THE FATE OF THE MEEKERs.

We learn from the last Denver Tribune
that Mr.. RALPH MEEKER, the eldest son of
Agent MEEKER, had arrived in that city on
the 10th instant, after some delays by the
storm. He has been appointed by the Gov
ernment a special agent for the recovery of
the body of his dead father and his captive
mother and sister, who, if living, are held
as hostages by the Indians. He has two
sisters at Greeley, who he will visit before
he Joins General ADAMS in the Ute country.
In speaking of the fate of the MEEK ERs
who are in captivity, the Tribune says;
The fate of the MEEKERs has been tho all.
absorbing theme for the past fortnight, The
strange silence regarding frontier affairs for
the last two days deepGns the concern felt
everywhere for their safety. 1t is, therefore,
fitting that some Of the reasons for thinking

Tribune.

thing of the chiyary of the white soldier, and
will not keep these ladies prisoners when by
so doing they fire the soldier heart with zeal
akin to that Of the historic crusaders the In
dians know they would fight like demons to
rescue these women.
Yet they dare not turn them over to the sol.
diers under MERRITT, for the recital of their
wrongs would inflame the whites to almost an
equal extent with their continued captivity.
Hence, If they are TO be surrendered, IL must
be done through roundabout way, lest the
s,ldiery meet them and precipitate tho most
bloody fight ever witnessed in the mountains

THERE is settled current in political af-
fairs which runs in the direction of GRANT
and BLAINE for 1880. If something doesn't
happen to change the drift, Illinois aud
Maine will be on top again as they were in

HAMLGN were triumphantly elected despite
the auguries of rebellion, which were then

IT turns out that Brother-in-law MoUL-
TON and others of Secretary SHERNtAN's
friends are more anxious that he should
become q Presidential candidate next year
than he is himself He is probably content
to let well enough alone now, however
much he may have been tempted n few
months ago by the promptings of a natural
and commendable ambition to soar above
the Senate and the Cabinet. But his Impair
tial, unselflsh and unpreiudiced friends, his

THE utter lack of principle and integrity
of devotion to fixed theories or practices in
the Democratic party was never more
thoroughly illustrated than in the recent
explanations of the Democratic defeat in
Ohio by Mr. SPRINGER, of Illinois. Being
asked the question, Haven't the Demo-
"cratic leaders made great mistake in
"leaning toward the Greenback idea ?" he
replied, No, sir; we had to do it TO save
our party In other words, he admits
that the traditional convictions or prnci-
plies of the Democratic party us represented
by the Maryland Democracy, for example,
have been ignored in the West during the
Ahard times of the past two or three years, -
for the purpose, as he ayows it, Of concil-
laling " the solt-mOney sentiment" This
admission, vicariously made by leading
modern Bourbon, will not be accepted by
the intelligent reader as anything less than
an acknowledgement that the Democratic
party of to-day is comprised of trucking
recreants traitors TO its former principles,
and repudiators of the statesmanlilSe teach
ings Of JEFFERSON, JACKSON aud other
boasted founders or disciples Of Democracy.

SENATOR DAVID DAVIS is reported to
have said that if EWING were defeated
GRANT would surely be elected next year,
and being elected would never leave the
White House alive. If the fragile d. d.
ever did make this weiGhty prediction he
was doubtless provoked to its utterance by
the Ito him appalling certainty that he
will himself never leave the White House
dead or alive, except in the capacity of n
visitor. 1t is noteworthy fact, however,
that the most flightful visions of dicta-
torship under GRANT invariably occur to
men who seek the nomination next year for
themselves.

AN augurial inspiration incites us to the
prophecy that Alabama, Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware
Florida, Georgia and all of the alphabcti-
cally earlier States on the roll-call in the
next National Republican convention will
vote solidly for General GRANT. When the
Ms are reached, so to speak, there may be
u break for some other mana feeble break
but the call Of the Ms will be responded to
by an increase of votes for the silent man.
Then, after New York shall have cast
her 1876 votes for him, and North Carolina
has followed with her twenty votes, Ohio
will be impelled to add her forty-four votes
in the rush to make the nomination by ac-
clamation on the first ballot, exactly as he
was nominated in Chicago in 1868 and at
Philadelphia in 1872. After this, will he
decline the nomination?

of this mistaken policy was the disbandment
Of ofatorch-lightcompa at Lowell last week

A Dastardly Lover.

