Detective Sharkey was visited this morn
ing by little old man who said: II can't
do it. No use trying to live an honest
life. 1t amt the thing. Give me twenty
five cents to start me in business" The
little old man was Charles Langheimer,
popularity known as Dickens Dutchman"
from the fact that the great novelist in his
american notes" used the case of Lang
heimer to illustrate the horrors
of solitary confinement. Dickens saw
him in 1912. Langheimer had then
been two years in the Eastern
penitentiary, and since then he has been
out the building only for short periods at
time, having been convicted and sent
back time after time. He was last SEN
fenced two years ago, and his time was up
on Monday. He wanted to remain in the
prison, not as prisoner, but to do any
little thing about the jail, have the free
dom of the Jail, to feel that it was home,
to 60 and come as he felt inclined, to
know that he was not a prisoner. This
the authorities refused to permit, so the
old man was compelled to seek quarters
elsewhere. He insisted that it was impos-

planned to Mr.. Sharkey that he would be
willing to do the best he could if he could
raise the means to go into some
business. He said he thought
he could carry basket or peddle
anything if the stock was secured. Since
his release he has been soliciting assist
ance from the attaches of the court, mem
bers of the bar, and the crowds that either
from choice or necessity, make the court
Offices their headquarters. Langheimer
looks uncommonly well. His attire is
much neater than it was when he entered
the prison, and no one to look at him
would imagine that he is now in the eighty
fourth year of his age. He talked some
time with the detective, and the burden of
his talk was thatit was matter of impos-
sibility for him to follow legitimate oc-
cupation or to lead the life of an honest
man. He declined to state where he was
living. The detective expressed the opin
ion that it would not be many days before
he came before the courts for sentence to
the place where SO many of his years have
been spent.

oud time by means OF stolen money, with
full knowledge, that it was stolen, it is
quite becoming to denounce as infamous"
the narrative that uncovers mass Of in
controvertible truth.
The narrative given in the columns of
the GLOBE is most damaging to the public
men involved, or would be damaging if
the characters of men had anything left
after the expose of the Credit Mobilier,
DeGolyer and kindred scandals. The
| connected form in which this pregnant
budget of history is presented makes it
at once an interesting and valuable con-
tribution to the political annals of the
| times.
| The salient points of the testimony is, in
brief, that the Republican candidate for
president in order to secure the money
and individual assistance needed to COM
pass the success of the Republican party
took upon himself dishonorable and corrupt
obligations, part of which he repudiated,
a part of which he was unable to perform
and part of which ne fulfilled. Associ-
ated with the candidate in this dishonora-
BILE bargain were members of Congress
prominent party leaders including the
Secretary of the Republican National
Committee, and Mr.. Jay Gould,
It is unnecessary to follow the narrative
in its detail. Some, even many of the
facts stated were public property before
this compact array of frozen truth wa;
massed together, and the matter that i
fresh will stand whatever tes
may be applied. Such revelations ought t.
startle the country. 1t is a history @
rottenness that is sufficient warrant 70
the battle cry, "Turn the rascals OUT
The truth is boldly stated that in Republi
can hands elections are monstrous farce
= legislation a mere matter of corrup
bargain, and justice CHASTITY mockery.
In answer to this unpleasant portraya
( of corrupt spoilation and venal schem-
t ing it is of no account to sa
that it is Dorsey's story. So grave mat
ter cannot be so summarily dismissed, an
! fortunately or otherwise the narrative
:, not dependant upon the unsupported stat;
ment of the late secretary of the Republica
National Committee. There are hundred
: of men, who, if they choose to speak truth
>, fully, would add volumes to the recital o
J: corruption and duplicity by which the eleC
IT ton of 1880 was carried. It will requil
t more than denunciative epithets to cor
a vince the public that all that is told, or al
'S | part thereof is untrue.

SHERMH IND ARTHUR.

