and was received with great honors.
Looking upon him as a representative

tunities for observation in foreign
countries, and particularly in China,
considered it my duty as a citizen to
visit him and to bid him welcome, in
behalf of the Workingmen, to our

WHY NOT OPEN OUT :


Fortified behind their Enclosures,
and in defiance of public opinion, the
Howard Association persist in work
ing with closed doors, and, because
this fact was put forth by the public
press, Mr. Langstaff at Chicago a
month ago, pronounced it all wick
ed lie, or something to that effect,
this too in the face of the fact that
Vice President Smith says the associa-
tion does hold private business meet
ings to which none but members are
admitted Since 1873 no reporters
have been present at their delibera-
tions, as far as heard. If there have
been. a little light on the subject
would be welcomed. The Howards
have been talked to repeatedly about
the wicked way they have Of working
under cover. They do not care, but
send forth their appeals to the world
at large, start their president forth on
a drumming tour and take in $4,000
or more for their own or the public
good, the public don't know whether
it is for one or both. If the
Howards have nothing to be ashamed
of, why not open their doors? And il
their doors are not closed, as Mr.
Langstaff is reported to have said, why
are not the proceedings of their meet.
ings printed the same as are those OIL
other public bodies? Gossip has been
rife regarding their motives and theil
acts, and it is still so. The Howards
need not fatter themselves that they
can make the world believe they arc
immaculate, whether they are or not
and that they can defy public opinion
Their motives have been impugned by
many good people, and, unless they
desire them to continue so, it would
be well for them to make few expla.

An Unfhrtunate Affair.

COLUMBUS, o., October THE
good people of Cardington, small
town northeast Of here, are stirred up
from center to circumference over a
case of scandal. Mrs. Elliott, the
wife of wealthy sawmill owner of
that town, is in an interesting condi-
tion caused by her alleged criminal
relations with negro named Gardner,
in her husbands employ. Her de-
bauchery, it is said, is of long
standing, and the crime committed
frequently. Gardner told his brother
workman, who subsequently informed
Elliott. Mrs. Elliot, previous to her
trouble, was looked upon as woman
of irreproachable character. Her
downfall is mourned by all. She is of
Quaker stock, and highly connected.

Wreck ora Spanish Brig.

MOBILE, October THE Spanish
brig Diligente was wrecked to-day
while coming over the lower bar in
charge of a pilot. The disaster seems
to have been the result of an attempt
to s. 90 about" with a strong head
wind. The pilot, Ned Dorgan, asked
the captain if his ship worked easy
and receiving an affirmative answer
the necessary maneuvers were made,
but she missed the stays and went
ashore stern foremost When the
captain saw the loss of the vessel was
inevitable he drew a revolver and fired
three shots at Dorgan, who immedi.
ately jumped overheard, followed by
the irate captain. A sailor also threw
himself into the bay to assist his su-
perior officer, but both were drowned
Dorgan and nine sailors swan ashore
safely.

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
The Terrible Details of the Explosion at
Philadelphia.

Special to Cincinnati Commercial.l
PHILADELPHIA, October 7.-Robt.
Parrish, jr., member of the Phiadel-
phia bar, was committed to prison to-
day, bail being refused, to await the
action Of the grand jury on the charge
of inventing and arranging the infer
nal machine which exploded yesterday
in the law office of John Shallcross,
manning for life one of the clerks,
VIM. ODonnell, who happened, for
tunately, to be the only one in the
room at the time of the accident. The
detectives detailed to work up the
case made thorough examination of
the premises to-day for the first time.
Tie inventive genius of Parrish is
simply diabOlical. He explained in
court to-day that his safe, containing
many valuable papers, was robbed
some time ago, the key being taken
from the drawer in which the Internal
machine was subsequently arranged.
Alter the robbery he replaced the KEY
in the same drawer, and constructed
this machine, which would explode il
the drawer of his desk was opened
more than five inches. In this way he
said the drawer could be used for his
own purposes, but was proof against
meddlesome hands. The diabolical
contrivance was so devised that the
opening of the drawer would, by scrap
ing emery paper over match heads.

nipples of three horse pistols charged
to the muzzle, and pointed toward the
front Of the table so as to insure their
discharge into the body of any one
having the temerity to open the
drawer.
CLERK 0'DOnnell was seated by the
table yesterday, and opened the drawer
to procure book he was reading. Tht
machine went off, blowing off the en-
tire forearm of the left hand and fin
gers of the right. Several wounds
were also received in the body, anC
the sufferer now lies in a condition
that gives little hope of recovery.
The hall across from the Office j
occupied by half dozen young law
yers, all of whom, singularly enough
were absent at the time. The ravagei
caused by the explosion are almos
marvellous. A whole drawer and tn,
end of the table are blown into splint
ers. One of the pistols exploded from
heavy charge, and shot from an
other one passed through the back 0

