Compliments to tea. McCandless.
One of the cmride--lu arm of General
McCandless, if t he; resigned kit com
mission rather that fight for the freedom
of, tlie tlacts, sends us the following
somewhat pertinent inquiries and cugges
tions, which are respectfully submitted
to the Democratic candidate for Auditor
General, now traversing Pennsylvania
and advertising for the votes of the "Lin -
colu hirelings :" '
"Will you be kind enough to ask the
following questions of Colonel 1 William
nvnw-iht-Wtod'iMaijfat thi, is happily
soldiers, ou the ground that he served
during the war in the Pennsylvania 'Re
serves : ; i.'i !' "
" Did you, Colonel McCandless. vote
for tlie soldier, J. T. Owens, lor Recorder
of Deeds of Philadelphia I
" Did you vote for General John F
Flartranft for Auditor General? '
" Did you rote for John V. Geary
for Governor ? 1 '': ;'
- Did you vote for U. 8. Grant ?
" A 11 these soldiers ran against well
known Copperheads men who opposed
the wiir; men who, when you were in
tbe field, with 'the elbow-touch when
death's brief pang was quickest.,' styled
yon aud the rest of the eoldiers of ihe
Uuiou army. Lincoln hirelings aud mur
ders;' who said we 'had no right to mur
der our dear Southern brctbern ;' who
said we 'had no right to coerce the
South ;' who said we 'had no right to
save the nation s life !'
"if the post of honor was the private
station in 1864 why do you ni-k the vo
tes of the soldier who said by their acts'
that the post of honor was where death s
brief pang was quickest ?
This) plea of ' because I was a soldier
in thu Union arms' is a, good plea from
men trho have stmk lo tlh-ir o'ors, but a
very poor plea for one who has joined
I the enemy lie fought as well as you did
for three years.
"A soldier who was with you in tbe Old
Reserves, and believes in the great prin
ciples . for which he fought the Union,
the Constitution, and the enforcement of
the laws, and equal rights for all men
everywhere asks these questions and
makes these suggestions Prets.
lilot in Ireland.
In Dublin, Ireland, on the afternoon of
tlie 6th inst., an attempt was mado to
hold a public meeting to demand the re
lease of the Irish "political prisoners.
The authorities attempted to prevent the
meeting and a riot followed. A despatch
says of it :
Smyth, member of Parliament ; Sulli
van, editor of the Ration and John Sul
livan Uryne, of the Irishman, entered
the park with a . large crowd. Police
Snpeiinteneut llaw. standing ou the
Wellington monument, ordered Smyth
and his followers to desist, when he was
hurled to the bottom of tbe monument
and fearfully maltreated, and a riot en
sued. The pol.'ce charged on the mob, and
beat and kicked men, women, and chil
dren indiscriminately. The fight lasted
half an hour, when the police, having
been reinforced, succeeded in dispersing
the rioters. Smyth, Sullivan, and a man
named Nolan were badly wounded, and
over a hundred wounded have been taken
to ' the hospitals. The authorities are
nrm in their determination to prevent
any meeting, and will prosecute the lea
ders of the attempt made to-day.
Late despatches state the number ol
killed to be forty-seven.

No poisoning mystery lately Las
awakened so great a general interest as
the Wharton-Ketcbum mystery of Balti
more. Every few days something new
regarding it is presented. Ilere is the
latest despatch regarding it :
Strong circumstantial evidence of t'ae
guilt of Mrs. Wharton wtll be developed,
and based on the reason why she vas
going to Europe It is alleged that he
eudeavored to poison the wife of a well
known merchant of Baltimore, who. with
his family, went to Europe some w-jeks
since to escape Mrs. hnrton s company
It is stated that Mrs Wharton had con
ceived a great affection for this lady's
hu-band, and that she was prepuring to
toiiow nim aooarn wnen suspicions cir
cumstances detained her. It is believed
that the evidence to be given from tbe
parties now in Europe will be rre con
elusive of the woman's guilt thiia all tbe
other testimony put together.
. The Lancaster Inquirer says a. singu
lar circumstance is related by a. ' Mont
gomery county paper : A Mr. Samnel
K. Stout was cutting grass with the ma
chine aud came on a hen partr idge seated
upon the nest, which did not stir till al
most touched by the cutter. There
were seventeen eggs in ber tiest, and up
on Mr. Stout returning to the spot an
hour after, 12 of tbim were missing. Sur
prised at tbe circumstances, Jlr. Stout
and a companion retired a little distance
and watched the parent bird take the
eggs, one by one, inhvr clawa and fly
to some distance witb. them 1 In this
manner she removed them two fields off
having to cross two five-rails fencea at
every journey, and breaking but two of
the seventeen.

to jail yesterday, at Milford, P.i , for

an inverted chair on one rail and wound
a chain repeatedly around the other, but
the engine passed safely over, and the

