The Indiana State sentinel., 1880-01-28


now's his time to speak,"
THE widow of ex-President Tyler has asked
Congress for a pension on the ground of the
immense depression In the value of her real
estate, the mortgages on her Northern prop
erty having been foreclosed, and those on her
Southern property constantly troubling her.
She says: az find I have scarcely anything
whatever left to live upon"
THE New Hampshire Patriot says Senator
Voorhees,, OF Indiana, deprecates the negro
exodus to that State, upon humanitarian
principles but is not politically apprehensive
as to the result. He says that if all the negroes
in North Carolina were sent to his State Il
would only serve to swell its Democratic ma
jorities in an equal, If not greater proportion.
THE New Orleans Democrat truthfully says
that 1t is sad to reflect that the rascals who
have been the cause of the exodus and who
hoped to achieve success for the party, and, at
the same time, cripple the South, can not be
punished in some way; can not be made TO
endure some small part of the misery they
have been the means of inflictlng upon a SIM
ple-minded and credulous people.
THE Chicago Times says there is no longer
any need to doubt. The ''strong man" ticket
is obviously done to order. The convention at
Chicago is q mere formallty. Arcades anbo,
soldiers both, both on horseback, each booted
and spurred, and supplied with bayonets and
things; combination, sectionally as well as in
every other respect, the very thing. Maine
and Illinois, GIeIt and Chamberlain-it's Just
the ticket!
THE st. Louis Post-Dispatcl says here is
another reason why the Democrats should
be given entire control of the country
next year: Clerk Adams, of the House of
Representatives, has sold the waste paper in
his possession for 81 .3i4, which sum has been
turned into the treasury, contrary to previous
usage. 1t is estimated that $1,000 conscientious
Democrats in Office, such as Adams, would
save the country Sl50,0O0 year on waste paper
alone.
REUBEN BoYcE, a Texas stage robber, was in
jail at Austin. His wife rode to the prison on
a racehorse, and asked If she could take
basket of provisions into her husbands cell.
Permission was given. The jailer, when he
thought her visit had lasted long enough,
opened the cell door and ordered her out.
Boyce came instead, brandishing a revolver
that had been carried to him in the basket,
and made his way to the fast horse, on which
he rode away.
THE Delphi Times approves the platform
outlined for the Democracy by Hon. VIM. II.
English in his Courier Journal interview, and
says his views of the policy of the Democracy
of the country are SO clearly stated, and give
such exhibition of patriotic wisdom as to
challenge admiration. The same paper thinks
the Democratic press has made mistake in
opposing the candidacy of Grant His would
be the best nomination possible-for the De-
mocracy.
Mrs. MARY A. LIvERMoRE, the lecturer, says
the big fires which cook our breakfasts cook
the women who stand over the stoves, and
that there is waste of wood and waste of
women. In the same lecture she speaks of
advances made in science, and tells how. be-
ing in the house of friend, she heard through
the telephone a message from the lady's
daughter, who wanted her mother to look out
of the window while her darling was driving
past the house with a beautiful new bonnet.
THE Washington City Sentinel says: "Whilst
we would personally have no objection TO
the nomination of Seymour, we still be-
lieve that Bayard, with English or
Morrison as vice president, would be
a stronger ticket and a surer guar
anty of victory, especially If Grant should be
the Republican nominee. Seymour is too old,
and the principal man on the ticket which he
would head would on that account be the can
didate for vice president"
THE Nevada Appeal tells how a man lately
was so affected by the forlorn aspect of de-
crepit old woman, apparently in the last stage
of destitution, that he was observed by a by
stander to give her money. "D'you know
that old woman" inquired the other. "No,
but 1 couldn't bear to see the poor old thing In
such distress. I've Old mother, and 1
thought OF her. 1t was the last dollar had"
''See that block yonder," was the reJoinder;
''it is owned by the old woman TO whom you
gave your money"
AT the wedding of Miss MiIlais, who is a
niece of Mrs. Lester WalIack, with Mr.. James,
son of Lord Justice James, and the noted
beauties of London were to be seen-"none In
fags and none In tags, but all in silk attire"
The bridesmaids, all pretty and young, wore
red tongues" " maRing the effect rather theat-
rical. Mrs. Langtry wore a scarlet, tight-ft-
ting costume, which, when she let her black
mantle descend, reminded one of a certain
character in "Faust." The church was made
brilliant by number of lighted gas burners.
Mr.. and Mrs. WalIack sent handsome presents
The New York Tribune Is the authority for
the statement that Fernando Wood says there
are only two men in New York who can har-
monize the Democratic party here and lead It
to victory In the presidential contest-Horatio
Seymour and Clarkson n. Potter. He does not
believe Mr.. Seymour could be induced to
cept. "Mr. Potter is young man, sterling
and sound Democrat able a statesmen, and
perfectly free from any alliance in the feuds
that have distracted his party In New York"
Musing moment, MIR. Wood adds: "Mr. TIL
dsn is, believe, still in the race" he is, and
he has never been suspected OF being in It for
the purpose of coaching Mr.. Potter.
INTo the tonsorial establishment OF an Am
erican citizen of African descent in Boston,
the other day, entered another American citi-
zen, likewise of African descent, having with
him his little boy. Raising his razor from the
the face that 1t had been scarifying, said the
barber to his race-man, "What dye want,
sah?" al want to hev der chile's har cut" was
the reply. Said the knight OF the lather-brush,
"We don't cut cullud folkses har. sahI" AS the
bewildered man and brother passed out with
his boy the barber continued confidentially,
"Der fax am dat we's trubbled ter def wild desc
