SENATOR SHERMAN, of Ohio, in an
interview last week at Washington said
in reference to the recent outrages in the
South:
Regarding the late sutrages in the
South one of the evil eff cts of the hope
it gave to this Democracy in allowing
them to carry Ohio is that the Southern
rebels have at once reopened their policy
of harbarism in those states. The murder
of Mathews in Mississippi by the Chair
man of the Democratic County Commit
tee and others of the Bourbons in pre-
meditated action, and the resolutions
passed since the elections by them, to
gether with the murders at Danville, and
the adoption in Virginia of the plan of
terror which gave the Democrats South
Carolina and most of the cotton states,
shows well what the result Of a National
Democratic success will be It is so
plain that he who runs may read; we will
have to fight the old battle over again.

q. B. C4SWELL FOR CONGRESS,

The time is fast approaching for the
nomination of candidates for Congress in
the several districts of the state. So far
as the First Congressional District is con-
cerned there can be no mistake made by
the Republicans in nominating Hon. l..
B. Caswell. We make this announce
ment, however, without any positive
knowledge that Mr.. Caswell is willing to
consider himself a candidate. The Re
publicans to be absolutely certain of the
district next year must make no mistake,
and to this end in our opinion the selec-
ton of Mr.. Caswell is most DESTROYS and
would leave no doubt as to the result.
His long and faithful service in Con-
gress fits him to be able to represent the
constituency of the First with credit and
ability and the interests of the district it
is well understood would be safe in his
hands.

One of the singular coniunctions which
the whirlgig of time brings about will be
found in The Manhattan for December.
Everyone knows that the poet Stedman
first came into notice by his poem "The
Diamond v edding" Equally we'll
known are the incidents which gave rise
to the poem. Miss Frederick Bartlett, of
New York, young. beautiful and accom-
plished, in October, 1859, married Senior
Oviedo, Cuban of great wealth. The
jewels he gave her were exhibited at Tiff
fany's, whittier numbers of people went
to see them, and the marriage was the
talk of the town. On the day of the
wedding-which took place at the old St.
Patrick's Cathedral, surrounded by gap
ing embellishments poem appeared in
the New York Tribune. The bride, as
was natural, felt not little resentment
at being made the subject of this sharp
satire. But this resentment she long
since got over, and she and her satirist
are very good friends. Senior Oviedo
lived after his marriage some ten years,
and for nine years after his death his
widow was engaged in legal battle for
her property. Thus she resided in Cuba
more than nineteen years. Last year, in
New York, she married--a love match
Col. Won Gluner, a German gentleman
who holds an official position in Mexico.
Thither they proceeded Immediately after
being married, and for the last nine
months she has resided in or near the
City of Mexico. Under the title "Knick
erbocker Eyes in Mexico" she will relate
in the December Manhattan some Incl
dents of her stay in that country; while,
in the same number, Mr.. Stedman will

ADMIRAL DAVID d. PORTER, in his an
nual report, states that the new steel
cruisers will not work under sail. He
recommends the building of two of the
heaviest iron,clads for the lakes, with
powerful guns and great speed, SO that,
in case of hosilities, the entrance docks
at the mouth of the Welland Canal could
be demolished, and the canal rendered
useless for warlike purposes. One ship,
he thinks, should be stationed near But
falo and the other be kept in the stocks
on Lake Ontario.

"What makes summer butter of a
more yellow color than that made in
winter" asks correspondent.
1t is not an easy thing to answer this
question. But we call attention to a
few facts in the possession of all, which
have, we think, a bearing on the matter.
1st. The feed In summer is essentially
green feed. End. 1t has been noticed
by those who have given The matter at
tentiOn, that cows feed on rowen or the
second crop of a meadow, produce but
ter of much higher color than when
fed on ordinary hay. The rowen is
simply cured grass, similar to that which
they crop in summer. The inference
from this is that the greener the condition
of the feed the higher will be the color
of the butter. Here is an argument III
favor OF cutting two, and even three
crops of hay from the same acreage, in
stead of one crop over ripened, as it usu-
ally is. Some of the most successful but
ter makers in Wisconsin, among whom
We would mention Hon. Hiram Smith
of Sheboygan Falls, follow the practice
of cutting their meadows twice. Mr..
Smith states that he thereby secures a
much larger yield of hay, and of a quail.
tY vastly superior in butter and flesh
making qualities, to that of a single
cutting.-F'ort Atkinson Onion

