Honor to a Vile Rebel

The closing of the Interior Department,
by executive order out of respect to the
memory Of Jacob Thompson Secretary OF
the Interior under President Buchanan, is
an act that will cause shame and indigna-
ton in every northern community in which
the character of this vile traitor to the
country is known. Patriotic democrats
must condemn it as severely as republic
Thompson trampled under his feet, an
outrage upon the government that he
robbed and betrayed while holding high
position under it,
Thompson. who was Secretary of the
Interior under Buchanan, lett that depart
ment in disgrace in connection with the
funds of Indian tribes, in which some
$500 900 was stolen. He did not retire
from the Cabinet, however. before he had
informed the secession authorities at
Charleston of the decision to reinforce and
from New York of the steamer Star of
the West TO perform that duty. He was
already one of the secession commission
ers OF Mississippi, and in order that no
time should be lost in putting the Seces.
siouists on their guard. he used the tele-
graph, Immediately after a Cabinet
meeting at which ne was present, to in
form the rebels of the action taken. Dur
ing the rebellion he was in Canada. and
was an active member of that colony of
traitors who were accused of plotting to
Northern cities, and was known to be act
lively engaged in the incendiary and inhu-
man scheme to create conflagrations in
the same cities BY the use of Greek fire.
Thompson was under such dark suspicion
of possessing a guilty knowledge of the
conspiracy to assassinate President Lin
coin. that Andrew Johnson Immediately af-
ter his accession to the Presidency. offered
by public proclamation,a reward of $25.-
600 for Thompson's arrest. Thompson
was never pardoned, and never had mis-
political disabilities removed.
Such in brief is the history of the man on
account of whose death the Interior De-
partment was closed the other dav. by an
executive order, and the national flag
placed at half mast Never until this dem
ocratic administration was such an insult
offered to this nation. Two members of
Buchsnan's Cabinet have previously died,
but no public notice was taken OF their
decease. Now the most despisable traitor
and villain OF all is honored at his death
as though he had been worthy
patriot, and the question is very appro-
priately asked whether in case JEFF Davis
should die the War Department, of which
he was formerly chief, will be ordered into
mourning and the flag of the country be
lowered in token of respect.
This is one of the changes which the
election of democratic administration
brings with it. Soldiers of the Union

Deer Perishing in the Woods.
THE ANIMALS DRIVEN BY STARVATION TO
THE FARM YARDS N SULLIVAN COUNTY
NV YORK.

George z Stanron's farm is near the vii
lage Of Mongsup Valley along a much fire.
quented turnpike. few days ago as Mr.
Stanton was looking up the road from his
window, he saw a large deer running down
the turnpike toward the farm house. 1t kept
the road until il was less than rod from the
house, when it leaped the fence, entered the
barn yard AMI, miDgling with the cattle,
began to eat with them from the hay-ricks.
After lively chase the animal was captured
and imprisoned in the barn. II dashed wild
ly about in the barn for long time. but has
quoted down and now eats ravenously of the
food given it.
This deer is only one Of many that have
been driven into farm Yards and even into
village enclosures in different parts OF Sulli-
van county by the deep SHOWS and rigorous
weather. The snow is three feet on the level
in the woods. and the water in the swamp Is
frozen solid. In Bethel township a
farmer found three deer one morning last
week feeding with his cattle IN his barn yard
they run away to the woods, but return night
" to the shelter and food of the farm yard
At another farm buck and doe have been
mingling with the cattle every night for two
weeks. A third farmer saw buck early one
morning this week enter his barn through a
door that had been left open. The farmer
stole out and closed the door
The next morning doe was discovered in
the barn yard. 1t ran half way across the
field, when it stopped and stood looking back.
The farmer heard great noise in the wagon
sned where he had confined the buck, and
found that animal struggling on the floor en-
tangled in the rope. Fearing that the buck
might jnjure itself badly the farmer cut the
rope and disentangled the deer's legs, when
it spring to its feet and bounded toward the
door, which had been left Jar. and dashed
away across the fields with piece of rope
hanging 10 its hams. 1t joined the doe
which was still standing in the lot, and the
two disappeared in the woods together The
next morning both were seen in the barn
yard again, picking sp bits OF hay and corn
stalks. Since then the farmer has thrown
food in the barn yard and the two deer come
every night and feed. Old hunters argue
that this has been one of the most severe
winters on game on record, and that many
deer must have persisted in the swamps. -

of. I've got all your letters with your full name

THE WIDOWS DAUGHTER.
A Foolish Neither Deceived for Year by
Forged Letters.

