A Wonderful Girl.

y correspondent to the Eagle
gives a startling account Of very
singular phenomenon witnessed in a
young girl residing three miles over
the hills from Ephrata. Drs. Beck
and Jerome report the facts. She is
daughter of Edward Hyatt, and is
in her thirteenth year Up to within
two weeks ago she appeared perfectly
healthy, but recently strange and
mysterious affection has seized hold
upon her. She las gradually increas-
ed in size to an alarming extent.
From her feet to her head her limbs
are swollen, and she appears nearly
twice as heavy as she was two weeks
before, when the fact is she is much
lighter. Her skin is drawn very
tightly over her flesh, and it more re-
sembles an inflated bladder than any
thing else. The poor child suffers
little pain, but she is deeply NORTH
ed at her shocking appearance. None
of her clothing fits her, and she says
she feels as light as feather An
experiment was made in bath tub
filled with warm water, and she ac-
tually tloated like a life-preserver.
Her entire body is pulled, and her
checks, arms and limbs seem swollen
and ready to burst When the cuti-
Gle is punctured with a silver needle
air escapes in puffs, and in this man.
ner the skin is prevented from burst
ing. 1t is not dropsy. The patient
says she feels light enough to fly, and
as the case is a mystery to the physi-
clans it is intended to take her to

Deaai, from ~ Blow.

River men and the public generally
are considerably interested in the de-
tails of a tragedy which is now under>
going le-al investigation. Last Fri,
day evening, while the steamer Virgie
Lee was lying at the Cincinnati wharf,
colored deck hand named Charles
Smith, from the steamer Courier, came
on board. He was intoxicated, and
went into the water closet. David
Rhodes, the first engineer of the Lee,
found him there and ordered him from
the boat. Smith refused to go, and
during the alteration which ensued, it
is alleged Smith was struck on the head
with a monkey wrench and knocked
senseless.
After regaining consciousness Smith
staggered from the boat, and went Oh
board the Courier. He complained of
terrible pain IL his nead, and died
that night about twelve o'clock. The
body was put ashore at this place and
a post mortem examination held which
disclosed the fact that the mans skull
was fractured. Five ounces of clot>
ted blood were found in the brain. Up
on the arrival of the steamer Lee at
this port, Rhodes was arrested and
lodged in jail. He claimed, however
to be entirely innocent of the charge
against him. and said he had no knowl.
edge of the affair. The matter will be
fully investigated. Standard

Alexander c. Quarter, convicted Oc-
tober 16, 1871, and sentenced for
eight years to the penitentiary, for

was cashier. All of our citizens will
remember the failure of the Wheeling

1871, the panic among its depositors,
the CONSERVATION among business
men; and the excitement among all
classes Of the community consequent
upon that event. The arrest of Mr..

~Among other evidences of
Hayes's desire to reform the civil SER
vice is the appointment of one Paul
Strobach to be Receiver of Public
Moneys in Montgomery, Ala. Ac
cording to a trustworthy Washington
correspondent, Strobach is a bad type
of carpet-bagger. He was dropped
in Montgomery by the army in 1865,
and was indicted and tried for q most
SHAMEFUL crime, and narrowly cscap-
cd conviction. Strobach, however,
had the endorsement Of Spencer, who
owed his election to the United States
Senate to barefaccd corruption and
fraud.

Murphy and Moral SuasiOm.

