a R.m.rLabIe Change Of Heart.

1t is quite amusing to see the Democratic
opponents of Mr.. Tilden laboring to prove
that he should rot have sold his elevated
railroad stock until Mr. Cyrus W. Field
gave him permission. In that Transaction
Mr.. Tilden did wha, any sensible business
man would do under similar circumstances.
He bought elevated railway stock when it
was cheap, and sold it when he had large
profit and thought there was danger that
il might sink in value. He violated no
t-ust in that case, and deserves no blame
for his action. But the came gentlemen
now SO Mortified at the betrayal of Mr..
Field, threw up their hats and hurrahed
for Mr.. Tilden in 1876, although they
knew be made the money which they took

Mr, kaI,arb's Boston Troubles

The Rev. Isaac 5. Kailoch first came
into public notice in 1857. At that time
he was pastor of the Baptist Society which
held its services in fremont Temple, Boston.
He was then about thirty years Of age.
Oae morning the good people OF the Hub
were Mortified at the announcement made
from the Court of Common Pleas for Mid.
dlesex county, Massachusetts, that the
young parson of fremont Temple was
indicted on the charge OF adultery with
Mrs. Stein, of Brsttleboro, Vermont. Mr..
Kslloch declared he was not guilty, and
made an affidavit implying that q travel
ling preacher, named Thomas, had malici-
ousiy made the charge sgsinst him. The
District Attorney in opening the case for
the Commonwealth, however, made this
statement:
We shall expect to show you that in the
latter part of December, 1856. in East
Cambridge, the Rev. Mr.. Kalloch, the de-
PENDANT, came here Cambridge from Bos-
ton, 10 a private carriage, bringing with
him lady-not his wife--nd they stopped

it is now called; on arriving At the hotel

who accompanied him went into the draw.

something occurred between Mr.. Kalloch
and the lady which excited the suspicious
Of the cham5ermaid of the hotel, who eom-
mupicated the same to the landlord. A
short time aft -rvard Mr. Kalloch and the
lady were shown into private room that
in consequence of the suspicious which had
been excited on the part of the chamber
maid, the landlord took measures BY %
arranging door leading to . private room

on inside, and to discover whether the de-
fend ant had imposed on him in introducing

while in the private room, the attorney At

for immoral purposes. Mr.. Kslloch, al

THE INDIAN QUESTION.


The Remnant OF the Seminole Tribe
in Florida Ask TO be Let Alone.
NEW YORK, August 2S-Lieutenant +.
II. Pratt, OF the Army, who had charge Of
the indian students at the Hsmpson Insti-
tue. has lately, under instructions from the
Indian Office, paid visit to the Seminoles
Indians who remain in Florida.
These Indians are small remnant OF the
Seminoles who were left in Flor
ida when the main body OF the
tribe WAS removed to the Indian Territory
many years ago. They number somewhat
less than 800. Lieutenant Pratt reports
that they did not receive HIN cordially,
and that they bluntly informed him that
they did not want to hear any "W ashing-
ton talk" They have steadily resisted all
overtures for their civilization or removal
to the Indian Territory. Judging from
Lieutenant Pratts description of them,
these people are obstinately welded to
their old ways. There are but few OF mixed
blood, and few Of them speak English
They live in houses, men and women both
work, and they subsist mainly by sgricul.
ture. Lieutenant Pratt thinks they are
about as well off rs the poorer class Of
whites in the adjoining country. They asE
no favors from The Government except tC
be let alone. Lieutenant Pfatt recon-
mends that the old barracks at Tampa Bay
be set apart for school purposes, and tina
an educated Seminole Indian be sent dow,
10 open a school.

THE sHORr CROP ENGLAND

The Chicago Times states that estimates
carefully made OF the English crops place
the loss Of farmers by the deficiency of the
wheat harvest at the enormous sum Of
e25,0OOO00. The potato crop falls El5,-
100000 short Of an average, and the loss on
beans, peas and rye is eS00Oc00. These
great losses fall exclusively on the tenant
class, the landlords taking their fixed rents,
OF course, in money. But English farmers
are not alone in their affections Official
reports show that the Austrian wheat yield
falls far short CT that of 1878. Rye is also
short crop, and large importatiOns will
be required Of both grains. Austria's small
neighbor, Servia, is likewise suffering from
drouth, which has severely injured the

We extend TO the new proprietor OF the
Times q cordial and fraterpal greeting.
Though personally unknown to US, We have
long been familiar with him through the
charming and ever-truthful pages Of Mr..
Reavis, whose Immortal work has been the
solsce Of our lonely hours sirce it first saw
light Of print. From this unerring source
we learn that Mr. Beck resembles John c.
Calhoun, in the fact OF having compressed
a four years course Of study in three years,
and that he differs from Daniel Webster
only In the slight degree in which blud-
geon differs from sulstto. "All natures
difference is but natures peace" said the
poet, and the b,udgeon and the stiIetto are
but different weapons from the same armo-
" of genius. which nature puts into the
hands Of her favored cons 10 enable them
to schieve the Immortality in store for
them.
