''LoNG LIVE THE REPUBLIC =!

All information thus far elected
confirms the fact of the hayward
character of the individual in ques~
ton. According to this information,
Becht, in 1852, was with one Jacob
Clippinger, and later with James
Doyles, both in Fulton county, Pa.
Further clues to his whereabouts
are unreliable, some leading to
Europe, whilst the majority, and the
most probable lead to the battle
fields of the late rebellion. My en-
deavors to ascertain where and in
what regiment he enlisted have thus
far been unsuccessful. I may add,
that the missing man represented
himself as being baker by trade,
and as having deserted from the
Austrian army. If still alive, he
would now be ga years of age, and
the inheritance due him would un>
doubtedly prove a boon in his old
age. In case of his death, his next
of kin (wife or children, if any
exist are entitled to the inheritance.
Any information leading to the
discovery of the above named indi-
vidual or any of his family, if suit
us, will be forwarded to the proper
authorities.

Where is Anton Esecit, frO.aa
Vienna?

In 1910, one Anton Becht, until
then a grocer at Vienna, and at that
time aged 80 years, of medium stat
ure, dark brown hair, and propor~
tionate features, disappeared from
Vienna, Austria, having previously
intimated his intention of going to
North America. In the meanwhile
he has fallen heir to an estate of no
trifing amount, which is being con-
troiled by the authorities. On Janu-
airy II, 1852, he wrote a letter
from Spearsville, Wells township,
Fulton county, Pa, to his father

There can be no doubt of Guiteau's
political orthodoxy. Here is an ex-
tract from one of his campaign
speeches last year:
This is the issue-a solid North
against a solid South. The North
conquered the South on the field of
battle, and now they must do it at the
polls in November, or they may have
TO fight another war. Ye men whose
sons persisted in the war, what say you
to the issue, shall we have another
war? Shall our national treasury be
controlled by ex-rebcls and their
Northern allies, to the end that mil.
lions. OF dollars of Southern war
claims be liquidated? If you want
the republic bankrupted, with the
prospect of another war, make Han
cock President. If you want pros
perity and peace, make Garfield Pres
ident, and the republic will develop
till it becomes the grandest and
wealthiest nation on the globe"
He had the story well learned-the
old, old story, and peddled it as glibly
as though he had been Massacha-
sets Senator or United States Mar
shall, What is more to the point, he
believed as implicitly VIII; he said.
He was in his speeches wi at he pro-
nounced himself when arrested
Stalwart of the Stalwar s-a repre-.
sentative Republican CAM aign spe k
er. How do the larger lights who
have traded on these cheap sland RS
like the sound and seeming of them
when pronounced by such political
moralist as Guitean? Those who lis
tened to his words should be satisfied
Pie side he espoused has won, and
now we see what we do see, and
Guiteau is not the only man response
bic for it either.

The resignation of DR. d. 7. Porter
as President of the Board of Police
and Fire Commissioners of the Taxing
District, and also as a member of the
Board, takes most people by surprise
Yet the reasons assigned-the need Of
rest and Of time to look after his indi-
vidual afairs--are ample explanation.
DIR. Porter entered upon the perplex.
ing and arduous duties Of the
the Office just resigned over two years
ago,when the affairs of Memphis were
involved in great gloom and un-
certainty. 1t was soon after the great
epidemic Of 1873, through which he
had passed, taking an active part be.
fore and after his own prostration.
The charter of the old city had been
repealed and new form Of
local government was established
in its place. This was in
the nature of an experiment, and
many doubted its success. The result
has been far more satisfactory than
the most sanguine movers in the
scheme expected. DR.. Porter brought
to bear fine business experience, great
frmuess and decision of character,
and was sustained by the best ele-
meutS of the city irrespective of party.
We have had in the main
thoroughly business and econom
ical administration, under which
more has been accomplished in the
way of sewerage, paving and sanitary
improvements than could have been
done under the old double barreled
form ofgovernment with FIVE times the
money, in ten years. So much for
the application Of sound business
principles to the administration
of public affairs. DR.. Porter
may have made some mis-
takes it would be remarkable if
he had not, and we may have felt
tempted to criticise some Of his ac-
lions at times, but these are so incom-
parably small by the side of the good
and great work that he and his able
assistants have accomplished that
they are not worth mentioning or re +,
membering. He has made a splendid
executive officer, and retires with
the best wishes Of the great
body of the people. We hope that he
may rapidly regain his health and
strength and live many years to behold
and enjoy the beneficial results of his
efforts in behalf Of Memphis. The
appointment of Mr.. John 0verton as
his successor by Governor Hawkins
will give general satisfaction. He has
both experience and capacity and
enjoys the good will Of all classes.

