Disgrace and Death -- T'AriIIin.
Tragedy IN Toronto.


Special to tho Cnciuaui Enquirer
TORONTO, ONT, June 15.-Thi,
morning the great Lambton Mills
tragedy was concluded by the suicide
III his cell of Robert DeCoursier the
fratricide. He was to have been hung
tomorrow, and this last act of the
terrible drama has produced Il profound
sensation.
The story of the crime is as follows;
Robert and Edward DeCOursicr were
brothers, and lived together on a
farm at Lambton Mills, near here.
/ Both were magnfcently proportioned
and pOpu ar. Robert was the finer
| looking of the two-over six feet high,
| with dark, WaVY auburn hair, heavy,
dropping mustache, u noble counte-
! nance and commanding presence.
The brothers disagreed about money
matters, and separated, Robert remoV-
ing to distant town, leaving Miss
| Mary Mills, the belle of the country
side, with promise that he would
soon return and make her his bride.
Then Edward began the devilish
work which ended in the disgrace Of
the lady and the death Of himself and
brother. So deep-rooted was his hatred
of his brother, that by forged letters
unblushing lies and prOtestatiOns of
love, Edward persuaded Miss Mills to
fOrsake his brother and engage herself
to him. He seduced her and shortly
before her confinement, when her
shame was generally known, he wrote
to his brother Robert to come home
and he could have his girl if he want
ed her.

SOME kind friend at Washington,
d. c., has sent us through the mail
from the house of w. H. and o. H.
Morrison, of that city, an elegant ink
stand, patent rubber, and paper knife.
Whoever has done this thing has ex-
hibited a penetrating conception of
the true road to our affections, for
nothing could be more highly appreci-
ated in this sanctum. 1t is the very
thing that was needed and wanted.
The fact that our unknown friend has
chosen to do good by stealth, without
letting his right hand know what his
left is up to, only tends to make his
or her memory the dearer.

1t is in order now for Mr.. Stackhouse
agricultural editor of the Comet, to rist
and explain about those "15 inch diameter
onions" Otherwise, we shall insist on
committee of experts going down anC
measuring the depth and breadth of the
holes or wells in which they grow, because
it would be dangerous for pedestrians tC
honey-combed like a western miners
placer.-Grenada Sentinel.
1t is proper to say that DR.. Stack
house wrote circumference" but
some journals have natural pen
chant for stretching the blanket,
and the Baptist Record of this city,
put it out Fifteen inches in diameter" "
The circumference version of DR..
Stacks onion story is a sufficient
strain on Christian credulity, but
when the Record gravely asserts that
the onion was fifteen inches in dame
ter, it must expect to meet difficulty
in finding anybody to believe the
statement. However, if the Record
can always get as close to the truth
as this-within thirty-three and
third degrees of tit will, perhaps,
still hold itself within the range of
1t is possible that the
Record man may have smelt onions
fifteen inches in diameter, but he
ought not to try to palm off upon
public that he ever Saa0 one
rs thick through as that.
There is one thing, however, which
may be said in eXtenuation of this eX-
sensational onion statement
Of the Record. The Record Office is
located next door to Henry Muller's |
saloon, and, we are informed, that
concoctions sometimes have |
/ bewildering eflect-a sort Of "three
heets in the wind tendency. This /
it may turn out, is the
rue inspiration of the marvellous
growth of the onion. If so, the public
will hold the Record innocent of any
malicious intent to deceive them.

The New Orleans Times pertinent
ly remarks: General Garfield will,
no doubt, in due time, publish an in
genious and plausible defence to the
charges which connected him with
the Credit Mobilier, De Go'yer and
other jobs, but how will the New
York Times, which now gives Gener-
al Garfield its hearty support, explain
satisfactorily what it said about him
in an editorial article on the 10Th Of
February, 1873. At that time the
Times said:
"Of the members referred to Messrs
Kelly and Garfield present a most
distressing figure. Their participa-
ton i'm the Credit Mobilier affair is
complicated by the most unfortunate
of testimony which the
do not undertake TO unrav-
el. The only possible comment on
their cases is that had they taken a
perfectly upright course in the matter
and refused to have anything to do
with the stock no occasion for CONTRA
diction could have arisen."
Is the figure which General Gar
field now presents less distressing
than it was then.

THE government clerk is astounded
at the way in which the campaign has
opened. Already voluntary contribu-
tions have been demanded in the vari-
Gus departments to get money to pay
for the reception and serenade to Gar
field when he gets to Washington.
There is beginning to be hope that
the campaign will not stay open in
lust that way all summer.

IT has been discovered that Garfield
and Arthur taught school in the same
school house, in North Pownal, Yer
mont, when they were very young
men. That is the reason, perhaps,
why they were put on the same ticket,
There doesn't seem to be any other
way to account for the relation into
which they have been brought. They
will now both be taught and synoni-
mously walloped by the same Demo-
cratic perceptor.

IT seems that Garfieldis plagiarist
as well as a back-pay grabber. In
his speech nominating Sherman at
Chicago, he used this sentence: 1t
is from the level of the sea from which
all heights and depths are measured.,'
John Smith is authority for the state
ment that Henry Winter Davis was
theauthor Of the sentence. 1t appears
in one of his speeches, delivered i'm
Congress many years ago. The John
Smith who furnishes this information
lives in Chicago. We are particular
about the place Of residence in order
to prevent the other John Smith from
the credit Of the discovery
n. o. Times.

