KOSSUTHS STORY OF A JEWESS.
Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, in
recent letter congratulating the Deputy
Eotvos upon having obtained the acquittal
Of one Of the Jews accused of the muir
der Of Tisza- Eszlar, relates q very curl
Gus anecdote, showing that prosecution
Of q similar kind was more successful
half century ago. He says that in
1880 the priest Of q village in the county
Of Neutra fell in love with Jewess who
was noted for her beauty. but who would
not listen to his proposals. A short time
after this young Christian named Julia
Berecs, who was very intimate friend
Of the Jewess, disappeared; and the
priest sent for the latter and asked her
what had become Of her friend. The
Jewess, Of course, said that she knew
nothing about her; but the priest de-
clared that her dead body was lying
near certain bridge, and that she had
killed Julia Berecs in order to wash her
self with Christian blood and become
more beautiful. The Jewess, strong as
were her protests of innocence, was cast
into prison, tried and condemned to death
the capital sentence being, however.
committed to penal servitude for life in
consideration Of her youth. After she
had been in prison two years the governor
sent for her and told she was free, as the
priest, overcome by rsmorse, had CON-
mitted suicide, leaving written confess
sion that he had himself murdered the
Christian girl, and thrown the guilt on
the Jewess, in order to avense himself
upon the latter for rejecting his advances.
kossuth adds that he had the story from
The lips Of the Jewess herself.

THE OLD TICKET.
Will Mr.. Tilden Retaliate on Hendricks by
Declining to Run?
New York World.

New York World.
Governor Hendricks of Indiana, is under
stood to be in favor of the denomination of
the old Presidential ticket of 1876, pure and
simple. That is to say, Governor Hendricks
is now ready and willing to take the second
place on the next Democratic Presidential
ticket with Mr.. Tilden at its head. In 1876
Governor Hendricks was a candidate for the
Presidency, stoutly backed by the Tammany
Democracy He refused to accept the Vice
Presidential nomination, yielding only re-
luctant consent at the last moment. In 1880
Governor Hendrckss stubborn refusal to
again become the nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent mainly prevented the nomination of
the old ticket which was then in order.
What Governor Hendricks first declined
and then unwillingly accepted eight years
ago-what he doggedly refused four years
ago-he is now well satisfied to take. Per-
haps the change in Governor Hendricks's po-
sition is a provident one. 1t is not at all i'm
probable that the vice presidency in 1884
would be at least as likely as an uncertain
convention to lead to the fulfllment of Gov
ernor Hendricks original dream of ambi-
ton. Indeed, some persons believe that Mr..
john Kelly's patriotic sanction of the nomi-
nation of the old ticket, if the Democratic
national convention should decide on its eX-
pediency, is prompted by his original and
earnest desire in 1876 to place Governor
Hendricks in the presidency. 1t would, in
deed, be the irony of fate if Mr.. Tilden
should now destroy the denomination pro-
gramme in 1884 by refusing 10 go on the
ticket with Governor Hendricks, as the lat
ter destroyed denomination in 1880 by re-
fusing to go on the ticket with Mr., Tilden.

per of the people, and formed a grossly ex-

in the canvass. He added further that if
100000 was contributed, the money must be
put in the hands of somebody besides Mr..
English, whom he did not think knew how
to place money for election purposes.
'Mr. Barnum listened attentively, and
when Stealey had finished his reply to
English he said with an air of decision:
"'We can settle this matter very quickly.
Mr.. English, you have promised to contribute

Barnum turned as he put his hand on the
door knob, and, looking Mr. English straight
in the eyes, said:

was the reply. Mrs Garfield is close
reader OF the newspapers, and has been for
many years. but she is never in the least dis
turbed by attacks on the General. She re-

quered.
Eyes; Mrs Garfield has a womans tena-
cious hold on hope. She never could have
kept up during that long summer of trial,
except for her faith in the Presidents ulti-
mate recovery. l have heard Mrs. Garfield
say that she never admitted a possibility of
the Presidents dying, except once, and then
only for a night. After she went to Long
Branch, Mrs. Garfeld's hope revived, until
within the last few days, when the terrible
rigors came. Not until then did her heart
fail her. She prepared herself thenceforward
for the worst"
''Do you know what the Presidents own
views of his case wereP'
Mrs. Garfield thinks the President all
along had very much better idea of his case
than most of those about him. He decided
from the first that there was one chance of
recovery He determined to take that
chance and any surgeon who knows how
much depends upon the patient knows how
much General Garfield did toward winning
that prolonged and terrible struggle against
a gunshot wound and five surgeons"
did Mrs. Garfield remain long in Saratoga

Not great while. She seemed to enjoy
it here very much, however, having her
family about her, as she did; but Mrs Gar

Further Light About Democratic Campaign
Funds in 1880.
National Republican.

