SENA TOR YOORIJEKS ON THE
CONFEDERATE BRIGADIERS,
UYI'OCniST OP THE BTALWABT RADICAL..
From Speech in tbe Benate, June ltfth.
Lot us goo a liltlo further, however,
about this daiin-rouii purson called tho
Confederate iiriesdiur. Who firtit
brought him hcrer Who is responsi
ble lor the introduction ol the Con
federate lirifadior to tho theatre of
national politics 1 Southern gontlo
riten around mo on this floor are here
lecauso they thought tho country was
restored to jta normal relations; that
tho States were rehabilitated under the
Constitution ; that each Htato had the
right to select i IB own repreeenatives
in loth branches of Congress and that
they wore not compelled to ask leave
to como of any set ol men from any
part ol the country.
tiontlenian, 1 welcome you. You
are right in being here. on ure met
however by a party of violent unwel
come, with abuse and denunciation
burled as a Uey noto to parly warfare
by the great Senator from Now York,
and iollowcd up by all tho Senators on
that side of the chamber. Sir, there
is something duo to history on this
subject. Js tho Confederate soldier
unlit to tako part in tho afl'aira of this
government: or is it in fact only tho
Confederate soldiers who votes the
Ilcmocratic ticket to whom you object.
Is it tlio Confederate soldier pit se, or
does the objection to him only arise
when he votes tho Democratic ticket ?
II a Confederate soldier votes the Re
publican ticket, and indorses all the
rascality that overwhelmed tho south
as a deluge during carpet bagism, do
you not embrace him 1 Tell me when
you have ever spewod such a one out
of your mouths, lell ine when you
ever repulsed him from your warmest
and most cffcctionate political embrace.
Nono such havo over been cast out by
tho Republican parly. , On tbo con
trary, all such have had scats uf dig
nity and robes of honor assigned.
It is but a little while ago sineo A
Confederate brigadier first took part
in the eonlrol ol publio ufl'uirs. lie
was invited to uo so by luo candidate
of the stalwarts for tho next Presi
dency, General Grant Grunt appoint
ed Brigadier General Amos I. Aker-
man, ol uoorgia, to a scat In bis cabi
net. A majority ol tbo Hcpublican
Senators sitting bore to-day on their
oaths voted to confirm him as the first
law offlcerof this Government. Tbey
gave it lo him to construe. the Consti
tution ; to interpret the'laws ; to render
decisions bonding lor years and per
haps lor all tuno. General brant put
into the hands ot Confederate Briga
dier General Amos I. Akprman the
Sortfolio of justice, and a Republican
onato confirmed him; and wiiyf not
because ho was groatly learned in the
law. Nor did they object when he
carried a sword and killed whom ho
could, undor the Confederate flag; he
voted tbo Itepublican ticket and that
was enough ; it washed away all bis
Bin, and made him clean and pure in
their eyos, though his sins had been
as scarlet bolore.
Another Instnnco nearer homo in
lime and place occurs next to my
mind. 1 know what profound satis
faction 1 will afford to the Senator
from Now York Mr. Conkling when
I uauso lor a tnoment to pronounce
eulogy upon the prosent administra
tion. 1 know tue appreciation wnicn
his robust intellect has of the patriotic
and comprehensive capacities of tbo
administration now in power. 1 know,
therefore, ho will bo grateful lo me for
calling attention to tho I'uet that al
though ho has arraigned us fur the
disproportion of Confederation Briga
diers in this body to tho Union Briga
diers or Major Generals, rot tbisfavor-
ito administration ol bis has con 11 ilea
ono of its very imporlanl cabinot port
folios to another Confederate liriga-
dior, General Key, of Tonnossco. I
havo no word ol disparagement lor
General Key or Goneral Akorman. I
am not hero to abuse or denounce
these men for changing their politics ;
thev had a right to do so. 1 uo say,
however, tbat Senator on the other
side, aftor voting to confirm those men
lor position, of tho very highest pub
lio importance, have not the shadow
of a right to assail ns for welcoming the
Southern Senators wbo aro on mis
floor.
General Key drow bis sword under
the flag of tho South and long lit
through the war, lie then came to
the Senate, and whilo hero mado a
speech. I refer to it now principally
to show bow much the Senator from
Now York has forgiven, lo exhibit that
gracious pbaso of his character which
some do not know of as well as I do,
to illustrate that his forbearance and
charity aro as broad as the mantle
that covers all sin. General Key
spoke just before he was appointed to
the place he now holds. Commenting
upon mat vory memorauie neiti ui
testimony wherein Klia Pinkston
covered herself and the Republican
party with infamy, and while arraign
ing John Sherman for being thit pat
ron of that paragon falsehood, the
present Postmaster General on this
floor, on the 18th day of December,
1876, used this language:
'And on this testimony, the raise-
hood ol which I, 80 apparont on its
face, a State is lo be dislranchised, and
a President, whom the people never
elected is to be placed in office."
1 told vou. Mr. l'residont, 1 would
provo how generous the charity of the
Senator from New York has been.
Within but a few day, of his appoint
ment and confirmation, the present
Pn.tm.atnr fiAflAnal Ant Old? an-
nonnred that the present President of
IE L I)
the Unitod States waa not elected
President by the poople at all, but
further, that tboro waa a plot to foist
him into that office by disfranchising
a Stato through the instrumentality
of wholesalo falsohood. lie has nover
recanted this truthful statement that
1 know of J suppose he has agroud
to vofo tho Republican ticket, and
dotibtless bo does so. I presumo it
wits on that condition that a Republi
can Senate confirmed the Confederate
