A Protest from Babbletown.

4
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: There
| a few items of news here in Babbletown that JEFF.
has not mentioned in his chronicles from this
| place. Perhaps of the readers of the Journal
would like to know the origin and foundation Of
| the called chronicles If we take up book to
read, especially if we not acquainted with it,
we look at the preface and find the design and good
points of the work; with the chronicles, we de-
sire to know their good and bad qualities If they
have any. Since election last fall JEFF has been
"dOwn to the hee' not particularly the result
of the election, but things connected with
1t that he could not manage to suit his mind An
other thing that causes him to be sober, rather
someone else to be sober, is that JEFF betted heavy
on the election and has not paid the peanuts yet.
Jef has great love for pets. He has in his study
tame crow, and as business has been very
rushing with him this winter he has had nothing to
do but write chronicles and play with the crow. In
reading them often think what one of old said
''Silver and gold have none, but such as have
give thee"
We all aware that every cannot make
Josh Billings or a Mark Twain even if they can
spell is z and if by chance Je1 be searcher for
literary fame 1t would be well for him to read
"Homes amateur writer's" and profit by this
advice In a good quiet neighborhood the one
called "Babbletown," where every shows his
fellow man due respect it is not profitable thing
for any man because he can write an article and
cause it to be published in newspaper where per-
haps his fellowman can't write article, and get
redress for their grievance, nick his neigh
bors and publish lengthy articles about them just
because their opinion is different from his.
"We die but leave influence behind us that
survives. The sun sets beyond the western hill
but the track of light he leaves behind him guides
the pilgrim to his distant home. 1t is what
acaS that lives and acts after him."
If JEFF would heed this and think that a word to
the wise is sufficient it might possibly be of some
| benefit to him in days to come.
Yours with respect,

We cannot take that trade unless we have

THE AUGUSTA POST OFFICE.

There is said to be great deal of Indignation
among the Democratic leaders in Augusta, Me-,
because Col. Thomas Lambert has been ap-
pointed Superintendent of the public building
to be erected in that city. The magnates placed
a paper on file with secretary Manning asking
to be heard in the matter, but the first thing
they knew about the matter Col. Lambert had
been appointed. They are now puzzled to
know by what Influence it was brought about.
Col Lambert is lifelong Democrat, and a

Assistant Hay will Resign.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Mr. Hay, the
first assistant postmaster general, is expected
to arrive here tonight. He is no better
than when he made trip South to pick up
bis health. To attempt to assume the du-
ties of his position with the tremendous
pressure now upon his Office might perma-
nently incapacitate him. 1t is not at all
improbable that Mr.. Hay will re-
sign. He feels that he cannot
longer have the offices administered by a
Republican, as it has been awaiting his re-
covery. All along the postmaster general
has excused the delay in making postal ap-
pointments because of Mr.. Hays i'll health.
AS Mr.. Hay is no better, with no prospects
of immediate recovery, he is unwilling to
further be standing excuse for the della
tory policy Of the postofice department.
Hence he is ready to resign to give way to
robust Democrat, who will see to it that
the crossroads postoffices are put into the
hands of Democrats.
Anticipating the resignation the Pennsyl-
vania Democrats claim the Office and want
Congressman Mutchler of that state to
have it. Mutchler has special champion
in. Sam Randall, and is also backed up by
ex-Gov. Curtin. The change is looked for
in day or two, with the chances favoring
Mutchler's appointment. Mr.. Hay will be
given consulate in salubrious climate if
he desires to go abrord for his health.

Report of the EscapedaTeamsters
Special to- the Globe

SASKATCHEWAN LANDING, May19:-
Three of the teamsterS who escaped from
Poundmaker's Indians have arrixed, and
report as follows: Twenty-one OK teams
and nine horse teams left Millersonsthe l1th
and when within eight miles Of Battleford
were suddenly pounced upon by over one
hundred Indians, all mounted, who COM
pletely surrounded the men, and as the
latter were not numerous enough to stand
the fight the only thing left was to- cut their
horses loose and run off the trails
in between the different squads
and take the chance of escaping. The
thirty loads of supplies comprised seven
teen loads of provisions and thirteen loads
of oats. Fifteen more. loads are some
twenty miles north of Miller station and
fifteen at that station. making in all sixty
loads now at the mercy of the Indians,
Twenty men were taken prisoners By the
Indians, eighteen being OK drivers andstW0
horse teamsters. The names of those who
escaped are F. Turner, Malcolm McCIae,
William Sharpe Robert Bennett, W. Balk-
inson, Fred Hosmer, Condor, one of the
Fish brothers, and D. McCurdy. The
names of the captured are not all
known. Ten of them are: Dallas Vfojen,
James Holland, Frank Cox, Fish, Thomas
Hind, C. Sheriff. William Parks. Thomas
Carney, D. McEwing, Nick Brodie. This
affair will no doubt stop the teamsters from
going to the front until troops are sent in
advance to clear the road. The escaped
men were chased over ten miles and then
fired upon, but without effect. Mcconnell,
depot clerk at Miller station. is here, hav-
ing abandoned his post On account of
trouble. All depots along the track are
also being closed.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, May 19E The mayor
yesterday afternoon fixed Chesley Cham
bers' bond at SIS, 600, it being stated that
Davis, the express manager assaulted, was
likely to die. A report reached town yes
terday that William Chambers, brother of
Chesley, was dying Suddenly at his home
near Harrodsburg. The symptoms were
those of poison, and the report gave rise to
the theory that William was an accomplice
of Chesley and had attempted suicide. Facts
to settle this have not been Obtained. owing
to the distance from telegraph point.
Chesley late last night gave bond and has

