The Toledo Blade contains the
following, which shows the great har-
mony that exists between the Stall
warts and Half Breeds: "a gentle
man named Grant is again making
himself unpleasantly conspicuous in
our politics by parceling out the Of
fees and favors of the present adj
ministration very much as if he were
a Newark cashier disposing of the
funds of a bank according to his
sweet will and personal preferences"

We have heard no yawp from the
"small fry" Republicans journals
over the turning out of office a
wounded Union soldier in Virginia,
and putting in his place an ex-rebel
repudiator! If that had been done
under a Democratic administration,
the whole country would have been
blue with the yells of these "union
loving "small fry" patriots.

The election of a Democratic Leg
islature in New York will assure a
fair apportionment of the state in to
congressional districts. Thee old ap
portionment, made by Republicans,
was most outrageously unfair. The
loss Of one or Two Democratic state
officers is to be regretted, but is
more than recompensed by the tri
umph of the Democrats in securing
The General Assembly.

There is no shadow of doubt that
Brady, Dorsey and others, of the
Star route men, stole millions of dol
lars from the government. The dis
covery of the frauds and saving made
under the management of Postmas
ter General james, demonstrates
this. But they are Republican boss
es, and no Republican boss will be
punished.

Commissionero of Internal Revenue

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
hes been investigating the
chemical purity of beer as manufac-
tured in the United States. Several
complaints have been made to him
that glucose and other injurious sub
stances were introduced into the
brewing of beer and in consequence.
of these complaints he has given Or
ders to the revenue officers at Gin
cinnati, st. Louis, Milwaukee: Chi
cago and New York, to investigate
thoroughly at these places the meth
DDS of brewing beer and examining
whether any injurious substances
were used in its manufacture. A
representative ofthe Cincinnati press
interviewed several prominent brew
ers on the subject. Mr.. Christian
Moerlein, one of the p~roprietois OF
the largest brewery in that city,
said: 81 am thoroughly acquainted
with the brewing of beer in this city
in all its phases. l must candidly
say that Cincinnati is brewing the
puresJ beer in the United States
No injurious substances are used il
any brewery here. Rice and Other
substances are used only in very
small quantities, and even these ar,
not Injurious. In New York there
may be some reason for the com
plant" Mr.. Hauck and other prom
inent brewers made the same asser

A Choice Entertainment.

The good words spoken in advance
about Jessie COuthOui and the Park
Family were not at all out of place, as
was emphatically proved by the very
choice entertainment they gave on
Tuesday evening. Taking the pOpu-
lar verdict as a voucher, it was the best
thing of the sort that ever visited st.
JOhnsbury, and those who were not
present missed splendid opportunity
for enjoying themselves. Miss COu
thoui is a grand success as reader,
and at every appearance was greeted
with a rOusing encore. Her mere pres
ence ON the platform awakens an ex-
pectatiOn, which is not disappointed.
She has fine voice which is highly
cultivated she is full of vim and YER
satility, and throws herself into the
work before her with a spirit into SYM
pathy with which the audience readily
falls. In "Surly Tins Troubles" her
ability to render pathetic passages was
made apparent, and she held the COM
pany in almost breathless attention.
In other selections her transitions from
pathos to humOr, and vice versa, were
surprising and delightful. Miss Cou-
thOui is the best female elOcutiOnist
and reader we have ever heard, and
she is not easily beaten by any reader
of the "sterner SEX" She took the
house by storm, and her name alone
would be sufficient in future to draw a
crowded house. Her renderings of
Chow Rubenstein Played" cont o. the
Fire." "Christmas at the Quarters"
ETC., were inimitable, and kept the au-
dience in an uproar. The medley with
which she concluded was rich and racy
and full of startling lapses from the
sublime to the ridiculous.
The Park Family are very musical
family indeed, and play finely with
both brass and stringed instruments.
They were well received, and given
some unmistakable encOres, to which
they generously responded; SO that
out of eleven numbers on the program
me the audience were given t,centy !
We shall not attempt to discriminate j;
every member of the family is an ar
fist, and the four combined give an
entertainment which it pays to listen
to.
The Y. NJ. C. A. committee may
safely assume that the Tuesday even
ing affair was q successful feature of
the course, and it will be hard to pro-
vide an entertainment which will give
more general satisfaction than did that
one.

A Horrible Affair.

A most revolving story of cruelty to,
and final murder of, young child
comes from Mansonville, p. Q. The
guilty parties are a William Peters
and his wife, and the facts of the case
are about as follows. Some time ago
Peters and his wife took from the poor
farm young boy to bring up. They
were not kind to the boy at all, and at
one time, when he had accidentally
burned his mittens while warming his
hands, the brutal Peters punished the
boy for it by holding his bare hands
upon the hot stove, burning them Sc
verely. With hands in this condition
the boy was sent out to pick stone.
Soon after this the boy was sent to a
neighbours to have knife ground.
The neighbOr told him he had better
wait while he ground the knife, but
the boy hesitated because of his fear
that Peters would beat him if he wait
ed. He did wait few minutes, how
ever, and on his return home was met
by Peters, who beat him numerically,
so that he died from his injuries. Pc
tiers then told the poor-master the boy
was dead, and he wanted a coffin to
bury him in. The poor-master sus-
pected that something was wrong, and
informed the authorities. Officers went
to Peters house, but he and his wife
were gone and search resulted in
finding the. boys body sewed up in a
rug. This was in fearful condition,
and it is said by one who saw the body
and from whom we have cleaned
these facts-that it was literally pound
ed to jelly. Mrs. Peters was arrest
ed, but Peters could not, at last ac-
counts, be found.
This is a shocking affair, and reveals
depravity almost beyond cOmprehen-
sion. The people of that section are
thoroughly aroused, and no doubt strict
justice will speedily Overtake the per
petratOrs of this devilish deed.
