MEAN AND STINGY.

Our representative at the Court ot
Dom Pedro is certainly an economical
not to say a contemptibly mean and
stingy one. The way he lives in Rio
Janeiro is subject of constant disgust
and humiliation to all other American
residents in the city. With salary OF
$4,000 per year he eats, sleeps, and
transacts his official business in a nasty
little bedroom in a low part of the city
In this hole he has table, bureau, a
washstand, few chairs, and bed. His
average expences will not exceed 81, SC

adopting this mode Of travel was because
the fare on the African Line of cars was
five cents. whereas the other lines de-

Mr.. Hilliard has no society, either Amer.

would be regarded as a blessing by all
people who have any regard for the dig

difficult to imagine man more utterly

this one, and it is to be hoped he will not
be permitted to remain any longer than
is necessary to get notice to quit in his
hands and to fill his place with somebody
who will not disgrace it.-C2sV. Hsralq

EARN $500.

Sherman replied the best way to get
$500 is to earn it " This is poor con-

NO DEMAND FOR GRANT.

There has so far been no popular dem.
onstration in favor of General Grant as
a candidate. 1t is not the people who
are talking now. 1t is, in good part,
only the influence which raised the cry
of CesaIism few years ago, and which
always affects to interpret the will of the
people. But singular thing has hap
pened. Managing men are discussing
the movement, and some who two
years ago were rather hostile than other
wise, are giving it credit for more force
than the truth warrants. General Grant
could scarcely make a greater mistake
than to even take the matter into consid-
Grafton. He can never retire with great>
er prestige than he enjoys to-day.
Should he ever be wanted at the helm,
the people will place him there without
so much as asking his consent, and un-
til that happens we prefer to regard his
candidacy as beyond the proOable.-

THE committee Of Congress, Of which
Mr.. Hewitt is chairman, to investigate
the Labor question, is at work in New
York CITY, examining representative la
boring men, and labor, as well as social
istic advocates. On Saturday last, for
instance, were various characters. The
first was w. A. A. A. A. Carsey, of the
Nationals, bricklayer and editor. He
thought there had been too much legis'
lation for classes, naming banking inter-
est the landgrabbing interest, the rails
road and mining interests, causing a
concentration of wealth in the hands of
few. People, he said, were not ems
ployed more than half the time, and
something must be done proposed Cow
ernment give land, furnish transportaN
ton and money to buy farm implements,
to be repaid as soon as possible, and to
be secured by mortgage on the land. He
wanted Government to prosecute great
works of internal improvement, railways
for instance. He favored industrial ed
ucation-our present system was wrong,
making our children clerks, lawyers or
ministers. He was reminded there was
a surplus of laboring men, but not as
large surplus he said. He was in fa-
vor of initiation and protective tariff.
c. Osborn Ward, theoretical person
of Brooklyn, avowed himself commu.
mist, represented the socialistic labor
party-would divide everything.
Mr.. MADDOX, of Maine, appeared for
the congress Of humanity. He wanted
government to issue large quantities Of
money for needful and remunerative
enterprises.
Mrs. S. Myra Hall said she represented
all nations and all peoples; she also rep.
resented 10000, 900 of serfs belonging to
this country who had never yet been ad.
mitted to the elective franchise. She
was one of those who were permitted to
read the future, and she could tell the
committee that this country could never
settle the important questions of capital
and labor until it gave the franchise to
woman.
Mr.. J. J. O'Donnell said he represents
ed himself. He did not think the indus
trial classes had been fairly represented
before the committee. He did not be.
lieve in initiation of the currency nor in
a protective tariff, and he wanted rad
icalchange in the patent laws.
Mr.. F. Bruner, a tailor, was called.
After stating the evils under which his
rade and other trades suffered, he was
asked how he proposed to remedy them.
"By the referendum, said he, 81 would
abolish Congress, abolish the Executive,
and the Judiciary, and then you gentle.
men should go home, and let the people
work out their own salvation" Great
laughter.)
Patrick Logan next addressed the
committee at great length. His panacea
for the evils under which the country
was suffering was honest legislation. He
had been candidate for the Assembly
from the fifteenth district, but was not
elected-rather.
Mr.. R. w. Hume's remedy for the
financial trouble was to abolish all in>
terest for money, and also repeal the
usury laws. He favored a greenback
currency, but did not think it could be
issued constitutionally. He honored
Mr.. Chase, he said, who disregarded
the Constitution to save the Union. He
would, however, be glad to see the Con-
stitution amended in this respect.

THE CRY FOR GRANT.

