THE CLOUDS AGOvE THE EEAD OF
MACEAVOY, THE GREENBACKER,


THE CLOUDS AGOVE THE EEAD OF
MACSAVOY, THE GREENBACKER,
VANISHING.
Erie, Nov. 4.-William Mackavoy,
the Greenback politician who became
suddenly insane on account of Patti
sons election over Armstrong, after
being lodged in Jail continued very
violent until Sunday afternoon, when
a change for the better was noted. Up
to that time he remained in his cell,
angrily diving away every person
who attempted to enter, and obsti-
nately refusing to swallow either food
or medicine. At frequent intervals he
would upset pail of water on the
floor and mop himself in the moisture,
apparently deriving vast amount of
satisfaction from his imitation of a
pig rolling in gutter. Then on get
ting up he would send the bed clothes
flying all over the cell and kick them
under the bed while he wiped himself
over the floor again, when exercise
with the quilts, pillows, etc, was
called in play to assist him in Willing
away his leisure time. After dinner
he suddenly grew quiet and the light
of insanity faded from his eyes. Open
ing the door of his cell he walked out
into his corridor and entered into con-
versation with the jailor, saying the
clouds which enveloped his head were
vanishing and that his boiling brain
was growing cooler. Warden Rath-
bun says that unless he goes off on poll
tics again, thereby producinga relapse,
he will completely recover his senses
in few days, thus obviating the neces-
sity of removing him to Warren for
treatment.

Boston, Nov. l9.-The employees
at the retail establishment of Jondan,
Marsh & Co., were astonished last
week to hear that a little, black haired
cash boy, named Thomas Loeman,
had suddenly become a "bloated"
bondholder by a sudden freak of for
tune. He is only thirteen years of
age, and, with his little brother and
sister, lived with an aunt in this city.
The parents of the children are both
dead, and these orphans received the
intelligence last week that an uncle,
who had died in Australia, had left
them fortune amounting to $1,000
900. The children will be sent to st.

educated under the care of trustees.

Democrats Must Show Their Hands.
Chicago Times. j

lChlcagO Times.
The Democrats for a good while
have been talking very sweetly for
civil service reform, tariff reform,
curtailments of appropriations, re-
ductions of internal taxes, and all
manner of nice things. They have
viewed the course of the deprived
party in power with alarm, and in no
measured terms have denounced it for
its corruption and extravaganza. Next
winter they will have complete con-
troll of the lower House of Congress.
Will they improve upon the party
which they succeed? They will have
a clear majority of eighty over the
Republicans, and no better opportu-
nity could be presented to demonstrate
the sincerity Of their professions. The
public will look for reform and econ
omy. "The devil when sick a monk
would be-" but when in the enjoy
ment of robust health he is pretty GER
tain to "cut up' as wickedly as ever.
Is this the case of the Democrats

One morning recently Mr.. Mark
Hirsch, of Covington, arose from his
bed at three o'clock A. NJ. to go to
his work in a glass factory. Before
leaving the house he shook the ashes
down in the parlor stove, and, as he
supposed, closed the doors and draft,
but probably left the door open. Mr..
j. B. Hirsch came along a short
time afterwards, and upon opening
the door smelled the gas and knew
something was wrong. Upon enter
ing he found Mrs. H..and the oldest
child lying helpless on the floor,
whom he Immediately carried out
doors. and sent for physician. The
youngest child still occupied the bed,
and not one of the three was able to
move or utter sound, and were
nearly suffocated. The physician says
that had their situation been dis
covered fifteen minutes later the case
would have been hopeless. AS it was
the parties soon recovered. 1t was
certainly narrow escape from death.

Lovely specimens of the most artistic work
in crockery and lamps are now to be seen in
crockery stores. Large pottery lamps of the
most exquisite workmanship, perfect in color
and taste, are what every first-class crock
cry store offers for fall trade. Lamps are
made with bodies, either very large round
or long and cylinder-shaped, with an interior
brass cup for containing the oil. Papier
Mache lamps are the latest in this
line, and originated in the cele-
brated crockery store of Abram French
of Boston. These lamps are perfect in the
blending of the most brilliant coors upon
the base of the lamps. and are excellent
limitations of celebrated Clausanne & Longwy
potteries. Lamps are made with large bull
bous bodies in colors to suit the furnishing
of apartments. The rage for pottery has ex-
tended to chandeliers. and the very latest
chandeliers for gas fixtures are made of
polished brass, with Longwy and Limoges
pottery ornamentati0ns.
In crockery the latest and most curious
freak is that of sets of odd pieces, every
person at the table being supplied with cup
and saucer differently ornamented and even
differently shaped from his neighbors'
Plates thus become as much piece of prop
erty as a napkin and ring. Casters are out
of date, and individual vinegar cruets and
pepper and salts Of Longwy and cracked
glass have supplied their places. Bread and
milk sets three pieces, bowl plate and cream
pitcher of the fOrget-me-not pattern are fash
ionable, and very neat and pretty. 1t is diff
cult to conceive what rapid strides the civil
lied world is making in its method of eating
and its consideration for the influence of its
surroundings, but visit to a crockery store
will aid in a proper appreciation.

The committee of the Longfellow Statue
Association on circulars has prepared the fol-
lowing general statement of the purposes of
the association:
1t is proposed to erect in Portland. the city
of his birth. a bronze statue of Henry Wads-
worth LongfellOw, as an enduring expression
of admiration and love for the illustrious man
and poet, in remembrance of the affection
which he cherished for the scenes of his
youth, and of the honor with which his life
and genius have crowned his native city and
State. 1t would be a strange neglect of
beautiful and approved custom, both of an
cient and modern times. if the traveller. IA
miliar with the poets life and works, with
the sculptures which preserve his face and
figure and attest bis fame and influence in
other cities and lands, were to find, at his
birthplace. no worthy memorial of him. The
clear perception of an imperative duty in this
respect, as we'll as a common interest in the
subject. has led to the formation of the Long
fellow Statue Association. The statue, which
it will erect, will be of artistic excellence, an
honor to the city and the State. a source of
interest and pleasure to all.
The organization of the association is now
completed, and contributions to its funds are
invited from the people of Maine, and from
all those beyond the limits of the State who
may be interested in the proposed statue at
the birthplace of the poet. The payment of
one dollar entities the contributor to men,
bership in the association, and the names of
all contributors will be engrossed and placed
below the statue. Contributions should be
sent to Philip Henry Brown, treasurer, Port
land, Me.
