GENERAL NOTES.

Frank Lodeke, of Trenton, ILL.,, struck
William Woerners playful blow on the
side of the head with his open hand, which
broke his neck, and he died instantly.
A lodger on the floor of Blake street,
Denver, barber shop recently was Henry
Murat, of Colorado, millionaire at one
time and the leader of fashion in the West.
A family of German immigrants passed
through Harrisburg consisting of father,
mother, nine children, forty grandchildren
and eleven great. grandchildren. Enough
of them were married to make the entire
party number ninety five. They were
bound for northern Iowa.
For more than year a Mrs. Thorn. of
Canisteo, N. Y. was unable to speak above
whisper. She became incensed at seeing
her husband, who is professed temperance
man, standing at the bar of a saloon tip.
pling a glass OF beer, and, believing that he
was getting drunk, she rushed at him,
screaming at the top of her voice. She has
now full control of it.
The only lien on farm of which Nor
folk (Va.) man died seized, and which he
left to his two sons, was claim of So.
The heirs wanted division, SO the Court
ordered a sale of the farm. 1t brought
5000, and was placed in the hands of Com
missioners for settlement. 1t took six
years to close matters, when the Commis.
sioners had absorbed the entire proceeds by
expenses.
A school in Marion county, Georgia, is
presided over by colored girl. Among
her scholars is her landlord, man 40 years
old, and he was the first to receive the rod
of correction. He says she is right, and if,
while he attends her school, ne disobeys
her commands or fails to comply with her
regulations, that she ought to whip him,
and his duty is to submit to the chastise-
ment without complaint.

The LORDS VISIT.

One morn it was whispered about the town
That Christ the Lord would that day come down
To visit His Church-so the message read
And sup with His own on the wine and bread.
Great was the joy in the churches all,
In grand cathedral and chapel small.
Bishop and elder, parson and priest,
Made ready to sit at the holy feast.
They donned their robes of silk and gold,
Their gowns of black and vestments old,
And while they waited their Lord to greet
They scowled at each other across the street.
In golden cups they poured the wine,
And golden plates held the bread divine,
And music rolled up from organ and choir
As smoke ascends from its heart of fire.
Then as they watched with expectant eyes
For Him who should come thro' the opened skies,
An humble stranger passed them by,
Clad in the raiment OF poverty.
They saw him not, while he wended his way
To hut where stricken beggar lay,
From whose cot contagious all else had fled,
Save a sinful woman who brought him bread
And cup of water, her only store,
To keep the wolf from the wretched door.
The stranger entered the squalid room,
And sudden splendor Lit up its gloom;
Aud there in this place by suffering sealed
The Lord of Heaven Himself revealed
He drank of the cup and ate of the bread
And with peace their famished souls He fed.
Then vanished from sight, thro' the spaces dim,
And the soul of the beggar went out with Him.
Thus did he take Of the Sacrament,
And the Church knew not that He came or went

BUFFALO BnL.-The Louieville Post
turns Buffalo Bill over in the following ap.
proved style: " Buffalo William, now per.
forming at Macauley's in his red.handed
drama, THE Prairie Waif. is every inch a
man, the ideal gentleman of the buckskin,
but not of the buskin. The play is one OF
lofty sentiment, with the love of the tur-
tie and the rage of the vulture, mixture
of real but cheap heroes, comical and
gifted jackass, side.splitting Teuton, two
interesting and distressed damsels, num-
ber of live Indians, and great deal OF
hustle. The play keeps the house in a
roar of laughter, and evokes thunders of
applause, and sort of Minne.ha ha of
appreciation. The fashionable theater-
going public would enjoy the play, and
should for once in a body make the ex-
pertinent. There is food in the play for
the philosopher. sentiment for the lover,
and laughter for the judicious as well as
the injudicious. 1t is perfectly proper
piece to see, and only affectation can pre-
vent fashion from filling the lower levels
of Macauley's, and dispensing their laugh
ter and their tears with reckless and indis-
criminate profusion over the tragedy and
the comedy of the truly typical American
DRAMA"

they are rarely beautiful literary works, pure
as crystal streams, polished like jasper, and
as true to nature as it oft falls to the lot of

and show the author to be possessed Of a

Prenarine for Auother Blunder.