The cry for Grant, come from what
quarter or in what form it may, is Inns
perialism and nothing else. There is
not reason or argument put forth by
the claquers of Grant that does not pro-
ceed from the Imperial idea and point
to lite tenure of office. Admit, as they
claim. that Grant is necessity that
he alone can preserve law and order, and
play the Government into the hands OF
the money power as he did before, will

SHOT THROUGH THE BRAIN.

Little Rock, Ark, July 3I.-About $3.50
this morning Mr. J, B. Mclaughlin, a
well-known and estimable attorney, was
shot down in cold blood by one E. H.
Orr. Mclaughlin was just starting up
the steps in the Benjamin Block leading
to his office, when he was met BY Orr,
who, after some words, fired three Shots
the first ball passing through his lett leg
below his knee, the second, as is suppo,'
sed, entering the breast above the lett
nipple, and the third inAicting a severe
wound in the calf of the right leg, Alter
the shooting Orr walked deliberately up
to the corner of Center street with his
weapon in his hand, when he started on
a run, By this time a number OF perN
sons had collected, some ofwhom shout
ed, Stop that man !" AT the corner OF
Second street he was headed of by a
gentleman who was on horseback, and
at one time it appeared that he was about
to offer resistance, but Deputy Sheriff
Adams and Friend Smith coming up he
surrendered quietly, and was taken to
Squire Morrison's Office and by him
committed TO Jail. Mr.. Mclaughlin has
only been a resident of this city a few
months, and was formerly resident OF
Cleveland, Ohio! He has wife and two
sons. After the shooting Mr.. McLaughN
lin was conveyed to room belonging to
Mr.. Ed. Wheeler, United States Reeves
nue. Collector, where an examination
was made by DR.. Jennings, who was at
terward assisted by DR.. DibrelI. They
give it as their opinion that the wound
in the breast is of a very dangerous
character, though not necessarily fatal.
Orr is a man of some twentyNfour or
twenty-five years ofage, and bears traces
of dissipated life in his face. He has
been before the Courts of this city, and
is said to belong to highly respectable
family in St. Louis. While being cons
veyed to the Jail he spoke coolly of the
shooting and acknowledged the fact that
he had procured a pistol wherewith to
commit the crime, and had even gone
so far as to procure a horse upon which
to make his escape. Finding it impossi-
BILE to ride, however, he determined to
take the chance afoot.

A Democratic exchange in speaking
of what the last Ohio Legislature did for
the working men, remarks:
Laws have been passed preventing
the attachment of wages to the sum of
$I5o; preventing the sale of claims
against working men to parties in other
States, where the parties reside in Ohio,
and earned their wages here also COM
pelling assignees of bankruptcy to pay
the wages of labor as prior lien upon
the estate also preventing the payment
of wages by mere checks upon some
store, purchasing such checks at a dis
count-and so on.-Where law could
aid the laboring man, it was passed and
yet complaint is made that nothing has
been done for them All has been done
that could be done, the Legislature going
to the very verge of sound principles of
legislation in their favor.

NEW PHILADELPHIA, August 1.-The
body of man in a nude condition, was
found in the Tuscarawas river, about five
miles south of here, yesterday morning.
The body was in so advanced state of
decomposition when found as to be un-
recognizable, but it is supposed to be that
of pauper who left the County Infrm-
airy some days ago and has not yet re-
turned. The person was about five feet
eight inches in height, had black hair,
and was about forty-fve years of age.
An inquest was held, and verdict re.
turned of death from drowning while
bathing" The body was buried on the
bank Of the river where it was taken out.
Inquiries are being made by the Coroner
as to who the man was, and if successful
notice will be given in due time.

Orphans Home was infamous: 1t was a
Democratic stab into the vitals Of the in.

nounce it as we'll as Republicans. But
as to the change in the management of
the Home-why should the Republican
party complain of the Democratic party
for doing that which the Republican par
ty did three years ago on similar occa-
sion Did not Major Shaw succeed to

BARRY, the painter, was with Nolle.

very intimate. Barry took the liberty
one night, when they were about to leave
the English coffee house, to exchange
hats with him. Barry's was edged with
lace, and Nolekens's was a very shabby
plain one. Upon his returning the hat
the next morning, he was asked by Mol

district have covered themselves with
glory in the nomination of that brave
soldier, General Aquila Wiley, for Con-

Of the war, and will be just the man to

in the service. The Democracy, while
not blowing about their love for the sol.

on the stump this year, and several Of

mother had prepared her for bed, and

had no sooner concluded it than she re-

looked up and remarked; "Well, mama,

morrow night may not"
