The Hon. Charles Gayarrc of this city. we
understand, is an applicant TO the President
for the position of naval officer OF this port,
and we but express the hopo and earnest wish
Of tho people Of this city and State. OF all par
ties and classes, that the President will
confer this honor on Mr.. Gayarrc, who has
many claims. to public respect and confidence.
The highest of these claims Is OF course his
literary merits. which Is Of worldwide rocog-
milton. His history Of Louisiana ut once gave
him distinguished place among men OF let
ters both in this country and in Europe, Mr.
Bancroft and Mr.. Prescott being among the
first TO pronounce an encomium upon the
work and to welcome him into the brother
hood of literature IA worthy member.
His Life of Philip of Spain has also been
highly commended by competent judges, for
its accuracy of narration, deep research, and
beautifully graphic style, These are his prin-
cipal works, and they will perpetuate his
name. All enlightened governments are the
protectors and patrons Of literary men, and
that Of our own country has given many cvi-
dcncos of its appreciation of this class of its
citizens. We hope President Hayes will do
honor to his administration by appointing
Mr. Gayarre to some position worthy OF his
high character If he cannot place the naval
Office ut his disposal. Such appointments
would give tone to the public service.

A LIFE OF FIFTY YEARS IN THE CHURCH AND
THIRTY IN THE PAPACY.
The present Pope Plus TX, has reigned
longer than any pontiff that has occupied the
papal chair, and has seen more changes and
revolutions during his papacy, than any OF his
predecessors: yet during the long period Of
his life and services, no enemy of his church
has ever found aught to complain or aught
to say against his purity, holiness and virtue.
Plus TX, Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti
was born in Sinigaglia, in the States of the
Church, May 10, 1892, and is consequently to-
day IS years of age. His father was Count
G;rolamo Solazzi, of one Of the Oldest noble
families of the Papal States. At an early age,
that is when only ten years old, Giovanni was
sent to college at volterra where he studied
for five years. In 1903, when 16 years of age,
he proceeded to Rome to pursue his ecclesias-
teal studies. During the occupation of Rome
by Napoleon he returned to his birthplace,
Sinigaglia, where he remained until 1914. He
then returned to the Holy City again. where,
lust fifty years ago, he was consecrated to the
Church, and received his holy orders. In

We hear it said, as coming from Col. Jack
Wharton, that President Hayes intends to
divide the Federal patronage in Louisiana
among the three clements of which the Re-
publican party is composed in this State, viz,
the native white Republicans, the negroes,
and the carpet-baggers,
We have reason to believe that Col Whar-
ton is mistaken in one particular at least, and
that is that the President will appoint carpet
haggers to Office in our State.
Not later than last week Mr. Duprc, OF the
DEMOCRAT, then in Washington, had an inter-
view with the President at the White House,
and the latter then said in answer to some
thing said on the subjects of the evils of car
pct-baggery, my purpose, sir, is to com
pletely rid the politics Of your State of the
aiie, clement" On another occasion George A.
Sheridan, the well known carpet-bagger and
stump speaker, and who in the last campaign
labchod assiduously in the West in the interest
Of Mr. Hayes and with whom he Is on the
best personal terms called on the President
with the view of securing his share of patron
ayc. Sheridan, who knew of the Presidents
unwillingness TO appoint carpet-baggers te
mower in Louisiana, shrcwdly opened his
netition for Office with preamble substan.
TALLY of this tenor:
Mr.. President, wish to say to you that
neither want nor expect an appointment to
Office within the State of Louisiana.
To which. as Gen. Sheridan told US himself
the President replied:
lam much gratified TO hear YOU say that
Gen. Sheridan, for you certainly relieve me Q
o,,ch embarrassment.
sheridan says his prolonged absence iron
Louisiana is what would have caused tn
Presidents embarrassment in appointing hin
to office. OF course, it was too much to ex
meet Of the model carpct-bagger that N
mid ever frankly admit that his short so
m in Louisiana, not his prolonged absenc
,efrom was the real difficulty.

