INDINAPoLIs, Ind, April 1.-THE
Sentinel of this morning asserts that
j. G. s. Harrison, q prominent banker
of this city, and for a number ofyears
government director in the Union
Pacific Road, is in possession Of facts
inculpating ex-Speaker Blaine in re-
ceiving $64, GOO previous to 1872 from
the Union Pacific Railroad, for which
worthless Arkansas bonds were de-
posted as security, and that Mr.. Har-
rison had endeavored to procure an
investigation by the Committee of
Directors, but was prevented on the
ground that such action would be
detrimental to Mr.. Blaine's political
prospects. Since the publication of
the above Mr.. Harrison has been
asked for a statement of the facts, but
declines to say more than if brought
before the Congressional Committee,
will tell all he knows without con-
cealment,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The story
credited to the indianapolis Sentinel
of yesterday has been in circulation
for some time past in private political
circles. Blaine states that it is entire
ly sensational and unfounded. The
story reported in Washington circles
was that the draft was paid for
Blaine's beneft by Morton, Bliss &
Co., pfNew York, and was after
wards taken up and paid by E. II.
Rollins, Treasurer of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. In taking
measures recently to correct it, Blaine
received the following letter:
"NEw YORK, April 6, lS76.-Hon.
J, g. Blaine, Washington-Dear Sir 1:
In answer to your inquiry we beg to
say that no draft, note or check or
other evidence of value has ever
passed through our books in which
you were known and supposed to
have any interest of any kind, direct
or indirect. Very respectfully,
MORTON, BLISS & Co."
Also another letter from the Treas
urer of the U. p. r. r., which contains
a like statement.

rushed from the spot, half crazed.
Some passers by returning home
late, came upon the body of the muir
dered man with the old tramp bend
ing over it.
The victim was conveyed to his
home, and the old vagrant lodged
in the jail.
Great was the excitement in the
town, and the people were highly in
censed against the man who had done
the deed, for no one doubted that the
tramp, Eben Hamlin, was the guilty
one.
The trial came on, and the prisoner
told his story, how he made an ap-
pointment to meet q man on the fatal
spot, and how when he came there, he
found the body of the murdered man,
ALREADY cold in death. When asked
whom he expected to meet, he would
not answer, and merely said that he
was not at liberty to state.
So Eben Hamlin was tried, sentcn-
ced and hanged for the assassination
Of Joseph Ward.
just before leaving his cell for the
gallows, he took from his pocket q
package of papers, and giving them
to the attending minister, said;
'.After / am dead, l request that
you will give this packet to the young
lawyer, Charles Carleton, but not till
1 am dead. VIII you do II?
The good parson promised and the
prisoner went to his death.
The minister did as requested, and
Charles received the legacy of the
criminal who had just been punished.
Locking himself in his apartments
Charles. broke the seal of the packet,
and read as follows,

STRIKE IN THE ORANGE MINE.

We understand that an important
development has lately been made in
the Orange mine, on Prospect noun
tain. The Orange in the early days OF
the district was one Of the productive
claims of it's section. 1t has yielded
something like $50, 600. The ore was
followed down to a depth of about $50
feet, when, the air becoming bad, it
was resolved to run a tunnel. Ac-
cordingly a tunnel was commenced at
a point a few hundred yards above
New York canyon, and for the last two
or three years the work has been pros
ecuted almost continuously. The
length of the tunnel must approx
mate 500 feet, a great portion OF it
passing through very bard rock. 1t
was designed to tap the ledge at a per-
pendicular depth of 400 feet. The
work was recently completed, result
ing in the finding Of 4 splendid ore
controlled by DR.. Nesbit, though, we
believe, the McGarry brothers also
" a considerable portion OF the stock
Of the company, the company being
incorporated. A substantial house Is
now in course Of construction at the
mouth of the tunnel, which would
seem to indicate that operations are to
be continued through the winter. The
tunnel was a great undertaking for
poor men, and we are truly glad that
their industry and enterprise has been
so handsomely rewarded. 1t is only a
question of time when Prospect noun
tain will turn out as valuable mines as
are to be found anywhere in the State.
Indeed there are a great many people
in this section who entertain the be-
lief that the grand old mountain will
yet prove the backbone of the dis.
lrict.

