The Augusta Outrage.

Augusta special.
The friends of Mr.. Blaine are determined to
hunt down, expose and punish not only the iend
who mutilated the gravestone Of his child, but,
if possible the people who instigated the out
rage That this outrage was only one feature
of conspiracy to disgrace the living members
of the Blaine family and to dishonor the dead
infant unfortunately, seems well established,
and that the motive was political is equally
patent. The graveyard outrage, embracing the
effacement of the date of Stanwood Blaines
birth and the photographing of the disfgured
headstone was intended to supply worse than
periured testimony in support of the scandalous
insinuation which an Indianapolis newspaper
was mean enough to print, and which other
Democratic newspapers are expected to copy as
an Offset to the revelations which have blighted
Clevelands presidential prospects.
Mr.. Blaines prompt and manly refutation Of
the SANDER and prosecution of the slanderers
nipped the scheme in the bud; and he is equally
determined to bring the perpetrators and insti-
gators of the Augusta infamy to Justice. The
dissertation Of little Stanwood Blaine's grave
has been known to the household in Bar Harbor
for several DAYS, but it was thought best not to
give the matter publicity until the detectives
were on the track Of the guilty parties. It is
now only question Of time when they shall be
arrested. Indeed the detectives think they can
lay their hands upon them at once, and only
await one or two links of the testimony.

Advice to Yonnr Women.


Louisia NJ Alcott, Author of Little Women''
My Dear Miss-I can only reply to yours as
to the other innumerable letters of the same
sort which receive. One must wait aud work
long and patiently before success Of any sort
comes, and talent must be in the tales or they
won't sell. If people won't take the stories try
something else. For young woman with good
health and brave heart many ways of earning
living are open if she can put her pride in her
pocket and take whatever comes, no matter how
humble the task may be; nurse, teacher, com
panion, housekeeper seamstress, or servant are
all honest trades, and worth try
ing while waiting for the more agree
able work. / tried them and after grubbing
and grinding for twenty years made hit, SEEM

riched, and so believe heartily in that sort Of

good they will find market if they are not.
stop writing and try something else. The gift
is born with US, and can not be learned, as some
think Knowing nothing of you or your capabil-
ites it is impossible for me to advise or recon-
mend except in this general way Hope and
keep busy is my motto, for while one works

in regard to the reported finding of articles on a

expedition II know that all the tents were
taken away; that no casks were taken from the
Jeanette and carried away, and that there was
but one bear skin in the party, and that was left

Americanism does not mean antagonism We

A vile Charge Refuted.

Special TO the indianapolis journal TX
GREENsBURG, Aug 20. Yesterday the County
Commissioners were confronted by charge
that the present superintendent of the county
asylum, E. K. Pond had been guilty Of improper
relations with one of the inmates. Pond, who
is a worthy and reputable man and local
preacher at once demanded an investigation
which was had oday, the charge being supported
only by the evidence of Archey Herndon, a
thoroughly disreputable man and former
inmate of the asylum. The Board
at once and without moments delay
said, by unanimous vote, that he was not guilty,
and awarded him the place for another year at
an increased salary. This was dirty political
effort to get the paupers under the care of a
Democrat while Pond is thorough Republican
and perhaps the best superintendent the asylum
ever had. Some of the investigators are deeply
chagrined over their defeat, but decent people
of all parties are well pleased at the failure to
smirch the character of good man and his
