TEE New York Times has seriously o

The New York Times has seriously offend
ed Colonel JosE NJ AGUIRRE, of the Re
public Of Honduras, BY publishing not long
since an article entitled "a Race or LAZY
PEoPLE," which reflects unmistakably upon
the people of TrujillO in the Republic OF
Honduras, and to which the COLONEL re-
plies in a pamphlet in English and Spanish.
Among other outrageously mean things, the
Times made the CoLONEL furious by saying;
"In order to make love in Trujillo one
has only to select a yonng girl fourteen
wears old, give her present, and that wall
be sufficient to make her resolve 10 hive with
him Who desires her, reserving the right OF
leaving him Immediately for any other lover
who may be finer man or more liberal IN
his gifGs."
To this the Colonel indignantly replies
that their women are beautiful, honest and
spirituelle so frank and loving, so tender
and resigned; faithful keepers of their hus-
bands honor, veritable household angels, fit
and fervent priestesses in the sacred wor-
ship Of the family"
An true men viii stand sghast at the pre-
sumption of the Times man. Colonel
eAsUrRRE is here assured that the CORE
spondent did it purely to spite one Of those
faithful angels who wouldn't have him be-
..eause she saw through him.

How Andrew johnson Became Drunk.

Perhaps the most disgraceful scene in our
history as republic was the day of Lin
coins second Inauguration, when Andrew
Johnson, the Vice President elect, made a
maudlin drunken spesch before the leading
men of this nation and the representatives
Of nearly every foreign nation of promi-
hence. An old Senator told me tonight
Row this came to be. Said he: Andrew
Johnson was accustomed to drinking but he
seldom took more than he could conve-
niently and sensibly carry. While Governor
of Tennessee he used to keep bottle Of
whisky in a covered washstsnd in his office,
aud / have taken several drinks with
him there. He would raise the cover.
take q drink and offer one to me.
Still this was q common custom in
the South, and Johnson was not looked
UPON as drinking man in Tennessee. l
DO not think be often took more than
tnough for himself at Washington. As to
his drunkenness at his Inauguration to
which Sumner so sarcastically alluded on
tie Senate floor, John w. Forney told me
low il occurred. Forney was Clerk Of the
Senate at the time. He said that Johnson
had been drinking the night before the in
augurstion with lot Of friends at the
Metropolitan Hotel, and as is usual in such
cases, he arose the next morning with q
bad taste in his mouth and no appetite
The result was that he started up to the
Capitol without breakfast, and when he got
there be was very weak and he looked wan
and haggard. he came into the Senate
and asked Mr. Forney if he could get him q
drink of whisky. Forney replied yes, and
went out and brought in bottle Of old
Kentucky Bourbon. Johnson took this and
poured a goblet half full, while Forney s
eyes grew large as he gulped it down.
This amount would have been enough
to have made al ordinary man drank,
but it was not enough for Vice
President Johnson. He filed the glass half
full again and threw it in upon his empty
stomach. He Their walked off across the
room, and he only staggered little as he
took his place beside President Lincoln in
front of the assemblage Of Cabinet Secrata-
ries, foreign Ministers, and others. When
it came time to take his oath and the book
was handed him to kiss he waived it aside
with his hand and tegan to make speech.
What he said was never reported in the pa
pers, but it must have been very funny. He
took each Of the Secretaries to task and
gave them instructions. he addressed the
foreign Ministers, and though Forney tried
to pull him down by holding to his coat
tails behind. he wosld not stop, but went on.
President Lincoln was, as were all the Amer
leans present, grieved by the occurrence,
and Abe Lincoln said: Il hope this viii

Assignment OfJOhn Roach.

John Roach, Of the firm Of John Roach &
Sons, the famous ship builders, has assign
ed to Geo. w. Quintard and Geo. E. Weed,
with certain preferences. The failure is as
cribed by some to the refusal of Secretary
Whitney to accept the dispatch boat Dol
phin constructed by direction OF the United
States government. He first directs the
payment Of the wages and salaries OF his la
borers and other employees, as the law pro-
vides shall be done, and names preferred
creditors to the extent OF about $125, 900.
One cause Of the assignment is said to be
Mr.. Roach's state OF health. He is suffer-
ing from heart disease, and fatal results
were feared ii he continued to worry over
the supervision of his business. His attor-
ney says the contract for the three cruisers
will be carried out.
The Herald's New York special gives the
following as Secretary Whitney's reply to a
question as to the probable effect of the
Roach failure upon the government. Sec
rct;lry Whitney said:
don't think it will have any effect upon
the government. l am very sorry for Mr.
Roach. l am always sorry when IL man
falls into such difficulties, but do not see
that the failure can have any considerable
effect upon the government. The govern
ment has one vessel in his ship yard, and
two at New York, building, but the am cunts
are nearly all paid on them. l saw in a
morning paper that Mr.. Roach thinks I
am responsible for the trouble, or at least
l could give relief, but the government owes
only the amount still due upon the Dol.
phin, which would not be enough to put
him upon a sure footing again.

