Schuyler Colfax Among His Friends.

Rev. DR.. Edwards, in n. W. G. Advocate
Years ago we went down to South Bend to
witness public reception rendered by old neigh
bors to their congressional representative on his
return home The streets were full, and the
very roads leading from the country groaned
with vehicles loaded with men, women and chill
dren who thronged into the rural capital The
speeches and proceedings Of the day were re-
ported by leading daily newspapers, but none
but an observer caught the real spirit and beau
tiful motive in the event. Plain, hearty, honest
farmers by hundreds and hundreds sat with
smiling faces while they listened, and all seemed
to take pride in the central parsonage as if he
were son just graduating from college in that
lonely grove. The scene fingers in our memory
as one of the most unstudied, sincere, heartfelt
paid to an honored fellow-citizen and neighbor.

Afternoon Session.

At the afternoon session the debate upon SEN
ator Foulke's constitutional convention bill was
resumed Mr. Hilligass said that it seemed to
him that the very principle underlying the argu-
ment of the Senator from Wayne why there
should be constitutional convention is sufficient
within itself as an argument against the calling
of such convention. We have seen cropping
out disposition for tho concentration of power
IN the administration of public affairs-a dispo-
sition TO concentrate the power of the
government in the hands of few men;
II believe that the people of this State" Mr.
Hllllgass said, after thirty odd years of success
and advancement in the grand march of civiliza-
tion, have right to know what amendments are
proposed to the Constitution of their State, un-
der which they have made such signal progress.
Mr.. Mccullough said, under existing circum-
stances. 1t Is the dnty of every Democrat who
aspires to represent the will of the majority to
vote against this constitutional convention bill

General Wallace as an Author.


1t is singular that Gen. Wallace has not attain
ed ahigher place in literary estimation than that
in which he seems to be held. He has no rival in
intense and vivid descriptive writing and his
two novels 1.-THE Fair God" and ben Hur" are
mastery examples of his skill. In both in
stances, however, he has chosen subjects that
cannot be popular, and which even his skill could
not popularize. Il is to be regretted that he
has not looked into contemporary subjects with
a view to enrichlng fiction with his pen. He is
fairly rival of Scott as historical descriptive
novelist

DIR. Logan, of Houston, being at the house of

Gus that has so much intelligence? He can draw
the cork out of bottle, put the neck of it in his
mouth and empty it down his throat" IF that
is all he can do don't to see him. My pa
can do that I've seen him do it more than a
dozen times when he went out fishing" 1t may
be remarked incidentally that the room was full
of company and Judge Cummings himself was
present, and listened to the childish prattle of
his little bow.

A Stricken Netehs.rhood.-Tbe VIC

A Stricken Neighbsrhood. Tho vio-
lent death of young Paul last Satur-
day adds another casualty to the series
which seems to have fallen within the
last four years upon the eastern Sec
ton of Frostburg. Eight gentlemen,
only two Of whom survive, have
suffered, all having their homes
within a small radius. In the order of
their occurrence these sad accidents
have taken place as follows:
July It, 1881, Henry Rehs, a men,
Der of the German Arion Band, died
from a toy pistol shot wound, accident
ally inflicted by himself. He resided
on southeast corner of Bowery and
McCulloh streets, one square frem
Main.
July 90, 1888, George NJ. Kane, C.
Worthington McCulloh and Harry F.
Shaffer were drowned by the overturn-
ing of boat in the Potomac river,
near Cumberland. All resided on
north side of Main street, one house
only Mrs. Taylor intervening.
September 8, 1884, DR.. J. ]. Jones
had one Of his feet crushed under a
car-wheel of the Cumberland and
Pennsylvania railroad at Cumberland.
His escape from instant death was
miracle. After several days of great
suffering amputation was resorted to.
He and one other DANES Kane) of the
eight are live men. He resides on the
north side of Main street.
September 6, 1884, James Kane,
father of George NJ, was found n
short distance below Clarysville, near
the bottom Of steep declivity, his
buggy having overturned with him
and fallen that distance. This was an
unaccountabie escape from death.
His collar-bone was broken and several
ribs painfully injured. AS before
stated, his residence is on the north
side of Main street, directly fronting
the intersection of Bowery.
November %, 1884, Charles M.
Taylor was found dead in the yard of
his mothers residence, north side of
Main street.
The story of William Paul's terrible
death is elsewhere told. The family
residence, now occupied by R. c. Paul,
jr., is on the south side of Main street.
The following diagram indicates the
locations. The neighborhood is quite
populous, but only those residences to
which we refer are designated:
