THE medical profession should pray
To be delivered from sits friends if Drs.
Brown-Sequard and Hammond can be
called such. The pretended discovery
of a new elixir of life and regeneration
of old age, to which they have given the
sanction of their names, is the most pre-
posterous piece of quackery ever pro-
mulgated. If it came from plantation
negro it would be called voodoOism.
Coming with the quasi Endorsement of
learned men, it is an insult to the intel
ligence of the age and calculated to bring
medical science into cOntempt.

SENATOR INGALLS,, writing to friend
who criticised his article in the Forum,
on prohibition, says: "To tell the truth,
do not think much of it myself; but it
is the best could do under the circum-
stances. / have received a satisfactory
check from the editor of the Forum for
the same. who wants me to write an
article on the race problem for the Sep
TENDER number" Probably the salts
factory check helped to reconcile the
author with his article.

THE INDIANA CATILINES,

1t would be well for Indianians whose
memories do not go back to the days of
the war to read that part of the life of
Lincoln, in the August Century, which
relates to the Knights of the Golden
Circle. Democratic papers seldom refer
to this episode in their party's history,
and then only to befog the truth and
convey the impression to the ignorant
that many of the charges are campaign
lies In this history of Lincoln all the
statements are verified by official
records, and naught is set down in mall
ice. But brief space is given to the or
ganization and its dOings, but the
historical fact is recorded that
in the Office of Daniel w.
Voorhees,, at Terre Haute, large
numbers of the ritual of the order were
discovered. Enough is told, too, to
show the infamous purpose of the
knights, and that it was only lack of
courage that led to the failure of their
programme of murder and rapine.
Speaking of Lincoln's charitable doubt
that 100000 men in Indiana were trait
ors to their country, the historians say:
"They were sufficiently disloyal to take
all manner of oaths against the govern
ment; to be ready in their secret cOun
ellis to declare they were ready to shed
the last drop of their blood to abolish it,
and to express their ardent sympathies
with its enemies and their detestatiOn
of its officers and supporters" The
further comment that "these rural
Catilines were never quite ready to risk
their own skins for their so-called prin-
ciples," though well put, does not lessen
their disloyalty. They were willing to
betray their government into the hands
of the rebels, but were too cOwardly to
do so when the critical moment came. 1t
is an unpleasant chapter in the annals OF
Indiana, but facts are facts.

A Biu Bold Robber.

GALLATIN, Mo-, April 22.-One
of the boldest rohberles ever perpe'
trated by a single robber in Mis-
souri,, occurred at PattOnsburg, on
the Wabash road Friday night,
and has just leaked out. About 9
o'clock last Friday night one mask
cd burglar entered the station at
Pattonsburg. He covered the
agent, the only person in the sta.
ton, with a pistol, and demanded
the keys, which he received. He
then made the agent occupy a
given position and proceeded to
plumber the safe. lie cleaned 1t
out OF every thing valuable, secur.
ing money estimated at from $4,000
to 10000. Among the booty was
one express package of $4,000 a
letter addressed to the Pattonsburg
bank, containing 800, aud num-
Der of express packages. He also
took all express, freight and ticket
funds aud robbed the agent of bis
own money and yaluables. The
rObber then backed out OF the
station and mounted his horse aud
rode away. The agent on Satur-
day notified Superintendent MCGEE
OF the Wabash and Western. Mr..
MCGEE communicated with detec'
tives in st LOUIS, aud search tor
the rObber was started which has
been without success.

The Mountain Fires.

LYNoHBURG, VA, April 2l.-
The mountain fires in different por
tions of this State within the last
two weeks have been very disss
trous in their results. In Buck
ingham, Bedford, Prtrick, Henry,
and a portion Of Franklin counties
the destruction Of property and
stock has been very great, and IL
some places have rendered the
people homeless and helpless. The
destruction of fencing has been
widespread f; barns aud Outhouses
have been swept away, and in some
places residences and mills and
everything in them. In Patrick
and Henry the damage has been
so great that Judge Lybrook aud
other prominent citizens have been
compelled to issue q circular call
ing for public assistance for the
sufferers.
In some places, as in Bedford,
the fires have embraced In their
rsvages as much as eight miles
square, driving hundreds OF people
from their homes, and killing any
number of fine cattle and sheep
Nearly all of these fires were the
result of careless fishing and hunt
ing parties, and in only a few cases
has there been any insurance.

STOLE AND BURNED THE BAL
LOT BOX.
SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES IN THE
ARKANSAS ELECTION CASES.

ARKANSAS ELECTION CASES.
LITTLE ROCK, ARK, April 3D.
Warren Taylor, Of MOrrellton Ark,
gave some very important testi-
mony before the grand jury yester
day con cerDlng the stealing OF bal
lot boxes in Conway county at the
election last fall.
He said that on the night of the
ballot box robbery, November g,
he and Charles Reid, a young law
,er of Morrellton; George Bently,
city marshal Of the same place, and
seventeen others went from Nor
reIItOn to Plummerville. The crowd
halted outside of the town, aud five
OF them went in, as they said, to
reeonnoitre. In a short time they
returned, saying all was quiet, aud
the crowd returned. When about
half way home 1t became generally
known in the crowd that one OF the
party had a ballot box.
Arriving at MorrelitOn, the box
was taken into the back rooms OF
Wells store, and its contents
burned.
Charles Reid also testified before
the grand jury confirming a part OF
Taylor's statement, but denying
that be had any hand in the steal
ing OF the ballot box or that he
knew it was stolen until the next
day.
The statement OF Reid and Tay-
lor is getting nearer the Plummer-
VILE murder than anything yet, so
far as the investigation has gone,
and specific facts are expected TO
be made known that will perhaps
develOpe into something sensa-
tional.
