A rumor has prevailed at Washington
that General Sherman has written a letter
absolutely declining to have his name
mentioned at Chicago. and declaring that
he would not accept If nominated. sena-
tor Sherman thinks it probable that his
brother will make such declaration
!. The only argument against Mr. Blaine's
nomination is the assertion in some quar-
ters that he could not carry New York.
To test this question the News-Register Of
youngstown. o.. has addressed inquiries
TO large number of republican editors
throughout the State. The great majority
reply that Mr. Blaine could unquestion-
ably carry New York. Only four repub-
lican papers think he could not. and only

Threats Of Slander.

The opposition 10 Mr.. Blaine - . can
didate for President threaten 10 open sew
ersl vials of slander against him which
have not been uncorked. should he be nomi.
mated BY the national convention. Why moi
open theu at once and allow their malodo-
rous contents full venta The threat fright
ems nobody of sense. Instead it brings
new supporters to Mr.. Blaine. Several
vials Of slander were discharged previous
70 the last week of the election Of repub-
licAn delsgatss to Chicago. but the only
effect It seemed 10 have was more abund-
ant shower of Blaine delegates.
SANDER Is two-edged weapon. 1t cuts
two ways. The hand that Yields it is Of
ten severely wounded. while the person
q which the blow 10 simed Il benefited BY
the intended injury. We have had some
remarkable instances. in our Presidential
elections, of the effect of slander TO help
its intended victims and overwhelm the
party or persons employing Il.
When Thomas Jefferson was q candidate
for President everything vile that slander
could discover or invent was discharged
against him to prevent his election. He
was painted ~ black ~ Satan himself.
His private character, his public acts and
political opinions we're assailed with all
the vilest epithets, abuse and scandal. that
his opponents could command. But JEFF
terson was elected President. not only in
spite of SANDER, but in part by the SYM
pathy and support which it brought to his
side. Andrew Jackson is another eminent
example OF the reactionary effect of SIAN
der when aimed at a prominent mark in
the political world. Jackson was charged
with the blackest crimes mentioned in the
decalogue, a. well as all the political Of
fences known to his time. The campaigns
IN which he was candidate for President
were rendered bitter. hot and fierce with
the most outrageous slander and person
nantly assailed. in spite of her gentle and
christian character. But the slanderers
failed in their object. Jackson was elect
ed in spite of them. and much of the great
popularity which he subsequently enjoyed
was due to the malignant attacks of his
personal and political enemies. The SLAM
derers were overwhelmed with the recoil
of their own weapons and jackson filled
the highest ONCE in the nation eight years.
when Garilsld was nominated his charac-
ter WAS without reproaoh, but slander
assailed him violently. with the result that
he Was triumphantly elected by the popu.
lar vote.
II tho enemies OF Mr.. Blaine would look

IL helps the slandered. There is sense
Of justice implanted in the hearts of all
men that revolts against the practices Of
the slanderer. and carries them over to

and makes them friends instead Of enc.

Arsenic for a Whole Family.

ELKToNj Nd, Jan. 23.-A small

just above a small thoroughfare
known as Collins Lane. Mrs. Will
liam Hall, with her six children. re.
sldes IN this humble dwelling. Last
night she poisoned herself and entire
family with arsenic, and the chances
are that the mother and one chill
VIII die. The otherflye will recover.
Ihe terrible deed was not discovered
until this evening and then it was
asceftained that poverty caused the
poor woman to seek the death of her.
self and family. When the neigh-
oors, who, alarmed by the absence of
all signs of life about the little dwell
ing' entered tonight terrible spec
tacle met their eyes. The mother
Insensible and her children were all
helpless from the effects of the dead
~ drug. AS soon as possible kind
hands and skilled physicians were
rendering aid to the sufferers, and it
is thought they will be able to save
five of the family. The scene ofpov-
erty and distress of which the inter-
lor OF the house so eloquently tells is
one seldom met with outside of large
cities. Not a morsel of food could be
found and the family were scantily
provided with clothing. The moth
er was too proud to beg and preferred
death to poverty. No one in the
neighborhood suspected that such a
case existed, and as soon as the facts
were made public help was literally
extended. The theory of those who
have investigated the case is that the
arsenic was administered in water.
1t is stated, however, that the moth
er had not enough of the drug to kill
all the family, and that in dividing
1t she did not give five of the children
full dose. A number of kindheart-
ed citizen have taken the matter in
charge, and all who survive will be
provided with means of sustenance.

