"0ld Ftp"

| once knew a man who found a
sum of money, and the discovery be-
reft him of reason. The remainder
of his days were spent in searching
cutters, rubbish heaps and roadsides
for lost coins. The boys gave him
the name of "OId Ftp" Glover OF
Missouri, reminds me of "Old Ftp"
He and his experts have been search
ing the records of the treasury, over
hauling the rubbish heaps, tearing
open boxes stored in cellars and at
tics, ripping up the cast-off garments
of watchmen and laborers, turning
old boots upside down and shaking
them, loosening the carpets around
the edges in John Sherman's room,
and punching with sticks into CRATES,
ventjlat0rs and ash piles in a persis-
tent hunt for discrepancies" Glover
succeeded in finding some things that
were irregular" but in every in
stance a Democrat was connected
with the irregular proceeding. His
fellow Democrats in the House have
been saying for some time that
Glover was crazy, and Glover finally
went home, confessing that he went
fishing for Republicans, and caught
nothing but Democrats.

d. B. Penn, once prominent in tn

ID. B. Penn, once prominent in the
Democratic politics of Louisiana, and
who has figured somewhere in the
long line Of Governors or Lieutenant
Governors for that State since the
war, is the latest oracle of the indie.
pendent party in the South, and the
New York Times veuches for his be-
ing shrewd observer. Mr.. Penn is
confident that the party is growing,
that it will develop surprising
strength in Louisiana this fall, and
will elect several members of Con.
gress. We hope that his optimism
in this respect is justified, but we can.
not help rejecting that the confident
Independents are generally men who
have lost their places in one or the
other Of the regular parties. How.
ever, Mr.. Penn ought to know as
much about Louisiana and its people
as any man in or out of the State
and it is worth while spreading his
opinions abroad.

The Famine in China.

The famine in China seems now to
be at its worst. The impoverished
country has an area of about 1905
square miles. They are eating the
dead, and when no dead are found
they kill the living for food. This is
what the Governor of Honan says
of it.:
'"The drought with which the
province has been visited for several
wears in succession has resulted in a
famine of unheard of intensity and
extent. AS autumn advanced into
winter the number of those needing
help increased daily, until at last
they could be counted by millions.
The lower classes were the first to be
affected and they soon disappeared
or dispersed elsewhere in search Of
food. Now the famine has attacked
the well to.do and wealthy, who find
themselves reduced to greater misery
as each day goes by, and they in
their turn are dying off or following
those who have emigrated else where
In the earlier period of the distress
the living fed upon the bodies of the
dead next, the strong devoured the
weak and now the restitution has
reached such a climax that men de-
your their own flesh and blood"
This dreadful picture is fully horne
out by the letters received in Shan
ghai from the foreign misters in
Shansi,
In the prefecture in which the
capital of Shansi is located the popu-
lation has diminished from over
900, 900 to 100000, and the Chinese
newspapers give the number who
have died from starvation or met the
fate just recorded, at over 100000.

1t is now figured out that the
Kearney man will be in minority
of fifty in the California constitution
al convention, and therefore that the
COMMUNISTS will not be able to carry
out any of the dreaded revolutionary
changes in the laws. Kearney is re-
ported as making a threatening
speech at meeting in San Francisco
last week, in which he said: 1.-THE
thieves are trying to make the peo-
pie believe, through the columns of
corrupt newspapers, that the nom
partisans have a majority in thestate
and they will try the Louisiana re-
turning board game on us but we
will behead the first thief that lamp
ers with the ballot box, and we will
see whether the military power, in
Guiding the fraud Of a President, dares
interfere with our rights" Those
who know Kearney will say, how
ever, that he is not a practical war
rier, and that his threats will end in
wind,

thing that seems to be certain about
the Indian War is that the feeling of
discontent is spreading and that if
the hostiles should succeed in gain
ing decisive victory the Indians of
the entire North West would soon
be in arms against the Governments
authority. Senator Windon has
punctived the pretensions of our Re-
form House. According to him it's
appropriations exceeded those of its
immediate predecessor by almost
$4,000, 900, and that when the def
ciencies are all paid the two last
Houses will be seen to have been
more extravagant than any House
prior to the advent of "Reform."

A More Vigorous Policy in Mexican
Affairs Decided Upon.


