than a score of floats were in the procession,
bearing beautifully dressed girls and ladies' ar
ranged in every conceivable emblematic display.
There were glee clubs of mixed voices all sing
ing campaign songs, and bands and drum CORPS
in numbers sufficient to keep the air vocal with
music and evoke a chorus of answering applause
from the thousands of people who lined the
streets along which the parade passed. The
first company in line was the Irish Blaine and
Logan Club, carrying a handsome green banner,
and numbering fully 100 men. None were more
enthusiastic than this company of Irish Repub-
lieans, and they we're properly given the
place of honor One of the handsomest
features of the display was a neatly uniformed
and well-drilled company of colored men and
large glee club composed of goodlookipg colored
girls, all dressed in white There was large
representation of helmet, surmounted with a
tremedous white plume, at the front of which
rode knight clad in full armor. There were
floats filled with ladies dressed in the costumes
of ye oden time, and two three OF little girls,
whose bright eyes and fresh voices were ex-
ceedngly attractive There was the greatest
profusion of fireworks, both inside and out
side the procession. The consumption of
gunpowder was grand scale.
The residences fronting the streets were elab-
orately decorated, and from each yard rockets,
Roman candles, shells and all manner of fire
works were constantly exploded. At one end of
the park an elaborate display of set pieces was
given. After the parade had passed, at the
corner OF Sixth and Chandler streets, the pro-
cession opened ranks, and Mr.. Blaine, who had
been driven from Mr. Heilman's house, passed
through its entire length, amidst the widest
enthusiasm. He was hearty in his compliments
as to the extent and completeness of the display.
Before the procession reached Sunset
Park Hon John NJ Butler addressed
a large meeting from the portico of the residence
of Mr. II. NJ. Sweetser, and another meeting
addressed by Mr.. Taylor Of Indianapolis,
from one of the stands on the river front
Governor Porter arrived this evening, and is

will leave at half-past in the morning. A long
trip is before them, and it is scarcely probable
that Lafayette will be reached on schedule
time.
At midnight Evansville has quieted, after a
day and night of the greatest enthusiasm in
which the Republicans have made such demon
stration of their strength as has never before
been seen in southern Indiana.
At late hour tonight the Irish Republicans
marched to Mr. Heiman's residence and seren-
AIDED Mr.. Blaine, which he acknowledged briefly,
emphasizing the manifest interest the Irish
citizens of America had in voting against the
English free trade tendencies of the Democratic
party

A Magnificent Display at Night.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE Oct. % If the street demon
stration and general display of the city this af-
tornoon was great the torchlight parade to night
was simply grand beyond comparison with any
thing that has been seen anywhere during the
entire tour of Mr. Blaine. The parade at Indi-
annapolis, even mad the night been fair although
larger as to numbers, cannot be mentioned with
that which has Just passed under review by the
Republican leader In uniqueness of design and
elaborateness of preparation the pageant was
one worthy of any city in the country. The
principal display was had on Water street. and
particularly those blocks fronted
by Sunset Park The great width
of this thoroughfare afforded the ampest room
for its maneuvering, and, as it was viewed from
the corner of Chandler avenue, the long, broad
belt of cleaning torches, en- belished floats and
handsomely dressed glee clubs, with parti col
ored rockets and balls set off from all parts of
the line, but particularly from the ranks of one
company in the center, dressed in fire proof
suits and purposely assigned to that duty, the
scene was inspiring and beautiful beyond power
to describe. The managers of the parade spared
no expense of time, labor or ingenuity, More

A case that is exciting much interest
in Baltimore is the suit of Emma J.
Fearing, against her husband, Robert j.
Fearing, asking that the court declare
her marriage null and void. She is a
white woman, and her plea is that he is
a colored man. She is pretty bru-
nette, with large brown eyes, and is
quite intelligent. Telling her story for
the first time she said:
&C. was born in Dorchester, New
Brunswick, and am 29 years old. left
that place when was % years old and
went to live with my married sister in
Castine, Me. 1t was there that / first

a government vessel at that port. 1
was introduced to him at my sisters
residence, where he was well known.

that he had African blood in his veins,
and had never heard of such being
as mulatto. proposed for my hand
and l willingly gave it. We were
married on May 8, 1879, by Congre-
gationalist minister in CaStine. At the
end of the first year a little girl was
born to us, and prettier babe was
never seen. One night before her death
Robert received a letter from Washing
ton containing tin-type of his little
nephew. In opening the letter saw
the tin-type drop on the floor. He
picked it up hurriedly and thrust it in
his vest pocket, not thinking l had
seen it. The letter must have made
him nervous, for on leaving the house
he dropped it. My curiosity was
Aroused, and l picked the letter up and
read it. 1t was from his brother,
Charles, and he said he inclosed a tin
type of his little boy. When Robert
returned asked him to let me see the
tin-type. After urging he did so, and
1 saw at glance that the child was
not white. Noticing my surprise, he
said the child is little darker than the
children in this part of the country,
owing to the warm climate of South
Carolina, where the child was born.
However, he finally confessed that the
child wasa mulatto, and that he him
self was of African descent. 1 was
mortified beyond expression, and we at
once left Castine. We lived at Middle
port for some time, and then went to
| Washington. There L met his brother,
who was a very light mulatto, as was
his brothers wife. His brother was
employed in the Treasury Department,
and they treated me very kindly. Fin
| ally l got money enough to go back
home and then decided to enter this
suit. NY husband is now on govern
ment steamer at Mobile, Ala.

