The Lancaster lNTELLIGENCEE must
look to its laurels as = Democratic organ.
1t still has the field in Lancaster as the os-
tensiblc Democratic oracle, but the Lam
caster Examiner, under the inspiration of
its new bowling Democratic editor,
seriously threatens to distance the INTELLI-
GENCEE in political usefulness to the
Democratic party. There is evident method
in the madness of the howling Democratic
editor of the Stalwart organ in declaring
from day to day that only proved Legislative
jobbers are entitled to Republican support,
anG tho legislators who maintained their in
tergrity and honestly represented the
people should be disgraced by defeat. The
one thing that has defeated machine Re
pubiicanism in Philadelphia and that row
thre atens its defeat in state and nation. is
tho prostitution Of a once great party to
the devices Of bosses and jobbers and the
Examiner is now fairly entitled to it's brevet
as one of the most useful Democratic
organs in the state. Whether Chairman
Bogert, Of tho Democratic state commit
tee, has furnished the Examiner; with it's
bowling Democratic editor by contract, We
are not advised but if he didn't do so, he
is getting the most for the least out of that
Stalwart organ for the Democratic cause.

would hold it's Democratic orpansbin

tions as this fippant article in the
North american brings forward. If an
other president were assassinated in a
similar manner (which may God forbid y
they would employ the very best surgical
skill and again betake themselves to
prayer to God for his recovery which
shows how little their belief in science
and their faith in God are shaken by
such high-minded, but empty, efforts to
undermine them.
The law, the judge, the lawyers and
the jury, with the doctorsand preachers,
come in for their share of castigation
from this female regulator, as she sits
perched on her throne of judgment.
Having demolished surgery, theology
and law, she finds nothing in all this
nation to praise except the departed
president, the hero of the sad tragedy.
He had touched and turned from the
pulpit and the bar, and found in politics
only his congenial and abiding home" :"
1t is acomfort then, that when all else on
earth fails there is refuge for true and
great souls in politics Such is the con-
clusion of this Spent Bullet - The
New York Herald not inaptly reminds
it's author that she has not referred to
what Blaine did or failed to do for
Garfield, the enumeration of which
might possibly prove to her satisfaction
that he supplied the balm which was not
found in Gilead.

The Bible belonging to the Senate, and

Our Diplomatic Relations.

Mr.. w. II. Hurlbert, editor of the New
York World, is the brother of the late
General Hurlbut, minister to Peru, and
has been giving some interesting testi
mODy to the committee on foreign affairs,
embOdying his knowledge of tie Blaine

General Hurlbut sailed upon his mission
upon the day that Garfield was shot,
bearing with him, to supplement his writ

Blaine and Garfield that he subse.

brother, 6 was the motive for my action. -
He had greater trust than his brother
had in the steadfastness of Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Hurlbert, in his present testimony
photographs Blaine as livery charming
and attractive, but he affected me as
kind of engaging political flirt,
much more interested in making
engagements than in committing matri

apd calr ed him to disapprove, the acts of
the minister who bad declared to his
brother before his departure that he was
invested with elastic powers to carry out
the policy begun under Mr.. Evarts, to
bring about peace by the exercise of all
legitimate and effectual ways Of Ameri-
can influence, as prepondcrating over all
other influences there to induce the re-
publics to cease fighting and to prevent
the spoliatiOn Of Peruvian territory, and
the dismemberment of Peru being made
a precedent condition of negotiations.
General Grant appears, from letter
produced by the witness, written by
Grant to the Peruvian minister, as en-
dorsing the same policy. He also testi-
ties to having heard that Mr.. COrbin,
Grants brother in-law, owned at one
time half of the Landrean claim; and
that Jay Cooke and Henry d. Cooke

The investigation of this committee is
getting interesting and when all the
witnesses have spoken we are likely to

matte affairs than was ever dreamed of
in our philOSODhy.

BEFORE abandoning it's (thus far iinan-
cialIy unsuccessfuD attempt to maintain a
free reading room and public library in
this city, the Y. NJ. C. A. will appeal to
the citizens to raise $1,000 to put the asso-
citation and its property clear of all debt
and beyond the possibility of incurring
any hereafter, the donors to control and
direct the property to this end and to the
maintenance Of this trust. Another
scheme which has been proposed is the
establishment cf local institute or
athen1um, TO include the Y. II. c. A., a
free reading room and public library, and
to promote every scientific, literary and
moral agency which should seek its patron
age. Some institution of this kind is
necessary to the well-bcing of our COM
munity, and the appeal of tho Y. NJ. G. A.
deserves thoughtful consideration. Our
young people need means of intelligent
and salutary entertainment, and for the
credit of tue city 4; free reading room
should be maintained. We understand
that several handsome subscriptions are
assured contingent upon the whole amount
being raised. Who gives quickly, there
fore, gives twice.

JAY GOULD'S YACHT
The New York Millionaire Proposes to PIOw the
Ocean Blue

Ocean Blue.
Mr.. Jay Gould, piqued at the success which
has followed William BeIden, his late part
ner, in the yachting line, and envious of the
fame Of the Yosemite in cutting down and
sinking large steamboat like the G. Wander
bilt, has determined 10 become yacht
owner. He has taken the preliminary steps
by purchasing the yacht Roslyn. This craft
is 85 feet long, or nearly sixteen times the
length of its millionaire owner. She is u
fast vessel, and, it is said, can make eighteen
knots an hour. Jay Gould, after bearing"
the yacht market and circulating all sorts
OF rumors that the fever for indulgence in
this style of naval architecture WAS abating,
managed to buy in the Roslyn for $4,000,
precisely so per cent. less than it cost the
builder. Henceforth Mr.. Gould will pocket
mis- free pass of the New York Central road,
or loan it to one of his Wall street friends
az a moderate commission, and his daily
trips to and from IrviDgton-o or -the-Hudson
will be made in his yacht Roslyn. There
was a wild rumOr ailoat on Wall street
recently to the effect that Jay Gould has
cabled to Commodore Jim Bennett making
proposition that the Roslyn and Namouna
be chartered to the Government at a good stiff
sum, to form a fleet for another polar eXpedi-
tion, and that the crew be composed of GER
tain personal friends of the two millionaires
who it is desirable to get rid Of 1t is further
rumored, though not generally credited, that
Mr.. Gould also intimated in the dispatch
that, while they would both gain reputa-
tion of being public philanthropists in thus
starting q scientific exploration, the expe-
Tience of the Jeanette had shown that they
would merely be sending their friends to a
slow and torturing death amid the glaciers
Of the polar seas-B0stOR HerdEd

OF the Queen of Tahiti.
Dorance Atwater, member of the Con-
necticut cavalry, was taken prisoner during
the war, and for many months endured the
horrors of AndersOnville Being an excel
lent penmau, be was detailed to the hospital
department, and managed to secure a copy
of the death records, comprising over twelve
thousand names of Union soldiers. This he
secreted about his person, and brought it
away with him when released. This record
proved to be OF great value to the Govern
men, and was the first notice the families of
the victims received of the fate of the soldiers
The Government disputed his right to the
possession of the records, and this injustice
with the starvation he endured, broke down
his health and it was long time before he
recovered After long delay his services
were recognized, and he was appointed consul
to the Seychelle Islands, in the Indian Ocean,
and after some years he was made consul at
Tahiti. While there he married the Princess
MOitia, the daughter OF the Queen of Tahiti.
His wife IS the owner of an island IN the
Pacific, and at the last Paris Exhibition he
exhibited q fine collection of pearls from
that island. Two months ago he obtained
leave of absence on account of ill-healtf,
and is now on his way to San Francisco with
his rfineess wife. On this journey they
have visited the principal islands in the
South Pacific, including the Sandwich
Islands, and have been welcomed with
almost royal honors.

A WOMAN AND HER BALLOON,

Mile. Carlotta, the 1r0naut who aScended
from Congress Spring Park, Saratoga, We'd
nesday afternoon, descended safely. She says
when the balloon was seen to veer to the
north it struck n new current, and for q time
was whirled around in vortex and the
basket was shaken and twisted in frightful
manner. Her barometer showed that she
was two miles and a-half high and it was
so cold that her breath condensed and
steamed as on January morning. Just
after she began to descend the vaIve-cord
broke and she could not control the balloon.
1t came down quite rapidly toward large
tract of woods, and she could not control
her landing place. She did not dare to
throw out her ballast, for fear she could not
descend when she desired. The balloon came
sweeping down and bounded along on the
tops of the trees until finally its cords got
twisted in the branches, and it was held fast
in the top of tree in the depths of the
Hosea Baker woods. Fortunately the atten-
ton of James Cleveland was attracted to the
balloon as it descended by the great commo-
ton among the chickens and turkeys, and
he set out and found the lady in her perilous
position. He was obliged to chop down the
tree, when the balloon and the Hronaut also
came down with only few scratches. The
balloon, which is sixty-iye feet in circum-
ference when filled, was borne on Mr. Cleve-
lands shoulders out of the woods, and Mile.
Carlotta, with her sillzen car, reached Sara
toga by private conveyance about 10 o'clock
in the evening. The distance to the Baker
woods is about six miles. This is the eight
ieth ascension Mile. Carlotta has made and
the siXty-seventh with this balloon.
