Greenbackers Bob Up Again.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ll.-George o.
Jones, the chairman of the National
Greenback Committee, has issued a
call to national Greenbackers, in the
course of which he says:
"On March 8, 1884, the Supreme
Court of the United States decided
that Congress. has the sovereign and
and constitutional power to emit
bills of credit; provide currency for
the whole people, and to make the
notes of the government (greenbacks)
legal tender March 8, 1890, viii
be the sixth anniversary of that de-
cision, at which time all national
Greenbackers are requested to meet
in their respective localities and or.
ganize themselves into national
Greenback clubs, preparatory to con-
gressional, State and national organi-
cations next fall. Such gatherings
will entail but little, if any, expense.
1t is hoped that all who endorse ma
tional. Greenback principles will unite
in forming such clubs. The future
welfarean happiness,or poverty and
distress, of all American wealth-pro
ducers lies with themselves. There
fore, all are alike interested in this

Butchered Himself With a Razor.

PITTsBURa, Feb. ia special to
the Times from Scottdale, Pa, says :
Hubert Rosgen, German, of Beav-
er Falls, Pa, committed suicide here
last night. By means of a razor he
butchered himself in horrible man
ner. He cut a deep cash in his
throat, two in each arm and one in
each leg. He is believed to have
been slightly demented, but his let
tiers to the public are well worded
and demonstrated that he was an
educated man. He came here about
a week ago and secured work in the
Kenney foundry. He is believed to
be Socialist, as in one of his letters
addressed to the public he says his
heart is full of liberty, and rather
than be slave for either his friends
or enemies he would die. He leaves
a widow and three children who re-
sides at Beaver Falls.

ExcursInn to the National Capital.

The Baltimore and OHIO Railroad
Company announces a second popu-
lar excursion to Washington on
Thursd ay, February goth.
Washington is always attractive
at this time of the year; Congress
will be in session and the galleries of
both Houses, as well as all other pub
lie buildings, will be open to visitors,
and the remarkably fine weather we
are now having it is safe to presume
will continue, making sightseeing at
the Capital all the more enjoyable.
The tickets will be good ten days,
allowing ample time for visiting

origin, traceable to the vast over
flows of Chinese rivers, could be SUBJ
stantiated, would it not be a blessing
if some counteracting influence was
discovered.
But how full of theorizing is
science, and how easily are these
same opinions often Inverted by I'M
expected developments, refuting ma
ny high-hown propositions with in
disputable evidence. A negro preach
er once remarked, in his discourse
on mans origin: "God made man
out oh clay, and set him up agin de
palm fence to dry" An argumen-
tative nearer, who did not in the
least relish being thought gullible,
stood up and yociferously asked ::
"Whah did he git de palm fence 2"
Said the preacher, "Shet up, niggah,
you'd upset any system of filoso-
fy." And so it is ever-too many
new notions will not bear a probing
inquiry.
Do you realize what principles Of
physical science is demonstrated in
our remarkable winter? The peep
ing dandelion, yellow jasmine, and
full leaved shrubbery, with expand
ing bud of flower opening as if half
afraid to show all its face, for fear it
had awaked too soon. Gods ways
are best, and what have we to do
with it? We say we submit, when
poor worms as we are, we only live
by infinite mercy and love. One of
the easiest things is to become so in
fated with our personal consequence
as to forget we are only the creature
and not the creator, and that the adj
ventitious circumstances often CIV
ing us place and power, may soon
vanish, leaving us conspicuously en-
throned as the veriest ass, instead
of, as we thought, distinguished
parsonage, which the world would
sadly miss, and really could not do
without. SIC transit gloria naundi.
Mrs. Ridgway's death leaves va
cancy in her home and community
which will not soon be filled. 1t is
a worthy eulogism "She hath done
what she could" To live so that the
world is brighter and better and hap
pier because we have lived in it, is
fulfilling one part of our destiny at
least. May such immortelles crown
our lives. B.

ROANOKE, VA, Feb. 1l.--Last
night as Mr.. F. Ii. S. Morrison. a
prominent young attorney of this
city, was going from his room to the
postoffice, he heard cries of distress
and call for help, and discovered a
man leaning against post on a
vacant lot, begging him to come to
HIM. AS Mr.. Morrison approached,
the man made vicious lunge at his
throat with knife and succeeded in
cutting him in the shoulder and over
the heart, and then ran away. Mr..
Morrison, Saturday night, received
a note warning him not to appear
before the city council as legal adj
wiser of the mayor on penalty OF
having his throat cut. To-day John
Trout was arrested for the crime,
having, it is alleged, confessed it to
one or more parties while drunk.

A Cartridge Sent TO Senator ingalls,.

WASHINGTON. Feb. lion Satur-
day last Senator Ingalls, mail con-
tanned a small pink wrapped box four
inches wide and little more than an
inch thick. On being opened the
box was found to contain one of the
Union Metallic Cartridge Co. Star
cartridges, with the following in
scription in black ink: ELECTION
pills for Old Cuff or for Ingalls,, from
jackson, Miss. Come to see us, Old
Nutgalls.'
Senator Ingalls, was not alarmed at
the contents of his mail, but both he
and his secretary thought it prudent
to lay the cartridge carefully away,
as there was possibility that it
might be more destructive than an
ordinary cartridge. There was a
slight fear that the powder and shot
might have been extracted from the
shell and replaced with some power
full explosive. The Senator, howev-
err, was of opinion that it was plain
buckshot cartridge, and reporter
subsequently ascertained this to be o
fact by prying open the shell, reveal
ing nine large buckshot and charge
of powder. Even this, it was thought,
was not particularly pleasant pres
ent, and the joke may turn out to be
a sorry one for the perpetrator, as it
is violation of the postal laws to
send explosives through the mails.