Brigadier with an additional handicap
in tho shapo ol the speech 1 havo read
from.
Mr. Conkling. now does the Sena
tor strotch my charity ovor that ?
Mr. Voorboos. Because 1 havo
heard that ringing voice which God
has given the Senator from Now York
in denunciation of that appointment.
1 therefore supposed ho had condoned
tho offense enumerated by mo, I
think the word "condone" a litter
word in this connection, all things
considered, than "forgive." Tho Sen
ator has been unsparing in bis assulls
because of our afllliation with tho men
of tho South, whilo tho administration
of his party appoints not mcroly a
Confederato Brigadier, but ono who in
IhiB presence said that your President
nover was elected by tho people, that
ins claim to mat great olllcer rested
on wholesale falsehood and threatened
tho disfranchisement of a State.
Passing on, however, I Invito Sena
tors to take a walk with me through
tho South, startinir from tho Potomac.
1 will promise still further to illustrato
tho BhamclexB, baro-faced, fulso preten
sions of the Republican party on this
subject. As soon as we cross tho Poto
mac wo at oneo find a federal Judge
holding an ofiico for life in Virginia.
I Bhall not seek todisnarago his ability
or his character, but he was an origi
nal Secessionist and tho editor ol a
Secession paper when tho war broko
out. 1 allude of courso to JihIl'o
Iliighcs. Ho is now where he con
strues tho laws of tho United Stales
throughout a wido oxtianso of country
and over a largo and intelligent popu
lation. Ho was appointed by a Re
publican administration, continued by
a Republican Senate, confirmed by the
voices ol tnoso who havo since burled
their anathemas in our cars bocauso
wo wolcomcd you, and you, Southern
Senators, to this floor. They havo
welcomed Confederate offlcors to tho
bench and to tho cabinet; they bavo
welcomed them to foreign missions ;
they have wolcomcd them lo oflicial
positions of every description, on the
one solo condition that they would
voto Ibo Republican tickot. Party
iolilics controls this whole matter,
rt'hen thoy voto the Republican ticket
tbey are your Brigadiers ; when they
voto the Democratic ticket thoy aro
our Brigadiors.
My purpose must not bo misunder
lood. 1 am not producing any of
these names here to assault them ; I
am simply using them to illustrato a
policy so crooked and ,0 outrageous
that it deserves exposure, and shall
havo it.
Here, next, is another Yiruinian.
John S. Mosby. Who was John S.
Mosbyf I know him well. 1 speak
no unkind word of him, yet I can re
member when it was a question whoth
er his surrender would bo received,
whether be would be accepted as a
prisoner of war or whether lie should
be outlawed from tho general amnesty
which the government was then ex
tending. There was a time when tbo
namo of Mosby shook tho (ears ol men
in this capitul. Tboro was a lime
when it was supposed he fought under
a black flag and that It could somo-
times be seen from tho dome in the
soil sunlight of an afternoon. It was
thought that his warfaro partook of
the nature of the guerilla, and such a
belief largely prevails to this hour.
But all is forgiven now ; not only for
given, but vorily this most oflensivo
Confederate warrior has his rich re
ward. Ho embraced Radicalism, and
it in return embrucod bim. Instead
of some wounded Koderal soldier oc
cupying the pusilion this Republican
Senate has confirmed John S. Mosby
as counsel at Hong Kong, and be is
now "un American ropreseutativo to
tho oldest empire on earth ; he is
among tho Celestials.
Ibo traveler In passing through
Virginia naturally visits Norlb Caro
lina next. We will do tho samo.
Thomas Settle, of North Carolina, is
now a District Judgo of the United
Stales, a lilo office of rank and impor
tance. It is doubtless true that Judge
Sett I o is a competent man ; 1 am told
he is by both the Senators from that
Stato, but ho was an officor of tho
Confederato krmy. Ho was a Seces
sionist ; ho fought tho battles of Seces
sion ; be turned to be a Republican,
and was mado President of tho lie
publican National Convention which
nominated Grant in 1872, at Philadel
phia. Aftoi ward ho was mado Minis
tor to Porn, and ho now occupies a
high judicial station. I proclaim hero,
as fur as my voice will go, that tho
most profitable speculation a man who
fought in the Confederato army can
now cngago in is to advortiso hiinHcll
ready to entor the ranks of tho Re
publican patty at a fair compensation.
Governor Uoldon, of North Caro
lina, was an original Secessionist and
a signer of the ordinance of Secession
which took Norlb Carolina out of tho
Union. Tbe Republican party, as
soon aa he joined its ranks, its unhol
lowed ranks down there 1 will not
quite apply that word to It up here
made him Governor of the State. He
remained Governor until he was im
peached ; but proven crimoa ditl not
seem to disgrace bim with the Repub
licans. Sinco thon ho boa been ap
pointed postmaster at Raleigh and
confirmed by the Senate, and be is
thoro now at a good wholosomo salary.
Every weak or treacherous man in
tho South who for thame or fur love
oi gain dosiro to adendon his friends
and prey upon hia own pcoplo is thus
rewarded.
Take the Barringcrs ; one of them
is a Unitod States judge in Egypt.
They wore Conloderates ; they aro
Republicans now, and thoy aro cared
for. The Unitod States District At
torney of North Carolina, Mr. Lnsk,
was an officer in the Confederate army,
and he was confirmed here. Ho was
confirmed by the Senators whoso souls
shrink from contract with a Confeder
ate officer unless he is a Republican.
Mr. Young was a Conloderato oflloer
and he is now one of tho Revenue col
lectors ol that State.
Going on down the Atlantie Coast
and wo strike South Carolina, tho land
of tho Marions, tbo Sumpters, the

