Gen. Harrison's uneasinoss respecting the
purity of the ballot-box is 50 marked ms to
excite comment. 1t can hardly be that he
is afraid that his supporters will trade him
off for minor state and county officers.
However, in view of the fact that they
have shown no enthusiasm for him, it is not
strange that he should be suspicious.

For some time after the author of Called

be by her appears every few months. Now
that E. F. Roe is dead, perhaps his list OF

The Records OF Ex-Union Soldiers In Danger
of Total Destruction.
EpecfaI to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18-Unless something is
done very shortly To preserve the records of the
soldiers who served in the Union Army during
the late war, it will be but two three years
till almost every of record is obliterated at
the War Department Efforts have been made
in Congress during the past few years to have
the private records of the soldiers either printed
copied, that they can be preserved, but
there has been failure every time. 1t is strange,
but it is true, that these records have never
been made ont in shape to be preserved. They
are in memorand am, and sheet and letter form,
and have been run often, for the pur-
pose of answering inquiries from the Pension
Office. and the Office of the Surgeon-general,
and Congress, and other quarters desiring in
formation relative to pensions, and to answer
inquiries from the soldiers themselves, that a
very large proportion of them are in tatters
Some of the sheets torn into shreds
much larger than ones fingers, and 1T is with
great difficulty that some of the records can be
traced at all. An official at the War Depart
ment says that il the records not copied
within the next year two it will be impossible
to make them complete, already Of
them almost illegible.

BURLINGTON, Ia, Feb. 1s.-In jackson township,
near this city, Adam Writ, between sixty and seventy
years old, has been living with his William Writ,
but not in the most happy manner. Yesterday the
old man attacked his daughter-in-law with a
knife and cut her in terrible manner though she
managed to escape from him and make her way to
where her husband was at work, nearly a mile away.
The old man Writ attempted to murder his two little
granddaughters, aged six and four years, but they
eluoed him and hid in the bushes. Writ then set fire
to the house, in which were two more of his grand
children, aged four weeks and two years, and the
house and contents including the two children were
burned Writ then proceeded to the haynlow and
hanged himself. When Mrs. William Writ reached
her husband and appraised him of what had occurred
he carried the bleeding woman to house in the
neighborhood and hurried to his home only to find it
pile of ruins. The two eldest children were found
in the brush by neighbors who had been attracted by
the fire. The old man is believed to have been in
It is understood that old man Writ has a wife

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1S.-After many delays. the ar
gument for trial and for arrest of Judgment in
the of BENZ. E. Hopkins, late cashier of the
Fidelity Bank, was begun, at o'clock this afternoon
before Judges jackson and Sage of the United States
Court. The defendant not present. not being
we'll enough to leave his bed at the jail Mr.. Bate
man made the argument, basing his claim upon the
evidence wrongfully excluded; that the court
erred in its charge to the jury and that the verdict of
Messrs. Hooper and Burnett replied briefly to Mr.
Bateman's argument, whereupon Judge jackson, re-
ferrng to the written charge of Judge Sage, upheld
it correct. Judge Sage then spoke to the oral
part of the charge and the testimony and overruled
both motions. The Judge said that Mr.. Hopkins
would be sentenced he well enough to
appear in court.
Hopkins lies very ILL., in Jail, and says he does not
expect to leave the building alive. He is very bitter
in his illusions to Harper.

the Fidelity Bank was noed.

extended she should measure from tip of middle
finger to tip of middle finger just five feet five
inches. exactly her own height The length of
her hand should be just one tenth Of that, and
her feet just a seventh, and the diameter Of her
chest a fifth. From her thighs to tho ground
SHE should measure just what she measures
from the thighs to theetop of the head. The
knee should come exactly midway between the
thigh and heel. The distance from the elbow
to the middle finger should be tho same as the
distance from the elbow to the middle of the
chest From the top of the head to the chin
should be just the length of the foot, and there
should be the same distance between the chin
and the armpts.
A woman of this height should measure
twenty -four inches about the waist and thirty
four inches about the bust if measured from
under the arms, and forty-three if over them
The upper arm should measure thirteen inches
and the wrist six. The calf of the leg should
measure fourteen and half inches, the thigh
twenty-five and the ankle eight There is
other system of measurements which says that
the distance twice around the thumb should go
once around the wrist; twice around the wrist
once around the throat; twice around the throat
once around the wasit and SO on; but the first
is the measure used by scuptors, who have
