AN lsJus TRIcK.-Tbc Boston Post
is credited With saying this: aust as
Hayes was pairing his last corn the
other night, preparatory to ,umbling
into bed, a messenger appeared with a
telegram. Hayes read it hurr,edly. II
was from Chickasaw Indian, an.
nouncing that be had been elected
chief Of the tribe, but counted out by
fraud, and called on Hayes to act as
referee in settling the matter. 1t spoil.
cd Hayes sleep for that night" It
will be observed by this that the un.
tutored Indian even understands Hayes
situation IL the educated Radical don't.
"Poor 10" knows who has 10, the
goods.

TnE 0Dps DID IT Tho Harrisburg
Patriot romarks: The odds makes all
che adherence. When senator wbyte,
of Maryland, charged Mr.. Blaine's
party with having ntimidated Catho'
lies in Baltimore and elsewhere, during
Know Nothing times, the Maine dem
agoguc struck an attitude and declared
in the most dramatic style, that he
could not be blamed in that regard, as
be was, during the prevalence of
Know Nothinglsm. "a small boy in u
small academy" Now it happens that
Mr. Blaine was just twenty-five years
Of age when Know Nothingism arose,
he having been born in 1890 He is
just six years older than Hon. Andrew
II. Dill, who was large boy at college
at the time that his political opponents
allegc that he made Know Nothing
speeches. But when the plea of youth
was put in for Mr. Dill, the Repubi-
can journals treated it with utter
derision. Now when Mr.. Blaine is
brought to book on a similar charge
and be makes similar defense, these
same Republican journals are as quiet
as so many frightened rats. How about
the twenty-five year old "small boy ia
small academy" Let us hear one,
more from the sarcastic fellows VIII,
were wont to sneer at the pleading o
the "baby act" for Mr.. Dill, as they
expressed it.

A COFFIN TORPEDO consequence
of the number of graveyard desecra-
tions, the genius of the inventor has
been melted TO devise means for their
defeat. Among the most recent pat
ents is one for a coffin torpedo, which
consists of canister containing pow.
der, balls, and firing trigger, 30 arrang.
ed that on placing the torpedo within
the coffin, and finally closing the lid,
should any attempt be made TO open
the coffin, the torpedo will be instantly
exploded, noise like thunder ensue,
and deadly balls will fly in all direc.
tions. Had the remains of the late
millionaire. Mr.. Stewart, been protec.
ted by means Of this invention, the
neighborhood in that part of our city
where bis body rested would have been
alarmed, while the robbers themselves
would doubtless have suffered sudden
death as the penalty Of their rash and
sacrilegious attelnpt.-ScientJfc Amer

LET 1T BE DEBArED.-A crusade is
now being waged between the War
and the Interior Departments, as to
which should manage the Indians. In
bis published reports General Sheridan
charges the Indian Bureau with being
the cause Of our troubles with the In.
dians. Secretary Scburz complains of
this imputation, aud the Secretary of
War asks Sheridan to give facts and
figures. The Student of the current
events OF the day mast bo very stupid
IL Lc has not seen enough of Grants
Quaker management OF the Indians
during the past ten years. A change
is bigly necessary for the benefit of tho
Indians and the Federal Treasury.
Things cannot be made any worse, no
difference who takes charge.

Our senior Senator distinguished himself on
the 10th inst. He moved that the Blaine resolu-
ton to investigate the recent elections be laid on
the table, n statesmanlike proposition that re
ceived just six votes 10 tho Affirmative and SIXTY
In the negative. Mr.. Wallace had better adopt
the "sileut coatempt" policy for the remainder
of the session. Ens Herald
That shows exactly how little you
know about it. When Senator Blaine
called up his Southern election investi.
eating resolution, and proceeded to
harangue that body, Senator Wallace,
in due parliamentary torn, moved to
table Blaine and his resolution, and in
that way get rid of him and proceed
with the legitimate business. But six
other Senators vote with him. Yet,
after Blaine carried his point, twenty
eight other Democrats voted with Mr..
Wallace and his five supporters, retus.
ing special committee Had they
voted to table Blaine's resolution, all
that followed would have been abbre-
waited, and first-class demagogue
shelved instead of being allowed to
play Mazeppa. 1t is far more pleas
ant in parliamentary body to vote
right at the right time than for n men,
ber TO reverse himself before be gets
out of his tracks 1t the twenty-five
who reversed themselves can afford to
be debated, the other six need not
growl, and the fellow out on the lake
shore must be an ass, or Blaineite,
and about as poor judge of states
manship as swine is of pearls.

A BAD OFFICER. 1.-TWO years ago
Sheriff Williams of Armstrong county
took the oath of Office, shat he had
not paid or contributed, nor promised
to pay or contribute, either directly, or
indirectly, any money or other valua-
bio thing, to procure his nomination
or election" The defeated candidate
charged that he did violate the law
and sworc falsely IN taking the oath oi
Office. A few days ago Mr., Williams
was convicted, which will end his off
cial life and send him to the pehitenti
ary. The other rough point in th,
case is, the Democratic candidate whc
was legally elected, is defrauded out o
the two years of his term.

PooR BEs's FRIEHps.-A Washing
ton correspondent says; B. F. Butler
is now beginning to realize some Of the
results of belonging to no party at all.
Each member of Congress- connected
with the party in power has the dis,
pcnsing of certain department patron
-age and Butler has never allowed much
grass to grow under his feet in this
line OF business. Since his withdrawal
from the Republican tanks his ap
pointces, among whom are a number
of ladies, have felt quite shaky, fearing
their tenure would be brief. Tuesday
the ax fell on all Of Buffers friends in
the treasury and postofiice, about 10
all told, their dismissals taking effect
from January LIST.

Congress has passed an Act appro.
priating the metal of twenty con.
demned cannon toward the erection Of
a bronze statue to Gen. Custer, on the
grounds of the West Point Academy
If the artists could thrash in about
twenty Indian agents and post.tradcrs
the country would get rid Of some
human offall, any how. They were
the fellows who caused the death oil
Gen. George A. Custer and his brave
companions.

A QUEsrIoS.-The Hollidaysburg
Register, a Republican organ, makes
the announcement that "the Camerons
do not own the Republican party of
Pennsylvania" Now the query is
To whom did the Csmerons sell tho
party, and how much did they get for
itS We incline to the opinion that the
Register is mistaken, when it assumes
that the Camerons have ceased to be
the owners Of the Republican party of
Pennsylvania. - Huntingdon Monitor,

MoRE MEN.-The army is becoming
filled up with Colonels, Majors, Cap
taius, and Lieutenants, who have no
soldiers TO command, hence they fear
they will be mustered out, or there
will have TO DO nm increase Of enlisted
men 80 that they can keep their fat
places. In his annual report, General
Sherman harps upon his favorite
theme, the necessity of an increase Of
the army in the anticipation of Indian
difficulties. Its too thin; the Indians
are not troubleing him at the present
