The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-01-05

won Dy cornell. MarSn's letter TO the pres
dent stirred up the Indian depart
ment worse than ever. A sad
affair was the balloon accident somew here
over Lake Michigan, by which Donaldson
and poor Grlmwood lost their lives. About
this time there broke out in Herzegovina, a
province OF Turkey, an instruction of the
| rajahs or Christian inhabitants, produced
by the lnsupportaole oppression of local
rulers and the exactiops of tax collectors,
which promises to be as interminable and
as interesting that of the Carlists. The
memory of the old Mountain Msadow mas
sacre WAS revived by the fruitless trial of
John d. Lee, one of the leading participants.
A great crash was heard when the immense
house of Duncan, Sherman & Co., of New
York, fell An illustration that a man
sometimes does we'll to be angry was shown
in England by the excitement resulting
+ from Plimsoll's exhibition of righteous in
dignalion in the Honse of Commons over
the ministry's proposed postponemeut of
month occurred the death of Eek. President
Andrew Johnson.
August was borne into our midst upon a
sea OF waters which threatened tooverspread
our entire Western country. The affairs of
! interest abroad were the sentence of the
petted Col. Valentine Baker to imprlson-
ment and the cente nnisl celebration of
O'Connell's birth. 1t was suddenly discov-
cred at Washington that Mr.. William
Welsh, Philadelphia gentleman who was
possessed of some facts In regard to the In
dian ring, was like Prof. Marsh, an individ-
ual of a malicious nature and pernicious in
fluence. The fieet-footed Goldsmith Maid
found her Waterloo at Rochester, where she
was beaten by Lulu in the four fastest sue
cessiye heats on record. The Germans dedi-
Gated, near Detmold, colossal statue to
Hermann, the conqueror of Vsrus. Poor
Grimwood's remains were found on the
shore OF the lake, and gallant officer, Ad-
miral Collins, died at his post of duty in the
South Atlantic. The suspension of the Bank
OF California at San Francisco balanced the
previous failure of Duncan, Sherman & Co. at
New York, and the honors were easy. The
little speck on the Turkish horizon began
midsble proportions.
With the Guibord row at Montreal and
the Clinton difficulties in Mississippi, Sep
TENDER opened stormily. As a matter of
feet literal storms swept over the lakes and
the steamer Equinox went down with all on
board. As a set off for these tragedies two
fsrces were put on the boards and enthu-
slsstically received. One was the fast mail
for the benefit of the New York morning
papers and the other the Winnebago duel.
Charlie Ross's abductor, Westervelt, re-
ceived the penalty of his crime. Indianols
Texas, was almost blotted out by terrible
gale, and other cities on the gulf suffered.
1t was some alienation for these disasters
that Secretary Delsno signiied his intention
of really resigning and seeking the shades
of private life. The commissioners who
had been sent out to buy the Black
Hills came back with empty hands,
urging that, as the Indians would not sell,
we had better take the lands by force. The
storms of the month were not confined to
this country alone, and France again suf-
fered terribly.
The Ohio election in October had been
breathlessiy awaited, bat the result was
sun % w AchNO Shlh6o NCAy as Sncy
were before. The Pandora returned from
the North, after very interesting but not
particularly profitable cruise. The noble
army of whitewashed received some recruits
when the report of the Red Cloud commits
sion was handed in. In this month
came England's turn to be flooded
by her rivers, but her losses were
light when compared with those OF
France previously. Elijah Dslano's
mantle fell upon Elisha Chandler, and so
delighted were the people to have the for
mer succeeded by any body that they bore the
latter's appointment a. most good humor-
eddy. Tine fumigstion of Brooklyn began at
this time, under the ministrations of Moody
and Sankey. A disastrous fire swept away
large portion of Virginia City, Nevada.
November brought the remainder of the
fall elections, with their decidedly mixed
results. There was a little furry over the
Cuban question, sort of putting out by the
government of feeler to the people. Evi-
IDENTIFY the result was unsatisfactory, for the
feeler was taken in when the president
prepared bis message to congress, and
the administration is now supposed
to be biding its time. Two frightful marine
casualties marked the month, the loss OF the
Pacific with all but two of those on board
and the burning OF the City of Waco with
every soul. The whisky trials in st. Louis
and elsewhere were the principal subjects OF
conversation all over the country. Vice
President Wilson was attacked by fit and
when he was supposed to have nearly re-
covered died very suddenly. His funeral
or funerals, for there were many of them,
were conducted with great ponp. st.
Louis was point of considerable interest
during the month, for aside from the whisky
trials, during the course of which the prose
cution got on the track of Lord Chamber
