LINCOLN AND FATHER BLAIR.

Respect and reverence for old age was
one of Lincoln's marked characteristics,
as was strikingly sho wn in an instance
which occurred ON the route from Spring
field, H., to Washington before the cere-
monial of his first Inauguration.
The sullen roar of civil war was heard
in the distance, and spirit of apprehen-
sion and doubt possessed all grades OF
society, as was made manifest in the vast
crowds that assembled everywhere along
the line to either greet the President with
enthusiastic cheers or muttered mad
threats of denunciation and death.
In the progress of the journey the
party had reached one of the larger cities
of Southern Indiana, and Lincoln, while
standing on the platform of the car, discov
cred an old white-haired man, whose form
at one time had been of herculean proper
tions, but then bent and feeble, vainly
making an attempt to approach him. L
mattered not to Lincoln that his audience
were spell with the weight of his
argument and thrilled with the appea
made to their patriotism and loyalty. Fol
For as if alone before him stood the vet
eran of almost century Gather Blair)
challenging his assistance and sympathy
SO with few neatly turned and appro
pirate words he descended, passed rapidly
through the throng, and placing the ole
mans arm within his own, retraced hi
steps to his former position.-Ioacd Stat

A MOORISH DUsTMAN.

Two things are de q1gateur in all books
of Eastern travel; first, the witty disser
tations on small vermin, without which
no regular book of travels in any latitude
can be considered complete; second,
loathsome pictures of the general filthiness
of Eastern towns; where we are led to be-
lieve that sanitary precautions are abso-
lutely unknown. VIII it be credited that
one ofthe first things to catch my eye, as
[ looked down into the narrow street of
Tetuan from my bedroom window that
morning was a downright Moorish dust
man? There he was, in flowing robes and
white turban, driving his mule before him.
| with its capacious basket paniers, He lifts
up his voice in dismal bowls, till the maid
of all work comes forth, bearing the daily
ashes of her house in large wooden box,
which the Moor empties into his mule pan
iers with lofty dignity, and passes on to
the next door In fact, that peculiarly
excellent system known to modern Eng
lish sanitarians, if my memory serves
me rightly, as the Preston Pail system
is IN full swing in Tetuan. and has been,
no doubt, for centuries The dead dog,
and fostering vegetable refuse Tin the
sacred interests of truth, am forced to
make these unsayory illusions, which, ac-
coFding to the best authorities, ought to
litter the narrow slit of street below, are
as non-existent as the sickening odors
which ought to, and undoubtedly would,
accompany them if there; and to sum up,
this most thoroughly Eastern town OF
Tetuan is positively place to live and
nourish in, not merely a hotbed of plague
and typhoid Full of satisfaction at this
in .eresting discovery Of the Moorish dust
man, / was co lposing myself to await
| further revelations of Eastern life. when a
| heavy bundle of fire wood projected from
the housetop directly above me came
whizzing past my nose, and induced me to
withdraw hastily from the window. 1t

BOB INGERsoLL's WIFE.

Mrs. Ingerso1l is a bright faced and
handsome matron, on whom the cares OF
life have set lightly, and whose clear cut
and animated countenance is perpetual
study, with its quick play and change of
expression. The two daughters are pretty
and charming young girls, with a quiet
ease and modesty of demeanor that quick
ly render them delightful entertainers. The
eider-Miss Eva Ingersoll-is by many
considered most decided beauty, being of
that the English papers depict, with a
wealth of golden brown hair massed Ia
great braids at the back of her head, and a
plant and graceful figure. It is the boast
of their proud parents that these two
daughters never went to school.-Roches-

CORKHILL
Speaks His Mind About the Star
Route Gases.

