A Sad Story.
'C h1so
E,1,,, ,lnn Nau- Narl- IVarlI


One of the saddest reverses of fortune
has occurred at Richmond, Va. A year
ago a young, beautiful orphan girl mar
ried man who had been a most devoted
lover. She was an heiress with a for
tune of 100000. She was without a
relative in the world. Almost worship
ping her husband, she confded her wealth
into his keeping without thought of
trouble. He lived luxuriantly, and made
many purchases for his especial good.
In few months his treatment changed
to harshness and neglect, and very soon
he abandoned her and fled to Europe.
He had sold all her property, she signing
every paper he presented He collected
all the money due her, stole her jewelry,
and left her penniless. She brayed the
storm of poverty as best she could for a
while, trying to keep in retirement.
But she had no means to pay strangers
for her board, and was compelled to go to
work. She is not educated sufficiently
for a teacher, even if she could get a
place. She is not strong enough for a
servant, and she is now peddling small
articles from door to door. She is not
yet eighteen years of age, and is very
beautiful. She isladylike and quiet, and
has the good will and respect of the peo-
pie, many of whom would help her more
were they not so poor.

A Tragic Test.

A singular murder case awaiting trial
in India has given rise to much legal
discussion as to whether the circum-
stances justify the charge. A juggler,
who alleged that he possessed some
power which rendered him bullet
proof" invited the prisoner in the case
to aim at him with a loaded musket,
assuring him that he might do 50 without
the slightest fear of producing any pain
full results. The prisoner accepted the
kind invitation, and with a loaded mus
ket presented to him by the juggler,
Immediately sent a bullet through his
head. 1t is urged that, as there was no
intention on the part of the prisoner to
kill the deceased, the charge of murder
cannot be maintained. The juggler was
thoroughly confident of his own invul-
nerability, and several of his relations
who were to be called as witnesses for the
defense were prepared to prove that,
although several times shot at before, he
was never hurt A similar case occurred
in England few years ago. A wizard
at one of the theatres begged one of the
audience as a favor to fire gun at him.
The spectator, thus invited, loaded the
gun Win Cnai sc VI ohol hc iau pio"Sie
with him for the express purpose of
testing crucially the alleged inyulnera-
bility of the wizard. The result was
painful in the extreme-the wizards
face was peppered with shot, and the
spectator who fired the shot was given
into the custody of the police. Both
narrowly escaped death-one by the gun
and the other by the gallows.
WHAT has made these railroad tiremen
so boodthirsty. Before they left their
positions they were tender men.

BIDS for transporting the mails in

Dlbo loI Transporting the mails IN
Chicago were opened on the 25th inst, by
the Postmaster General, for the work of cart
ing them between the postoffice and depots.
There were ten bidders, and the bids ranged
from $4,000 to $50, 900. The lowest bidder
was Charles Walsh, the present contractor,
and the service was awarded to him. The
government saves 81 800 in this small service
DISPATCHES received at the war de-
partment on the 25th inst, show general
feeling of anxiety in the disturbed districts,
but as there has been a judicious distribu-
ton OF troops, the officials feel conf
dent that any violence can be promptly sup
pressed. Adjutant General Drum telegraphs
that Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan will return from
the far west Immediately. Gen. Sheridan
was to meet Gen Sherman to-day at the
mouth of the Little Big Horn river, and he
there rece yed notification to return to
Chicago without delay.
THE cabinet was in session two hours
on the Goth inst, considering labor troubles.
1t was not deemed necessary to take further
action. The president and cabinet are of
opinion that quiet will soon prevail through
out the country.

THE LATEST.
AT BRAIDWOOD, ILL.