ALL the Federal of1ice-holders are
called on for contribution to the Re.
publican campaign corruption fund,
and they are assured that "volun-
tary contribution, (Which is speciti-
cally named, will not be offensive to
any civil service reform views of the

the voluntary contribution or not,
just as they choose. 1t is not a tax
upon them. The specified sum is not
demanded. Oh, no! They can with
hold it, and lose their places, or pOney

REV. MR.. GARFIELD.
NOT "CampbcIIite," but Il Miuister
OF the Christian Church.

In our biography ofparson Garfield
given in the COMET Immediately after
his nomination for the Presidency
(which was stroke Of enterprise
characteristic of The CoMET)-we set
MN down as a man who had been a
minister, but who had afterwards
backslided as he Sided into the Credit
Mobilier, De Gollyerism and Back
Grabbery. The Northern papers of
the Stalwart persuasion disputed the
accuracy of The COMETS biography,
and contended that their nominee
never had been a preacher, and,
therefore, had never fallen from grace.
Below we reproduce an orthodox
statement from the Cleveland (Ohio)
Leader-a Garfield organ-which sus-
tains the COMETS biography and
fOrtifies its conclusions about Garfield.
To the Editor Of the Leader;
You say in to-day's LEADER that Gen.
Garfleld was not clergyman, but clay
member of the Campbellite Church." &c.
The General, | am quite sure, will not
appreciate very highly this statement, for
IL Is simply not true: The JACKSON COMET
Is right. lie never has been, is not now,
and probably never will be, a member of
any such church. He is worthy and re-
spected member Of the "Discipe" or Chris
tan church; no less; no more. That church |
has somtime in the days of Mechanism |
been stlgmatizingly called Campbelite, etc;
H.. phIIrph " a n1 : NnN ifrht tS
"Ranters." etc; the Baptists called dip
pers," "Plungers," etc; the Presbyterans
called "Burgers," "Anti-Burgers," ''Bluc
Stockings" etc. General Garfield was Il
regular, able, and highly respected minister
ofthe Christian Church, holding success
full meetings, dedicating churches, etc. till
called alike from the pulpit and professors
chair to render service to the State and
Nation, where he has been no less faithful;
no less respected. Ever true to the digni-
ty OF his Christian profession, he is loved
and respected by all the church of which
he is so distinguished u member, and by
many, many others.

The Negro ExOdus-speech OF Senator
Lamar.

The New York Herald special cor
respondent thus mentions Senator
Lamar's speech delivered in the SEN
ate last Monday:
Mr.. Lamar made thoughtful and
sensible speech on the negro exodus
question. He said that if labor was
needed in the North and obtainable
in the South he thought it eminently
useful and proper that the demand
should be supplied, and further, even
, if the migration Of the cOlored people
were not in obedience to such a natural
demand, but if they, had been induced
to remove by Misrepresentation and
efforts more political than industrial,
as he found reason in the investiga-
ton to believe, still he held that while
there might be suffering among those
who were thus misled, on the whole
the change would be TO their benefit
as a class, but he held that they
were not forced to migrate. He said
that he himself knew of many negroes
who had acquired property and never
knew of one who lacked food, and
read extracts from statements of
Bishop Simpson, Rev. DR.. Hatfield,
and Rev. Dr. Talmage, who had re-
Gently visited the Southern States and
who, being well known friends of
the negro, testified to their COM
fort, prosperity and peaceable enjoy
ment of all their rights. He quoted |
also Gen. Grants Cairo speech and |
closed by showing that laws in the |
Southern States give the negro a
special and prior lien on the crops he
cultivates. He asked that the negro |
be left, like every American, free TO
act for his own good and that the
South be no longer worried and
disturbed by men who never took the
trouble to visit it and see for them
selves what they constantly spoke
about. Mr.. Lamat's speech was lis
tened to with close attention by both
sides of the Senate, and his citations
from eminent Northern divines were
very effective.

night a horrible deed was committed
at Newbern, OH the Greensboro and

cumstances the belief is he was killed

THE speech delivered by Capt. Thos.
H. Woods, at Meridian before the
Liberty Female College of Glasgow,
Kentucky, published in full in the
Glasgow Times and the Courier Jour
nal, we consider one of the ablest and
most adroit presentations of the great
question of Woman's Rights which
we have noticed. If he had never
done anything else this address
would entitle Capt. Woods to one of
the highest places among the truly
logical and advanced thinkers and
reasOners of the age.

| saw the Great Man eat to-day
With form erect and tall,
l saw him stalk with pOmUOus walk
AdOwn the dinng-hall
With motion grand he waved his hand
Without word or sound,
The dusky walters round him rose,
Like mushrooms from the ground.
As cold and silent as clam,
He sank into his chair,
And munched his mutton and his ham
With majestic air
His look WAS stern, his gaze was bold,
And 1t seemed strange to me
How one great man could gulp and hold
As many things AZ he.
l thought how odd it must have seemed
To see him nimbly run,
When such little man as Sprague
Pursued him with gun.

FLEA,S

Oh the fleas !! the bothcrsome ncus,
Why can't they leave a body in ease!
They tickle and bite and tear
and tease,
These hateful, horrid
hopping llcas.
Oh the feas the seal brown fleas,
How they sit on fellows knees.
How content they take their ease
These skipping, dancing, jolly
tleas.
Oh the fcas the busy tleas,
Much more busy than
old time bees,
They teach Us lesson of tad@strie,
Does this little mite of
biting flea.
