II. V. Redfeld, the well known
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, died week before last
in the prime of life. His prevailing
characteristic was truthfulness -
made more prominent by its rarity
among brethren of his guild.

ALONzO DANTE,

a Washington special to the Gin
cinnati Commercial says: Sc0ville's
speech was, as on yesterday, very
ingenious. His is the art that con
ceaIs the art, and as his subtitle SEN
fences flowed forth 1t was difficult
to believe that hG had had sixty
years experience of affairs, and had
been for several decades a lawyer in
active practice. He seemed Just
from the backwoods He seemed
so gentle, SO unsophisticated in every
way, candid and calm, that he had
not only the attention of the Judge,
the jury and the audience, but won
their sympathy, so that when he
made 4 particularly good point, and
again when he gave C0rkhill . home
thrust, he was heartily applauded
CorkhiIl deserved the singing re-
bulle he got, and the audience was
quick TO see it. Ofcourse Guiteau's
wild interruptions. while they seem

his mind, broke the continuity of his
thought But he rather liked them.
They adorned his tale If they didn't
point his moral. ScoviIle is win

Detestable as was the crime, detes-
table as is the man, if he be sane, no
one can help feeling respect and
even admiration for his brother-in-
law, who, believing him to be in
sane, stands by him in the e&tremitY
at great personal sacrifice. Cork
hills actions all through this matter
have been reprehensible in so many
particulars that the audience Of to- |
day was glad that an opportunity
was afforded to condemn them.

We have lately received four ele-
giant steel engravings, published by
Messrs. Stinson &c Co, Portland,
Maine, and a dozen beautiful chrome
flower panels; all are fine works of
art, and do credit to the publishers.
The steel engravings are very large
size Of each 30 by 10 inches. The
plates were engraved in London by
well-knoWn English masters of art,
and cost, when they came into the
owners hands in Portland, custom
duties paid, some thirty thous-
and dollars. These engravings are
Of the class that sell in Europe for
three guineas per copy, which is
over fifteen dollars. To engrave a
single plate of this size and desclip-
ton Of workmanship, requires the
labor Of a most skiliful artist from
one year to two years, and often
longer. These elegant engravings
are entitled "Choosing the Wedd ng
Gown" 'The Prayer for Health,
"Tending Goats" and The High
land Hearth" 1t is believed, and
generally conceded, that these en-
cravings make up the finest and
most elegant set Of works Of high
art ever brought out by American
publishers. American homes should
be made beautiful by refined works
of art, and prices for really good
and meritorious pictures are now so
low that there can be no excuse for
the walls to remain gloomy, I'M
adorned, and cherries, American
homes should be made beautiful,
and the tendency of this will be to
make more refined and beautiful the
lives of all dwellers therein.

Company In the World.

Company In the World.
There has just been formed in New
Haven a syndicate. to control the manu-
facture of matches in this country, with a
capital of 50, $50, COO, all paid up. 1t is
known as the Diamond match company,
and when in full working order it will be
the largest and wealthiest match concern
in the world. Its officers are William H.
Swift, of Wilmington, Del, president O..
T.. Barber, of Akron, Ohio. vice president !;
L. Wheeler Beecher, of'Westville, Conn.,,
secretary. and William b. Gates, Of Frank
fort, n. Y, treasurer. In this company
every leading match concern in the United
States has been swallowed up, and to
day such concerns as the Swift, Courtney
& Beecher company, of Westville the
Richardson match company, Of Detroit,
Mich: William Gates's Sons, of Frank
fort. N. Y; August Eichele, of St. Louis,
Mo-; and the Barber match company, of
Akron, Ohio, are among the things that
were. The above named. with E.G. Byan,
formerly of Carlton, Byan & Co., of BOs

& Sweet, of Norton. Mass. F. +. New
ton, formerly of Clark match company. of
Woodbridge, Conn. J. Emory Eaton,
formerly of James. Eaton & Son. of Utica,
n. Y, and J. w. Eisenhart, of York, Pa,
comprise the new organization.
The prime movers in the new scheme
have been the Swift, Courtney s. Beecher
company of Westville, suburb of New
Haven. This firm is the largest match
making concern in the country, owning
several factories, one at Westville, one in
Wilmington, DEL, one in Chicago, ILL.,,

through Lancaster yesterday on their way
to Chicago from Philadelphia, where they
closed their engagement last night. The
total receipts in Philadelphia were ss5, d.