A WOMAN'S LETTER.
Mary Clemmer is one of tho noted
Washington correspondents who bears
and bccs everything that goos on at
tho Federal Capital Tho following is a
portion of a recent letter sent to the
Now York Independent :
It is a common assertion hero that
some ot the hottest weather of tbe
season comes in Juno. True, it does.
Tho Juno of Virginia is the July of
Massachusetts, bet hero and thoro,
sot amid its fervors, is a perfect thry-
solilo of a day a day mado of amber
and azure, whon tbo vast spaces, far
as the sight can reach, are Hushed
with transparent nebulic, through
which the sunlight sifts with absolute
radiance, till the wbolo atmosphere
seems a limitless ocean of delicate, un-
lmagined hues, in which every objpe
from tho glancing sparrow to tho
donio of tho Capitol, the very earth
itsen seems to rout. apors veil the
Maryland and Virginia bMIs in super
nal purple, and even tho aecoitful Po
tomac glints with overy lint ot the
opal. Yet, strango to tell, tho charm
of charms in tho day is tho tonic in its
air "a southern day with northern
bluod in its veins." It is joy to livo, to
bask and ripen, to "mix your blood
with sunshine, to tako tho wind into
your pulses." Tho world is full of ex
pectancy, the onchnntment of youth.
Only your months on will wait tho
gathered harvests, tho serenity of ful
fillment, tho last lingering radiance of
a glory gone by. But to day is Juno.
lis charm is the sense ot inextingulsb
ablo youth. Children are not children
long. Men and women fade. Tbe
world grows old ; yot every twelve
months is repeated the mlraclo of re
juvenation. Again and again we live
through tho delightful surprises of na
ture's painless births: behold anow
tbe genesis of beauty ; face, as Adam
faced them with astonished joy, a now
heaven and a new earth. It will come
the satiety ot summer, its languors,
its weariness. Dust will cover this
virginal freshness of the world ; the
season will decline ; you with it. Never
mind. Health, power, youth is na
ture's to-day and yours. If with her
you wano, with hor you will live
again. Ibine and mino id tho eterni
ty of youth.
I he lapilol bas Its own charm
theso early summer days. From the
goddess of liberty tho great dome
itself, which day aftor day persists in
floating out into the luminous atmos
phere down to tbo grand rotunda, so
slrangely, sweotly clean, it bath its
charm. No hurrying crowds in the
corridors. Loiterers sit on the settee,
in tbo rotunda and watch the venera
ble Brumidi, bearing tbe weight of
seventy years, on a scaffolding far
aloft in the dome, whore ho is painting
tho wonderful frescoes which will boar
bis namo down to posterity. It is so
pleasant to Boo clean tiles under your
leet ; to have plenty of room. The
doors of tho Senate gallery stand wido
open ; and going in, you find in it ils
UBual summor occupants. Tho pretty
girls, in fresh muslins, who come to

spinster, who glories In looking su

Thon tho Scnuto gallery is tho chosen

traordinary fondness for tlio affairs ot
the nation, It Is wondorlul the hours
and days these pairs spend in gazing
down on these not over-interesting
looking laMf-givers, oflen holding long
and nut entirely private discussions on
tboir lavorito Senators. Besides theso,
thoro are thoso specimens of the crea

winter they charter a back, fill it oitcn

sally forth to mako formal calls, telling
their driver "to stop wherever ho socs

invitation, lo formal reeeplions, and
astonish the natives of Shadville by
bearing back lo that odoriferous town
visiting cards bearing upon them in
scribed "The Secretary of War" "The
Socrotary of tho Navy," "The Attor
ney General," Ac, astonishing thoir
bogom friends witb tho greatness ol

thinking il worth while to stato tbo
fact that said acquaintances never sot

social distinction still walk tbe earth
in squads. It is very bad for me, whon
I alight in their neighborhood; for
thoy talk so loud, to long, so fast, o
altogether, that 1 am oflon vexed and
always vanquished. Tbey come in to
watch tho Senators, and their remarks
on theso unfortunate men are 10 volu
ble and penetrating that not one word
uttered on the floor below can be
heard.
"If vou would speak a littlo lowor, I
could hear my brothor bottor," said
gentlo Mrs. Sherman, in despair, one
day to these cbaticrora. uut no mat

