The Triumph in Ohio.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 19.-Col. c. W.
Moulton, brother-in-law of Secretary
Sherman, is reported from Washington
as saying that he is convinced the Sec
retary has no desire to return to his
ormer seat in the United States Senate,
and will not enter the approaching
Senatorial contest. This, however, is
his individual opinion. He has not
conversed with his brother-in-law re-
Gently on the subject.
A correspondent who had an inter
view with Gen. Ewing at his home in
Lancaster, says the defeated candidate
has no theories to offer as to the Demo.
cratic Waterloo on Tuesday. He did
everything in his power to win a
victory for the party, and he had
no complaints to make against
the leaders, who, he thought, had done
their full duty. He thinks, in view OF
the result. that Saerlnan will be the
choice of the Republicans in Ohio for
the Presidency, and that the Democrats
will still cling to Thurman and present
his name to the convention.

The silver wedding of Mr.. and Mrs

Between 400 and 500 guests were pres

The scene was very brilliant. Dancing
and feasting were the order of the even

the congratulations of their friends be-
meath bridal canopy of roses, lilies
and orange blossoms, intertwined with
the waxen leaves of various exotic
plants. On the one hand stood theil
three daughters-Alice. Emma and
Madeline, attired as bridesmaids. On
the left of the floral canopy were three
beehives, formed Of flowers, which were
supposed to represent the three absent
sons-Theodore, who is at the Univer-
sity of Heidelberg; Henry, in San Fran
cisco, and Albert, who is at college in
Freiburg, Germany. One of the most
striking features of the floral display
was huge model in flowers of the
Hebrew Orphan Asylum, of which Mr..
Seligman is president. This was pre-

Reno or determination.

WASHINGTON, Oct.--Inspector W. J.
Pollock telegraphs to the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, from Denver, COL. as
follows "The Governor and leading
citizens here unanimously affirm tina,
the Indians must be removed from the
State, or beexterminated by State if .iot
by Federal force. Confidence, they say,
can never be restored, and it IS only a
question whether the result shall be
attained at once or by slow and tedious
warfare"
Secretary Schurz says, with refer
ence to the criticisms upou his depart
ment for alleged neglect of Agent
Meeker's telegraphic appeal for relief,
that this appeal, although dated White
River Agency, Sept. 10, did not reach
Rawlins until Saturday, Sept. l3, and
Washington at six o'clock p. NJ, on
that day, and that it was communica-
ted by the Commissioner of Indian Al
fairs to the War Department on Mon
day morning, Sept. Is, whereupon
orders " ere Immediately issued for the
movement of troops to the White River
Agency.
The troops now at the White River
Agency belong to the Department of
Platte, and will, with the exception of
those left at the agency, return to their
respective stations in that department.
A force will be concentrated at some
point in the Southern Ute Reservation
to conduct operations against that

Thornburgh. General Mckenzie, COM

The Biggest Fool Yet.

Mrs. Annie Johns, a middle aged wo-
man, with three children, has bsen on
visit for a couple Of weeks to friend
in New York. While there a dealer in
vegetables, named Paul Donesky, fell
desperately in love with her. Under
the pretence of Offering vegetables for
sale to her, he approached her frequent
ly, and urged her to marry him. She
laughed at his earnestness at first, sup
posing that it was feigned. Then she
told him that she was the wife OF
another man, Donesky seemed to fancy
this was only a pretext to discourage
him and he renewed his protestations.
Mrs. Johns went to the grocery at
about noon on Thursday to make pur-
chase. AS she quilted the grocery she
met Donesky. He begged her to name
the day on which she would marry
him, but she told him that she had Of
ten assured him that she was already
married. Donesky then became angry
and said "If you will not promise to
marry me | will cut my throat" He
drew clasp knife from his pock-t,
and opened the larger blade. Mrs. Johns
supposed that Donesky intended only
to terrify her, and smiled incredulous-
ly. "I'll show you that mean what
l say!" Donesky exclaimed, stepping
back, and drawing the edge OF the
blade across his throat. The blood
spurted out. He drew theSdge again
over his throat, and fell to the side
walk. Mrs. Johns screamed, and,
nearly fainting, hurried homeward. An
ambulance was called and Donesky was
taken to the Prince street police sta
ton. To Capt. Mcdonnell DonesEy
said that he had cut his throat because
he had nothing to live for when Mrs.
Johns declined to marry him. Then he
lapsed into Inconsistencies, and was
taken to St. Vincent's hospital. He was
believed to bs dying on Thursday even

How IL EplIs to be Hanged.

One Mr.. McGee, down in Old Ken.
tuck, lately came near being hanged
by a vigilance committee for a murder
which he did not commit, the actual
murderer being member OF that extra
judicial body. He has given an elabor.
ate account Of the sensations which at
tend that method of dying. Being
jerked up by the rope, there was no pain
while he was ascending. lie then
could feel his eyes suddenly turn into
balls of fire, and to protrude from their
sockets his muscles refused to respond
to his will his joints felt as if pierced
by red hot needles his knees twitched
and jerked convulsively. Then came
delicious sensation of cool numbness
which began at the extremitirs aud
gradually stole over him. He lost all
desire to save himself-in fact, prefer
red to die then and there.
Almost every act of his life recurred
to his memory. He heard distant
roar, as of far-away cataract; it be-
came louder; and finally almost desfsn-
ing; then it changed into the most de-
licious music; everything was as light
as midday; then followed unconscious
ness-not absolute Inconsistencies
either; he was himself and not himself;
he seemed to be- sailing through space
as a bird seems to float without moving
a wing. THE silence was TERRIBLE
Great bodily pain then ensued and
when he came to himself he found the
rope broken and his executioners dis
pu lug as to whether he should be
strung up again or carried to Jail. The
merciful plan prevailed; he was locked
up for three days; then he was re-
leased, the real murderer taking his
place.

