Opposition Against Newcomb.

Erie Press July Ist:
Opposition Against Newcomb.
For some time past efforts have been made
to throw obstacles in the way of the confrma-
ton of the appointment Of Newcomb as post
master OF San Antonio and to retain Manning
in position. These democratic gentlemen
have for so many years had control of the
federal offices and patronage that it is incom-
prehensible to them how an appointment can
be made at Washington without being con-
suited or their consent asked. When Cos.
ling was nominated the whole democratic
press went into ecstacies. Why! because
democrats had nothing to fear from Costing.
But now, for once, a true republican Is
nominated for federal position
and at once a democratic persecution
sets in against the nominated candidate
and petitions are circulated to influence the
senate to reject the nomination of Newcomb.
Sometimes 1t seems we are yet living in
the times of reconstruction, when the only
argument of the democracy against the re-
publicans consisted of vulgar and disgraceful
insults, and the political views are considered
criminal in whomsoever may share them, and
activity in the interest Of the party is called
dirty work.
Great in this kind of polemic is the San
Antonio Times, since it is making every effort
to obtain the same low base as the old defunct
and by all the world despised San Antonio
Herald.
So far none of the opponents
of Newcomb have been able to produce one
good, sound cause or reason why he should
not be confirmed. Personal ill-will is the
only argument. If an impartial choice is to be
made between Manning and Newcomb, then
il will not be hard to choose. As a man and
gentleman Newcomb is decidedly preferable
to Manning; and concerning business qualif-
cations we are willing to sign petition for
Manning, if within three months after taking
possession, Newcomb conducts the affairs Of
the post-ofice as loose and careless as it has
been conducted by Manning.
When your "Roberts'' made nominations
we never had anything to say, we know in
this comfy the spoils belong to the conqueror,
the fundamental corner stone of the demo-
cracy. Gen. Jackson said so; consequently
do not trouble yourself about nominations

An Extraordinary Vermont Family.

Boston Journal
James Herman, of Mooretown, whose
wife presented him with four children at one
birth ten days ago, has received notice that
the government (by way of encouraging his
efforts to replenish the army had granted him
pension with arrears of $42o. He says
that the pension was granted on the day of
the children's birth, and he congratulates
himself on a good days work, which he fig
ures as follows
Three boys, $1,000 each ............. $4,000
one girl $500. ... ...... 500
Pension with back pay...... ........ 42o
So 92o
Mr.. Herman is a poor man, dependent
upon his labor which was impaired on &C
count of wound which he received at the
battle of the Wilderness, for which he now re-
ceives pension. His house is thronged by
hundreds who get to see the babies, of which
there are four ten days old. He has already
received over $Ioo in presents and COW
from the neighbors and visitors. Mrs. Harri-
man is about 80 years of age. Her mother
and grandmother are living near her. The
grandmother had II children, ann FIVE of the
sons served in the army. Her mother also
has large family. This private family affair
OF Mr.. Hartman has created great excitement
IN this community, and people come many miles
to view the Glitter" of children. Enterprisinp
showmen have already proposed to place the
mother and children on exhibition, but the
father has declined to entertain their offers.

Mrs. Kate SpraRue.

Mrs. Kate Chase, as she will now be called,
says Washington correspondent, is still ex-
tremely handsome, but it is the glamour of a
past beauty rather than that which still exists.
She looks faded and haggard. The papers
that have rushed to the defense of Mrs.
Sprague's wardrobe, and assert that she has
been Cinderella since 1879, evidently have
not seen that lady for some years. She is
now, as she always was, one of the most
beautifully costumed women in Washington.
She is always elegantly dressed, and elegant
clothes can be bought for a song. Mrs.
SPrague never had the reputation of denying
herself. About year ago she appeared one
day in the gallery of congress in a dark-preen
costume that connoisseurs pronounced ex-
quisite. Exquisite dresses cost money. The
pretty romance that Mrs. Spraeue has been
Icing on nothing is perfect nonsense. She is
not the kind of woman who could or would
live on nothing. Does any practical person
suppose that family of a mother and three
daughters can keep up an establishment and
horses and carriages, and give little dinners,
and take trips on the pittance with which the
know nothing papers credit her! Or is it re-
markable thai woman reared in luxury
should hesitate to use money of her husbands
because she feared his creditors would suf3e,e
Ninety-nine worldly women out of a hundred
would do just as Mrs. Sprague does.

longing to Christian family, sud

locality being subsequently, charged
by public rumor with having assas-

remains. A married couple named
Scharf are under arrest on suspic
ion of being connected with the girls

just addressed memorial to Minis
ter President Tisza, revealing state
of things in Hungary worthy of the
Middle Ages. 1t contains the fol

The most conspicuous feature in
the evening scene lat Saratoga was q
lady from Philadelphia, fair, young,
and petite, a Mrs Moore, whose sleeve.
less dress of rare point lace is said to
have cost 10000; and in whose hair
and ears, and on whose shoulders,
bosom, neck, wrists and hands were
displayed diamonds that must have
run up into hundreds Of thousands
in value; in solitaires, crescents hor-
izontal bands and graceful pendants,
that flashed and cleaned whenever
there was the shadow of an excuse
for them. Her husband, a gentle
manly, middle aged man in appear
ance, supported her on his arm; and
little in the rear, solemn-visaged
and absorbed in intense watchfulness
of her, a private detective in citizens
dress, wound his way in and out amid
the brilliant scene 1t was strange
spectacle. People held their breath
and called her ''the Diamond Queen"

THE RAINBOW TINTED STREAK,

Into which the spectroscope resolves
such light, there are seen numbers of
dark lines corresponding to these
missing tints. In the case OF light
from self-luminous solid or liquid
mass no such dark lines are seen.
But the faint light of comet is not
very easily analysed as closely as is
necessary to show whether these dark
lines exist in it or not. Until quite
recently astronomers have been con-
tent to regard the presence of a con-
tinuous rainbow tinted spectrum
with or without dark lines, as evidence
that the comet shone by reflected sun.
