but when the news of the audacious piracy reached him
he forthwith introduced Dora, and made her David's

A FRENCH painter who won renown in the last
Salon for a picture of lions crucifed by the Cartha-
genians, has confessed that his studies were made on
cats. The hint for this was got from an old man who
lives by a horrible trade, that Of extracting pepsine
from the stomachs Of cats and dogs. It appears that
he was in the habit of c~rucifying them alive and
noticed the strong likeness that cats bear to the lion
when undergoing torture. Branches Of the s. P @.

GENERAL LoaAN,s ACCEPTANCE.

The letter of General Logan is a clear and
manly document THERE'S no effort at display,
none at concealment. He expresses his opin-
ions openly, frankly and with the directness
that marks the soldier-statesman that he is.
He gives pointedly the reasons for the faith
there is in him upon the various sections of
the platform, and evinces a knowledge Of
statecraft that j~ustiies his nomination. How
marked are his distinct expressions upon the
tariff as compared with the difusive, evasive
and obscuring words of the Democratic plat
form; his the fbluntness of a soldier" en-
listed in a cause that commands his conscience
and his patriotism, and the platform the wari-
ness of the tricksters to hoodwink and deceive.
He is as certain that he is for the protection
of American laborers and American manufac-
lures as he is that his name is Logan, and he
has the courage to say so, while the Demo-
cratic platform is built as a trap in which to
catch the Pennsylvania protectionist and the
Kentucky free-trader.
Upon all other questions General Logan is
equally clear and distinct. He has his opin-
ions, and he knows what they are. They are
not susceptible Of one Interpretation in one
place and the contrary at another, His in
dorsement Of the platform adopted at the Re
publican national convention is full and with
out e~quivocation. The letter is one worthy
Of the party and its candidates.

taking in practical politics. The mechanics
Of New York city, notably the bricklayers,

same kind he saw in Egypt and India, Let
this all be conceded without debate. What

IT is announced that Judge Taylor will, this
morning, appoint a successor to j. {. S. Harri-
son in the Indiana Banking Company receiver
ship, and that the amount of the bond to be
given is fixed at $50, 900. There are over $780,
600 of claims against thatbank, and there is good
reason to believe that its assets amount to some
thing near 100000. One or two of the individ-
nal partners were supposed to have large means
up to the time of the failure, and nearly all Of
the partners are largely indebted to the firm.
The receivers accounts will necessarily be OPEN
to investigation, which should be just TO him
and to the depositors in the bank. The court
will hesitate to appoint any one who was IN the
employ of the bank before its failure or in the
employ of the receiver since that date. And the
depositors will hardly remain quiet if such be
done; their money is being administered upon and
their rights should have, at least, a fair count,
All Of these matters ought to be fresh subjects of
inquiry, and it is hard to see how justice can be
done to the subject by anyone in interest with
the present receiver, and still less by anyone con
nected with the management Of. the bank. It
will strike the public very forcibly that the peo-
pie who stood in front Of the counter ought to be
regarded in this appointment more than those
VINO stoou Denlnu IL ana hau q nahd ID the man
agement. The appointments made in this case
hitherto have proved unsatisfactory. There are
scores of capable gentlemenin this city who would
accept the place, none of whom have or had any
connection with the bank or with any of the
questions arising out of its failure; and the APP
pointment of anyone who had.any such connec-
ton with the bank prior to it's failure would not
only be unsatisfactory to the creditors, but I'M
just and unfair to them. There ought to be a
new deck and a fresh cut before the game is
played any further.

Young Mr.. Stevens, of Cleveland, is etall
broker up Mr.. Stevens a few brief days ago
held a good situation in a-business house, was
organist for a Methodist church, and was engaged
to marry a beautiful belle whose pa was wealthy.
He was regarded by the community as a nice,
moral young man, who deserved all his good luck
and none of his friends knew aught to the con-
trary. Among these friends, however, was one
addicted to practical jokes. Meeting Mr.. Stevens
the other day, the joker told him that a certain
sensational afternoon paper vas about to write
him up. The supposed-to-be-moral young man
thereupon rushed to the telephone, called up the
newspaper Office, and tried to explain the cir
cumstances, which were, he thought, embodied
in the sensation. The wicked newspaper men
had never heard Of Mr.. Stevens before, but
they took the explanation all in.
The telephone communication more than
limited at a scandalous affair in
Mr.. Stevenss past history, and in the dreadful
language sometimes used by abandoned report
ers, gave him dead away These reporters
Immediately proceeded to write Mr.. Stevens up,
using the information he had so kindly given
them, supplemented by more, which they were
enabled to reach from hints he had thrown out.
The afternoon paper contained the sensation,
and the result is that Mr.. Stevens has lost three
situations, one in the business house, one in the
church, and the other as prospective son-in-law
in the house Of the wealthy Cleveland citizen.
What has become of the joker is not known.

moneys for tho payment Of the emphycs were
Deposited. On leaving the room he did, 10
without waiting the return Of other attaches Of

rctun the safe was robbed Of all it's contents
except some packages of nickels and some
small change, the total amount dis
mated, being $4,000 On the facts
becoming known an investigation was had, aud
Paymaster Bartlett was discharged from the
service of tho company for negligence, and the
affair was placed in tile hands Of tho detectives.
Anefort was nado to keep the matter secret in
the hopes that the detectives would thereby be
facilitated in their work, but tho affair becom-

statements would bo published concerning the
robbery, the officials showed willingness that
the exact facts be furnished the public. The
theory advanced by tho treasurer Of the COM

Frank 1ands, the 1srpstrstor Of 10 Dessu
Prison.
Joliet, Ill, Special; Frank Rande hanged
himself to his cell door OH tho night of the 7th
inst by means of his undcrshirt and suspen-
ders he made rope and fastened them to the
bars of thedoor. He then placed his coat and
vest over tho iron work Of the door to shield
his body from the chilly touch Of tho iron and
at tho bottom Of the door he placed his
cell bucket bottom upward under
which lay his pants to deaden
the sounds of his struggles when dying When
tho keeper opened the door in the morning the
body had q very natural appearance except the
face, which was rapidly turning black. Yester-
day afternoon Warden McC Cloushrey paid a visit
to the cell Of Rande and conversed with the
informed that Duputy Mcdonald was in fair
way Of recovering, and was under tho impress
sion that his cruel blow had killed him. Handle
seemed glad to sec him, and greeted him with:
Hello. Major! You are just the man / want
to see ! want you to send to Peoria for Frank
Hitchcock, formerly tho sheriff, and to Gales
burg for State Attorney Tanniclih, and when
you three men arc here in this cell before me,
will tell you something wonderful"
The warden did not reply to him, but as he
was passing out Of the cell Ilande called him
back and begged him to take him out and hang
him. II cannot do that, Rande: but never fear,
The warden then left him. At 6 o'clock last
evening the guard opened his cell and
passed in Ranlc's supper ration.
At that hour the bandit was pacing up and
down the cell, talking wildly to himself. The
supper was placed inside the door and the cell
locked and not opened again until after clock
this morning, when it was discovered that the
brilliant bandit of the Wabash" had committed
at least one decent deed during his career, in
ending his lifc without troubling the officers Of
the law. Frank Rande's real name was Charles
G. Scott. He was bora, in Pennsylvania in 1888,
his father being Malachi Scott, now living at
Fairfield, Iowa, where he settled thirty years
ago His wild career Of crime is fresh in the
reccollection of the public.
