A Young Ludy's Encounter with Burglar

A Young Lady's Encounter with a BURGLAR
MoNoNdAHELA Cry, July 9.-An ut
tempt was made to gain an entrance to
the residence OF Mr.. r. G. McIlvaine,
Somerset township, yesterday morning,
but the burglars were scared away be-
fore thefr designs were accomplished.
Mr.. McIlvaine is the executor Of an es-
tate which, according to notice given
by him, he desired to have closed up on
Saturday. 1t is supposed that an i'm
preston prevailed that he would have
considerable money in the house. Be:
tween IL and 3 o'clock n man attempted
to enter second story window, which
WINS open, by means Of a ladder. Miss
Gertie, Mr.. McIlvaine's daughter, was
awakened by the noise, and saw the
marauder crawling through the window.
Quick MS flash she struck him in the
face, and then screamed for help. The
burglar, however, made good his escape,
carrying the ladder with him. This is
the second attempt made to burglarize
Mr.. McIlvaine's house, and he now pro-
poses TO be ready for the next caller.

He WANTS A WIFE.
An Illinois Farmer Asks the Assistance of
Governor Og1esby.

Governor ORlesDy.
SrRIxarrELD, ILL, July 0.-When
Governor Oglesby opened his mail this
morning he came across letter which
sent IN amused and benevolent smile
across his face.
1t came from resident in one OF the
furnishing towns in the western part Of
the State, and informed the Governor
that the writer is widower with three
lovely children on his hands, and that
he is sorely in need OF wife to take care
OF them and OF himself.
He says that some time ago he wrote
to a gentleman in charge OF one OF the
State institutions, asking his assistance
in getting wife, but has received no re-
ply, and now he CONTEST the Governor
10 find one for him. He is 81 years old,
5 feet ! inches tall, weighs 1875, has black
hair, gray eyes and good health. Not
the least among the personal virtues
which he ascribes to himself are en-
braCed in the following words: 81 am
member Of the Baptist Church and
Temperance society, and have always
voted the Republican ticket. | voted
for you for Governor. Hurrah for Har-
rison and Mortonw
The writer authorizes the Governor to
say that he has no bad habits, except
that he chews little tobacco. Person
ally the Governor does not regard this
rs very serious fault in man. The
letter does not indicate whether the
Governor is to advertise for sealed pro-
posels or whether he is to proceed by
personal application and canvass, but he
is authorized to say that he will furnish
photograph OF his client whenever it
is called for. He remarked that this
matrimonial agency might be very trou-
blesome, but he was unable to see how
1t could be more troublesome than some
OF the pardon cases he had to deal with.

A Double Headed Politician.

Mr.. John Sherman has thought 1t neces-
sary to write to a Mr.. Willis, of Tennes.
see, q letter attempting a concordance be-
tween the dose Of tahy he gave the south
in n speech at Nashville last year, and the
dose of wormwood he gave the south soon
afterward In n speech before the Re-
publicans OF the Illinois legislature. OF
course, the letter is written for publica-
ton, and not a5 n guarantee OF good
faith. Mr.. Sherman wants It understood
that he repeats "with entire sincerity"
every word Of his Nashville speech and OF
hls Springfield speech. The mere fact
that it Is impossible TO reconcile the scnti-
mcntS Of the two speeches doesn't bother
him in the least. He has speeches for all
ATTITUDES md lonCitudcs, and they are
made with entire duplicity every time.
He Is for or against anything according
to his estimate OF the votes in It. This
estimate varies with time, place and cir
cupstanccs, and So Mr.. Sherman often
incurs the rcproach ot inconsistency and
insincerity.
But In ono resrcct he has never been
inconsistent. John Sherman has kept his
eye peeled for John Shcrmnn's interests
all the time. His assumed principles and
his words vary. He never varies. lie is
always cold, unsympathctic, unintercstcd,
and'sincore in his one purpose.
lie would like TO get both north and
south, Il will probably succeed In get
ting neither. 1t is proper, however, that
lie should abuse the south. He helped do
it q wrong in 1876 which ought to make
him late 1t, in 50 far as he is capable Of
any hot paSsion.-Ncw York Sun.

Sherman Trlea to ExplnIn.

Senator Sherman Is in trouble over his
Nashville and Springfield speeches. A
Nashville admirer has written him n let
ter, imploring him to explain that he did
not mean ut Springfield exactly the oppo.
site OF what he said at Nashville. This
the senator undertakes to do In q letter,
in which he praises the honesty and cour-
age OF tho Confederates, while denounc-
ing tho Democracy OF the north.
Senator Sherman's explanation does not
explain. Every intelligent man knows
that the Nashville speech vas made to
increase his popularity in the south, while
his Springfield uttcrance was intended to
please the Bourbon irreconcilables, who
insist on fighting the war till the crack Of
doom. If there had been nc newspapers
or telcgraphs TO spread the two speeches
and invite every reader to mike compar
isons-in short, If this were not the Nine
tceath century-Mr. Sherman would not
have been called upon to explain the un-
cxplainable and make q mess Of il.
The senator from Ohio Is pretty old to
learn anything new, but he should be able
to comprehend that the methods OF Mr..
Facing-both-ways ann be successfully
employed in this age Of newspapers and
newspaper readers. a public man cannot
say one thing In Tennessee and exactly
the opposite In Illinois without being
found out .-Philadelpl'n Times.

mode of working the highways is
inefficient; 1st becausethe requisite
time and labori il not given, and End
because those who superintend the
work are often deficient in judge
ment and skill in such matters.
We need to nave method, and tho.
rough work. This will require diff
ferent laborers from those who now
throw brush into the highways.
By taxation, we could accomplish
wonderful results. but our taxes are
SO high now, that q road tax would
indeed break the camel's back. We
cannot see why the convict plan,
suggested three weeks ago, is not
entirely practicable. Laurens
County has sent to the Penitentiary
convicts whose aggregate sentence
equal nearly % years in the past
twelve months. Why should Lau-
rens County not have from the
penitentiary, % convicts for ! year
to equal this amount, or A for 6
months, or SO for 3 months.

lar to various farmers clubs throu-

Tho Malays are no important factor in

born and raised there, they are never al

Tho Democratic ADVANTAGE.

The efforts Of tic Republicans politicians
to show that the Democratic party Is en-.
DarrasScd and ION the rum are not likely
to be crowned with success. They are in
tended mainly to conceal the fact that tho
Republicans themselves arc In n state OF
dis~uV,;anization and on the verge of u panic.
The failure of the Florence letter to settle
Mr.. Blainc's position in the coming can.
vuss, the lukcwarmncss with which Mr..
Sherman's name has been received, and
the scattering search for a presidential
candidate among the lesser lights Of the
political armament, show that the Itepub-
Leans are much worse off than the Demo

Unc,o Jerry Rush of Wisconsin.

The western candidates for the Repub-
lican nomination are sufficiently numer-
Gus, but 1t docs not ppear that more
than one or two Of them have much
strength.
1t may DO that Mr.. Blaiuc's friends will
prefer that he should not stand aside,
even voluntarily, to make room for on
other Republican statesman. 1t may be
that they will decide, in case the Demo
cratic wrestling with the surplus problem
should reduce the surplus and not tho
Democratic party, that a vigorous and
picturesque personality, u~nhackneyed and
unconventional, would more successfully
appeal to popular favor than any Of the
better known figures.
In that case, jeremiah Rusk, Of Wis
consin, might be the man. He appears to
awe at least the Jacksonian characteristic
OF doing his duty promptly as he sees it.
He is blufT, vigorous in language and
action, uuspoiled by schools, a diamond
in the rough. 1t would be easy to write
an attractive campaign life Of such O man.
Jerry, the foe Of the Anarchists, hearty
old Uncle Jerry, the peoples Jerry, could
be set out in SNOWY colors. Friends Of
order and property would be asked to
rally around him. Jerry certainly would
be great fun.
Put on with him for the intellectual
part Of tho ticket q man like Phelps, OF
New Jersey, and you would nave a SNOWY
ticket. Mr.. Phelps would do finance and
the tariff, while Governor Rusk did tho
rising from poverty to afluence by his IN.
aided efforts, and showed that he was
unplcdgcd and unterrined.
