It is said that Mr. Conkling wants to
return to tho Senate two years hence,
ami Ins arrival liomo alter ins sojourn
abroad is to bo made tho occasion of a
grand banquet to rjivo him something
of a sccd-off. With Conkling and
Evarts in tho Senate, Now York would
bo unusually well represented for a
btato that has had in tho benate cliam
bcr such men as Piatt, Warner Miller
nnd Laphatn.
Of William M. Evarts' romantic mar
riage a gossip says; Tho story is all
right, oxcopt, as ho remarked to tno tho
other day, that his wifo's narao is not
Mary, tliat ncr lather was not otato
Treasurer and Governor of Vermont,
that tho match was not opposed by her
father, and that there was no great
er amount of romanco in the engage'
inent than is ordinarily tho case with
young people."
Tho Press seems to know something
about Unay that is not to ins credit.
It declares that that something,
" when it comes to bo discussed, as it
inevitably must be, will be much moro
difficult to deal with. Men familiar
with tho affairs of tho state know that
his candidacy involves much moro ser
ious matters, and that such a camp,
aicn cannot pass without their discuss
ion. Republicans should understand
what thev are about."
Now that Quay is nominated for
Stato Treasurer by tho Republican
party, it remains to bo scon whether
tho 1'ress will have, tho courago to tell
what these "serious matters ' are.
Tho Lancet calls attention to tho
dancrer lurkincr in the nractico of lick
ing adhesive stamps and envelopes, de
claring that much local irritation, soro
tongues and kindred complaints may
bo traced to this source. It relates a
curious illustration of tho way in which
discaso may be communicated. An
envelope received from a person who
habitually tok largo quantities of mor
phia hypodermically was reclosed by
the person who opined it by licking
tho adhesivo surface, with tho result of
making him violently sick. Tbo mere
touch of tongue of tho taker of morphia
had rendered tho gum intensely nau
seous. There is no excuso for licking
tho adhesivo surface, whilo the samo
result can be brought about, by licking
tho surface- on which tho stamp is to be
placed. Of course exception is made
of thoso violently lovo-siok young raou
who lick the surface ot their sweet
heart's letter wherothostamphad been,
forgetful of the fact that the colored
coachman licked tho siamp and put it

THE INDIAN AND HIS EIGHTS.
A few centuries ago the Indian trod
tho forests and plains of America as
tho "Monarch of all he surveyed."
AMicro now lofty ciiunth spires rear
their heads to heaven, and their bells
sound tho summons to tbo worship of
tho God of Christian and Hebrew,
there in tho glory of his war paint, and
tho splendor of his plumagc,tho savago
warrior lifted up his voice to tho great
Manitou. Tho land was his by birth
and by occupancy, and was taken from
him gradually, but surely, by civilized
oppression. The shores ot tho Atlan
tic bounded his domain on the cast
and tho great rivers that aro now tho
highways of commerce, were disturbed
only by tho' ripples mado by his baik
canoe. From point to point ho was
driven by thewhitu invaders from over
tho sea, robbed of his hunting grounds,
despoiled of his property, and finally,
after year and years of neglect by tho
government that has usurped his do
main, he finds himself cooped up on a
limited reservation on tho great plains
of tho west.
All this has been said before and
much moro like it, and the long dis
puted question as to whether the whito
man nau tno rignt 10 taico possession
of tho Indian's territory, we boliov'o
has never yet been permanently &
lied by the school debating societies,
It is only recently that efforts havo
hern made to chrit-tianizu and civilize
our red brethren of the plains, by tho
establishment of Fchoola for their edu
cation, and many boyn and girls havo
been taught tho ways of tho whites nt
thesu establishment, and havo gono to
Ihoir rudo homes to tell what they have
learned, and to instil in other youth a
denire to live like civilized people. Thus
m initially aro the few fragments of
many mighty tribes being metamor.
tihcKed into intelligent and useful citi

