Caught at Last.

Nine. Rachel has again given the
town scandal to talk about. Mrs.
Pearse, daughter of Mario, the singer,
and wife of Mr.. Godfrey Pearse, of 40
Ebury street, a lady of twenty-three,
fancied some "wash' would do her
complexion good, and bought some of
Nine. Rachel, whose real name is Lev
erson. She received wash, which
brought out rash over her face, and
was then told that she was in danger
of being disligured for life. Under this
fear she agreed to be " enameled," be-
ing told of several great ladies who had
gone through the process; but diff
Guilty occurred about the money Nine.
Rachel wanted 1000 guineas, which
was pronounced impossible, and then
she dropped to 200 guineas. Even
this was impossible, and Nine. Rachel,
after suggesting, Mrs. Pearse says, that
she should use funds collected for her
father-a suggestion Indignantly re-
jected-consented to accept ESQ, for
which amount Mrs. Pearse's Jewels
were deposited with her. Mrs. Pearse.
finding she could raise the money, sent
for the jewels, which, however, had
been pawned, and she then told her
husband the story. Mr.. Pearse, evil
IDENTITY man of decision and courage,
demanded the jewels, but was met with
threats, and he at once prosecuted.
There was no serious deft nse at all, ex-
cept on the point whether Nine. Ra-
chefs tricks amounted to legal crimes;
the jury found verdict against her,
and Baron Huddleston, in severe
speech, sentenced her to five years
penal servitude. The most extraordi-
nary feature in all these cases is that
the women, presumably of education,
when alarmed about their compilations,
seemed ready to believe anybody ex-
cept first-class doctor, and this appar-
emily because the quacks charge them
so heavily.-L0ndon Spectator.

The Future Of the Photograph.

OF all the inventions of the present
century, not one has created such an in
terest or attracted such widespread at
tention as the monograph. Magazines
have teemed with articles upon the in
ventor and his invention, and the news
paper press has specialized upon its
possibilities clear to the verge of the
widest imaginings. The most inter-
esting article, however, that has yet APP
peared is in the current number of the
North american ReUie1O, and it derives
its interest largely from the fact that it
is written by Mr.. Edison, the inventor
himself, and is therefore an official
statement of what he has accomplished,
and of future probabilities as they APP
pear to him from the basis of his exper-
iments. The article is such as might
be expected from the pen of such a
man-brief, concise, and clear-with-
out unnecessary flourish, and not trans
crossing limits of probability, and con-
fined to statement, first, of actual re-
suits; and, second, of probable future
realizations.
The actual results thathe has accom-
plished are stated by Mr.. Edison in
substantially the following form: He
has discovered that vibrating disk is
capable of receiving complex motion
that will represent the peculiar proper

Outdoor Sports.

The season has now arrived when
outdoor sports are apropos. The cat
erpillar has left his den, the mosquito
has turned over in bed and uttered a
warning shrek, and big green worms
are skylarkIng around on shade trees
and betting on their chances of drop

One of the leading lawn sports is
called "Push and Cut" 1t is PLAYED
with a machine called IA lawn-mower.
tt ese machines are neatly put up,
beautifully painted, and will make a
racket in any climate. The player seizes
them by convenient handle and pushes
them toward the grass on trot. The
game is to find an old hoop-skirt, paint
key, oyster-can or catsup-bottle in the
grass. After two or three lessons the
player will be amazed at his good luck
in finding these things and making tai
ly-marks. Some players take flying
leap over the machine when it strikes
an old beef-bone in the grass, but the
rules of the game are liberal in this re-
spect. The player can, if he prefers,

" CuriOsities OF English"

The following are a few amusing ex-
amples of the " curiosities of English, -
as respects the change of sound pro-
duced by different consonants:
B makes the road broad, turns the
ear to the bear and Tom into a tomb.
G makes limb climb, hanged changed,
a lever clever, and transports lover to

d turns a bear to beard, a crow to
crowd, and makes anger danger.
f turns lower regions to flower re-

G changes son to song and makes
one gone.
H changes eight into height.
X makes now know and eyed keyed.
l. transforms pear into pearl
N turns line into linen, crow to

2 metamorphoses lumber into plumb

S turns even to seven, makes have
shave, and word sword, pear a spear,
and makes slaughter of laughter.
L makes bough bought, turns here

0ppOrtune Return Of Witness.

