 young lady is taken away from large circle
 of friends, from pleasant associations of life
 to which youth so ardently clings- Yet when this young lady was called to give up her earthly home and loved parents, brothers and sisters, she resigned with cheer full obedience, and spoke often of her new home above, and made all arrangements for her departure, desiring to serve the will of her heavenly Father.

 Death of Mrs. Edward Malley.
 After an illness of several months duration Mrs MalIey, the beloved wife of MT. Edward MalIey, passed away at about eleven o'clock yesterday morning. In her death an amiable, affectionate and estimable wife and mother has been called hence. The deceased went South with MT. Malley on his recent trip. which was taken in the hope that her health would thereby improve, but she returned without the much-desired object having been gained, and had been gradually but surely failing despite all that wealth, tho tenderest affection and the highest medical skill could accomplish in her behalf. She will be much missed and mourned by large circle of de- voted friends, and beyond the immediate home and family circle she leaves many who will deeply mourn her death as that of kind, affectionate benefactor gone, and call to mind many deeds of generosity and benevolence.

HER COURAGE FAILED
The Young Woman who Went Away to

The Young Woman who Went Away to XIII
Herself Back in Her Homo Again.
The young woman whose disappearance
from her home in New York, after threat
of suicide, was published recently, returned
Monday in safety. Sne sent note in the
morning to the detective agency engaged
in search of her, and later in the day she
visited the agency in company with her
father and told the story of her wander
ings. She said she quilted home fully bent
upon suicide, and got aboard a Staten Island
ferry-boat on Thursday night with the in
tention of drowning herself in the bay.
When the boat got under way she
went aft to leap over the rail, but after
gazing at the dark waters her courage
failed, and she remained ON the boat until
it reached Staten Island. She went
ashore, she said, and wandered about in
some town whose name she did not know.
She was still determined on self-destructiOn,
and thought at last that her nerve would
not fail her. She got aboard boat that
was starting for New York, but at the
critical moment her resolution failed again.
When she arrived in New York she says
she went to a small hotel to plan some
other mode of suicide. There she saw in
a newspaper an advertisement offering 500
reward for her. The advertisement gave
her name as Sarah Joyce, a fictitious name
but she recognized the description Of her
person. Her first thought, she said, was
to disguise herself as much as possible
to escape detection. She bought a
bottle Of hair dye and brush
in neighboring drug store, and in few
hours the "bright red hair" mentioned in
the advertisement was changed to brown

Dfscredtting their Witness.

Judge Black has ceased to be an au-

have kept a fragment of his opinion of

Garfield as congressman who swOrt

FINDING LOST DIAMONDS.
Mrs. Hanna's Discovery After Her Cham
bermaid'S Arrest.

Mrs. Hanna's Discovery After Her Cham
bermaid's Arrest.
Mrs. 4. E. Hanna, who, OH Thursday
last. missed her $40O set of diamonds from
tho bedroom of her residence in Schermer-
horn street, Brooklyn, and then caused
the arrest of her chambermaid, Louisa
Eckert, aged 10, daughter Of ex-Alderman
Eckert, formerly Rockaway hotel keep
er, yesterday sent word to Police Superin-
tendent Campbell that she had found the
diamonds on the top of the window sash OF
her room. Mrs. Hanna put her diamonds
under her pillow when she went to sleep,
but she missed them them the next morn
ing after Louisa Eckert had made the bed,
and when she inquired about them the
girl said that she took them from the bed
and placed them upon the mantlepiece or
upon the bureau, she could not tell which.
After thorough search the diamonds
were not found and the chambermaid was
arrested.
Miss Eclert is bright, intelligent
young woman. She formerly assisted her
father at his hotel in ROckaway. She was
taken to the police station and then to
police headquarters. She protested her
innocence, but Superintendent Campbell
told her that as she was the last person
who had seen the diamonds, if Mrs. Han
M pressed the charge, she might have to
go to prison. The girl broke into tears.
and continued to protest her innocence.
care you willing to search for the
diamonds yourself?' asked the chief of
police.
Certainly" said she,
The superintendent then directed pO-
liceman, instead of taking the girl to court,
to 20 to Mrs. Hanna's residence with her,
and to permit her to move freely about in
search of the diamonds, but not to intrude
upon her. Mrs. Hanna was also requested
to give the girl free range of the rooms in
her search.
"You knOw," said the chief Of police,
" that these articles, being small, are apt
to get into corners you least expect, and
this girl probably knows more about the
house than you do"
Miss Eckert went with the policeman,
and was permitted to search for the dia-
monds as closely as Mrs. Hanua had done.
but she did not find them. After Miss
Eckert went to court Mrs. Hanna found
the diamonds upon the top of window
sash, which, she says, in the use of the
room she had raised and lowered many
times. Having recovered her property
she would not press the complaint of grand
larceny against the girl, and Justice Bloom
discharged her.

