President Seelye's Views.
IN REGARD TO THE CHARGES PREFERRED
AGAINST GROVER CLEVELAND.


Boston Journal: The following letter
was written by President Seelye of Am
herst college, in response to an inquiry
Of friend:
AMHERST, Mass, Aug. 1, 1854 Ny
Dear Friend: Your letter of yesterday
is received in which, referring to the re-
cent charges against the private life Of
Grover Cleveland, you ask if | can con
tinue to advocate his election In reply
would say that so far from continu-
ing | have not yet begun to advocate it.
have advocated the laying down of
certain principles on which it has seemed
to me important to take our stand, and
have thus far neither advocated nor OPP
posed any particular candidate except
as principles themselves should do this.
But if the charges to which you refer
are true / do not see how one with any
self-respect can vote fc., the man against
whom they are made, nor how party
with any pretensions 10 decency can
keep such man in nomination. To af-
firm that the offenSes are venial because
they have not been haunted in the face
of the public, or to argue that since they
affect only the candidates private life,
they are no bar to his election to high
public office, indicates, ! should say,
shocking debauchery of the moral senti-
ment. Very truly yours,
JULIUS III. SEELYE.'

The Whyforeness OF the Thusly.

A woman will calmly leave the
cover Of jar containing ground cot

take the strength out of it. But she
will never leave the stopper out of a

in Paris last summer Any one send

return mail, the cornet used by
Washington to blow his fire Mt Valley

Swallowing Ones Tongue
Knnsas CITY Tlmes.

In certain salon the subject Of
conversation was the different meth
DDS of suicide. A learned member Of
the oompony recalled the fact that
slaves ia antiquity strangled them
selves by swallowing the tongue.
That's convenient kind of death, s"
said lady, and | would willingly
adopt it in case of necessity"
Cab, but that would not be death
by strangulation,' murmHred one of
her friends "in your case it would
be death by poisoning"

A Very Bad Case.

Contrary to the general supposition,
Governor Cleveland has made more rec
ora than any other man who has been
in public life for so brief period. The
democrats nominated him for president

A FoI's Scheme.


Early in the morning of the twenty-third
ultimo valuable hound, owned by Samuel
Wardwell, of Oxford, struck the hot trail of
fox. Mr.. Wardwell recently refused to
tako 800 for this hound Toward noon,
after long hard chase, tho fox and hound
were seen running along tho railroad track
near Mt. Rocky church. The rumble of a
coming train was heard. AS soon as the
locomotive swung around the curve, the fox
seemed to give out. Tho poor fox" said
the engineer, "could hardly drag one leg
after the other. 1t staggered along q few
few yards and then fell all in heap,
quivcring as if in the agonies of death.
Reused to a last despairing effort by the near
ing cries of the hound, it rose to its feet stag
gered wildly, and foil all in heap right in
front of the engine. The dog was about to
grab it, when suddenly the fox gave tre-
mendous jump, passing over one corner of
the cowcatcher out Of danger. The unwary
hound was caught and ground to pieces be-
Meath the wheels OF the on-rushing train"
"That darnod foX," added the fireman, "ao-
mally looked round and grnned as the train
passed him" Then the fox trottcd calmly
away, evidently seeking for another 500
hound TO dccoy beneath tho death wheels.

Captain Dudley and the mate of the wrecked yacht Mignonette, who were found guilty of murder in killing the boy Parker for food to keep themselves alive, were on Tuesday sentenced to death in London. It is believed that they will certainly be pardoned. The courtroom was crowded, and the scene at the pronouncing of sen- tence was impressive. Lord Chief Justice Coleridge read the judgment of the court, citing authorities at great length. The court declared that the taking of human life could only be justified on the plea of self-defense The commission of murder for the sake of preserving one's own life was uniustiiable. Of course it was duty to preserve ones own life, but duty often required one not to save but to sacrific his own life. The court must apply the law and declare that the prisoners were guilty of wilful murder, for which there was no justification. If this judgment was too se- were, the court must leave the prisoners to the clemency of the crown.
 The prisoners were asked what they had to say before sentence was pronounced. Both Captain Dudley and Mate Stevens pleaded for mercy in view of their terrible situation when the deed was. done. Lord Coleridge said it was the jury's privilege to recommend the prisoners to mercy, and then h sentenced them to be hanged, but without the black cap. Sir William Ver- non Harcourt, secretary of state, has ad- yised the queen to respite the condemned men,

Dr. T. B. Hubbell, agent of the Ameri-
 can Association of the Red Cross, after
 visiting the district in Virginia affected by
 the mysterious epidemic, has written a preliminary report, which contains much interesting information. The disease made its appearance in July before the begin ming of the drouth, thus indicating that its origin was not the bad water, although there is no doubt that the disease was aug mented by the drouth and impure water. The first cases were of bloody Aux with vomit, later assuming the form of Asiatic cholera. There was another and less se- were form of the disease beginning without gripping and vomit and not resulting fatal ly. The most efectual remedy was com- pound of castor and olive oils, laudanum and camphor. Patients treated with mer- cury generally died. Most patients had good nursing, and there has been plenty of good food and no destitution of any kind save lack of medical attention. No stock in Virginia has been affected, so far as Dr. Hubbeu could learn. Single in- stances of similar disease have occurred in former years. 6