Mr. Bennett's Arctic Expedition

New York Herald, lst.l
The news from the Jeanette which
we published yesterday, removes
agreeably some apprehension that
there had been such loss of time in
her start as might ultimately interfere
with her chance to make good pro-
gress this year. We were afraid that
the delay due to the failure to get a
supply of coal at q far northern port
in ample time to await her there if she
had started many days earlier than
she did, might deprive. her of the
opportunity TO make the most of an
open season. But we are glad to
know that her advance has been such
as to give her the full benefit of the
favorable season that the whalers re-

latitude this year, and thus secure a
good position from which to operate
early next year with sledge expedi.
tiOns. Should Captain De Long place
his ship in high latitude this sum

will be able next year to utilize the
sledge expeditions, for which he has
made ample preparation, to an extent
to which they have never before been
utilized in the history Of Arctic dis
covery,

Prairie fires are doing considerable

ties and a bridge at Crystal Springs
were destroyed. Trains have been
badly delayed. The telegraph opera

Gen. Grant and NlcnraCun CnnnI.

WASHINGTON, October I'm a
private letter to friend in this city,
received here to-day, General Grant
says that he thinks it likely he may
not reach Chicago before the latter
part of November, and does not ex-
pect to be in Washington until about
the Christmas holidays, unless some
thing in connection with the inter
oceanic canal question should call
him here sooner. The letter is main
ly devoted to the canal question, and
shows that the general is in earnest in
his determination to do everything
within his power to further this great
work. The projectors of the canal
scheme have taken hold Of the mat
ter earnestly, and are doing all that is
possible to effect the proper organiza-
ton for the purpose Of securing from
the government of Nicaragua the
necessary concessions to inaugurate
the work.

Mr.. LANGsTAFF stated in Chicago
that the Memphis press were wick
ed liars when they stated that re
porters were not admitted to the
Howard meetings. Mr.. Langstaff
must rise and explain Avalanche.
Mr.. LANGsTAFF must step down
and out. Mr.. Langstaff is the presi-
dent of the Howard Association.
But the Howard Association cannot
carry Mr.. Langstaff.-[ Avalanche.
We fully agree with the Avalanche
in the above; they are our sentiments
to a dot. Unless Mr.. Langstaff can
deny positively having made such a
speech, he should, for the good of the
Howards, resign Immediately. The
reporters have told the truth. Mr.
Langstaff knows that reporters are not
admitted to Howard meetings.

The Cantured HnIn.

Cetywayo behaved like a king in his
downfall. Lord Clifford with his
white cavalry and natives, got within
four miles of the kraal where the Zulu
king was at daybreak and there lay in
ambush, fearing to advance across the
open ground, and waiting for the night
to make the attack lest the king should
see them and escape into the bush,
which borders the kraal within 100
yards on the north side. Lord Clifford
was on the southeast side. In the
meantime Major Marter, with the
queens dragoon guards, appeared on
the northeast and was seen by the
king, but he was not feared, the king
thinking the cavalry in the back
ground could not approach quietly
or without warning. Major Marter
however, had stripped the saddles and
left the spabbards behind, Disap-
pearing from view he stole up noise
lessly through the bush. The native
contingent, whom he had concealed,
were put In advance, and they were
able to move more rapidly than the
horses. These men dashed out of the
b.ush and surrounded the kraal, say
ing, "The white man is coming: YOU
are caught" Major Marter then rode
up and dismounted, entered the kraal,
and coming straight TO the hut In
which the king was called on him to
come forth and surrender. The king
feared and said, mo, you come unto
me- but Marter was inHexible, and
the king, creeping out, stood up
among the dragons with stately
comppslTe, A dragon sought
to lay his hands upon him,
but he waved the man back disdain-
fully, saying, White soldier, let me
be-" He then asked to be shot. The
kings bearing on tho march between
the lines Of the Sixtieth regiment
into his tent in the camp at Ulundi
was digni6ed and calm. Wearing q
red blanket upon his breast in the
panper of a Roman loga, he stepped
slowly, looking round with head
thrown back and naughty gaze at the
soldiers around him, When captured
he asked the rank of the officer who
had taken him. He treated the ma.
tive contingent contemptuously.
