FACTS FoR WORKERS-

That useful and much -talked-about being the American Working1nan must feel somewhat fiattered by the attention paid him in political platforms in the newspapers and on the stump. He must think that he is a very important parsonage, especially about election time. The advocates of both the great parties are busy telling what they (the parties) have done for him. And it is very plain that the advocates of the Republican party have much the best of the discussion. It would be hard to find any legislation by the Democratic party when it was in power designed to foster industry and benefit labor. But when the Republicans came into power they soon began to demonstrate their genu- inc interest in the laboring element of the country. In a powerful editorial the Washington National Republican calls atten- tion to two of the grandest measures in the interest of labor with which the pages of history are marked which the Republican party put into effect on the first day of 1863. These were the liberation of the slaves and the passage of the homestead law.
 The destruction of slavery, it is pointed out, opened up virgin field to the army of free labor To-day in Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Virginia and Alabama work ingmen by the thousands are making a liv- ing in iron mines, coal mines, cotton facto- ries, foundries, rolling mills, blast furnaces, and other forms of industries, where twenty five years ago the workingman was barred out and unwelcome. Such manufacturing cities as Roanoke, Virginia, and Birmingham, Alabama diraat1u fbo roc111H of h ican legislation as they would have been had the party passed laws and provided means for their building.
 The homestead law put it in the power of the humblest toiler to enter any part of the public domain and take unchallenged pos session of an estate which through his indus try would soon enable him to put himself and his family beyond the shadow of want. "The boGnd- less West is dotted with prosperous home steads acquired through this grand poor mans law, the owners of which but for it's munifcent provisions would to-day be labor i ing in the crowded marts of industry with out the prospect of more than earned living. And the gracious bounty of the homestead law is still held out to every poor man in the land"
 The Republican party has followed these two great enactments by laws tending in the same genera. direction, and the benefits which have been conferred on laboring men and women by them are not few or small. The party intends to continue to help labor CTS by maintaining the policy of protection, and on this ground, if no other, all interested should vote with the party.

An African ssoharmer,s,, Victims.

An African mail steamer some time since brought an account of discovery of human remains in bush near the town of Lagos, which to the belief that the victims had been decoyed there and butchered, as all of the skeletons appeared to be those of women. The last steamer which reached Liverpool from West Africa has brought some further particulars on the subject. The native, Adeoshun, who is under arrest charged with the murders, has for some time past been re- garded as Ju-Ju medicine man, and had great influence over the women of Lagos ow- ing to his dealings in s'charns" and fetish
 The first charge against Adeoshun which was investigated was that of the murder of Mrs.
 Selina Cole. This lady disappeared myste- riously some time since, and it was thought that she had been sold into slavery. Subse- quently her husband became aware that cer- tain property which formerly belonged to his wife was in possession of the accused. A search warrant was obtained and the goods to the value of some f150 were found on the premises of Adeoshun, all of which was said to belong to Mrs. Cole. The matter having
 been taken up by Inspector Willoughby, of the Houssa police, a bush near the town was searched and the search resulted in the dis covery of first four skeletons and subsequent ly eight more-twelve in all. The remains of Mrs Cole were among the number. It is said that the accused, by the aid of his charms, was believed by the women of the
 colony to be able to bring them wealth. From Mrs. Cole alone it is asserted that Adeoshun obtained some 95, ,O00 previous to her disappearance It is stated that the pris- oner induced his victims to meet him in a
 lonely part of Ikoyi (near where the bodies
 were found) and there compel them to kneel down with their eyes blindfolded. A live fowl was then put into each hand of the vic tims and while in this position it is believed
 they were despatched by the aid of some
 heavy weapon. So great was the excitement
 among the people of the place, particularly among the women, while the prisoners ex- animation going on that force of Hous- sas had to be stationed at the police court to protect him from the violence of mob of about three thousand people.
 The steamer Block Island got aground near Deep River Wednesday morning during a heavy fog while going from Norwich to Mid dletown, and could not get off until noon. Consequently the excursion of the Baptist Sunday school of Middletown was postponed antil Friday

AN UNKNOWN sET.
The ChristadelPhtan Creed and the Strange History of Its Followers.
 TIrro,,, +l,a I1,,ffo1o EyTrASS

The ChrfstadeIphian- Creed and the Strange History of Its Followers. From the Buffalo Expressl Thomas Williams of Waterloo, Ia., is one of a small and almost wholly unknown sect called Christadelphians. His discourse in this city tended to show the belief of the de- nomination which he represents. His hear CTS were few in number, only a small portion of them differing in religious creed from the speaker. Williams stated that the Christaz delphians were the result of a revival brought about some forty or fifty years ago by Dr. Thomas of London. Dr. Thomas had come to this country, settling in Virginia, where he was for some time among the Campbelites. He disagreed in belief with Alexander Camp bell, and started new sect by featuring through the country and editing paper called The Herald of the Kingdom as re1ig- ious organ. The bible is made the founda- tion of all beliefs of the sect. It holds that there is one God inhabiting light, unap- proachable, set everywhere present by uni versal spirit; that Jesus of Nazareth was a moral man born of Mary by the holy spirit, and thus constituting the son of God; that he was put to death as a sin offering, and af- rewards resurrected and take into heaven, where he is to remain until his second com ing.
 1t is claimed that man when created was a living soul with the possibility of being nor tai or immortal. By sin he became mortal subject to death; that in death he is abso- 1utely unconscious, and therefore depends upon resurrection future life; that immor- tality does not exist in man, but will be i'm parted to him as reward after resurrection and judgment. The wicked, instead of sui fering everlasting tornents, are to be put out of existence.
 Christ, at his second coming, which is to be an appearance in the flesh, will rule for 100 years, during which time men will be born and die as in the present dispensation The resurrection and judgment of the whole world will take place, the wicked being de- stroyed and the righteous receiving immor- tality. Thereafter, throughout all times, the righteous shall inherit the world in mate rial bodies with Jesus Christ king in the flesh over all. The denomination have no clergy the meetings being conducted by com potent lay brethren.
 The Christadelphians have existed as sect in Buffalo for about eighteen years, during which time weekly services have been held among members until recently at their va rious houses The members at present mum Der less than a dozen.