Young ladies who think proper to cor
respond with rejected lovers would per-
haps do well to take hint from the fol-
lowing curious case, which is, however,
authentic. Mile. Felicie Maxy, who
lives on the farm of Pentecote, on the
Belgian frontier of France was on the
point of being married, when she received
letter from an old snitor asking her ito
reconsider the matter, and send him an
immediate reply. A postage stamp was
calamity inclosed to defray the cost If
transmission. The answer duly written.
Mile. Maxy applied the stamp to her
fair lips; but hardly had she done so
when she felt sharp pain in her tongue,
and in less than no time that interesting
member became horribly elongated and
inhamed and covered with noisome sores.
The diaconsolate one, Alfred Camin by
name, a farmer at Pichon, in the Nord,
has been arrested, but he declares that
he used no noxious drugs, but simply
moistened corner of the stamp with his
own lips-a delicate way Of stealing 8
kiss. Such is the state of the case as il
stands at present, but the tale carries it
| own moral.

The O'Bannon Idyl.

Pressly OBannon was promising
young lawyer of Leavenworth; Ind,
several years ago, with wife and two
children. He had many virtues and
one vice-a gnaWing appetite for liquor.
One day he started to attend 8 meeting
five miles from home, but getting drunk
he wandered down to the river, got on
board q steamer, and when he next came
to himself, a week afterward, he was
saving wood for a farmer in Illinois
He then determined that as he had dis
graced himself, his wife and children,
he would never return home; and 90
settling down at Vienna, in Illinois, be
began the practice of his profession
under the name of Brown, abandoned
the intoxicating bowl, became promi.
nent member of the bar and finally
Judge of the county court. The man
was base aud weak enough to assume
relations with female who passed as
Mrs. Judge Brown. Finally prisoner
brought before him discovered the miss
ing Leavenworth lawyer In the person OF
Brown, the judge, and informed Mrs.
O'Bsnnon of the whereabouts of her
husband. Great was the rejoicing in
the family; although on the day the
news came the wife, who had long be-
lieved herself to be a widow, was to
have received $4,000 from policy o.
insurance upon her husbands life, he
having been given up for dead. The
father of Mrs. O'Bannon went to vi
emma and brought the long lost wan
dexer home. The wife received hin
with open arms, all was joy in tn
household, until O'Bannon or Brow
told the Mrs. Judge Brown part OF tn
story, when she fed from his presence a
she would from a pestilence. That
| the straw which broke the woman's back
and to-day she is suing for divorce.

A Garrison Romance.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


The suicide of Lieutenant nj. Carrow,
of the Seventh cavalry, at the Planters
house, yesterday afternoon, was tele'
graphed yesterday in its main details,
but the mystery surrounding the affair
was cleared up somewhat to-day by the
finding among his personal effects of u
letter written to Ella Sturgis, daughter
OF Lieutenant~C Colonel sturgis, OF the
United States cavalry, and sister to
Captain Jack sturgis, who lost his life
with General Custer at the time OF the
famous massacre Miss Sturgis had met
Carrow at Fort Lincoln, where she and
the young lieutenant became very
friendly. The general thinking his
| daughter and the young lieutenant were
becoming too devoted to each other,
removed her to St. Louis, hoping in this
way to break up a friendship which he
deemed unwise. CarroW's pride was
stung, and after nursing his sfliction fol
months, he resolved to come to st. Loui.
and settle the momentpusl question
| Six weeks ago he arrived there, and al
once plunged into all the destinations o

of wealthy resident. He was to lead
in the evening with the young lady he
SO passionately loved. He told friend
of this before the evening arrived, and
seemed delighted at the thought of see"
ing Miss Sturgis. He further stated
that his prospects were never fairer, and
that he believed he was going to be suc~
cessful. The next day he met the same
friend and said that he fattered himself
that the long aud anxiously discussed
question had been decided in his favor.
Just week after the event above men-
toned Carrow told the same friend that
he was going to make final charge, and
" if ] am repulsed," said he, "Tll give
up the struggle" The charge was made.
It was neither a defeat nor victory
Ella answered Wait few days and I
will write you letter." 1t is supposed
by those who knew the young officer
intimately that he received the fatal
letter yesterday. 1t was the final and
unfavorable answer. The result is well
known, ard the mystery is lifted.

Lying Women.

Baron Huddleston, an. eminent English
Judge, recently took occasion to say from
the bench that it was an undoubted fact
that woman told lie very much better
than did man, and with very much
better effect. 1t was a remarkable cir
cumstance that when a woman was
determined to say what was untrue she
said it in 9. much better manner than a
man. Whether this was due to a man
feeling that his dignity was to q certain
extent offended by recourse to untruth
he did not know that was metaphys.
ieal question into which he would not
enter but it was certain that a woman
told q story much more logically. and
if it was untrue, held to it much more
pertinaciously, and with much more the
appearance of truth, than a man could
