a Farmers GuiIiatine and How
it Worked.

From the Chicago Tribune, June IL.
James Moore. aged aaont thirty-
five, living oD farm near the Farmers
Institute, about fifteen miles south Of
this city, committed suicide at the
Lake House. Lafayette, Ind. last
night. No cause is known for the
deed. The manner in which 1T ~as ac-
conplished Is, perhaps, unparalleled
in horrid ingenuity. He came to the
Lake House Saturday, suid he was per-
feetiug an invention, aud would Eruba-
bly, stay week. but woaid visit his
home Monday, and prepaid his bill till
that time. He called at ths machiue
shop of Harding d Sop, had - large,
new broadax and two bars Of inch
wide by | inch thick iron, IS inches
long, which he had invited 10 the head
ofthe AK. Ga either side, fastened to
these bars i'll the shape of handle TO
an AK. he had system Of woOden bars
feet long, the extreme end OF which
was fastened to a cross piece, secured
to the floor by hinges. The ak WAS
raised and held to It's nearly perrendic-
ular position by double cord fastened
to the wall. Between the cords stood a
candle. arranged SO that when the can
die burned down to the cords it would
bum them off. and the TX fall. Where
the ak would strike be placed a small
box. opened at one side, in which,
when found, was his heed with some
cotton that had been chloroformed.
His chin was held up from his neck by
a stick run across the box. through
holes on either side, holding his head
firmly la position, He was strapped
tightly to the floor with two straps. one
around his legs, another about his
arms and breast. The straps were
both screwed TO the floor, rendering it
impossible to move 1t is Supposed
that lie set his AK, lit the candle,
strapped himself to the floor, put his
head into the box with the chloro-
formed cotton, aud was probably in
sensible when the ax fell The NIX aud
fixings would weigh about fifty pounds,
aud would fall a distance OF from ten to
fifteen feet. His head was completely
severed from his body, and the AK
buried in the boards beneath.

THE WAR AGAINST TILDEN.

Samuel J TideD, Of New York, is a
candidate fer the Democratic nomina-
tiOn tol President, at ST. Louis. lie
was elected Governor of New York at
time when rings were plnnderlng the
State, as the Administration rings IN
der Graut are now plunderng the
whole country. He made war against
Tammauy, aud the canal rings; routed
Boss Tweed $ forces at every point,
and drove them from their strong holds
IN New York City. He is still bathing
with the canal ring, and only IA week
or two ago succeeded in breaking thai
combiuauon by convicting one OF it,
leading spirits.
The course of Governor Tilden in
prosecuting those thieves has arrayed
their whole strength against hin at ST.
Louis. The New York Express, the
organ of the fammany ring. is oppts-
ing him With all its might and iaaiu,
and q dt legation of the friends of the
convicted pnnderers has been appoint

known as practical retormer; man
whose public and private character l.
without stain, aud whose every act will
bear the closest scrutiny. lie is feared
by the Administration Republicans, as,
next to Bfistow, he is the choice OF the
reform element Of the Republican
party for President, and they have
united with the remnants of the Tweed
and canal rings, OF New YORK. in their
crusade ag aust him, and are ow Iu-
tlusltiously circulating the report thai
he is Catholic. 1t such were the
fact II should not in the least detract
from bis qualifications for President, as

but it is wholly and utterly false.
Tlldeu S acts MS Governor OF New York
prove mors than promises, that he is

Suspected Fenian Movement

ST. ALBANs, VT, Oct. 81. Secret prep
arations for another Fenian iavasion have
begun in northern Vermont. About a
week ago there was seen, near Highgate
Falls, at about halfpast IL at night, what
appeared to be three loads of hay passing
along the road. The clashing of iron
about the loads and the time of night ex-
cited the suspicion of different parties
along the way. The loads were followed
some little distance, and, feeling under
the hay, large cannon were discovered.
Following the three loads OF hay was 6
large load of boxes which might have
passed for sewing machine boxes, but up
on closer examination, proved to be am
munition. Nothing was thought of thi;
discovery at first, but when, day or two
later, other teams, heavily loaded, wer,
heard and seen passing along in the same
direction, and in the night time, the PEG
pie in that vicinity were reminded of tn
fact that twice before when the Fenian
made attacks on Canada they were begun
in similar way. There are many of tn
people who have seen these things firm
ly believe that another move on Canad
is contemplated this fall or early in tn
spring.

1t is well known that several OF
the Turkish Provinces have been in
open revolt for some time past, and
whenever Turkey has met success in
subduing these revolts, her cruelties
and barbarities have shocked the
whole cIristendom. Treaty compli-
cations and jealousy Of each other
and fear of war has prevented the
more powerful of the nations of Eu-
rope from interfering, to protect the
innocent and helpless, and have quiet
ly acquiesced in these slaughters, and
maintained : strict passiyity. Rus
STA has now interfered and the voice
of the Gar rings in the ears of the
long sick man." 1t is supposed
that the Cars influence has had
much to 10 with these revolts in the
Turkish Provinces, his we'll trained
officers oftimes leading the revolters
in battle and planning their cam
paigns, And it now appears as if
Russia was about to throw off tho
mask entirely, and openly confront
the Turkish legions with her own well
disciplined and well armed soldiers.
1t is now openly stated that the Czar
has authorized q loan Of 100000
rubles, and has made arrangements
for the passage of 1000 troop daily
through Roumania. The war pros
pect has to do with US. 1t has raised
the price of our securities over the
ocean. 1t has raised the price O
gold here and also of flour. TIL,
whole civilized world should protes
against war and should cultivate thu
arts Of peace. But if a great Euro
pean war must come, it will be gooC
thing for this country in dollars anC
cents. Our larger surplus materia
would find ready market, notably 0
the provision kind. The Eastern ques
ton is now the all-absorbing one, ant
all its varied changing phases will h
watched closely.

The present heated campaign will
terminate on Tuesday next, The
caldron has boiled fercely, there has
been no, lack Of fuel or hands to han
die it. The merits and dement's of
candidates, planks and platforms have
been echoed and rc-echoed through
the land. Tons Of campaign docu-
ments, giving exact and all necessary
information, have daily loaded the
mails. TorchlighL professions with
banners, notices and music have been
the rage to wake up the indolent and
careless voter, creating enthusiasm
and showing our foreign brethren the
best side of our politics, and that
Uncle Sam is wide awake, especially
just before an election. We take it
that it is the duty of every man to be
politically educated, sufficient to give
a strong reason for his faith and
practice. But the facts are that
large numbers never vote. Some are
hindered; but it is the imperative
duty of every man to vote, and to be
so interested as to see that lie has
right men to vote for. 1t is This in
difference, this don't care on the part
of some Of our best men that causes
the worst and lowest element of cit
izenship to succeed. Our birth-right
is our right to vote. The Massachu.
sets State census of 1875 gave $751;
600 voters, and the largest vote even
cast in that State was but 1876, 900.
At their election last autumn when
the Republicans had to recover the
State, the vote was l72, 493-less than
one-half. The census reported 49,.
757 legal voters in Boston, yet il
their last election they threw but 81,
329. They have discussed the mat
ter in their Legislatures to compe
their voters to vote, A large number
of these absentees from the polls
everywhere, are the clean, pure
worthy, conscientious men, who wan
to know ,oho they vote for, an(
rather than to run risks will not vote
