falls far short of what they desired. !
They can do it in order to settle the
question of the validity of the bonds,
and settle it forever. 1t is strong
point gained. 1t foils the repudia-
tionists in one Of their boldest
and most dishonest schemes to &C
complish dishonorable purpose.
IF not single bondholder had ever
signifed his willingness to accept
the proposition, this point alone
would have justified the State
credit men of the Legislature who
supported this measure, in the policy
they pursued.
But, in view of all the
circumstances, in view of a
public sentiment in Tennes,
see which ought never to have ex-
listed, but which does exist, in view
of stubborn though unpleasant and
disagreeable facts, We believe that
if this proposition is carried and
the Legislature will provide for
honestly carrying it out, a large
majority of the bondholders will
fund under it. We are encouraged
in this belief after reading an edi-
torial in the Baltimore San, which
paper speaks for bondholders in that
city representing about three mil
lions of the bonds. The San says i:
"Those in Tennessee who manfully
stood up for paying the debt and
wished the bondholders' proposition
| accepted, now advocate the 500 act
| because they think it the best they
can get out of the semi-repudiatiOn
element in the State, and the masses
who have been deceived and duped by
the artful cries of the demagogues.
The Baltimore bOndholders generally,
we suppose, would have been satisfied
| if the State had accepted the so per
| can't. proposition, bearing 6 per cent.
| interest, and the Peabody trustees
| formally gave their assent to it, in
connection with the New York parties
| who prepared the offer and cOmmuni-
Gated it to the Governor and Legisla-
ture of Tennessee. On the whole, as
things are now, we have little doubt
that the majority Of Tennessee bond
holders ia Maryland aUoutd prefer to
see the people Of that State cote f0VOr-
ably on the 5O4 proposition.
We believe the SIN properly rep
resents the bondholders every where,
with the exception of few shy
locks who contend for their pound
of flesh and hope by some means
yet to gain it.
But whether they do or not, we
feel justified in advocating the prop
osition, on the ground above stated
that it puts forever the question Of
validity out of sight. When thai
is done, long stride has beer
made in the direction of an honor
able settlement, even if the bond
holders decline to accept the So
proposition.

SOME of the more prudent Dem

SOME of the more prudent Dem
ocratic politicians are getting ready
to dodge the issues made by their
leaders in Congress. This is per-
fectly natural. There never was a
party presented before the public in
a more unenviable attitude than
that in which the Democracy of
this country stands to-day. And
they have been working at this thing
for three years with view to pre-
senting hobby upon which they
could ride into power. At first they
took up the fraud business. But
the fearful exposure of the cipher
dispatches drove them from that and
now many of the leaders de-
nounce poor old Sam. Tilden in
the severest terms. The only ele-
ment of strength he has left is his
bar'ls, and they are not as full as
they once were. And they have
failed in everything else. The ex-
ira session was rendered necessary,
in order to make up issues for the
campaign of next year favorable to
the Democracy, but the Brigadiers
went on from one blunder to anoth-
er, and now defeat stares them in
the face unless they can dodge the
issues Of their own creation. But
they cont dodge The issues are
made up. The Democrats have
made their own bed and thereon
they must lie.

A desperate and bloody renconter &C.
Cured in The business center recently,
which involved the serious wounding of
two young clerks, named Wood Kinds and
VIM. NJ. James, parties TO a sanguinary
hand-to hand duel. Kinds and James, who
are twenty-four and twenty-sight years old
respectively, have for years been intimate
companions, and leaders in an extensive
social circle in West Baltimore, and are
members of very respectable families. The
cause leading to the affair was the alleged
seduction of James's sister by young Kinds,
who until the past year was a constant at
tendant of the lady. For this period, how.
ever, he has not been on terms of intimacy
with the family, and from being boon COM
panions he and James became deadly
enemies. James entered the dry goods
store where Kinds was employed, drew a
revolver, and, aim st before his intended
victim had time to appreciate his true posi-
ton, James had emptied the seven chambers
of his revo'ver at Kinds, who at first tried
to evade his aim, but finding tn s impossible,
drew his own weapon and fired rapidly on
James. Before the bystanders had time tc
interfere both weapons were emp led, and
the combatants were in the act of Draining
each other wi h the now useless weapons
when separated. Surgeons were summoned
and an examination showel that while eacf
had received three bullets, none hat
touched a vital part.

here, where for every place vacant,
there are a hundred young men and
women. In such circumstances it is a
manifestation of folly for people to
crowd into the city, there to scramble
for the little employment that is going.
If you are a young man stay where
you are. If a young woman once peeps
into the many employment offices in
the city, where day after day young
girls sit, almost vainly waiting a chance
for honest labor that will save them and
their honor, it will cure you of any de-

more Au.trian Rumor..

