KILLED BY RATTLEsNAKEs.
The Awful Addiction of a venangO
County Woman.
OH Ctr Derrfck.


- A lady who has been visiting at Presi-
dent informs US concerning one of the
most terrible accidents that ever came to
our knowledge. There resides near
President widow who had three chill
dren. A few days since she was prepar-
ing dinner and had the youngest child
with her in the house. The other two
children were sent by her to hunt some
eggs. They were both young, and going
out of the house they saw hollow log
in the yard. One of them put in her lit
tie hand to see if there were any eggs,
but quickly pulled it out, saying
a chicken had bitten her. The
other inserted his hand and jerked it out
with a scream. A rattlesnake had bitten
them both. The scream of the second
child brought out the mother, and lifting
a kettle of boiling potatoes from the
stove, so they would not burn, she
started out. She had just got outside Of
the door when she was recalled to the
house by the agonizing cries of the baby,
who had crawled across the floor and
upset the boiling water over himself.
She was almost disheartened, and did
not know what to do. Help soon
arrived, and everything that could be
done was done for the three little suf
ferers, but nothing did any good. They
all rapidly grew worse, and within day
all three died and were buried in the
same grave. The name we did not learn,
but we are assured that the above are the
facts.

The Imprisonment of subjects" is
now the pressing question in Irish poll
tics, and by manipulation upon both
sides, the land bill is mixed up with it.
On the Parnell side, there appears to be
an endeavor to procure the release of the
imprisoned subjects" as the condition
of according the land bill ga fair trial.
on the government side, there seems to
be determination to detain the Sub
jects" as hostages for fair treatment of
the bill. On this controversy, Arch
bishop Croke's recommendation that the
bill be given fair trial, is sensible. 1t
would be silly to refuse whatever bene-
fits the measure confers, particularly
when the refusal is certain to result in a
continuance of the subjects impris-
onment, while fair trial of it would in
sure their enlargement.

Jennie Cramer, the beautiful New
Haven, Conn, girl who was lately fOully
murdered, has been described by the
press as the belle of New Haven. 1t ap-
pears that New Haven aristocracy are
indignant at this classification of a cigar
dealers daughter. They claim that there
are three social grades in that city;
First, the intellectual circles of Yale Col
lege professors and their families; these
represent the "culchaw." Second, the
trades people, who represent the wealth ;
and third, the mechanics. who represent
the vulgar muscle. The murdered
beauty, they say, might have been the
belle of the mechanics, but was far below
the culture and wealth circles. This is
rather q surprising announcement in a
land which has constantly proclaimed
the dignity of labor and the gospel Of
human nature.

1t is now conceded that the Western
wheat crop is below the average, and
consequently that the grain exports will
fall off. This may make an important
change in the balance of trade, which
has been so heavily in our favor for sew
eral years, but specie resumption is now
too firmly established to be affected by
anything less than a reversal of the bal
ance of trade and heavy drain of gold
to Europe. 1t is in speculative circles
that the shortness of the wheat crop is
principally felt. 1t affords the gamblers
an opportunity of working" the mar
kets, of which they are availing them
selves. The farmers will not suffer ma.
terially, as, in consequence of short
crops in England and France as well as
here, prices are likely to so advance as to
return as much money for the short crop
as a heavy crop would bring at low
prices.

Mr. T. B. Connery, who has been the
managing editor of the New York Herald
for a number Of years, is to be retired
upon a pension, and the Hon. Francis
Lawler, now one of the editors of the
London Telegraph, is to succeed him in
the management of the Herald at a salary
Of $4,000. The city editor Of the
Herald, Mr.. Merghsn, goes to London to
represent his paper there. Mr.. Charles
NordhOf will be the principal editorial
writer, in the place of the late Mr. Cham
berlain, with the aid of John Russell
Young and Mr.. Joseph Howard, Jr. The
new managing editor was at one time a
member Of Parliament, and was also
private secretary to Mr.. Gladstone. He
was sent to the Confederate States by
the London Tines during the civil war
as its Richmond correspondent, and re-
turned to Europe without visiting the
North, though he has since then made
the now usual transatlantic trip.

A correspondent of the New York
Sun is in error in saying that no official
appointment or removal made since the
President became physically incapaci-
tated for discharging the duties of his
Office is legally and constitutiOnally
valid. The second section of Article ii
of the Constitution declares "but the
Congress may by law vest the appoint
ment of such inferior officers as they
think proper in the President alone, In
the courts of law OF in the heads Of de-
partment." Unless it be held that Presi-
dent Garfield is fuHetus cfieiO by reason
Of his existing disability, and that there
is at this time an interregnum in the
Presidential Office, the members Of his
Cabinet-Who are ''the heads of depart
ment' mentioned in the Constitution
have precisely the same right to act in
all respects, and touching any and all
matters pertaining to their duties, as
they had before the President was
wounded. 1t has been loosely charged
that the Secretaries are usurping power
in going on as they did before July 2.
but common sense and the Constitution
10 not bear out that melancholy view Of

The next Legislature of Virginia will,
among its many duties, have the follow
ing important measures to consider: The
election of a United States Senator, the
election of five Judges of the Supreme
Court, the redistricting of the State for
members of Congress, the repeal of the
capitation tax restriction on suffrage,
the repeal of the whipping post law, the
modification of the criminal law, so as
restrict the penalties to what they were
when the constitution of Virginia was
adopted and the pledge of the people was
given never to alter it to effect disfran-
chisement except as therein provided.

With the renewal of grave danger in
the Presidents case, the fund for the
benefit of his family comes to the front
again. In case of his death it will be
very easily increased to the amount con-
templated by the originators of the pro
ject, viz: $780, 900. Then, should Con
gress follow the alleged custom of pre-
senting the widow with the amount of
the deceased's salary for the remainder
of the full Presidential term, which
would be somewhat over $3.50. 900. Mrs.
Garfield will have a fund of 100000
with which to ''bring up" her children
and provide for their future.

Our New England brethren take a
commendable pride in perpetually bran
dishing before the world the great work
they did in overthrowing African
slavery in the United States, but they
are not so eager that the world shall
know the things they did on the other
side A recent article on the history of
Bristol and Newport, Rhode Island,
printed in an Eastern paper, informs US
what atrocious men-stealers the inhabi-
tants of these towns once were. Of the
202 slave-ships that entered Charleston
harbor from 1904 to 1903, no fewer than
50 were from Rhode Island-the others
being from other New England ports
Rhode Island vessels brought into South
Carolina 8,29S slaves-a very "gayne-
full pilladge," as one of the old New
England Puritans called the business.

the Cole charter, without. however, once
abiding to the chief objections made by
General Alexander to the clause grant

President Garfeld's probable death
before many hours was announced by a

affecting tones L Walk Through the
