The indignation of the Il. dianapolis
Sentinel has finally take'a form. Thus
the Sentinel speaks; it is exceeding
~ credible to the Democratic press Of
this country that it has scrupulously
abstained from commenting upon
President Garfeld's partisan and
politiosl record and antecedents since
the bullet Of an infamous republican
struck him down. From the moment
that the devlish republican wretch
committed the assault upon the life of
President Garfield the democratic
press Of the country has made no re-
marks, has INDUCED in no comments,
which, had they been read to the Pres
ident, would have disturbed the
serenity of mind or added a pang to
the wound inflicted by a republican
whelp Of hell. Nor do we propose at
this juncture to be drawn into any
controversy relating to such questions
We now know that President Garfield
is sweltering and painting on a bed of
pain, and possibly on a bed of death.
and that his pain and peril was caused
By bullet fired by an execrable re-
publican, a creature and a creation of
republicanism."

The Wrightsville Recorder tells of

The Wrightsville Recorder tells of
a curious "fnd" made by two par,
ties who were getting out wood OF
Cedar creek, near the WriGhtsville
graveyard: They cut and split a
large white oak, 10 the butt Of which,
about three feet from the ground,
they found, four inches inside of the
surface of the tree, hole that had
been bored about six inches deep
with an inch auger. In this auger
hole was found lodged at the heart
of the tree bundle of human hair
nicely wrapped in paper and tied
with a strong cotton string. A com
pletely seasoned and nicely made
white oak peg, about six inches long,
was driven tightly over this bundle
The tree, which had no sligo of a
scar upon it, is supposed to have
grown eight inches in diameter
since the hole was bored, as it was
four inches from the surface to the
head of the peg. The bundle, peg
and everything looked as freGh and
new as if they had been placed there
the day before. Some who claim to
be posted on the growth of trees have
counted the grains and made a cal
culation. They say that the bundle
must have remained imbedded in the
trunk of this huge tree at least fifty
years.

A beautiful girl who went by the
nickname of La Comete, and flashed
through the Partisan world during
the last year of the second Empire
has Just died in Paris hospital alb
soluteIy destitute. She was called
''Comet" on account of the exceed,
lug length aud loneliness of her gold
en- hair. Teeophile Gautier wrote a
sonnet to her, Cabanel painted her
portrait, Worth dressed her, and
Leon Cugnot took her as the model
of his pretty statue, ola Baigneuse "
Her real name was Adele Terchou,,
aud just before the Frsnco>German
war broke out she declined an offer
of marriage from an elderly Duke a
very ancient escutcheon. AT that
time she owned one of the finest
mansions in the Champs Elyses, had
twelve horses in her stable, and 8
bushel of diamonds in her dressing
case. The disease which carried her
off was the most hideous that could
befalI a pretty woman-a cancer in
the face, whic:a totally disfgured
her. Like Zolas Mana the only
vestige left of her beauty when she
died was her matchless hair, which
mearured nearly five feet long.

A Rather Tough story by the Author Of
Maj. Jones Courtship.'
The Savannah News ID not much
given to sensation or improbable sto
ries, but the following from that pas
per few days back, puts it promi
nently forward as an euterprising
sheet:
We learned yesterday of an anus
ing incident which occurred on rice
plantation near the city, owned by
one of our prominent citizens. On
going to his plantation day or two
since, the gentleman was met by ope
of his colored hands, who informed
him that fine mule had fallen in
ditch aud couldn't he gotten out,
having broken his fore. leg. The
darkey stated that it was necessary
to kill the animal to relieve him from
misery, and asked permission to
shoot him. The planter, who is a
very humane gentleman, deprecated
such a proceeding, and instructed
that additional efforts be made to get
the mule out and place him on some
straw to make the poor creature as
comfortable as possible This was
tried, but to no purpose. The poor
animals fore leg was in the hole, and
apparently badly broken, so one Of
the colored men started to the house
forthe gun, intending to shoot him.
Just about the time the executioner
reached the spot where the poor
mule was lying, the old darkey,
whose duty it was to see the stock
fed, sang out in stentorian tones,
twelve o'clock-feed your mules"
To the amazement of all, the mule,
whose leg was supposed to be bro
ken, pricked up his long ears, made
a lunge, got on his feet and trotted
off lively for the stable. A few @ins
utes more and he would have been a
dead mule-and would have paid the
penalty CT his trick with his life.
This is an actual occurrence, and
scores another point to the credit of
the sagacity of chat much abused
animal. When be fell in the ditch,
although unhurt, he concluded to
remain there until feeding time.

WHAT MoRMoN1sm IS.

