The quarrel between Belva Lockwood and
Ben Hill is interesting as it stands. Ben
charges Belva with being blackmailer, and
Belva retorts by alleging that Ben is bold,
bad man, who varies his Senatorial duties by
deceiving poor, innocent girls. providing
their relatives with clerkships and making
them presents of gold watches. Thus far
Ben seems to have the best of the dispute,
for he has proved that but one person was
ever employed by the government at his
solicitation, and that person has neither
sisters, cousins nor aunts. Though the
scandal is somewhat salacious it will be ex-
tensively read.

characters of "Clown" and "Pantaloon" in
Humpty Dumpty. On the right hand side
was painting of George L. Fox in his per
sonations of ssHamlet," "Richelieu,'' and the
"Clown' and "Bottom." Tinseled proper
ties hung from the ceiling. Elaborate
dresses, curtains and lambrequins for tent
scenes covered the walls. Great bundles OF

in seeming confusion over the floors.
Such slaughter at auction was never be-

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY,

T.cO Young Ladies' Murdered bD Their Ua-
cle-The Assassin Commits Suicide With
Hts Plumber In HIS Hands.
Marshfeld, Mo-, Special March 12) to st. Louis
Republican,
News from reliable source reached here
to- day of a terrible tragedy which recently
occurred in the southern part Of Howell
county, this State. An old man had drawn
a pension, and $500 of the money remained
in his possession. He resided on farm
with his two grown daughters. He had gone
from home and left the money, $4OO with
each of his daughters. About dark of the
night of the murder q stranger appeared and
desired lodging for the night. The young
ladies' explained their lonely condition and
refused to entertain the stranger. He per-
sisted, and being quite an elderly man OF
good appearance, the young ladies finally
consented to let him remain. At bedtime
the young ladies repaired to their apartment
in the second story and left the old gentle
man to sleep in q room below.
In the latter part of the night he was awak-
ened by o noise up stairs as if some one were
strangling, and being armed with revolver,
he proceeded cautiously up the stairs and to
the door OF the room In Wnlcn the young
ladies had retired. When at the door of
the room he discovered the form of man
in the room, and at about the same time
the man discovered him, started towards him
and struck at him with knife but missed
him. Then the old man fired and the in
truder fell dead. The old man then rushed
out of the house, heard chickens growing,
and ran in that direction, until he came to
house where he found a woman sitting by
the fire. He explained his mission and what
he had done. The woman said, "That is
my husband and the uncle of the girls; he
went there to rob them" The stranger took
fresh scare, and started on run to find
another house, which he did in about half
mile. The neighborhood was alarmed and a
posse gathered, and before daylight they
were at the scene of the tragedy.
The uncle was found dead on the floor
with the eight hundred dollars in one hand
and the knife in the other. The two Young
ladies were found in bed with their threats
cut. The villaiHons uncle obtained entrance
by means of q ladder through one of the up.
per windows.

The New York Tribune has received 1854
responses to its circular to Republicans ask
ing for their preferences as to Presidential
candidates, of which 1918 are for Blaine. 1t
therefore argues that the Utica convention
misrepresented the party by instructing for
Grant. AS there are over four hundred thou
sand Republican voters in New York, it will
appear that the Tribune has received re-
sponses in favor of its choice from about
one-three hundred and thirty-third part of
the voters. Not much of a basis to work
upon, truly.

THE TARIFF ON PAPER.

Sharp Debate on the Fort Blu Before the
Senate-Ar0unsent for tho Tariff by Mr..
Russell, of the Firm of Avertll, RsssselL
& Carpenter, st. Paul.
Washington Special March 1877 Chicago Trib-
une.
The continuation of the hearing before
the ways and means committee to-day on
the Fort bill to reduce the duty on printing
paper was farce. The wood-pulp makers
not only occupied three-fourths of the three
hours, but they were so defiant and aggres-
sive that the non-protectionist members
seemed to be completely bulldozed. Not the
least interesting part of the performance was
the appearance before the committee of two
members of Congress- Miller, of New York,
and Russell, of Massachusetts as
sumed to instruct the committee upon every
phase of paper-making, and insisted that it
was the paramount duty of Congress to pro-
tect wood-pulp. Russell, particularly, was
unsparing in his den1nciations of the press.
The Chicago Tribune, he said. had been the
first to start the cry of "Down with the duty
on paper and its components." It was
stated that he (Russell) derived
AN INCOME OF $500, 600 Oh 100000
from his profits in the monopoly of pulp
making. The truth was very far below that
figure perhaps. During the ye ars following
the war his income might have been as large
a. that from his entire business, which in
cludes the manufacture of paper as we'll as
pulp. He said whatever newspapers might
say of him he felt it to be his duty to defend
his own personal interests, and he should
continue to do 80 even if political death were
the result.
Miller argued in
MUCH THE SAME WAY,
and spoke with bitterness of the treatment
he had received from newspapers, which he
represented as attacking him without reason,
honest motive or basis of fact.
Il is characteristic of all tariff discussions
in Congress and before the committee of
ways and means that the advocates and de-
tenders of protection are always better Or
ganized, and fight with more determination
They generally are better prepared with the
details of the matters under discussion. The
committee itself is undoubtedly organized
in the interests of protection, and this was
never shown more conclusively than to-day.
Kelley, Garfield, Frye and Conger seemed to
be active and aggressive protectionists. An
advocate of free trade coming before that
committee can scarcely hope for fair treat
ment at the hands Of Kelley,
who seems to regard any argu-
ment against high protection as

A Sad Journey Westward.

A pathetic story is told of the suffer
ing of Johh Oatnaught and his family,
consisting of a wife and eleven child
rem, who arrived in this country about
two weeks ago, 1t SCENT that Oat'
naught, who had been farmer in Bel
GUM, became disgusted with the har.
vests in that country, and having in
qulred from some of his countrymen
who had emigated to Idaho, about the
prospect in that section and received
encouraging replies, he detefmed to
bring his family there. He sold his lit.
tie place and from the proceeds of the
sale he paid the passage of himself and
family, his remaining funds being very
small. On his arrival at Castle Garden
he started Immediately for the west,
but his money carried them only as fa1
as Troy, N. Y. They then decided to
cover the remainder of the journey on
foot, and for several days they lived by
the charity of the people residing on
their route. The small children, how.
ever, began to suffer from the intense
heat, and finally one of them was
taken sick and died by the wayside
near Rochester. When they reached
that city they were we'll cared by by
charitable people, to whom they told
their story, but another little one had
suffered too much hardship and sue
cumbed to it. The family are now re-
cuperating and will be forwarded te
their destination as soon as they have
sufficiently recovered from their lat.
fatigue.

How the Crows Attack Snakes In Ohio
Bellefontaine Republican.

A friend informs us that while riding
in the country one day last week his at
tention was attracted by the peculiar
actions of q pair of crows in a field q
few rods from the road. After rising
to an altitude of eight or ten feet the
birds would turn suddenly and pounce
upon some object on the ground. then
rise in the air again and repeat the op.
GRAFTON. Being at a loss to know what
kind of q frolic the birds were engaged
i'll, he left his team and went into the
field to investigate the matter. When
within q few yards OF the scene he was
not little surprised on finding the
crows engaged in lively combat with
large black snake. They would
swoop down upon his snakeship with
open beak and endeavor to size him,
but at every attempt the snake would
quickly coil himself and make a savage
thrust at his would be-captors, which
made it difficult for them to get hold OF
him. Our informant was not long per.
mitted to view the interesting specta-
Gle, as the crows became frightened at
his approach and flew of, when he dis.
patched the black snake with club,
which measured over four feet in
length.
