For years after Secretary Seward
had closed the bargain for the pur-
chase of Alaska, eastern papers were
in the habit of writing down that
country. They declared that it was
of no earthly value. That nothing
could be obtained from it. Every
ignorant writer had his fling about
Alaska. The New York papers were
CONSPICUOUS for that business. Now
these papers are just beginning 70

wealth. 1t has a climate mildcr than
Scotland, and it has greater natural
resources than the six New England
states. The Hartford Post. making
this admission, SAYS: Alaska is en-

silver, copper, graphite, lead, IRON,
sulphur and coal. Its waters swarm
with fish; millions of salmon of the
finest quality frequent its lnlctS and
rivers, and there are halibut, Goldfish,
and its islands and coasts are favo-
rite hauutS of countless seals. Its
mountains ace covered with pine for

there is prairie land and pasture

The belief IS almost universal that
there will be another Indian war next
summer. Indeed the people of the
Black Hills, Wyoming Territory, are
thoroughly alarmed, and believe that
the Indians will not wait until the
winter is past before they commence
hostlIltcs. In nearly every quarter
of the frontier similar apprchcnsions
are felt, and II the government ana
the people are wise enough To profit
by the indications and the experience
of the past, much could be done to
avert the threatened danger. Very
much is said about the failure of the
government to keep It's promises to
the Indians, and to supply them with
food upon the reservations; but no
one who knows what Indians are will
expect them to remain satisfied and
peaceful while ltls left III their power

From the New York World October Isu

From the New York World, October 18th
1t was said of the force with which
Sir Neville Chamberlain set forth ON
his recent unfortunate embassy to the
ameer of Cabul, that it was too large
for an escort and too small for an
army. In like manner it must be said
of Mr.. Tilden's letter concerning the
cipher kilograms of which we have
heard so much recently, that it was too
long for denial and too short for an
explanation. 1t surely was not neccs-
saIy for Tilden to assure the country
that he went into the Presidential can
vass with ~ fixed purpose to take no
part whatever III "auy shameful com
petition for that office. And it is lit
tie less than amazing that he should
have conceived it to be incumbent upon
him to set forth the motives which led
him to entertain that "hXcd purpose.
So far as the Republicans are con
ccrmcd, Mr. Tildcn's card was scarcely
needed to strengthen the evidence fur

Further Details 0f the CambOn Affair In
1T. John Parish.

The st. Charles Mirror OF the thirteenth in
stant contained a detailed and highly sensa-
tiona account OF the discovery of human re-
| mains. under n barn on the Union plantation.
in st. John parish
These remains the Mirror opined. were those
Of Mrs. Cambon, who had mysterously disap-
peared two years ago from the parish. and
who, together with M r. CamboD, her husband,
was living on that pnntation. Then followed
81 long discussion on the unhappy life the eou-
pie led, etc. and the upshot WIS that the Mirror
| seemed to intimate that Cambon had murdered
his wife.
The inhabitants Of st. John the Baptist treat
ed that story with incredulity. In order to
clear from calumny the memory of a man who
| had always been noted for his honesty and good
qualities Mr.. Cambon died two months ago.,
the grand jury Of 1T. John parish Investigated
the matter and made the following report:
Extract from the report Of the grand jury #

CambOn easel

death of Mrs. Cambon of this parish resulting

son Of the gravity and serious nature Of said
rumors, we find that after examining Witnesses
residing, on the place Of the late Mr.. Cambon
| and in the immediate neighborhood. there Is
| no foundation in fact for he same, and the re-
ports Of the manner in which Mrs. Cembon met

Especial to the Democrat
WASHINGTON, April % Smith seems to be
quietly working up considerable of chance
for confirmation. He does not appear to be
seriously antagonlzed from any quarter at
present He claims that Kellogg will support
him actively, and that Eusts will not oppose
him Eustis himself, however, is non-conl-
initial and does not indicate definitely what
he will do when the nomination is reported
from the committee. My inference Is that he
takes very little personal interest in the
matter and unless moved to exertion by
expressions from his constituents, will let the
thing go by default
Tomorrow promises to be q day of interest
in the House. An effort will certainly he made
to prevent the reference of the Florida con
fnssion TO the Judiciary Committee, and II Is
by no means certain that the two-thirls vote
necessary to suspend the rules can be OBJ
tained The matter, however. will be put In
such shape that members will have to make
| a record on the subject.
The friends Of Hayes express confidence to-
night that the resolution to reopen the case
will fail, and they openly say that forty Dem
| ocrats, at least. will vote against it.

A SAD AFFAIR.
Lady Jumps From Train In Motion

Last night Mr.. VIM Kerns and his wife, Ana
staca kerns boarded the O'Clock train Of the
New Orleans and Lake Railroad at the New
Lake End. and appeared to be in q most con-
vivial mood as they took their stand upon the
forward platform Of the last car.
The eated couple attracted the attention Of a
number OF other passengers. who expressed
the opinion that unless the lady held on 10 the
railing tightly the chances were against her IA
70 her making the entire j6aruey. It was but d
very few, moments after the, above remarks
were made that It was echoed throughout the
train that Mrs. Kern had been crushed by the
last car Of the train. The train was immediate
y stopped by the conductor and on the track
at the intersection Of st. Patrick street was
found the unfortunate lady. with both fe !
crushed.
She was put upon the train. and everything
that could be done WAS done to alleviate her
suffering until she arrived at Liberty street
when the train was stopped and she was re-
moved to the Charity Hospital and placed under
the care OF the assistant house surgeon, DIR.
Miles.
It appears that the lady was standing on the
platform of the car, when she had PRESENT.