WASHINGTON, November 7.-At the
opening of the Criminal Court this
morning District Attorney COrkhill
make a long personal explanation, to
the effect that Colonel Cook was appoint
ed by Attorney General MacEeagh as
special Assistant Attorney of the United
States charged with the prosecution of
the star route cases. He (COrkhilD had
therefore not been consulted in con-
nectiOn with the prosecution. Cooks
consultations had all been with the At
tOrney General, whose assistant he pro-
perly claimed to be. He (COrkhilD could
not know anything officially of the case
or be in the slightest degree responsible
for il. He denied That the present pro-
ceeding by criminal information had
been rendered necessary by his adjourn
ment of the Grand Jury from September
18th to October 3D. On the 9TH of Sep
tember he called upon Attorney General
MacVeagh and informed him that he
would have no business for the Grand
Jury when it assembled, and that if
there were any of the Star route cases
ready for presentation, the Grand Jury
was at his service for three weeks.
otherwise he intended to adjourn the
Grand Jury till the first Monday in Oc-
tOber. The Attorney General then In
formed him that since the Presidents
assassination he had not given the Star
route case any personal attention, that
he knew nothing of them, and
that he (COrkhilD need not bother
himself about them, and that
when his services or those of the
Grand Jury were required he would
be notified by the person having special
charge of them. Under the circum-
stances the grand jury was respited for
two weeks. On the Goth of September
he was informed by Mr.. Cook that the
Attorney General wished to see him, and
in company with Mr.. Cook he called on
the Attorney General and was then re-
quested to sign the criminal informa-
ton. He then protested against the
abuse which he had been receiving and
against the insinuatiOns that had been
published against the adjournment of
the grand jury, and he said that if the
Attorney General, as his superior officer,
made statement of simple facts this
abuse would be at once silenced.

THE MURDER,
Committed by Charles Madder
at Tiffin.

TIFFIN, o., November THE murder
of Miss Phebe Bernard by Charles Madder
last week has proven to be the most
heaTtrendering tragedy in the history
of the city, Madder is a Stark county
boy and his family live at East Green
vile, about five miles west of MassillOn,
in Tuscarawas township. Madder was
a student at Heidelberg College. Tiffin,
and was studying for the ministry. He
made the following statement of his
crime: We were engaged to be married
and she went back on me. 1 could do
nothing, and think of nothing but
her. l could neither study nor
work, and 1 resolved to return
again and renew my suit On Wednes-
night she refused me again, and | could
not get over it. 1 felt that something
must be done, end 1 got drunk first to
give me courage, although it was the
first time ever drank anything strong
er than water or coffee since joined the
church. | went to the college while
they were taking observations by the
Phebe) to come along when she
went to the party at Sheets,
when she came called
her to one side and again request
ed her to marry me. She refused, and l
told her she was the cause of my misery
and we wOtld die together. 1 drew my
revolver and cooked it more to make her
say yes, than anything else, but some-
how the revolver went off, and when
she screamed L knew she was shot. l
fired the other shots to end her suffer-
ings, and make her stop screaming. My
intention was to shoot myself, but
try as would could not get
courage enough to do so. went to
Baldwin's lumber yard and stayed all
night, heard the parties in the search,
and resolved to give myself up as soon
as the excitement died away, and there
would be no danger of lynching."
The preliminary examination of Mad
der, Saturday, was held in the Sheriff's
private Office, and hewas bound over to
court for murder in the first degree.
Sensational reports of an attempt to
lynch Madder have been circulatedl but
they are all false. aTiffin people are
peaceable, and disposed to let the law
take its course. Madder was taken from
Jail last night to Fremont. From thence
he will be taken to Toledo in the morn
ing for safe keeping.

wHIsKEY TAX.
Reduction to Fifty Cents a Gal
- lon Proposed,

WASHINGTON, November 7.-The Inter
nal Revenue Bureau does not favor the
proposed reduction of the whiskey tax
from ninety to fifty cents per gallon. In
his forthcoming report, Commissioner
Raum will neither recommend the re-
ductiOn nor will he advise directly
against it. He will state the amount of
revenue derived from whiskey and that
the proposed reduction will cut down
the amount without benefting the
producer or consumer. ReVe-
hue officials regard this movement
for a reduction as inaugurated wholly
by the middle men, who, they say, would
make all the profit; the whisky trade
will also oppose the reduction, as mil
lions of dollars worth of whisky are
held in bond, and to reduce the tax
would demoralize the trade badly. The
Commissioner may in his report point
out this effect. There will be a determ-
ined effort made to get Congress to re-
duce this tax, and it is said a big lobby,
with plenty of money, will be here in
the interest of the movement. The in
tluence of the Treasury and Revenue
Bureau will be against reduction.