The Ulerks Like to Work.
Tho government will bo tho gainer
by an hundred or two huudred thous
and dollars this summer tu tho saving
of leaves of absence. Under ordinary
conditions thcro would bo nn nvcrago
of a thousand clerks on lcavo of ab-
senco beginning tho first of July and
continuing till tho first of October.
Whether it is tho denghtltil wcainer,
indifference to foreign attractions or
tho influenco of tho now administra
tion which keeps tho clerks hero is n
matter of no moment. They aro hero
and attending to business. Tho regu
lar annual lcavo of thirty days has not
been cut off ; they simply don't want
to go. Nobody seems to bo growling
about being compelled to work j they
lovo to stay and help tho government
along. Homo pcoplo are mean cnougn
to say that thoy aro nfraid of being
dismissed, but this is evidently a slan
der. The Postal Department.
Somo of tho criticisms and' com
ments on tho now postal rates and
all postal reductions and reforms in
dulge tho apprehension that the lowcr-
postago lees will roduco the revenues
of tho postoftico department, iucreaso
tho nnual dcncicnccs boyond their pres
ent figure, and leave tho Bystetn, say
S5,000,000 or 6,000,000 from self-sup
port.
Ucrtainly this is no very serious mat
ter. Tho postofhee department is tho
ono of tho most general convenience.
Tho transmissson of tho news and let
ters of tho people affects every com
munity and interests every citizen. It
reaches to every cross-roads and pene
trates the remotest corners of tho count
ry. In tho moro populous sections, it
is far moro than all tho expenses of
postoflices and post routes. Tho de
ficiencies result from tho largo oxpense
of getting a meagre amount of mail
matter to tho far distant portions of
tho country. This tho government
ought to pay for, upon tho samo prin
ciple th.'i t supports tho army, the
navy and the other bureaus of publio
service.
Twenty-
Five Thousand

Democrats Ap-
A Washington correspondent says
tho Rcpulican clerks, postmasters, in
ternal revenue collectors, eta, who
havo been discharged during tho past
four months, to be replaced by Demo
crats, is much larger than is generally
known. Tho changes havo boen so
gradual that tho casual looker-on has
Tailed to noto their total. Tho numb
er of revenue collectors is eighty-five;
sinco the 4th of March about sixty
Democrats havo been appointed to tako
tho places of Republican collectors.
Each collector has under him from
fifty to ono hundred employes, and all
theso aro being constantly changed. It
is the same with tho custom offices and
post offices. It is no exaggeration to
say that fully 25,000 Democrats have
been appointed to olhco during Presi
dent Cleveland's Bhort administration.
At this rato only about six months will
be required to chauzo tho entire per
sonnel of the Government, but tho pro
labilities aro tho changes will proceed
much faster now that the new heads
of departments, bureaus and divisions
havo come to know their ground, and
foil less dependent upon tho old and
trained, but tricky Republican office
holders. tJtay East, Young Han, Stay East-

the samo age. All through their aca
demic career at Oxford, which thev en
tered together and of which the ono is
now Uianceuor and tho other Iliah
Steward, they wero as brothors in their
friendship. As in their acadeniio car
eer, so all through their political ono
iuoy navo maintained without a mom
onva severance this almost romantic
friendship. Wheu Lord Salisbury se
ceded from the fjerby-uuracli Minis
try, in 1800, Lord Carnavon seoeded
with him. Thoy havo passod most of
their time together tho Carnavons
bfing nt Hatfield House or tho Salis-
burys ut llihghcltro Castle and

you far outshone- Lord Salisbury
though he ran a distinguished careor,
too bung ho most brilliant man
liiero oi many years and regarded as
the promise of future statesmanship.
Hut when they camo to battlo on tho
broader field of lifo Salisbury proved
the stronger, cniciiy in consequence oi
tlio excessive nervousness ot Lord Car
navon in speaking, which makes it for
sometime after his opening painful to
listen to him. Otherwise his speeches
aro as periect in stylo- as it dressed by
muses of Falkland. Theso men are so
immeasurably superior to their coltea
gues, who are a very common placo
crew, with tho exception of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, that their views will
absolutely govern. Lord Kandoldh

