DiShOneat Solicitors.

Complaint was made at Omaha, Neb-
raska on the End inst, by L. s. district at
tornev Neville, against H. \. Newman, late
collector Of internal revenues for the district
of Nebraska, Johu Roberts and w. T. Bart
lett, deputy collector. Bartlett is charged
with the embezzement of 5000. Newman
and Roberts are charged with knowing the
fact, but withholding the same from the
commissioner of internal revenue for the pur-
pose Of shielding Bartlett. The latter return
ed the money subsequently, and Newman's
accounts are all straight, the government
not losing a dollar. Newman and Roberts
were arrested to-day and waived examination
and gave nominal bonds. Bartlett is now in
Michigan, and will be arrested as soon as
possible. Sympathy here is strong for New.
man, as his violation of law was prompted
by pity for Bal tlett whose wife was very i'll
at the time, and exposure then might have
caused he: death, and rs full restitution has
since been made to the government. 1t is
considered here very doubtful whether the
grand jury will bring indictments against
Newman and Roberts Under the foregoing
circumstances.

A Jaguar''s Escape.

A writer in: Appleton's Journal tells
the following story of a iaguar's escape
from the hold of French gunboat The
animal was brought on board in wood
en- cage, and the story tells how the in
genuity of the huge cat served him.
In the moment when his movable pris-
on was being lowered through the hatch
! way he forced his: paw through the slaves
reached out and tore the shoulder of the
nearest sailor with succession dripping
blows.
The man jumped aside, yelling mur-
der. his mates slipped. their grip, and the
cage, jaguar and all tum blcd down fifteen
feet, straight into the hold, and upon a
pile of pIg-iron ballast which fractured
its bottom board
The men stood aghast, and the shrieks
and the rush; OF stampeding laborers be-
low confirmed their worst fears; the jagu-
ar was running at large in the hold of
the ship. .- ,"' >. ;..'
The brute attempted to regain the
deck, by the same road he had come
down, and, after jumping from rafter to
rafter, reached the luminous gate of the
! upper world by desperate leap; and in
the nick of time, far the sailors on deck
had recovered their wits, and were drag
ging;a "a trar-door towards the dangerous
! hole. ...,..
They were letting it down when its
edge on one side came in contact with

cine i'm connection with Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or
both, according to the requirements OF
the case.
The old supposition that "Consump-
ton is incurable." for many years de-
tered Physicians from attempting to
find remedy for that disease, and pa
tients afflicted with it recOnciled them
selves to death without an effort beihg
made to save them from doom which
was considered inevitable.
DR.. Schenck himself was supposed at
one time to be at the very gate of death,
his physicians having pronounced his
case hopeless and abandoned him to his
fate; he was CURED by the aforesaid
medicines, and afterward enjoyed unin-
terrupted good health for more than
forty years. Thousands of people have
used DR.. Schenck's preparations with
the same remarkable success.

EDITOR TWAIN.
Master Mark Said to Have Taken the
Hartford ssCOuramt.s

Hartford sSCOurant."
A Hartford correspondent of the New
York Sun says:
1t is matter of common report i'm this
city that Mr.. Clemens, otherwise known
as Mark Twain, has become the RESPONSE
BILE editor of the COurant, and intends to
make it a semi political, emi-humOrOus
journal, supporting Mr.. Hayes admins
tration, and urging the Hon. Marshal
Jewell for United States Senator, and Mr.,
Clemens himself for next Governor of
Connecticut. The COurant is very old
newspaper, and, in some respects, il has
always been funny one; but Mark
Twain's plan is to make humor a more
prominent feature of every department.,
even to the advertisements, which are to
be written by himself, and printed ct
twice the ordinary rates. The new editor
wants to get out a daily paper unlike
anything ever attempted in this country
or Europe, and his friends, relying upon
the originality of his talents, anticipate
immediate popularity tor the COurant
under his management.
called, yesterday, at Mr.. Clemens
eccentrically built residence, on Farm

there walked over to the C0urant Office.
Mr.. Clemens sat IN the chair formerly
occupied by Gen. ice Hawley. Since |
met him lass, little over year ago, the
lines of worried, wearied loo.; have
fixed themselves on his lear face, anu
his hair and mustache begin to show
little gray. He is saiG to be afflicted
with morbid ard unreasonable fear OF
insanity, and this may account for his
prenaturely aged appearance. he him
self attributes it TO an excessive use OF
tobacco, habit which he declares him
self unable to abandon. When entered
his Office he was smoking brierwood
pipe. He laid down his pen, tipped back
his chair, and extended his hand to wei
come me.
.Hullo % he said. "This is real friend
ly. Take pipe"
II hear l remarked ''that you are at
newspaper work again! How does it
seem?"
1T seems good enough, to be true," he
replied, with his customary diawl.
.sCome now," said /, Its perfectly use
less to bluff, for I've caught you in the
act"
ssOh, I drop in here once in while, "
he said, 'to look over papers for notices
OF myself and my articles, which always
keep in scrap-book-a Mark Twain self
cumming scrap-book," he added, with a
faint smile. This is rs warm place to
