DIRECTING TO DECREASED PAY-The
school teachers OF Philadelphia, to the num-
Der OF one thousand, held meeting on Sat,
reduction Of ten per cent. OF their salaries oy
the city councils. The general sentiment ex-
pressed was that the salaries now paid were
not commensurate with the brain power and
labor given. A reduction OF ten per cent
would save about 100000.

ToR-A telegram from St Louis Yesterday
says: Considerable comment has been in
Obliged in here growing out of the fact that
Gen. ID. NJ. Frost, one of the democratic
presidential electors in this state, has been
pronounced ineligible. The general is a
graduate of West Point, he served i'm the
army several years; was in command OF
state militia at Camp jackson, this city,
when captured by Major Lyon in May, 1861,
and subsequently served in the confederate
army. He claims TO have a pardon from
President Andrew johnson, and therefore his
disabilities have been removed, but the re-
publicans assert that Johnson's pardon stands
for nought against the constitutional amend
ment on the subject of disabilities, and there
fore he cannot act legally as an elector.

INDIANA SENTINEL WEDNESDAY,

the present turns him sick at the stom-
ech. Only once lat ~ We got him work.
ed up TO tne point of
COMING DOWN FROM HIS aARRET IN THE
CLOUDS
and making a speech. 1t was on the 4th
OF June, at r lseburgh, just as we were get
ting ready to leave for S.. Louis. We cir
culsied it in every direction, and people
came over the mountains to hear him, TAX
ing three and four DAYS for tue journey.
There were a, least five thousand there,
and when the old hero began, the auditors
stretched their necks as IL some revelation
was coming, and every word was to be pre-
cious Only few could hear him, for his
voice has drifted into the childish treble,
but curiosity kept them spsll-bound till
he closed. He reminded one, with his
majestic presence and flowing white
hair and beard, Of some John the psist in
the wilderness crying unto The people, Re
pentw And when he came down from
the platform he took US delegates to one
side and begged Us, with fsltering voice
and tears in his eye, to give the country
pure ticke, ard help bring back the
hones.y and Gecency which politics bad
lost and the country wanted TO see restored.
{ he boys'-for that's the name he calls us
by-,ook up to him with great venerstion,
and think there is still more ell hence in
those weak, trem bling tones, than In all
modern orators com bined. The old man
has one wish left-to vote for Tilden and
Hendricks. If the ticket wins be wants to
depart In peace, like Simeon, for he will
have lived u see the cOuntry's salvation.

A FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL FALL.

A FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL FALL.
A PAINTER Is PRECIPITATED FROM THE
CoRNICE OF THE COURT HOUSE 80 FEET
BELOW AND Is KILLED.
1t is exceedingly rare that public
building of large dimensions can be erected
without some OF the persons employed
about it coming to their death by accident,
and we we've just about to Fl after ourselves
that it could be said that the Marion
county court. house was an exception
to this general rule; but yesterday morn
ing fatal accident occurred. A long lad
der is placed upon the projecting sills OF
the southwess windows OF the upper story
d. the building for the use OF the painter
and in order to make 1t more secure a
plank is laid over 1t, so that il it breaks
| there will be some support Tor the painters.
Y esterGay morning at O'Clock a party OF
tour painters, Wm. Cunningham, JnO.
Jenkins, Jos. Adams and Jas. II Lsthrop
were seated upon the ladder engaged in
painting, when it gave way,
but the plank yet remained. All
of the party except Lathrop sat
still, but he, probably, thinking that his
only safety was to get on the main build
ing, made jump for the window sill, but
missed it and fell to the ground beneath, q
distance OF ninety feet. When reached by
his fellow workmen he was dead. The
deceased was take to Kregelo's under
taking establishment, when IL was
discovered that his neck had been broken
by the fall, his chest terribly bruised, auc
bis right arm broken. The coroner held
an inquest in the morning and brought in
verdict that the deceased came to
nis death by an accidental fail
through the breaking of the ladder
on which be was sitting. Their
was a policy upon his Life In the
deceased was q man of about 40 years OF
age, and leaves q wife and baby girl. His
rems1ns will be taken to Columbus, Ohio,
to-day for interment. The workingmen
of the city will accompany the remains to

