THE life of Miss Eva Mackey, whose marriage

THE life of Miss Eva Mackey, whose marriage
takes place on Friday, reads like a fairy tale,
with the grand transformation scene occurring
early in her career instead of waiting for the APP
pearance OF the prince or the wedding day, as is
commonly the case in these delightful romances.
Beginning life in Nevada, the dreariest spot, per-
haps, on the American continent, and with moth
ing but poverty and toll in prospect for herself
and her widowed mother, she became in her
babyhood the adopted daughter of a miner, him
self but little better endowed with worldly pos
sessions than the woman he married. Before
the girl was old enough to know the difference
between poverty and riches, however, the new
father was no longer a mere miner,
but a bonanza king" with money flowing
into his hands like water. Since then she
has enjoyed the royalty of wealth,
which, take it all in all. is probably quite as sat
isfactory as to have been born to the purple
without the wherewithal to provide the har-
Paris, surrounded by every luxury, and taught
the accomplishments thought necessary for
young princesses to possess, the prince comes
to make her his wife, just as they do in the story
books. Whether the lucky Italian, though de-
scribed as the genuine flower of an ancient
civilization, will make the young woman hap
pier than one of her own countrymen might
have done, is the inopportune question some will
ask; this is a matter with which the public has
nothing to do. In the fairy tales, and all other
prope-ly-constructed romances, the heroine, so
soon as she becomes a bride, is ID dismissed to ever
lasting bliss, and only the too curious are dis
satisfied or call for a sequel. Miss Mackey's
career is interesting. as showing the varied ex-
p~erience possible to an American.

THE Journal has already alluded to the
New Orleans, c~omplimenting the courage and
honor of the mayor who sent a message to the
Council asking that Ford, who is a city
official, be impeached and removed from Office.
The trial was concluded Monday afternoon,
the jury being discharged for failure to agree.
Every paper in the city expressed belief in
the guilt of the defendants, but great fears were
expressed about the jury, which was a very
unsatisfactory one. When the jury was
polled, a special says, it was discovered, with
some surprise, that it stood eleven for acquit-
tai to one in favor of conviction; and still
juror, who Lad prevented the prisoners escap-
ing, was discovered to be j. w. Edwards, a
negro ex-politician, but now out of
employment, whose name was stricken
from the roll of jurors in the
United States Courts by Justice Woods
for rendering an outrageous verdict. There
seems to be no doubt that the jury was tam,
pered with. Runte, one of the jurors, begged
for a clean suit of clothes, and sent his old
ones home. The deputy sheriffs examined
them carefully, and found a letter to his wife,
telling her to see the wife of Judge Ford and
let him know the result of the interview.
Edwards, the obstinate juror who prevented
an acquittal, says that friends Of the prisoner
visited his residence while he was on the
jury and frightened his family by theaten-
ing his life unless he brought in a verdict
of not guilty. There was a great deal
Of public excitement over the case, and had
there been an acquittal, trouble was feared;
but the mistrial had no perceptible effect, and
the crowd which had hung about the court
room awaiting the return of the jury, quietly
disappeared. The press of the city express
the greatest regret over the result of the trial.
1t is an unquestioned triumph of injustice
and ~villainy, and a direct invitation to mob
law should another foul murder be com
mitted. There is no other explanation of
lynch courts and lynch executions than the
outrageous miscarriages of justice under the
operations of what is called claw" as it is ad-
ministered by inefficient courts and corrupt
scoundrelly lawyers. d. ees :

THE TEXAS ..GENTLEMAN."

