Home Of the Feeble-Miuded.

A representative OF the Sentinel
had the pleasure yesterday OF a con-
versation with Hon. B. f. Ibach,
the superintendent of the Home of
the Feeble Minded. On being
congratulated upon the fslsity
given certain rumors concerning
the Home, even by Republican papers, he
said, "Oh, there was nothing in the rumors.
The Home is in splendid condition, and, by
the time the next Legislature meete, will
be able to satisfy everybody that have made
OF the Home one Of the best institutions in
the country.
Our representative inquired the origin of
the rumors, and Mr.. Ibach replied that he
was at loss to know just how they origin
ated, but that he had been told that
they had probably come from the
fact that he had made some chsnges
for the institution. He had been trading
with certain parties paying them usual
rates-not extravsgant ones by any means
but the board OF trustees ordered him to buy
at wholesale in the future, as a very consid
cradle saving could be made in that way. He
had no csoice but to obey his
superior officers, and he thinks, perhaps,
that it may have given offense to some OF his
friends. As Mr. Charles Hubbard had been
a very warm friend of the institution, and a
Republican, our representative asked him
how Mr.. Hubbard regarded the
recent rumors. and Mr.. Ibach
replied that Mr.. Hubbard did not
believe them, neither had he put any Gre
dence in them from the START, and that
he had stood manfully by the management.
Mr.. Ibach is undoubtedly the right man
in the right place. He seems to be filled
with interest in his mission, and regrets that
even false rumors should have been set sfloat
in regard to his management. Mr.. Ioach
stated also that he had discharged one of the
employees sometime since, and perhaps this
had contributed somewhat to the budget of
faisehoods which had been started.

A Good Joke.


Judge John Green, of Upton, has mar
ried daughter. who resides with her husband
at Marshalltown, Iowa. One night this
week, shortly after midnight. she arrived at
Upton with the husband and two children,
the youngest a babe Of a few months old.
who had not yet made the acquaintance of
the Judge and his amisble wife. Mrs. Green
was absent at the death bed of neighbor's
child and the judge slowed away the new arri
walls in an apartment remote from his wifs's
room, who retired to bed unconscious OF the
addition to the family. In the morning
before rising the hired girl brought to her
bedside the Growing infant, informing the
astonished matron that IL had been left on
their doorstep the night before. and slyly
suggesting a marked resemblance to the
Judge, VINO, she added, had decided to keep
II in the family. Mrs. Green indignantly
denied the resemblance, saying there was
not drop OF Green blood in il" and de-
elsred in very emphatic language that the
child should be taken to the township
trustees at once. She would have none OF
il in her house. 1t is impossible TO surmise
what awaited the judge on her descent to
the dining room hkd not the daughter ap
peared upon the scene and introduced the
latest addition to the family. Toe smile
has not left the judges face yet and even
Mrs. Green now laughs at her own discom-
future.

A Sentinel Reporter Makes Another Brief
Tour Among the Negro mportapons,
and Finds Much Suffering,
(Fron Wednesdays Dailyl

lFrOTu wednesdays Daly)
Those who doubt the reports of the desti-
tuition and utter want existing among the
colored people of this city should visit them
In their miserable sbedes, as @ Sentinel rep
resentative did last night.
The condition of these people Is proof, of
course, that they have been deceived. Il is
the old secTy. 1t was represented to them
that furnished bouses were here awaiting
them, and ready wages at $50 per month.
UOon these representations George Con
nelly, q fine-looking colored man, of far
more than ordinary intelligence, acted, lesv-
ago, to find friends and sympathy In Indiana.
He yesterday walked the streets until foot
sore, asking for work-beggiDg for work or
bread-and at night, starving, dragged him
self to q miserable shelter, at the end OF Pros
pect street, near Adams brick yard. He
tells OF the Radical emissaries white and
black, who sought them in their North Caro-
lima homes, persuadiDg them to come to In
diana. He says they were brought here for
their votes alone.
At the corner OF West and North street, in
wooden tenement building. there are two
families, of which four members are sick
and all without either work or food.
The last place visited was what IS known
as the Barracks" at the corner of Pratt and
In this building there are several families
ia peopie-all of whom slept cold last
night, and will go without breakfast this
morning.
Ia a room on the ground floor we're two
women, both of whom informed the re-
porter that they had looked all day, in vain,
for work, and had nothing TO eat.
One Of them had gone with confidence to
the residence of Mr.. Fletcher, yesterday,
for help, but that gentleman was not at
home. She asked the reporter for the name
of some one who would give her something

Macy of our celored fellow C tizens q serve
great praise for contributing to alleviate this
distress, but they are usually poor, and
further than sympathy have little to give.
Rev. Moses Broyles, the colored orator
and politician, was not of the number how
ever, whose ministering virtues the reporter
last evening heard praised by these people.
He is said to be cold-hearted in the way of
giving anything but advice. he can not
bring his mind from its exalted plane OF
craftsmanship down to the drudgery of
Christian life. He il a soulless corporation
OF black, bigoted Radlcslism, shamefully
indifferent to every appeal of feeling Rev.