The Inconsistency Of Newspapers.

The IncOnsistency Of Newspapers.
! For the Republican.
MEssRs. EDIToRs: Some newspapers
are remarkable institutions and of
this class would name the "Times,"
of Philadelphia, az being second only
to Mr.. Bayard's organ, the " Every
Evening"" The "Times" has done
much criticising, giving lengthy opin.
ions on the causes 6 hard times, and
the remedy. 1t felt for the Greenback
party a year or more since, but not
finding it, now swears that there never
was such party. The "Times" has
received many "puffs," which it prop
erly publishes, The following is a
specimen:
the SOUND CREED OF 1.-THE TIMES"
It is not hard to see from Col. McClure's
utterances in the columns OF the ''Ilmes'
and on the rOs,Tum that he had his early
training In a community Of intelligent or
thodox Presbyterians, because, on most ques.
tions connected with morals, his creed is ''as
sound as a dollar" In last Thursdays
issue OF the Grimes" there IL an editorial
under the caption of Lotteries and Stool
Pigeons" whlc'r we heartily lndorse and
commend to the careful consideration OF
such Of our readers as may be prone to dream
about and wish to get rich suddenly and
without labor. -GreenSburg Tribune.
In the same issue of the 18th | clip
the following as one among several of
the kind:
c1n TO $1,000 INVESTED IN WALL
DlO Street Stocks makes fortunes every
month. Book seat free explaining every
hing, &c, &c.
The "rimes," like many other pa
pers, has taken much interest in watch
ing for the "good tines which it de-
clares has now come for certain, and
daily enumerates the rolling mills, fur
naces and smoke houses that emit
smoke or smell, to prove something
which needed proof, and yet only
proves that the wish is father to the
thought. The "Times' sent areporter
to the coal region to learn the cause of
distress. He reported that there were
too many men for the work, and that
they should Ego west" and that set
tied the case. Now it does seem
strange that the "Times" has not sent
q reporter to New York to learn and
then explain how the readers can
make fortune every month by invest
ing SO (?) If the "Times' was half
as much Interested for the poor man as
it pretends to be it would publish the
book which explains everything. AS
the "E f." advertises the same for
tune giving firms, it can throw the
"Tilnes" into its editorial hopper as
usual, and the explanation will come
out with the grist. ABLE.

The Worlds Child MAGAZINE,

John Greenleaf Whittier, the most
child-hearted as he is among the fore
most of American authors, writes of
st. Nicholas: cit is little to say of this
magazine that it is the child's periodical
in the world" Prof Proctor, the as
tronomer, wrote from London: "What
q wonderful magazine it Is for young
folks, and ours are quite as much de-
lighted with it as American children can
be % That it is calculated to delight
the little folk everywhere is indicated by
the fact that it is to be issued in French
by Delagrave of Paris and that even the
far away little Moslems are now to have
a volume made up of TRANSACTIONS from
St. Nicholas into Arabic by the Rev. FL.
81. Jessup.
Beginning with the November number
| (ready Oct. 25th) the magazine is to be
printed on heavier paper with wider
margins, and is to be so much enlarged
that the new volume will contain nearly
two hundred more pages than any for
mer volume, while the price will remain
the same. The publishers announce
many brilliant novelties, including a new
serial by Miss Louisa II. Alcott, entitled
slack and JILL" 1.-The Treasure-box of
| English Literature" in which will be
given gems from standard English and
American authors; and Acting Play for
Sunday schools, by Rev. Edward Eggle-
ston, which viii be printed in time for
the holidays, with full directions for its
representation in school exhibitions; and
beautiful fairy Operetta for children
entitled ''The Sleeping Beauty in the
Woods"
The November number has two beau
tiful frontispieces and red line title
page, and contains over sixty illustra
tons. In it, begins new serial story
for boys, among the Lakes" by the
author of 'Dab Kinzer."
Another splendid serial for boys has
been secured for this volume, -"Th'
3 Fairport Nine" a story of base bal
club, by Noah Brooks. In short, st
Nicholas, which has no rival on eithe
continent, is to be better than ever.

The Sunday Telegraph is violent in
its opposition to biennial sessions of the
legislature and cites the example of
states which tried the experiment and
found it conspicuous failure. Still the
people are sovereign, and will not be
convinced that biennial sessions are not
preferable to. annual sessions. The
length of the sessions in majority of
the states referred to by the Telegraph
was owing mainly to the legislators re-
ceiving per diem instead of fixed sal
airy. 1t is difficult to understand why
rascality and corruption should not null
tiplY with opportuEityes,, 10 a .uuu pa
per, one which no newspaper reader will
be without if he gets acquainted with it.
But the Telegraph assumes too trucu-
lent tone when it speaks of Wisconsin
papers being "idiotic" for reading it out
of the democratic party for utterances
derogatory to that party. We are not
aware that democratic papers tried to
read the Telegraph out Of any party be-
cause the Telegraph does not claim to
belong to any party. 1t claims to be
independent but every republican jour
nal in the country can make the same
claim with equal propriety.
