ly disappointed. He did not, like
philosopher, sit down in his own
chamber and quietly bemoan his ILL.,
fortune, but he put on his war pant
and went for that Heather Chlnee
who defeated his aspirations, IN the
following vigorous english:
We have q Senator in our midst.
Tt is true he has never been elected
to any position by the people OF Chl
cage, and it may be doubtful whether
he could be so elected, but to MN
alone the powers at Washington look
for advice and counsel in selecting
local subordinates in Chicago. IN
deed, il the reports of his friends are
true, this superior being scarcely
deigns to advise and counsel, but
rather dictates to the President and
Cabinet what they shall do for Chl-
caoo. Some innocent might say that
the voice Of the people ought to be
more potent than even Senator or
Congressman, but under this rule 1t
cannot make itself heard. 1t is buried
a thousand fathoms under the STEM
torian tones of the Senator.
When we remember that the Inter
Ocean has been one of Senator L0-
CANS staunehest supporters, the
depth of this editors disappointment
will be appreciated. But not salts
fed with this thrust at Senator Lo'-
can. the Inter Ocean gives the Presl-
dent a dig in the fifth rib as follows;
! The President, we believe, is anx-
ious to harmonic the discordant eie-
ments of the Republican party, but
il is difficult to see how he can do this
by placing all the sinews OF warfare
in the hands of the leader of one fac
ton, and refusing to consider the
complaints of the other. 30 far as
Chicago IS concerned, Senator Logan
is the head of a political faction, and
minority faction at that. We
appeal to all sensible men, Stalwart
and anti -Stalwart, if this is an honest
and fair division of political honor
and influence? In this we are saying
nothing about the character of the
appointees. Let them be of never
so high a character, they cannot ig~
more the influence that gave tuem pc
position, ard the result must be the
building up of one public man at the
expense of the rest. 1t will delnor>
alize the public service, and disln-
tegrate the party, and will eventually
result in its inglorious and complete
defeat.
In order to properly appreciate all
this, it must be remembered that the
Inter Ocean has been the organ OF
the ''Stalwart faction" of which it
speaks. The editor is disappointed
and angry, and would be as well for
him to keep still until he cools off.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1881.

From every direction we hear Of
crime growing out Of the free use of
whisky in Christmas times. We
have had our share of it in Knox
vile. At Helenwood, on the Cincin-
natl Southern road, there was big
drunken family row, which resulted
in six men being shot, three of whom
are dead. Similar tragedies were
doubtless enacted in many commun-
tiles on q smaller scale, all from d
too free use of whisky. What sacs
Tilege for men to celebrate the birth
OF the Saviour of the world by getting
drunk VIII we always hazard our
reputation as law-abiding people ?
Are men to shed each others blood
IN this way without any at
tempt at a remedy? Are
the hearts of mothers to be wrung
with anguish over the conduct of
drunken sons, aud are children to cry
for bread because of drunken fathers,
without the strong arm of the law
being invoked for their relief Ger
tain cities throughout the country
are in q state of excitement over a
few cases Of small pox, and the mu-
nieipal powers of these cities are inr
yOked to prevent the spread of this
dreadful malady, But whisky is
killing hundred times more men,
women and children than smallpox.
When will the authorities OF this
country rise to the Importance of
checking this monstrous evil of the
times?

4 Sensation Vt q Wedding.

YESTERDAY afternoon well-known
man le'l to the altar ut st. Johns
Church on Dryads Street a fair bride, in
the presence Of host Of friends of both
parties, and the ceremony of marriage
proceeded until interrupted by the en-.
trance into the church of Il cIosely-veiled
woman,w who carried child in her arms.
She staggered rather than walkedup the
center aisle, and stood Immediately
back Of he contracting parties until the
officiating father asked the question,
"Does any one object to this marriage?"
when the woman threw her veil aside,
and stepping in front Of the bewildered
groom exclaimed, ~ do.' Then, turn.
ing, she stopped and laid the child she
carried ut the feet of the groom, saying,
Here Is your child. You are my hus.
band. l am lawfully your wife, and
you shall not marry this woman" OF
course everything was in the greatest
confusion in a moment. The groom
and his friends ragged; the bride wept;
the accusing woman flew at her be.
trayer, and would have torn his clothing
into sheds had not an officer hurried to
the scene Of the frantic struggle and
carried the infuriated woman from the
church by main force. during which time
her screams and denunciatiOns were ter.
rifle. The ceremony then proceeded
quietly to close. The woman who
created the disturbance stated the groom
of Yesterday and the husband of to-day
has led her to believe for the past four
years that she was his lawfully welded
wife. and labOring under that belief had
lived with him, but some time ago he
began q series Of neglects which termin-
ated in separation, and total desertion
on his part OF both herself and their
helpless child. She is in q state of alb
solute despair, and almost mad with
grief. The story Of the girl is sad one.
She said she was green, unsophisti-
Gated girl when she met her fate in the
shape Of the man who was married on
Wednesday. lie was then employed as
an officer at one of the lake resorts. She
had accumulated some $500 or $500,
and this she had lavished on the one she
firmly believed to be her husband. He
was wont to show her what he alleged
to be marriage certificate, and happy
in the thought she fOrbore asking ques-
tons, satisfied in his truth and trusting
to his honor. -New orleans Special 10

THIRTY years ago, one Of the popular
lecturers in this country was Henry
Giles, an Irish Unitarian clergyman
Now, at an advanced age and paralyzed.
ne Is forgotten, save by those who pro.
vide for his wants. "TempIeton," the
Boston correspondent of the Hartford
Conrnnt. tells the following anecdote OF
the oncc-nOted man. "He was a man
Ut large self.esteem, and considerable
capacity Of self-assertion, which stood
in the way OF his success in the ministry.
| call to mind one incident which il was
my fate to witness. Mr.. Giles was en-
gagged one summer Sunday to preach in q
town about ten miles from Boston. He
stood up in the pulpit to announce his
text. Exactly 1t the same moment. q
tired farmer. who occupied conspicu.
GUS pew in front Of the pulpit.
drew red silk handkerchief
from his pocket, deliberately spread.
ing II over his own bald head
and forehead to protect them from the
flies, and resigned himself to slumber.
This was too much for the dignity Of
Mr.. Giles. He stopped, shut his ser.
mon, and began to glare at the somno.
lent parishioner. The latter rested in
serene hnconsciousness, while tho rest Of
the congregation looked to see how this
singular duel would end. The silence
became protrscted, till all at once it ap.
peared to occur to the individual who
was the cause Of il that it was worth
while 10 ascertain what it was al shout.
.Heremoved his handkerchief and looked
up, only to find himself fixed by the
glittering eye OF the preacher, and BY
the eyes OF everybody else! With 4
convnlsive start, he abandoned sll
thought OF . nap that day, and the SET.
mon went Oh. In fact, 1t was . pretty
lively congregation for : hot Sunday"