The Democracy of Kansas are preparing for
another Of their egregious blunders, and one
that will leave them as fiat on their backs as
any they ever undertook. The ''time-hOnored
principles of Democracy" that they have talked
about from time immemOrial, are found to be OF
little consequence, but they are gathering their
forces to make one united, vigorous campaign in
opposition to the prohibitory amendment. They
have always claimed to be opposed to sumptHa-
~ laws, but they have never yet gone into
campaign upon platform of opposition to sneh
laws, exclusively. It will be one Of worst moves
they ever made, as it will be a bad move if the
Republicans build platform in favor of pro-
bibition. 1t is question upon which members
of all parties differ, and should be settled ont
side of party lines. While the Republicans
elected Governor who is a maniac on the sub
ject of prohibition, and had a very large majOri-
ty in Legislature that was wild upon the ques-
tion, they have kept it out of their platforms,
and carry out the temperance ideas as individu-
al opinions, not as doctrines Of the Republican
party. There are thousands of Republicans who
are opposed to the amendment, who will not
unite with the Democratic party because of that
one issue; and there are many Democrats who
are in favor of the amendment, who can not be
made stronger Democrats by platform in OPPo-
sition TO the amendment, but who would he
more likely to be driven from the party. Kan
sss is overwhelmingly Republican, that any
measure that succeeds must be supported by
majority Of Republicans, but it does not follow
that they favor such measures Republican is
sues. So the Democrats will find, when they
come to make fight upon the platform of anti

~ The Holton Recorder is anxious that our pa.
per and the kirwin Chief should get into quarrel,
and each tell all il knows to the disadvantage Of the
editor of the other. We know nothing to the disad
vantage of Geo. W. Wood. If the editor of the Hol-
Recorder knows anything bad about either of us,
and spare time from selling whisky surreptiously,
in violation of the law, he had better open the
subject himself.-Kd,lsas Chief
As the editor of the Kansas Chief has always treat
ed US kindly, If we knew anything to his dsadyan-
tage would not be in hurry TO publish it, but
don't know anything bad about Sol. though we have
been acquainted with him for about twenty years In
that time we have had occasion to differ with him,
vet at the same time gave him credit for his in
dependence and sincerity Of purpose. He is never
afraid to say what he believes and does not stop to
think how his advocacy Of measure would affect
him or his paper. We shall ever remember the edi-
torials he wrote during the border rutfian times,
when to utter such sentiments running the risk
OF having his press thrown into the river and getting
n free ride ont Of the Territory ounce of cold
lead. Mr. Miller is of the hardest workers to be
found in the profession and gets up the hest paper

The PREsIDEST.-The President was safely
moved to Long Branch, and at the same time,
prayers for him were offered in a number of cit
les and States. The air of Long Branch seems
to have been beneficial, while the prayers have
done him no harm. His case caused some uIea-
siness, Sunday, but he again appears to be all
right, and slowly improving. He is undoubted-
ly getting better, Independently of what Dr.
Bliss says. ~
As we have before remarked, it will not do
for the public to place any dependence in Dr.
Bliss statements or bulletins. They must Judge
of the Presidents condition from other circum-
stances. Bliss has misrepresented the case, from
the start. He either willfully lies, or is igno-
rant of facts in the case When he declares pos
itiyely that there are signs of certain danger
ous conditions, it may be taken as evidence Just
as positive that such thing has occurred, or is
shout to occur. For instance, only few days
ago, he declared that many thorough examina-
tions had been made, and that not the slightest
sign could be detected of lung difficulty. Yet
the very next day, the President had serious
trouble with his lungs, and now Bliss says that
he had known, for several weeks, that the lungs
were being affected. This is downright living,
in an official capacity.

