John Young. Young, who has lost an
arm in the service, was made a helpless
cripple by an accident which happened
to him while working at the Capt.
toll building at Albany. All the Grand
Army of the Republic Posts Of Albany
petitioned the Legislature for the relief
they extended, which Cleveland vetoed.
The soldiers are asking if such a record
as this will command their votes"
Of Mr.. Blaine, the Tribune says: "a
very different sort of a man is Mr.. Blaine.
The brave stand he made in the halls of
Congress in behalf Of the Union. and to
conserve the fruits of the Nations tri-
umph over secession, did much to deep
en- and broaden the gratitude of the
country toward our eX-sOldiers and sail
ors. 1t was the voice of Blaine reciting
anew, in the face of the re-habilitated
South, the story of Andersonville, that
recalled to the Nation the horrible real
ity of the war and its own still gaping
wounds. But between a novice like
Cleveland and a statesman like Blaine,
it is enough that the latter has openly
asserted it as his belief that too liberal
policy could not be used toward the
veterans of the Government"

The Spy.of Shiloh.

This thrilling allegorical repre-
sentation has now been presented for
two nights and has met with popular
favor. Tuesday night it was presented
for the first time and considering it was
the first time it passed off very smoothly
and enlisted the deepest interest of the
audience from beginning to end. The
characters were all we'll sustained and
our amateur friends all did themselves
credit. The tableaux were beautiful
and elected the greatest approval. Mr..
Howard is certainly entitled to great
credit for the complete manner it has
been put upon the stage and for the pro-
ficiency he has secured by careful train
ing in those taking part. 1t will be pre-
sentsd every evening for the balance Of
the week and none should miss seeing
it. The members Of the G.. A. R. have
been to considerable trouble and ex-
pense in securing its production and are
deserving of the liberal patronage of all.
1t is known that the object is to raise a
post fund to aid comrades who may be
unfortunate.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 20, 1884.
Cleveland Elected.

The Official canyass Of New York by
counties was completed last Saturday
and resulted in showing a plurality in
the neighborhood of 100 for Grover
Cleveland, the Democratic candidate.
The Democratic cry about the Republi-
ecans trying to steal the state was all
sbosh and those that made the loudest
cry about it knew this fact best. The
scOntest was close one and the Repub-
licans have no need to be discouraged
over the result. While losing the Presi-
dent they have made gains in Congress
men, recovered states that two years
ago went strongly against them and in
New York cut down Cleveland's major
of 10000 for governor to the paltry plu-
rality of 100.

Grand Commander Alexander Nc Lean.
in responding to Mayor McNamara's well
coming address at the late meeting OF
the Select Knights in Peoria, ILL.,. referr.
ed to the order as follows: From small
band of fifteen hard working mechanics,
organized in 1868 in the city Of Mead
Vile, Pa, we have now become full
grown society. numbering about 10000
strong, healthy men in the United States
and Canadas 900 Of whom are in this
State. We have paid out nearly $4,000
600 since our organization, and in this
State have disbursed nearly 100000,
every delIar of which has been paid to
needy families, bringing comfort and
help to the widows and orphans at the
very time they most need 1t. That we
should receive recognition by communi-
ties for visiting the sick, aiding the help
less, and bene6ting our race, is right and
proper; thus protecting them from the
cold charities of the world. or over the
hills to the pOor-hOuse.' We make no fool

sentimentally or bosh constitutes our
manner Of doing business, but plain
practically work, done with pleasure by
hard working. honest men, having con-
fidence in each other that when the
bread winner of the family is gone, those
who were dependent upon them in life
shall receive their hard earned savings
to keep the little ones from being thrown
upon the charity of the world"

A SILENT CANDIDATE.

