Senator Ingalls, Invectivo.

Senator Ingalls, made a speech at
Pittsburs on Saturday last in vndcaton
of the purity Of Senator Quay and in sup
port of Quay's candidate for the govern
orship. Mr.. Delamater. The method
he took to absolYe his friend and SEN
atorial associate, Quay, from the asper-
sions of Congressman Kennedy. who
denounced him as criminal, and COM
pared him to Judas Iscariot, was to de-
luce the democrats with pictureQue in
vective. According to Mr.. ingalls, "the
democratic party is the political dump
ine-cround of politics in the nine
teenth century" Every excluded
heresy, every abandoned hercsy, IS the
heritage of the Democratic party" 1T
has never done specific act. nor ever pro-
posed to do one for the welfare or adj
vancement either of the moral. iAtel-
lectual or physical welfare OF the coun-
try.'' 1t Ras attempted by revolution
arv measures to defeat the beneiclent
statutes that have been enacted by the
great republican party" 1T is an az
Sregation of the ignorance, the lmbeci!l-
tv apd disloyalty Of this country" 1t
has neither the conscience nor the cour-
ace of ofcorvictions." Il think the worst
republican that ever lived is better by lar
than the best Democrat thatcver lived. !"
Finally he compared the Democratic par
tv to Judas Iscoriot, who betrayed his
Master. and to Peter, who denied Him:
and the republican party to the Christi
anity which survived the treacherY OF
the one and the denial ofthe other.

The speaker went on to say how much
of the wealth and civilization OF the
South was due to the labor Of the COL
ored man. lie reerred TO the loyalty
OF the colorcti race to the Southern pee
pie throughout the war, and concluded
that branch OF his subject by saying: :

Don,t Like His Speech,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE meet
ing of the House Judiciary committee
to-day called to consider the resolutions
censuring Representative Kennedy, of
Ohio, for his speech against the Senate
and Senator Quay, and to expunge the
speech from the Congressional Record,
was attended by all the members. Rep
resentative Kennedy was present and
made a statement in defence of his
action, and argued to prove that the
speech as published in the Record was
within the requirements of parliamen-
tary laws. Tie committee decided by a
majority that was large enough to per-
nit Adams, of Illinois, to refrain from
casting vote, he having already express
ed his opinion Of the speech and the duty
of the House on the floor, to report a
resolution directing the Government
printer to omit the speech from the per
manent copy of the Record.

children had hold of his hands. He
took only five steps from his back door
when the earth opened and hc dropped
out of sight into the old Bear Run Col
llery.
The cave in was clear cut-hole not
moro than three feetin diameter. Butts
had presence of mind enough when ne
found himself sinking to let go OF the
children's hands. The little ones were
left behind standing on opposite sides OF
the hole.
Had the hole been foot wider both
children would have gone down also
When the children recovered from then
fright they screamed for help: Their
mother came to the scene. and seeing
what had occurred, sheran throught the
village giving the alarm. a crowd soon
collected. The cavein was measured ana
found to be thirty-cight feet deep.
Butts could not be seen, but his Sroans
were distinctly heard, proved that he
was still alive. \ rope was procured
and let down, and in few minutes
thew heard a feeble voice calling on
them to ..hoist." In few minutes
Butts was landed on tie surface. tic
was found to be badly bruised and hur'
internally. and it is feared he cannot re-
cover. No earth fell on top OF him.
The bottom just seemed to drop ou
and down he went.

KEPT SILENT THIRTY YEARS.
\ Woman Religiously Keeps Vow Made
to her Husband.

\ Woman Religiously Keeps Vow Made
to her Husband.
AMERICUS, Ga, Sept. 1S.-The death
of Mrs. Susan f. Merriield, which oc-
Cured here recently, revives interest in
one of the most peculiar cases ever
known of a VOW of silence made and
kept thirty years. In 1860 Mrs. Merri-
field, who, it is said, was little woman
of a peculiarly bright and CHEEKY dispo-
sition, was telling her husband OF some
occurrence, when he requested her in a
very surly manner to be silent, adding
that the sound of her voice was hateful
to him.
It seems that Mr.. Merriield, while a
good husband in every other way, was
in the habit of venting his displeasure
when aroused by outside matters by Ill
humor with his wife, whose good nature
usually passed his teStinesS by, but OF
this occasion she replied that, as 1t was
hateful to him, he should never hear her
voice again. And he never die, nor did
any other person ever hear it, for, in
spite of her husbands remorse and re-
monstrances from friends and rela-
tives, Mrs. Merrifeld kept her room,
though she continued to act the part of
a good wife and mother, fulfilling every
duty scrupulously. She even bore
three children to her husband after this
VOW was taken. When communication
was absolutely necessary with those
about her she used a slate, but reduced
alanguage of signs to such perfection in
governing her household and children
that it was but seldom that this slate
was reSorted to.
1t was thought that when her hus.
band died she would resume the use of
her speech, but while she sat by his dy-
ing bed, devoted and loving to the last,
in answer to his supplications that she
speak but a word to him, wrote on the
slate with all the evidences of grief: Il
cannot, cannot. God forgive and help
me. ! cannot But whether it was
that she found it impossible to break
her will and her VOW, or that long dis
use had affected her organs so that she
really could not use them, could not be
arrived at, but her family inclined to
the latter belief, for it is said that while
she was on her own death-bed she
made distinct, but Intellectual effort
to speak to her children, dying with
the seal Of silence unremoYed from
her lips.

