Brussels the other day when a gentleman who

Miss JULIA WARD HOWE went to take tea wi tn
the Carlyles In 1Si3 and says concerning her visit
in the Critic: "Our host received us with GER
tain rough hospitality, and entertained us with a
somewhat rambling conversation until tea was
announced. The tea-table was very simple in its
appointments. / remember among these two
small glass saucers containing preserves Of some
sort which Carlyle offered to us, saying Perhaps
you can eat these; never eat thae things myself
His chief demsnd was, indeed upon the teapot
The tea was very strong, and mostly or wholly
green. Mr.. Carlyle drank four cups Of this, and
under its stimulating influence began to pour
forth stream of brilliant and varied talk. The
fire of his eye was remarkable. and 10 II cores
ponded a certain glow on his cheek, which seemed
a brightness rather than a color"

portance, and is worthy or pro-
found consideration by the Legislature.
We are told that the dial on the patent ma
chine ballot-box is so big that it covers the
whole front of the box, and this dial regis
tiers the votes and when vote is deposited
a bell rings (which can be heard above
everything" This bell notifies everybody
that vote has been cast. 1t must be some
thing like fire alarm, since il ''can be heard
above everything" But the bell don't
ring, nor the hands on the dial move unless
the crank turns-everyt depends OIL the
crank. 1t is easy to see that there is too
much crank. But suppose the bell didn't
ring, suppose the hands on the dial didn't
move, suppose the stanP works should
get out OF order. though the crank
did move. would the election
be fair and square2 Who can tell?
There might be in Indiana, in 1000 Pre-
cincts, ten or twenty or a hundred patent
ballot-boxes out of order-broken cranks,
cracked boxes-and unwilling hands to
register on the dial-plate The machine
might be too much fabricated for fair
thing-suspicions might be aroused. The
mystery of cogs, wheels, bells, hands and
cranks might awaken so much curiosity
about the true inwardness of the machine as
to cause some robust Hoosier to pursue his
investigations further than the law provides.
He might regard il as more of a chuck-a-luck-
box than ballot-box. We are told that
this patent box can't be "tampered with,
even if every Judge and Inspector con-
sents." Why? What is to prevent 1t?
Who knows the condition of the machinery
when the box is brought out for use? Who
is the custodian of crank, and bell, and dial?
Who gives bond that he will not fr the box?
Such talk does not convince the people who
may have their rights subject to secret ma
chinery that patent box with crank, and
bell, and dial plate is the best protection.
The patent ballot-box may be all right
but there is something about it that doesn't
look right 1t costs too much; 1000 is too
much to pay for a ballot-box experiment
To guard against breaking the crank, and
the arrangement of machinery, each Pre-
cinct should be provided with two boxes.
These would cost the people 100000. We
do not believe the people of Indiana are pre-
pared for such an expenditure of money to
try an experiment; nor do we believe the
people are willing to risk an election upon
the proper working of patent machine

THE Boston Post says: Little Malone is now
called the Virginia creeper,' but IL we remember
rightly that is the vine that always shows a
proneness to go ND the spout"
THE Boston Herald says: 1T must be confessed
that the debate in the Senate affords little proof OF
the sincerity of the Republican wish to put an
end to that political entity known as the Solid
South"
THE Peoria Transcript, Republican paper OF
the gushing school, rapturously exclaims: ave

brief periods Of their lives.
THE Providence Press says: ut would seem as
IL two or more United States Senators might be
found who do not think that the whole political
future of this Nation hangs in the balance upon
the election Of two such oflice-seekers as Gorham
and Riddleberger. and who have backbone
enough to take the Presidents advice and put an
end to the farce at least until public business has
been attended to-"
THE Republican of Springfield. Mass. is talking
right out in meetin'." II says: "Day by day,
the administration sinks in public esteem. The
more its acts are turned over. the less they are
liked. The nomination of Stanley Matthews, the
selection Of W. E. Chandler, the removal of Mer-
ritt-there is no defense for these things. They
carry their own condemnation and sink by their
own weight They are not like Grants worst
acts-hagrant outrages on public decency; but

will rise while Garfield is In, whether he helps OF
binders. His administration will probably VIII

placing Stanley Matthews on the bench or forcing
Chandler on MacVeagh, but there is danger that
some of these results win be won at hopeless
loss of moral position"

The halls of the Capitol were thronged from the
hour of the assembling of the Legislature until
the result of the ballot was known, and then such
an excitement, uprOar and tumult followed as
was never witnessed before. Men shouted them

air. The contagion spread 10 every part of the CITY,
with much interest the telegraph messengers AS
they flew along the streets with books and dis

ed at the Capitol, the House, which was in
session, arose instanter and rushed pell-mell to
the cheers of members and visitors
During this time the whole city was in an up
roar. Everyone was so rejoiced that they seemed

Malone and kellogg actually did nominate for

in 1879, bolted the Republican candidate for Coy

that State openly denounced Gorham's treachery,

But now. that Gorham is supported by Malone

plainly that he must be nominated, or no Repub-

himself the negntiator between Malone and the
Republicans for the control OF the organization.

Brown. who acted as Captain of the boat. guided
her with great care. The usually placid river
was very rough, the waves rising high and at
times sweeping over the bows OF the boat. Be
fore the party had proceeded more than half a
mile several of the more cautious counselled a
return TO Benefits wharf and postponement of
the voyage. The business of one or two. however,
was urgent, and in their xiety TO reach their
destinations there disregarded all indica-
tons OF danger, aud urged that the
Captain should continue TO push for

craft and overturned It, emptying the whole party

Terrible Experience of n Fugitive.
A dispatch dated Muscatine, Iowa, April 10


says:
Mr. S. Z. Haleck, of Goshen Township, came
in yesterday morning and gives the following de-
tails of the wonderful flight OF Daniel Foss from
Constabe's posse on Saturday night last About
five others went TO the house of Foss to search for
goods missing from Mr.. Saunders house. FoSs,
who is a young German, only In this country
about ten months. was I'm bed with his wife and
as the members of the searching party were all
armed with guns, and being unable to understand
English he became very much frightened, and
ran out of the hause barefooted, aud clad only
I'm pants and drawers. As he stepped outside
the door the men ran out calling: shoot him,
shoot him." and somebody fired a gun twice.
Foss started on a run through the snow across the
prairie and was followed by the entire party. He
was chased mile or more, and before ne reached
the Cedar River was fired upon twice, but was
not hit He ran along the bank OF the river some
distance and finally plunged In and swan across.
His pursuers supposing he had been swept under
the ice, gave up the chase and went home On
Monday morning he was discovered clinging TO n
wire fence and standing in ice water up to his
knees. Mr Halleck, our informant, being near.
rescued him and took him to his home and called
medical aid. The mans feet are both frozen as
we'll his hands, and he is terribly bruised and
mangled by the sharp ice and brush through
which he ran. He states that when he got to the
river he swan across and reached small tree,
surrounded by water on all sides, and TO this ne

and sunday night. Mr.. Hslleck swore out war

The inhuman treatment of the man.