A So~utherner's Anxiety to 'Lick' a Colored
Man Who Gave Him Some
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The indications point
to a hard struggle for the colored race under the
Democratic administrator, in spite of the as
severations of the leaders to the contrary.
There is nothing like power, real or assumed, to
bring out the bad traits In a mans character. 1t
mas frequently been noticed that a place on the
civil or military list will transform q person
naturally a cad into a snob or a martinez. An
instance occurred the other day which brings
this fact forcibly to the front, and serves to
prove that the statement which forms the intro
duction Of this has a substantial basis.
Among the employees of the Sergeant
at-arms's Office of the House is a young
man from Texas, named Kingsbury. He is
a short, thick-set man, with a smooth face, and
is perhaps thirty years of age. He#asrfd1ng in
one of the bob-tailed cars that carry a passenger
from the State Departmentto the Capitol for
three cents. By his side sat a gentleman who
has lived in Washington for a year or two.
Opposite was a colored man, bearing all the out
ward and visible signs of a gentleman, and per-
haps thlrty-ive years old. When the car reached
Gl1C VI Tic ulll HS companion dSkcu hluBS-
bury the purpose of a building, which he pointed
out. Kingsbury replied, THAT is a negro
church, and addressing the third occupant OF
the car he said: Isn't it old manq His
~vis-a-vis answered: s"That church is owned
by the Methodits, L believe, sir; among it's congre-
grafton are both white and colored people"
Kingsbury was not satisfied. He belonged to
a superior race and would not brook an i'm
piled standardization from a niger" He
flew into a passion and shouted across the car:
II said it was a negro church, and 1 consider
that you fellows ought to feel c~omplimented ut
the term. don't want any of your imperti-
hence, either, damn you"
The niger remained calm and simply said,
"You asked for information, and / answered you
to the best of my knowledge"
By this time the car had reached the Capitol.
The ''nigger" got off and went his way. Kings
bury and his companion proceeded towards the
entrance to the building and the gentleman from
Texas remarked: ''These cussed niggers are
getting too big for their clothes. That
scoundrel was altogether too impertinept.
If it hadn't been for this sore finger --i if 1
wouldn't have licked him, and l have a good no.
ton to go back after him and do ii now"
.Oh, no, don't stop now, for I have got to get
into the Capitol" was the reply.
whats that got to do with my licking him9 I
used to own three hundred of the cussed mig
gers. said Kingsbury.
"Weli, {" said the other slowly, 'ff you want to
lick that niger, you have got to lick me, too.
You don't own one now; and furthermore, that
man was a gentleman; you are a sneak and a
coward. When your finger gets well enough you
know where to find me, and l shall be only too
happy to accommodate you at any time"
Kingsbury's finger is still sore.

THE trial of "Joe" Mackin, the Chicago
Democratic statesman, for completely with the
Eighteenth ward election frauds, whereby it
was attempted to steal the Legislature and a
United States senator. is in progress before
the United States Court. So far there has
been developed very strong proof of the
swindle, and testimony is offered to
the effect that the bogus tickets
put into the box several days after the election
were furnished by order of Mackin, who was
the secretary Of the Democratic committee.
Whatever may be the legal result of the trial,
it is quite certain that Mr.. Mackin's future
usefulness as a 'reformer" is permanently in
iurad

FRANCIS MURPHY, who is conducting a
temperance work in Pittsburg, has been an
tagonized by the local organizations, because
he refuses to adopt the methods and ideas of
the Prohibition party. He has entered into
no controversy, but has ignored the abuse
heaped upon him and has gone on his way
quietly. Not so his son, Edward Murphy,
who is also a temperance worker and a some
what fiery young man. At a meeting on sun
day evening, to a crowded audience, he made
a vigorous defense OF his father against the
unreasonable attacks of his opponents. He
admitted willingly that both father and son
might be in error, but he objected to having
their methods criticised and themselves abused
without other plans being suggested. t'If
you who are criticising US know something
better, in the name of God give it to us.
What makes prohibitions" he continued.
"Pnblic sentiment. The traffic exists because
the people demand it. And when prohibition
comes, it will never come through a third party
My father and myself are not Prohibitionists,
in the third-party sense. People can do more
good by remaining in their W party than by
attempting to form a third party. Prohibi-
ton was not made in Maine, Kansas and
Iowa by a third party, and it will never come
in this State by that means. If the Prohibi-
tionists who are SO fond of criticising my faith
er's work would study the question carefully
they would come to the same conclusion"
The applause with which these remarks were
received might we'll have been taken as a
pointer" by the other side, were they not
as violently opposed to new ideas as to rum.

