A Veteran Of Waterloo.

CINCINNATI ONO, Oct. John
Wentzel, n well-known resident OF
Cumminsville, died ut his residence
on Lingo street Wednesday morning
ut four clock, aged eighty-nine years.
Mr.. Wentzel was born in the city OF
Mainz, on the Main river. His father
was an officer under Napoleon l.,
which entitled him TO serve as one OF
the Young guards. At sixteen years
of age he was at the battle Of Water
loo. but his regiment did not arrive
on the memorable battlefield until the
fortunes of the day had been decided.
A few years later, emigrating to this
country, he enlisted in the service Of
the United States, and served through
the Seminole war, narrowly escaping
death while carrying dispatches, his
two companions being killed by am
bushed Indians and himself severely
wounded. He crossed the continent
with Fremont, the Pathfinder, and
if his varied experiences were collec-
ted in volume it would read like n
romance. Before this he served in
the Mexican war, and was never bet
ter pleased than when sitting with an
attentive group around he told "of
hairbreadth scapes by food and field"
He was n kind neighbor and good
citizen. The little folks especially
will miss the cheerful smile and kind.
ly word of greeting from " Grandpa
Wentzel, and those of older years
will miss the bright, active old gen.
tleman, who could say truthfully, 81
saw the great Napoleon on the field
at Waterloo" But the grim reaper,
Death, has scored another victory,
and he who passed safely through
four wars succumbed at last to the
rapages of old age.

A man who had not been long il
this country was employed as a do
mestic in a family, and upon one oc
casion he was sent to the express
office to obtain a package. He was
about to leave with it when the clerk
called his isattention to the three letters
G. o. d.

meant, but he cleverly guessed at
them.
"It's all right" he said; "the ovid

"But you know what these letters
say, Pat?'
.'Indade, I do. Call On Dad. It's
as plain as the nose on your fuce.'
There is almost pathetic truth in
the understanding conveyed in this
old story. Many a man is bounded
to death by the unreasonable calls
made upon him by members of his
family who are educated up to this
very end by himself, at first in that
fond, slavish spirit of indulgence
which the American father displays
toward his offspring, as if it were some
kind of an uuthinklng mechanicalpet,
and afterwards on the unfailing prin-
ciple that they who SOW the wind will
reap the whirlwind.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

| w ASHIN0TON, OCl. IL, lOoO'
It is learned that Minister Fosters
recent negotiations with Spain did
not have in view another reciprocity
treaty, as was supposed, but looked
to the establishment of freer CONNER
cial relations between the United
States and the Spanish colonies, and
especially to the lessening of the an
noyances and mitigating the onerous
regulations to which shipping merch-
ants are subject in trading with
Cuba. There is reason to believe
that Minister Foster succeeded in
his mission, although all official in
formation is denied. !
Many of the newly appointed dem
ocratic officials hold state or city Of
fees, and under the executive order
of Gen. Grant made in 1872, feder-
al officials are prohibited from hold
ing state or municipal Offices. In
quiries are being received, especially
at the Post Office Department, to
know whether. this order is in force.
The reply is made that it is still in
operation, and it can only be recind-
ed by an order of The President. As
these officials are members OF boards
of supervisors, ,and act in other capac-
tiles in carrying on the elections, the
enforcement Of the order will be felt
widely.
Gen. Atkins, the commissioner OF
Indian affairs proposes to profit from
his experience as chairman Of the
House committee on appropriations,
and in his estimates for the next year
he will ask for only what he actually
wants. He expects to get everything
that he asks for. The total amount
which he will ask for will be larger
than the amount appropriated last
year, for the reason that the educa-
tional system among the Indians will
be extended, and as far as possible
the government will take charge of
all schools, instead of carrying them
OH in connection with the religious
societies. Mr.. Atkins has Travelled
extensively among the Indians since
he became commissioner, and he will
therefore have q number of recon-
to make of practical
value. Il.

