CONCERNING TWEED.
Rumors In New York That the Boss
VIII be Released and go to England.

The New York correspondent of the New
ark Daily Advertiser furnishes that paper
with the information that arrangements are
being made for the release of Tweed from
Ludlow stress Jail, and for the abandon
ment of all suits and prosecutions against
him on the basis of an assignment of all the
property he has left for the city's benefit.
He further says: .s lrr
''It is understood that the Boss will then
go to England and join his son. To this set
clement all official parties seem agreed; also
Mr.. 0Conor, to whom Tweed has written a
letter, which / have read, in which he
throws himself entirely on the mercy of
those he has wronged, and agrees to be gov
erned wholly in the premises by whatever
Mr.. OConor and associates may dictate.
ITO the above it may be added that the
associated press will soon have furnished to
them lat least such is now the understand
ing) romantic and veritable narrative of the
way the Boss escaped Jail, of his thereafter
adventures and of the tomfoolery which at
tended his discovery in Spain. 1t is funny
story. 1t seems that the officers who had
Tweed in charge were wholly innocent of
any completely with him"
Mr.. OConor is no longer connected with
the suits against Tweed, having resigned all
active participation in them some time ago,
ond they are now entirely in the hands of
Attorney General Fairchild and Mr..
Wheeler II. Peckham.
Such a compromise as the one al
luded to above can not be eff
fected without the knowledge and
consent of District Attorney Phelps, who
says he has no knowledge whatever of the
progress of any such negotiations. They
might, of course be on foot without his
knowledge, being conducted by the attor-
ney general, who is his superior officer, and
can, If in his judgment it seems proper. di-
rect the district attorney to enter a noILe
prOSequi
Mr.. Peckham, as he has done since these
reports arose, declines to speak about them,
saying that at a proper time any action
taken by the attorney general will become
publicly known.
Mr.. 0'Conor has, without much doubt re-
ceived letter of the character indicated
above.
The report yesterday took this shape:
Tweed was to be set at liberty last night;
which it is apparent, from the state of facts
above set forth, was groundless rumor.

An Acute Peanut.
TDanbury News.l

A train boy on an Illinois road found a
rather tough customer in an old gentleman
of composed mien, who received all shots as
if he were bullet proof. The boy bombarded
him with papers, and pamphlets, and can
dies, and bound books and nuts, and fruits
of one kind and another. But it was no
good. Had the. elderly party been lined
inside with brass he could not have shown
greater indifference. The boy fretted under
his treatment, as was plain to be seen. He
had passed the cigars some 80 times, and
without success when he said. in a tone of
desperation
'Try some of these cigars, and if they
don't kill you within month I'll give you
the money back"
The man was somewhat amused by that,
but he had the boy. He said
'If am dead how can you give me the
money!"
''rll give it to your family, then"
But amt got no family"
'Well I'll give it to the family next
door," persisted the boy.
"But there amt no family next door," said
the man, with the smile frightening his
face aaa slt
"Oh, there'll be one move in when they
hear you are dead" was the quick reply
The elderly passenger shut up like bor-
rowed knife.

AntediIuvian Printing.
London Echo.l

A great deal has been said as to the in
ventor of the art of printing, the period
when the invention itself first saw the light,
and the locality where it was born. Two
out of three of these points need not, how
ever. excite discussion. 1t is a good while
since the remark that there is nothing new
under the sum- was made, but anterior to
that remote period-namely, some 1000
years ago-the first printing machine exist
ed in Babylon If proof be required of this
rather startling assertion it may be easily
found, for it exists no farther off than Trim
ity college, Cambridge. In that place there
is preserved a solid cylindrical figure
about seven inches in length and three
inches in diameter at each end. On the sur
face of this miniature cask-like cylinder
minute and finely wrought character are
engraved, and these are arranged in vertical
lines. 1t is, therefore, striking example of
the ingenuity of the ancients, and shows
their method of preserving and multiplying
national or family records. 1t is quite evil
dent from the indented lettering of the
Babyloni-n printing machine-for such it
really is-that some means of applying
pressure to it was in use among the Ninevite
typos" This being so, the primitive appIi-
ance at Cambridge must be said to embody
the identical principle of the newspaper
machines of the present day.

