A Wonderful Woman. Mrs. Junks,
of Louisiana fame, (or sbaaio) grows
classical. In her letter lo Senator Hill,
sho says: "I am even more invulnera

nonUof varied interests and must be

The Old Boy. Tho editor of the
Louisville Courier says: "In 1855, Sa

Allegheny mountains and 'ilTercd bun
tho State of Pennsylvania, Simon took
tho old boy at bia word. Ever Binco,
the State of Pennsylvania has been in

A Model Hero. That anciontblood

says that bis patriotic impulses would

Looking por Candidates. Having
put our Presidential ticket In tho

about for a candidato for Stato Treas
urer. Who wo will settlo upon, wo
are nimble to tell at prosent, but we
aro determined to put a first class man
in tbo field within a short timo.
1t' Trult Awrot. Ono of tbo
bloody shirt squibs now afloat in every
Radical newspaper, reads as follows:
"Only twelve negroes wero killed in
Teosan Parish, Louisiana, during the
late canvass." That looks like bloody
work. But the Radical scoundrels
should tell the wholo story. It was
the yellow fever that killed them.
Wbt Ben Fell. General Butler at-
tribute bis defeat to "tho newspapers,

It will bo observed that Uoyl's plu-
ralty over Dill is 22,505, but tho ma
jority ngaiiiBt Uoyt is nearly 03,000,
Tho people are, therefore, largely
against Hoyt.
A Kimi's Escape. Wo aro compell
ed to chronicle another attempted as
sassination in Europe Humbert the
King of Italy. A dispatch from Rome,
of November 18th, says: "Tbo King
and Quoen arrived in Naples this af
ternoon, wore enthusiastically recoivod
by immense crowds. Soveral persons
n the Stnida Carborara presented a
petition to their Majesties. A man at
this moment rushed upon tho King
with a dagger and succeeded in inflict
ing a scratch upon his left arm and
slightly wounding Signor Cuiroli in
the let! thigh. Tho King displayed
rcut fiioliHSund struck tho assassin
on the bend with bis sword. Signor
Cuiroli seized him by the hair. Tho
assassin was immediately taken to tho
guard-bouse. Tho Queen and son,
who were in tho carriage with tbo
King, displayed inucli courage The
assassin's name is Giovanni Pussavanto.
Ho says ho does not like Kings." It
seems tbut high-toned civilization and
forced education, is breo iing assassins
everywhere in Europe, and Kings and
Emperors must bo on tho lookout hero-
after. A great moral cyclono seems to
bo spreading over turopo at thm tuuo.
In Spain these reformers aro known
as Nationalists ; In Germany they bap
tize themselves as Socialists ; in Italy
us Freemen, and in Franco they adopt
their truo name Communists. Tbo
pistol, dagger and torch aro tboir
weapon, and tbo "Greenback baby,"
n this country, is a child of tho same
parent.
-. i
Tub Mollis Chief. In speakingof
tho warm fooling winch Governor
Hartronft has manifested In behalf of
Jack Kohoo, tbo Patriot says : "Whon
day alter day and week after week
passed it became too apparent
that tho delay of Liovornor Hart-
ranft was for a partisan object. Dur
ing tbo campaign wbilo tho death war
rant impended over tho head of Ke-
hoo, Republican emissaries traversed
tho Stato soliciting votos in ovory quar
ter where it was supposed that a feel
ing of sympathy for tbo cbieftian of
the Moll ie Maguircs might exist. Ap
peals for votos woro not moroly made
for Mr. Hoyt but for Mr. Dunklo on
tbo ground that Mr. Attica, if elected,
would become a momber ol tbo Board
of Pardons when it was Important lor
Kchoo that a favorable Board of Par-
dons should bo chosen. Thoro is no
doubt that tho votes sccurod for Dun
klo on this appeal outnumbered all
that ho bad lost in Philadelphia. Ono
of these cmissuiies was the messenger
of Governor Uartranft who traded lor
votes throughout tho campaign on tho
hoad of Jack Kohoo."
Political Fun. Although lilair
county is a standard Radical county, our
Democratic friends succeeded in elect
ing one of three n ominces to tho Leg
islature. The Altoona Sun in alluding
to tho affair says : Shortly before tbo
election Mr. David Murray, a politician
of the National faith, vowod that in
onso of Mr. Gilland's election ho would
oonvey tho member elect to liarrisburg