The proposition to send orators to
Ireland to aid in Parnell's canvass,
is like sending GOALS TO New Castle.
Ireland is the nursery of orators, and
the cradle of oppression is the best
school for eloquence, and the utter
ance of the people. A few of the
new candidates in Ireland are de-
|scendants of the most eloquent men
of her history. A grandson of Graf
ton has been named for parliament.
Ireland is the land of music, mirth,
song, wit and eloquence, and it now
seems not far distant when the harp
that has hung 50 long mute on Tara's
walls, will be strung to a new an
them of national freedom under q
native parliament. Mr.. Parnell de-
clares that England cannot hold out
much longer against an Irish parlia-
ment. ~ ~ -

A Thrilling Scene.

A few years ago, 1 was in company
with gentleman who just returned
from the city of L------, iniNew Eng
Iland.d He said he put up at the ho-
tel, and for time took his seat in the
bar room. 81
The door opened suddenly, and q
woman stepped in. She was thevery
picture of agony her hair dishevelled
her dress negligent, her eyes unsteady,
and her movements eccentric She
seemed to hesitate at first, but at
length gathering courage, she moved
up to the bar, and said
Landlord, don't sell my husband
any moro rum, You have already
ruined us! You know that before he
came to your bar he was a sober man.
He was as kind husband as any wo-
man ever had We had a good home,
a good farm and every comfort. But
you sold him liquors until he had no
money to pay. Unknown to me you
got mortgage on his farm; you sold
it, and turned me and my helpless
children out dUnr,l My husband
lost his health, his character and rep
utation. He became cross and abu-
sive to me, whom he once tenderly
loved. He turned me out of our
wretched hovel into the cold and
Storm! He comes home from your
tavern infuriated like demon. My
once kind and amiable husband, and
the tender father, is a madman when
in linuor. He beats my children cru
elly, and threatens to murder us! o.!
don't gice him a,y more liquor! and
the tears gushed from her eyes, while
the landlord stood speechless.
In the midst of these entreaties,
which should have broken heart of
adamant, man stepped into the bar
room, with the vacant stare of an ine-
briate, and moved toward the bar.
Instantly the pleading wife threw
herself between the man and the bar,
and one hand against his breast, and
the other stretched out imploringly to
the landlord, she said.
"Oh don't, my dear! don't drink
You'll break my heart!" and bursting
with agony, she turned to the land
lord, and said.
"Oh, don't let him have it don't"
And while this scene was passing,
heart rending and awful beyond
description, the landlord walked de-
liberately out from behind the coun-
ter, and taking the woman rudely by
the arm, said, This is no place for
women" and violently tore her from
her husband, and, pushing her out
shut the door against her.
The wretched inebriate staggered
and drank his dram, placed piece of
money upon the counter, the land
lord wiped it off complacantly into
the drawer, and the drnnkard passed
out, maddened with the draught to
renew his brutal attacks upon his de-
wife and children. >
No one defended such barbarous
cruelty as this. No one apologized
for it. All agreed to pronounce the
landlord worse than a brute. But
there was one fact deserving of spe-
cial attention. The whole transaction
was under the sanction of the law

One of the worst obstacles to the
spread of the gospel is the unchristiar
conduct OF men and nations who beai
the Christian name. Englands com
pulsory imposition of the opium traffic
upon China, and the recent unjustifia.
BILE aggressions of France, have un-
doubtedly led the Chinese people to
draw conclusions unfavorable to the
religion of the English and French.
The United States, also, is hardly in
u position to throw stones at France
and England. An act of injustice to
China, of quarter of century's
standing, still testifes against us. In
1858 an indemnity of S735,000, for
alleged outrages on American citizens,
was exacted from China by the United
States. After every claim that could
be proved was paid with interest at
twelve per cent, there still remained
d balance of$240,000, which invested
in bonds has grown to 1884, 600. This
money Iightfully belongs to China,
and every president, from Gen. Grant
down, has recommended its return,
but Congress has failed to take the
necessary action. Senator Pendleton
has now introduced a bill to restore
the money to China. The bill ought
to be speedily passed. Christian na-
tions should at least practice the
principles of conmon honesty toward
their neighbors. Japan has just re-
mttod 100000 10 Corea, which had
been unjustly exacted in the same
way. Let not Christian nation be
by q heathen government.