One Of the company had said nothing
during the entire conversation. He
was asked for his experience, and very
unexpectedly to most Of the company
ne had one to give. ''As you all know,
1 have wife and children, and L do
not need to tell you that am happily
married. Away back in my boyhood,
like most boys, I had a first love.
They are often laughed at, and seldom
make matchee, but l believe that those
early loves leave lasting impressions
and should not be made light of. We
were separated in the most natural way,
and years later we both married. We
never met, and 80 far as 1 am able to
judge, no regret marred the happiness
of either of us. Such separations are
regarded as natural and necessary; but
want to put on record here that 1
never thought of her without recalling
the pleasant emotion of her early love,
and which 1 believe are never felt in
any future attachments, however true
and warm they may be. One night,
when had certainly not thought of her
for months, I was awakened by what
then thought, and still believe, was
kiss on my forehead, and she stood be-
side me in p lain view. 1t was only for
a moment. and the incident, imaginary
or real, dId not disturb me enough to
keep me awake for five minutes. A
week later heard of her death, Good
night, gentlemen; 1 did not know it

An American of the other sex, who
has done well in England, is Edward
Payson Weston, the pedestrian. So
thoroughly Yankee in speech and per.
son is Weston that he is at once ac-
cepted IN that country as a represeta-
tive American. knew him well dur.
ing his career In the United States, and
regard him as a most remarkable
walker. 1t was not so much that he
was able TO leg it five hundred miles in
six days, and did it some time before
the long distance record exceeded his
Unit of endurance, but his more won.
derful achievement was that of being a
professional athlete without any asso-
citation with professional sporting men.
He did not for years enter into a race.
His walks were scientific tests of
human endurance l had to do with
one of these events as newspaper re-
porter.
"Who are 10 be the judgesp"
asked.
"Oh, I'd have Professor Doremus,
the Rev. DR.. Hepworth and Judge
DAILY" he replied.
Nonsense" said l, "they won't let
you use their names in connection with
a foot-race."
''See if they DON'T" he confdentially
retorted; land, what's more, they'll
actually serve--at least for the first
day."
And so they did. And moreover
they lent him the money with which to
pay the preliminary expenses. He had
been book agent. That had been the
calling in which he had developed a
wonderful capacity for walking and
talking. His perceptiveness was equal
to gaining the names and presence of
the three mentioned eminent men.
Added to this was stroke of good
luck. James Gordon Bennett was
among the spectators at the midnight
start. He is strong and expert at nearly
all kinds Of exercise, including pedes.
trianism. The notion took him to oc-
cupy the track with Weston for the
first mile. The next mornings papers
gave accounts of the start, placing the
professor, the divine and the judge in
the scorers stand and the journalist on
the track Nothing more was needed
to command fashionable attention. The
building was thronged throughout the
week by people in fine clothes. Ladies'
were abundant. The distance covered
by the pedestrian was only 435 miles,
for this was the occasion of one of his
several failures to go the promised 500.
Now that the go-as-you-please record
has been raised to 575, Weston's earlier
performances at heel-and-toe walking
seem insignificant. Nevertheless, the
435 miles were enough to satisfy the
spectators then, and he cleared nearly
S., 900. l see that he is now plodding
through England as total abstinence
Notwithstanding fifty miles every
day, and lecturlng on temperance every
evening. He will fool them in the dis
tance walked if he gets the chance.
He has made fully $1,000 in pedes-
trianism, and all of it is gone. After
winning great London match and
e2, 600, he spent the whole amount in
three months at Brighton. A line of
creditors marks the entire route of his
pedestrianism, and yet he cannot keep
a dollar.

The Emperor Julian ana Christianity.

In approaching Julian's objections to
| Christrian doctrine we must not expect
a similar idea of doctrinal proof 10 that
which prevails in our own, age stepped
as it is in the skeptical spirit generated
by the study of the inductive sciences,
and demanding for every theory,
whether Of sensible or of supersensuous
things, and absolutely verititable basis
of fact. Many of the modern difficult
ties with which Christianity has to con-
tend are altogether out of harmony
with the spirit of Julian. The miracles,
for example, recorded in the Old and
New Testaments are so ar from pre-
senting in this mind stumbling block
to the faith that he speaks scornfully of
the comparatively small number and
unimportant character of the miracles
attributed to Christ. But here, per-
haps, we may draw distinction.
Where he is dealing with things that
are said to have actually happened, or
to be about to happen, in the material
world, and which are amenable to the
evidence of the senses, Julian argues
quite in the spirit of modern skeptic.
When dealing with the story of the
Tower of Babel, for instance, he naively
remarks that if all the earth were made
into bricks it would not furnish material
sufficient for tower reaching only to
the orbit of the moon. Again, he asks
from what source st. Luke could
possibly derive his information as to
the presence of an angel strengthening
Christ on the eve of the cruci6xion.
lie complains of the confused and con-
Trajectory accounts of the resurrec-
tion of Christ, and in one fragment, in
speaking of st. Paul's promises Il
Thess., iv. of the Second Advent, he
utters the remarkable proposition that
not to distinguish, in forecasting the
future, the possible from the impossible
is the very climax of mental alteration
