The experience Of Richard Humpf,
a german Railroader of Utica New
York, should serve as an effective
warning against going back upon
ones first love because of any tritiing
misfortune. Richard loved widow
in Germany, who had a daughter.
After he came to America he sent for
the widow to come and marry him.
She came, but meantime had suffered
from smallpox, and was badly pitted.
He refused to marry the widow, but
proposed to marry the daughter, to
which the latter would not consent.
He then went to Germany and mar
ried another girl, and came to live at
Utica. A few days ago he went crazy
murdered his wife and child, burned
their bodies, and cut his own throat,
from the effects of which he died.
Richard showed a lack of Judgment
all the way through. In the first
place, he ought not to have gone back
upon the widow. In the next place,
when he began the killing, he ought
to have cut his own throat first. But
all this bungling comes as conse-
quence of wrongdoing, and this horri-
BILE work all resulted from his un-
faithfulness. Never go back on the
widow.
1t matters not how much a Demo-
cratic politician-especially of the
Southern Rebel class-attempts to
hide his political prejudices and ha-
treds, they will crop out in spite of
himself, and beneath the paint and
gliding of. laudable profession, the
real character will stand forth as
plainly as the MONDAY light. The
new administration started off with
several bitter Rebels in tie Cabinet,
yet we were told that there was to be
an honest, upright, loyal administra-
tion. OF all the Rebels in this Rebel
Cabinet, Bayard, Secretary of State,
has been regarded as the one least
likely to give way to prejudice. and
bring his high Office into contempt.
Yet an occasion presented itself
which upset the "South'n Gem men"
completely. Hon. George w. Will
liams Is colored man, appointed aud
confirmed Minister to Hayti. The
President seemed we'll pleased with
the appointment. but, few days ago
the Minister made application to
draw a portion of salary due him.
when the Secretary of State coolly
informed him that there were charges
preferred against him, and that he
could get his money if he would
promise to resign his position. Your
average Democrat can never work
himself up to the point of respecting
free "nigger." As slaves the color
ed children of the South were the
playmates of tie white Democratic
children, the colored women frequent
ly nursed the white babies, yet those
same white "aristocrats" arriving at
mans and woman's estate. cannot

inconsistencies, is the human charac-

trying to find something upon which
to base hope that after all, the brave
old General may not be in as serious
condition as he was thought to be.
The learned Doctors maintain that
the soreness is the effects of cancer.
They might, possibly, be mistaken.
Stranger things have happened. 1t will
be remembered that the learned Doc
tors found the direction of the bullet in
Garfeld's body, inserted tube in the
channel, and secured, and gouged, and
washed-until the President died,
when they cut him open to discover
the location Of the ball, in the inter-
est Of Medical Science. They found |

carvings. They found
where the ball had been, in the body,
and the direction was exactly opposite
the one in which they had been goug-
ing. Then it suddenly occurred to
the world that, had these learned
Doctors and all of their kind, not
been within hundred miles of Gar
field, he would possibly be living to-
day. Too many of these learned men
Of Science are like the old colored
physician in Virginia who was called
in, in an emergency, to attend very

and much feeling of the pulse, and
frequent consultations of an old "tur-
nip" watch, he solemnly pronounced
his diagnosis in these words: DE

physicians could give?