Il. j. Ramsdall, the Washington correspon-
dent, predicts that John Sherman will cut
a considerable figure as a candidate for the
Republican Presidential nomination next
year. Ramsdall says Sherman is the boss
of Ohio, and will hold the southern votes
he had at Chicago in 1880. Ramsdall has
this to say for Honest John;''
The money interest is unquestionably for
Sherman, for he is wise and sagacious. Person.
ally, am not for Sherman, but l can't deny
or conceal his strength. And when you are
considering Presidential candidates, don't for
get Arthur. Stick pin here, and remember
what [ say: Sherman, Arthur, or a big dark
horse that nobody eyer heard of. 1t will not
cost you anything to cut this out and look at it
year from nOw.'
The clever correspondent wants ''two
strings to his bow" so he puts in a good
word for Arthur, and when you are playing
prophet it is good idea to have two of 'em
Here's to Arthur, by H. J. R.,
Speaking of Arthur, do you know that his
quiet, undemonstratlve, unostentatlous and de
| liberate ways have won the hearts of the people
| 1t is a fact. He has never done anything fol
show, he has never done anything to win tenn
porary popularity. He has gone along so quiet
| ly, refraining from doing rather than doing {;
wonderfully wise thing in itself, that he ha
never made mistake. Whatever may be sai(
| of Arthur, he has administered his great offic
with less selfshness than any of his predecessor
within my memory. And he has a big hold L
the hearts of the people. The politicians ma
laugh as they please, but this is true"
These are both irst-class ''pufs," an
the sapient prophet is entirely safe in hi
prediction. Nobody will dispute but tha
the Republicans will nominate Sherma
or Arthur or some other man. Its goa;

AMONG his other reformatory measures
Mayor O'Brien might do public service
by prohibiting such exhibitions as took
place at Market hall last evening. The
GLOBE has no sympathy for the people
who paid their money in expectation of
seeing slugging match between two man
who never won fight-except on paper
and were bady sold by witnessing a hip
podroming specimen of boys play, but it
is decidedly of the opinion that public

home uses acquire sweetness not their

down en- famille with strangers, to hear
the masculine and the feminine heads of
the table ''father" and mother" each
other. The high chairs and the little
plates associated with the origin of those
appelIations may be long gone from the
sides thereof, but the memory of the faxen
curls that used to wave over them is still
there embalmed in the amber of those low
ing designations; the more if ''father" and
mother are now themselves grown white
haired and venerable.

The illness of the actor John McCul-
Tough, is attributed by the Cincinnati
Commercial to his spending his vacation
last year, on horseback, with General Sher-
idan. The Lieutenant General is famous
for Sheridan's ride, and the gentlemen
who ride with Sheridan will need muscle
and pluck. President Arthur seems to
have no misgivings, but the malaria or
something may overtake him after he has
ridden Sheridan's $50 horses. If Arthur
turns out to be as tough as "Little Phill'
he will disappoint some people.

Hitting the T'Other Leg.

A great number of horses are in the
habit of brushing one leg against the
t'other, and deal of ingenuity has
been at different times exercised in
search of remedy for this often very
troublesome practice. Both the fore
legs and the hind legs are subject to it.
the latter, perhaps, most frequently;
but in them it is confined to the fetlock
joint; whereas, in the fore legs, the
horse may hit either the fetlock, the leg
just above the pasterns, or just under
the knee, where it is called speedy
cut, from its occurring chiefly during
the fast action 1t is desirable, before
applying n remedy, to ascertain, if pos
sible, the cause, and the part which
strikes, whether the shoe or the foot,
and, if the latter, what part of it.
Many horses interfere from weakness,
and cease to do so when they gain
strength and condition. This is more
particularly observable with fast horses.
Others do so from faulty conformation
of the limbs, which are sometimes too
close to each other; and sometimes the
toe is turned too much out, or too much
in. When the toe is turned in the horse
usually strikes under the knee. The
objects to be kept in view in shoeing
such horses must be TO remedy, as much
as we can, the faulty action, and to re-
move, if possible, the part which strikes.
The part of the foot which strikes is
between the toe and the inside quarter;
sometimes the inside quarter itself, but
very rarely the heels of the shoe. II the
horse turns his toe in it is very probable
that he wears the inside of the shoe
most; and If so, it should be made
much thicker than the outside; II the
contrary, the outside heel should be
thicker than the inside. The shoe
should be levoled off on the inside
quarter. which should also he free from
nails. In the hind legs we often find
that a three-quarter-sho will prevent
striking when other plans fail; for here
the part which hits is not situated so far
forward as in the fore legs, so that the
removal of the iron altogether from the
inside quarter will soon accomplish our
aim. II sometimes happens that every
plan we can adopt will not prevent in
terfering. and the only recourse is boots
or straps buckled on the part OF tho
limb that is struck.-Prairie Farmer,
