disposal his personal memoranda, cores

such facilities the work will be absolutely
full and authentic, the standard on the sub.

As bographer, Col. Forney will be to
Gen. Hancock what Boswell was to John

out with degree Of ability and grace that
will place it In the front rank of American

The career of the brilliant soldier with
an army record extending through 80 years,
is worthy of such pen. 1t is full of event
and is soon to be crowned by the more i'm

AROUND THE WORLD.

A JOURNEY AROUND THE GLOBE TO BE UN-
DERTAKEN BY COMPANY OF EvANGEL-
lists.
New York Sun.
A recS .i6h was given In the Asbury
Methodist Episcopal church in Washington
square, last evening, to the Rev. and Mrs.
John S. Inskip, who are about to make the
tour of the world as evangelsts. With them
are the Rev. John A. Wood and wife and
Mr.. McDough. After each Of the travellers
had addressed the congregation, the Ohio
quartet and one hundred other persons
from the Round Lake camp meeting associ-
alton sang. The party will sail for Liver
pool on Saturday on the steamer Erie.
From England they will journey to Bonn
bay, whence complete tabernacle
made Of wood has preceded them
on sailing boat. This tab
ernacle, Mr.. Inskip says, the party will take
with them all through India. The Rev.
Mr.. Inskip was an itincrant minister for
thirty-three years, but the past ten years he
has been an evangelist. Mr.. Wood has
presided over a congregational church IN
Massachusetts,.
Mrs. Inskip said she was too old TO make
such trip, but she had been called to
make it, and had decided to do so. She
had asked her husband to have her body
brought home if she had died abroad, and
buried in Greenwood cemetery.
Such travelling band of lunatlcs will
make our religion ridiculous in the eyes of
the old world. They have been "called"
to make such trip only by their fanati-
cism. Mrs. Inskip should be buried in
Greenwood cemetery before she starts

GARFIELD AT HOME.
From ST. Louis Republican.


The Cincinnati Enquirer has submitted
Gartield's tremendous popularity" in his
own district to the test Of figures, and the
result is somewhat interesting. In 1872 he
was elected to congress by vote Of 10,lS0
against SPAS, given the Democratic candi-
date-'a majority Of 1894. In 1873 &C.
Cured the little unpleasantness Of the
Credit Mobilier, and in 1874 it made itself
felt by reducing Garfeld's vote 0,50s. At
the same time in the counties composing
the district the Republican candidate for
secretary Of state received 19,202 against
1913 for the Democratic nominee. The
party vote increased, but Garfeld's
diminished nearly 7,0O0-a woful
falling of, indeed. In 1876
the presidential contest help
ed him somewhat, but he still, in his dis
trict; ran 2,543 votes behind Hayes. In 1878
his vote dropped to l7,167, while the op.
position polled l0,7Ol majority Of GAGS
against 1904 in 1872.
1t would seem, then, that the much boast.
ed strength of the Republican presidential
candidate lat home" has been steadily d.
minishing, being less by 4,470 votes in 1878
than 1t was in 1879. A heavy decline, GER
tainly, and mainly, il not entirely, due to
me scandals which the Republican press
insists have no foundation In fact, and are
repudiated by those who know him best. v
Figures give the lie to good many ingen-
ious theories.

FROM HANCOCK'S BIRTHPLACE.
Q.n,, pnttaytlla ID \ cta~Aa~a

L. W. Read, surgeon general, saws: "
am Republican, but Hancock will get my
vote, and there are thousands more like me.
Why, there is George Bullock, one of the
strongest Republicans in this county, the
owner of the immense mills Balligomingo;
in fact the owner Of the village. He has
thousands of employees, who live upon his
land, and to whom everything is provided
in the way of necessities-yes, and luxuries
of life. He, in word, is philanthropist
in the true sense of the word, and yields an
immense influence. He is radical Re-
publican, but he has announced his determ-
ination, if Hancock was nominated, to raise
Hancock flag on top of his mills, where it
should wave throughout the campaign.
Why, here, sitting right side of me, is G. F..
Nyce, Republican. Now what are you 60
Ing to do, Nyce?"
81 shall vote for Hancock" said Mr..
Nyce.
DR.. William Carson, one of the Oldest
citizens, though radical Republican, says
he thinks Hancock most admirable man
and one very hard to beat.

