A STRANGE MEMORIAL OF SORROW
4 striking instance OF the arbitrary state
in which Scotland was held in former
times, both in public and private af-
fairs, is exhibited in the sad fate Of the
wife Of a Lord OF Session, whose title
was Lord Grange. It was suspected
that the lady, by some means or other,
had got at the knowledge of some State
papers of infinite consequence, and as
poor women are set down in the minds
of all arbitrary men TO be incapable OF
keeping a secret, Grange and his son de-
termined to secure the one contained in
the paper in question by putting it out
Of the lady's power to diyulge anything
she knew of the matter. To accomplish
their design, the husband and son pri-
vately conveyed her TO the Island Of st.
Kilda, there put her on shore, and left
/ her 10 shift for herself and sailed back
again, without a living being having
missed them or suspected what they
had executed; nor could the lady's place
I of cOucealment be discovered by her
| friends, although they made every ef-
| fort in their power 10 find out whittier
they had conveyed her, but to no pur-
pose. The Island Of Kilda afforded no
/ implements for writing, and the lady's
/ history would never have been known
/ had she not worked it on her muslin
apron with her hair. Her family, by
some means or other after her death
/ (Which happened at st. Kilda nearly
I thirty years after her banishment) got
! possession of this curious piece of work,
and preserved it with great care as a
memorial of her sufierings and Of the
tyranny of the times in which she lived

EXCELSIOR.

Yesterday afternoon quite crowd gathered
on Camp and Canal streets. It assembled In
the usual way. One man was engaged in
what seemed to be an astronomical observa-
tion or the heavens; the direction Indicated
by his gaze was taken up by others, and
finally several hundred Joined In the general
search after something. This time it was
not star which arrested attention, unless
an athlete might BIO digniHed with that title
TT was simply an exploit ut climbing which
SO engrossed the observers. Upon the roof Of
the hat store at the corner OF Canal and
Charsres streets there stood pole about
thirty feet high, the supmit OF which was
crowned with d huge hat, the trademark OF
the establishment below. A man had placed
small ladder against this pole, which reacheu
about one-fourth OF the entire distance, and
from the topmost rung proceeded to climb.
Several times he made the attempt to reach
the top, and was almost within grasptng dis
tance OF the hat. looking like much diminish-
ed boy or strangely-formed bird, and slipped
down again from exhaustion. That greatest

umphed, and the climber finally carried down

MhEdricks's Appeal to Ohio.
from Hendrtcks's Eaton Sueech.

The responsibility now resting upon the
Ohio Democracy is exceedingly great l am
glad to know that the candidates are worthy
the highest respect and entitled to the most
cordial support. The result Of the election
may have much influence upon the national
contest of 1880. Why hesitate about carrying
the State? The cause is worthy your utmost
efforts. Democracy as defined by the found
ers OF our party, as written in your platform,
demands Justice for all. favoritism to none.
In the race Of life give all an equal start and
fair chance. My hope and prayer will be
that our success in 1880 shall mean and signi-
~ the permanent restoration of fraternity;
the preservation Of our institutions, State and
Federal, In accordance with the letter and
spirit Of the constitution; no innovations;
obedience to the constitution and the enforce
ment OF the laws; protection OF all In the en-
ioyment of all constitutional and legal rights
by the authority upon which the duty to pro-
tect is imposed; harmony between capital and
labor, and the enforcement Of such laws as the
protection OF the rights Of either may require;
the abolition of the coolie system from our
country, SO that no more Chinese bondmen
shall be- brought to cheaper and degrade
labor; the will Of the people not to be defeated
by the exercise OF the veto power In cases In
volving only judgment and discretion; free
and fair elections, and the inauguration Of the
man whom the people elect.

A Fearful a'ragedy.

The Franhfauter Zeitu,ag reports an appall-
Ing case Of suicide which occurred few days
ago at Edmodiham, and which recalls In its
features ancient tragedy. A farmer named
Hofflnger had two sons. The elder fell In love
with the servant maid, but had to join his
regiment as o soldier and serve his three years
with the colors. On his return honle he dis
covered that his brother had supplanted him
in the affections of the maid. He coniured
her to allow old relations to be re-established,
but she refused. He threatened to commit
suicide, but she laughed at him. Some days
later she went SO far as to taunt him with
cowardice, declaring she did not believe he
could muster courage enough to drown him
self In the neighboring lake. He answered
that he would not drown himself, but would
take away his life In manner that would
make her hair stand on ends. On the morn
Ing OF Sunday, September 7, while his parents
and sisters were at church, he took q young
horse from the stable, fastened rope securely
to him, and bound the end Of the rope round
his own body. He then put lighted slow
match into the ear OF the poor animal, which
naturally started off, and mad with pain
dragged the unfortunate Hoffinger with him
In all directions, finally plungiDg into the
Seekirchner Lake. Later In the day the two
bodies were found In the lake still fastened
together. Hoffiinger's was so fearfulIy shat
tered and mutiiated as to be quite beyond
recognition.

The grand International exhibition which
was to have been held In New York In 1888
seems to be lapgushing, II not TO have fallen
pointed to superintend the matter, but OF
these one has never been heard from, while
the other has done nothing more than talk.
Under these circumstances the New York
Tribune thinks that 1883 would be much too
early To hold the exhibition, MS 1t would not
allow enough time to make oil tho necessary
preparations, and 1t proposes Instead 1887, or
oven 1889. In the meanwhile Germany will
hold an exhibition In Berlin in 1886.