Few persons in this city who have
not visited the temperance meetings
in Concert Hall have any idea to what
extent Mr.. Francis Murphy has push
ed his work in behalf of the drunkard.
Mr.. Murphy says that he believes
heartily in moral suasion by appeal
ing to the honor of the drinking man.
He did not believe in TRADE against
the seller or manufactures, for there
were honorable men engaged in the
business. The reporter expressed
some surprise thata temperance lect-
urer should acknowledge this, but Mr..
Murphy said that he knew from expe-
rience that such was the case. There
were many sellers who believed it no
sin to sell, who regarded the traffic as
an honest trade Of the country and
who endeayored to get the best brands.
He knew that he should be ostraeised
by many for saying ii, but moral sua-
sion was the only method to raise the
drunkard. Legislation couldn't doit,
and he didn't believe in meddling
with laws and politics.
Prohibitory laws, such as were en-
acted in Massachusetts two or three
years ago, were mentioned, and Mr..
Murphy expressed his disapproval of
them. The prohibitory party in Mas
sachusetts, which expected three
times the number of votes it obtained
in November, was characterized as a
fizzle. 1t did not show either tact or
talent, and Mr.. Murphy always
thought there was considerable NAL
ice in such party. 1t was utterly
impossible to enforce a prohibitory
law, and the whole thing was face
Moral suasion was far better, and
ninety per cent. of those who had
signed his pledge had kept it.
"How long do you intend remaining
here p was asked.
"Well, sir, / shall remain here un-
til you see this city conquered by
moral suasion. This is what We must
work for
1t may be interesting to know how
Mr.. Murphy is supported while here.
His expenses are provided for by the
general committee, but, like the evan
gelists, Moody and Sankey, he re-
ceives no fixed salary. He is in earn,
est in his work, and is understood to
have refused a large pecuniary offer
in order that he might be untrammel-
ed in every respcct.-PhHadelphio

FROM LOUISIANA

Last Saturday the members of the
Republican Legislature, of Louisiana
held caucus, in which the opinion
was expressed that they could not
maintain their claim to the state
Government. Packard has broadly
stated that he had as good a claim
to the Govermership of Louisiana as
Hayes had to the Presidency, and that
he would maintain his claims st all
hazards. But the withdrawal of
Federal troops and Federal support
will nccessitate an unconditional sur
render. The Republicans of LOWS
lana will follow the example of their
brethren of South Carolina.
The Democrats of the South have
from year to year been successful at
the polls but have been restrained
from taking possession of the state
Governments by Federal power They
have not given way TO despair, bat
have endured wrong because they
thought they were right and had
firm faith in the final triumph of
their cause of the right. At last
their hopes are about to be realized.
The Republicans on the other hand
feel that they are in the wrong and
consequently are overcome with NOR
al cowardice. They know they have
no right to the offices they claim.
They know the nation does not be-
]icve them when they say they have
carried an election. In several other
Southern States the Republican party
collapsed as soon as Federal support
was withdrawn, end it will inevitably
be the case in Louisiana. May the
people Of Louisiana not be disappoint
4 in their hopes, and may peace and
prosperity again settle on her shores
aud never he driven thence forever.

AN EARLY EXTRA SESSION.

1t has been supposed that the OK
ira session of Congress would not be
called to meet until about the second
week IN June, but the President indi-
Gates his purpose to issue the call as
soon as the Louisiana difficulty is set
tied. He seems to think that it will
not be deferred longer than two or
three weeks, and the extra session
may be fixed for date early in Nay
It is regarded quite important that
the earliest date practicable be fixed,
so that important legislation may be
disposed of before the extremely hot
weather begins. The wants of the
army must be provided for; the funds
for the navy are short, and so many
other less important subjects of legis-
lation demand the attention of Con
gress that it is thought the session
may be protracted to two or three
months, even if the Southern ques-
ton is out of the way.
1t is certain, however, that at pres
ent there has been no change from the
day agreed upon in Cabinet, two weeks
ago, which was that the session
should commence on the 4th of June.

Shocking Murder and Mail Rob-
berry.