GENERAL HAzEN, Chief Signal Officer, is
greatly distressed because of a misuse of the
words ''cyclone" and tornado by the average
American man, and particularly the average
newspaper reporter. The name cyclone was
originally applied to the violent storms of the
Bay of Bengal and other tropical regions. It
is a broad storm, from 100 to 500 miles in
diameter, bringing heavy rain, and leaving a
calm space in the center from ten to fifteen
miles in diameter. 1t travels from twenty-five
to thirty miles an hour, and often lasts a week.
ToYnadoes are violent local storms. and
occur in certain parts of a c~yclonic storm.
They last only an hour or two, and. unlike
the cyclone, are SO destructive as to sweep their
narrow track clear of nearly all structures.

twenty degrees below zero. and all the railroad

PRESIDENT ELECT CLEVELAND will be in
Philadelphia next week, to consult the leading
Democrats of Pennsylvania, and learn some
thing more of what the party and the country
expect of him after the 4th of March. Mr..
Cleveland seems to have resolved himself into
a sort of travelling presidential commission,
stopping at various places, and put
ting craftsmanship on tap, for the
requirement of the art in ten easy
lessons of being a President. 1t is a new
scheme; and we advise the Governor by no
means to omit a visit to Indianapolis. Here
statesmen grow on every bush, and he can
find out more points in the Hoosier capital
than at any other place in the country. There
are such men as Hughes East, and Jim Crop
sey, and Sim Coy, and ex-Police Commissioner
Frenzel who could make Mr.. Cleveland's
head swim with information and statesman
shin.

THE NEWS FROM EGYPT.

Lord Charles Beresford, who did such
gallant service with his gunboat at the Alex
andria bombardment, has succeeded in rescu-
ing Colonel Wilson and his command, stranded
on an island in the Nile, below Khartoum,
and in returning them to Guhat. The
feat was a brilliant one, and adds
to Beresford's reputation for bravery
and skill. Colonel Wilson has gone to Korti
to report to General Wolseley the particulars
of his reconnaissance upon Khartoum. There
is still no definite news of Gordon, whether he
he is dead, and with him the heroic few who
followed his supposed personal invincibility.
Later advices give some of the particulars
of the report of Colonel Wilson to General
Wolseley. The fate of General Gordon is
settled. He was assassinated while leaving
the Government House after the gates of
Khartoum had been treacherously opened to
the Mahdis troops by a faithless pasha. This
must have been on the Goth or 9th of Janu-
airy, the date of the betrayal of the city and
its capture by the Prophet. The definite
news Of the sacrifice of Gordon to the
Egyptian policy of the government
will add immeasurably to the Difficult
ties of the Gladstone Ministry, and
will arouse England to a high pitch of revenge
against the Soudanese, whose affairs they have
needlessly interfered with, so far, in the most
appallingly bungling manner. A "peace
| policy" such as Gladstone adopted, with a re-
semblance of war in it, was to the last
degree absurd and illogical. If England is to
pursue a peace policy in the East, it must be
a peace policy in fact as well as in name. If
it is to be a policy of force, it must have sufi-
cient power behind it to enforce it upon the
people for whom it is intended.
With the death of Gordon passes away one
of the most picturesque characters in recent
history. The end being seen, his trip to Khar-
toum, undertaken under the circumstance
surrounding it, and with the blind confidence
in the 'luck" which had before attended him
in the TAPPING rebellion, as well as in the Sou
dan, seems to have been foolhardy beyond
possibility; but the whole Egyptian policy
of Mr.. Gladstone was the dream of a po-
litical hasheesh-eater, in the which Chinese
Gordon, while one of the most bizarre, was
yet a perfectly congruous figure. There has
been a rude overwhelmingly, Gordon
and possibly Stewart killed-and the whole
unsubstantial pageant has faded, leaving not
a rack behind. The next words that come
from England will be hot with the breath Of
an indignation that will know no bounds.
