DETROIT, February 13.-The legislative
investigation into the alleged bribery by the
promise of Offices and otherwise, in connec-
lion with the pending senatorial contest, has
begun. Thus far the following facts are
elected: The original very positive pub
lished statements affirming that attempts
have been made were based on converse
ton with the Hon. Jay A. Hubbell. The
names of the different members OF the Leg
islature and others who are charged with
being thus approached or cognizlnt of the
facts have been furnished by Mr.. Jay A.
Hubbell, and they will be examined. Jo-
seph II. Chandler, of Houghton, an active
associate of Hubbell in opposition to Ferry,
testified that the collector of Grand Rapids,
and an active friend of Ferry, had endeav-
ored to procure the withdrawal OF the oppo-
sition 10 Ferry by promising him (Chanaler)
to get for Hubbell foreign appointment,
and give the disposition of the Federal pat
ronage in Michigan to himself (Chandler)
and the Hon. George II. Hopkins, member
OF the Legislature from Detroit, and an OPP
ponent of Ferry. Hopkins testified that
Bailey came to him and said: "If you will
go into the room with Ell Ferry and myself
we can fix this whole thing up in Eve min
utes." Bailey subsequently asked him what
he and his friends wanted, and received q
reply that he wanted nothing. Bailey as
sured Hopkins that any statement he made
could be relied on, but qualified it by saying
Ferry had not said SO. Hopkins afterward

which the latter sought to dissuade him from
opposing him, but made no dishonorable
suggestion.

SHELBYvILLE, IND, February IA san-
sation has been brewing for several days,
near Genevs, this county, and now that the
"cat" has been "let out of the bag" the good
people of that locality are all agog over the
events that have recently been TRANSPORTING in
their midst. Some eight months ago Ran
dali Linville, one of the most prominent men
of Union township, was married to Miss
Bessie Kincaid, of the same neighborhood.
They Immediately came to this city and
went to housekeeping on South street, where
they seemed to live as peacefully and as full
OF happiness as it was possible for two NOR
tails TO do. City life, however, was q new
thing for young bride who had lived all
her life in the country; SO that when two
young men of not enviable reputation COM
menced paving her attention during the
-ahsanoa of her husband, she thought there
was nothing wrong in her actions.
Her husband, when he found out what
was going on, told his wife that
the best thing she could do would be to 60
back to her fathers. This action was agreed
upon, and Mrs. Linville started to the depot
10 take the train to her rural home. On the
way TO the station she CHANGED to meet a
friend, and together they retraced their steps
to Mr.. Linville's home on South street. On
arriving home they found the husband
emptying the house of all furniture, loading
il in wagons for the purpose OF taking it TO
his fathers in Union township. The scene
that occurred battles description. Mrs. Lin
Vile pleaded for the mercy of her husband
but to no avail. He turIed deaf ear to
her entreaties, and carted their goods off in
her presence AT near the same time of the
marriage of this couple, Wn. Hutchinson, q
young man hsiling from Illinois, woed, won
and married Miss Luslla Kincaid, sister oil
Miss Linville. Hutchinson and his wife
commenced their lives together near the
residence of w. s. Rosecrans, in Washington
township. Living with them was Mis-,
Kincsid, a sister of the other two
married women. Mrs. Linville wher
she found that her husband wal
determined in his actions, concluded not t.
go 20 her fathers, but went TO her sister's, il
| Washington township. Soon after they wer,
all housed comfortably and commenced t
make some friends young man of the neal
vicinity began paying his attentions to thu
| unmarried sister. For a while all was love

| by Mrs. Linville, courted Mrs. Hutchinson
and 30 continued his admirations as to Gauss

effects and leave his wife. This he did yes

SILVER AND IRON.