Well, they oo say . 1 non come, a
deep dish ol social scandal, served up
within bearing ol halt a doaon scale.
Thoso Senator, mar have outlived
the rapacity for astonishment; but, if
not, they would jump into mo air
sometimes to hear tbe stones told or
them in the galleries.
Like the day. the nailery this morn
ing Is dcliciously cool. Winnowed ot
beat, tho sunshine sift, down through
the mellow root of tinted glass. Jl
and there a lazy fly drone, through
the bar, ol amber slanting downward
to the seat,. Tho tongue, wagging

there an old lady, by hor lord, hor

made them quiet. The mock battle is
over; the litre oi fighting ft.r the

left for him to do but to go home lo
Georgia a tall, clean, ministerial man
in aspect, with a eloae-eut gray beard,
A resoluto mouth, and large light blue
eyes, full ot meditative, introvorled
light. Ho ba, the drawl and whine
of a Methodist exhortor (which, I be
lieve, he is), and even pummels Blaine
with something ol the unction ol
"Thus saith tho Lord."
Near him sits Lamar, of Mississippi,
considerably "drossod up" this morn
ing, with immaculate linen, hi, long
locks smoothly combed, bis careworn
face with a shadow lees ot pain in it.
For some reason, tbe post year Lamar
has sat down in tbo shadow ol Uordon
and Hill, speaking far less than he
used to in tbe House. In cultivation
bo outstrips tbem both, a, be docs by
fur tbe average Southorn man. Nor
should we ever forgot that bi, eulogy
on Sumner was as just as it was elo
quent. Gordon sits near him, far tailor
and prouder in bcuring, full ol vanity
and of saber cuts caught in Confeder
ate battlo. One shows plainly on his
lace. Hi, straight black bair is brush

brow. II is nose is inclined to bo snub.
Altogether ho is a fine, without boing
an impressive looking man. Butler,
of South Carolina, is tar handsomor ;
but of tbat drawing-room typo of beau
ty which through Iho flattery of wo
man, is very apt to make out of a man,
unless ho forswears it, a parlor knight
a man in tho prime of life, who
looks woll-tod, a, well aa well-bred,
with smooth, fine features, a tempora

Iho regards ol Republican Senators
than any other Southern man in the
Senate, unless it be Wado Hampton,
also of South Carolina. Strango that

Southern Senatorial flock. Wado
Hampton sits on tho outer edge ot the
Dcmocratio side, vory neur Thurmun,
showing visibly the effects of the great