rock OF His salvation. What a blessed
thing 1t is to be defended by the strong
wing of the Almighty! Stronger than

have only one more thought to pre-
sent. The wings nnder which Ruth had
come to trust were gentle wings. There
is nothing softer than a feather. You
have noticed when bird returns from
fight, how gently it stoops over the nest.
The young BIRDS are not afraid Of having
their lives trampled out by the mother
bird; the old whippo will drops into its
nest of leaves, the orlale into It's casket
of bark. the humming-bird into its ham,
mock Of moss-gentle as the light. And
so. says the psalmlst, He shall cover
thee with His wing. Oh. the geneleness
Of God. But even that figure does not
fully set it forth; for have sometimes
looked into the birds nest and seen a
dead bird-itSlife having been trampled
out by the mother-bird. But no one that
ever came under the feathers Of the AL
mighty was ever troddon on.
Blessed nest! warm nest! Why will
men stay out in the cold to be shot Of
temptation and to be chilled by the blast,
when there is Divine shelter More
beautiful than any flower l ever saw are
the hues of a BIRDS rlumage. Did you
ever examine it? The bsackbird, floating
like flake efdarkness through the sum
light; the meadow lark, with head Of
fawn and throat Of velvet and breast OF
gold; the famingo flying over the South
ern swamps, like sparks from the forge
of the setting sun; the pelican, white
and black-morning andnlght tangled in
its wings-give but very faint IDEA Of
the beauty that comes down over the
soul when it drop the feathers of the AL
mighty. Here fold your weary wings.

The Republican Primary.

Our readers will have to content them
selves with very meager report of the
work done and OF the methods resorted
to on last Monday afternoon at the Re.
publican Primary for the corporation Of
Hillsboro. The News. HERALD is Repub-
lican if it knows what it believes. It
has always been Republican, but never
of the class that can or will endorse the
methods resorted to last Monday in
bringing voters to the polls. Cincinnati
Fourth Ward methods are often held up
as the most disgraceful and damning OF
anything that can be held up before a
people prizing liberty and loving the
purity Of the ballot.box. 1.-THE methods
that have been so vehemently denounc-
ed as practiced in Cincinnati were any
worse or more disgraceful than those
practiced in Hillsboro last Monday, then
the people of the Fourth Ward of that
city are to be pitied.
How long the Republican party, with
its glorious record, can stand against
this tide of corruption is question that
time alone can solve. But this may be
safely asserted that if right is to rule,
then such disgraceful ways and methods,
as were the order of the day on last
Monday, must cease. The matter is a
serious one and cannot be passed lightly
by. The question, Whether the people
of Hillsboro are in the hands of the
liquor interest of this place, is one chat
will require an answer in the very near
future. Are the people of this corpora
ton ready or near ready to answer that
question

There will be many attractions during

There will be some very fancy dane.

the others were prisoners at various

Silver Wedding.

How rapidly roll the wheels OF time.
While sit and ponder, my mind runs
back to the wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
8. Pulse, and am startled to think that
to-day, March 20th, 1890, we are cele.
brating the twenty.fifth anniversary OF
that event. Yes, 'tis home now and the
spot is loved and consecrated. A happy
family, beautiful home, an unbroken
family circle and twenty-five years of a
pleasant life is passed and yet the silver
cord Of life runs on unbroken. And
were it not for the appearance OF the
silver threads among the golden tresses,
we might yet think that father and
mother were celebrating their first an.
niversary wedding.
Soon after our arrival we were called
to the wedding feast and sixty persons
were seated around the tables which
were groaning under their load of pies,
cakes, meats, fruits, both foreign and do
mestic, in fact all the good things which
cuIeh piouuCeS. n SOOuly HuhDcT vi
beautiful presents were given.
A letter from w. A. Rousl, Mrs
Pulses brother, was read, in which he
expressed his regret at not being able to
be present. In closing bis letter he
said: "But the moon betokens the
evening, and while it is not in human
power to prevent the evening shadows
OF life to come, yet OF God it is given to
prepare lamp of hope to be light, even
when the light of natural day grows dim
to our sight. No, the sunset of life must
come, but ,nay its horizon to you and
yours be gilded with the gold OF Christ
ian faith and hope that shall portent
the fair day in the morning of the gres
eternity. May God protect you ant
yours and keep you through another
score and five years to celebrate you
golden wedding is the wish of you
friend"
