but here at last comes the august
object of this unparalleled manifesto
ton, the successor and heir of Ivan the
Terrible. His handsome and manly
young countenance is pale with the pro
digous sensation which such scene
must naturally excite, and holds his
gloved right hand almost perpetually to
his regimental cap. He bends his head
gently to this side and that, to acknOwl-
edge the boundless welcome. Every
man is bareheaded, and every woman is

taxable were the affection and loyalty of
the crowd, and saw more than one
poor peasant woman's eyes fill with
tears Of sheer joy to behold this fair

port and the gentlemen reached Napol-
con Wednesday forenoon. After dinner
they continued on their way to Mcintosh
county. At Willamsport and 4, Napol-
con, Mr.. Wallace denounced Hansbrough
in bis usual manner, and also spoke dis
paragingly of Chairman Cooper motives
and those OF Mr.. Bray IN the conduct OF
the state campaign, which good many
republicans. thought was in very poor
taste for man who gets his bread aud
butter from a republican administration.
II may be pertinent IN this connection to
remark that Mr.. Wallace was out hunting
ducks and geese and sand hill cranes and
things like that, and as he had neither
pole nor tackle along, it was not likely
that he intended to fial for suckers. Ii is
doubtful If the convention will lnish its
labors for some days yet.

Her Conduct "a Mystery.

a case OF probable abduction is reported
from Centennial, Lawrence County. Laila,
the l6-ycar-old daughter of J. II. Will
hanson, Il prominent farmer, and a Miss
Miller. who has been teaching the Centen-
MAI school, have mysteriously disap-
peared. 1t is learned that parties an
swering their description went to Spear
lSh and purchased two tickets over the
Burlington road and left for the east or
south. What motive the woman could
have IN inducing the girl to leave her
home, where she was treated kindly, is
not known. 1t is said that the teacher
has acted rather strangely for some time.
On one occasion she kept her school in
session until after s O'Clock at night, caus-
ing the parents of the young pupils great
anxiety, and then took one of them, a
child about & years old, to her home, UNI
