OUR democratic brethren of the
newspaper press are bestowing a
great deal of unsolicited advice up
on Gen. Garfield. They are ex-
ceedingly anxious that he should
begin his administration fright. "
We read that one, Wilkins Micaw-
Der, was noted for the facility with
which he gave advice. He OBJ
served: "My dear young friend,
1 am older than you; man Of
some experience in life, and-and of
some experience-in short, in diff
culties, generally speaking. At
present, and until something turns
up (which l am, I may say, hourly
expecting), l have nothing to be-
stow but advice" Having nothing
else to bestow but advice, they are
very liberal with that, but, unfor>
tunately, like their great prototype,
Mr.. Micawber, they give such ad,
vice only as they have never taken
themselves. On one occasion he
advised his worthy spouse, "never
do Tomorrow what you can do to-
day." when Mrs. Micswber inter-
jected: "My poor papa's maxim, D
upon which her liege lord insisted
promptly and vehemently, that this
maxim of her poor father only ap-
piled to "our marriage, my dear, D
and that the marriage was entered
into prematurely as consequence,
and that he (Micawber) "never re.
covered the expense. Gen. Gar.
field doubtless understands the
source from which all this advice
comes, as well as the capacity and
motives of his would-be advisers
It will probably have equal weight
with that SO freely bestowed by
Wilkins Micawber.

THE MISSING CHILD.

New YORK, July IA special
from Newport, r. l., says dispatch
from New Orleans, referring to the
missing child, was read by Mr.. Hugh
Charles, agent for John Ell. Parnell,
of West Point, Ga. Mr.. Charles
had received letter from his wife,
at West Point, Ga, under date of
July 9th. She wrote that a singu-
lar incident had occurred. A lady
stepped out upon the platform of the
depot and handed a bright little
boy about two years of age to a by
stander who proved to be VIM. At
kins, of West Point. She requested
him to keep the child for few mo-
ments when his mother, whom she
called "Mrs. Evans" would call for
him. The "mother," however, who
entered a car and disappeared, did
not call and the boy is now in charge
of Atkins. It is possible that the
above may form a clue to the where's
abouts of the lad. Atkins is not
spoken Of as a very likely person to
have the custody of a child, and it
is barely possible that he and the
mysterious lady anticipated that re-
ward would be offered.

HANGED.

MEMPHIS, July 11.-Geo. Sam
ford and Richard Mckee, both col
ored, were hanged Friday at Osceo-
la, Ark, for the murder of Armi-
stead Penn, colored, on the Goth of
November last. In an interview
on the night previous to their exee
cution the condemned men con-
fessed their guilt, but said the Lord
had pardoned them. At noon they
left the jail under a strong guard
and walked to the place of execution.
The gallows was erected on the
bank of the Mississippi river under
a gigantic pecan tree, where the
condemned men Joined in singing
two hymns. On the scafold, Mckee
confessed to numbering Penn, and
Sanford spoke for several minutes
in a clear, firm voice also confessing
his guilt and saying he too was pres
pared to die. The drop was sprung
at 2 o'clock. McKee's neck was
broken by the fall. Sanford's moose
slipped a little and was drawn ur
against his left cheek: He cried
out, "Oh, kill me! kill me-! >
and made many spasmodic twists, al
one time drawing himself almost
double. Three thousand persons
witnessed the execution, which wa;
the first ever had in the county.

THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

ST. LOUIS, July 1.-THE scheme
to settle on the government lands
in the Indian Territory is gaining
strength daily, and quite boom in
it's favor is being started here. F.
D. Craddock, a lawyer, and one Of
a company who came here a few
days ago. to work up the scheme,
has received kilograms from Efing~
ham, Maria, and other places
in the state Of Illinois, stating
that number of persons will be
here on Monday, ready to go to the
territory. Advices have also been
received from Western Kansas that
number Of families who have
suffered from the drouth in that
country are on their way to Oklo-
homa. A. letter i.az H~o9 received
from II. L.. Hit, an old scout, who
was with Capt. Payne last
spring, in which he says:
The party that left Wichita
last Sunday arrived safely at their
old headquarters, and found corn
and vegetables plantedin the spring
in fine condition. Jack Bittle, a
scout from Texas, was found there,
and stated that thousand men
from Texes would be in the territory
in ten days. Hill wrote from Ar<
kansas City, from which point
he telegraphed to numerous
parties along the line of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe and Kan
sas Pacific railroads to push on at
once. It looks as though an invaa
sion Of the territory would be
formidable and that if the military
are instructed to eject the intruders
there will be a conflict.