Washington Special to the Chicago Times
There is trouble and dismay in the Indi-
ana camp The craftsmanship of Morton
goes no further than winning political vic
tory and securing for himself the largest pos
sible share of the spoils. Success for any
other end does not come within the scope of
his character. The party is machine by
the skillful manipulation of which he
can extract so much plumber from the ma
tional treasury for himself That he helps
others plumber likewise is his way of hand
ling the machine. As cooperating pirate
with Chandler, Wells, Blaine & Co., and the
powers of the lobby, he has just succeeded
in the unholy work of smothering the voice
of quarter of million majority of the peo-
ple and placing usurper in the executive
chair The seat which has for eight years been
warmed by "a drunken soldier" is scarcely
filed before Morton begins to claim the re-
ward of his rascality. The hungry Gro wd of
sycophants from Indiana fill the hotel lob
bies and clamor for what he has promised
them. Poor devilsl They dare not ask ex-
cept through Morton, and to ask through
him at this writing endangers their standing
with the electoral fraud of the white house,
who has assumed virtue, il he has it not, and
repudiates the counsel and championship
of the rascals who put him there. In vain
has Morton pleaded for the retention of his
pet postmaster general, that insipid political
nonenity, whose only claim to place in
Grants cabinet was the salary grab and the
consequent repudiation of his people at
home. Tyner' head falls into the basket.

To night the drunkenness and rowdyism
is rapidly on the increase, and brawls are of
hourly occurrence. One row between whites
and blacks, in front of the Star Office, grew
to such proportions that the police had q
lively fight before it was quelled. Pistols
have been drawn in several of the brawls,
and some indiscriminste shooting has been
done Too much fire-water and excitement
have been at the bottom of all the disturb

there would be trouble from a democratic
mob, or any attempt at violence, proved to
be great scare-crow; but republicans were
so scared of the scare-crow that 20 rounds of
ammunition were supplied to each man of
the regular troops which took part in the
parade to-day As further precaution,
Hayes was constantly surrounded by q
platoon of police, even when he marched

At Townsville, N. c., on the evening of
February %, number of guests had assem-
bled at the residence of Mrs. Forney, widow
of the late Thomas Forney. formerly of
Montgomery county, North Carolina.
to celebrate her marriage with
William B. Thomas, son of the late j. w.
Thomas The appointed hour had come,
the Joyous tones of laughter had ceased
while the numerous friends and relatives
took their places around to await with eager
interest the approach of the two who were
soon to take the solemn VOWS that would
bind their hearts together "for veal or Woe"
A moments pause and they made their ap-
pearance. The officiating minister, the Rev.
J. W. Lewis, of the North Carolina confer
ence, took his stand, opened the discip-
line and began to read: Dearly beloved,
we are gathered together here in the sight
of God" etc.. and when he reached the sec
ond paragraph, which begins thus: Into
which holy estate these two persons come
now to be joined" and the word "into" fell
from his lips, the figure of the bride began
to droop, at first upon her knees then 81
lently falling backward on the floor in
lifeless swoon. So great was the consterna-
ton of all present that they seemed rooted
spellbound to the floor, and for a mo-
ment no one was able to render assistance.
Then there was rush-she was borre away
from the room-restoratives administered,
everything that kindness or human heart
could suggest was done to bring her back to
life and consciousness, but all in vain. The
edict had gone forth, and in few minutes
she who was to have been happy, joyous
bride, exulting in the, congratulations of
friends, and participating in the festivities
of the occasion, was the bride of death.

was carried into the house by the servant

should be, the train arrived at Pittsburg.

way:
