Wc suppose this is part of that "war

and in that impression he is not far
wrong.

to be true he will of course be dealt

Xow for a coucerted ear-splitting
howl along the whole Democratic
line. Ex-Senator Henderson, of Mis
souri, w ho was employed as special
couusel by the Government to assist
in the prosecution of the whibkey
ring at M. Louis, ia the Avery trial,
took occasion in his speech to the jury
w ithout the shadow of reason to
personally assail the President. For
this unprofessional and indecent con
duct, he was promptly dismissed by
the Attorney General. Here is the
Attorney General's dispatch to the
U. S. Attorney at St Louis:
Department ir Jistice, Wash
istiTON, P. C, December 10. Hon.
!. P. Dyer, U. S. Attorney, St. Lou
is, Mo. The sworn report of Hen
derson's speech, forwarded by Mr.
Eaton and referred to by both you
and Henderson in your dispatches
yesterday as a correct report, was
read in the full Cabinet to-day, and
it was regarded by every member as
an outrage on professional propriety
thus to reflect (without a shadow of
reason) opon tbe President, by wbom
his employment by this department
was sanctioned, in order tbat no im
pediment might be placed in the way
of bringing to speedy punishment
every defaulter of the revenue in St.
Louis. You will advise General
Henderson of bis discharge from fur
ther service, and secure ia his place
the aid of the most able and eflicient
counsel you can Cad, without regard
to his politics.
Edward S. Piebbepont,
Attorner General.
The message of the President
w hich we lay before our readers in
this issue, w ill be read w ith general
satiblaclion. It touches a great va
riety of questions, and on all of them
his deliverances are frank, manly,
clear and moderate. H:s treatment
of the church and school question
and of the financial problem' is con
spicuous for tbe plain common sense
for w hich he is distinguished, while
his statement of tbe Cuban question
is most admirable and statesman
like, and wilf ' go far to allay all anx
iety that may have arisen regarding
the position of our Government on
the vexatious but delicate subject.
It is conceded on all hands, that this
is the ablest public document that
las been prepared by the President
during his two terms, and all criti
cisms of it from his political enemies
that Lave as yet come under our ob
fiervatioa, have been captious, un
reasonable, and merely partisan.

The man elected Speaker f the
Democratic House of representatives
has been a life long Democrat. Tbe
Clerk a Union soldier, who seems to
have become ashamed of bis acts in
tbe war. The Sercreant-at-arms is
the man Thompson, of Ohio, who, as
chairman of the late Democratic
Committee of that State, was engag
ed in attempting to cheat lb Repub
licans out of the Senate of Ohio and
the Governorship. The Doorkeeper
is Fitzhugh, of Texas, who is only
known as a persistent rebel and office
hunter, and who was tbe Se'geant-at-Arms
of tbe rebel Congress.

Singularly enough, the weather
wise w ho are so ready to forecast
storms and bard seasons never think
worth while to prophesy a mild win
ter. Such a prediction would be
vast comfort now. Winter bai el
bowed Thanksgiving out of tbe way
and t-ettled upon our seats and
squares with a horror of ice and
dust. There has been no thaw for
days, the streets are dry and ground
fine by the wheels, it is impossible to
sprinkle them, and New Yorkers en
dure an Egyptian plague in a vicious
dust lhat blows and searches to tbe
inmost tolds of their garments, and
the ruin of the metropolitan skirts and
stockings. The weather has been
skirmishing about zero since Thanks
giving. Freights from the West
have been hurried to market before
navigation closes, and enormous tows
have been floating down tbe Hudson
for a week. The hurry w as none too,
soon either.for tbe last reports say tbe
upper Hudson is closing, and one
large float of canal and towboats is
fast already.
THE W1LSOX PAGEANT.
Spite of tbe cold, last Saturday,
the 6idc-wa!ks on Broadway frm
City Hall were filled with a deep line
of people to see tbe procession es
corting the remains of Vice-President
Wihs,n. The crowd waited from
three o'clock in the afternoon till af
ter 6lx, when the passage of the
military and civil cortege in tbe
shadows and hall-lights was more im
pressive tban it could have been by
day. A man's good deeds arc the
best flowers to heap upon his name, !
and there are manr 6uch to tell of!
Henry Wilson's. Half a dozen
winters ago Jennie Collins, the bright
little Boston lecturer, was drawn to
Washington to lecture by an inex
perienced speculator, who managed
all tbe arrangements so as to make a
dead failure, not paying lecture fee,
traveling expenses, or ball rent. The
getter-op of tbe lecture was a poor
woman, who fancied she might pat
a few dollars in her pocket by tbe
stroke, bnt it left both manager and
lecturer in a sad plight. Somebody
went to Senator Wilson and told him
how badly tbey were off the lectur
er a girl from his State and be
quietly made up lbs lobs, give Jennie
a fifty dollar bill and sent the woman
off consoled. He was ding Eucb
things often. He had a habit of
kindness. It might have been polit
ical, but tbere are a few men who
study to be political who God it nec
essary to scatter kindness with so
wide a band. He was wise in kind-
Deis, too, and knew bow to make a
thousand go farther in doing good to
tbe needy tban many rich men make
their tens of thousands.
THE IUHD TIMES.
People here are not entirely taken
op with growling at the hard times.
Professor Orton projects an expedi
tion in South America, having for its
end to End a route for a railroad tbat
wiil shorten the Journey from this
port to tbe Cape of Good Hope a

