panther S
heads, deers artlers, black bear skins,
buck skin coats, leggins and mecca
sins, captured from Indians, and a
score Of other curious trophies, with
all kinds of hunting and fishing tack
lie. The occupants are a party OF
western hunters, dressed in buck skin
clothes, who lounge through the day
on log seats, or sit round the camp
fire, cooking and eating, and sleeping
in their blankets on the ground, to il
lustrate hunters life in the lar west.
Another very popular institution
is the New England Kitchen, run as
an eating saloon, with yankee girls in
the costume of '76 carrying on the
culinary department with the oldest
of old fashioned kitchen utensils, and
old ladies in high caps superintend-
ing. The crowd is SO great you have

Our Centennial year is crowded
with wonders, not the least Of which
was the feat in transportation accom-
plished last week by the pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company. A locomo-
tive and three cars left Jersey City at
| a. m, and arrived at Plttsburg at
1858 a. m, having run distance Of
44l miles without stop, and aver
aging 45 miles to the hour. Ills has
never been e1uaIcd since the world
was made. The one engine which
took the train from Jersey City
climbed the Alleghenes, with a grade
of 90 feet - the mile, at an average
speed Of 80 miles an hour. The train
arrived at san Francisco at 925 on
Sunday morning, making the whole
run from New York in so hours. The
enterprise is called the special Trans,
continental Express. The Pa. Il. Il.
company may well be proud Of this
achievement.