A very singular termination to a
suit was recorded in a dispatch from
San Jose yesterday. A young man
named Shaw decided some real estate to
one Crandall, his stepfather, but, hav-
ing subsequently become insane, it was
alleged that Crandall had persuaded
the young man to make the transfer of
the property while he was of unsound
mind, and somebody brought an action
to set aside the deed. The case was APP
parently going against the defendant,
when, to the surprise and dismay of the
complainant and his counsel, Shaw
himself was introduced as a witness for
the defense. Being examined, his san
ity was completely established, and, as
he declared that he had made the deed
with a full knowledge of his acts, and
that he was prepared to do it again if
necessary, the counsel for the COM
plainant made virtue of necessity,
and moved to dismiss the suit. Ii APP
pears that Shaw had escaped from the
Stockton Asylum, and had recovered
his reason, but, being afraid that his
sanity would still be doubted, he had
hidden himself and remained away,
hoping in time to be able to re-estab-
fish his position. In travelling over the
State he approached San Jose, and
there learned for the first time that his
stepfather was being sued on account
of the property he had decided to him.
He at once decided to come forward
and vindicate the accused, and thus
this dramatic and satisfactory denOue-
ment occurred. Sacramento Union.

Another interesting lawn game is
played as follows: At the supper table
the wife remarks:
flames, | want ten dollars to fix up
my summer silk. Don'tgo away with
out leaving it"
James makes no reply, but manages
to slip out of the house unseen. He is
stealing softly across the lawn to Jump
over the fence at the corner, when his
wife comes rushing out and exclaims:
"James! James! See herer'
He begins to squlnt into cherry tree
and talks about moths.

hands out the *" and if he can con-
vince her that he had as soon give hel
twenty dollars as ten dollars he wins
the game.
Another outdoor game is played be-
tween ten o'clock in the evening and
midnight, in order to avoid the heat Of
the sun. 1t is played together by mar
ried people. Nine o'clock having ar.
rived, and the husband not having
reached home, the indignant wife nails
down the windows, locks all the doors,
and goes to bed feeling as if she could
smash her partner in minute and a
half. Along about eleven o'clock
Charles Henry begins to play his part
in the game. He is suddenly seen un-
der one of the kitchen windows. He
seeks to raise it. He tries another and
another, but the sash won't lift. Then
he softly tries all the doors, but they
are locked. The rules of the game al
low him to make some remarks at this
juncture, and it generally begins to
rain about this moment. As he gets
under the shelter of the garden rake he

Another, and the last outdoor game
to be described here, is called: "Wait.

for her husband to spade up her flow

his whole time. She goes out to wielC
the spade herself. The game is very

GEN. AQUILA WILEY, who was the long
est pole that knocked the Congressional
persimmon in the sixteenth district, is a
one legged soldier, who is quite popular
in his own section. He was candidate
for Secretary of State in 1872, and was
beaten by Gen. Wykof. He was dark
horse in the Congressional convention,
and was not mentioned for the position
until after it was developed that no nom
ination could be arrived at with the reg
ular candidates. The nomination is a
sad blow to the hopes of our editorial
friend, McGregor, of Stark, who would
probably have succeeded had not War.
wick, wealthy mine owner, presented
himself as a candidate from Stark coun
ty, also. The Republicans cannot expect
walk over in the sixteenth district, as
Gen. Wiley is probably as strong a man
as could have been selected by the De.
mocracy-CoLlmbu8 Dispatch.
Our friends of the Dispatch were not
aware, probably, when the above was
written, that their editorial friend, Nc
Greger," had hand in nominating Gen
Wiley, having requested his 80 delegates
to transfer their votes to Wiley, which
they promptly did, and thus made the
nomination on the 142d ballot, There
is no doubt, as the Dispatch says, the
General is "as strong man as coulG
have been selected"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1878-07-25
We give our readers the following brief
sketch of the military career of

GEN. AQUILA WILEY, OUR NOMINEE.
He entered the service for three
months, in April, 1861, as captain of
company of the 10Th Ohio regiment. In
September he entered the 41st Ohio us
captain, and served until the battle of
Shiloh. He arrived at the scene of that
contest with Buell's army on Sunday ev-
ening. On the last day of the action he
received a wound in his leg, from which
he did not recover 80 as to join his regi-
ment until August, 1862. During the
period intervening he received a COM
mission as a Major, and at Stone River
commanded his regiment as Lieut.C Colo
mel. He was at Chickamauga, participa.
ted in the movement against Browns
Ferry, near Chattanooga, and at Mission
Ridge commanded his own and the ODD
Ohio regiment. During the third day
of the latter battle, while engaged in an
assault on the face of the Ridge, General
Wiley lost his limb. After he had re-
covered sufficiently from this injury, he
was placed in command of the 100 day
men at Camp Cleveland, and later was
engaged in mastering out the veteran
combatants.
His political record consists in having
been a candidate for Secretary OF State
against Gen. Wykoff in 1872 having
been elected Probate Judge of Wayne
county for one term, and the nomination
for the second.