in a wheelbarrow. Mr. Murray, ho
llering that it is hotter not to vow than
to vow and not perform, has had his
barrow built and announces his readi
rices to fulfill bis plcdgo when tho
lime comes. Our citizens, military,
bands, societies, etc., should organize
to givo tho parties a good send-off, and
wo predict a ri";ulur oration as tbe
''conquering hero" sails down the Jun
iata valley in tho novel conveyance.
There is only one thing that may in
terfere with tho sport Mr. Gilland has
not accepted tho tender of a wheelbar
row rido.
Too Bad. Tho editor of tho Doylcs-
town Democrat socms to sco it just as
we do In alluding to the rosult of
the recent election, be says: "Noxt to
Iho defeat of Mr. Dill wo regret that of
ex-Governor Curtin for Congross. His
defeat in a bcavy Democratic district
is ono of the surprising things of tho
ctmpaign. We have road what tbo
Bellefonle Watchman has to say about
it, and have tried to adopt his view oi
tho question and think it all sqttsro ;
but we cannot help feeling that bad
the ir7icAm(7M done its duty to tho
party and the man it nominated, Cur
tin would have been electod without
doubt. Tbo defeat of Senator Dill puts
oft" to a more distant day the reforms
so much needed by the Commonwealth."
Covtir
Cambria T'recman id niter (it'll, llenrv
While's sculp and goes for him ill this
way : Wo don't know how much of
tho twelve or fittecn thousand dollars
appropriated by Congccus, at Ihoin-
stuueo of Hurry White, for u survey of
the Conuniauch and Kieki miuutns
rivers with the pretense of making
them navigable, wus spent by Col. Wor
rull, the chief engineer, and bis assis
tunU, but ni'csuiue tbo job has bA
Completed as fur as it wus intended to
be, judging from tbo fact, us wo see
slated, tbut lust week Worrull was en
gaged as ono of Iho Commissioners
Irom this Suite in ascertaining the true
boundary lino between Puniisylvsniu
and Ohio. Wo have no doubt tbut this
transparent iruud helped to secure
While's re election to Congress, and il
will be in keeping wiib the character ot
the man if ho tries his bund at secur
ing unotber appropriation in 1881 for
a survey of some of tho other streums
that flow into tho Allegheny within
tho boundaries oi his district. If he
does it will bo a lilting time for a man
like George A. Jenks to gibbet the In
diana demagogue.
A Set LP Jolt. It is pretty general
ly understood that an effort will be
made in the Legislature this winter to
saddle tho costs ot the Pittsburg riot
on tbo lialtineo of tbo counties of tho
State. An exchange in alluding to this
mattor savs : "It is down on the slnto
that Henry M. Long, of Allegheny, is
to bo Speaker of the House at llnnis-
httrg this winter. He has ever boon
ono of tho most subservient slaves of
Maekey and Cameron and so must
havo bis reward. The people of the
Stato will remember Mr. Long as the'
man who engineered tbo movement to
saddlo tho throo million burden of the
Piltaburg riots on the taxpayers of the
Commonwealth, Another effort in
that lino is to bo mudo at tbo coming
sessions and tho selection of Long for
tho Speaker's chuir is the first move in
that direction. Tho press of tho Stato
should muko a note of this plot and bo
thoroughly expose it that country mem
bers will insist on a change of pro
grammo. To bo lorewarned is lo bo
lorearmed."
What Thet Amount to An ex
change says: "Tho official returns of
tho olection in cloven Congressional
districts in this Stato, outside of Phila
delphia, show tbut a union of the Dem
ocratic and Greenback voto would have
defeated tho following named eight suc
cessful Republican candidates, viz :
Killinger, Mitchell, Fisher, Eirett.Sbal
lenberger, White, Dick and Osmer,
and that a union of tho Republican and
Greenback voto would havo defeated
tho following named three successful
Democratic candidates, viz: Hyon,
CoffVoth and Wiso." Tbo foregoing
result is as apparent ns tho no.to on a
man's face. Tho Democratic Green
backer loaned bimselt to Cameron,
Quay and Co., to clocl EIG LIT, out of
eleven Congressmen, in litis Slule, for
the exclusive use of the Radical party.
The liiiuiT Kind of a Candidate.
