 WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Republican
 Ohio members held a long and exciting caucus
 this morning to distribute five appointments
 about the House of Representatives. After
 sharp discussion it was agreed that Taylor,
 Updegraf, Young, Schultze and Neal should
 be the lucky qufntette.
 Judge Taylor, General Garfeld's successor
 in the House, will introduce a resolution
 Tuesday calling for a committee to audit the expenses attendant upon the sickness and death of the late President
 The Cabinet meeting this afternoon lasted two hours. The Chil-Peru troubles were discussed at length. Solicitor General Phil lips represented the State department and Secretary Kirkwood was absent. It is prob- able that Secretary Blaine will only attend one more Cabinet meeting as it is fully cer- tain that he will retire next week. He re- l fuses, however, to express himself on the question It is said Frelinghuysen's name will surely be sent in as soon as the Senate 1 convenes next week. It is said that Secreta.

The Custody of the Child Actress.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The case of Corinne, the child actress, was continued before Judge Donohue in Supreme Court chambers this morning. The object of the prosecution was to show that during the engagement of the company in Manchester, N. H., Mrs Flaher- ty had behaved herself in such an ultra dis reputable manner that it of itself was suf- ficient to convince the court that the ehild's present guardians were far from being proper persons Ito teach the young idea how to shoot" MT. Delafeld, counsel for the society, was several times advised by the court in his examination of his witnesses to restrict himself to facts and much laughter was occasioned by the sharp cross examination of MT. Hummel, who obtained several contradictions from apparently vera cious witnesses. The first witness called was Mary Jane Flaherty, the divorced wife of the recognize her husband she looked as him se- yerely for moment and then pursing up her lips acknowledged in an extremely sarcastic tone that she stdid and was sorry for it. '" She testified that in Boston Mrs Flaherty's reputation was not of the best, but that she knew nothing against her of her own knowf- edge. As to her general reputation the court excluded the answer and finally said to MT. Delafield:
 'The society which you represent has its powers under the statute and not common law. The parties in this action all people who belong out of our State and it is question with me whether we have not enough tooccupy us with the citizens of our own child is with her natural guardians not, but whether she is comfortable happy ard well cared for sufficient to argue in favor of the party who proves pro or con-"
 Three policemen from Manchester, named respectively Charles H. Reed,l James Buklin and Melville J. Jenkins, testified that on Oc- tober 1st the respondent had acted in scan dalous manner in their city. She had been arrested but discharged. William Bryant, of the same city, testified that he had attended the performance of Corinne, but saw noth- ing objectionable. The case was then ad- iourned until tomorrow morning. Applica- ton was made by MT. Hummel to gain pos session of the child, but the court denied it for the present.

no trouble for the physicians to devote a
few minutes 60 tho preparation of abul.e-
tin at noon, in order to keep the public
fully posted OH the Presidents condition.
The President will be subject of more or
less anxiety for some weeks to come, and

A MiracIe bx Faith.

Tho people in the vicinity of New Brigh-
ton, Conn, have been agitating themselves
considerable about miracle alleged to have
been wrought on the person of Miss Anna
Lewis by certain Mrs. Mix, colored
woman of Torrington,. also in that State.
The young girl in question fell sick about
three. years ago of disorder which was
vague and underlined, but very debilitating
in its effects, and on the Oath of June last
she was confined to her bed. There was
some talk among the neighbors Of Mrs.
Mix's infallibility in curing diseases "by
faith, p" and the parents of the girl allowed
her to be sent for. When Mrs. Mix entered
the sick room every one withdrew. "Have
you faith in the Lord that he will cure you
in answer to prayer 2" asked she of the in
valid. ~ have" was the answer Mrs.
Mix then prayed long and earnestly, after
which she moistened the tips of her fingers
with little olive oil, and touching the girl
on the forehead. She then gave the girl
her hand, and raising her from the bed led
her across the floor. The sick girl, who had
before been unable to move a muscle, then
walked unaidcd to the head of the stairs,
and called the servant for a drink of water.
Afterward the overjoyed mother came up
stairs and joined with Mrs Mix and her
daughter in prayers of thanksgiving. From
that time the girl has steadily improved,
and is now as healthy as any one. Mrs.
Mix, it is said, has gained such a wide pop
ularity that she receives daily as many as
twenty-five callers and countless numbers
of letters. She, however, lays claim to no
power beyond that of sincere prayer.

written and rewritten, published and repub-

to detail or particulars, but has recently re-
ceived another boom through the newspa-
pers, and is going the rounds of the press.
Everybody knows of it, every one has read
Of it a hundred times. 1t was merely a
cold-blooded murder on the part of Jackson
against the person of Dickinson, who tried
to kill Jackson, failed, and being defenseless,
was deliberately slaughtered by the latter.
There was no heroism, no gallantry, no
moral to the affair. 1t was disgusting
case of cruelty, without palliation or ex-
cuse, and it would be better for the memory
of Old Hickory that the press in this late
day give the stale old story, with its stencil

that the Straight-out Virginia Republican

The HORRIBLE MURDER of the two in
nocent children, on Saturday evening last,
within the limits of the District, furnishes
terribly startling evidence that, so far
from even approximating civilization, the
human race is still far off from that goal.
There is a shadow of reason in the ordinary
murder that originates from greed of wealth,
jealousy, or hatred but the deliberate de-
struction of couple of innocents scarcely
able as yet to speak, and whose life or death
outside of their immediate relatives, was
matter of unconcern to the entire world
evidences that barbarians are not confined
to any particular field of the world, or to
any peculiar section. Hlt
While we at the National Capital and in
the so-called civilization of the east are
horrifying ourselves over the outrages Of the
Apaches, we should stop to think, and by
thinking recolect that condemnation as
well as charity begins at home, and last Sat
urday's horror evidences the fact beyond
power of contradiction or process of exten-
uation that we have here at the National
Capital fiends, human formed, more devilish
than all the Apache wigwams of the from
