P. M, when the guests were called to
the dining room, where they found q
table loaded with good things, to

The election having passed and the
result being satisfactory, at least to the
Republicans, we think it not worth
while to continue discussion of local po-
litical questions further. II the can
vass has assumed more of q personal
character than has been agreeable, the
Democracy have themselves to thank
for it, since the managers Of that party
first opened up on that line, it having
been the settled policy Of the Republi
cans not to resort to such methods un-
less in self defence. II, however. Mr..
Wadsworth should think it Is due him
to be allowed q chance to reply, We
shall feel obliged to give him space in
our next issue, aud that must certainly
close the controversy for this campaign.
This, however, will not prevent our in

al nature. We have some very decided
opinions on these matters and shall
give no uncertain sound in treating Of
them, though we do not design to be
personal or necessarily offensive to those
of different faith.

Among the thousand victims of that
most disastrous adventure, the South Sea
scheme, there wits perhaps scarcely one
more to be piti.d than native of Leeds, of
the name of Thomas Hudson. In the early
part Of his life he filed respectable situa-
ton AZ Government clerk III London.
While in this situation he came into the
possession of q large fortune by the death
of an aunt he then retired into the coun-
try, where lie lived for some time very hap
lilly. until he unfortunately became an adj
renturer in the South Sea scheme, aud so
sanEuine was lie of its success that he en-
barkpd the whole of his fortune In it.
When the news reached him of the failure
of his darling scheme, he left his residence
ia u state of distraction. and went to Lon
don. From this moment he became in
sane, and Tom of Ten Thousand" as he
called himself wandered through the
streets, wrapped in rug, and leaning on n
crutch, and without either shoes or stock
Jugs. In this state did the poor creature
perlmbulate even in the coolest weather,
and crave assistance from the humane,
uutil death released him from all his trou-
bles at a very advanced age.

IGNORANCE OF BRAZILIAN wO-

Fanersl Henors 10 Bayard Taylor
The preparations for the funeral OF
Baysrd Taylor, in Nav York City, are
nearly completed, but meeting will BE-
held on Thursday to make final ar-
rangsmsnts. The singing will be done
by chorus Of 1000 voices. About
half that number met on Monday and
rehsarsed The Poets Dirge," by Carl
Sohm, which will be rendered in the
City Hall at the time Of the funeral.
The size Of the chorus will probably
compel Mr.. Harrison to have the dirgs
sung from the steps Of the City Hall,
because we're the chorus to BE- establish
ed in the Governors room, there would
bs no way OF admitting anybody else
to that apartment. The body Of Mr..
Taylor will lie in State in that room,
and full length portrait Of the late
Minister will be hung from the walls
until after the funeral. The Germans
are very much interested in doing hon.
or to the memory Of the late
Minister, for Mr.. Taylor was very
popular in club and literary circles, and
the funeral will certainly take on the
character ola public demonstration.
The arrival Of Mrs. Taylor and Miss
Taylor by the Herder is momentarily
expected. The remains Of Mr.. Taylor
are not due for q week yet. They will
come BY the Gellert.

Preeauiion Against the Plasue.


Dr.. Woodwork, surgson-gsnsrsl Of
the marine hospital ssrvics, has issued
a circular, approved by the President,
10 regard 10 vessels coming from ports
on the Black sea, SEA Of AzOrf, the Med.
itsrranean, or other places where they
are likely to be brought in contact with
persons or merchandise infected or cap.
able Of being infected with the plague.
The circular is in accordance with the
provisions Of the quarantine act Of April
20, 1878, and, after calling attention to
the existence Of the plague and its dan
gerous character, instructs officers Ofthe
customs, medical marine officers, and
quarantine officers generally, that until
further orders, no vessel from the ports
indicated, conveying any rags, feathers,
furs, skins, hair, boxed or Daled cloth
ing or bedding, or any similar articles
liable to convey infection, shall enter
no port Of the United States until the
articles have been removed and the yes
Sci thoroughly disinfected and ventila-
ted. The suspected articles also to he
disinfected or burned, as the surgeon
general may determine in each case.
In view of the Mennonite immigration
and the frequent importation of the ar
ticles named from the ports near the
infected districts, these regulations seem
to be highly proper, and should be
strictly enforced.

A Girl Ten Years Old BEATEN 10
Death and then II anged.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 6th.-A dis.
patch to the Courier journal from Lex.
ington, says gentleman arrived there
this evening bringing intelligence of a
horrible murder committed near Man
chester, Ky, about two weeks ago. A
girl, 10 years old, daughter OF a labor.
er named Martin Deaten, was taken to
an cut house by her step mother, who
there dealt her blow on the head
which fractured her skull. To finish
her work, the woman tied one end of .
rope around the girls neck and the
other to beam above, land then weight
ed the body sufficiently to break the
neck. She then took the body down
and placed it in field near by in
which a vicious horse was kept, and
sent word to her husband that his
daughter had been killed by the horse.
The suspicious of neighbors were
aroused, and = coronsr's jury was i'm
paneled to hold an inquest on the body
Of the girl. Numerous scars upon the
body showed how badly the girl had
been treated during her stay with her
step mother, and her broken neck show.
Cd plainly that the girl had not been
killed by a horse. The murdersss Is
now in Jail awaiting trial.

Those wishing to see a beautiful
piece Of pen workmanship should look
in the window Of c. F. Thomas Il Co.'S
book store, No. 42l Market street, and
no doubt they will agree with us in
saying it is the most complete piece
Of penmanship they have ever seen. 1t
consists of perfect drawing of the
front Of Rugby Academy on Market
street above Sth, with the name of the
institution in fancy letters around the
top, on each side of the building quill
pen is drawn. under which 3 piece Of
writing is beautifully executed. On the
bottom Of the sheet some perfect letter
ing incircled in wreaths and scroll
work is handsomely penned. The whole
affair is positive proof that Prof.
Pierce the executor OF the work under
stands the handling of the pen to per-
lection, and the students Of Rugby
Academy are fortunate to have him as
their teacher in penmanship.