Cretonne, popular at all seasons, because
of its prettineSs and cheapness, is doubly so
in summer, and is favorite material for up
holstering chairs and lounges for country
seats. Bed-cham bers and sitting-rooms are
charmingly furnished in cretonne; the furn-
ture upholstered Herewith, cretoune lambre-
quins over lace curtains and portieres, and
the mantel trimmed to match. Dressing
tables in the French stvle are draped with
cretonne, a dainty .Ootstool and easy chair
to match accompanying the table. The new
cretonnes are mostly III flower patterns we'll
covering the ground; stripes and detached
figures are somewhat passe, although still
bought by many people. A pretty summer
bed room has a stained floor, showing a wide
center of the room. A mat is in front of
both doors, another at the washstand,
and yet another in front of the
dressing-case. Cretonne with a French gray
ground, almost covered with blue and pink
blossoms and green leaves, is used to cover
the chairs and drape the dressing-table. Lam
brequns to match are at the windows and
mantels, and the small work table is uphol-
stored with the same material. The bed is
all in white. although a recent fancy is to
have the bedspreads of cretonne, matching
the rest of the furniture. Another pretty
room has red and white mating on the floor,

Incidents and Aneedotes.

Cvllated from Cincinnati Papers
The dead Arch bishop was very generous
and kind-hearted man. If anything, it was
a fault with him. He was constantly being
imposed upon, and evil disposed persons fire.
quently took advantage OF his liberaIity.
He never valued money, except to relieve
suffering and distress. Filthy lucre to him
was only the means to attain a good end
not as with many persons, the end itself
Several incidents are related of the Arch
bishops lack of business ability, and his
readiness at all times to assist any one ask
ing for help. A gentleman was with
the aged minister one day when
a delegation of ladies came in
to deposit some money Oh behalf of some
society. The Archbishop asked them how
much it was. thanked them, and after they
went out continued the conversation with
the gentleman. He did not count the money
or make any memorandum of it. Presently a
man called TO get his interest money. "How
much is it?'' inquired the prelate, and when
informed as to the amount counted out the
money from the roll given him by the ladies,
did not ask to see his creditors note, and
went on talking when the man had secured
the amount he asked for.
1t was by such careless Transactions as
these, in which no evidence of indie btedness
was gwen, that the good old Archbishop's
financial ruin was accomplished. He was as
guileless child, and knew no more about
monetary affairs than an infant. Only for
the unbounded confidence and love of his
practitioners he would never have received
SO much money. a large part of which WAS
undoubtedly expended to help the poor of
the diocese.
A young man in this city. and a Protest
ant, bought piece of property from Arch
bishop Purcell, and gave a mortgage to Sc
cure portion of the purchase money. In
few months the gentleman found that he
had made a bad bargain; that tie property
was depreciating in value, and last OF all,
that he would not be able to pay for it, and
he would loose the money invested.
He went to the Archbishop and told him
his situation. Your property has decreased
in value, eh?' said the preate, and you
cannot pay for it, and don't want to lose
your money? Well, you give me the deed
and | will give you back your money" and
the Archbishop saved the young man from
financial distress
Often did he relate to his priests, among
others including the writer of these lines
how in the days of political excitement he
once took boat trip along the Ohio, on a
regular invitation and confirmation visit of
the river parishes, and on board the boat
met some OF the prominent politicians of the
day. Dressed as he was in plain citizens
clothes, he engaged in conversation with
them. and when they were each Boosting of
their political influence, Archbishop Purcell
suddenly said: gentleman / command
more influence than any one of you. l hold
in pocket, here, co. 900 votes of the State of
Ohio" 1t is needless to state they SOON be-
came acquainted with the position and in
huence of the man.