Inquiries at the Austrian Embassy re-
specting the reported attempt upon the life
of Emperor Francis Joseph during his stay
at Goedselloe Palace, Hungary, resulted
only in the statement that the Minister was
not aware of any attempt at assassination of
his Imperial master having been made. But
it was added that the Emperor, in common
with all the sovereigns Of Europe, had OF
late received warnings that his life was in
danger, and due precaution had been taken.
Political feeling among the disconnected
c asses in Hungary had f r some time been
running very high. The occupation OF
Bosnia and Herzegovina had been made the
occasion of violent appeals to the discon.
tented, and a serious Cabinet crisis had been
the result. The reported attempt at assas
sination, however, could not have been con
ceiyed, if conceived at all, by patriotic il
misled Hungarians. 1t was most probably
the part of a general plot for the assassina
ton of sovereigns and their Ministers which
had already made its attempts in Russia
Germany, Spain, and Italy. Inquiries mad,
among political exiles in London, confirmed
this opinion. Francis Joseph, it was said
was put upon the lis. of sovereigps to b,
killed, not for any particular evil he hat
done but because he was a King.

Girl Prisoner Hangs uar>s,,

Kate Punch, a ~fne-.ooking girl, sixteen
years of age, was committed to the House
of Refuge, on Randalrs Island, August %
on complaint of her parents. On the 27th
of December she committed suicide by
hanging. The girl was employed with 9TH
ers at scrubbing and general work in the
kitchen. In answer to a question of Assist
ant Matron Cotton, she expressed herself
as having enjoyed Christmas. She also said
that she had finished her work for the day.
Afterward Matron Haines discovered that
the work had not been done. The girl was
sent for and refused to do the work. She
was sent to Head Matron Perry, who was
unable to learn from her any reason why
she would not do her work. She was &C.
cordingiy sent to her room and told to go to
bed, with the privilege of sending word to
the Marion whenever she was willing to
perform her task. A little before five p. m.
one of the under Ma IRONS went to her room
with her supper. When she opened the
door the dead body of the girl swung sus'
pended by the neck with a strip evidently
torn from a sheet. Matron Perry was at
once informed of the suicide, and the body
was cut down, but life had been extinct for
some time.

A Thrilling Incident Of the Flood In
the Delaware River,
Port Jarvis Cor. New York SUM-

lPort Jarvis Oor. New York SUM-
The incidents connected with the late
food in this section are many, but none,
probably, are possessed of so much of
thrilling adventure as the experience of
Levi ]. Clayton, of Equinunk. Equi-
hunk is a numbering district, situated
across the Delaware River from Ford
vile, on the Erie Railroad, and sixty
six miles from the village. Previous
to the food, Holbert & Branning, lum-
Der dealers, had a number Of RATS
lodged in the Delaware, and in view of
the threatened rising of the water a
party of men were directed to secure
them with ropes to the bank. Levi J.
Clayton was one of the men engaged in
this work, which occupied the entire
night. The RATS had all been made
fast with tue exception of one, which
was lying far out into the stream. To
secure this Clayton got upon it, and was
in the act of attaching a rope to it when
it parted from the others, and'was soon
whirling around in the current. The
river at this time was a roaring torrent
and the raft, having reached the middle
of the stream, was soon lost to the view
of those on shore, and shot into the
darkness Of the night and away on it
perilous journey, with its bewilderet
and terrified occupant. The river al
this point is full of eddies, and many ar
the dangers to be guarded against, ever
in a moderate freshet, owing to its ser
pentine course. The utter darkness o
the night, the noise of the rushing, roar
ing waters, the uncertainty of the. re
suit, and the knowledge of being born
away on the crest of the torrent, com
bined to make the situation one O
horror.
For five long hours did the raft con
tinue its mad career. At about day
light it passed Narrowsburg, and a fey
minutes later ran against the PennsyI
vania abutment of the bridge near tina
place. The shock completely wrecke

Happy Thoughts,

He is a good man indeed who does all
the good he talks of.
1t is possible for a man to know his
own mind and yet know very little
1t is perfectly safe to have some men
owe you a grudge, for they never pay
anything.
1t does not follow that a blacksmith
has no virtues because he is always to be
found at his vice.
1t is a good proverb which says that
every man hath his cricket in his head
and makes it sirg as he pleases.
The vain mar is, after all, the hapni-
est. While the rest of us are trying to
please otht rs he is perfectly satisfied if
he only pleases himself.