The Chattanooga Times is distressed be-
cause the Memphis APPEAL has pointed out
the abyss into which the eighty-three-cent
dollars are plunging the country. 1t may be
asked why that paper, printed amid the
smoke Of iron furnaces, should be so anxious
about silver? Because the monopolists
Just now are in alarm at the showing up
their iniquious tariff system is receiving.
They are all trying TO get the highest duties
they can under the new settlement Congress
i, trying TO make, and therefore stand by
one another in way that, among other
things, induces iron Chattanooga to stand by
silver Nevada on the raid now making upon
the purses of the people. The Times psrades
its figures about the amount of silver Gin
usen 1t was wise to use that term instead
of ain circulation" and to those who under
stand the "use" which is outside of circula-
ton, the Timers figures will be taken 'for
what they are worth" That paper
must count largely upon the ignorance Of
its readers when it supposes that they can be
misled by any partial dres sing up of figures
in the face OF the fact hat another vault for
the reception of silver that dos not circu-
late has to be built; and in the face of the
fact that the Secretary of the Treasury, in
his report TO Congress, says: "The increase
in the circulation of standard silver dollars
between November l, 1881, and November
1, 1882, was less than 81 SOC, 900; the amount
coined during the same time was S27, 772,-
075." The secretary may be presumed to
know what he is speaking Of, and figures
that contradict the simple, clear facts be
details are simply frauds dressed up to
throw dust in the eyes of the people, whether
they are got up in ST. Louis or elsewhere.
The Times tries 10 mystify the matter by
speaking of the amount Of gold on deposit
in the national treasury; the real point lie
that the people receive readily gold from
the government, but are SO averse to the
silver dollars that a congressional commit.
Tee has adopted resolution TO make tht
payment of dollars by the treasury compul'
sorry. The very coin the people were repre-
scented as longing for ir, if this silver com
mittee can prevail, to be thrust upon them

In the Egyptian and Assyrian gallery at
The British Museum, and in close contiguity
10 the EIttite instruments and the bronze
gates of Shalmenesef, there has Just been
placed an object of considerable interest-a
bronzs doorstep from the great temple OF
F.Ssggil, at Bsreipps, su5urb or division
of Babylon. The doorstep BOT oaly has in
scribed on it the name of Nebuchadnezzar,
but also mentions his health or restoration
TO health. The doorstep may thus have been
a votive offering. The thought may suggest
itself whether the inscription on the door
step has any relation TO the madness OF
Nebuchadnezzar spoken Of in the well-known
words of the fourth chapter Of Daniel, which
record how the renowned monarch, after
looking with pride on the great Babylon
which he had built, was in the Same hour
driven from among men, and did eat grass
as oxen, and his body WIS wet with the dew
of heaven, till his hairs were grown like
eagles feathers and his nails lie birds
claws" 1t would not, however, be easy &c

E Saggil, to which the doorstep pertsined
was famous seat of Babylonian idolairy

A COMPROMISE HOPED FOR.
The Red Ghost OF the TuiIeries.

The Paris correspondent Of London Truth
writes that what fire left OF the Tuileries is
being rapidly pulled down and carried away.
No trace remains of the galleries haunted BY
ale Petit Homme Rouge" who was to the
house OF France what the banshee is to GER
tain old Irish families. His local habitation
is the Pavilion Philibert Delorme, where
Catherine de Medici used to go to escape
from the smells of old Paris and TO hold con-
ferences with professors OF the black art.
The Little Red Man was supposed to show
himself when king was about to die or to
be assassinated. The Legitimists, at their
banquet OF the Jour des Rois, assoeia ted the
dislodgement of LIE Petit Homme Rouge
with the accident of Willie d'Avay and the
consequent death of Gambetta. But why none
OF them said. Is Petit Hemme Rouge was
the last thing in the way of a ghost that
survived the revolution. He was, bow.

was, perhaps, a DOGGY suggested BY him.
The court and polite society used to 60
formerly 10 witness executions at The Place
de la Greve. Children were taken TO these
spectacles. When they heard in the dark,
after they had been sent to bed, of the Little
Red Man, we may be sure they drew the
clothes over their fsces, shut their eyes, held
in their breath and did their best to fall
asleep. The FIRST set Of royal children thai
could have been threatened at the Tuileriet
with the scarlet specter were those of Henri
Quatre. As they were hall Italian, and
naturally superstitious, they would have
accepted the tale of the DOGGY in no critical

twelvemonth Of military duty in regiment
of Hussars at Vienna, when he saved the
life of lady whose horses had run away in
the TaberstTssse. The lady, who was known
in Vienna as Lady Ssyton, felt SO grateful to
him that she obtained his exemption from
further service and induced him to accom-
pany her in her travels. After seme time
Lady Sayton went TO Egypt, aud thence by
way of India, China and Japan to San
Francisco. Upon landing there she was ar
rested, aud it then appeared that her real
name was Lenora Price, and that she
had been in the service OF q Cali
fornia millionaire from whom she had
purloined enough money to make the grand
tour. The Hungarian actor was arrested at
the came time, but be had no difficulty in
proving that he was in no way an accom-
plice. After being set at liberty he obi aimed
employment in San Francisco as q messen-