"A thousand pairs of gloves on Hub

a dashing woman of the man at her side.
" I think it a woman's bet " Apparent
ly for this reason alone this wager falls
to the ground. The most gorgeous crea
ture ou the platform is seen grasping an
immense roll of greenbacks She has
come to win or lose, and bears the reso
lution in her countenance of an English
duchess. Tier face and figure seem the
living personification of tbe hour. She
is a yellow blonde, lithe and slim as a
tigress. She is clad in silk the color of
the tawny mud of the Nile. Perfectly
audible to all around, she makes wagers
for gloves, wine, money. Alas ! alas !
fate is against ber. Her favorite horse
has lost the day. Her opponent, the
man who has won her money, looks cor
dial and smiling. She reaches forth a
roll of bills. ' ' What what does this
mean ?" inquires the innocent masculine.
"Don't you remember our bet ?''
"Why, I was only iu fuu."
. "You know very well we were not in
fun." .
"I was, I'm sure," masculine moving
off
The. feminine makes a spring and seizes
him by the arm. "You know very well
if 1 had won tbe money I should have
taken it. Here ; you have got to take
it." The man reluctantly yields, aud
Uncle Sam's promises to pay modestly

other things stored in it, together witb
other outbuildings, were totally destroy

family made a narrow escape from suf
fering the fate of the barn, as the fire had
extended to some parts of the house in
which they were sleeping, unconscious
of danger. When the persons on the
late train going south on the E. & P. It
R., saw the fire, they sounded the alarm,
but failed to awaken the iumates of the
dwelling until the men from the traiu
lorced open the door and aroused the

Thk other day au excessively humor

The victim retired aa nsual, and had

began to crawl over him. Paralyzed
with horror, he lay still until the snake
had left him, and then half dead with

ly bit one of the leaves , he fell ; in an
instant he was dead. She was accused of
poisoning the man she loved best on earth
and besought her judges to be allowed to
revisit'-, the fatal garden, promising that
she would show them how the thing was
done- They ' granted her prayer. 'It
was thn.' she said. Dlnckin? a flower.
She pnt it to her lips; her teeth just
preyed a leaf in an instant she was a
corpse.'
A Beastly Attack on a Ton Girt
On Sunday afternoon a brute iu huunn
shape mads an attack on a young girl
about ten year of age in the vicinity of
the Pennsylvania Lunatic Asylum and
outraged her person. The facts, as we
learn them, are that " Emma' Crommes,
daughter of Henryv Crommea, a farmer
in the neighborhood of the jwjlura, re
paired to a blackberry patch near by to
pick berries, and while so engsged a man
(?) named Henry Morton approached ber
and, taking advantage of her being alone,
overpowered her and ravished her. The
child returned to her home and stated the
facta of tbe case to her father, who im
mediately started for this city and made
information at the mayor's office against
the brute, who was represented to be an
attendant iu one of the wards of the
asylum.
In the meantime Officer Kelly learned
of the trausaction, and proceeded to the
asylnm for the purpose of arresting the
perpetrator of the outrage Upon find
ing his man, the officer demanded that he
should accompany him to the .Mayor's
office. Morton statca tnat ne wonia, out
that he must first lock the door of the
ward in his charge ; the officer allowing
him to do so he went to tbe door, opened
, . ,
it. and iumDios inside, slammed it to, and
it having a dcad-latch.. he waa safe, the
door being between him and the officer.
It was fully a quarter of in hour be
fore anything further conld.be done, and
in the meantime Morton made good his
escape through some of the other doors,
leaving officer Kelly to think upon the
deceitf'ulness of man and the nncertainty
of trusting too much to prisoners.
The villain, Morton, is described as
follows: Large, heavy man ; weighs ISO
or 200 pounds ; round, full face ; dark
brown hair ; heavy black moustache ;
striped pants ; short, dark blue sae'e coat;
barred vest; black cloth cap; about 5
feet 8, or 5 feet 10 ; between 23 aud 35
years of age ;. supposed to have left on a
train ; ha a mother living in Philadel
phia. Ilirri liirg Te'egraph.
The Western Cattle Blindness.
The Kansas City Tim's gives the fol
lowing particulars of thia disease as it
has appeared in Jackson county :
"In Independence there are thirty or
forty some of them the finest kind of
animals that have completely lost their
sisht, and are now wandering about iu
pitiful helplessness. In Westport tbe
disease is spreading rapidly. Along
down the line of the Memphis and Kan
sas City railroad the epidemic ia ragiug,
and iu Blue. Sni-a-bar and Lone Jack
townships the reports come np very
gloomily of the ravages of the strange
affliction. Iu Kausas City there are not
less than two hundred blind cows. Some
of the dairies have had in the last week,
fifteen bliud milkers at one time. The
eyes begin to swell a little, lasting geu-
aily from five days to two weeks. As
soon as the swelling commences the eye
also begins to run clear water, just as
though some hard aud foreign substance
was beneath the lids Afte.r the running
ceases, a bard white film covers the eye-
' v
balls, completely destroy iug the sight.
' r J Jo b
This disease does not seem to effect the
general health of the cow. Her appetite
is as good as ever. There appears to be
no change either in the quality or quan
tity of the milk, no pain, no uneasiness
of any kiud, no peculiar thirst indicating
fever, and indeed, no synitom that would
indicate disease. The eyes alone sutler
aud are destroyed."
Last week. Captain Travis the cele
brated pistol shot, volunteered to shoot
an apple, a la William Tell, from the
head of Mr. Henry Miller, at the Thea
tre Comique, Cleveland, Ohio, and he
did it successfully. At the appointed
time Mr. Miller took his seat at the
farther end of the stage, Captain Travis
being seated in a private box some
twelve paces distant. He took aim and
the apple was pierced near the centre,
but not i.tirred apparently from the head
of Mr. Miller. Which shall be most to
compliment, the acconiplismeuts of Capt.
Travis, or tbe wonderful nerve of Mr.
Miller.
