rem COUNTY FIELD.


Cincinnati, April 2.-Great excitement prevails
in Warren county, caused by the discovery yes
terday evening" in field on the farm Of Samuel
Hardy, near the Shaker Village, Of "a human skel-
etOn. man was plOWing and uncovered what
he thought was a root but on examination found
1t TO be rubber boot and that 1t was on the foot
of dead body. To day Coroner Carey and 9th
ers took the body out of the ground. 1t had been
buried but little distance below the surface but
so long ago that 1t was entirely unrecognizable
The body was buried iu Its clothing, which was
not wholly deComposed. Along with 1t were
found a double barrelled shotgun, pencils, keys
and a w other articles, but no money. The mys,
terry was apparently impenetrable, for nobody
could remem Der Of any one missing in that local
ity.
This evening, however Mrs William Griffith,
who lives near the Hardy farm, examined the
clothing and gun, and other articles found with
the body, and recognized them as belonging to

trio old party who assaulted ex.secretary DelRno

imprisonment and one thousand dollars fine. The
old gentleman was taken 10 jail on Saturday, and
h9 told the Warden he wanted the best room in
the house with first class board for month. II
at once sent for wine and cigars, and remarked
that he should take his confinement as comfort
ably as possible, but he would be eternally
blanked before he would pay dollar of the fine,
He protested 1t was no disgrace to go to jail for
clubbing Columbus Delano ard his only regret
was that be hadn't whacked him again. Mr.
Wright is an elderly man, and much sympathy is
exp ,essed for him although his attack upon
Delano was entirely urcalled for. On Sunday he

THE PAPER TARIFF.
Hon. Joseph Medllrs Letter to the Ways and
Means Committee.
[Washinpton Snecial1


washington speciall
Hon. Joseph Medill, Of the Chicago Tribune, has
written letter to the Ways and Means Commit.
toe on the paper question He says the sudden
rise in the price Of paper has filled the minds Of
publishers with alarm. The paper makers meet
monthly, and vote further increase prices, and
pour in memorials in Congress representing that
the newspaper business is so hOurishng that 1t
can stand anything without being ruined. They
mention however, only the stronger papers, and
not the ninety and publishers who are
driven to the wall by them, Mr.. Medill's points
are:
First-That this is 2 case where two classes OF
manufacturers ask Congress TO discriminate
against third class who cannot throw off the
burden OF loss on the public as other dealers can,
but must sustain 1t all; II they raise their price
they lose their subscribers; If tney reduce the
size of their sheets they crowd out advertisers or
make their papers unsatisfactory to readers.
SecOnd-lt is not the policy OF protection to en-
able one class Of manufacturers, to devOuT an.
other, publishers being manufacturers and they
give employment TO ten times as many opera
tiVes as pulp and paper makers, and that artif-
Cial increase In price OF paper must necessarily
affect the salaries Of all their employees.
Third-NeWspaper publishers have no pr0teC'
ton and only ask 20 be relieved Of an unneces.
saIy, remorseless, burdensome and damaging
tax imposed for the emolument OF paper max.
eTs.
Fourth-Paper can be manufactured here
cheaper than any where else in the world, and
therefore stands least in need of protection.
Fifth-Paper being bulky, freight Is prOpor-
tiOnately large, and therefore our home paper
mills have a natural protection against foreign
competition.
sixth-It has been the policy of Congress to
permit manufacturers to import their raw mate
rial free Of duty. This Is not true Of paper and
pulp makers.
seventh-Why should not raw material used
by publishers be put on the free list; why does
Congress discriminate against publishers

secured. Hammaland states The intimacy had
continued for the past year, and he felt obliged
to commit the deed. 1t is known that he had
been fully aware Of the nature Of the Intimacy,
and had apparently acquiesced in 1t even to the
extent OF frequently sharing the same room with
the guilty party.

London, April 5.-The Opposition has a clear

Queen is expected between the 10th and 22d of

5000 Conservative.
The Times, referring to the situation 10 Afg.
hanistan, says: I'm India, as here, something
like interregnum must prevail until the impend
ing changes have been made. Lord Lytton
Vceroy has been so entirely identified with the
present Government and has so fully committed
himselfto its plan, that his prolonged tenure of
office Is as little possible as 1t is desirable The
only doubt is whe ther he will wait to be recalled
or will anticipate by his own act the result he
can scarcely hope to avoid The name of Lord
Northbro formerly Governor General of India,
suggests itself as Lord Lytton's successor, but
Lord Northbrook does not wish to return to mis-
old post. There is less room for doubt regarding
the instructions the new VicerOy will take with
him. The place will be made with the least
possible disturbance Of our normal relations with
Afghanistan. II our lines must at any point be
advanced, IT, as is likely, there must be some an.
nexstOn Of territory, what is done will be done
with the solemn view to the safety of, India. We
shall hear no more Of the prCject68 Cession of
Herat to persia, and OF entangling the allowance
which must have attended it,"
The Times says as BOON as the Queen returns to
England the Ministers will doubtless place their
designations in her hands, and she W i'll commits
sion the leader of the Liberals to form cabinet.