A BLOODY AFFRAY.

Two Men Stabbed and One Said To
BE Mortally Wounded.
AT half past 2 o'clock this morning, at the
corner OF Basin and Common streets, a bloody
affair took place, during which Jack Henni-
gan, d cab driver, was cut In the breast, while
John Schneider had his abdomen laid open
with dirk knife, said to have been In the
hands of one Robert Pollock, assisted BY
Henry Brown.
Heunigan was taken to his home, where he
was examined by DR.. j. O. Beard, who. as
usual. was on hand, and who pronounced his
wound serious but not dangerous.
Schneider was taken to the Hospital, where
IL was found that he had his whole abdomen
{ laid open, and that the cut, twelve inches 10
length. extended across the abdomen around
to the middle OF the back, and 10 considered Q
fatal one
It appears that some time ago the two
wonnded men were arrested at the instiga-
tion OF Pollock, aud since then they have been
on bad terms with each other. Last night
they met and the cutting occurred. The two
accused effected their escape.

ALBANY, Sept. 2o.-The Democratic bolt Is
the cnef topic OF discussion among politicians
Of both parties throughout the State. There
is n diversity Of opinion in regard to It's pro-
bable effect on the election. Here In Albany
the Kelly movement has gained foothold.
and Gov. Ronnsons friends are somewhat
discouraged. Butin other counties they are
as hopeful as ever. One of them said:
There are only few counties where the
boilers can get up even the skeleton of IN or
ganization. They counted upon findinR
good many sympathznrs In Monroe. They
were oven hopeful that the Rochester Union
would repueiate Robinson and come out for
Kelly, But Mr. Purcells paper hoisted the
regular ticket. aud as he Was the acknowI-
edged leader OF the opposition, his followers
all fell into line. Meantime the Robinson men,
III anticipation OF split, had zone what they
could to perfect an organic alton, and when
no split occurred the party found itself
stronger than usual in that county. i Is the
same In Orleans. ID Niagara there will prob
ably be q few hundred votes cast for Kelly
but the Democrats will make up the defections
from other sources. III Erie county the
anti Robinson feeling grows weaker every
day. The Republican newspapers of Buffalo
have overdoue the business OF encouraging
the Democratic bolt, aud their efforts have
had the effect to Drive back into the ranks
those who were inclined to revolt but are not
willing to follow the advice ot their avoHed
opponents. La Oswego there Is pretty strong
faction hostile to Robinson and favorable to
the revival Of the Canal ring but 1t Ia neither
as strong nor as vicious as 1t was III 1876 and
the Republicans OF O5wego are really more
disaffected than the Democrats, though less
Is said about 1t. The rejection OF Churchill
as candidate at Saratoga, and the curious
course pursued by Mr.. Sloan, have allienated
hundreds from the support OF Cornell,
In Chemung county. In spite OF Jerry
Maguire's fiery eloquence, Lucian Rob-
lnson will get q larger majority than
he did three years ago, and his ma
jority then was more than 800. Kelly will
receive, In Elmlra, a few OF the votes that
were given to the Greenbackers In 1878. III
Onondaaa the canal ring Democrats, who are
under the direct control of Denison and Bel
den, will not waste any efforts on John Kelly,
but will vote straight fora. B. Cornell. In
Ontario, Seneca, Schuyler and Yates there
Will be a slight diversion In favor Of Kelly,
but 1t will not amount to 500 votes all told.
In Albany the diversion Is serious, but 1t is
due wholly to local causes, and does not grow
out Of the Tammany break Elsewhere in
the State the Democratic party is united, and
1t Is stronger than 1t was In 1874 We carried
the State then by 5000 majority, outside OF
New York city. We shall carry it thia year
outside Of tho city by 10000 In the city, al
lowing Mr.. Kelly all the votes he claims,
Robinson Will have plurality OF from $4,000

LADIES SERVANTS OF THE POOR.

The Society of Ladies' Servants Of the Poor,
formed regularly In 1862, had for Its object to
,me to assist secretly respectable families
reduced to poverty by the consequences OF
the war. Fathers, husbands, brothers, had
left them not sufficiently provided for the
time OF their acknowledgment than they ex-
pected.
The Ladies' Servants of the Poor, In order
to relieve the sufferings and restitution Of
these families, organized themselves In a
regular series OF monthly begging expedi.
tions, and for three years they We're able to
distribute eleven or twelve hundred dollars a
month.
AS the war ended the Servants Of the Poor,
instead of these monthly collections, had to
rely on their own resources and their in
ventlve spirit to procure the money still
necessary to their poor Concerts, fairs, va
rious kinds of amusement, obtained from the
public the means Of carrying on the work Of
charity already undertaken. The ladies con-
tribute themselves one dollar q month, but
this small amount IL quite inadequate to the
sum required to give satisfaction to the most
pressing calls addressed to the society. 1t Is,
then, a necessity for the Servants Of the Poor
every year, in the opening Of the winter sea-
greater, to Gull on the proverbially charitable
people OF New Orleans for help In order to
provide their dear clients with warmer cloth
ing and covering, with bread those who are
completely destitute, and with q little pro-
vision OF coal all OF them.
The primary object is to assist secretly
respectable families who are in perfect desti-
tuition, and still unwilling to appeal to the
public for charity. Whenever member Of
the society learns Of such case IT 10 her duty