CHICAGO, July 30.-The Tribune's
Braidwood, ILL.,, special says: The first
regiment, Gen. Ducats' command ar
rived there Saturday afternoon. They
were reinforced along the line of the
Chicago & Alton railroad, until the
whole force amounted to about 1000,
with artillery and small arms. Their
mission is to reinstate some 400 colored
miners, who, when the regular coal miners
struck, some months ago, were gathered
up in Kentucky and southern Illinois,
and took the places of the strikers, and
they were unable, though armed, to
maintain themselves against the hun
dreds of determined white miners, and
were driven out of town. The mayor
was summoned and ordered to disperse
the crowd within twenty-five minutes,
which he did easily, and the military
then stacked their arms and encamped
for the night.
AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, July 30.-The following is
sent at the request of Mayor Heath and
is indited by him: "Many of the dis
patches from this city have greatly ex-
aggerated the disturbance during the last
few days. At no time have the lives or
property of law-abiding citizens been
seriously endangered, and but a small
proportion of railroad employees or other
working men of Chicago have engaged in
the riot. By the collision between the
rioters and the authorities on Thursday
and Thursday night, nine persons, all
rioters, have been killed and perhaps
thirty, more or less, seriously wounded.
No damage to property has been done at
any time, and but a slight interference
with business has occurred. The city is
now entirely free from rioters, and the
strikers are rapidly returning to their
various employments. There is no prob
ability of further outbreak or any dis
turbance of business. But for the
prompt and efficient arrangements made
by the authorities to suppress the dis
turbances the trouble would probably
have been quite serious"
AT ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, July y30.-Yesterday passed
very quietly, and matters are beginning
to assume their usual aspect A number
of companies of the citizens guard have
been disbanded, and it is quite probable
that all will be erelieved tomorrow, when
general business will be resumed, and
the Merchants re-opened. There does
not seem to be any doubt but that the
regular police force will be fully able to
take care of the city from this time on
AT PITTsBURe.
/ PITTsBURG, July 30.-The freight
blockade at this point is pretty well
broken. The strikers ON the Pensylva
MIA Central and Fort Wayne roads are
still out, but offer no resistance to the
movement of trains. Five trains of stock
left here on the Pennsylvania road fol
the east to-day; trains o. freight which
came first from Derry were transferred
to the Pan Handle road. The passenger
trains on all roads are running. The
strikers are firm, and claim that the road
| cannot resume full operations for wan
! of men.

down their arms and asked for quarter.
1t was granted, and Russian officer

THE OUTLOOK FOR THE GRANGE.
concluded

Not alone in this, however, do we see
signs of progress. The awakened intelli-
gence among farmers, the inquiry and study
rs to how we may %inaugnrate more intelli-
gent and successful methods of hnsbandry,
and how we may buy and sell to better adj
vantage, are significant of a forward move
ment in these directions, and give rich prom
ise for the future. Manufacturers and bust
ness men are also fast coming with us to the
conclusion that they, as well as ourselves,
have supported an unnecessary number of
men between the producer and consumer
that the surplus can be dispensed with to
our mutual advantage. They, as we'll as
ourselves, are rapidly learning that it will
be for the benefit of all when the producer
and consumer shall come into more friendly
and economical contact.
But while we pause to exchange congrat-
ulations; while we bend in reverent thank
fnlness tc the Great Master who has sustain
ed and blessed our labor; while we feel
grateful to the earnest women, scattered over
the length and breadth of The land, who
have stood shoulder to shoulder, been tried
and found faithful-let us not forget tina
'%'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"
and that our watchwora must still be fra
tcrnity and cooperation" 1t has just tram
spired that there will be a strong and sys-
tcmatic effort made to elect u legislature for
our next session which will either repeal or
materially modify our State railway law.
Beaten in the courts, an effort will be made
to nullify the effects of the peoples victory
by manipulating the law-making body.
Thanks TO Bro. Clarkson for sounding the
words of warning. and to the Helper, which
from week to week brings the matter home
TO us. There may be defects in some of the
minor details of our Internationally there
ate-but in the main it is a just one, and il
1t ever is prined of any of its small errors,
1t should not be done until Wall street has
learned to keep its lobby mt home.
The people are not likely to look with
special favor upon changes asked for by a
horde of paid lobbyists. The experience of
oar brothers in Wisconsin should be fresh in
our minds. The fruits of two years hard
labor destroyed ut the beginning of IL session
through the influence brought to bear upon
their Legislature. If not presnmptuous, we
would make one suggestion. We have the
