THE MAN WITH THE SILVER HEAD.
Count Paul de Gabria published
in his travels the following reminis-
cence of Lima: zone day when di-
ming with the French Consul THE
Man with the Silver Head'' was an
nounced. He was Frenchman own
ing small property near the city.
While taking walk some months
ago be heard the cries of agony, and
Fastening in the direction from which
they came, surprised three brigands
one of whom held travellers head
between his knees, while another cut
his ears off and third stabbed him.
The undaunted Frenchman killed
one of the villains, whereupon the
two others fled. At this moment,
and while attending to the dying
traveller, Peruvian Gendarmes ap-
peared upon the scene, one Of whom,
thinking the Frenchman a murderer
with a powerful horizontal blow OF
his sword, cut the top part of his
head clean of, laying the brain bare.
The Frenchman, after lying an hour
unconscious, revived, picked up the
upper part of his head, walked home
in the hot sun, and had silver plate
made in lieu Of the original scalp
which had shrunk too much"

DECENT POLITICAL EVENTS
IL indicate speedy return OF the
Democratic party to supreme power in
the nation. The House of Representa-
tives is now Democratic by large
majority; the government Of more than
one half of the States is administered
fby Democrats; the party enters upon
the Presidential contest with the
bri ghtest hopes, and nnder the most
substantial encouragement.
The wonderful revelations of rascal
ity and corruption on the part of Re.
publican leaders, which have burdened
the press and Mortified the people dur
ing the past three years, make it clear
ly the duty of every man to take an
active part in the great contest of the
present year. More than at any pre-
vious time in the history of the coun-
try, a trustworthy daily newspaper is
now necessary to every citizen, in or
der that he may intelligently discharge
his political duties. The CHICAGO
MORNING COURIER is consistent
Democratic newspaper. It will be de-
voted to the work of aiding in rescuing
tho nation from the party that has de-
bauched it's service, squandered its
treasure and enslaved its liberties. 1t
will advocate speedy return to specie
payments, but believes that this result
should be brought about by economical
management Of the Government, and
not by arbitrary enactment. 1t be-
lieves in greenbacks at par, and the
same currency for the rich and the
poor. It will advocate Home Rule,
Free Trade and public economy, the
old cardinal principles Of tue Demo
cratic party.
The Courier has established wide
spread reputation as a first class news
paper. The aim of its management ie
to make it all that the public in these
hurrying days can desire, namely
a complete newspaper. Every facility
known to modern journalism will be
utilized to insure the prompt presenta-
ton Of all important intelligence from
all parts of the world, while the utmos,
care will be excised to CLEAN only such
as is worth printing. In short, the
Courier will give all the news al
promptly as any other paper, and con-
densed into more attractive and read.
able form than the blanket sheets.
Terms-Mail subscriptions, postage
free, six dollars per annum, or fifty
cents per month, in advance.

LOSS OF THE SCHOONER UTICA.

POLICE NoTEs.-Yesterday noon Officer Miles
was called to the house of "Black" Pat Sulli-
van, SO called, on Centre street, by the cries of
Mrs. s., who was being severely chastsed by
her husband. On entering the house the wo.
man showed the officer broom stick, or what
was left of it, after her husband had pounded
her black and blue with it. The officer was
about to take Sullivan in charge when he set
upon him like tiger. The officer knocked
him down with his billy, but the man paid no
attention to it until the operation was repeated
several times. A large crowd rushed to the
house and at one time it looked squally for the
officer, but he was equal to the emergency, and
took his man to the station. 1t was found that
his head was cut in several places, while his
eyes were not very serviceable as organs of
sight When he is in good trim it is difficult
for two officers to capture him, as some of the
police we'll know. DR.. Brooks dressed his
wounds, and this morning he will renew his
acquaintance with the inside of our jail
Offer Rice recovered a fine gold pen and
holder yesterday which was undoubtedly stolen.
The owner can find them at the station.
A fellow went into Freeman's oyster house
yesterday, and before leaving stole two pepper
boxes. He was arrested by officer Miles.