Dcath of a Rich Wilkesbarrcan.
Jameson llnrvoy, aged 80, ono of
tho oldest citizens of tho Wyoming
valloy, died at Wilkesbarro Saturday
morning. Ho was tho first extensive
opcrntcr and shipper of coal in tho an
thrncito region, continuing up to 18G3,
when ho retired from nctlvo business
with n large fortune. Ho was a son

Unwelcome Keturn of a Husband.
In 18G5 John Gilbert, a fanner of
Huntingdon county, with his wife and
infant daughter, removed to Shelby
county, III. Failing to obtain employ
ment there, ho left his family nnd con
tinued his westward journey alone,
promising to return in six months.
Not returning nt the time appointed,
his wife and daughter came back to
Huntingdon. About three years ago,
nftcr a lapso of Boventecn yoars, Mrs.
Gilbert who could learn nothing of tho
whereabouts of her husband, and be
lieving him to bo dead, married Chris
tian Colestock, of Huntingdon, a de
crepit old man, who died n fow months
nfter tho marriage, leaving his widow
considerably valuable property. On
Wednesday night, to the astonishment
of every body and particular by Mrs.
Colcstock, Jno. (Wbort, her first hus
band, arrived home, footsore and
weary, and sought lodging at tho res
idenco of his daughter, whero ho was
kindly received. Mrs Colestock, how
over, though acknowledging his iden
tity, refused to receive him as her law
ful husband, and dismissed him with
bitter reproaches. Whether Mrs.
Gilbert-Colestoek will bo entitled to
tho pensonalty and dower in tho realty
descending from Christian Colestock
is tho legal question that will now bo
raised in tho settlement of tho estate.

That a Chinaman havo more in their
heads than fino-tooth comb can bring
out, is well illustrated in tho following
Btory: It was about a Mongolian iu
San Francisco, who walked into a b:rd
cago store in that city, and offered to
work a year without pay if in return
ho was instructed in bird-cago making.
It was a great offer, and tho whito
man jumped at it. The Chinaman
kept his contract, and worked faithfully
for twelvo months. Tho morning fol
lowing tho expiration of tho term, tho
whito man was surprised to seo tUb
shutters taken from tho windows of a
long, vacant store immediately oppo
site, and within the succeeding hour he
also saw tho place taken possession of
by about twenty Chinamen, every ono
of whom was carrying as many bird
cages as ho could without dropping
any. spreading tno stock in tho most
advantageous way possible, thoy next
hung out signs announcing $1 bird
cages for 82 and dollar ones for fifty
cents. Tho competition was so ruinous
as to send tho whito man into bank
ruptcy within a month. Tho cages
wero "not stolon, but the onto Ce
lestial all during his apprenticeship had
been running a night class in cage-
making down in the Chinese quarter,
and when his term ended ho started
this co operativo storo with his adept
pupils.
A Rattlesnake's Involuntary Ukase.
Mr. John Whito, living a few miles
from Hawley, Pa.,wcnt out on tho hills
near her houso a few days ago to look
tho huckleberry barrens over and boo
what tho prospect was tor tho berry
season. While standing at tho sido of
an old road she heard a rattlesnake
sound its rattle immediately behind
her, nnd then felt a tug at the skirt of
bcr dress, oho looked around quickly,
and saw that a big rattlesnake had
struck at her, and that its fangs wero
fast in tho bottom of her dress skirt.
Mrs. White started on a run for home.
Tho snake's fangs wero so securely fas
tened in the dress that the suako was
carried along. Mrs. Whito ran so fast
tho rattlesnako was whipped and tossed
about liko tho tail of a kite.
Tho distanco to tho houso was a
quarter of a mile, and when Mrs.
Whito reached her door she was bo
much overcome by exhaustion and
fright that sho fainted on the steps.
Her daughter ran to her assistance.
When eho Bav tho snake, with its teeth
fast in her mother's dress, sho did not
stop to investigato matters further, but
ran screaming to a neighbor's half a
milo away. Sho stiposcd that tho
snake had bitten her mother and killed
her, and bo announced when sho
reached the neighbor's.
A man ran back to Mrs. Wbito's.
She had recovered sufficiently to crawl
into the house. The snako was still
fast in her dress, but was dead. Tho
thrashing on tho stones and against the
ground that it had received had beaten
the lifo out of it. Tho snako was four
feet long and had seven rattles.