GENERAL WILEY.

He Is Nominated for Congress at MasslllOn, on
Thursday Evening, Last Week, on tho l42nd
BallOt-A Happy Termination Of Long Strug'
gle.
The Democratic Congressional Con-
vention, to nominate candidate for this,
the l6.h district, was held at Massillon
on Thursday of last week, and on the
l42d ballot nominated GENERAL AoUILA
Wiley, of Wooster, now Probate Judge
of Wayne county. The last vote stood :
Eshelman So, al from Wayne, and IA
from Ashland,) Warwick 20, WILEY 70,
$50 from Stark, IA from Ashland, 20 from
Portage.)
The last ballot wasquite a change from
the one before, for that stood, Wiley 40,
(26 from Portage and IA from Ashland, }
McGregor 80, Warwick rs, lacking three
only of a nomination, and made up Of
20 from Stark, Al from Wayne, and IA
from Ashland. But the pole that knock
ed the persimmons and closed the strug-
gle, came the very next time, to the sur
prise of some, but to the joy of most Of
those who we're anxious for a happy
conclusion.
1t is happy that all the defeated can
didates for the nomination at the Mas
sillon convention are 30 cordially salts
fed with the nomination of Gen. Wiley.
The General was nominated in spite of
the Wayne county delegation, of which
he was one, and therefore in spite of
himself, and when the confusion subsi-
ded, Gen. Wiley arose and stated he was
now a candidate for re election to the
Office of Probate Judge, and hoped the
convention would reconsider their action
in regard to himself. Mr.. McSweeney
Immediately arose, and in his usual happy
style, opposed Gen. Wiley's request-in.
sisted upon the Generals acceptance,
and said somebody else could be found
to run for Probate Judge in old Wayne;
that, rather than miss, if they could not
do better, he (McSweeney) would take
it himself. Mr.. Eshelman followed Mr.
McSweeney, and also magnanimously
insisted that Gen. Wiley should accept
the nomination thus rendered. Mr.. Nc.
Gregor followed Mr.. Eshelman, express
ing satisfaction with the nomination Of
Gen. Wiley, that, on his advice and per-
sonal appeal, his noble and steadfast
thirty-nine delegate friends ofStark, vo-
ted for Gen. Wiley and nominated him
that it was just right, and the General
would be triumphantly elected. Mr.
McGregor desired to state to the conven'
ton that he had been a candidate there
only because he had been endorsed by
theDemocracy ofStark county at their pri
mary meetings, and in accordance with
that expression, his thirty.nin friends
pillars of the Democratic church, had
faithfully stood by him until he request
ed them, as a personal favor, to vote fol
the gallant Gen. Wiley. He hoped nc
change would be thought Of. The nom.
ination was just right, and let the happy
conclusion of this days work stand as
it is. Mr.. D. c. Goodman in few words
expressed himself veil pleased with the
nomination of Gen. Wiley.
General Wiley then arose and said
that after hearing what he had, though
really hardly reconciled to the situation,
he would accept the nomination 30 un'
expectedly conferred upon him.
We refer our readers to the report oi
the proceedings of the convention in
this paper.

GOVERNOR HAMPTON, the good genius
Of South Carolina, has succeeded, in pro
curing leave for refugees from the State
charged with offences underline Ku Klux
laws to return to their homes without fear
Of molestation in the courts, on condition
that they live quietly and observe the
laws. Most of the offences charged date
several years back and were part OF the
general disorderly condition of things
which has now, it is hoped, permanently
ceased The Governor has also called
on the " Moonshiners, the illicit distill>
ers from the mountain counties, and en-,
cages to procure them immunity for past
offences on condition that they strictly
abstain hereafter from their lawless bust
ness. He anticipates success in this plan,
and about twenty five illicit distillers
have already availed themselves of the
Governors offer.