CATHOLIC OPINION.
THE TRUE VIEW OF THE EXECUTION OF MRS
SURRATT.
Boston Pilot (Catholic).


Boston Pilot (Catholc).
There is one point in the career of Gen
eral Hancock on which it may seem proper
that the Pilot should say special word,
albeit it is to refute as false and silly a
charge as ever emanated from the brain of
the widest scribbler in all Bohemia. 1t IS
the assertion that General Hancock has lost
favor among the Catholic part of our popu-
lation by his connection with the execution
of Mrs. Surratt and this sapient opinion is
based upon the fact that Mrs. Surratt was a
member of the Catholic church.
In the first place, it is proper to say that
General Hancock's connection with the at
fair was solely that of an officer obeying
his orders. Had we, or any other Catholic
in the world, been in Gen. Hencock's
place, our duty would have been to do as
he did, whether the condemned woman
were Catholic or Protestant, heather or in
fidel. A Catholic knows no distinction OF
creed in the performance of his duty; he
quarrels with no man for the execution of
his duty; he has no more sympathy for
man or woman put to death, justly or I'M
justly, because the victim IS Catholic,
than if he or she were of any other relig-
ion or no religion.
Herein the Pilot though no organ, be-
lieves 1t voices the opinion of common
sense and true religion. Catholics, of
course, laugh at the foolish idea that they
should bear ill will on religious grounds
any one connected, however closely, with
the execution of Catholic woman, but
there are great many fools in this world,
and very common specimen is the man
who supposes other people to be influenced
by ideas and ties which would have no
weight at all with himself in similar
case.
While we have very little respect for any
man who carries his religion into his poll
tics, we should have nothing but contempt
for the one who carried both into the sac
red halls Of justice and law.

FORNEY's LIFE OF GEN. HANCOCK


1t is singular fact that the most eulo-
CYSTIC and exhaustive campaign biography
Of Gen.. Hancock should be written by one
whose pen and tongue for years have done
the most signal service for the Republican
party. Col John W. Forney of Philadel-
phia. whose reputation as graceful and
forcible writer and man OF letters, is so
well known both in this country and Eu-
rope, pet Of Republican administrations,
and most Of the time an office holder for
20 years, has not only severed his connec-
tion with the Garfield crowd, but has
thrown all his ability and enthusiasm into
the campaign for the Democratic candidate.
The most important service Of which is q
full and exhaustive life of Gen. Hancock
II is destined to high rank as campaign
biography. Though differing in politics
the author and the subject have been int.
mate lifelong friends, and hence Col. For.
ney has personal knowledge Of most Of the
brilliant achievements Of Gen. Hancock
and Of all the circum stances connected
With them. Added to this Gen. Hancock

How an Elephant Was Weighed.

A N INDIAN writer relates an inter-
n esting anecdote concerning Shabjee,
the father Of the first ruling Prince of
the Mahrattas Of Hindoostan, who lived
at about the beginning of the seven
tenth century. On one occasion
certain high official made vow that he
would distribute TO the poor the weight
of his own elephant In silver money,
but the great difficulty that at first pre-
sented itself was the mode of ascertain
ing what this weight really was, and all
the learned and clever men OF the court
seemed to have endeavored In vain to
construct a machine of sufficient power
to weigh the elephant. At length 1t Is
said that Shabjee came forwvrd and
suggested plan which was simple and
yet ingenious in the highest degree. He
caused the unwieldly animal to be con-
Quoted along O stage, specially made for
the purpose by the water-side, into
flat bottOmed boat, and then, having
marked on the boat the height to which
the water reached after the elephant
had weighed 1t down, the latter was
taken out, and stones substituted in
sufficient quantity to load the boat to
the same line. The stones were then
taken to the scales, and thus to the
amazement Of the court, was ascertained
the true weight Of the elephant.

