penned by man, declined to be can
didate for denomination at Cincin>
natl. THE noble, self-sacridcing
spirit stamps him as one of the most
urOel6sh patriots of his day, show
ing conclusiVely, that instead of be-
ing The designing politician, that he
Is Just the opposite, and that the
people through his silence have mis-
understood him altogether. He is
not like the infamous John Kelley,
determined to rule or ruin, bu. &C.
tuated by purer and nobler motives,
is willing to sacrifice personal feel
ings and a sense of deep wrong, TO
prevent divisions and secure success
to the Democratic party. The let>
ter does credit to the head and heart
of Mr.. TiIden and has made him
friends throughout this Union.

Nor many years ago, Mrs. Har~
riet Beecher Stowe, in a series OF
letters, attempted to cast reproach
upon the domestic life of Lord By
ron, but as all will remember all of
sudde her letters came to a close,
and nothing more was heard Of By
ron through this channel. At the
time we were credibly informed that
10000 copies of ByroL's works sold
in New York 10 one week, and that
the whole thing was gotten up for
that very purpose, In this coonec-
ton the fanatic C0mstock seem' to
be doing his share towards advertls-
ing certain publications, and by bis
inability to discriminate between ob

practical, does as much harm as good
IN his crusade against icentious-
ness. Accounts all agree that his
! last raid against French novel has

rather than retard it, and that in no

MuRDERERs' BOOTY.

MCKEEsPoRT, Pa, June 18th In
1886 al aged couple named George
and Betsey McMasters lived in a
small house or the river bank at this
place. /. was well known that they
kept in their house large sum of
money in gold and silver. One
morning 10 the abov year they were
found murdered 10 their house, Their
treasure was gone. Henry Fife,
Charlotte Jones aud Monroe Stewart
were arrested on suspicion of being
the murder rs The evidence against
them was so conclusive that they
were convicted aud sentenced to be
hanged Monroe Stewart died of
small pox Lefore the day set for the
hanging Henry Fife and Charlotte
Jones were hanged Fife made a
confession, in which he said that
Mrs. Jones and himself where guilty,
but that Stewart had nothing to do
with the murder. The money they
ohtai. ed from the house, be said
they buried 10 the river bank at
different places. Although search
was made from time to time for the
hiding places of the coin, meme could
be found. On Tuesday last little
sou of Washington Taylor Of Nc
Keesport was playing with a com,
psnion along the river at The loot of
Fourth street. In digging a cave in
the bank the Taylor boy saw q silver
coin 10 shoveIful Of sand he threw
ont The boys thought there might
be more money in the banks and
searched for it. They uncovered
two hatSfnls Of GOLD end silver coin
On their way tn their home with
their treasure the boys ~ere met by
tramp, who noticed their hats
was very heavy, and compelled
them to show him what it was. On
seeing the coin he said the money
belonged to him, and ordered the
boys to give it up at once They
we're SO frightened that they handed
their hats over to thu man and ran
away. Young Taylor had placed
two Of the coins 10 his pocket before
meeting the stranger. He told his
father what had happened. The
two coins he had bore evidence of
having been 10 the ground long
time. They were silver dollars. Ii
yas at one time believed that the
coin found by the boys was part of
the treasure stolen from George and
Betsey McMasters and buried by
the murderers. Mr.. Taylor laid the
case before Justice of the Peace

SENATOR Browns first political
speech produced profound impress

pensioning the veterans of the Mex
lean war, say s: THE new Senator
from Georgia made his maiden polt~
zeal speech in the Senate, and il was

Governor Brown among the first de-
baters of the Senate. lie took COnk
ling to task for saying that Southern
Senators held their seats by grace of
those who had been on the side OF
the Union during the war. He in
sisted that they were in the Senate
by right and because the Constitu
ton declares that each State shall be
represented there by TWO Senators.
If the Republicans had prevented
that representation they would have
dissolved the Union by denying
States what The Cons tuition of the
country gave them. He WAS enabled
by an importune question but by
Mr., Kirk wood to declare his belief
that the doctrine Of secession had
been put to an end, and forever, by
The war. The speech produced

curious census stories of how certain

and kicked down stairs by irate wo
men for daring to ask their ages

that Sarah Jane McGrath, a young
married woman. of New York, who
refused to give her age. The emu
merator threatened her with the law
ard departed, saying he was about
to make charge against her. This
so terrified Mrs McGrath that she
committed suicide by leaping into