An exchange says: Frederick Grof,
Democrat, wbo defeated K. D. Yulzy
for Senator in tho Somorset-Bedford-Fulton
district wus a high private for
threo years in tho 84lh Regiment, P. V.,
of which J. M. Campbell, defeated for
Congross, waa Colonel, and Senator
Yutzy Major. Ho is a self made man,
and by bis own exertions fitted himself
for school teaching, which ho followed
for a number of years. Ho has won a
signal victory in his election to tho Sen
ate in what was considered ono ot the
surest Republican districts in tbo Stato.
Ho reduced Senator Yutr.y s majority
in Somerset county from 1,530 in 18TG
to 281, and in Stoystown, wbero bo re
sides, ho received 65 of tbo G7 votes
polled.
A VtflcE From the South. General
Joseph E. Johnston, the able and gal
lant soldier wbo has been elected to
Congress from tbo Richmond district,
has beon interviewed and found to be,
like tbo other leadura of tho war,
sound to tbo Union as it is and shull
remain. Ho said, among other things :
"The South is now as close a part ol
tbo Union as is Now England. Vir
ginia has tho samo Interest in the gen
oral prosperity of tho country as Mass
achusetts, and her Representatives and
tho Representatives of tho South will
bo found to bo as active in support of
all measures tending to the general
good of all sections ol tho country as
the gentleman fiom Maine or Ver
mont." White Douse Ieabs. U. course
there are chords in the human heart, no
difference how palpable ibe lurceny of
tbo Presidency may seem to Iho out
side world. Tho voracious Boston f oat,
good enough authority, says that when
Emma Abbott called at tbo White
House tbe other evening, Mrs. Hayes
brought in tbo hymbooks and lequcs
ted Miss Abbott to sing. She sang
"Show pity, Lord, oh, pity bIiow," with
such pathos that Hayes ''wept like a
baby." It's strangol "Tho govern
mont family" visited a dozen of horse
roocs this full, and wo have no evidence
that it wept on either occasion. Thcso
White Honso tears should havo beon
bottled and preserved.
Avaricious. Uno would suppose
that after tho Radicals havo bad full
control of tho morals and politics of
any large ctty for twenty years, that
their party friends would bo moral,
bigh toned and decent. But it scorns
that "moral ideas" are a fuiltiro in Chi
cago that Radical Eden and It can
now go up hoad for puro rndei.ess. To
illustrate, a dispatch from Chicago
says: 'Sheriff elect, John Hoffman, ot
this county, has nearly 4,000 appli
cations for position. in his office, and
as there are only forty-eight places to
give away, he baa ample material from
which to chnoso,"
Ben Butler has not got down so low
yet but that he does occasionally tell
the truth. He onlightoned a Boston
crowd the other day by saying: "With
the exception of three States the I!o
publican party is in tho minority In
evory State in tho Union. And this
is the party which hopes to elect a
Prosldont In 1880.
Bad roR Athens. An exchango
says: Boston having voted largely for
Butler at the late election, the title of
"Athena ot America," will be tempo
rarily transferred to Capo Cod out of
respect to tba feelings of tbo Beacon-
street arisfoci-ary,
COI.ONER DWIflllT INSl'HES Ills LIFE FOR
OVta A QL'AHTKU OF A MILLION, AND
THEN, IT IS CHAIttlF.D, SLOWLY
CAUSF.S tils OWN DEATH.
Tbo oRlcers of the various life insur
ance companies of Now York wero
slurtled by the announcement of the
deuth of Colonel Walton Dwigbt, of
llinglmmton, N. Y., tbut gentleman
having just secured insurance of bis
lit'o fiir n vast Bum exceeding 8250,.
'DoOri'iiu circumstances connected with
thu case aro so puculiur and the sum
involved so largo tbut il bids fair to
become tlio most celebrated ol many
alleged attempts to impose upon life
iisuiunco companies.
WHAT IS AI.LF.llED.
Col. Walton Dwigbt was one of tbo
most prominent citizens ol ningunm-
tun, and the "Dwigbt block" and the
Dwigbt Hotel are well known all
ver tho country. Col. Dwigbt, it i
alleged, expended bis fortune in I lie
erection ol those buildings. When
Ibe lull ol rent estate cumu bo sutleruu
heavy losses and lust summer was
bankrupt. In tbo latter part ot Sep