DoS'T SLOP.-We have no doubt that Presi-
dent Garfield is perfectly satisfied that he has
the sympaihies of the American people, and
does not desire any driving and whipping in to
compel men to make any unnecessary outward
show on his account. Some of the papers are
still pitching into the Governor of Texas, for his
refusal to appoint day of howling and snivel-
ling. Some people, in their officiousness, want
to slop over, and desire everybody else to slop.
The average American newspaper is greatly CIV
en- to this species of buncombe. If some gush-
ing official should recommend that every man
in the United States, ON n given day, should cut
of slice Of his liver, and offer it up as burnt
sacrifice to hasten the Presidents recovery, or
some other act of Voudooism, there are newspa-
pers all over the country that would abuse every
man who refused to contribute the slice of liver.
Yet that would be fully effective prayer,
and wOuld certainly show stronger faith on the
part of those submitting themselves to the sac
rifice

HIS Foor IN IT, AGAIS.-The King City Gen
try County, MOI Chronicle goes for our beloved
fcllGw-citizen, Robert Cruikshank, in way
that raises the cutiele. 1t publishes what is
termed "An Open Letter" to the Governor Of
Missouri, signed by Robert Cruikshank, former
ly citizen of that State. The letter beslimes
the whole State of Missouri and its people, be-
cause of the outrages of the James boys and 9TH
er robbers, and displays style all through that
savors very much of the spirit of the alleged re-
Kansas bottoms. The Chronicle says that Cruik-
shank ran for q County Office in Andrew Coun-
ty, on a ticket opposed to the regular Repubii-
can ticket, and being defeated, took his depart
urs for Kansas, leaving his taxes in Missouri
unpaid. We suspected that Cruikshank's Re-
publicanism was of this style. He claims to be
a Republican, but the Republican ticket is new
er pure enough for him, and he manages to vote
with the crowd that opposes the Republican
ticket. But it mnst be interesting to the Trus-
tees of Highland University, to have man ut
the head of the institution who will thus gra-
tuitously abuse the people Of an entire State to
which they look for much of their patronage.
No wonder that, in the list Of new students, pub
lished in the Highland paper, not one is report
ed from Missouri. Perhaps his failure to get
any from there, was what induced the meek and
lowly Cruikshank to pitch into the people of the
State so savagely.

What Arthur May Do IL Garfield Dies,

LOUISVILLE, ny. Aug.. a6--Judge o. A. Lochrane,
late Chief Justice of Georgia, and intimate per
sonal friend of Vice President Arthur in an inter.
view with n CourierJournal reporter about the
probabilities of administration changes in the event
Of the Presidents DEATH said: arthur is n man Of
wonderful administrative ability, and would be the
President if he succeeded TO the Office"
In answer TO a question to whether Mr.. Arthur
would make any changes in the Cabinet. Judge
Lochrane said: 'le will do what johnson did when
he succeeded President Lincoln. He will change it,
''who will probably be retained in the Cabinet ! =
General Arthur is friendly toward Mr.. Lincoln
and Mr.. james, do not think he will remove either
of them. Hunt, McVeagh, and Blaine, however,
may suffer"
.'what about Mr.. Conklingi-
''lf Conkling desires. think he can certainly
succeed some one Of the Cabinet officers but know
ing that gentleman personally, though not as well as
do Gen. Arthur do not think he desires or would
accept a Cabinet position In refusing he will be
controlled by national dclicacy.-
do You think it probable that Mr.. Robertson
will be removedf-
II am satisfied that he will. That is one require
ment that the party in New York will make of Gen.
Arthur. He can hardly refuse it. Party harnonira-
ton demands il.

R- One difficulty in the way of a proper IN
derstanding of the Presidents case has been,
that the doctors, in describing his condition,
have used terms that none but those with sur
gical education could understand. But DIR.
Hamilton, in describing the location of the bull
let, has put it so clearly that the most il
literate may understand it. He says he thinks
the bullet is in the right lilac fosse, under the
psoa muscle the external lilac artery lies to
the inner side and in front of this muscle, so
that the ball is directly underneath the artery,
but with thick layer of muscular tissue inter
posed.

~ On Sunday, after the news was received
that the President was worse, the guar,is were
being changed at the Washington prison, when
a soldier named Mason whanged away at Quit
eau, and almost saved him, the bull just grazing
his cheek. Mason has been placed in the mill
tary prison. The civil authorities should claim
him, and give him trial. No jury would con-
Wet him. But n red-tape military eourt-mar-
tial would probably punish him, and give him
worse treatment than Guiteau is receiving.
Guiteau will be murdered, in the end, and that
man will be doing him kindness who puts him
out of his misery speedily.
