INFAMOUS AND MALICIOUS.
Governor St. John Denounces the False
hoods Told About Him.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, December l2.-
The Leader Of this city publishes letter
received by Rev. John c. Hanna, Of
Bloomington fIom Governor st. John.
He makes some bitter denunciations, and
among other things says that the story
published in the Republican papers that
he, at any time during his life, proposed
in any manner or form TO sell out TO the
Republican, Democratic or any other po-
litical party or organization, is simply one
of the many infamous and malicious lies,
for which the Republican press during the
recent campaign has been noted.
He writes that he Is comparatively
poor man, and that all his expenses while
upon the Prohibition stump were betrayed
by the party OF which he was the stand
ard-bearer. The Republican party and
all other enemies, he says, may continue
to burn him in efiigy, still it will not make
him swerye from what he thinks Is the
path of right. The spirit of intolerance
exhibited by the Republican press to-day,
is doing for the party just what the same
spirit did for the pro-siavery party thirty
years ago.

A Romance OF the Peerage.

Anther interesting chapter is added
to the many romances Of the British
peerage by the suit which has been
brought in the Scotch Court of Sessions
by Mr.. Fraser of Carnarvon to recover
the title and estates Of the Scotch baro-
ny of Lovat. Readers of recent Eng
lish history will not have forgotten the
wicked and infamous Simon Fraser,
Lord Lovst, who was executed in I774,
as one Of the plotters to restore the
"young Pretender," Charles Edward,
to the English throne. 1t appears that
this wicked Lord Simon had an elder
brother, Alexander Fraser, wild char
acter, who had killed a fiddler in a
brawl, and had fed from Scotland into
Wales Lord Simsn fraudulently repre-
sented Alexander as dead without issue
and thus secured possession of the title
and estates. The fugitive brothers. ad-
ventures in Wales, however, were re-
markable. He first took refuge in Powys
Castle, where he worked underground
in the lead mines in disguise. After
many wanderings, and many years spent
in the harassing condition of an outcast,
Alexander Fraser is said TO have marri-
ed at the age Of sixty-three, a young
Welsh woman named Elizabeth Ed.
wards. By this marriage he had four
sons; and it is from John the eldest of
these sons, that the claimant TO the title
and estates claims to derive his heirsh p
by direct descent. The title is now
held by the direct descendant of Lord
Simon, who denies the claim on the
ground that Alexanders marriage and
identity cannot be proved. The case is
creating much interest in British aristoc.
ratio circles.

Hair Growth and Intellect.

According to French paper there is
a German professor who maintains that
the reason why the sheep is so intellect
ually backward and slunted as we know
him TO be is that the strain which the
growth Of his coat imposes on his or
ganism absorbs its entire of energy and
leaves none to support the mental func-
tions. And SO it is with the bear. The
sagacity of the animal world is, the
professor insists, the appanage OF the
hairless creatures, and he instances the
elephant and the serpent in support OF
his theory. Extending his observation
10 inanimate nature, he points that the
grander and loftier mountain SUBMITS
are totally bare Of vegetation, while it
is only the tops Of hills and mountains
of the secood class that are covered with
verdure and are susceptible of cultiva-
tion. And applying his theory to the
human race, the professor undertakes TO
demonstrate that badness is mark Of
intellectual superiority. 1t is result

Judge and Conductor.

A young lawyer once quite forgot
himself in some curt expressions to the
Court, but the Judge was sensible
man, and in consideration of the imma-
turty of the member of the bar, treated
the matter rather gently. He made it
clear, however, that the style had bet
ter not be used again, and remarked
significantly: "This Court is naturally
qulck-tempered." A remark, by the
way, not inapplicable to the late Chief
Justice Bigelow. who on one occasion
was brought to his bearings in a way as
effective as it was amusing. He was
riding in car which did not stop at
Quincy, where he resided, and as it
was passing by, he pulled the rope and
the train was brought to sudden stop.
The conductor rushed into the car and
demanded; "Who rung that bell?" al
did," said the Chief Justice. "Why?"
"Because wanted to get off. =" AT
which the railroad official indulsed in
some remarks which were not compli-
mentary and hardly respectful. The
Judge afterwards complained to the
President of the road, who promised to
look into the matter. But he found
that although the conductor might have
used hot language the Chief Justice
was not without fault, and said nothing
about it. When they next met, by
chance, the latter demanded of the
President whether he had reprimanded
the conductor. 81 spoke to him." was
the reply. "Well, what did he say?"
"He SAID that he was coming up some
day TO adjourn your court" The irate
magistrate saw the point, and did not
pursue the investigauon.-BoStOn Eve'y