Thus Jack Hiestand Writes to His Paper
"Indiana is not so necessary to Repub-:
lican success in November that it should
be carried in October, but it is Demo-
cratic necessity. as the loss of it would
give them a Waterloo in New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut in November.
New York is regarded as more certain
to 20 for Garfield with or without In
diana in October, than Indiana is, even
in October. With an honest vote, a fair
count, no buying of voters on election day
and no colonization of voters from Ken,
lucky, Indiana is Republican by hand
some vote. But all the power of the solid
South in money and votes will be felt here.
St. Louis, Louisville and the whole South
are collecting money to be sent here. The
South is fixed and all her energies are
now turned to subduing the North. In
diana is to be made certain and Ohio
doubtful in October. Indiana is almost as
much at the mercy of the South to-day, as
was the South and Lee at 'Appomattox
and its famous apple tree"

AT the meeting in Mentor yesterday

AT the meeting in Mentor yesterday
General Grant is reported to have said !:
There is not a precinct in this vast ma
tion where a Democrat cannot cast bis bal
lot and have it counted as cast. No mat
ter what the prominence of the opposition
be, he can proclaim his political opinions,
even if he is only one among thousand,
without fear and without prescription ON
account of his opinions. There are four
teen states, and localities in somo other
states where Republicans have not this
privilege.
OF course Commodore Hiestand was
not present as he expected to he, or he
would have corrected the proofs of
Grants speech. He would have told him
that in this great Republican county of
Lancaster-as the Republican papers
here agree-the Republican factions,
holding primaries under the general cleo
tion law, cheat each other by wholesale
at every primary, and doing this among
themselves, they will do it against the
Democrats whenever they are not
afraid of being sent to iail.

The court house was well filed last even
ing by a crowd assembled to hear Hon.
Thomas Nj. Marshall, who was extensively
advertised as being the "great orator Of
western Pennsylvania" There is no tell
ing how great an orator Mr.. Marshall may
be from his address last evening, because
unfortunately he had q very poor subject
to talk about. 1t is an uphill business for
any one, however able, to uphold and de-
fend the shortcomings Of the Republican
party and the proved dishonesty of it's can
didates, Garfield and Arthur, and it is
equally difficult to find good ground of
complaint against the Democratic party or
it's distinguished candidates.; hence Mr..
Marshall had no opportunity of showing
himself to advantage. He of course
waved the bloody shirt vigorously, de-
nounced the Southern people unsparingly,
charged them with all manner of crimes
from murder down, cOntrasted their shift
less lazy way Of living with the thrift
and enterprise of the North, but
the moment he touched politics he ap-
peared to feel that he was getting into
deep water and prudently waded out and
amused his hearers with an anecdOte. In
deed the only hearty applause he received
was when he repeated humorous stories that
have been better told many time before.
He wisely refrained from attempting to
defend Garfield from the DeGOyler bribe,
the Credidt MObilier steal, the back pay
grab. and the other crooked transactions
in which he hos been engaged; and
every shaft he hurled against Hancock's
inpregnable armOr bounded back to his
own discontinue, and the worst he could
say against him was that he was an excel
lent soldier, had done the state eminent
service, but that he was Democrat, with
out civil record and would be made use of
by Democratic leaders to carry out Demo-
cratic principles. Mr.. Marshall in person.
al appearance, manner, voice and argu-
ment, fell far short of what was expected

