Shet liy n Widow.
That Is a very het shot poured Inte
Mr. Blalne'a side at close pistol range by
his neighbor, Mrs. Let M. Merrill. Mr.
Drewn, of Ohie, has been done very
brown, and Mr. Blaine, of Maine, Is very
badly scorched by Mr. Brown's under
taking te summon Senater Merrill te the
work of bolstering up Mr. Blaine's repu
tatlen in Ohie. Mrs. Merrill's statement
of what her husband's opinion of Mr.
Blalne was will be universally accepted
as true, drawn out naturally as It has
been by Mr. Brown, of Ohie. It she
had volunteered the statement of her
dead husband's opinion about the Ho He
publican candidate, there would have
been some room for the Republican
press te decry her act as unwomanly
and unwifely, because there are a gee t
many people who think than women
should net obtrude themselves en public
attention and who might think that it
was wrong in her te uncover her hus
band's grave te expese te the public his
confidentially expressed opinion of Mr.
Blaine. But when Mr. Brown, for a
Republican committee, called for Mr
Merrill's testimony, what Republican
organ can say that Mrs. Merrill should
net have given It ?
This testimony is very valuable. It
Is well known that a great mauy Re
publican statesmen think of Mr. Blaine
as Mr. Merrill did, but for the sake of
their party and their position in it they
refrain from declaring their opinions
new, and many of them even se far
sacrifice their self-respect as te proclaim
him geed, when they believe him bad.
Senater Edmuuds is en record of old in
condemnation of Blaine, but he has net
the courage as yet te reiterate his opinion
since Blaine has been his partj's
candidate. Mr. Cenkllng thinks badly
of him, but he is silent as being out of
politics. There are many ether promi
nent Republicans who forbear te assail,
and force themselves te sustain Blaine,
because he is their part) 'a candidate. It
is a most natural position, and perhaps
they are net te be severely blamed for it
in the present coudltien of political
ethics, wherein it is established that
when a man has been invested with his
party's candidacy his multitude of sins
are coveted as with a mantie,and for the
sake of the party which sustains him
they must net bi uncovered by the
faithful.
These tdhics have net penetrated the
female mind. "Women are uet
permitted te be politicians. The wives
of statesman are their cenQdauts, and
sometimes, as in the cese of Mrs. Legan
their engines and boilers. When they no
come widows, they are freed from the in
riuences which restrained their husbands'
lips from speaking the truth as they saw
it about men aud things; they are le
solved te their natural tundency te see
things as they are and te speak of them
as they incline. Mrs. Merrill, ludigtiaut
that a man who steed in her husband's
path and offended his sense by dishonest
de icea te climb te wealth and power,
lets loose in her widowhood her hus
land's judgment of the baseness which
elftuded him, in homage te the love of
truth, purity and honor which the
.Almighty has implanted in women,
1 beve men, and which makes us
sometimes think that the ruling of the
world has been given te the wrong sex.
V.n. Blaine has suffered another
mesvvjnal and terrific rebuke in the
letter bitten te an Ohie coin
mittee by tt widow of his distinguished
predecessor inunlted States snai.
Let M. Meirill win.a U13 day aud that
net a remote one-n,try prominent
leader of his party in Mvb. jje had
been for many j ears senator, ,iien ue
became secretary of the treasury, iie
died from the evertask of faithful npvU-
eatien te the duties of that place. An
Uhle committee recently wrote a letter
and addressed It te him, urging that he
come out there and testify en the stump
in refutation of the charges against
Blaine. Mrs. Merrill expresses herself
very much shocked at such a request ;
but, deeply as she mourns her husband's
death, she says she is thankful he was
called home " before the party he loved
ee well and did se much for hadsedis
graced itself as te nominate se wicked
and corrupt a mau for the highest cilice
within the gift of the American people,
as I knew and my husband knew James
G. Blaine te be." And, speaking for her
dead husband, she says that " if he
were alive he would net support Mr.
Blaine or any such man, even at the
bidding of his party." Ne doubt the
New Yerk Tribune aud the Philadelphia
rrcss and ether Republican scandal,
mongers will discover that Mrs. Merrill
is net a geed woman.
In view of the answer which the In
diana Sentinel makes te Uir charge of
libel, preferred against it by Mr. Blaine,
it becomes necessary for such or his
friends as have been making an ado ever
the "Cleveland scaudal" te disprove
the charges against him or te abandon
support of his cause. The New Km, for
instance, of this city ; the New Yerk In
dependent and the Philadelphia rress,
which has conspicuously peddled anew
the Buffalo story, are new confronted
with a circumstantial and well subatan
Hated story of the same kind against
Blaine, except that it is immeasurably
worse. The records made by Mr.
Blaine's own family are the authority
for the atery, which is brought te the
noses of these pious scavengers and po
litical eunuchs by their own conduct.
New let us hear what they have te say
De they deny the facts ? De they justify
or mitigate the offense ? De they plead
the statute of limitations V What is their
position r This Is net a Democratic at
fair. The Journals of that party have
insisted that the facts about Mr. Cleve
land, as disclosed, did net affect his fit
ness for public otlleo ; but the New Era,
the l'rtts and the Independent have
taken what they pretend te believe Is
higher ground, and have set up a stand
ard which sacrifices Mr. Blaine terribly.
They must new eat their own words or
drop their candidate.

