SUNSET Cox is giving the Occidental
States magnificent taste of Oriental
eloquence. Out in Washington Ter
ritory he boldly avowed that Bismarck
Gin Dakota, not in Berlin) beat Bag
dad; that Huron knocked out Jerusa-
lem, and that the falls Of Spokane were
a huckleberry higher than any glazier
persimmons in Switzerland. That is
spoken like true patriot, and if Mr..
Cox is not persuaded to remain in one
of the new States and get elected Sen
ator it will not be for the want of urg-
ing.

A PLUMBAGo mine has been discov-
cred in Somerville, twelve miles west
of Augusta, Me. Specimens have been
analysed and are pronounced almost
pure black-lead. The mine was dis
covered accidentally. The road ran
over a portion of the deposit and the
dirt would not remain in place. Dig
ging down, the mineral was found. A
mile square of land has been leased,
and the mine is to be opened at once.

A RUTLAND paper credits Vermont
with having the smallest town in the
United States. cit is Baltimore,
perched on the side of Hawks Noun
tain, and composed mostly of rocks
and knolls. Years ago it was part OF
Cavendish, situated on the other
side OF the mountain, but voters had
to go fifteen miles to cast their ballots.
SO a petition was circulated and the
town of Baltimore was set off. The
population in 1880 was seventy-six.
and there We're not enough voters to
fill the town offices. The voting list
numbers scarcely dozen, and there
are twenty offices to fill.

sUBTERRANEAN chamber has been
discovered under house on the hill
side at Naples. Along the center runs
mosaic pavement, and on each side
there is a double row of sepulchers
hewn in the rock, the fronts of which
are succeed and painted and decorated
with terra Gotta and marble reliefs
Within the tombs were perfect skele
tons, vases, and other objects, the an.
tique lamps being in such good condi
ton that when the new find was in
spected by party of German archie
ologists, the workmen made use o,
them to light up the vaults. The many
well-preserved inscriptions are chiefly
in Greek, with some Latin, and prove
that the epoch of these tombs was
about 1000 B. G. Other tombs in
second chamber have not yet been
excavated. Similar catacombs have
heretofore been found in this locality,
FRANCES ISABELLA STELLARD. of the
Isle of Wight, is about to be released,
after an imprisonment of twelve wears,
for the murder of her child. One bit.
ter night she took it away from the
care of her own mother, in order. as
she said, to contide it to some of its
fathers relatives. Some time afterward
it's body was found hidden in a culvert.
and the persons to whom it was ia
have been brought knew nothing of
the mothers intention. Her account
was that she covered the cllild's face
with a piece Of flannel to protect it
from the cold night air, and so mad
vertently smothered il. In state of
horror, she hid the body The case
was very obscure, and those who knew
her best We're convinced of her inno-
cence of any wiliful crime. This feel
ing found such expression that the
death sentence was COMMITTED to penal
servitude for life. Recently a little
account of the case was published I'M
der the title of "Only Womap's
Life Then the editor of the Isle of
wight cypress took the matter up,
and got petition very inAuentially
signed, asking for the convicts release.
She is now free. and was welcomed
back in her own district.

HAUNTED houses in China must be
desirable places of residence. The
Tieatsin Shihpao reports that not
long ago man named Yang moved
into q haunted house which nobody
dared live in, he being ignorant Of its
character. During the first two weeks
ghost, terrible in appearance, made
himself visible in the night. Yang,
being young man of bravery AMI hav-
ing learned the professional why's of
tanning devils, did not care for it One
night, when he saw the spirit pnusu-
ally rampant, and he undertook to
drive it out, the devil suddenly became
ray Of red light and entered into the
ground. Yang was greatly surprised
at this, and digging into the ground,
found more than ten thousand taels of
silver in the place where the spirit had
entered.

JOHN C. COLLINS, who formerly re-
sided in Cincinnati, but whose home is
now in Kansas City, and who recently
arrived in New York, has not enjoyed
nights rest in seventeen years. He
is religious in feeling, and says that
the only thing which will produce tenn
porary relief is the reading of the
Lords prayer. At first he tried count
ing as an inducemcnt to sleep, but it
proved total failure, as did every eff
fort except the prayer. though its in.
fuence is of brief duration. For two
and one-half years he has been unable
to work at anything. His farm and
stock gave him support for several
years, but reverses in loss of crops and
cattle and the treachery of friends de.
spoiled him of all property except some
in Kansas CITY.

GEORGIA has produced another Lulu
Hurst, OF magnetic fame, in the person
of Mrs. Annie Abbott, of Nlilledgeville,
who can lift great weights by simply
putting her hands ON them. She has
lifted five heavy men piled up on a
chair at time by placing her hand on
the ears OF one of them. She says the
feats never tire her, but just before a
trial she feels nervous and weary. She
sleeps we'll after throwing strong peo-
pie about. She must stand on wood
and operate with wooden chairs and
sticks. When in contact with carpets
and iron she can do nothing. Recently,
when exhibiting in the South, some
body connected wire with her body
and grounded it, and Immediately she
was powerless. She is a small, deli
cate woman, very quiet and modest.

rs TT JUSTICE, OR FRAUDf


u,Lo decision of certain canyaSserS in Mon
tara gives the Republicans majority in the
legislature, and is instantly denounced by
Democrats as "steal" That is entirely III
accordance with custom. When million CIT
izens in Southern States are Systematically de-
nrived of their constitutional rights for the
benefit of Democrats, that is cminently prop
or But when the wrong is corrected in one
State or district, that is Republican fraud. 1t
does not appear that Eastern Democratic Jour
nails have any information whatever respecting
the grounds of the decision in Montana, which
warrants their assertions. Certainly none has
heen published to justify the accusation that
tbe canvassers have been guilty of wrong
On the other hand, the facts thus far reported
tend to create presumption that the votes in
some precincts were illegal and fraudulent, and
that the action of canvassers is an endeayor to
restore to the legal voters rights of which they
have been robbed
1t was telegraphed before the election that
extensive frauds in certain districts had been
contemplated. Registration including many
bundled fraudulent names was detected, and
the Democrats were wild with excitement be-
cause they feared they would be deprived OF
the bogus votes. The grounds for apprehen-
sion of fraud appeared so clear to prominent
Republicans that the atfidavits required by law
were made, and the appointment of Deputy
United States MarShals was secured. This
also caused great Democratic excitement, ac-
colding to dispatches in Eastern Democratic
paperS. But what reason for excitement had
they, if no wrongdong was medtated? Then
came the returns, showing Republican gains
and victories in nearly all parts of the new
State, but suspicously large Democratic gains
in a few localities, where wrOngdOing had been
feared. 1t would be strange indeed, if, under
so much smoke, there was no fire.
The honest course is not to prejudge the case
one way or the other There appears a pre-
sumption that frauds were attempted by Demo
Gratis with success in some localities, but that
is not sufficient reason for assuming that the
canvassers have done only what is right. Still
less is there reason for assuming that they have
violated law. The courts of the new State
will decide the questions at issue, and if the
evidence in support Of Republican claims is
"utterlv worthleSSo rs Democrats insist, un-
ouestionably the decision will be in accordance
with the facts But until the courts have de-
cided, it is sheer impudence to assert that the
Republican canyasSers have engaged in an at
tempt to steal the Legislature. There is at
least as much reason for assuming that they
have only in part corrected the wrong per
petrated by Democrats, and restored part OF
the rights which Democrats had stolen.
