PLETELY SQUELCHED.

GENERAL BELIEF OF MAcKENzIE's RAID INTO
MEXICO - STEWARDS CASTLE CONVERTED
INTO A CHINESE HEADQUARTERs--NOT
ING DONE IN ILLICIT DIsTILLERs' CASES.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Crowds of idle
people, mostly tramps are gathered in the
vicinity of the various government works,
but no disturbance has taken place to-day.
The police are out in full force and the men
az work are fully protected. 1t is rumored
about the streets that the disturbance has
been organized for o'clock to-day, but the
police authorities discredt the rumor.
NOT DOUBTED.
No official advices have been received
here confirming the report that Colonel
Mackenzie has again crossed the line into
Mexico, this time with a large force, in
pursuit ofIndians and Mexican thieves.
Officials at the war Office, however, do not
doubt the report, and expect to hear from
Gen. Ord on the subject as soon as Mackcn-
Zie returns.
CHINESE HEADQUARTERS.
One of the finest residences here, built by
Ex-senator Stewart, of Nevada. and known
to at least local fame as Castle Stewart, will,
it is said, become the headquarters of the
new Chinese minister and his suite.
THE ILLICIT DTsTIILERs.
William Earle, special counsel for the in
ternal revenue officers now incarcerated in
the Greenville Jail, says that after several
consultations with the attorney gen.
eral and other members of the cabinet, no
definite course of action has yet been deter
mined upon, and that it will be difficult to
say what will he done in advance of the de-
velopments of thecase. He is of the opin-
ion that the great mass of the people in
South Carolina favor the observance of the
revenue laws and that it is anfair deduction
to assume that the clamor of few interest
ed parties should be taken for public opin-
ion throughout the State. Mr.. Earle iurth-
er says that he has high opinion of Judge
Kershaw, regarding him as a conservative
and conscientious man, who has often eX-
pressed himself in favor OF the enforcement
of the revenue laws, and that the point is as
to the power of the general government, and
that decision by the United States supreme
court on the question as to the jurisdiction
of national and state courts is earnestly
desired by many prominent jur.
ors in the state who entertain the same
opinion on the subject as the judge, that
illicit diStilling is chiefly confined to tn,
mountain districts on the northern bordc
where the inhabitants are ignorant and un
cultivated, that he has never had any diff
Guilty in securing jury to punish an illici
distiller, as the farmers outside of a certain
portion of the state find the traffic hurtfu
to their interests. Mr.. Earle expects tc
remain here some days. Officials of inter.
nal revenue say there is not the slghtes,
fear of any trouble in the event of special
session of the federal court to try the case
efforts being made by the department tc
encourage the establishment of legal dis
tileries, which the commissioner think,
will go far to put stop to all troubles witt
moonshiners.

to reduce him to subIection. Sergt. Gatlin
threw a rope to the officer which the latter
tied about the prisoner, and by this means
the man was hauled on shore like curious
monster Of the deep. He gave his maine

In similar manner six other bathers we're
subsequently arrested and imprisoned.
They will be arraigned in court to-day.

A HUMORIsT ON THE DUELING FIELD.

H. w. Grady tells the following in an ar
ticle on "Georgia Duels," published in the
Philadelphia Times: There is one figure that
stands out refreshingly cool and unique du-
ring these troublous times. This man was
John NJ Dooly, the man who announced that
he would not fight under any cireum.
stances He was probably the most brilliant
man produced in that era, prolific of giants.
His abilities were transcendent, and his fail
ure to make national reputation arose from
no other cause than his refusal to fight on any
and all occasions. A non. combatant could
not hold his head up in those turbulent times.
Dooly had the most delicious humor, and a
sharp tongue withal. He was continually
getting into trouble because of his satirical
sayings. He was perfectly fearless Of speech.
Judge Gresham once threatened to chastise
him. Dooly replied, "You can do so if you
like. You will get no credit for it, however.
Anybody can do it, and great many have
done it," He was once knocked down by q
gentleman that he had introduced as the in
ferior Judge of the inferior court of the infe-
rior county of Lincoln. He called Justify on
the spectators for help, and when rescued
from his antagonist, rubbed bis head and re-
marked, dryly: "Well that is the forty-sec.
oud fight have been engaged in, and if I
ever got the best of single one l do not now
remember it." Before Dooly's peace pro.
clivities were fully known, he was challenged
to mortal combat by a Mr.. Tate, who came
to the field with Mr.. w. H. Crawford as his
second. Dooly accepted the challenge. Tate
had lost leg and wore wooden one.
When he and his friend reached the field they
found Dooly alone, sitting on stump.
"Where is your friendf" asked Crawford,
in some surprise. "He is in the woods, sir"
"And will be present in moment, sir, I
suppose ?" said Crawford. eyes, as soon as
he can find bee-gum."
"May inquire what he wants with bee
gumY' "Why I want to put my leg in it..
Do you suppose I can afford to risk my leg Of
flesh against Tate's leg of wood9 If hit his
leg, he will get another tomorrow and peg
away as usual. If he hits mine, it may kill
me or compel me to stump it like him for the
balance of my life. No., sir; l must have q
gum. Then I will be just as much wood rs
be is, and we will be on equal terms"
II understand you, Colone! Dooly; you do
not intend to fight" "Why, really, Colonel
Crawford. | thought everybody knew that"
"Very we'll, sir; but remember, Colonel,
your name, in no enviable light, will fill the
column of a newspaper tomorrow. II as
sure you, my dear sir, l had rather ill every
column in every newspaper in Georgia than
one coffin"