has been turned ever te Mrs. Prank
Lcslle, who seems te be able te accom
modate a vast naruber of literary found
lings and te nourish them Inte hearty
striplings. It is related that after doing
four men's work and spending untold
Bums Judge Teurgee's literary venture
is a failure, aud all sorts of explanations
are Indulged In about the miscarriage.
The simple truth is that Judge Teurgee
had no tralniug nor aptitude for his
work. He thought It was a sphere of
labor in which Ids duty was te keep his
own personality te the front. His
(Wincut was himself , and he was net
a great man by any means. Ills reputa
tion was accidental nud his abilities
were shallow. A train may be run at .1
high rate of speed and with rickety
machinery ever a bad read, but te run a
bread gauge car en a narrow gauge
track Is an undertaking that no well
regulated railroad man ever ventures
tien.

phjsicians say, lias come from .1 com

say that his unhappiiiess ever his politi
cal dl.i.tppeiutmeuts have ha 1 much te
de with it. He was serel affected by
his defeat for governor, when Cleveland
was elected by se overwhelming n ma
jority. He had net expected any such
result, of course, else he would net ha e
taken the nomination. It was, however,
known by nearly every one of any pelitl
cal sense te have been .1 great mistake,
se far as he was parson illy concerned,
when the nomination w 11 accepted by
him after the fraudulent maimer mw Inch
it was secured. He was deemed te defeat
from that hour ; and it ill accorded
with his respectability aud high pesi
tleu te take a nomination se
secured. It was in his hands
te strengthen himself with the
country by declining it while a shadow
of suspicion existed tint there was
fraud in its procurement. Doubtless it
was his self reproach at having made
this misstep and given himself into the
hands of his enemies in his own party
for destruction that caused his great un un
liappincssevcr the defeat which crushed
him politically lute atoms.

he was by no means unconscious.
The treasury department in Washington
will bj informally closed Friday, aud men

Charles James Felger was beru April
10, 1818, In Nantucket, .Mass., and at the
ae of 12 remeved with his parents te
Geneva, N. Y. He graduated at Uebart
college iu 1830, and was admitted fe the
bar of New Yerk state in 183'J. He
epeued a law otace in Geneva in 1810, aud
there held his drst public office, that of

Ontario county Irem 1814 te 1855, wheu
be began te take au aetive part iu politics.
He was elected state senator in 1801 and
served eight years, most of the time as
president pre tern. He was recognized as
the Republican leader of the New Yerk
Senate, and rendered the state many im
portant public services. In 1808 President
urant appointed Jlr. reiger assistant
Vuiled htates treasurer in New Yerk city,
a pest he resigned te become associate
judge of the taergauized court of appeals,

was elected te that offlee in thu ensuing
fall by a haudseme majority. October 27,
1S81, he was appointed secretary of the
treasury by President Arthur, aud has
since held that position. His defeat by
Gretor Clevulaud as a candidate in 1832
for governor of New Yerk will easily be

The greatest light of the olictrie world
burst upon the Philadelphia Eletitrieal
Exhibition Thursday night. Net half a

bore the hubthng of the crowd se good geod goed

age, and that they weie brushing se famil

christened 'The Wizard or Jlonle rarK,"
the flashings of whose genius meet the
eje wherever it might gaze. Sir. EJisen
was acoempanied by his daughter.
While the "great wizard" was looking
at the synchronous multiplex instruments
he chatted for a few minutes. "This,"
said he, "is the tlrst electrical exhibition I
have ever seeu, although 1 have had large
exhibits at all of these which have pie
ceeded it. It leeks Ilke a pretty big thing