thor considers the most extraordinary
being ever subjected to the eyes OF 20
| olOgist. Let US, he says, imagine a
clown in a circus, with his limbs as far
| dislocated as possible, displaying tricks
/ of strength and agility on a heap of mon
ster cannon balls which he struggles to
surmount placing one foot formed like
an air bubble on one ball the other foot
on another, alternately balancing and
extending his body, folding his limbs on
each other, or bending his body upwards
like caterpillar; and then we shall
have but an imperfect idea Of the atti-
tudes which il assumes, and which II va
ries incessantly."
There is no organ which is sheltered
from the invasion of parasites; even in
man, cysticerci have been found in the
interior Of the lobes of the brain, in the
eyeball, in the heart, and IN the sub
stance of the bones, as well as in the spi-
nal marrow. Each kinG of worm has al
so its favorite place; and if it has not the
chance of getting there, in order to I'M
dergo its changes, it will perish rather
than emigrate to a situation which is
not suitable to il. One kind of worm in
habits the digestive passages another
occupies the fossa of the nose; a third,
the liver or the kidneys. Each animal
has its proper parasites, which can only
live in animals having peculiar affinity
to their peculiar host. Thus the ascaris
mystax, the guest Of the domestic cat,
lives in different species of felis, while
the fox. so nearly resembling in appear
ance the wolf and the dog, never enter
tains the tenia serrats, so common to
the latter animal. The same host does
not always harbor the same worms in
different parts of the globe. Thus the
large tapeworm of man, called bothrioce-
phalus, is found only in Russia, Poland,
and Switzerland; q small tapeworm, the
tenia mana, Is observed nowhere except
in Abyssinnia, and, strange TO say, the
natives consider their absence from the
body sign of i'll health; the anchylos-
toma is known only in the south Of Eu-
rope and the north of Africa, the flaria
of Medina in the east and west of Africa;
and the bilharzia, a terrible worm, has
been found only in Egypt-[Scientific

connected by a string to the usual kite

ribbon, as a non conductor. by which the
kite string could be safely held in the

The Blind Wife.

Bless my stars "Born blind ." dye ask
Never bit Of IL, Sir;
Why, the brightest eyes 'mongst the village gal
Belonged, you must know TO her.
You see was running an engine then,
The brave little ThiTth- nine,
And after the wedding Madge and
We lived along the line.
And while she worked in the little home
Shed manage TO keep an eye,
And sight the train as Ii thundered down
To watch her man go by.
One day there rose such an awful storm;
The wind blew fierce and strong,
The lightning flashed till my eyes were dazed
But still we ratified along.
On the mouth Of the granite gorge
Where the tickiish bowlders hung,
When sudden there cleaned across the track
The light from n lantern swung.
With a mighty strength and throb Of fear
1 slackened the engines speed
At last, thank God we came to a stand
At the mouth Of the narrow lead.
And, oh on the track afore our wheels,
Strnck down by the cruel gale,
Lay Madge, my Madge; and further ON
Were the bowlders blOckin' the rail.
For mebbe an hour the passengers, Sir,
Worked over my own brave wife:
But the lghtnin' stroke though IL took her sight,
Was wiliin' TO spare her life.
Well, Sir, they gin her pretty pile
For savin their lives, you see
But where's the gold that can buy the worth
OF her loytn' eyes to me?
o God twas hard when the baby came,
Twas then she felt the blow,
When she asked IL the child upon her breast
Was like to her man or no.
She laid her hands on the little face,
And then ON my Own-dear heart!
! choked the sobs back into my throat,
But the tears were bound to start.
Aud when she found that my checks were wet,
She lifted her face 10 me:
Don't worry, John ; Il is dark below,
But in heaven, dear, I'll see.'