which protect US from the jolts and shocks of
life-which lubricate the wheels of our other
wise inaamed activities, are the jokes of the
day-the sly raps we give each other and the
quiet nudges of fun which tickle the ribs of
our jollity. How can such large depart

ty and true applications Of its principles. 1

amusements, so that the mirth-loving ele-
ment of our population should be fed in a
way and under such circumstances as to ad-
minister to the innocence Of character and
the elevation of society at large, and not to
its debauchery. It is shame that the mem
bers of our churches have to seek their
amusements and the education of their minds
and their emotions in comedy and tragedy
both, in oratory and music alike, in fiat dis.
obedience of an unwritten but imperative law
in their churches which bans, without dis
elimination, the declaration of the noblest
poetry, and the voealization of the most per-
feet music of the world.-W Fl. Fl. Murray.

ing life. Some people are always wishing

body. 1t is better to be interested in inferior
persons and things than to be Indifferent with
the best. A principal cause Of this indiffer-
epce is the adoption of other peoples tastes
instead of our own-the pursuit after that
for which we are not fitted, and to which, con-
sequently, we are not in realit, inclined.
This folly pervades, more or less, all classes,
and arises from errors of building our enjoy.
ment on the false foundation of the worlds

others, each our own world.

A STORY OF JOHN F. TRACY, THE DEAL

A STORY OF JOHN F. TRACY, THE DEAD
RAILROAD K1Ne.-Sitting in his Chicago
Office in his shirt-seeves, he was assailed by a
glib.tongued emissary of railway supply
firm, who getting the audience Mr.. Tracy re-
fused to none. went through his role briskly.
It was Mr.. Tracy's life-habit to be simply
absorbent listener, but it was like putting
your errand into the mouth of bronze lion.
He listened and that was all. Nothing in his
face ever foreshadowed his answer. The
drummer, at the close of bis appeal, dropped
into q confidential tone and said: "Mr. Ira
cy, the figures we give are to your company,
to you they will be fus per cent. less" With
out word or wink ofintelligence, Mr.. Tracy
arose, opened the door, sat down at his desk
and became absorbed in his work. The visit
or sat until the minutes began to drop as
heavy as lead, and Traeys pen scratched
away in the silence like John Alden's in the
poem. At last the waiting party said :
"Well, Mr.. Tracy, what do you think of my
propositionf" Tracy turned with an affected
air of intensest astonishment, "What, you
here yet thought you must have got a
mile away. I opened the door for you half
an hour ago"-Boston Advertiser.

man recently deceased, contains the following
unique proviso: II bequeath to my monkey,
my dear and amusing Jacko, the sum of 910
sterling per annum, to be employed for his
sole and exclusive use and benefit; to my

three, the lapsed pension shall pass to the
other two, between whom it is to be equally
divided. On the death of all three, the sum
appropriated to this purpose shall become the

OBITUARY.
p. o. CoNvER.


Mr.. p. 0. CONVEX, Editor of the
Forest Press, died on Tuesday, March
10, 1873, at s o'clock A. M, aged 45
years, month and II days.
Mr.. Conver was born in Montgom-
cry County, Pa. When six years of
age he came with his father, George
Conver, to Richland township, Venan-
go county, near Emlenton. At the
age Of 16, hO entered the Office of E.
S. Durham, who was then publishing
the Advocate and Journal at Franklin,
and there completed his trade. He
became very speedy compositor, and
in addition to his regular labor, he is:
sued little sheet monthly, called the
To,Un Pump, which is we'll remembered
to this day by all the old and middle
aged citizens of franklin. At the age
of 20 years be went to Kansas with
Geo. W. Brown, and worked with him,
ne believe, until Browns Office was
destroyed by a prO-slavery mob. He
then moved to Topeka, then small
town, but now thriving city and Cap
ital of the State, and established pa.
per called the Kansas Journal. This
paper had an existence of one year,
and its publication was stopped be-
cause of the border troubles, and of
threatening letters he was constantly
10 receipt Of About this time the war
commented, aud he came East, enlist.
ed in the 4th Pa. Cavalry, and served
in that regiment until the war closed.
Shortly after this he established pa
per at Emlenton, his old home, called
the Allegheny Valley Echo, which was
not financial success, and passed out
of his hands. He came to Tionesta on
Christmas, 1867, and after getting the
citizens interested in the project he
started the Forest Press, which is still
running. Since we have been &C.
quainted with him-ten years-he has
been a hard working, industrious man,
never having help in his Office except
on press days, and, very rarely, when
he has been sick. Some six months
ago he was attacked by dyspepsia, and
has been going down steadily ever
since. 1t was not supposed, however,
by those who knew his condition best,
that he would not eventually recover,
until two or three weeks ago, since
which time he sank rapidly until he
died.
He was a man who had many warm
friends, and he will be remembered in
Forest County as long as any of the
present generation survive.
The paper will be issued by Mr.. J.
E. Wenk, for month or such a mat
ter, and the probabilities arc that ar.
gangements will be made to continue
its publication regularly hereafter.
just before his death he requested
3. y. Irwin, Esq. to write his obituary
for the Press, and it will appear in the
next issue of that paper. We are in.
debted to Mr.. Irwin for most of the
facts in the above sketch.
The funeral will take place from the
late residence of the deceased at 10
o'clock A. NJ. tomorrow.