POLITICAL HERMIT-HAUNTs OF THE AN

The folio wing from the Indianapolis cor

travelling around the exchanges credited
to the Oregon correspondent of that pa
per: "The most notable object of interest
we have out in our Western regions"
said Matt Brown, OF Oregon, his eyes
cleaning with devotional are, sis old Gen
Joe Lane. suppose there are thousands
of people In this country familiar with his
name and record who would swear he was
dead, and the young politicians of the
present generation manage to get along
without mentioning him at all, which is
very remarkable, 1 sometimes think, con-
sideriDg what conspicuous figure he was
In American politics twenty years ago.
Indiana idolizsd him. No man ever re-
ceived such sn ovation for services in the
field as Joe Lane when he returned from
Mexico at the close of the war, and
gave the state chance to carry him on its
shoulders for his gsllabtry at Buena
Vista. He came West in 1856, was ap-
pointed provisional governor of Oregon
by Fillmore, then was in the Senate, and
had Just finished his term when be was
nominated Tor vice-pres dent on the ticket
with Breck enridge. Alter that defeat he
came back to rs In disgust, and the hot
political places that knew him once knew
nim no more forever. He bought a farm
back OF Roseburgh, running up from the
Valley OF the Willsmet e, and built him a
small frame house high on pic uresque
spur OF the Rogue River Mountains, where
he has lived ever since in
THE MOST PERFECT sECLUsIoN.
Two years ago he lost his wife. whom he
always called "the Madame" and loved
devotedly. Since then his desolation has
been relieved only by a negro boy, who
croks and keeps house for him. Infirmi
You ought to see him. He's eighty-sbree
now, straight as an arrow, six feet two
inches In height, and ne can picK up his
rfs and bring home q deer or follow
down q trout stream over the rocks about
as we'll as the next man. And then he
reads great deal. 0ne room In his cabin
is sacred to his books, aud his library is
one of the most valuable on the
Pacific Slope. Strange how the old
man hangs on to the skirts of the past.
Old thoughts, old questions, old scenes,
old stat smen which have nearly faded
out of our remembrance and given place
to the issues and plans of the present are
meat, drink and lodging to him. He talks
about aucient notions of political honor
and integrity, and any comparison with

need of change? Years ago a Q Goldfish
ball. 1t was the first l had ever seen, and
on the other side of the table was young
man about as green as / was. He thought
they were biscuit. He took up one, but when
he got 1t near his nose he dropped it. He
took up another, and he dropped that.
Then he opened one, and dropped that.
Calling to The landlord, he said: "Here,

Now, gentlemen, the Republican party is

Laughter aud applsuse.1 He reviewed
THE FINANCIAL AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTRY,
and showed that the responsibility for the
present hard times rested on the Rspub-
licsn party. A howl is raised about the
present Confederate House. The Journa
says there are about eighty ex-rebels in
the Houss. How did they get there? The
Republicans passed the amnesty bill, and
allowed the people to elect them, and they
nave voted for every bill in the interest of
the Union soldiers. They have passed
bill To equslizs the bounties, and 1t is now
hanging fre in Senate which Is largely
R9pu blican. These Republican papers
are complaining that the present House
is turning out Union soldiers from
the offices of the House, and
appointing ex-rebels in their places. This
Is not true. With all their professions o.
love tor the soldier, no Democrat who
wore the blue held any Office at their
hands, and the Democratic sereesnt-st-
arms turned out Republicans and sp
pointed in their places wounded Demo-
cratic Union soldiers. But while
DEMOCRATIC SOLDIERS
are stumping over the country on wooden
legs, Grant appoints ex-rebels who have
turned Republicans to such positions as
governor of New Mexico, governor OF
Utah territory, collector of the port OF
New Orleans, etc. After showing up the
hollowness and Inconsistency of the Re-
publican pirty, he closed with promise
Of q speech &C some future day. III. s.

the immense SUCCESS or the occasion Is
