We need not follow in this connection
the physical evidences produced by this
newspaper speculator in support Of his
pet theories. He invades in his hot
pursuit for damning proof against his
theoretic victim the sanctity of his home.
Parades with relentless hands the sup

and wife. Leads his readers up to the
point where accommodating bitterness
bursts its bonds, and the Infatuated hus-

the public mind against DR.. Hull to have

THE MEDFORD WATERS CASE.

As will be seen in another column,
Judge Stump sentenced this unfortunate
boy to the gallowS, on Monday. As the
Judge truly remarked, it was a painful
duty. If ever in the history of the Grim
inal jurisprudence of Maryland, there
was case pleading trumpet-tongued for
executive clemency, this is the case. We
shall very soon take occasion to say at
length why we think so.

SENATOR GROOME.

The Baltimore -imerican will never for
give the Senator for his opposition to
Stockett Mathews. Notice. this sly piece
of sarcasm:
Among the duties that custom imposes
upon new senators is their occupancy of
the chair during the reading of long and
dreary speeches. All that the presiding
officer has to do on these solemn occasions
is to keep awake. look pretty and see that
the pages don't snore loud enough to dis
turb the speaker. Senator Groome, who
was called to the chair on Tuesday during
the delivery of Senator Slater $ two hours

SOLEMN TIMES.

From The Ne,r CLEANS Democrat (Dem.)
There can be 10 question but that the
position of the Democratic party in Con
gress at this time is most critical one,
and that nothing else than the wisest
counsel, the greatest civil courage and the
most perfect unity of action can rescue it
from fatal disaster. Whatever course the
Democratic caucus may deternille"upon
must secure the operation of every
member~of the party in order to insure
its success and avert the most disastrous
and diSgraceful failure.

WEsToN'S quickest mile was his o36th,
made in seven minutes and thirty-seven
seconds. That this should have been done
on the sixth day of the walk i'll the after
noon. when he had been going pretty
steadily ever since early morning, is moth
ING short of wonderful. His tremendous
endurance and his remarkable pluck.
which carried him over $50 miles i'll less
than six days, is a theme of speculation
among medical men, and astounds them
more than others. because they know
more about the physical conditions of
such feat. But the way he spun around
the track on that 536th mile sent up Il
cheer from the assembled multitudes that
is echoed on this side the Atlantic. That
was a feat which every body recognizes as
marvellous The man seemed to be a
splendid machine made of the best steel
not bones and muscles.

THE barbarity of frontier mining towns
Is illustrated by the shooting of Jacob
Grier, at Leadville, Colorado, a week ago
to-day. He is the man who some time
ago rescued little girl from death by
crawling out on the cowcatcher of the en-
CINE on which he was employed, and re-
ceiving her i'll his arms as she was OH the
track Of an approaching train of a Penn
sylyania railroad. Such brave fellow
is likely to become popular anywhere he
may go, and Leadville is greatly excited
at his murder, although Richie. who
shot him, claims that he acted in self-de-
fence. 1t is said that barbarous deeds of
violence are arousing powerful public
sentiment against crime in Leadvile.
Then why does not Leadville vigorously
punish its outlaws?

IT is misfortune that some of the
most important manufacturing cities are
as famous for smoke and dust as for their
factories. Pittsburgh, for example, is
known everywhere as the Iron City, but
its grimy buildings and smoky atmosphere
come to mind whenever its chief industry
is mentioned \ residence in Pittsburgh
has been considered undesirable on ac-
count of the coal dust which blackens the
buildings, the air, and almost the com
plexion of the people themselves. 1t is
natural that much interest should be felt
in that city. i'll plan to wash the smoke
ofthc manufactures and make Pittsburgh
clean. The plan which is being tried is
described as follows: The washing is
done by passing the smoke through the
spray caused by paddlewheels revolving
in a tank of water holding soda ash i'll so
luton. The tank and wheels are placed
in the tlue. between the furnace and the
chimney. and. the wheels being made to
revolve in the direction of the chimney.

An Iowa man threatens to put a stop to
silver mining by a process for the cheap
manufacture OF that metal. The %nnounce
ment of this fact, made by New York news
papers, does not seem to have had any
appreciable effect on the mining share
market. Mr.. A. 7. Hay, Of New York, the
inventor Of the Hay steel, and a celebrated
metallurgist, gives the following opinion
on the new process
! have thought for years that gold and
silver are not, as universally supposed, ele-
mentary substance. / do not think they
are divisible, but they are products of
other substances. Gold and silver belong
to a family group Of metals and m%etalloids,
and they may be the products Of two or
more of the several substances comprising
that group. 1t is my opinion that there is
no such thing in nature as a single ele-
ment. All indivisible or non-oxidizing
substances are the product of two or more
analogous substances. just as in the ami
NAL kingdom there are two sexes, so in the
mineral kingdom there is a like dual ma
ture, and in every instance it requires two
factors OF the same genus to produce a
third. Nearly all the scientists of to-day
are trying to reduce everything to one ele-
ment. That is why they often fail in re-
suits. They are cropping in the dark be-
cause they do not take cognizance Of this
dual nature Of every created thing. II
takes hydrogen and oxygen to support
combustion, and yet in former ages both
water and fire were considered simple ele-
ments. II this dual law obtains in those
supposed elements, who shall say il does
not obtain in the precious metals, and, in
deed. In all known substances?
