hand Of woman who had been deaA
twenty yeara The story inoonneotiea
e . most remarkable one. In 1870
Ronald Sesforgh, IN Englishman en-
gaged in the lumber business, lost his
mother, Mrs. Annie Eeaforth. Thislaay
On her death-bed made herssn promise
tolay her remains beside those Of her
husband. who h buried IN England,
near Hull. For VARIOUS reasons Mr.. Sea-
forth has mover been able to keep this
promise until tho last spring, whom,
early in May, hehad the body exhumsd,
proposing to take 1t to England.
Il was noticed that the oolin was ex-
traopdinarily heavy, and TO ascertain
thesoauss It was opened, when II was
found that the body had .eompletely
turned to stone. Mrs. Seafsrth, whose
death took place when abe was barely
forty, was rarely beautiful woman,
with hands particularly symmetrical
and small. and 1t is,gaid that her petr4-
fed form seemed on exquisite statue
carved IN gray marble. Pending his sail
ing with it, the body was LETT by Mr..
Seafarth In the charge Of Lawson, an
undertaken. When Mr.. Seaforth called
for the remains he found that the right
hand had been broken of at the wrist
and was gone.
He accused Lawson Of tho theft. and,
procuring q, search warrant, found the
hand In the latter's private desk. Tho
case has attracted great deal OF at
tenticn, as 1t is thought by lawyers to
be unique. Lawson will plead guilty to
tho charge. He says that he wanted the
hand as q curiosity and article Of vertu,
and did not steal it for the ring of gold
and pearls on the forefnger.

How Producer and Consumer Farej Un-
der Democratic Free Trade.
We hive already given some account
of the political era preceding and inn
mediately following the election of Gen.
William Henry Harrison to the presi.
deDcy in 1870, and drawn the parallel
with our own. Then, as now. 4 hue
and cry had been raised against the pro-
tective system, and the "robber tariff"
by the Democratic party, led on by the
Shareholders of the south. Bowling to
the peremptory demand, the Demo-
cratic congress enacted law providing
for a gradual reduction of the pro-
tective duties by certain percentage
each year, until no tariff on the list
should exceed 20 per cent.-much the
sort of move as the Democrats, led by
the same slaveholding and rebel south,
are again demanding to be made, in
their crusade for the destruction of the
great manufacturing industries of the
north. The result was so disastrous
that it resulted in political revolution,
which, in 1s40, carried Harrison into
the presidential chair, and finally
brought about, late in lS42, tho enact
ment of new tariff law, protective in
character. This period, then, may be

A Winning STATE Ticket,

There is now no reasonable doubt Of
the success Of the Republican stats
ticket.
The nominations made at Cleveland
were peculiarly fortunate for the party.
Dan. Ryan has proved an ideal candi-
date for secretary of state. All ole
ments within the Republican organiza-
tion have rallied around him. Dissen-
sion has ceased and factionalism has
disappeaued. As soon a. Mr.. Ryan was
put at the head Of the state ticket the
first requisite for Republican success
harmony = was secured. But that
harmony has not been Of the indiffer-
ent, qciescent kind. Ryan's candidacy
has been an active, inspiring force. It
has been rare combination of energy
paign has had high tone-aggressive
but free from personalities. Ryans
speeches, like his official record, appeal
to the business sense Of the people. He
demonstrates, as plainly as that two
and two make four, that the Ohio DEM
ocracy are absolutely incapable of ad-
ministering the affairs of government,
municipal or state, and are utterly un.
worthy of being intrusted with the leg
islative power.
Political prophecies are as often g
not vain and improbable; but we do
not think we are risking much in claim
ing now that the Republican state
ticket will be elected, and that, too, by
a handsome plurality. The personnel
of the ticket is above criticism. I've
high legal character and judicial dignity
of Thaddeus A. Minshall, candidate for
the supreme bench, and the push and
enterprise personified in Frank j. Nc
Colloch. the candidate for member Of
the board of public works, are attributes
that make Republicans proud of their
state ticket No apology. no defense.

one Of the three gentlemen nominated

men, and they win win . olean-cut

was about eighty yards wide. The
wounded duck fell into Jungle on the
side and the dog went after,
but could not find it. The dog had only
left the further bank on his return, when
suddenly the snout of an alligator rose
above the water. The saurian gave
chase, while the. gentlemen called the
dog.
"The animal seemed to realize his
peril and yelped while the alligator
forged ahead. The cries of the party
were continuous, and the dog swan his
best. The alligator did not dip one mo-
ment, but kept his eyes fastened upon
the form of the dog. Not an inch seemed
to be gained or lost by either. The race
was matchless. The alligator attempted
occasional spurts, making the water
rush by in Q snowy foam, and the dog,
evidently equal to the emergency, would
lay his ears back and speed along with
astonishing swiftness.

Mr.. Mills Dilemma.

It is hard to bs truthful and consist
ent and be a Democrat, particularly .
Democrat of the regular thorough
going free trade sort. The melancholy
whine which the free trader seems to
feel in duty bound to maintain in all
his public utterances does not comport
with the facts which men see around
them or the buoysnt spirit of the age.
That distinguished free trade states
man, Hon. Roger Q. Mills. Of Texas,
probably realizes this more wildly than
ever, since the truth OF it in his own
case has been brought so clearly before
his fellow-citizens in the northwest.
Mr.. Mills was interviewed at Milwaukee
one day, and the next day made one Of
his regular calamity" speeches In
Lacrosse. The Lacrosse Republican
and Leader thus represents in parallel
columns what Mr.. Mills said on the two
occasions only q few hours apart:
