Lost on the Prairie.

Mr.. FL. ID. Burghardt, manager of the
Clendenin Mining & Smelling company,
had quite a thrilling experience on the
prairie, near 2S-Mile springs, last Sun
day. On the morning of that day he
left Benton on horseback, for the
Springs, and when within five or six
miles Of the same, lost the road and for
some time wandered about on the prairie
without any knowledge whatever Of lis
bearings. In his wanderings, luckily,
he came upon a telegraph pole and found
the road again. BY this time his horse
was entirely played out, and he tied the
jaded animal to the pole and started out
on foot, moving cautiously from pole
to another, as he supposed towards the
Springs, which he knew could not be far
off. But he was turned around" and
instead Of going towards the Springs was
headed in the direction of Benton. At
ter walking five or six miles, with great
difficulty, he arrived at a freighter's
camp where he was kindly received and
where he shared the meagre comforts Of
the camp until the Helena coach came.
along the next day, having meantime
gone back and secured his horse. It was

any more experience OF this kind very
soon, and the RIVER PRESS, in common
with his many friends, is glad that he
got through SO luckily.

The Presbyterlans.

The great religious conventions have
kept themselves foremost in popular in
terest during the last two weeks. OF
these the Presbyterian general assemblies
were tho most important though not the
largest. Archbishop Hughes, who was
we'll qualified to judge Of church politics,
once said of this body in the North that
although it was his privilege to call it q
usurpatiOn, he must acknowledge it to be
without equal as controlling organization
among the denominations of the country
for the purposes of popular government.
Over three millions of the followers of
Calvin were represented in the congresses
of last week. 1t is exactly 200 years ago
since the Scotch Irishman, Francis Ma
kerme, founded the first American Presby-
terian church on SnOwhill in Maryland.
Since then his race have always largely
controlled tho denomination. The Pres
byterians preponderate in this state and
through the great agricultural district
beginning 1T Lake Erie in Pennsylvania
and running down through Ohio to the
Blue Grass region of Kentucky, and they
are almost without exception of Scotch or
Scotch-Irish descent, shrewd, thrifty,
honest and virtuous, men whose opinions
and affections are apt to run in one rut,
with an obstinacy which makes them
devoted husbands and bigoted sectarians.
1t is probably owing quite as much to
their race as to any teachings of their
church that tho progress of healing the
wounds between the two great branches
Of this sect is SO slow.

Tho Horse Thief Still Free

west chester village Record.
The horse thief that escaped from the
Lancaster officer by jumping through the
car window on Thursday. is still at large.
Officer Young, Of West Chester, secured
the neighborhood for several miles sur
rounding the place where the thief had
jumped from the cars, but failed to find
him, although he heard of him at
several places. Tho thief was sharp
enough to "double on his tracks, sew
eral times and thus mislead those in
search of him. He had stopped at Emmor
r. Green's, where he told pitiful story
of how poor he was, and how he got so
badly hurt by falling offa train of cars
while attempting to get a ride on his
journey. A daughter of Mr.. Green finally
gave him hat, the scamp having lost his
in jumping from the car. The hat had
Mr.. Green's name in it. The last trace OF
the fugitive Officer Young found was at
the Three Tuns," which is about a mile
from Frazer the fellow had been keep
ing in the woods as much as he could,
stopping at but few places, and that to
inquire the way to railroad stations. The
fellow is quite boyish looking, not more
than 10 years old, and small for his age.
The hat that Miss Green gave him is a
light colored slouch, and he had on
rather lightish grey colored coat. The
general impression is that he succeeded in
boarding freight train and by that means
got away from the neighborhood.

found that the deceased had {: wife and
four children residing there. Tho wife
was too poor to bury the. body, but she
went to Bainbridge on the first train.
Upon her arrival jury was sworn and an

cidental death. The remains were then
placed in coffin and inferred in River
View cemetery, Bainbridge.
The deceased was 90 years of age, and
had not lived with his wife for some time.
He was intoxicated in cambridge on Sat

The sold Ticket"

An interview with Thomas A. Hen
bricks is published, which represents
that statesman as under the impression
that there is a strong feeling in the coun-
try in favor of a denomination by the
Democracy of the old ticket of Tilden
and Hendricks. Mr.. Hendricks is made
to express very high admiration for Mr..
Tilden and to convey the idea that he
would be quite ready to be again asso-
ciated with him on the ticket. At the
last presidential convention Mr.. Hen
bricks felt differently but be ex-
plains that he did not then appreciate
the strength Of the popular demand for
"the old ticket" If he did not then
think it strong, it is surprising that he
should now find it overwhelming,
as Democratic sentiment in this
direction does not, to the general
vision, seem now SO pronounced as then.
If this reputed interview conveys true
expression of Mr.. Hendricks feeling it
shows that one at least of the g old
ticket p" is willing to run again and
Mr.. Tilden's patriotism probably will be
sufficient to cause him to mount to the
sacrifice with equal amiability. If
the Democracy want the ''old ticket"
of Tilden and Hendricks it is
at their command. Mr.. TiIden
is proclaimed to be in vigorous
health and Mr.. Hendricks big toe is all
right again. In fact, it seems to be in
excellent kicking order Mr.. Mcdonald
having been spoken of for the presidency,
Mr.. Hendricks proceeds to floor him
with the old ticket. 1t is an excellent
weapon for that purpose, whether or no
the" old ticket is prayed for and craved
for by the Democratic masses with the
fervor which Mr.. Hendricks seems to
zee. An Indiana boom for Tilden and

HENDRlCks FOR TaE OLD TICKET.


Praise for Tllden and . Bid for the Demo-
cratic Nomination.
The New York Times prints a special
dispatch from Ind ianopolis, containing an
interview with Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks
who has just returned home from the
East. To the suggestion that the coun-
try would regard the nomination of the
old ticket of Tilden and Hendricks as
equivalent to Democratic victory, Mr..
hendricks said -H.. .. O. ..- s'
"There is no doubt some truth in that
Mr.. Tilden is ono Of the most remarkable
citizens of the republic. Everything that
he does is complete. A work to satisfy
him must be finished. His letter of &C.
ceptance was treatise of q perfect MASTER
Of the whole system of political economy.
His letter to the last Cincinnati conven-
tiOn, every enemy admits, was one
of the most ingenious documents
that ever emanated from man, while
his trends feel that it was strong, candid
statement from the highest possible plane
of patriotism. 1t is wonderful. He has
lived down every calumny. Every slander
awakened by the prosecutions of that
fellow Bliss and dismissed as soon as they
ceased to be of any political benefit, would
add to his strength at this time. Tho
whole country has watched him closely
since he was defrauded of the presidency,
and there has been everything in his life
to inspire respect. He is indeed grand
man.
"There seems to be strong sentiment
in favor of the old ticket. Foar years
ago I did not realize the full force of the
demand, and really felt that had been
in the position of vice president long
enough. did not feel the absolute
necessity of taking the second place. 1t
was for that reason that I declined-not
from any hostility to Mr.. Tilden. On the
contrary, there was no man in the govern.
ment whose virtue held in higher esteem.
When duty is required of us, however
distasteful, it must be performed. l do
not doubt that if the old ticket were
renOminated it would be elected"
