The Herald is mistaken In part of Its story. There Is do such man as S; B. MeCalmont In Franklin and the gentleman who, by the initial letters, might be supposed -to be the prosecuting party, bas too much good seoae to sua a. newspaper. Venango Spectator. The Herald also stated the ball to be $ 500, whloh Is errooeous. As -that paper ires the first to publlsb the report against a "brother chip," we consider It no mora tban justice that they should set the matter right before toe public The Spectator Is right about tbe McCalmoot's ot Franklin. Tbey are too much or gentlemen to allow them selves to be mixed up la dirty little serspes like tbe one reported In tbe Rigobd, aad Jor-wblob that libel suit was Instituted. Mcan.

' There are a Dumber of gratifying eviden ces that our ooean carrying commerce Is about to experience a substantial revival, notably In Asiatio snd Pacific waters. Tbe development of our commetclul faoilities and relations witb tbe PaclOo coast is naturally giving rise to a number of now undertakings between the ports of (bat eoast and China, Japan and Australia. Nothing Is so prolific as commerce. New lines of railroad create new steamship lines, and these In turn bo get other facilities of communication and intercourse, until laod and sea are inter laced witb pathways for tbe distribution of tbs means and'stlmnlatlon of the -growt bof brotherhood of tbe world. Iu view oi the increase of trade thus promised in those seas, and of tbe consequent augmented wealth and importance which are likely to accrue, II would seem wise on our part not to neglect, nor even to defer, tbe cultivation and development of tbe Incipient commerce now existing between this country and tbe islands of tbe South PsciOo ocean. Many of these lie almost directly In tbe Hue of traffic between our Western ports and tbe countries of Asia and Australia. Sooner or later tbey are bound to become the bomes teeming Industrial populations, and that nation which Is now tbe first to plant tbe germs of commercial intercourse with tbem, will in all probability be also.the principal gather of its ripe frult-tage. A Sad History. . From the Louisville Ledger. Ida Jacobs waa lormeriy a beautiful wtf man and tbe honored wife of a goodcilizeo, who provided liberally for all ber wants aud gave ber a home of comfort aod plenty. lier attractive personal appearance made ber object ol the attentions of one in whose heart a scheme for ber ruin bad been laid, and a touch ol vaulty that made ber suscep tible to flattery was taken advantage of by tbis individual, who bad an accomplished wife to prepare ber for tbe gratification of bis base passion. Tbe vain and beautiful woman fell; her bvshand cast ber off, aod after a time ber seducer also discarded ber witb scorn. ' Ida Jacobs then commenced ber rapid descent to the bad; aod now, if ebe is still alive, is sunk to tbe lowest depths reached by "a woman of tbe town." On Sunday last, doubtless from the effects of her vices, she was stricken blind and ' helpless witb paralysis, and wneo onr reporter beard from ber tbis morning was lying la a wretched hovel in a filthy alley, unconscious of ber position and supposed to bo dylug. This is the change wrought by vice in a few brief years; from a once bright and bappy bnme, and loving, dntlog busband, to tbe lowest depth of disgrace and misery. At Clooiunati Ida Jucubs has a brother living, lie is a gentleman ot wealh and Id fluence and high social position, and bi name is Ilarriss. He was telegraphed for on Sunday and urged to come and do what might be done to aid bis fallen sister, or at least coolbe ber dying moments. But up to this morning be bad'nut arrived, nor bad any anawer been returned by him to tbe telegram It Is very likely-that poor Id v Jacobs, like many otber uufortuoates, will die alone and unmourned, witb no one even to elnse her eyes.