SECRETARY THOMPSON
Sounds the Keynote of the Cam
paIgn ia Indiana.
Especial to the Cincinnati Commercially


Especial to the Cincinnati Commercially
TERRE HAUTE, July 10.-Secre-
tary Thompson formally opened the
campaign tonight by two hours
speech. He was escorted from the
hotel to Armory hall by an escort
of Garfield guards, one hundred
strong. He reviewed Hancock's S
career as commander in Louisiana.
In speaking of the bloody shirt is
sue, he said that if it is forced into
this campaign it will be because the
democracy won't allow it's burial.
Of Hancock's Inauguration if
elected, he said the democrats are
loudly boasting and threatening that
HancnoL, if elected, wonld take his
seat. That meant, if it meant anys
thing at all, that Tilden and Hens
bricks, who, according to their
theory, were elected, did not take
their saats because they were COWS
ards. If General Hnncock is elected
fairly and honestly, of course he
will take his seat; but if he is not
elected fairly and honestly he will
not take his seat, and that is all
there is about it, and the people of
the United States would not be
scared or bulldozed by all this per-
sonal bluster as to what the demo
Gratis were going to do.
He further said that the right and
privilege Of every citizen to vote as
he pleased in the coming contest
would be secured, if necessary, by
the exercise Of all the power of the
administration, supported, if need
be, by the army and navy, and he
warned the democrats that the man
who now occupies the presidential
chair, although he said but little,
would be found equal to any
emergency that might arise in
the protection Of citizens in ezer-
cising all the privileges to which
the law entities them. He psased {
glowing eulogy on President Hayes
and concluded by a comparison o.
the personal and political claims o
Garfield and Hancock as Presiden
tial aspirants. His eulogy of Gen
eral Garfield was the grandest anG
most eloquent passage in speech
which was remarkable for its bril-
liancy and effectiveness.
The hall was crowded with a larg
and attentive audience, who fre
quently applaudod.

Situation in virginia.
Especial 10 the Cincinnati Commerci

WASHINGTON, July 8.-The action of
the readjuster convention in Virginia yes
terday, in nominating an independent
Hancock electoral ticket, attracts q great
deal of attention here. Republicans claim
that this division of the democrats insures
the state to Garfield, and the democrats
virtually admit it. This means in effect
that the regular democrats of the state will
vote for one Hancock electoral
ticket, the readjusters for another Hancock
electoral ticket, and the republi-
cans for one Garfield electoral ticket leav-
ing the latter to carry the state and Garfield
to secure its electoral vote. There is a
large democratic majority, but it can not
be divided and remain a majority. Ii
the two contending factions Of the de-
mocracy. the conservatives and the read
justers, insist upon running separate Han
cock tickets, Garfield will carry the state,
and eleven electoral votss will be sub
tracted from the democratic and added to
the republican score.

4 Fatal Human Bite.
Now York Herald.

A profound sensation has been caused
among the villagers of Rye,7 Westchester
county, owing to the death Of a German
named Frank Engers, who was severely
bitten some time since by drunken man.
Some six weeks ago few neighbors met
in 3 Verden's saloon, opposite the rail-
road depot, Frank Engers, who Ealso keeps
a drinking place, being among the num-
Der. Hugh Reilly, a teamster, staggered
in drunk, and taking otfense at some re-
marks of Enger, Reilly, who is a power
full fellow, rushed at Fingers, and, biting
him in the breast with his head, knocked
him to the floor. Then, with the ferocity
of q bulldog, Reilly threw himself upon.
the PROSTATE form of his victim and
commenced to butt him in the face.
Engers, to protect himself, put out his
left hand, which Reilly Immediately
seized, biting the thumb and forefnger
in O. shocking manner. The hand and
arm became greatly swollen, causing
Engers intense pain--the wound caused
by Reilly's incisions ultimately assuming
the appearance of rapid modification.
Through the treatment of a physician the
wounds were apparently healed. Last
Thursday, however, Engers went
down to the village, and in a short
time ne returned. as his wife
states, "all crippled up" He seemed to
have cramps in his back, and stomach and
sides, and :complained of pains all over
him. The doctors could give him no
relief, and after suffering intense agony be
died on Saturday afternoon.