Horrible Death.

The McKeesport Record tells the
story of the sad death of Saturday last
of Ernest Frederick. He was en-
ployed at a sewer from the National
Forge to the river, to be completed
by Saturday evening if possible, in.
order that the furnaces might be put
in operation and the mill started up
on Monday morning, and in order to
accomplish this the men have been
working both day and night. A Sec
ton of the ditch had been dug out to
a depth of about fourteen feet, just
between furnaces No. and 5, and
the men were about to commence
putting in the sewer pipe. There
were several in the ditch, when, with
out warning. it caved in. They all
escaped excepting Ernest Frederick,
who was buried beneath the fallen
clay. Knowing exactly where he
was, the men set to work at once ID,
unearth him. After shoveling for
quite d while they came to his head,
and by degrees worked the dirt away
from him down as far as the lower
part of his body. A rope was tied
around his body and upon this some
of the men pulled while others caught
their arms around his waist, but all
to no purpose, as he could not be ex-
tritated from his perilous position in
that manner. BY this time the water
began to rush in and fill up the awful
pit in which poor Frederick seemed
doomed to die. A small pump which
was in working order was put in op-
Grafton, while the men baied as best
they could, but in spite of all their
efforts the water gradually rose up
around the man and shortly after two
O'Clock he was completely submerg-
ed.
The earth caved in on him at ten
minutes before twelve O'Clock, covers
ing him four feet over his head. 1t
was about twenty minutes after two
O'Clock that the water rose over him
and he was drowned. The poor man
suffered terribly in both body and
mind, and begged of those around
him to take an axe which lay near by
and knock his brains out. When our
reporter visited the scene of the acci-
dent this morning no trace of the man
could be seen; but he was said to be
standing in an upright position with
hetter than two feet of water above
his head. The hose, pumps, and
everything were frozen UP, but were
being thawed out as fast as possible
so as to pump the water from around
the body. He was German, recent
ly married. and had just purchased
furniture to go to housekeeping that
day, and he with his bride expected
to eat supper in their owa house that
evening.

does MT know reputable gentlemen,
physicians, artists, clergymen even,
who were never drunk in their lives,
and never will be, but who reveal, in
conversation and in conduct, certain
melancholy effeCts of the drinking
habit? The brain is so often inf1am-
ed with alcohol that its functions are
imperfecty performed and there is
perceptible loss of mental power
and of moral tone. The drinker is
not conscious of this loss but those
who know him best are painfully
aware that his perceptions are less
keen, his Judgment less sound, his
temper less serene, his spiritual vision
less clear, because he tarries every
day a little too long at the wine.
Even those who refuse to entertain
ascetic theories respecting these bey.
erages may be able to see that there
are uses of them that stop short of
drunkenness, and that are still ex-
tremely hurtful to the mind and the
heart as well as the body. That con-
yentional idea ofmoderation, to which
Sir Henry Thompson refers, is quite
elastic the term is stretched to cover
habits that are. steadily despoiling
the life of its rarest fruits. The
drinking habit is often defend nded by
reputable gentlemen to whom the
very thought of a debauch We uId be
shocking, but to whom, ifit were on
ly lawful, in the tender and just So
licitude of friehdship, such words as
these might be spoken: 1T is true
that you are not drunkards, and may
meyer be; but if you could know,
what is too evident to those who
love you best, how your character is
slowly losing the firmness of its tex
ture and the fineness of its outline
how our art deteriorates in the deli
cacy of its touch how the atmosphere
of your life seems to grow murky and
the sky lowers gloomily above you
you would not think your daily in
diligence harmless in its measure.
1t is in just such lives as yours that