1SKIU.ANI" murder, i
A special from Northumberland to
tho Scranton 'Truth furnishes tho fol
lowing particulars in regard to tho
Cox-Jump murder: Tho intense ex
citement produced hero by tho murd
er ot .Milo Jump, tonuorly ot oorantoii,
by John T. Cox, proprietor of tho
Palmer House, continues unabated.
With tho lapso of timo comes out tho
story which first brought about tho
difference between Cox and his former
employe, and which undoubtedly was
tho cause of tho terrible murder. Dur
ing Jump's employment nt tho Palmer
Houso ho formed the acquaintance
witli tho wifo of Cox, wliiuh it is open
ly asserted, ripened into a familiarity
which excited the husband's suspicions
nnd finally a wrathy interview with
wifo, iu wliioh ho severely whipped her,
and then the disoharge of Jump from
tho hotel's employ, with tho admoni
tion that if hu ever entered tho build
ing again it would be at his peiil. Tho
men afterward met on tho street, and
the enmity existing caused a quarrel to
break out nt once, iu which Cox drew
a revolver on Jump and pulled thu
trigger, but it missed lire, and tho in
terposition of lookers on saved Jump's
life at that timo. Tho latter had a
largo dirk in bis hand with which ho
cut Cox severely in tho left arm.
When Jump and tho young men of
his party entered the Palmer Houso
Thursday, ho did so moro on a banter
from Ihoui that ho was afraid to outer
He told them, however, that ho placod
his life iu jeopardy in doing to. Cox
was in tho reading room attached to
tho bar when Jump and his companions
came in, and when he recognized
Jump's voice in reply to tho bartend
er's remark that he could have nothing,
ho got up from his seat, wont into the
bar-room nnd approached Jump with
tho remark, "Tou - - , did I not
warn you novcr to enter this houso ?
D-n you, got out. Jump startod for
tho door, Cox drawing his rovolvor and
following, but before tho door was
reached ho seized Jump by tho right
shoulder, drawing him partly around
nnd firing sent tho bullet through tho
heart of his victim, Jump exclaimed,
"Oh my 1'' roclod and fell headlong
through tho screen door lifeless upon
tho stono steps. Cox went to Sunbury
nnd surrender hirasclt to tho prison
authorities. Ho is tho father of two
children, and his wife feels keenly tho
tragedy with which sho is openly
charged with being ono of tho prime
causes. Tho coroner's inquest return
ed n verdict in accordance with tho
facts already published. Jump's wife
and child arrived hero from Scranton
Friday evening, and she bitterly
lamented tho sad ending of her bus
band's life, weeping nnd bemoaning
moslsorrowttilly over his body, and
exciting tho most heartfelt sympathies
of nil who witnessed this meeting of
tho living with tho dead under theso
most cruel circumstances.

Your correspondent was aroused by tho
murderous cries of a hen last week, which
was tied to tho fence near by his sleeping
apartment, nursing a brood of goslings.
Supposing a mink or some other animal
preying upon tho feathered baby trlbs, we
hastily rushed to the rescue. Passing the
wood-pllo wo seized a stick of stovowood,
and on approaching saw something fast
ened to tho hen which let go its hold on

its back, showing light In self defense.
Wo struck it a stunning blow, however,
and on examination found it to bo a huge
owl that measured over four feet from tip

Notwithstanding tho chronic grumbling

each year this promise Is verified beyond
expectation, despite cold or heat, rain or
draught, or any other condition ot climate.
Michael Wenner, who lost three head of