The st. Louis Globe Democrats pure a
Republican organ as ever defended a whisky
thief or Louisiana liar-says of Hayes:
He is so good Ratured, so weak, so apt to
promise well and to perform badly, that 1t is
impossible TO udge his works by the standard
usually applied to the conduct of public men.
There is small reason to doubt the honesty OF
his intentions, but when we come to consider
the failures that have resulted from all his
prominent undertakings and their causes, we
are forced to the conclusion that Most of his
honest intentions have been unwise, and
those that have escaped the brand OF folly
have been so weakly followed that they have
only served to bring his administration into
contempt.
He has done more than bring his admins
trstion into contempt. HIS occupancy of
the White House has been national degrad
ation-a continental crime-the first and
only instance where perjury elevated a man
to the Office OF president; aud for this crime
the leaders Of the Republican party are

/ have read recently the Life and Letters
OF Madame Bonaparte. What a strange
story That American beauty, with her 70.
mantle history, is as unromantic person
age as one can we'll imagine. Irecently met
an American lady vine has resided for long
years in Paris and who knew Madame Bona
parte very WE'LL having made her acquaint-
ance at the time she came TO Paris to try TO
obtain some portion of old King Jerome's
estate for her son. She describes her as re-
tanning much OF her extraordinary beauty,
even at the advanced age she had then
reached. Her neck and arms were still very
lovely, her compile xion fresh, and her eyes
brilliant and expressive. Her remaining
charms were set off by no elegencies of the
toilet. She appeared usually in enc or two
dresses, one OF which was a black stuff for
ordinary occasions, and the other q black
silk, which she wore to dinners and evening
entertainments. These dresses were both
made very short to display pair of feet
and ankles OF whose symmetry she was just
ly vain.
She took the deepest interest in all the
movements of Prince Napoleon, who was
then inhabitlng the Palais Royal and en-
gagged rooms overlooking the Place du Palais
Royal, SO that she could see hIr whenever
he left the palace to drive out Whenever
she was in her rooms she passed all her time
at the window watching for the brother of
her son. My informant one day called 10

Yes, am looking for him." she remarked !;
"that is the chief occupation of my days"
Perhaps in the strongly-marked Napoleonic
countenance of her husbands son, she re-
cognizsd the image of that other Jerome, the
husband Of her youth and the father OF her
only child.
she never ceased to cherish the hope of
seeing her family allied anew to royalty, or
at least TO nobility, by marriage, till the
union OF her grandson to an American lady
blighted her latter aspirations aud aroused
sfresh her bitter indignation. though she al
terwsrd became perfectly reconclled to the
match, But she had one fixed idea respect
ing her son and her grandsons namely.
that they ought TO have espoused ladies of
royal blood.

Scott county, Va, is in the extreme south

Two citizens of Salem, one afflicted with
total deafness and the other with cancer in
the face, paid visit to this natural doctor
some days ago. The deaf man came back
with his hearing restored. The man with
the cancer was entirely relieved of pain,
and the symptoms which the doctor said
would precede perfect cure have set in.
The Salem Register says that a Philadelphi
an has offered the doctor 1000 to travel
with him year, but he declined the offer,
and said that no amount of money could
induce him to travel for single
day. He says his power is from God. All
these stories seem incredible. DR.. Mcconnell

First ward man was told by his wife to

egg ogg, and then took paper bag full OF
selects and started for home. He stopped at
two or three saloons, and the bag began to

Presently a noise as OF a lead pencil in the

door and opens it, and finds him taking the
pencil out OF the key-hole. Not seeing any
oysters she asks him il he has forgotten the

communication, yesterday submitted the
following opinion:
SIR-Your favor OF the 4th inst. has been re-
ceived and considered. You ask the fol-
lowing question: II IL is lawful for boards of
county commissioners TO employ one of their
own number to superintend the construction
of public works, such as bridges, etc.? In an
swer, must say that think not. They are
public officers, with well defined duties, and
one OF them is 10 employ, If ii should become
necessary, g superintendent to supervise the
construction of such public Improvements as
they may be authorized TO build. There are
three members of the board, and they should
never place themselves in such position as
TO pref udice or forestan their just action, for
the public have a right to the free action of
all three OF the members in every question
that comes before the board. When acting In
the capacity OF superintendent the commits
would have to be paid such compensation as
his associates should determine. In the de
termination of this question the public would
be deprived of his judgment In the allowance
OF a claim against the county, which could
have not been contemplated by the law. L,
therefore, think that such employment OF
commissioner Is not only In bad taste, but
contrary TO public policy and illegal.
