IT is hardly necessary" remarks that
veteran Democratic Greenback Ohio man

natl Enquirer, to say that the Ohio Demo-
Gratis will hencelorth look to S. JONES

ungrOcious thing to make the remark at
ALLENGEE's funeral. Mr.. MCLEAN might
have waited few days until the tears of

been folded up and laid away with the late

A FEW days ago the Democratic organ
rose on its alleged hind-legs, to remark in
effect that the scalping of Father MEEKER
was theoretically if not practically justitia-
bic and added that it was time for u
scalp to be taken. Since then, under the
pressure of widespread and civilized regret
over this murder of n good man, man of
good intentions, to say the least, and an
honest man, the organ has changed its tone,
abandoned its 1ippant manner OF comment
and treated the subject with attempted Sc
riousness. But the effect or influence of its
first impulsiye and Characteristic utterance
has not been forgotten, nor will it soon be
forgiven. 1t was of piece, however, with
its justification of the murder of Yazoo
DIXON and of its general instability and
reckless policy in treating of public affairs.

A Terrible Suicide.

The F1ankfurter Zeita17eq reports an
appalling case of suicide which occurred
at Edmodlam, and which recalls in its
features ancient tragedy. A farmer
named Hoffnger had two sons. The
elder fell in love with the servant-maid,
but had to join his regiment as a sold
Ter and serve his three years with the
colors. On his return home he dis
covered that his brother had supplanted
him in the affections of the maid.
He conjured her to allow old relations
to be re-established, but she refused.
He threatened to commit suicide, but
she laughed at him. Some days later
she went so far as to taunt him with
cowardice, declaring she did not believe
he could muster courage enough to
drown himself in the neighboring lake.
He answered that he would not drown
himself, but would take away his life in a
manner which would make her hair stand
on end. One morning while his parents
and sisters were at church, he took a
young horse from the stable, fastened a
rope securely to him, and bound the
end OF the rope around his own body.
He then put lighted slow match into
the ear Of the poor animal, which
naturally started off, and mad with pain
dragged the unfortunate Hoffinger after
him in all directions, finally plunging
into the Seekirchner lake. Later in
the day the two bodies were found in
the lake still fastened together. Rof-
inger's was SO fearfully shattered and
mutilated as to be quite beyond recog-
ritinn

The Origin Of Coal.

The received opinion that vein of
coal simply represents a mass of vege-
tation, which has been changed directly
into that substance, is opposed by NJ.
Frenzy. Some time ago he adopted q
synthetic measure to discover the real
secret Of the manner in which coal was
produced, and his experiments appear
to show chat while fiber could not be
converted into anything resembling
coal, certain substances of vegetable or
igin, such as sugar, starch, gum, vascu-
Lose, etc., did admit of that conversion.
An artificial coal made of these latter
materials yielded tar, gas, water and
coke, just like ordinary pit coal. Gum,
inclosed with water in sealed tube,
and subjected to heat, was changed into
a coal containing IS per cent. of carbon,
5 per cent. of hydrogen, and Is per cent
of oxygen. His conclusions are that
coal is not the direct result of vegetable
substances; that the impressions of
plants sometimes found in it have been
produced after the modification was es-
tablished, and that there are two stages
in its fermentation of peat. and the sec
ond of the transformation of alinic acid
into mineral fuel, under the joint &C.
ton OF heat and pressure.

A Stone H0uSe.

We suppose it is known to but a few
that there is, in the extreme north
western part of Bristol county, in the
town of Eaton, phenomenon Of nature,
known as the "Rock House Cave" or
"Lover's Retreat" but such is the fact.
The whole house, complete on three
sides, is formed by only three large
rocks. The size of this room is about
eleven feet square. Its even]y-cut
sides, wholly by natures hand, are
pleasing to the eye, but the most strik-
ing feature of all is the back rock, which
forms the roof, by it's overhanging
front, not unlike an old-fashioned
chaise-top. Our better half was with
us on this visit, and, in passing round
the outside of the house, saw string
hanging from the top of the overhang-
ing rock which forms the roof; she gave
it gentle pull, and 10, and behold MIR.
Tree-toad held the other end of the
string in his mouth, and allowed him
self to be drawn several feet before he
let go. During the time as he passed
over the moss with which the rock is
partially covered, he changed his colors,
q la chameleon, giving us, on small
scale, a beautiful exhibition. This
rock house is situated near the old
muster-feld, and the locality is known
as Dailey's Hill," and is well worthy
OF visit.-Fol RiUer (Mass.) Ne1vs.

How He Convinced Them.

Ex-Gov. J. W. Throckmorton GER
tainly understands all the arts OF an
old Texan. In his speech defending
Ed. Bomar, at Gainesville, after having
spoken about an hour, he said:
Gentlemen of the jury, it is said by
the prosecution that because the de-
ceased was in his shirt-sleeves when
killed.. he had no pistol"
Here MIR. Tbrockmorton pulled off his
coat and stood before the jury in his
shirt-sleeves.
"You would say continued Mr..
Throckmorton, that am not armed
because 1 am in my shirtsleeves.
Look! do you see my arms ?" cried he,
holding up his hands. .
No signs of arms could be seen.
Mr.. Throckmorton then drew pis-
tol from under his left arm, another
from under his right, one from each
boot, and huge bowie-knife from the
back OF his neck, placing them upon the
table.
q You see, gentlemen, though in my
shirt-sleeves, I could be we'll armed"
This was a clincher and it carried
the point, entirely destroying the argu-
ment of theprosecution.- Dallas (Ter.)

Birds of Paradise.

The birds Of paradise unite all the
modes of commentator in the highest
degree, with the most harmonious re-
suits. They join the graceful plumes
OF the ostrich to the dainty coloring of
the sun bird. Crests almost as largely
developed as that of the umbrella bird
overshadow their beautiful heads; frills
as full as those of the humming birds
fall down in metallic splendor before
their gorgeous necks And if any proofs
be wanting Of the connection between
the nature of the food and the beauti-
full plumage, it may be found in the fact
that these royally-attired creatures are
first cousins of our own dingy crows
and jackdaws; but, while the crow seeks
his livelihood among the insects and
carrion of an English plowed field, the
bird of paradise regales his lordly pal
ate on the crimson and purple fruits
which CLEAN out amid the empowering
foliage OF the Malayan forests.-The

GThat's Johns Gun!''

At the battle of Blue Licks, in 1882
the Kentuckians were defeated, with
great slaughter, by the Indians. Among
their captives was citizen of Mercer
county, husband and father. He and
eleven others were painted black, sign
that they were devoted to torture and
death. Ranging them in a row on a
log, the Indians slaughtered the eleven
one by one. When they came to the
husband they paused, and, after a great
pow-wow, spared his life.
For year be remained captive,
mourned by his friends as dead. But
his wife insisted that he was alive and
would yet return to her. A lover wooed
her. Her relatives aided his wooing.
She consented to marry him, but from
time to time postponed the wedding
day. She could not, she said, rid her
self of the belief that her husband was
living and would yet return.
At last, the pleadings of her lover and
the expostulations of her friends won
from her reluctant consent to be mar
RED on certain day. On it's morning,
just before daylight, she heard the
crack of rife.
"That's Johns gun!" she cried: and,
running from her cabin, in a moment
was clasped in her husbands arms. But
the romance did not end with the hus-
bands return. Nine years after he fell
In "St. Clair's defeat" The disappoint-
ed lover renewed his suit. and the widow,
at last, became his wife.
