Two More Indictme nts.

Slowly but surely the iniquities Of the
Grant & Ward failure are meeting their

1t is quite possible that, Fish who wa,
brought out Of prison to give evidence
against Ward, will now be brought out
to tell what he knows concerning the
charges against Warner and Work. Fer
dinand Ward may likewise be called into
court to testify in this matter.
The bitter feeling that the public enter
tains against this lot of men is due in part
to the fact that they betrayed General
Grant, and caused his ruin, and haste ned
his death. 1t seems that though Ward
was primarily the evil genius of Grant
and his sons, yet all who had crooked
business relations with Ward share In thu

helplessness of investors and dspositors
against the swindling cashier. The great
robberies Of modern times are not bur.

is the sleek, respectable bank official
himself. Often he wears the mask OF
piety the better to conceal his crimes, and

whom nobody ventures to suspect until
he is found out.

The Virtue OF Silence.

That silence is one of the great human
forces comes to Misunderstood slowly. 1t
may be called one of the middle age
truths. Perhaps we must be the victims
of it before we can be the agents of it.
Perhaps we must suffer from II before we
value it. AS has been said ofhappine.s
How natural is Joy. my heartl
How easy after sorrow. ~rt
So it is-how natural-to speak. We be-
gin by being natural. By and by the In
visible law begins to bind us down, and
the lips Of life are locked to impulses and
to so much Of holy truth as therein lies.
The Mexicans are wise who whisper over
the cradle Of the new born babe "Child,
thou art born to suffer; endure and hold
thy peace Hf ~ q. rs
The defensive power Of silence is per-
haps the one We observe least carefully,
because II is the subtlest. In the friction
and passion and function of daily life,
what weapon is mute tongue! You
find fault with the coffee, the weather,

ill.naturc splutters up into the surcharged
air Of tired household like match on

may be. Her eyes giveyou one blessed

Nobody answers back. ."r You are felt
beating the air with an idle blade. You
are humiliated like man whose chal-
lenge is unaccepted through scorn. Your
modification is her victory--divinely mob

behind it. She is silent through gentle

How to Air I,eds.

The most eifectual way to air beds and
bed clothing is to throw the clothes over
chair and lift the mattress partly over
the footboard in round, hoop like fash
ion and If feather bed is used pull it of
upon chair. Then open the windows
and door so that current Of air can pass
through the room, and let 1t remain SC
for two. or three hours, or even longer
Beds thus aired are always healthful, and
will induce sound sleep in their oc
cupants. Each member Of the family
should be trained to do this daily, and
never allowed to leave the room until il
is so arranged. Boys as well as girls car
be taught to do this, and they will rear
the benefit Of II through their lives, and
be sure to have their children trained il
the same way.

Morey. at Colombo, Ceylon, in his annual
report to the Secretary Ct State, notes the
fact that while the direct imports from
this country to Ceylon consisted Of $50,
400 worth Of kerosense oil, there was, in
fact, $4,000 worth Of American pro-
ducts and manufacturers brought into
the, island, mostly through British India,
and credited to that country. There was
an increasing demand for fruit evapora-

Meeting After Thirty-ono Years.

The return OF Leonard Poole to Hol-
brook, Mass, after protracted absence,
suggests the nucleus for romantic story,
the denouemcnt of which differs materi-
ally from the usual climax OF fictitious
narratives. Thirty.onc years ago, while
young and enterprising man, having a
wife and infant daughter to provide for,
he left his home In Holbrook to seek his
fortune in the West. He declared he
would never return until he had made q
fortune. During his absence he wrote
home frequently. He became gold mi
ner, but accumulated little. About a
year ago his wife died. The daughter
had previously become the wife Of Lu.
ther A. Hayden, of Brookville. After in
curing VARIOUS vicissitudes, the absent
father at length determined to retrace his
steps towards the East Collecting what
gold he could, he set about returning on
a train, which was attacked by robbers.
and he, with others, lost his all. He was
thrown of the train and received painful
injuries. emanaged to reach Boston in
sorry mental condition, and was arrest.

Something About Corsets.

The ancient Greek and Roman women
and their modern imitators, the French
women of the first republic and the first
empire, are the only women on record
save among savage and barbarous tribes,
who have not worn corsets. Not precise
ly the corset OF the present day, Of course,
but an attempt at garment taking its
place and performing for the female
form what our modern French or Ameri-
can corsets do. The same primitive
waistband found amid the antiquities of
Greece and Egypt was discovered on a
female figure, in bas relief, in Polenqul,
one OF the pre- historic cities OF South
America. II represented the waist of the
wearer, or the space between the hips
and ribs, compressed as in vice. Nam
ma tells me that she can remember when
the corset was a very different garment
from the corset of to-day The change
has been gradual, but sure. Thirty years
ago, was with steel, whalebone and
shape that put the wearer in tortures to
lace it, whether loosely or tightly, the
corset was the sure destroyer Of the
health Of woman. 1t was q much longer
garment than the corset Of to-day, and
Its steels and bones were Of almost un-
| yielding stiffness. Now, corscts are
made short on the hips and low in the
bosom and back. They follow the lines
of the figure, and are intended not to sup.
port or suppress 1t, but merely to afford
an underwaist which will prevent the
unseemly wrinkling Of the body of the
dress worn over il. Very little steel Is
used, and that Is as flexible as watch
spring. though, Of course, little strong.

The Chicago 1'rt6une suggests that the
policy of the Republican party "in the
future lies in the nomination of man of
extraordinary popularity like Mr.. Blaine,
but who can at the same time command
the Mugwump vote. This vote Mr. Daven-
port had, but, whatever it may have
amounted to, IL was far more than offset
by the Blaine Irish, who went back all
over the State"
Mr.. Joseph Medil's knowledge of hui
man nature and of political parties should
teach him that there is no candidate that
can at the same time secure the vote Of
the Free Trade Mugwumps and the Irish
Protectionists, or, as he calls them, the
Blaine Irish" He is seeking for an
impossibility, and will please accept a
little anecdote to illustrate our meaning:
A man wanted jockey once upon a time
to procure him horse for the use Of
himself and family. II want one" said
he, "that will pace under the saddle and
trot In harness; that will 90 single and
double; that will stand without hitching;
that is not afraid of the cars; that child
can drive; that lady can ride; that is
good for ten miles an hour as roadster;
and that can dust the track at 2:40 in O
race. "For Gods sake, stopp cried
the jockey; there amt no such horse.
The would.be purchaser had united i'm
possible and conflicting qualities in ont
animal. I.- .
And SO it is with Free Trade Mug
wumps= and. Irish tProtectionists. I
fAyestdenttat cdHutttuec t1af both pould sun
port must inentably cheat one or the othe
when lie got into office. The Irish Pro
tectionists do not propose TO be the part,
cheated. The Democrats are dominated
by the sentiment Of Free Trade, and al
ways have been II the Republican
party should abandon its splendid record
Of protection we should do our best Il
defeat 1t, for II would deserve the death
of traitor to principle and to its owl
fame.
Perhaps 1t would be well to say tha
when we speak of Mugwumps We NEAR
that pro-Anglican, Free Trade type rep
resented by the Erening Post and tn,
New York Times. We have no doub
that by the virulent Misrepresentation o.
those papers many young men were In
duced to vote for Cleveland who viii
gladly come back to the party of Pro
lection. They voted for Cleveland unde
a mistake, without the slightest intention
of becoming Democrats. They will
naturally rejoin their old associates ant

MISCELLANEOUS DOTS.
SIX DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
The Terrible Experience OF a Hunter Lost
ina West Virginia Forest.

A week ago last Monday James Hell
mick and Abe Dawson, the former about
twenty y-one years old and the latter fifteen
years old, left St. George in Tucker
county, w. Va, and crossed over the
Backbone for the purpose Of killing deer.
Dawson came home without Helmick,
but nothing was thought Of it until late
on Saturday night, when Helmick failing
to come in, fears for his safety began to
be entertained Dawson described the
place where he had seen Helmick, and
early Tuesday morning large party of
men started ia search Of The missing man.
The woods in which he was lost are in
the northwestern end of the Canaan val
ley, about seven or ten miles from Davis
City, and is a wild andrugged wilderness,
which for fifty square miles has not one
human habitation. The land is high,
cold and damp, the thick woods keeping
off the sun, and the dense and matted
masses of laurel so covering the ground
that in places no living being can pene-
trate the thickets without scrambling over
the top OF the tangled Jungle. The
| ground is not well drained and is swampy,
water standing in dark pools in the de-
pressions, and the deep caverns among
the lodges Of rock that here and there
protrude. Ice forms during the winter
and does not melt till late in the summer.
So dense are the branches OF the trees
that in some places the sunshine has not
touched the ground perhaps for centuries,
and an eternal twilight broods over the
wilderness. John Last and James Evans
were lost here several years ago, and al
though large numbers of men searched
for them for weeks, they were never
found, and are supposed TO have starved
to death.
The quest for Helmick was kept up all
day Tuesday, Tuesday night and Wed.
nesday, Thursday and Friday, but with
out success. The weather has turned
very cold in the mountains, and fears
were expressed that Helmick would be
found frozen to death Finally trail
was struck, and after being followed for
fifteen hours, Helmick was found lying
at the foot Of tree in dense laurel
thicket When found it was twenty
miles to the nearest house. and an entire
day was consumed In getting Helmick to
shelter. Both feet were bare and badly
frozen, and he was almost dead from
hunger and exposure. He had cut his
shoes of because OF his swollen feet, and
in doing so had lacerated his feet in q
terrible manner, being much weakened
from the loss of blood. Both feet will
) have to be amputated. Helmick's nara
tive of his experiences forms terrible
Q chapter Of woe. 1t is wonderful that he
escaped alive.
