A wife Deliberately Starves HefseA

For many years past there has been living
in Indian Creek township, Monroe county,
N,Y.,a married couple named Die Ks About
a week ago Zachariah Dicks, the husband
made a will in which it was provided tnat,
should he die first all of his property snoulu
20 to the children, and they were to provloe
for their mother until her death. Mrs
Dicks very sternly objected to such dlspo,
sition of the property and demanded that
the the will be changed, but her husoano
needed her not.
Becoming convinced that coaxing, woulo
do>po GOOD the old lady began to threatep
and finally left her husbands ROOF: sne
never would taste another morsel OF 1ooo
This threat did not move the old man, put
the old lady kept her word. For four,
teen long days she ate not mout11ul' anu anu
only occasionally would she wet her Mps s
with water. Friends and neighbors called
on her often to try to turn her from mel
dread full purpose, but she would not ever
see any of them. At the approach OF loo1-
steps to her house she would crawl unaei
the bed or hide in some other manner, anc
thus she finally adheredto her vow unel nsi
death came to her release. The deceased
was sixty-ive years Of age.

Political Conse4ueness.
INew York Herald of yesterday t

Public scern for the men who have 80
abused the trusts reposed in them, and in
dignation for the shame in which the nation
and republican government are involved by
their acts /; hatred, contempt and resent
ment will occupy the mind of the nation for
a time as the scandalous disclosures con-
tinue but the case will not rest there.
Other considerations will inevitably follow
practical considerations and the main
points of this further consideration will be
what elements of our society are responsible
and what is the remedy-how shall we
escape the further operations of evils that
threaten to rot out the vitality OF our politi-
cal system? Out of thoughts like these,
dwelt upon in every city home and in every
farm house-frOm the mind of the farmer
behind his plow, who wonders what
he can do to save from the Belknaps
that Republic which lie fought to save from
an armed enemy; from the reflections of
every citizen in every sphere of life, will
come the noiscless, steady currents of
opinion that united must constitute the
sweeping torrent of public purpose; the
great determination of the people to put
down relcntlcssly tho official thieves: to
p,lrrc the national offices of every scOun-
drei who believes that he holds one, not to
perform duty, but to fill his pockets; to
take the country ont of the hands of aa-
venturers, contractors, lorgers, traders,
brbc takers; to so clear the moral atmos-
phcre that it will only be necessary to find
out that lnan is a rogue in order to secure
not merely his exclusion from office but his
incarceration in jail Here will be the tide on
whose flood it will be possible to purify and
: reconstruct our political Administration.

[Philadel phia Record of esterday.]
The universal feeling of the country in
General Belknap's case having had full
week in which to give itself unqualified
vent, and the feeling being literally all one
way, some of the rival politicians OF Con-
gress are now evidently considering the af-
fair in it's possible relations to the Presi-
DENTAL canvass. The result has already
been a scene of parliamentary debate re-
minding one forciby of the great tactical
matches in the case of jeff. Davis and am
nesty. It will be remembered that the am
nesty debate was gradually developed into
a contest for party capital. Of course,
such things are unavoidable, especially
during a year of Presidential election. The
RepuJlicans are determined that the Bel
knap case shall be put into q shape that
will do the least possible injury to their
party, while the Democrats are equally de-
termined to reap all possible political bene-
fits fthe case for their party.
This was the origin of the great passage
at arms the other day when, during four
hours, Mr.. Blaine receivedtne concentrated
Are of the Democratic members. The Re-
publicaps, says the press dispatch, charged
the Democrats with letting Marsh escape,
with his documents, while the Democrats
charged the Republicans with frightening
away witnesses. Doubtless for party pur,'
poses it is thought necessary to handy sucl
Charges. Mr.. Blaine was determined tt
c,lt the rank and file of his party as free al
nossible from the Belknap load. This pur
nose his opponents amiably sought to foil
and hence the displays Of sharp debating
lately witnessed.