There is a paper in the North
American Review for March from
the pen of Judge Goodwin, that
ought to be considered by members
of Congress. What he says is we'll
calculated to arouse the attention Of
thoughtful Americans. Our people
generally know 80 little about the
moustrosities of Mormonism, that
they have no proper conception of
what dangerous power is being de
veloped in our country that is charg-
ed with elements that will work
great trouble generation hence if
not destroyed now. 10 our country
there is people who have erected
kingdom of their own that is un-
like the States, that is at war with
our institutions, and that is subver
i've to morality. Mormonism is prac-
sically opposed to our laws, our faiths
and our interests. 1T is a cancer eat
ing away and spreading it's fibres of
disease as it grows.
Judge Goodwin presents some
facts that are alarming He says
that only one twenty fifth of the PEG
pie of Utah are not Mormons, and
that in Arizona and Idaho they hold
the balance of power They are also
colonizing Colorado, Wyoming,
Washington and Montana. They are
even saying now that they expect
in the end to control this country,
and that such is their present "tem-
poral aim" They expect to have
the balance of power 10 Montana and
Wyoming very soon. They all vote
solid and always obey the church (O
however base the command.
The Mormon teaching in many
respects is peculiar and corruptive,
aside from its views concerning mar
riage. 1t is at enmity with the civil
government, which it declares to be
illegal. The Mormons say their
government is from heaven, and that
their spiritual rulers are Gods vice
gerents on earth, infallible-infalli-
BILE in religious and civil matters.
They regard the Constitution of the
United States as nothing-as so
many cobwebs when it stands in the
way of their church. They obey
the law of the church always before
the laws of the United States. Any
defeat of the latter when the church
is to be served is regarded as vir-
tue, even if it be perjury in the wit
ness box. Polygamy is the founds,
ton of the church, and the church

obedience.
Such, in brief, remarks the Wash
ington Star, is Mormonism. 1t stands
grasping and defiant. The country
looks on and does nothing. The
Congress appears powerless, and the
grows apace in the mean
time. How long

How Texas Farmeri ranged for Bis
Death fom Hydrophobia.
A Dallas, Texas, letter says: a
tragic death has just occurred in our
ueighboring comfy of Hill, worth
relating and worthy of Virginius or
any other Roman father. One year
ago George Arnold came to Dallas
on private business, and while walk
ing the streets was bitten by a
worthless cur which was frothing at
the mouth and showing other symp>
toms of hydrophobia. Mr.. Arnold
became alarmed and very much ex
cited when convinced in his own
mind the dog was mad. He went to
physician and had the wound Sc
verely cauterized. Then, going
home he was still very uneasy, and
dreaded hydrophobis sosmuch that
be hunted up the maidstone and had
it applied tor several weeks. off and
on. He took every other precaution
which was suggested, resting all the
time under mortal dread that the
virus had gone into his system ard
would sooner or later kill him. He
had wife and several small children
living on a rather isolated farm, and
the thought that he might sud
denly lose his reason and harm his
little babes Mortified him. The other
day he began to experience strange
feelings, and at once concluded Ills
time hao come. He then procured
twelve foot trace chain and strong
lock, and went to the woods. After
writing his wife calm letter, in
which he told her what was about to
happen, giving directions as to his
wishes after death, and pouring out
volume of love for her and her chill
dren, be ran the chain around tree
and drew it through the large ring
at the end, and then wound the other
end around his ankle so tight that it
would not slip the foot, locked it
with the lock and threw the key be-
yond his reach. The body was found |
two daysssafter, still chained to the
tree. There was all the evidence
necessary to show the horrible death
from hydrophobia. The ground was
torn up to the full length of the chain,
the nails of the fingers wrenched off
aud all his front teeth out in scratch
ing and biting the tree, and every
thread of clothing off his body.
The body was dredfully lscerated
with these, the only weapons the
mailman could use. He had judged
rightly what would have been the
consequence had he remained at
home, and knowing that there
was no human skill that could have
cured him, preferred death alone, and
in that way to doing harm to those
so near and dear to him as wife
and child
Arnold was originally from TalIa-
degs, Ain, where he married, and |
where his widow has many friends
and relatives.

Jay Gould, who was in St. Louis

porter of the Globe>Democrat ::
The personal appearance of thu re-
nowDed capitalist is at once pleasant
and forbidding He is very small
of stature, measuring 8 feet 3 inches
in height, and weighing l35 pounds.
He wears full beard and mustache,
has small black eyes, large ears, and
iron-gray hair. He was clad yes
terday morning 10 pair of tight fit
ting, light colored pants, a small
blue coat and vest, of common text
ure and bad make, heavy chin
chilla overcoat, navy blue in color,
which certainly did not cost over
SIS, bright yellow and red scarf
of antigua pattern, fine dress
hat, and new pair of button shoes.
Mr.. Gould has the nose of General
Grant, but there the comparison
ends. While engaging in converse
ton he does not sqOareiy face one,
unless he is not interested and de-
sires the interview to close. In the
latter case he half closes both eyes
and looks at one SO steadily and per-
sis.ently that one is glad to escape.
His smiles and polite words are full
of cordially and cynicism, and while
he shakes hands earnestly, there is
40 underlined pressure about it which
leads one to believe that Mr.. Gould
suspects himself of something"

ed to have shaken the universe.
Crawling to the door he tried to get

Then it slowly presented itself to his
dazed mind that bis cabin had been
buried by an avalanche He trim
med his lamp and watched for day
light, but no daylight came. Several
hours were passed in horrible sus~
pense. The air in the cabin showed
signs of exhaustion. he was alive
in his grave. He made up his mind
that he must cut his way out. He
began at the peak of the roof, saw
ing a hole big enough to. crawl
through. Then he droppe@ hands
fuls of snow into his caDsag making
g vertical tunnel, the sides Of which
he pecked with his spade. Ta6gefs
ing upwards cagtisaslyx for several
yards he at last shifted fresh air
Then he moved still more cautiously,
and at last emerged, finding himself
on crust that would bear his weight
A few hours of hard work brought
him to an untouched cabin two miles
nearer Leadville.
