Rev. DR.. Lorimer now of Chicago, meets
the charge of plagiarism from the writings Of
Parker with a card, in which he explains that
his mind from hearing and reading that emf
nent divine's discourses, had become saturated
with his style and phraseology. His memory
is such that everything he reads adheres to it
and unconsciously becomes a part of his men,
tai furniture. Hence he runs the risk when
treating of kindred topics of employing similar
and at times identical language, without in
tending to wrong any one. He draws atten-
ton to the fact that although he chose the
same text as DR.. Parker, he used it for differ
ent purpose, and the scope of his discourse
was quite distinct from the other. The pas
sages quoted as resembling or identical with
passages of DR.. Parkers sermons are, Dr. Lori
mer asserts, only small portion of his dis
course, and he denies that he consciously and
Intentionally copied them. He adds that he
would scarcely have been so stupid as to give
out his manuscript to q reporter if he had
knowingly infringed on the property of a writ
er so we'll known as Joseph Parker.

know his to be the worst of any mans in the
State. He has found rather rich field in
showing up the tefgiversations of Mr.. Beard
"How do you account for the sweeping Re
publican victories in Ohio and Iowa; and what
do they signify? You have been there enough
to know" So writes a friend from Maine.
For the benefit of others will answer this
question briefly. And let me add that nation
al politics, aside from the general desire to
keep the States in line for 1880, had nothing to
do with the result. That is, the elections do
not mean patriotic uprising to crush out any
new rebellion. People in those States onn-
demned Southern outrages, but didn't use the
"solid South as campaign argument. Reviv--
ing business and the certainty of the success OF
resumption, disguised the people with party
which harped on hard times and the inability
of the government to resume specie payments.
The people knew that this kind OF argument
was falsehood and deception, and il the party
would deceive in one thing it would in another.
They dare not trust it. Last year the Demo-
Gratis had told them that the Republican party
was responsible for the state of the times. The
times were never so good in Ohio and Iowa as
to-day, and the voters took the Democrats at
their word and accredited the Republicans
with making good times. The fact is, the
Democrats have overshot the mark. Now as
to the significance. Really, don't see any.
Iowa is about equally divided in preference for
Presidential candidates between Grant and
Blaine, and think Ohio is also. Sherman
seems tome to be out of the race. L found
Blaine immensely popular all through the
West SCOTT.

Inquest in the Gum Murder Case.
BRocKToN, Oct. 22-An inquest on the body
of Justin l.. Gum, murdered at Bridgewater
Sept "a, was held here this forenoon before
the First District Court Justice j. r. Perkins.
Five witnesses were examined by District At
torney French, and their sworn testimony
conceded with the facts which have already
been published. Justice Perkins rendered the
following report: 'That Justin L. Gum, late
of Bridgewater, came to his death at about the
hour of 10 o'clock in the evening of Wednes-
day. Sept. "a, 1872 by blows with Ratchet in
the hands of Henry L. Gum, at the dwelling

The Pocassett Murder.
WAREHAM, Oct. 21-Mrs. Freeman, the
wife of Charles F. Freeman, is still an inmate
of the family of Mr.. Inman, the jailer at Barn
stable. She seems to be in very melancholy
state and her mind is apparently wandering
She still thinks and believes her husband will
be set at liberty again. Dramatically her be-
lief is the same as when first incarcerated. Her
later trouble is now wearing heavily upon her
mind, and she begins to look old and care
worn. When she takes her departure from
Barnstable she WILL as far as can be ascertain
ed, go to the home of her mother in Pocasset.
She will not, as reported, at present go to re-
side at the scene of the tragedy in the above
village. Her little daughter is still with
friends, the mother not having as yet seen her
since her release from jail. The late home at
Pocasset remains as it was left by the Free
mans on the day of the murder, with the ex-
ception of what has been disturbed by relic
seekers in their ravages of the house a few
weeks ago.