] OtI -
From an extra of the Keyser Echo
of April 9th, We CLEAN the following
account of murder and mail rob
berry:
Our community was thrown into
great excitement on Yesterday by tho
news of shocking murder commit
ted on Tuesday, the Sd inst, near Pc
tersburg, Grant county.
David IIizer, young man carry
ing the mail between Moorcfeld, Har-
dy county, and Franklin, Pendleton
county, was shot and murdered on
the morning Of the Sd inst, about tive
aad a half miles from Petersburg, III
the Gap on the road TO Petersburg,
between the hours Of 8 and | ! o'clock
a. NJ. On the evening Of the 4th his
body was found in the river stripped
Of most Of its clothing, three bullet
holes through it, supposed to have
been made with navy revolver. The
mail sack was also found in the river
near the body, having been opened
and robbed Of it's contents.
From our latest information, cor
oner's jury was holding all inquest
over the body in Petersburg, which
commenced at O'Clock P. NJ, Of the
4th inst, and adjourned at II p. NJ.
until the next morning, without hay
ing finished its lalors on account OF
the sudden illness of one Of the jti-
rors.
They have under arrest q man
named w. Seymour Douglas, against
whom we are informed, the circum-
stantial evidence is very strong. 1t
is reported that Douglass was out OF
town the 81 inst, was known to be
in INDECENT circumstances, soon after
applied to a certain man to cash a
large check for him, and large
quantity Of money was found on his
person, with q small piece Of register
ed envelope among it. 1t was also
known that two registered letters
were in the mail sack, as noted by
the postmaster at Petersburg, one
from Franklin, Pendleton county,pre-
sumcd to contain considerably over q
thousand dollars for party in Key
ser. Great indignation and excite
ment prevails at Petersburg, Moore
field, and throughout the community,
as David HiZer was one Of the most
honest, upright, faithful mail carriers
in these mountains, everybody know
ing him, being willing to trust him
with money or anything else.
So great was the excitement at Pc
tersburg that it was thought the pris-
oner would be lynched if the facts
drawn out by the investigation should
leave no doubt Of his guilt. We trust
there will be no mob-violence, but Jus
ticc will be done

MIt is encouraging to learn
from so good an authority as Mr.. Jay
Gould that Hayes entertains no
doubt of the validity of his title. He
believes it to be as good as that of
any of his predecessors. Hehas said
that if he had thought for moment
that there was any doubt whatever of
his right TO the Presidential office he
would Not have assumed the duties"
MY tear poys," Mr.. Fagin may be
supposed to have remarked as he
pocketed a fine silk handkerchief
which the Artful Dodger had just
brought in from the street, my tear
poys, do you pelievc ! could ever pillow
mine nose on dish wipe if / fought
mine title wasn't clear ?" And Mr..
Fagin probably shed pious tear at
the thought of the thing, and then
wiped away the tear with the fine silk
handkerchief which the Artful had
snatehed..

In the future they will hesitate at no

Federal army will not only be called
into rcquisition in the South, as for
merly, to control the results Of elec-

the North and the satraps and bayo-
nets of the centralists will be sent

but let no man vainly imagine that it
will not come topass under the Hayes
In times past we have vcntured upon
similar predictions, that were met
with incredulity, but they were all
fulfilled, and this one will be, unless
the people will set up counter rev
olution and drive the conspirators by
4 l, p bn n
merd.
We have lost faith in the force of
public opinion over these men. They
care nothing-for public opinion. They
laugh at it and scorn it, and trample
it under foot Public opinion, as eX-
pressed through the ballot-bsx in
November, 1876, only provoked their
derision, and they successfully defied
and defeated it by installing as Presi-
dent the man who was defeated by a
popular and an electoral majority.
Reason, argument, justice and law
weigh nothing with these men. Force
alone will dislodge them from their
usurped power We may search his
tory in vain to find an instance where
a usurper surrendered to reason or law
Usurpcrs surrender to material force
alone, and that must be the final re-
sort Of the American people to drive
the Radical leaders from the offices
they have stolen and usurped. Hayes
broken pledges were only part of
the infamous scheme of usurpation.
They were made to secure for him
foothold in the executive mansion,
and were broken as soon as that was
gained. From the usurper and swind-
Ter he will naturally graduate into
schemer, and the American people
had us well make up their minds now
that The Presidency four years hence
can only be changed at the point of
the bayonet, and take steps accord
ingly. and make sure that the bay
onets in their hands will win victo-
~ for constitutional seli-govcrnment.
