THE Brick Pomeroy clubs Of Obi
are credited with causing the demon
slization ia the Greenback ranks il
that State. Commenting on the stu
alton, Pomeroy says in the Lacrosse
Democrat:
Mr.. Ewing is not and never ha:
beee an advocate Of what the Green
back men demand. He is not .hei;
chief apostle and never will be. lie
is a toadying Demoerst, and canno,
rise above the level. BE wears the
collar Of BeImo-t, and like a patien,
political mule, when the whip of bis
master is laid over his back, be moves
ahead as his master guides.
Ever since 1865 the Democratic
party has lied to the Greenback men
and now their Gamnation or democrat
izatioa rests on their own heads.
As to how the Greenbackers will
vote, he says:
Whom the devil destroys be FIRST
makes idiotic. The Democrats Of
Ohio got on their knees to the Green
back men, to be spanked by the rag
baby and kicked by the bullion-bag-
gers. They can take their choice
abandon Democracy as a party and
come into the G~reenbsek party to be
honest, or be licked. Those who are
Greenback men will vote with the
G~reenbaek party. Those who are not
win net. The ball is opened. Take
partners.

POMPEIPS EIGHTEENTH CEN.
TENNIAL.
How Its Restoration to Life Was
Celebrated With Speeches and
Music

The destruction Of Pompeii, eight
cen centuries ago, was yesterday
commemorated in the presence of an
immense concourse of spectators,
mainly from Italy, and of scientific
men from every country in the
world. The weather was beautiful
and guests had delightful day to
wander among the ruins and exam
inc the relics which have been re-
moved from the ancient city. From
a pavilion erected in the, ancient
Basilica Professor Ruggieri, the di-
rector of the excavations, delivered
an address explaining the newest
mode of prosecuting discoveries and
giving an account of some of the
most important discoveries that have
been made since the excavations
were commenced. He ATTEMPTED to
describe to the guests assembled the
city as it must have appeared
eighteen hundred years ago, and re-
ferred to the account of the destruc-
ton of the city and Herculane-
tum as recounted by the younger
Pliny. Count Guanciali and Mgr.
Mirabelli then acclaimed Latin
verses, commemorative ofthe event.
After visit to the ruins excavations
we're begun under Signor Ruggieri's
uperintendence. The spectators
eagerly watched the process: STRAIT
UNI after stratum was removed. In
the first layer vases were discovered;
in the second a mass of .cinders,
which gradually revealed several
bronze vases of various sizes, two of
them having perfectly exquisite sill
yer handles, and also many brace
lets, brooches, rings, coins, Kitchen
utensils and earthen vases. Under
them were found wooden beams and
sacks of partially calcined corn. The
objects that We're discovered will en-
rich the museums of Naples and
Pompeii. A spacious refreshment
tent was erected on an eminence
commanding lovely panorama.
Capital music was furnished by or
chestras from various Italian cities.

The Kentucky Vendetta.

GRAYsoN, (Ky.j, October 13.-Jesse
Underwood was shot at the door of
his fathers house, known as Fort
Underwood, yesterday morning.
The Holbrook party surrounded the
house, threatening to kill any
body who would dare to bury
Jesse's body or rescue George, who
is badly wounded, and, with the
women and children, is all that re-
mains of the unfortunate family.
George sent word to the County
Judge praying for help and protec-
ton. The Governor has been APP
pealed to, but has not responded
This is the fifth murder within the
last three weeks in Carter county,
four of the murdered men being
Underwoods and one a member of
the Holbrook tribe, and nothing
has been done by any officer, from
the Governor down to the county
magistrates, to check this fearful
bloodshed.

RUSSIAN EXlLES.
How the Condemned Nihilists

A letter has been printed, signed

and confirmed by the Daily News,

Mr.. Cezar says that he saw the ves-

A Wife's Love That Stood the
Test.

A very singular affair has just oc-
Cured in this city. A sewing ma
chine agent by the namo of Pendle-
ton thought he would test the affec
tons of his wife. He accordingly
went to an upper story of his resi-
dence and opened the window. lie
then tied a stout rope around his
body under his arms, fastened one
end to something in the room, and
stepped out of the window. He
then made noise which attracted
his wite's attention. She came and
beheld the perilous predicament
which he was in. She felt the need
of doing something at once to save
her husband. In her excitement
she seized knife and cut the rope.
The result was that he was precipi-
lated some twenty-five to the ground
beneath. Strange as 1t may appear,
he escaped serious injury, but it will
probably be some time before he at
tempts similar exploit Bangor