The government has under serious
consideration and discussion the sub
ject of Mexican and Indian depreda-
tons on the Rio Grande committed
by thieves and robbers from the state
of Mexico. The last raid Of this char
acter into Texas resulted in serious
loss of life to American citizens. A
large amount of property was also
either carried off or destroyed. I'M
mediately upon the receipt of Gen.
Ord's official report of this raid it
was decided at Cabinet meeting to
adopt more vigorous policy on the
border. Gen. Ord was sent for t9
give his views on the subject. He
has been here for nearly a week in
close consultation with the President
Secretaries Evarts and McCrary, and
Gen. Sherman. Final action has not
yet been determined on. 1t can be
stated auth0ritively however that
this government will use all its power
to put an end to depredations of this
class which have been of frequent
occurrence for the last thirteen years.
When Gen. Ord returns to his COM
mand he will carry with him full in
structions on this subject. They will
be of very decided character, The
attention of the Mexican government
will be, as it has frequently been in
times past, called to the condition of
affairs, and an earnest request for It's
co-oDeration made. If it fails in its
duty, then the United States gov
eminent will take upon itself the
entire responsibilities of applying a
radical cure to the evil. The whole
subject will be treated in the future
in a Mariner very different from the
way in which it has been handled in
the past. This will be done even at
the risk of hurting somebody. Full
consideration will be given to the
fact that the class of Mexican and In
dians who carry on the business OF
raiding the American soil have al
ways acted independently of the
Mexican government. For many
years they have successfully defed
the Mexican authority, and are as
troublesome to that country as our
Indians are to this. In every phase
of the whole matter, however, the
first prominence will always be given
to the fact that to have peace on the
Rio Grande border demands tha
this government shall adopt a new
and vigorous policy in protecting The
lives and property of its citizens from
a foreign invader.

Mr.. f. l.. Morling, who was pres
ent and took. part in the Sunday
School Convention here, published a
full account of the proceedings last
week, in his excellent paper, the
Woodberry NeaOS, closing with this
paragraph:
During the time of the convention
we had the pleasure of becoming ac-
quainted with quite a number of the
good people of this section and en-
joying their christian hospitality,
which was fully up to the reputation
that our State bears for genuine whole
souled hospitality. Among the choice
spirits that we met and to whom we
are under special obligation for add
ing so much to the pleasure of our
stay among them are Mr.. j. Nj.
Davis, his noble, good lady and sons;
j. w. Veitch, Esq, and his excellent
lady; Bro. b. Ison, his good wife,
dear little daughter and neice Rev.
o. G. Miller and the friends sojourn-
ing with him Bro. Totten and fam
lily; and for warm fraternal greeting
and other kind attentions we are
especially indebted to Bro. Tasker of
the Herald, Bro. Hayden of the Re
publican, and Bro. Smith of the DEM
ocrdt, three excellent papers publish
ed at Oakland. And to other citizens
whose names we nannot now remem-
Der we desire to express our many
obligations and assure them all that
our visit to them was one of the most
pleasant that we have ever enjoyed
and that the impressions and friend
ships formed will be as lasting as life
and memory.

GREELEY's MONUMENT. Take the
city of Greeley for all in all-with
her pleasant homes, her churches and
her schools, her fine business blocks.
and the absence of liquor saloons and
their inevitable crowds of loafers and
gamblers, and, above all, her intelli-
gent and hard working people-and
she is gem of the first water, liy-
ing lesson of prosperity and the re-
suit of unity. Ifher great godparent
could once more revisit his place the
results of his planning, no doubt he
would exclaim, Lord, now lettest
thou Thy servant depart in peace. -

CLAIM FOR S5,0O0,0OO.

CINCINNATI, July IA curious
case came before the Relief Union of
Cincinnati yesterday, involving the
claim of colored people to $4,000, 900
worth of land, money, etc., in Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and other States.
The story is that Jacob Gist, "a
wealthy Englishman, lived for years
in Virginia, owning slaves, but
finally freed them, and on his death
willed them his property, consisting
of lands in Virginia, Kentucky and
other States, and certain monies. 1t
is claimed that the executors swim
died them out of their property, and
their heirs, numbering 500, and liv-
mostly in this State, wish the claim
pushed. The matter was brought
before the Relief Union, composed of
wealthy charitable people here, and
yesterday the Union decided to take
up and prosecute the case.

half dollar, tho black one for seven
ty-five cents, and the spotted one is
worth a dollar"
II think my boy would like the

you twenty-five cents and save you
the trouble OF drowning the spotted