A Shocking Tragedy in Iowa.

Eldora special:-A bloody and mysteri-
GUS tragedy was enacted in Buckeye town.
ship, this county, four miles south OF Alden,
recently, whereby young and beautiful
girl was butchered while sleeping in her bed,
and her slayer met death by his own hand.
The latter was George Johnson, a married
man twenty-seven years of age, and the
victim was his sister-in-law, aged nineteen.
Johnson, with his wife and children, lived
on rented farm, and to all appearances
was happy and commended. With them liv
ell Miss Grace Rand, sister OF Mrs. Johnson,
a cultured and accomplished young lady.
in the second story OF the house. Half an
hour later Johnson occupying bed room
down stairs with young man in his
employ, proceeded to the chamber where
his wife and her sister were sleeping, and
lea ming over the bed he kissed her, babe her
good night, and immediately hurried down
stairs. The actions of her sister after the
departure OF her husband, caused Mrs.
johnson to turn her attention toward her,
and she was Mortified to discover that the
girls throat had been cut from ear to ear
In the agonies of death she rolled from
the bed and lay upon the floor with
her night clothes drenched in blood. The
hired man FASTENED to Alden for medi-
cal assistance. When the party entered the
house they found the body OF Miss Rand
lying on the floor beside the bed. Search
was then made for Johnson, and he was
found near the door, sitting on the embank
ment OF the house, with his knees drawn up
to his chin, and arms across his breast He
was alive, but across his throat was a cash
which, however, failed to sever the jugular
vein. Doubtless at the moment Johnson
was kissing his wife he drew the razor across
the throat OF her sleeping sister. Johnson
died without making a statement. 1t is
known that he held his sister-in-law in great
esteem, and violently opposed her marriage
with n young man OF her choice which was
to take place before long. Some think that
he was infatuated with the young lady and
killed her in an insane fit OF jealousy.

The Idiocy of Capital.

Chauncey NJ. Depew, for many years at
torney and now president OF the N. Y. Cen
tralrairoad, said recently: Heis very much
puzzled to account for the continued de-
preston in business. He says that the only
way that he can account for it is that cap
ital is in idiot. He says that there is every
condition for favorable investment, much
beyond anything known in the most flush
period since the war. We have he thinks,
gotten to the end OF our failures. The peo-
pie who have not been able to meet their
Indebtedness have already gone to the wall.
Those who are in business are in the main
out Of debt. Every sort OF trade is down
to a hardpan basis. There are now in
the banks Of New York $1GO, 900, 900 OF
unemployed capital. OF this, perhaps
$3O,O0O,OOO is drawing l per cent. The
rest is drawing nothing. There is proba-
bly, twice tho amount OF this idle capital in
the outside banks OF the country, Why
this capital should be idle is one OF
the mysteries OF finance. There are plenty
OF good investments which are safe and Sc
cure yet capital to-day hesitates to go into
anything, wilhelm our last flush period there
was nothing too wild or idiotic for money to
rush into. He repeated again that capital
is an idiot, and the investors are governed
more by the condition Of the atmosphere
and OF public feeling than they are by their
own Judgment.

At Redwood Falls, Minn., Israel I. Alex
ander shot his father-in-law, Charles Now
ers, three times, killing him instantly. The
weapon used was q Smith & Wesson revol-
yer, caliber 38. It appeared from the state
ments OF the witnesses that Alexander came
on to Second street from Mill street, with
Movers about ten feet behind him. When
near Chambers store Alexander turned
and fired, hitting Mowers in the abdomen.
Mowers fell on his side, leaning on his right

streets being almost destitute of people.
Alexander deliberately shot him three times
more, one shot penetrating his brain and
killing him instantly. Alexander had been
married and separated from Mowers
daughter, who had begun proceedings OF
divorce against him. The shooting took
place but Il few doors from the home of the
deceased, and the screams OF the family
were hecrtrending. The deceased leaves a

The New York Herald correspondent
at Madrid says, under date Of July f.,
that in the Spanish city OF Murcia,
containing with it's suburbs a popula-
ton of about 100000, the cholera
has, in twenty-four days, beginning
with June S, attacked 3,215 persons,
of whom 1860 have already been
buried. In this short time one person
in thirty OF the city's inhabitants has
had the cholera, and one in tweny
has died. This mortality shows that
the disease is going forth for it's sum-
mer campaign in it's most violent form.
Later accounts show no diminution
Of mortality.

charters has scarcely been verified in
the case of the banks in New York

in that city whose charters expire dur

nine have applied for and secured an
extension for twenty years. The period
of the charters of the other two do not
expire until later in the year. The

that extensions have been made on
