CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Among the compliments
of the new order - issued to the conductors OF
tho West Side horse-cars all ignore humanity to

to overflow, will stand fifty fcct from where
car hns just stopped and wait until it has ar
rived, and compel it TO stop again, the horses
ggniu tu be strained In starring the henvy load.
a conductor told the writer that he had fire.
oueutly stopped as many as eight or ten times
in the distance Of one block for ladies to get on
or OF the cur. lie also stated that 1t was tho
practice uf many ladies' to bcratp tho conductors
# not left exact1y orpostt the door Mt which
they desired to stop, and It By error the car was
stopped two or three doors too soon 1t must be
started and stopped again. no matter how large
Il load was aboArd. to accommodate Mrs So and
So at her rer7j do0T.
These are among the reasons that led to the
issuing of the recent just and humane order. The
little trouble aud attention necessary for per-
sun to be Mt the corners when n Cur passes Is
nothing when compared With the saving OF the
poor horses. "Amen" to the order IS the voice
uf HUMANITY.

Condensed HisfarY.

/ For the past three moths the newspa
pers of the country have been occupied
to an unusual degree with the public af.
fairs Of the State of Maine. That ordi.
narily quiet and peaceful Common.
wealth has never before been so much
the subject of public interest, of conver-
sation and discussion. This interest will
presently cease; the State will lapse
back into the rut of routine, and the oc-
currences which have given her such
unusual prominence will pass out of
mind But before they are forgotten
entirely it will not be out of place to
gather the salient features and condense
in few sentences the history of very
remarkable transaction. They hardly
need comment, ,foIto all thoughtful minds
they carry their own, but they con-
tain lesson in government which it
would be unwise to neglect, and offer
revelations concerning the spirit and
purpose of q great party which aspires
to direction and control to which we
shall do well to give heed The chief
interest that abides now, after the con-
spirators have been baked and failure
has fallen on the plot, is in the light
thrown by it on the purposes of the par
ty under whose auspices the great fraud
was attempted. For it must be borne
in mind that the scheme was by no
means merely local, the desperate ad-
venture of few politicians anxious to
retain possession of the small offices they
held, but part of a wider plan that en-
braeeo the whole country in its scope
and had the Federal Government, with
all its patronage and power, for its OBJ
Jectlve point. And the party that origi-
mated it-for whose sole benefit it was
concocted and whose leaders everywhere
encouraged it-must be held accounta-
ble for it.
After the election in September last
the counting of the votes showed be-
yond question the success of the Repub-
licans In both branches of the Legisla
ture. There was no doubt as to any i'm
portant point except for a few days as
the choice of Governor by the people.
The official returns disclosed the fact
that the Republican candidate. though
having a handsome plurality over the
rest, had few hundred votes less than
an actual majority over all. This was
not considered matter of any moment. |
as the fact of an undisputed majority in
Doth branches of the Legislature made |
his election certain. No man in or out
Oh the State dreamed of disputing this
state OF facts. There were no contests
Df seats in specific cases; but in little
while the conspirators began to pave1
'he way for their plot by circulating
,ock-and-bull stories about wholesa e
bribery which they were unable to veri-

prise Party took place on January Slst.
His children and children-in-law decided
to get up party and present the "old
folks with new suit of clothing and
other presents, and also provide dinner
which would rejoice the heart. Some
of the neigbors joined in, and the mat
ter was worked up to successful issue,
the recipients being taken entirely by
surprise. Before the dinner was set
Mr.. Nathaniel Taylor presented the
gifts with few appropriate remarks,
and the old gentleman was overcome
with emotion. His suit was good one,
and complete in every particular. Mrs.
A. was furnished with two new dresses,
a new bonnet, and other small articles
and dollar in cash. Some of these
presents were contributed by the invi-
ted guests, and those who were not at
the time prepared, expressed desire to
aid in the good work. We are inform
ed that the occasion was the source of
much enjoyment, and that the dinner
was of the best. Industry and civility
are the characteristics of Mr.. Abers

pied by Mr.. J. II. Shannon. The con-

PetrifIinR Child.

A Cleveland dispatch of Saturday
says: THE most extraordinary case of
sclerema, OF petrifying of the skin.
known in medical history was made the
subject of "a medical clinic in this city
to-day. The case was that of a
child brought here from New Philadel-
phia, and it is becoming literally a pet
rified child. The flesh is as cold and
hard almost as marble; and while the
child, which is nearly three years old,
continues to iiveit can only freely move
its lips and eyes. 1t has none of the
warmth and pliability of human flesh,
and sleeps with its eyes open, presenting
a most CHASTITY spectacle. Until six
months ago it was in perfect health.
The disease is one of the connective it's
sues between the skin and flesh, whose
origin is unknown, but is supposed to be
caused by perverted nutrition. This is
the thirty-tifth case discovered and is an
one, inasmuch as no instance
has heretofore been known where the
entire body was affected. The child
must die, as complete petrifcation will
ensue."