WIMBLEDON, July 2l.-At VIM
bledon yesterday the Albert Jewel
competition of 1000 yards was again
won by an American. DR.. Scott, Of
the American team, won it in 1880,
and Milton Farrow, also of the Amer
lean team, in 1879. This year Frank
Hyde, American, and Captain Good
sal, of the Second Bucks regiment,
each made a score of seventy out of a
possible seyenty-fve, and on shooting
off the tie Hyde made three bulls
eyes against Captain Goodsals two
inners and one bulls eye, thus win
ming the prize.
VIENNA, July 2l.-Political CORE
spondents say that several States OF
South America are thinking of adopt
ing the principle of arbitration in
their various differences. Colombia,
which assumed the initiative in the
movement, has invited the several
friendly republics to send delegates to
the conference for the purpose of dis
cussing the subject. Some other re-
publics, including the Argentine Con-
federation, have already adhered to
the proposals.
PARIS, July 21.-The municipality
voted 100000 francs for the improve
ment of the water works.
1t is said that the wheat and other
crops are suffering from the heat, and
in the absence of rain the product will
be much below last year.
General Moves, who has been in
Britanny with his family, is expected

LONDON, July 21.-A Vienna cor
respondent says that the Sultan Of
Morocco has appealed to the Sultan
Of Turkey to put stop to the agita-
ton in North Africa, lest the insur
rection result in the expulsion Of
himself from the throne Of Morocco,
and the complete separation of
the Barbary States from Turkey.
1t is stated that these
representations produced a profound
impression at Constantinople. An
inquiry by England in regard to the
attitude Of the powers in case the
French attack Tripoli, was met by a
declaration of Germany and Austria
that they intend to maintain absolute
neutrality.
ALEXANDRIA, July 2l.-It is now
believed the cotton crop will equal

PARIS, July 21.-La France, re-
plying to an article in the Republique
Franchise in regard to the action Of
the Porte in Tripoli, and charging the
Sultan with keeping agents on the
frontier and in the interior of Tunis
for the purpose of stirring up Mussel
man fanaticism, says: Its unworthy
Of great country to indulge in vigor-
Gus language which it cannot follow
up. The sole result Of such articles
is to add to the difficulties of the al
ready acute situation. There must

A Shell Exploded by Lightning.


Richmond Wing, 49,
On last Wednesday afternoon, du.
ring = sudden thunder storm, a light
ming bolt struck large pine tree in a
field belonging to Mr.. S. 6. B. Faux
ner, who resides about eight miles
from Richmond, in Hanover county
At the time Mr.. Faulkner and a
number Of hands were working near
by. The report was sharp and loud
and shocked several of the men. Mr..
Faulkner noticed that the tree was set
on fire by the lightning, and sent
hands to clear away the brush to pre-
vent the fire spreading to his fencing.
About twenty minutes after the tree
was struck another loud and deafen-
ing report was heard in the tree, and
on examination it was ascertained
that the fire had communicated with
shell which was lodged in the tree
duling the war. The tree was some
what shattered from the explosion of
this old companion, and the bushes
near by were cut down by the frag-
ments. No one knew of the she'll be-
ing in the tree. This is a most sin
gular occurrence, and probably the
first where a shell was exploded by
lightning.

The New style Riding Habit.

New York Sun.
The change in riding habit worn by
the Princess of Wales has been the
discussion among the ladies of Eng
land, and may be interesting to horse
women here. The new riding habit is
made with a short skirt gored to the
knees, so that the position of the rider
is safer in the saddle, being unencum
bered with the heavy folds aud useless
length of draper hitherto worn. The
skirt cannot be blown about, and is
thus prevented. from revealing the
foot and ankle, which can never look
graceful when stretched over the side
Of the horse to reach the stirrup. The
skirt worn by tue Princess is not
much longer than an ordinary drawing
room costume. and is light and easily
raised by the wearer without the
danger Of causing a stumble, which so
continually happens with the riding
habit usulIy worn.