America have been $206, ,S54.
Miss EULALIA RIsLEY, Texan girl, has
made successful debut in concert at
Vienna. Her voice is a contraltO, power
full but not harsh. Even the Vienna press,
not apt to be complimentary to foreigners.
gave her great encouragement. Miss
THURsBY, who was contemplating re-
turn to New York. has been induced by
several fattering engagements at Prague
and Dresden to postpone her departure.
Her success with the Viennese public has
been great fact which goes to show
still more clearly the ignorance of the mass
of tho New York public in regard to the
merits of truly fine artist.
The great Paris star of the day is the
successor of Rachel and Sarah Bernhardt.
Her name is PAsCA. She has obtained
fame at St. Petersburg, and rules Paris at
the present moment both artistically and
socially. She is pupil Of Delsarte and
Regnier. She made her debut some six
years ago, and has hardly been heard of in
Paris since. the director Of the Imperial
theatre at St. Petersburg having carried
her away almost Immediately after her
first appearance on the boards OF the Gym
nase. She is said to be an extremely
severe and virtuous woman, and in these
qualifications lies probably the secret OF
the social influence she obtained at the
court of St. Petersburg and is now gain.
ing in the aristocratic salons of Paris. She
is an admirable shot, and has big stuffed
black bear guarding the door Of her de.
partment at the Batignolles. 1t is said to
be only one of the many she has shot in
Russia.

Tho silent woman Of Montana.

On Willow Creek, NJ. T., resides a
woman who for fifteen years, except on
one occasion, has not uttered word. In
1865 she was relentlessly forbidden by her
pare nts to marry Il man Of her choice.
Soon after this the family moved To Mon
tana, and since the day Of their starting
the young lady, now grown to a woman
Of 30 years, has not articulated as much
as half dozen words. Her long silence
is attributed to intense and abiding indig-
nation at the cruelty of her parents, and
probably conceivins words to be useless
and inadequate to express the poignancy
fiber suffering, she concluded never to
speak again, resolution which she has
adhered to so far with remarkable
tenacity. She lives with her parents, Oc-
cupies room by herself, refuses to see
strangers, and to all intents and purposes
is absolutely dumb. Her memory is
strong and accurate for one who neither
talks nor reads nor takes other intellectual
exercise. Through the partition in her
room she will sometimes listen to the con-
versation of those in the adjoining apart
ment, and occasionally, several days after,
it will be found on paper in her room,
written out. There is no doubt Of her
ability to speak.

A Minister Left Decidedly In the Lurc,l in
His Matrimonial Matters.
George BOvard is the name of a young
Methodist minister who attended the an
nual conference of the NJ. +. church at
Mercer, Pa, a couple of years ago. While
there he and 4 young lady teacher of the
soldiers orphan school, located in Mercer,
fell in love with each other. Her name
was Clara Shatfer. He was about to start
for India to Christianize tho heather. A
correspondence was kept up between the
two, and he wanted her to to come to him,
be married and assist him in his labors.
He had no money to pay her expenses,
and she had none. In this emergency, a
few months ago, she made confident Of
"Dick" Wright, heavy clothing MGR
chant of Mercer, and he, being u big
hearted man with generous impulses, Of
fercd to supply her with what money she
needed to reach her far-Of lover. She
gan her preparations for the long journey.
"Dick" and Miss Shaffer were thrown
much together for while, and about the
time she was ready to start he was deeply
in love with her himself. But he said
nothing, and she started for New York
with enough of "Dick's" money in her
pocket to take her to India.
Two or three days after her departure
he grew despOndent, and chided himself
for having given away his chance for mar
rying Miss Shatfer himself. A thought
struck him, and that was to follow her
and, if possible, overtake her before she
boarded a steamer in New York, for
distant India. He acted promptly on the
thought, took the cars, reached New York
and found tho vessel ON which she was to
sail. Miss Shaffer was already on board
pe made known his affection, asked her
Tor her hand for himself, was accepted, and
the two returned to Mercer few days ago
as man wife.
The outcome is a little rough OH tho
young minister who is wrestling with sup
perstition and idolatry in the jungles Of
India.

Our Example.

Our Example.
The London Spectator, in an article
admitting, with rare English concession,
the marvellous material development OF
the United States, reproaches us with
our failure to use the marvellous
strength now revealed in doing some
thing for the relief of oppressed and in
competent races and nations elsewhere. "
It intended to recall for our example, no
doubt, England's word-encircling drum
beat and her philanthropic efforts in the
direction of India, Afghanistan and
South Africa. The Nation very fit
ly replies that this nation is
rendering much more valuable SER
vice to her contemporaries in the
g successful exhibition Of government
without standing armies, and OF a society
which does not make pets of fighting
men ''-an exhibition that is not without
its lesson to expressing nations as well as
oppressed. England's alleged missionary
craftsmanship has as often stained her
annals with the record of oppression as
it has glorified them with relief for the
suffering and the immense drain upon
her domestic resources to maintain the
glitter of her foreign establishments has
imposed upon her common people
weightier burdens than she has ever lifted
from far-off peoples. The energies of The
United States have been turned in upon
their own development, SO as to present
to the struggling cause of liberty every
where the inspiring example of a sue
cessful establishment of free institutions,
and to upbuild home for those who flee
from oppression wherever it is regnant.
England cannot show as good a record ;
it may not he too late for her to profit
from the lesson taught byher offspring.

infer that our star, gazing friends are full
of energy and persistence in the commend
able work in, which they are engaged. In
the report Of the Lancaster county teach
ers' institute is a series interesting and
exceedingly valuable papers read before

are always consulted in the preparation of
all papers, and frequently lectures given
on astronomy, a subject Of which too little
is known by the average reader. The