take policies for ulinost uny amount,
but insisted ibut all the premium pay
ments should bo made duo quarterly.
In less than three months bo succeed

THE FlIIST ALARM.
Tbo United States lile company, of
New Yolk, wiib tbo first to become
ulumied ut tbo vast amount of insur
ance Col. Dwigbt wus accumulating
11 is nutno was becoming famous in lite
insurance circles, but bo scorned to be
a bale and hcittly man, and answered
all questions frunkly. Tbo Unitod
Stutes Life examined his career, and
found bo hud been sick and suffering
I ruin homorrhugo of the lungs, An
agent wus sent lo Binghamton, who
nuw Col. Dwigbt and asked bim il ho
ever bad bleeding of the lungs. Ho
answered in tho affirmative, but said
bo did not think Ibe matter of suffi
cient iinporlf.nco to Buy anything
about il when he filled out his appli
cation for insurance. Tho agent in
formed him that bo had not made a
L ru Hit it 1 report of his physical condi
tion and that the company would at
once cancel bis policy, but return
bim tho full amount ot the premium
he had paid, with interest to dale.
NOT TO nE BUI.L-1107'.ED.
Dwigbt refused the offer and said ho
wus mil to bo bull dozed by tbe insur-
... . t .
unco compuiitca. Colonel Dwight bad
then just returned Irom a protracted
lour with his gun in the woods on a
dump and loirgy day. lie looked Very
sick and nervous, Inquiry revoaL-d
the fact that Col. Dwiglii the previous I
duy bud stripped off his clothing and
swam across tbo Susquehanna river
four limes ; that he bud rambled about
tho woods day alter day without food,
and was endeavoring in every possible
way to ruin bis bealln. these tacts
were madu known to the lilo tnsur
unce companies, and there was a rush
to liinghuinlon of doctors and detec
tives. Before uny other company,
however, could tender him his monoy
or cancel bis policy Col. Dwight died
of reported beinonhago of the lu ngs.
LIFE COMPANIES THEORIES AIIOL'T
DEATH.
Tho theory of tho life companies is
that Col. Dwight made up his mind to
terminate his life within three months.
No company received a second pre-mi-ti
in, all the payments were quarterly,
and as soon as bo obtained all tho in
surance possible ho began to destroy
his lilo ; that, finding bo was likoly to
live until Iho second premiums becamo
due, ho hastened Ms death by poison.
The insurance men bold a busty con
sultation and sent up two physicians
lo hold a post mortem examination ol
tho remains and tbe stomach will bo
secured for medical analysis. It ap
peurs that Col. Dwighl's family phy

ied the Governor's reason for signing

btlily rested with tho Governor, it
might bo necessary to make a careful

the Governor's duties wero entirely
ministerial. After the refusal ot the
Board of Pardons to recommend a par-
lon or commutation, the Governor bus
no more responsibility in tho mutter, in
issuing the warrant, than the Sheriff
has in executing it, when il shall come
into his hands "Iho acts of both tol
