Colonel Broadhead was before the
sub-judiciary committee on the 18th,
and was examined in reference TO in
side history of the trial of BabcOck
He said that before the trial injorma-
ton was brought 10 him that two of
the detectives employed in the "safe
burglary" were in st. Louis in the in
tcrest of Babcsck. to steal evidence
out of the district attorneys office,
and that their game was discovered,
whereupOn they left the city, being
paid 5000 each for their expenses by
Babcock's friends. Colonel Drodhead
then told the committee how the pros
ecution learned the history of McGill,
the lctter-carricr's connection with the
case; that he was procured by Parker,
the collector of Colorado Territory,
after consultation with Joyce. The
prosecution were afraid TO put Parker
Oh the stand, for fear that his testimo-

The unveiling of the Statue of

the Sons of Purity. Sons Of Levi,
Good Samaritans, Labor League, and
other uniformed benevolent Associa-
tions, accompanied by music. There
was an immense asscmblage at the
Park. The statue, ceyered with flags,
was the great object of interest. The
first contribution to the statue fund
was made, on the morning after the
assassination of President Lincoln, by
Charlotte Scstt, a colored woman OF
Marietta, Ohio, who gave So. The
original cost Of the monument was
$1,000, and the other incidental ex-
penses have been paid by subscription
by colored people. The last Congress
appropriated $4,000 for the pedestal,
and the statue was allowed to pass the
Custom house free of duty. The
statue is Of bronze, is twelve feet high,
resting Oh the pedestal ten feet high.

erect with the Proclamation Of Emaa-

accepted the statue in behalf Of the
entire Nation, and then called upon
President Grant to unyeil it. Pro.

the rope that was attached to the flag

and the booming of cannon, the beau

Diphtheria and Kerosene.

DIR. Wilson, of Meriden. is impress
ed with belief that the use of kelo-
sene oil causes diphtheria. And some
New Y ork journals incline to attribute
the prevalence of diphtheria i'm their
neighborhood to the proximity of the
Long Island kerosene factories; for,
they allcge, throat troubles have been
common within an area whose atmos-
phcre is impregnated with odors from
the Kerosene factories. DR.. Wilson
found in his practice that where ker-
oscnc was used diphtheria was more
malignant, developing its worst stages
when kerosene lights were burning;
and that by putting out the lights the
patient experienced IA change for the
better.
Doubtless tho subject Is worth in
vestigating. But it should be remcm-
bercd how universally Kerosene is
used for illuminating purposes, and
then that diphtheria prevails only here
aud there, being wholly unknown in
many towns where nothing but kcro-
sene is used for artificial lights, and
epidemic in others where gas is large
ly used. So far the theory of DIR.
Wilson and the New York journals is
only theory, and needs to be sus-
tanned by scientific tests before the
world will put bar upon Kerosene

TIE virtuOus Radical officials, from
the President down, all complain that
their salaries are entirely too small to
support the dignity of their several
offices. Yet it is wonderful how SO
many Of them manage to grow rich

There are Blaine, Delano, Sherman,
Garfield and others, who are able to
live in grand style, TO travel in Europe
and fare sumptnOusly every day. and
some, if not all Of them were poor
when they entered upon their official