National Republican.
The presence in the city of Hon. William
H. English has started the tongues of politi-
clans of both parties to wagging, and the air
is full of "reminiscences of 1880. A Democrat
of prominence III Indiana politics, who was
in the city about three weeks ago, told about
ali occurrence that has been frequently al
luded to in campaign literature, but always
in a vague, uncertain or guarded and unsat-
isfactory fashion. He pictured the scene as
follows:
Senator Barnum, Mr.. English, and two or
three members of the paign committee
were sitting around table in the council
chamber. They were talking business. That
is what Mr.. Barnum came on from New Y ork
for 1t was three or four weeks before the
October election, l think, though possibly
not more than two weeks. There was free
expression of opinion.
"What do you think about it. Stealey?
the chairman of the national committee
asked, addressing a member from southern
Indiana.
IL think the State will be lost to us I'M
less we have 500, 900 in cash to put out at
once. The tide has set in against u.s. and
nothing but money will turn it,
You hear what Mr.. Stealey says re-
marked Barnum, turning to the vice-presi-
dental candidate.

torted English; he does not know what he is
talking about. l know the Democrats will
carry the State and you might just as we'll
burn up 500, 900 or throw 1T into the street
as to spend it in the campaign. The result
will not be changed

disclaiming any desire to get into contro-
versy with Mr. English, Nr questioning the
honesty of his belief, he insisted that the

KEEP WITHIN THE LAW.

Violence and unlawful intimidation are
certain to defeat themselves. That commu-
nifty which resorts to either Of these before
exhaust the resources of the law harms
itself more than the person or persons
against whom such force is exerted. The
people of Schuyler county ILL.,, or some of
them, have disgraced themselves by blowing
up church that had become obnoxious to
the public Briefly, it appears that one
Caleb Anderson Obenchain, an eccentric
evangelist has seeded from, or rather was
expelled from the Methodist Church, of which
he was formerly member and minister.
He afterward secured a following, and their
chief tenet seems to he extreme holiness, or
perfect exemption from sin. In the con-
duct of their meetings they have been very
noisy which has brought down on them the
ill-will of others who did not believe in such
"orgies, as they were termed by outsiders.
1t was also charged that the new sect was
guilty of practicing free-ove, but of this
there has been no proof adduced beyond
unfounded charges. The fact that Oben-
chain had parted from mis- wife gave slight
color to the free-love charge but no tangible
evidence has been given the public that any
such thing existed among the fanatical fol-
lowers of the erratic evangelist. 1t is quite
the cause of magining greater excuses than
in reality exist 1t is evident enough to out
siders that the people of Schuyler
county have done themselves inf
nitely more harm by their intolerance
than they would have suffered through the
supplemented religious exercises of the fol-
lowers of Obenchain. 1t is morally certain
that they will look upon this as an unwar-
ranted persecution which must be endured
for the sake of the cause, and the result will
be that they will secure their allegiance and
increase their devotion. The perpetrators of
this outrage-for it is nothing less-have
stultified themselves. Their resort to extra
legal measures is proof that they had no case
that would hold in court. 1t is an unqualified
admission that the charge of adultery, forni-
cation and free love had no foundation in
fact and ''the cause" is sure to be Strength
ened. The people at large have no sympa-
thy for anybody who seeks to rid a COM
munity of any Objectionable man or or
ganizaton or institution by resorting to I'M
lawful means. 1t doesn't pay. The spirit
that impels man to blow up saloon or a
church is as fanatcal and dangerous
as any saloon or church can
be. No law-abiding man will be
guilty of such an unwarranted act, and no
law-abiding community will suffer such an
act to go unrebuked. The blowing up of
house or the wylaying of any person never
did and never will result in unmixed good.
1t does not reform any one against whom it
is directed, but encourages defiance of law
and order If Obenchains followers are
guilty ofimmorality there are legal methods
of Furnishing them. If they are not gritty,
they will not be driven out by unlawful vi
olence.