Wo look tiussa.e on Monduv morn

(now a student of that institution) and
driven to the Normal School, which is
near two niilos distant from the busi
noss portion ol the city. Tbe location
oi tbe building is without a parallel in
tbe state, or perhaps tbe V nitod States.
Uur first impression, as we stood view
ing the spleudor oi the surrounding
mountains and beautiful valloy beneath,
beggars description. Un a high eleva
tion of land overlooking the Susque
hanna river, immediately above the
island, the elevation is above tbo
beiL'bt of the tree, upon the onooBite
mouotains, and is such as to give tho
-peciaiur a viuw ui lue ontiro town
and the beautiful valley tbat lies below
tne city.
Insido, tbe building i, a model ol
oonvenieuoe and neatness. A good
parlor, reading-room, diniug-hall, and
chapel, are praiso-wortby apartments.
Alter calling on the ladies and gen
tlemen In attendance Irom this county,
wo were ushered into tbe presence ot
tbe laculty and tbe mombors of the ex
aminining Board, to engage in testing
the work oi 1 roi. iiauh and his Assis
tants. At 8 o clock tbat morning, a
class oi sixteen ladies and Beventoon
gentlemen was arraigned 'in the pros
ence oi sucn examiners as Dr. Brooks,
Dr. Wickersham, Sup't Jlouck, and a
fow minor aids from Clearfield and sur
rounding countios. We wcro not the
lease surprised to find seniors all un
nerved fur tbo scourging ordeal before
them. Tbo ladies especially were
frightened, and some evon shed tears
when the Intellectual bnttorics opened
upon them. The examination lasted,
lib liltlo intermission, until about V
o'clock tho next evening, at which
time both sludonts and examiner, were
Bomowhut exhausted, it is commend
able that tbo zeal and earnestness
manifested by the class, and tbe thor
ough training, evinced in every phase
ot the examination. No ono grow
weary and loll by the wayaido until
Dr. Brooks with bis gigantio mathe
matical faculties poured fourth a vol
ley of arithmetical "grape and canis
ter," producing a profound sensation
in the company of jubilant aspirants,
and forestalling many fond hopes in
the hearts of some who wore net en
dowed with laculties adapted to that
science. Amid the dark terror of Ibis
cloud, the familiar words, "1 am afraid
I won t pass, . were whispered from
one to another, and a despondent ex
pression took tbo place ot the anima
ted countonance, of a fow minutes be
fore. Following tbe examination in
mathematics was tbat of teaching in
the Model School. In a Stat, Normal
School, a great deal of premium is
placed upon this important part of the
teacher's training.
Tbe seniors were filed into the
Model School, and one by one they
were called np by Mr. Wickersham to
present to the Board their skill in
teaching. The subjects assigned, upon
which they were required to drill the
pupils, were very difficult, and in tho
presence oi the Stato Superintendent,
who questioned tbem pretty closely,
embarrassment was almost inevitable.
However, tbey shewed tbat their
training in that direction bad not been
neglected, and some admirablo recita
tion, wore conducted.
This conoluded the examination,
and aftor supper the Board of Exam
iners filed into tbe parlor to pas, upon
tbe merits ot tbo applicants, while
without, in groups here and there,
stood thirty-two uneasy candidates
eagerly waiting for the verdict. Vari
ous speculations wore indulged in as
each in turn reviewed the rugged path
that he or she had passod over. About
eleven o'clock the bell was rung, and
all gathered in the recitation room,
wben Dr. Wickorsham, in a neat and
pointed speech announced the result.
mis waa loiiowed with numerous
congratulations, and sympathy for
some who wore consoled by being re
minded tbat "ll at first you don't suc
ceed, try, try again."
It is only instice to say for all that
thoy did exceedingly well, and showed
that their efforts had not been in vain.
It also shows that Prof. Raub is not
only managing tbo financial affairs of
tbe institution creditably, but is doing
a noblo work in developing the talents
of those whom bo instructs. It is with
feelings of honest pride that wechron
iclo tho fact that out of the number
graduating, threo aro young men from
our own county, and what is moro
gratifying, thoy stood among th, first
in tbe clans, graduating with a unani
mous voto of the Board. Their namos
are as follows: S. E. Fisher, of Kart
han, township, and Wesley and 1. L.
JncLiarren, or Ifecatur township. Mr.
W. C. Pontz, of Brady township, is
now President oi the Price Literary
Society, and is filling his position in an
able manner.
There are over 250 students in the
school, and its prospects for largo ad
ditions next summer are very good.
A visit ot two day,, or week, will
satisfy any one of the magnifioent sys
tem and complete management of the
school. They have an excellent Board
of Tru"t, ol which Governor Biglor,
of this place, i. President The onity

assurances ot strength and power, and
if tbey aucceed next year in getting
a, cultured and refined a class ot stu
dents as tbey have at prcaent, we can
expect to hear a very flattering report
from our Normal School.