Washington Republican.
Washington seems to be the fa-
vorite place with the army of
cranks. They come here from all
parts of the country, and invaria-
bly, make their way to the white
house and endeavor to see the
president. The latest one turned
up at the VIII ite honsa Tuesday.
He was a respectable looking
young man from Texas, who rep
resented himself as the silent can
dictate for the presidency. He want
ed to talk the matter over with
President Arthur.
They have been throwing their
voices to me all the summer long,
urging me to run for the office, "
said the new candidate. c0uld d
not come up to see about it until
l had disposed OF my little bunch
of sheep, but they urged me SO [
hurried as fast as [ could"
"Who are they?" asked by
stander.
"Why, the people, you know;
everybody. Twas kind of King
down in Texas. They induced me
to try a cold-water cure for a sick
ness I had, and said if [ would
stay in tub of cold water all
night they would make me cold
headed King, and I did it. We
have been looking for George
Washington to come along down
there, and 1 was promised that l
should be covered with jewels and
taken with him in a chariot"
$50, not being satisfied with
kingship, you want to be presi-
dent" suggested a listener.
Eyes, l am going to be presi-
dent or detective, | don't kn ow
which. You see they are press
ing me pretty hard to be detec-
tive"
He was assured that he could
not see the president, but was ad-
vised to visit the police headquar-
ters, and the last seen of him he
was moving in that direction.

IMPRISONED FOR LIFE.
Pathetic Story of PaternaI Devotion
Towards q Wife Murderer.

| A touching story of devotion is re-
vived, says an Albany, IN. ",
special OF Nov. 20, by the annual
visit paid to John Warren, life
prisoner in the penitentiary, by
his aged father, who lives on the
cd homestead in Mansfield,
where the err.ng son was born.
For quarter of a century the old
man has visited his son in prison,
regularly once a year, driving
from the farm 80 miles distant,
always bringing his "boy" some
thing that is produced there. The
prisoner has not much hope of par
don, for his crime was too afro
cious for him to expect pardon,
and the meetings, year after year
grow more affecting, as the old
mans health is failing rapid y
His wagon was this year freighted
with good things for the son who
is legally dead. There were ap-
pies, pears, grapes, pies, cakes,
doughnuts and other things that
spoke of home and kindly remem-
brance Of him, but more than all
the warm, homemade stockings,
kuit by a mother
and sisters, we're the
strongest link to connect the pres
ent with the past. Warren's crime
for which he is paying so great a
penalty was the murder of his
eighteen-year old wife, committed
in TolIard county SO years ago.
He was then but % years old,
and while walking with his wife
along a secluded road he dragged
her to the Willimantic river and
held her under the water until she
was dead. The body was hidden
under brush and leaves in the
woods, where it was discovered.
He manifested the utmost indif =
ference when his crime was prov
en-, but his conduct while in pris-
Oh has made him a general favor
ite with the officials. He is
known as the estate shoemaker
and cobbles shoes for the prison
ers and keeps the officers sup
piled.

A Blind Hen,

Brunswick Appeal.
Vincent Penebad, the keeper of
the quarantine station, has raised
at the station, from tiny chick,
hen of the Plymouth Rock vari-
ETY., which has the peculiar mis-
fortune to be perfectly blind. OF
course it cannot find its food, but
it has always been cared for by its
owner. A succession of taps on
the floor with the fingers or knuck-
les. or the call of "Dickie! Dickie"
will bring the well knowing fowl
to its master, and the question,
''Dickie, are you hungry calls
forth peculiar, grateful series of

HE HAD A SMART WIFE.

HoRNELLsV1LLE, N. Y, Novem-
ber 25.-James Knowles, of Avo-
ca, awoke few nights ago. He
felt a violent humping on his
right ear, followed by sharp twiges
of pain as though the lining Of
his ear was being seized and torn
away. Almost crazed, he woke
up his wife and told hersomething
had crawled in his ear and was
eating its way through his head.
Mrs. Knowles lighted a lamp and
fshed for the foreign occupant of
her husbands ear with a hair pin
and a knitting-needle. She was
unable to draw it out. Mr..
Knowles then dressed himself to
go to the doctors. Then his wife
happened to think that certain in
sects were generally fascinated by
a light, and she had her husband
wait until she tried the expert
ment. She held the lamp close to
his ear.
Of it's a snap bug" she said,
"or a miller, it will see the lirbt
and come out to il"
In less than a minute Mrs.
Knowles saw the head of formi-
dable looking bug thrust out of
her husbands ear. The head was
quickly followed by body half
an inch long. The bug crept out
and Mrs. Knowles Knocked it on
the floor. A stream of blood fol-
lowedthe exit of the bug from Mr..
Knowles ear. Mrs. Knowles step
ped on the bug and killed it. 1t
was one of those big swapping
bugs that have their heads hung on
hinges at the middle Of the back,
and work them up and down like
pile drivers when on duty.
Thanks to his wife's knowledge Of
insect habits. Mr.. Knowles was
rescued from the bug in time to
prevent serious consequences.
