Perhaps the finest thing In tho book is the
portrait OF the commander Of the Continental
Army. 1t would be difficult to com ine admi-
ration and discrimination in more excellent
proportions. Washington was to the Con.
federacy all in all. Without him it would have
been ten times lost. and the names of the poll
ticians who had drawn the country into the
conflict would have gone down to posterty

haze OF panegyric. We can hardly number

acted on SO small a scale. and who though he
was tho soul OF the war. never won q battle.
In that respect. Carlyle. who threatened to
take George down II peg or two. might
have made good his threat. But he could
not have stripped Washington OF any part
Of his credit for patriotism wisdom. and cour-

Before our traveller had reached the first hut
OF this Ainu village he was announced by n
deafeninR salute on the part of tho dogs
whereupon from almost every hut in the long
quadrangle was projected n shaggy black
head to learn the cause Of tho disturbance.
At length from under the low entrance Of the
second hut on the left came forth a remark

limbs rather delicately taperinC. with small
hands and feet. HIS color was between con-
per and deep walnut stain. He had very
large and prominent forehead. crowned with n
remarkable mass OF black shaggy. hair and "A
face OF thoughtful and benign expression
whence depended q tremendous beard that
entirely covered his chest. The most peculiar
thing about tho man. however. was that the
whole OF his body which, except for strip OF

struggling black hairs from one to three inches
in length. the upper parts OF tho face alone

The Trial of Tommy Dixon at Pittsbnrg.

SpseiaL Ieleorann to tho Register.
PITTsBURG, PA, October 4.-Edward
D. King and Thomas Dixon were ar
raigned for trial this morning for the
murder of William Cunningham on the
night OF September II.
On the night in question the accused
and the deceased, all printers, were
drinking together on Smithtield street.
They became involved in a row and
Cunningham was knocked down and
kicked.
He was taken to his boarding house
on Second avenue, but subsequently re-
moved TO the Homeopathic Hospital,
where he died.
Cunningham was rowing printer and
was well known in every large city in
the country. King and Dixon are quite
youthful in appearance. They are de-
Tended by j. w. Bremen aud j. d.
Ramsey, of Pittsburg, and Thomas ii.
Greevy, of Altoona.
Much troublekwas experienced before
the jury was selected.
District Attorney Burleigh held they
would be able TO show that at least one
of the defendants was active In causing
Wm. Cunninghams death and probably
| both.
DR.. r. S. Marshall, who made the au-
topsy and post mortem examination,
said he found clot Of blood covering
the whole left side of the brain. The
only thing else found was an evidence
OF the beginning of consumption Of the
right lung.
The evident cause Of death, however,
was the injury to the brain, but the de-
| fense caught sharply at the testimony
as to the condition OF the lung. The
blood clot might have been caused by q
kick.
Several witnesses testified to seeing
| Dixon strike Cunningham and then
kick him, and King this afternoon on
the stand said he had helped Cunning
ham after the scutile and had nothing
10 do with the fight. His attorney
| uleaded for his acQuittal.
Dixon testified that they had been
scufllinR in fun.
In addressing the jury the District
Attorney scored the police for allowing
the scufiie 10 continue as loAg as IL did.
He called bum printers "men who
| feared neither GOD nor man." He
asked for verdict not above man
slaughter. The case was sent to the
jury tonight.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 4.-The
representations of the need OF change
in the Wheeling poktmastership, which
have been made by Congressman Pen
dieton and the rest OF the West VIZ
ginia Congressional delegation. have
evidently produced an impression on
Postmaster General Bissell. The lat
ter has already taken up the case ana
is engaged in going through the papers
on file In the department. This lndlca-
tion OF speedy action on the part OF tne
department is very satisfactory TO Mr..
Pendleton, who hopes the matter VIII
be settled in short order, and the post
Office placed in Democratic controi De-
fore the first Of the month.
The postoffice at SiStersville, Tyler
county, has been raised from the fourth
class TO the Presidential class owing TO
the rapid increase Of the receipts OF the
office in consequence Of the boom which
the town has enjoyed. The salary OF
the postmaster has been raised to Sl,5Uo
wear. The change in the classltca'
tion OF the Office will make necessary
the nomination of the postmaster by
the President. Mr.. Frank d. Mccoy,
the present incumbent, who was given
the place few months ago, on the In
dorsement OF Congressman Pendleton,
will Of course be retrained.
The postoffice at Vendome, Brooke
county, w. Va, has been discontinued,
and mail for Vendome will hereafter oe
sent to Welsburg. The following
fourth-class West Virginia postmasters
have been commissioned: Margaret ,.
Commack, at Dunns; VIM. f. Hickman,
at Newark; George Klug, at 81. Joseph;
at DavisvIle, Wood county, 6. K. Creel;
at Sycamore, Calhoun county, G. j.

The special mail service to Sergent'
Roane county, West Virginia, from
Spencer, will be discontinued after

passed through Washington to-day on
his way to his old home in Virginia.
Mr.. VIM. c. Dlller, the popular drug
gist, of Romney, w. Va, was married
at st. Aloysius Church, in this city to-
day to Miss Blanche Lengla, an attrac-

German Admits the senate Powerlsss.

WASHINGTON, October "A delega-
tion of about eighty business men from
Baltimore called upon Senator German
at the capitol to-day and presented
memorials and addresses urging the
speedy repeal of the Sherman act. Mr..
German replying said that under the
rules of the Senate there was no way to
hasten action unless it could be done by
bringing home influence to bear upon
the opponents OF the repeal bill from
the Southern States. He said that
cloture was impossible and that contin-
nous session would be a great hardship
upon the older Senators. He would not
undertake to name time when a vote
could be reached aud said it would be
very difficult to reach vote at all un-
less a compromise recognizing silver
could be agreed upon.