tallow candle partly consumed. The
presumption now was that the criminal
lived In the adjacent village, and j
thought 1t very likely that the half
burned candle, OF which took posses
sion, might funish the clue 10 his det9c.
tion. IL was what Is known as the old
fashioned dip, not much used in these
days; and my first steps were directed
to finding out In what families In the
village such candles were burned. II
was not long before was able TO Iden-
tify the locality; aud ascertalned that
the family occupying the house consist
ed of an aged couple, feeble and bed
ridden, and three sons. / also learned
that the young women OF the village had
received from these boys presents of
jewelry, which upon examination were
identified as having been part of the
murdered mans stock.
" next proceeded to search the house
and premises where the young men
lived, and after tumbling the hay out OF
the barn we found, concealed, the pack
which had belonged 10 the peddler. IL
was very certain that one or more of
these boys had committed the murder,
and submitted each of them to scru-
tiny In private. The result of this was
such as TO satisfy me that while the two
younger had received portion of the
plunder from the elder brother, he alone
was responsible for the murder He
was accordingly tried, convicted and
sentenced to the gallows. On the morn
ing Of his execution he acknowledged
his guilt, adding, with an oath, that he
would die game"
1t would seem as though this criminal
had at first efIectually concealed the
traces Of his crime, but farthing candle
revealed his footsteps, aud lighted the
way to his death.

Miss Fielding burst out laughing.
"They are cheerfully granted" said
she. "No, don't go away, Mr.. Caryl,"
holding out her hand as he was turning
to depart. II have learned that you
possess at least the virtue OF frankness.
Shall we not be friends 7"
And Mr.. Caryl looked into the dark

"Yes.n
He forgot all about the hot corn-bread
and strawberry. jam at home, and stayed
to tea at Mrs. Prune's, while the right
Sarah escaped the intended lecture, and
the wrong Sarah presided, in most
graceful and winning manner, behind
the cups and saucers; and old Mrs.
Caryl laughed heartily when her son
explained the curious reoontre TO her,
later In the evening.
"But why did she leave her situation
the wrong Sarah, mean 7" said she.
Because the young heir of the house
made love to her." said Mr. Caryl "and
i don't wonder at 1t. She's the prettiest
little creature / ever saw in my life."
Perhaps, them" said Mrs. Caryl,
doubtfully, your advice wasn't 80 very
much amlss, after all.
Certainly II was" said Mr. Caryl,
with spirit.
The old lady looked sharply at him.

you're struck with her."
"Nonsense ~ said Mr.. Caryl, turning
red.
But, just three months later, when the
moon was at the full, and sleighing
parties en- regte, Mr.. Caryl brought Miss
Fielding home from singing school, in
his new cutter, and told her secret on
the way--that he loved her.
And so the wrong Sarah was the right
Sarah, after all.

TRACING A MURDER.

A GENTLEMAN who Is now Judge
n of the Supreme Court, in one of
the western States, not long since related
to friend the following story which
shows how hard IL is for murderer to
destroy some trace Of crime:
"Some few years age, when held the
Office of District Attorney in the interior
Of the State of New York, man came
to my office one day, and stated that he
and his brother were engaged in the
business Of hawking or peddling jewel
ry, and that they had always been accus-
toned to meet at certain points on their
route, to compare notes and exchange
goods. For the first time since they
had begun to travel, his brother had
failed to keep his appointment and, as
he could find no trace of him in their
customary round, he had reason to fear
that he was murdered.
"After gathering all the information
from him could, collected large
posse of citizens and proceeded to make
thorough search of the whole region.
"In the course of two or three days
we came to retired spot, far from any
human habitation, where the appear
ances were such as to indicate that the
ground had been recently disturbed I;
and, on digging down few feet, we
found the body of the missing peddler.
Raising it to the surface, observed one
or more small black bugs crawling
about, which knew to be such as are
produced by animal decomposition but
as the dead body before me had not
begun to decay, knew they could not
have originated here. There also fell
from the pockets and crevises of the
dead mans clothing, little sand, while
the sod from which we had taken the
body was of a clayey nature, with no
sand mixed with it. 1, therefore, came
at once to the conclusion that this was
not the place where the body was orig
inally deposited; and we accordingly
renewed our explorations.
' In process of time we lighted upon
sandy region, just on the outskirts of
a little village, where again 1t was
observed that the surface of the ground,
although slightly frozen, had been not
long before dug over. At the depth of a
few feet, we came upon the decayed body
of horse, teeming with the same
species of bug that 1 had before detected,
which led me to believe that this was
probably the spot where the poor peddler
had been first buried. i was confirmed
in this suspicion by the fact that in the
earth thrown out Of the pit we found a