The First Rothsch1Id.

Letters from Frankfoft-onthe Main.
 No trace will be left of the houses in which
 Borne, the German writer, and Meyer Ans
 chel Rothschild, the founder of that family s fortunes, first saw the light. Since 1872
 only single row of houses was left, one side of the street had been pulled down after the fall of two houses, when thirty one per sons were buried in the ruins Looking at the Judengasse in it's present aspect one is struck by the narrowness of the houses.
 They have three stories facing the street, and the whole of the facade is studded with small windows The gables are pointed and access
 is gained to the houses by three or four steps. The doors open SSinto dark passage, at the other end of which is worm-eaten wooden staircase, the boards of which bend as one puts one's foot upon them. The rooms are small and low-pitched, and they are inhabit- ed by few of the poorest and most squalid families Jews snd Christians alike The room upon the ground floor is used 8 shop
 by dealers in old clothes, shoemakers and tinkers. Several of the wealthiest merchants in Germany at the present time may regard these novels as the homes of th1er ancestors, who are now replaced by these poor wretches.
 There is little that is picturesque about the
 Judenpasse and those who have had their curiosity whetted by the descriptions in "Ba- deker'' will have seen nothing comparable to what one comes across in Italian ghettos.
 More curious than the Judengasse is tavern hard by where Jewish beggars meet a night fall. This tavern, kept by a man named Levy, consists of one long room, the walls of which are painted yellow. Little drink is consumed there, but the customers take their meals there and play cards. Round a circu-
 lar table 8 cosmopolitan company, consisting
 of Jews from Poland, where the caftan and
 long curls are still worn, as well as from
 Paris aud Berlin, may be seen conversing in
 low tones, and upon the evening when the correspondent paid visit to the place, in the company of detective, several women were there knitting, one of them being one of the handsomest persons he had ever seen, with magnificent eyes, and white skin, and jet black hair eneirc1ed by handkerchief of red wool.

EDITORIAL NOTES.


 No ''6zzle" about the Republican rally last evening.
 Terrible things are happening nowadays. Wtadtstaw Andrzejewski, baker of Law renee, Massachusetts, has failed. Good judges declare that seventy per cent. of the votes cast in Maine the other day by Irish-American citizens were cast for Governor Robie, the Republican candidate for governor.
 The new divorce law in France has given sweet relief to one long-sutfering couple named Granville. They were married fifty years ago. The lady's age was then sixteen, and fifteen days after the wedding she ob- tained separation from her husband
 Typhoid fever is epidemic in the vicinity of Columbia, South Carolina, and the local physicians have observed the curious fact 1 that large majority of cases are located di- rect1y in the paths of the disastrous torna- does which swept through the State last spring.
 The Providence Journal thinks that the in- teresting ethnological statement that ftthe faces of Europeans, as a rule, are broader than those of Americana may have been l made from observations at a Democratic mass meeting after the reception of the news from the Maine election
 In 1864 Thomas A. Hendricks, now the tail of the Democratic dog, said he trusted life | still remained in the masses, and that they had not been sunk so low by the four years of despotism but that they could rise to crush out abolitionism and tEhurl the smutty old l tyrant at Washington out of political exist ence."

volition having retarned, Miss Carson pulled her sun-bonnet from her head and, winding 1t around her right hand, caught the snake by the head, uncoiled it from her ankle and threw it with such force against astone fence near by as to kill it instantly. It was after ward found to measure five feet three inches in length Miss Carson reached home in an exhausted condition Medical assistance was promptly summoned, and everything done to relieve her sufferings, but it is feared that gangrene will ensue, on account of the with cred condition of the limb, which is rapidly falling away. The mucles of the ankle have been reduced to mere threads and the cir culation of the blood was entirely stopped.

YOUNG GIRLS PERIL.
Fascinated by a Snake, Which Winds
 Itself About Her Ankle.


 From the Huntington Pa) Newsl Miss Elizabeth Carson, aged 20 years, of Roxbury, was directed to repair to the black berry patch, short distance from the house, and gather berries for supper. When the young girl had filled her basket she experi- enced peculiar sensation in her left ankle, which appeared as though wound tightly with rope. Miss Carson, to her unspeak- able horror, discovered that huge black snake had coiled itself around her ankle, and was drawing itself up tighter so as to posi- lively stop the circulation in the limb and cause the most excruciating pain. She had no sooner set her eyes upon the reptile than it charmed her, and she was rendered power less to free herself How long she remained in this condition Miss Carson is unable to say, but thinks it must have been over ten minutes.
 The snake wound itself so tightly around her ankle that the muscles of her leg were drawn out of their natural position, and the circulation of the blood having been checked the contortions of the muscles had the effect of drawing the eyes of the snake from that of the victims, thus breaking the charm