special TO Cno GlODS.
BELLEFoNTAINE, Ohio, May 19.-Miss
Lida Cline, a handsome young lady twenty
two years old, from Farmland, Ind, who
has been on an extended visit to friends
here, died in a sudden and
mysterious manner Friday night.
Saturday noon her remains were shipped to
Adrian, O., by Undertaken John R. Ken
nedy, by order of her father, who was here
during her last hours, and laid at rest by
the side of her mother. The burial certif-
cate of the physician last called in stated
that the cause of her death was acute
peritonitis. This was true, but the
certificate did not state that the peritonitfs
was caused by an operation performed with
instruments to relieve the poor girl of the
evidences of her shame. Great blame isat-
tached to some one who treated the young
lady in a bungling manner. after her con-
dition was discovered, and a wellknowh
specialist is charged with the offense.
Certain it is that she was allowed to die
after the fruits of her sin had been born.
When told that she had to die She magnan-
imously took all the blame on herself, and
said that she alone was responsible for her
death. The case is creating a great sensa-
ton. Strenuous efforts were made to keep
the case out of the papers, and the remains
were shipped as soon as possible.

Cleveland Listens to Carlisle.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, May 19.-The sensation
mongers, who have been proclaiming that
Mr.. Randall had indoctrinated the entire
administration, from the president down,
with his high tariff ideas, are now quite
certain that the president has been inocu-
lated with big dose Of free trade virus,
because he made an exception to his rule
not to see visitors on Saturday, and accorded
Mr.. Carlisle an interview of an hour or
more.
The speaker was an administration Off
cial, who is himself an ardent revenue re-
former. Continuing, he said: ut is not
doubted by those who are informed, that
the views of the president as to the tariff
come closer to those of Mr.. Carlisle than
to those of Mr.. Randall, but whatever his
views upon. the subject may be, they were
acquired long before he ever saw either of
the gentlemen, and certainly have
not been modified or changed in
any respect by any intercourse he
has had with them. Mr.. Randall in
several instances has been credited with
securing appointments to Office in the in
terest of protection theories. In some Of
these instances he had nothing to do with
the appointments referred to, and in others
the question of tariff, high OF low, cut no
figure. 1t would be very strange if man
of Mr.. Randall's position should not have
some influence in the matter of appoint
ments, but he would be very glad to be
shown how any of the offices for which his
friends have been selected can be used for
the advancement of his tariff opinions"

Butchered by squaws.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, May 19.-No intelligence has
yet been received Of the arrival of Middle
toms men at Prince Albert, but it is sup
posed they are at that point long before
now. It is expected that they will proceed
from there to Battlefod by steamer if the
water is high. The journey could be made
in three or four days. With the united
force heavy blow could be struck at
Poundmaker. Big Bears attention will in
the meantime be taken up with Gen.
Suange's force. A letter from Edmonton
says that Mrs. Delany, one of the Frog
Lake captives, was outrageduntn she died,
and her body then cut to pieces by squaws.
Mrs. Gowan Locke. another captive, has
been taken possession Of by one Of the young
Indians as his wife. Nothing has been
heard Of the fate of the Mclean family, but
it is supposed to have been horrible one.

The Ocean Mail Service.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-It is probable
that the terms of the advertisement inviting
proposals for carrying the mails during the
next fiscal year in American steamships to
certain foreign countries will be settled
within few days. A representative of the
Pacific Mail Steamship company had
two interviews with the post
master general and the superintend-
ent of foreign mails to-day upon the
subject and several letters have been re-
ceived from the agents of the Brazil line
and of the Internal Navigation company
owning the line of steamers from Philadel-
phia to New Orleans, formerly known as
the American Steamship company. By the
terms of the appropriation SO cents may be
paid for each mile travelled by an American
mail steamer, but it this maximum were to
be paid to the Pacific Mail company, only
$50, 900 Of the $500, 600 appropriated would
be available for other lines. The postmaster
general has not yet decided what to do, but
it is the opinion of those who are best
aware Of the pressure to be exerted by the
steamship companies entitled under the law
to share of the appropriation that the adj
vertisement inviting proposals for carrying
the mail in American steamships will be so
worded as to limit the maximum compensa-
ton to about 90 cents mile travelled. This
will result in an equitable division of the ap-
,propriation among all existing American
lines, but will leave nothing for the es-
Establishment of new lines.
