Hon y. W. Throckmorton.

This distinguished gentleman de-
liyered an address on the political is
sues of the day at the court house,
ON Friday last. to large and alton
tive audience. Were it practical, we
could not better serve our readers
than to publish his entire speech. 1t
was argumentative and easy of COM
prehension, eloquent and unanswer-
able. A synopsis would convey no
Just and adequate idea of the speech.
He surpassed the, expectations of his
friends, of when he has many here
abouts, and most agreeably disap-
pointed those who had not known
him before. It is not our habit TO
deal in superlatives, but we believe
that no man has ever spoken here
who has left SO good an impression
as Thu ockmorton. He has the Won
derful faculty of condensation wjllI-
Out obscurity, and ofsaying the most
eloquent things without the least ef-
fort or consciousness of the effect
they will produce. There was also
the most unusual freedom from egot-
ism. But few capital rs would be
necessary N report OF his entire
speech. Nob-a single reference did
he make TO his ewn achievements, or
his work IN behalf o. the people Of
the state whom he has so often and
SO faithfully served, The discussion
ofhnancial issues, the tariff and other
important questions was convincing,
and lis comparison of the principles
of the Democratic and Republican
parties, the picture of Garfield and
Haneoc4s, the arraignment Of the
former and glowing tribute to the
latter, were surprisingly eloquent.
We have paid this simple tribute TO
q man who has so often and so
well served his country, because
Il is deserved and beeauee we think
il viii be detrimcnt TO the people
should they fail when an opportunity
offers, to continue him in the service
of the Beltoa Journal.

that perhaps Frank Waldron's story
might be true. Well, at last confess
sion that he bad wilfully killed Mr..
Meredith was forced from John Noble.
1t was he, OF course that had placed
Franks hat in the apartment were II
was found.
Frank was at once released, and
shortly afterward John Noble paid the
penalty Of his crime upon the scafiold.
Mr.. Meredith had made no will, SO
Mrs Waldron, being his only relative,
inherited all his property.
Though they had suffered much for
the sake Of the love they entertained for
each other, the future of Frank and his
wife, from the day she became an heir
ess, was bright and happy.

strange story from his supposed sister,
determined to goto Steuben countysat
once and fathom the mystery. Arriv-
Ing there, he inquired for o family of
the name of Trlford. He was directed
to their residence. Knocking at the
door, he was admitted and invited to
take seat. This he did, asking numer-
Gus questions regarding the surrounding
country, the crops, etc., the lady cycling
him closely all the while. Finally he
asked:
"Dld you not lose boy some years
since ?"
Yes" replied the lady, and tears
unbidden came to her eyes, "and I
would give anything In the world l
possess to find him." Another look at
the stranger, and with mothers quick
instinct she threw her arms around him,
folded him close In her loving arms,
saying, +" My child, my child My long
lost child, have found you at last.''
When the lady had recovered her self
possession sufficiently, the boy's story
was told, and his identity established
beyond doubt, one of the strongest
proofs being scar on his face. The
news rapidly spread to the neighbor-
hood, and hundreds of persons fiocked
to see him, and for some time lie was
the lion of the nelghborhood.
Mr.. Trlford came back to this county
a few days ago, settled up his business
and returned to Steuben county, here
after to live with his real mother and
sister, from whom he was so long and
cruelty separated, and to take charge of
his mothers large farm, on which she
resides. This Is indeed romance in

Took at His Word.

Many years ago an English voter who
possessed influence asked the candidate
to give his son letter of recommenda-
tion to an official at the Admiralty. The
request was granted, but when the youth
called to deliver his credentials he found
he had mislaid the precious epistle.
However, he succeeded in obtaining a
nomination, and some weeks after his
return home discovered the lost "letter
of recommendation" among some
papers. Having done without it he had
the curiosity to open it, and was startled
to find 1t contained an earnest injunc-
ton to throw every obstacle in his
way" for, as the writer added, " CAN
not disoblige this youths father, and il
he once enters the navy he will be
plaguing my life out to get him ship"
The young man was furious, but the
father, practical minded man, coolly
remarked, g 1t is not worth making a
disturbance; we will take him at his
word and plague for ship which was
done accordingly with success.

He Believed in the Old Fashioned He'll.

The Rev. DIR. Williamson, of the First
Methodist Church of Chicago found that
his congregation were relaxing their be-
lief in hell of literal fire. He there
fore preached last Sunday on the subject,
making the following points; l. That
if those Scriptures that relate with such
apparent clearness to the fact of an end
less hell are meaningless, no other part
of the Bible can be depended upon 2.
That unless men dying in sin are DOOM
ed to awful and endless suffering, the
humiliation of Pilates court, the agony
in the garden, and the final, bitter expi-
alton on Calvary must be regarded as
means utterly disproportioned to the
end to be accomplished: 8. That, If BIZ
BILE language was written to be read, and
If, like all other speech, it means any
thing, SO plain and SO repeated are its
statements on this subject there can be
no doubt that an awful and eternal real
ity of punishment for unpardoned sin
ners exists in the universe of God; A.
That hell is definite locality; 8. That
the torture of hell is by literal and end
less fire.