THE CAUSE OF THE COLLAPSE

Some days ago the Reno Gazette
sent special reporter to Como, to
ascertain "the truth Of the matter"
concerning the camp, its history, and
prospects. The young man Che is
evidently young and inexperienced)
did very we'll as long as be confined
himself to statements about what he
saw, and his report of the present
stage of development of the mines is
In the main correct; but in his en-
deavoi to give a plausible reason for
the ultimate abandonment of the
camp in the sixties he deviates from
the region Of cold fact and enters the
realms of fancy. The immediate
cause of the collapse was the discov-
cry of enormously rich ore in the up
ger levels of the Gould and Curry
NINE. When the news ofthis discov-
cry first reached the outside camps
the inhabitants, with one accord,
started for the Comstock. The resi-
dents of Como and Palmyra were
probably the first outsiders to hear of
it, and with sort of vil-take-the-
hindnlost feeling. hurriedly took their
blankets and set off for the new Do
RADIO. A few mine-owners and bust
ness men remained and continued to
work the mines. But in those days
quartz mining and milling was still
in its infancy in the United States,
and involved such enormous expense
that only the very richest ores could
be made to pay. Of all the mines
then opened very few indeed ever
proved remuacrative. The Como
ores not being sufficiently rich the
men who had invested their last cent
in the camp we're gradually COM
PEELED to leave, and the place was
soon abandoned. The statement of
the Gazette's young man that, at the
instigation of Comstockers, John B.
Winters caused the failure of the
camp by raising the mullers in the
pans of the Whitman mill so that the
ore would not amalgamate, will cause
millmen to smile.

THAR fiery, untamed editor of
Mississippi who Went to some of the
Western States to exhibit himself as
q lecturer has made such dismal
failure Of 1t that he has utterly lost
his faith in things. People decline
to regard him as sufficiently an at
traction to invite them out in crowds
to see him, and he has had hard
work to get more than FIVE or six
people together on complimentary
tickets to hear him lecture, AS he
calls 1t. II this reckless man had
ever accustomed himself to thinking
he would have known before he be-
gan his wild careerss lecturer that
IL must have turned out failure.
1t is q we'll known fact that startling
human deformities have been profit
ably placed on exhibition, but the
country has become so used to them
that they no longer attract such wide
attention. In the early days of
Barnum a man without brains
with his picture printed in many
colors on big posters-would have
drawn immensely, but the day for
these exhibitions has gone by.
There is now no demand for such
curiosities, outside the side show of
q big circus, where there are other
attractions to enchain the multitude.
If the Okolona man AND the Lamars
man we're put in . cage, now, and
placed in line around menagerie
tent, it isspossibie they might secure
a passing glance or two as the folks
went around to see the animals, be-
cause men without brains are not

THE reason why so few women
get into politics has just been ex-
planned in an address by Mrs.
Blaine before the Illinois Social Sci.
ence Association. According to this
authority the reason is that women
lace so tight that politics have no
chance with them, and one of the
sex was held up as glittering ex-
ample of one who disdained to lace.
She has already reached the high po-
sition of Superintendent of Public
Schools in her county, and is willing
to rise still higher. 1t will not do to
undertake discussion on this sub
jecl, and eonceding that Mrs. Blaine's
idea is the right one there is abso-
lutely no remedy tor the difficulty.
The women of this country are not
going to give up their privilege of
tight lacing merely to become poll
tIcians. This ought to be considered
official.-Phila. Times.

COMO AND PALMYRA.
A Reno Papers Explanation Of
the Failure Of These Camps.

A mile west of Como, and over
the Hill, was Palmyra, a townof 500
inhabitants as against Como's 1900 or
1900 at least. Both places went to-
gether and not house remained.
The great interest taken at present is
the more remarkable from the fact
that there have been no bodies of ore
unearthed this year which were not
known then, and if the mines are
worth opening up now the question
is asked, how could it be so effect
ually squelched fifteen years agol
Old miners answer that the Com
stockers combined to crush the ris-
ing young camp, and that John B.
Winters was the selected agent. He
went there and took charge of the
mill as soon as it was built, and, it is
said, raised the mullers SO that the
ore would not amalgamate, and the
result was-collapse. In addition to
this there was gross Encouragement
in the work of prospecting. Thou
sands of dollars worth of dead work
was done. In one places tunnel
runs into the hill for hundred feet,
then turns to the right and runs an
other hundred feet and stops within
eight feet of the surface. Another
tunnel in hard rock, runs in 300 feet,
and is only twenty feet under ground
