That q remedy made of such common,

many and such marvellous and wonder

CAMP FATHER MATHEW.
A Visit There Yesterday.


The time is neal at hand when the
present population Of Camp Father
Mathew, some 200 in number, will
strike tents and evacuate their cosy
quarters for their homes in the city.
They have nought to complain of
regarding their home in the woods,
except that of unfair treatment atsthe
hands Of certain officials, whose arbi-
trary and unreasonable temper has to
some extent e~ngendered feelings of
indignation. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that this will all wear off in
good time and that cordial greetings
will follow between all concerned as
soon as this fever trouble is over. In
mis- administration of affairs at Camp
Mathew Father Walsh has won golden
opinions and ranks high in the esti-
nation of every man in the camp.
His genial manners, his untiring in
dustry, his watchful care and his
desire to contribute to the health,
comfort and happiness of those who
placed themselves under his care, has
given him a warm place in the heart
of eyerydenizen at Camp Mathew. The
father had never seen a military
camp in his life, yet he succeeded in
laying off the grounds of Camp
Mathew and locating its tents and its
needed appurtenances in a mos ad-
mirable manner. The whole pect
has a real military shading, and a
casual visitor would hardly realize
that it was not planned and erected
under the direction of a genuine topo-
graphical engineer. The spring in
Camp Mathew is one of the finest in
this portion CT the country, and to
protect it from inundation as we'll as
to improTe its condition, Father
Walsh has had it walled up and
boarded seven feet above its level, so
that depth of pure, clear water is
at all times ready for the use of the
people of the camp. The happy PEG
pie in this beautiful rural location
scattered over the sward, beneath the
outrageous forest trees, with their
comfortable tents and brush built
cabins dotting the landscape, present.
ed during a visit made there yesterday
a picturesque and exceedingly utter
esting and enlivening scene. The fine
health enjoyed by the campers during
the past three months attests to the
wisdom and good management of the
worthy father in charge and those who
so ably aided him.

more and commence falling in a few
days as the signal service reports say
the river was stationary at that point

DEAD SHOT.
Laying a Chicken Stsaler Out In a Very
Becoming Manner.

A darky with a dark reputation,
named Green Smith, was killed near
8 o'clock this morning at his home, on
Georgia street, by police officer T. d.
jackson, colored. The dead man
stole a neighbours chicken and the
neighbor got out a warrant for his ar
rest. Officer jackson undertook to
execute the command and found his
man, also the lost chicken. The
%purloiner then tried to compromise
with the party who lost the poultry,
but could not arrange terms. Then
he asked permission to enter his
house to get some needed garment be-
fore going to prison. Once in the
house he showed fight, gathered a
brick and tried to strike the officer.
The latter warded the blow and had
his hand SCARED in the effort. After
that Green picked up a bowie knife
and endeavored to kill the officer.
The contest now became interesting
and jackson deemed it necessary to
act rapidly. He did it by shooting
Green through the head, the ball en-
tering at the temple, and he fell dead
in his tracks. The jury Of inquest ex-
onerated officer Jackson from all
blame and pronounced it a case of self
defense. The brick and the knife are
now at the station house. Green
Smith ranked as a very bad man. His
wife has been gathering cotton for a
living while he was prowling about
among hen roostS.

BRILLIANT DEMOCRATIC VIC
TORY.

The election OF Democratic Mayor
in the Republican stronghold OF the
city Of Chicago is the most suggestive
Rplitical conquest Of the season. In
view Of the iact that this victory has
been achieved with all the city patron
are i'm the hands of the Republicans;
with the press Of city almost exclusive
IL Of Republican anteccdents; and with
a Republican candidate who was pOpu-
lar with AMI carried the full strength Of
his party, there is no single fact to de
tract from the completeness OF the con-
quest. In the language OF an exchange,
il shows conclusiyely that "new and
dangerous rebellion" has broken ont in
the Northwest.
There is no city in the United States
where the Republican party Las domi-
mated with such UNMARRIED and assumed
power and supremacy for q number Of
years as in Chicago. The defeat 10y the
handsome majority OF from 5000 to t.
600 is conclusive evidence under the
circumstances, that Chicago has been
converted to Democratic principles. IL
is victory, not only Tor the Democracy
Of that city, hut for the whole country,
II shows the tendency Of public scnti-
ment. 1t is an expression upon the
policy OF the Democratic lcairrs in
Congress. Il is cause for congratula-
ton all over the country.
