management of the Pennsylvania campaign.

time, on conviction of bribery, but the
party in that State will see to 1t that he is re-

has been turned up-near what is known as
the Shell bank, on the eastern branch, near
BladeDsburg, in Maryland. He is said to be

IN proportion. His chest, arms and legs are
described as magnificent in shape and perfect
in preservation. The right hand grasps TOM
ahawk, and there is what is supposed to be a
bullet-hole near the right eye. The body
weighs almost exactly a ton, or 1900 pounds,
and the features are asserted to express the
death agony in surprising and agreeable
manner. The discovery was made by two per-

A GALLANT rescue was witnessed by Paris
crowd a fortnight ago. Two young men and
two girls were rowing on the seine, and had
engaged In an improvised race with another
boat, when one one of the girls, anxious to sig
Nifty her delight at her friends distancing their
rivals, got up, and Immediately fell into the
water. AS neither OF her companions could
swim she would inevitably have been lost had
not a man who witnessed the accident jumped
into the river and, with all his clothes on, gone
TO her rescue. He did not reach her till she
had sunk for the second time, but the brave
fellow dived in the direction in which she dis
appeared, and, after remaining under water
for some time, returned empty handed. After
taking breath he again plunged down, and this
time was successful in bringing the girl up.
His strength being almost exhausted, he had
great difficulty in getting her to the boat, but
finally reached 1t in safety with his burden.
GENERAL THoMA AS EWING was put forward
on Monday to answer In a single hour the
saults the Republicans had made for several
days on the rider OF the army bill. The rider
simply prohibited the use of the troops at the
polls, and the Republicans themselves voted
for 1t during the extra session. Now, how
ever, they thought TO draw the Democrats
into discussion, which they, on the other
hand, determined to avoid, and the only re-
ply they have made to a full weeks talk from
the minority was the one speech by General
Ewing; and 1t was one of the strongest, most
convincing unanswerable speeches which has
been made in Congress for years. He demon
strated from the record that the Republicans
had put 3S7 political riders in appropriation
bills-iorty -four in the last Congress before
they lost control, while the democrats have
inserted only three riders on bills since the
party came into power. 1t was n strong, elo-
quent presentation of facts that speak In
trumpet tones, and General Ewing demon
strated anew his strength a leader of the
party.