Esston Pa Special.
One Of the sharpest. shrewdest and neatest
games ever played in Easton has just come to
light. Mrs. Mann, widow lives on Pine street,
near Fifth. and has a good looking daughter
aged thirteen. Theodore Oliver of the firm Of
Oliver u Co., sheet iron manufacturers lives in
q handsome house on Fifth street, near Pire.
Over year ago he became widower Shortly
afterwards Miss Mann began visiting his resi-
dence. month later the girl handed her
mother a letter supporting to have been written
and signed by Mr.. Oliver. Tie contents were
to the effect that Mr.. Oliver had become
financially embarrassed, and requesting tenn
porary loan. This was the beginning OF
lengthy corfespui,dence. The amount aske;; for
was given the girl TO lelivri. In a few days
the girl handed her mother anotnsr let
ter, written with "a lead penc>,.
From its tone Mrs. Mann was led
of her, and more bright and happy future APP
peared. There was nothing suspicious about
the letters, and as has since been said Mrs
Mann thought that as Mr.. Oliver mad bu. a
short time before became a wiiowe. he had
taken this method of showing his frIe ndship for
her rather than call at the house until several
months had passed. Mrs. Mann answered the
letter, and gave it to her daughter to deliver.
The next week Mrs. Mann received another
letter, asking for fifteen dollars with which to
help pay Mr.. divers employees The money
was given the girl, with instructions to deliver
it at once. The next letter started by Mrs
mann Delng cGIleu MY Dear W lie, ana the
recipient replied by calling Mr. Oliver ''hy
Dear Husband Several other letters came
asking for money to pay gas bill, pay for
turkey, and for money to pay board for Mr.
divers horse. All the money asked for was
given the cir. to deliver. Matters then
remained silent for about week. One day
the girl came home with gold ring, placed 1t on
her mothers finger, and said it was a present
from Mr.. Oliver Mrs. Mann was now sure that
Dir Oliver sincere n his intentions
subsequent letter proposed marriage, and ro-
auested Mrs. Mann TO see clergyman. A min
lister was visited and arrangements made for the
wedding Mrs. Mann ordered an outfit and made
other preparations FOR the event The next letter
stated that Mr.. Oliver had ordered suit of
clothes at heightened store, and that it would
not be ready FOR some time. The next letter
asked for more money, and it was cheerfully
given. Sums of money in small amounts
also handed the girl by her mother On verbal
messages The correspondence was kept up
nearly. year and still Mr.. Oliver and
Mrs. Mann had net met or spoke
to each other. On several occasions
after Mrs. Mann had been away from home her
daughter told her mr. Oliver was here and had
just gone" or, MIR Oliver has just passed the
house. and if you had been here sooner you
would have seen him"
Last Friday, a gentleman who lives in the

COnfederates at the Grant Funeral.

New York World
While tho ex- Confederate generals were very
much pleased with their reception in New York,
they must have found their positions during the
ceremonies occasionally trying This was par
ticularly shown at the close of the ceremonies at
Riverside Saturday in the cases of Generals
Johnston and Buckner. Johnston sat at the side
of Sherman. Sherman in a blazing uni
form of the highest military rank known 20 this
country. He was alert, happy, and the idol of
the crowd Johnston was in plain civilian dress,
making in every way the strongest possible con-
trast-a foil for Sherman's brilliancy and success.
The contrast in the appearance and actual posi-
ton of Sheridan and Buckner was equally
marked. In no way could the contrast between
the different courses pursued by these gentlemen
through life have been better illustrated. Yet
the vanquished and the unsuccessful bore them
selves with the serenity and fortitude Of gentle
meu whose defeat is becoming to them a victory.
while the bearing of Sherman and Sheridan was
as modest and unassuming as only great rnea
know how to DO.