Sherwood's Point, on the west side
of Green Lake, Wisconsin, is widely
known. It has probably been the scene
of more picnics and celebrations than
any similar area in that State. During
the season Of open air pleasures there
is a constant succession Of carriages
from Berlin, Ripon, Fond du Lac and
adjoining towns, and it Is no unusual
thing to find dozen different coteries
distributed about the grounds. Late
in 1875 Mr.. Sherwood opened large
and we'll appointed hotel as a nucleus
Of the delightful resort, known as
Sherwood Forest" The view from
the verandas comprises complete cir
cult of the lake and broken shores,
while thu immediate surroundings are
especially pleasant. The drives are
tastefully laid out, care being taken in
uprooting and trimming, not to detract
| from the rustic charm Of the primitive
woods. The generous patronage re-
ceiyed by the Sherwood Forest" Gn

debutante, is an assurance of it's future.

climate, is developing into a resort no
whit less recherche than that other
popular inland watering place-Sara-
toga. In recognition Of the beauties,
some Of its visitors have expressed
themselves in very tangible, substan-
tial manner, by erecting pretty villas
and nice summer cottages. Noticeable
among those erected are Gen. M. Bray
mans, formerly Of Springfield, ILL.,, Mr..
Baker, of Fond du Lac, and Mr.. Lucas,
Of st. Louis; but the largest and most
elegant is the country seat Of Gen.
John Mcdonald, Of st. Louis.

Messrs Manning, Bowman Co., West Meriden
Connecticut:
Gentternen-At your request I have made q
careful chemical examination of the enameled
goods made by the St Louis Stamping Company
and used by your house in all your productS re-
quiring the use of enamels. In the 81. LOUIS
enamels marked GRANITE Iron WAKE L
find not a trace of any poisonous or deleterl-
Gus substance whatever. Vinegar, lemonaoe,
or other vegetable acids, salt and greasy sub
stances may be kept or cooked in vessels pro-
tected by the Granite Enamel without the
least risk of injury to health.
This statement cannot be maze respecting
some other enamels which are in common use
and which l find so highly charged, especially
with lead, as to impart dangerous contamina-
ton even to water kept in vessels thus coated,
while vinegar and other vegetable acids act i'm
mediately upon such enamels and become
highly poisonous. There is no reason why such
dangerous enamels should be made and sold,
and the public viii demand that only suoa safe
enamels as the Granite" so-called, shall be
offered in the market.

TRAIN ROBBERS KILLED.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept, ga Buffalo
Station (Kan.) special gives the particu-
lars of the capture and killing of two
Union Pacific Express robbers yesterday
and the recovery of $4,000 in gold.
About nine o'clock two men riding jaded
horses and leading a heavily-loaded
pony came into the station and stopped
for refreshments. The station agents
suspicion was aroused by noticing the
name of Joel Collins on an envelope in
the pocket of one of the men, which was
exposed in drawing his handkerchief. It
happened that Sheriff Beardsley, of Ellis
county, and squad of soldiers on the
watch for the robbers were enCamped in
ravine near by, and as soon as the men
left, the agent notified the Sheriff, who
mounted his men and soon overlook the
robbers.
They told him he was mistaken in the
men; that they were Texas cattle men
returning home. The Sheriff asked
them to return to the station, which they
cheerfully agreed to do. They had gone
only short distance when Collins sud-
denly turned and said to his Compan-
ions:
"If Wa have to die, let us do it game.
ly"
Both attempted to draw reYolvers, but
the Sheriff's posse was too quick for
them and fred, killing both men in
stantly.
The gold was sewed up in the legs of
pair of pantaloons, and consists of 90
dollar pieces of the mint of 1877. The
bodies were taken to Ellis, where an in.
quest will be held. There were no pa
pers on their bodies except a roll of po-
etry dedicated to Collins by a young
lady, and which he seemed to prize
highly. The name of the other man is
not given. Collins is said to be from
Dallas, Texas, and to be of highly re-
spectacle family. Sheriff Beardsley and
citizens are in hot pursuit ofthe remain
der of the gang.

OUTRAGE AND MURDER.

A week ago Sunday morning the wife
of Frank DeLong, of Brookfield town
ship, Trumbull county, was passing
through little grove short distance
from her home, when attacked by an un-
known man, who endeavored to outrage
her person. She made desperate re-
sstance, and failing in his purpose, the
villain deliberately drew a revolver from
his pocket and shot his PROSTATE victim
through the head. He then accomplish
ed his fiendish purpose. She was found
some time after by her husband, in an
unconscious state, with the brain oozing
from the bullet hole, but recovered con-
sciousness sufficient to describe her MUIR
derer. The man had been seen by sew
eral parties, and so accurate description
is had of him that it is hardly possible
for him to escane.
Later accounts lead to the suspicion
that the villain was DeLong himself. It
seems the woman is still living, lying at
neighbours house. to which DeLong
carried her, and that the villain has been
threatening to kill her if she told. 1t
also seems she had, day or two before,
swore that he had threatened her life,
and that she was afraid of her life, and
under that charge the scamp has been
lodged in Jail, failing to find bail in 81
600. The woman is fearfully injured,
but may survive.