In a letter to the New York Tribune,
Rev. DR.. w. Cummings says that B. F..
Perry, late provisional governor of South
Carolina, in recent address, said: The
return of the Republican party to power
in South Carolina must be pre-
vented, let the consequences be
what they may" After this the rev.
erend doctor gives a long list of murders
and outrages that have been sanctioned
by Gov. Perry and his associates.
This is a remarkable letter. Here are
facts:
DR.. Cummings, under the Patterson,
Chamberlain & Co. government, was
president of the South Carolina college.
He managed to drive off all the students
but drew his pay until a new order of
things was brought about in 1876. The
doctor then left.
B. F. Perry lives in Greenville, S. C.
He is an old man of high character. He
was before and during the war an open
and avOwed Unionist. Like James L.
Pettigrew, his great ability and high
personal character endeared him to the
people in spite of his politics. He was
appointed, after the war, provisional
governor of South Carolina, and this was
approved by the Senate. He discharged
his duties to the entire satisfaction of al
parties.
Is it probable that g B. +. Perry, late
provisional governor, in the retirement
of his honorable old age) would be guilty
of such villainy as DR.. Cummings de

The Examiner complains that we dc
not give our authority for the statement
of Lincoln's opinion of Hancock which

when we first published the fact, that we
stated it upon the authority Of Mr.. James
McDougal, a prominent merchant Of
Baltimore and a Republican, who com.
municated it during the summer to Mr..
Steinman at Bedford Springs. Consider
ing it's reputable and Republican source
there is no ground for the imputation
that it is g campaign invention" Mr..

The Republicans affect to give up In
diana, partly because they want to break
the force of their fall and partly to lull
the Democracy there into an inactivity
of which the opposition expect to take
advantage during the last days of the
campaign. Neither device will succeed.
The Democratic management will relax
no effort. They will see that the state is
carried and the people of the country
will properly weigh the significance of the
result.

Very Brazcn.

General Grant has been delivering
a speech in Ohio for the purpose, he says,
of declaring why he is Republican. One
reason he gives is that every Democrat
in the land can vote and have his ballot
counted while in fourteen states and i'm
localities in others Republican voters do
not have this privilege. In view of the
stealing of the presidency by Hayes with
Grants help, and the notorious ballot
box frauds that have been practised
against the Democrats in Pennsylvania
and many other localities, this is q
very brazen declaration from Grant.
AS another reason, he states that the
Republican party assures the payment of
government, State, county and num-
cipality debts, which the Democratic
party does not. Again, in view of the
fact that the Republican party in Mime
sofa repudiated the state debt. and that
now in Virginia it is allied with those
who seek to overthrow the regular Demo-
cratic organization upon no other issue
but its declaration i'm favor of the pay
ment Of the state debt, this is u brazen
assertion.
That the Republican party is in favor
of lettering the condition of the poor
and of education, and the Democratic
party is opposed thereto, is a third rea-
son Grant gives for his Republicanism !;
but the fact he states does not accord
with the Democratic record of devotion
to the interests and education of the many
and the Republican legislation in favor
CT the interests of corporations and mo-
nOpolies which has been the bane of the
country and which has robbed it of mil
lions of dollars from the treasury and of
acres from the public lands. Gen. Grant
speaks as partisan and with a prejudice
and lack OF truth that will give his words
no value to the thinking voter. He
would have done better to have avoided
giving his reasons for his Republican,
ism whereupon he might have had
a credit and influence for his conclusion
that his reasons rob it of.

The attempt of the Netc kra 5 editor
to Justify his Justification Of history by
reference to Appletoh's Cyclopedia Is
most of all indefensible, because he, OF
all men, knows how fallible that Cyclic
pedia is. For instance, in the XVI.
volume of the edition Of 1868, in the list
of contributors, appears the name of
ssRev. J. NJ. w. Geist, Lancaster, Penn. y
Now we all know that, however well he
merits clerical orders and honOrs, the
editor of our esteemed contemporary has
never been awarded, and still less has he
ever claimed them. An authority which
does such discredit to his modesty should
not be held by him to be final on matters
of personal or military history.
