Let Blaine Retire.

1t does seem as though the present
would bean excellent time for Mr.. Blaine
to retire from the presidential canvass.
The missing links in the chain of corrup.
tion that has long encircled him have
now been found, and the startling record
OF crime that the new Mulligan letters
contain Is known of all men. With the
effrontery of gambling shark detected
in villainy, he attempts to cloud the view
OF the terrible evidence by bluster. But
it is too late. The Blaine tactics are
now SO well understood that they can no
longer deceive. Then, too, the Republican
majority in Maine is coming down every
day, and the corrupt methods taken TO
swell the Robie vote bring out more
strongly the ofensiveness of the Blaine
methods. 1t Is even charged against the
Republican candidate that while the
nations chief lay at the point of dsath
from the assassin's bullet, Mr.. Blaine
made advances to Arthur looking to the
latter's instalment In the presidential
chair, because of Garfield 3 indisposition.

Ellen Terry ara Her Dog.

Miss Ellen Terry's sojourn in the country
has certainly had the effect of wiping out
all traces of her recent illness. She is
again in London, the perfect picture OF
health. While in Deal, where she and
Mr. Irving spent their vocation, although
occupying separate lodgings. they were
constantly seen together. Twice each day
they took drive and thus publicly con
tradictcd the current rumors that friction
existed which might lead to rupture OF
their theatrical interests. During their
visit tho town Of Deal was enlivsned by
the advent of o strolling company, whose
piece do resistdnce was " Uncle Toms
Cabin" MIR. Irving purchased $50 worth
of tickets and accompanied by Miss Terry,
attended the performance. MIR. Irving
says that his chief amusement while at
Deal consisted in listening to the yagsries
OF a street spouter, who mado it his par
ticular business every morning TO howl, in
the vilest manner, some Shakesperean
quotation Immediately under his window.
On leaving Deal and at the moment OF
stepping into the railway carriage Miss
Terry suddenly discovered that her pet
dog was missing. She at once gave the
alarm and the station master was notified
| of her loss. He instituted search and
gallantly held the train Tor ten minutes
until the pet was found.

The Peaceful MOrOsinf.

Mr.. Morosini did not, after all, shoot
that son-in-law at sight, as the reporters
said that he said he was going TO do.
Upon The contrary he sent an amiable
Dutch woman, who was willing to do
the job for cash, TO fetch his daughter
and her husband from their Troy retreat
to his Yonkers mansion. Aud when the
bride and groom came at five O'clock ia
the morning, a stupid police CAP
tain arrested her for larceny, upon
an old complaint of old Morosni,
before letting her fly to her loving
parents arms which she shortly did d.
ina coach and when she reached tn,
house she went In and the bridegroom
-staid out and she told her parents sh,
would cling to her husband and she cam,
out to him and went away with him
and she called again at the pater
nal mansion, and perhaps again
and all this time her coach.
man-groom was not shot ant
there is no such prospect of his being
shot as there is of his being shortl,
turned into financier by his father-in
law If his coachman blood is not tot
honest for that slippery occupation.
And Mr.. Morosini, who was going tC
Moscow, is not going just yet. Mr.. Nor.
osini knows where his bread is buttered
and SO does Mr.. Morosinl's coachman
son in-law.
Perhaps Mr.. Morosini Is not such a
fool as the newspaper reporters make
him out to be. These dreadful fellows
lie SO unscrupulously, that it is quite
probable that Mr.. Morosini never said
he would shoot his son in-law; aud it 4
even possible that he is very much
delighted with him. You never can tel
what to believe that you read In New
York newspaper.

Simon Hessler, wealthy farmer, living
in Brush Valley, four miles from Mount
Carmel, attended court at bloomsbury
last week, leav ing home on Thursday aud
returning on Saturday night at a late
hour. lie had suspected his wife, of whom
he was very foni, for months past of uu-
taitSfulness, and, seeing light upstairs,
he noiselessly entered the house and orept
up to his bedroom and opened the door.
At the bedside sat young man Damed
Mccoy. Mrs. Hessler was reclining on
the bed. A few words, hard and angry,
passed between them, and then a pistol
shot was heard. Aaron Hersch, q farm
| hand, who sleeps in an adjoining room,
was aroused, and ran into tho passageway
| leading to Hessler's room. The door was
partly open, and through the crack he saw
Mccoy lying upon the floor, blood flowing
from wound in his head, while over him
stood the Infatuated husband, pistol in
hand.
Without waiting TO see more Hersch ran
from tho house and gave the alarm
Several men living within q half mile
were aroused and hurried to the scene OF
bloodshed. They found Hessler lying on
! the bed still clutching the pistol with
which his vengeance had been taken. In
a corner OF the room, covering with her
face to the wall was the woman, whilo hsr
alleged betraysr wri.hed in pool Of blood
on the floor.
Hessler accompanied the men without
resistance. He spoke freely with them
and said he had only done what any man
would have done in his place. A physi.
clan, who was called, found two wounds
in McCoy's body. One OF the bullet g
had struck his backbone and paralysis has
or will likely follow. This shot must
have been fired after Hersoh left tho house
az he swears he heard but one shot and he
saw wound in McCoy's head before he
left.
An investigation has been made by
Justice Brown and the woman was ex
amined. She protested that she was en-.
tirely innocent and declared tina. her hus,
band was insanely jealous of her. She ia
20 years of age and has always borne a
good reputation. She says Mccoy was o
friend OF her youth and that he has been
in the West for years; that being in the
neighborhood and hearing OF her he called
| on her, and that she had been i'll all day.
Hersch confirms this. She states that
| when Mccoy called she asked that he be
sent upstairs. They engaged in oonversa,
tion for an hour, when her husband came
in.
MoCoy's father is in the mountains OF
Colorado, and has been telegraphed for.
Mrs. Hessler is in very low state from
nervous prostratiOn, but will no doubt re-
cover.

Apropos of the circumstances of his re-
cent address 70 the graduates OF the
University OF Texas, good story is told
Of old Governor Hubbard. Not long ago
he was sitting In tho offioe OF friend In
Galveston, when he happened to pick up
one Of McGuflin's school readers. Glancing
through the book he came upon q poem
which interested him somewhat. He read
1t over two or three times, and was more
and more pleased with 1t each time.
John" said he to his friend, ''who is
this man Gray who writes poetry for the
school books ?"
"Gray GrayS Upon my word can't

The Queens Pstticosr,

from inc LoIsurO HOur,
II was at about the same date (1S55- 5G)
that our gracious Queen set the fashion OF
wearing scarlet under petticoat, an idea
obtained from tho milkmsids at Balmoral.
II is said that the late Prince Consort, In
admiring the effect Of the red petticost In
the landscape, suggested that Her Majesty
should adopt one also. This sealed the
fate of white petticoats in England. They
had been worn previously to that both in
summer and winter; and Of course, In
order to make sufficient warmth, several
had to be put on, thus adding to the weight
TO be carried ct the waist. Since tho In
PRODUCTION Of the scarlet skirt the fashion
of the cOlored pettioost has been main
tained, and the useful skirt lined with
leather has also been introduced for walk
ing in the country in muddy weather.