Mr. Mundella referred, in tbe Course of

teachers of tbe United Slates, when
Mr. Mills indulged in a sneer and
doubled tbat the custom waa one that

well visit to Goat Island, as she bad
enjoyed most tbe mugiiiliuent scenery
from that point. They left their bote!
at about ! o'clock, and le snrely walked
orer the bridge, faking the right hand
road around the island. They stopped
on I.una Island, at tho Cave ol the
Winds, and also paid a vist to the point
formerly occupied by the Terrapin
Tower. Thoy woro in high spirits and
enjoyed the glorious scenery to the
fullest degree from the brink of the
precipice. Thoy moved slowly np the
river bank, ever and anon stopping to
take farewell glancos until tbe Three
Sister Islands were gained. They cross
ed tbo first bridgo, and in duo timo al
so paused on to the last Bister, from
which the view np the river i, grand
boyond tho powors of description. For
a long time thoy sat upon a log silent
uu aumiraiion anu men turned to
retraco their footstep,.
As they wore about to step upon the
bridge leading from the third Sistor,
thoy discovered the stairs leading dowd
to the right of the bridge, looking to
wards tbe Canada shore. Anxious to
behold all the beauties of tbo falls,
thoy descended the few stops, and, r.s
thoy did so, mot two gentleman who
were coming up. 1 hoy also saw a boy
dipping a cup of water from the rivor,
which he drank, and then followed al
lot the gentleman referred to. A short
distance from the fow stops leading
down nsxlor the trees the island end,
abruptly, tho edge of the bank above
the water being about one foot in
height Distant only a few feet is still
another island, vory small, and to which
access is impossible. Between tbe
third Sister and this little island tbo
water flow, with great velocity, and it
was thore that Mrs. Holland saw the
boy dip up the cup of water. Filled
ith a strango desire to drink Irom
old Niagara, Mrs. Holland asked hor
husband for bis traveling cup, which
he took from its morocco case and
banded to ber. As ho gavo it to her
be stopped back a few feet to get a
belter viow of the rivor abovo, aud as
he did so she stooped over the abrupt
bank lo fill her Bilvor cup. A mo
ment passed, and then a blood-curd
ling shriek was heard abovo the rush
and roar of the waters, and the hus
band turned just in time to see bi, wife
topped for an instant and plungo head
long into the resistless torrent The
husband rusbod to the brink of the
bank, but be wa, powerless. In a
brealh she wag, washed away upon the
crest ot the descending water, and a
moment latter disappeared Irom viow.
The grid stricken huBband stood and
gazod oiler his late companion, and a
moment allerward saw ber appear up
on tbe surface a fow rods below. Her
white face was for an Instant turned
toward heaven, and the next instant
her body was caught in the rosistlees
fury of the undertow and awopt away
forever.
Tbe husband, frantio with grief,
rushed madly back to the restaurant
and into tbe presenoe of the proprie
tor, batloB, and out of breath, exclaim-
ng in F roncb : "My God I My God I
My God I" On being asked what the
matter was he clutched his hair and
sobbed : "My wife I my wifo I my
darling Matbildel" A, soon as he
was able to explain be cave tbe facia
already related and watches were sot
to recover the body should il appear in
the river bolow.
This alter noon the San correspond
ent bad a talk with Mr. Holland, and
from him learned his history and that
of his wile. Two years ago Mr. Hol
land was married in Paris to Matbilde

has been a continual honeymoon.
Wherever he went she wont also.
Leaving Pari, after the Exhibition

past eight months have visited India,
China, Japan, San Francisco, Chicago
and Niagara Falls. The blow to tho
husband is overpowering, and can only
weep and exclaim : "My poor Mathil-
do my poor Mathildel" Mrs. Hol
land was 25 years of age and is reput
ed to havo been a vory handsome wo
man. Hor husband is 44 year, of age,
and is a prominent manufacturer of

most forlorn hope ot recovering tbe
romains of bis wifo.

remarked a voice in tbo rear ot the

He aoorned to notice the interrup

The tools were banded to him, and
he scrutinized them witb deep interest.
"Yon lay yon worked as a brick

orator.
