In the ST. Louis Cemetery at New Or
leans, the sexton found Mrs. Frank Du-
corne, the wife of prominent druggist
of the city, kneeling before broken
tomb by the side of coffin from which
she had wrenched the lid. She held in
hel arms and was frantically kissing
the corpse of her child who had died of
small pox, and been buried without her
seeing him. She was fercely crazy, and
said she went for lock of her boys hair,
and had pulled the tomb open with her
fngers, which were wounded in the
work.
A late dispatch from England sayss
The Queen has become nnorose again,
AID is living in great retirement at Wind
sor. Her disposition has now taken a
singular turn. She insists upon having
the most extraordinary precautions taken
for her personal safety. Her Majesty
seems to believe that it is as necessary for
her to be excluded from supposed enemies
as for the Gar of Russia, and appears at
times to suppose that her subjects are
restless and discontinued, and should be
barred as far as possible from any APP
proach to her person. Her mental con-
dition is that Of an exceedingly irritable
and gloomy person. For the first time
in her life the Queen refused to attend
the Prince of Wales garden party.

THE Kentucky canvass is bringing out
some unpleasant developments against
the bourbon statesmen of that common
wealth. 1t is shown for instance that III
1866, the sinking fund embraced 50, 4l1,-
1875 in excess Of the state debt, that
50, 25S, III has been paid into the fund
since that time, and that the fund now
amounts t. only $7OS,139, Proctor
Knott, candidate for governor, is trying
to explain where the money has gone,
but his explanations are vague and I'M
satisfying. 1t is apparent that the hnan-
c;al records of the state are in inextrica-
BILE confusion, and that the opportunities
for official stealing have been without
limit.

UNITED States Senator Edmunds visit

describes it as a perfect glacier, excelled
by none in the Alps. He says: 81 have

the assertion may appear, there is.abso-
Iutely no comparison between the finest
effects that are exhibited there and what

1THE Rochester Democrat (Rep.} takes
a hopeful view of Republican prospects

LIFE Rochester Democrat (Rep2 takes
: hopeful view of Republican prospects
, in that State. Itsays:
It is not required in this connection to
, discuss the question as to whether the de-
feat of the Republicans in the State cleo
etions of 1882 was deserved; but it is GER
tain that the decipline of defeat has been
wholesome. Tt has at once curbed the
prgtensions of self-constituted leaders,
has evoked from factional disturbances
fbe benign spirit of Cancellation between
elements hitherto antagonistic to each
other. and has stimulated consideration
for the virtues rather than criticism OF
the mistakes of either. 1t has shown
that the party, as whole, must maintain
the highest standards of political action,
and that it cannot be insensible to the
hest demands of the hour. The decipline
endured has both cemented and purified
the nartv. Hereafter there will be no
cropping among the ashes of past con;
Eroyersies, but there will be bold and
nositiye declarations of principles which
all true Republicans hold, and to which
the intelligent independent voter must
weld his cordial assent.

The following card from Allen w
Thurman, son of ex-senator Allen G.
Thurman, is printed in the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
To the Editor of the Enquirer:
OFFICE OF ALLEN w. THURMAN, No.
l, SOUTH HIGH STREET, COLUMBUS, o.,
June 90, 1SS3.-A correspon lent of the
Cincinnati Journal states in the issue of
the 9th, that I have been in the habit of
scratching Democratic tickets, and that !
did not vote for Governor Allen, but voted
for Governor Hayes. The Journal of
Yesterday, referring editorially to the mat
fer. saws: at is not a bolt from this
ticket (the present one, } but the result of
a chronic habit" If this paper, and
others that are abusing me, had wished to
have known and stated the truth they
could easily obtained it, but as misrepre-
sentation only is intended, l feel COM
pelled, in Justice to myself, to state that
did vote for Governor Allen each time
that he was q candidate, and, further,
that never voted for a Republican in
nv life, and would not do SO this fall if
the Democratic Convention had nomin-
ated a Democrat. As it stands it is SIM
ply choice between a Republican and a
political Gymnast" whose election means
reorganization of the old Democratic
party, (the new Democracy, [ believe
Judge Hoadley calls it, on basis as I'M
steady as the candidate himself. I will
vote for Judge Foraker, not because I
believe in Republican principles, but be-
cause believe that the defeat of Judge
HoadIey will preserve those Of the Dem
ocratic party by putting quietus in fu-
ture on expediency candidates who have
no political principles. The old ship
Democracy can easily stand another
defeat, but she must not be wrecked.
Yet, how can Democrats, if they put in
charge a pilot-Mr. Hoadley-who has
never been able to steer himself political
ly any stra1ghter than to be first Demo
crat Ca long time ago., then an Abolition
list, then Know Nothing, then Radi-
cal, then Liberal, then Grant man,
then for Hayes against Governor Allen,
expect to keep her clear off the rocks.
Yours respectfully
ALLEN w. THURMAN.