There are a good many thousand

Here is another of the same sort:
"Man 28 years of age wants em
ployment at anvthing ; low wajres.
Address M. P. K., TeJe.jram oflice."
This one speaks of anxiety tco
heartfelt to hide itself.
"Must have employment at once,
or self and invalid mother will starve;
will do anything that is bones';
good references. Address M. Stev
ens. Station A."
Tbe Ttleijram announces that it
will publish notices for those want
ing work each Sunday, free of charge.
This too may be political, but that
dosne't hinder k from being a benefit.
Tbere are faithful creatures in the
world waiting and eager to do work
which some one else is waiting and
needing to have them do. It is my
belief that there is a place for every
starving one of these crowded thous
ands, if one knew where to find it a
place where be is wanted just as bad
ly as be wants to fill it; if the two
could only be brought together.
And if any man or woman feels like
helping to bring want to woe, for
heaven's sake don't let him stop, be
cause it may turn out the most profit
able tbi'ig be could do. Tbe need
in every citr is saddening, and the
ootlook for the winter frightful in
view of the scarcity of employment,
but let every one take hold and do
his small part, and tbe work will go
through as gallantly as tbe Sanitary
Commission of old. Aa a begining
100 tickets, each entitling a homeless
person to a night's lodging in the
dormitory in Prince street, hare been
sent to every west-side police station.
All or most of the benevolent socie
ties propose to unite in one associa
tion, to strengthen each other's
hands, and systematize tbe work of
public charity, as well as to combine
against tramps and hammers who
intend to support themselves without
work by going from one aid society
to another, in turn. Vagrants will
find such organized scrutiny brought
upon them as wil'
make them as well known as the
principal thieves and pick-pockets are
to the police.
THE OTHER SIDE.
Everbody doesn't have to look on
this ragged, dirty, heel-sore side of
life in these times. There be hun
dreds 60 rich that, for safety's sake,
tbey keep their accounts in a half
dozen banks.
A man walked in on a comfortably-
off old lady in this city one morning.
and found her cry-ng. "NVbv!
what's the matter any bad luck V
"Why, here," she said, "my agent
has tust sent in $30,000 this month,
and I don't know where to invest it"
The Singer Sewing Machine Compa

and though the late Mr. Astor, with
bis single fortune of $40,000,000,
must have looked down on these poor
manufacturers, tbere are among my
readers those who would exchange

FOttTrSES IN PATENTS,
The inventor usually is the person

The originator of the Singer Sew ing
Machine, worked in the employ of

twenty dollars a week, and is tbere

COSMETIC DEAI.CRS.
One ot the cariosities of tbe day is
tbe advertisement of a certain Mad
ame in one of tbe leading dailies,
who makes a livelihood by removing
superfluous hairs from the face. The
announcement gives very fashionable
bouts, and is tbe first open advertise

insufficient underclothing, but she

barxcm's sales.
flow many of roar readers did not
see Barnum's great hippodrome, eith
er last season or the season before ?
Not many, I warrant. Weil, the
great show has come to an end, its
glory is departed and tbe "mammoth
aggregation" is dispersed.
The entire concern was closed out
at auction, last week, which was the
occasion of heavy grones from the
great showman Barnum always
dealt fairly with the people, and
when he advrtieed English race-horses,
tbat was tbe kind he gave tbem.
He imported thirty of the best blood
ied racers in England, and it was ab-
1 turd the prices tnev brougbt co-
jster, aod "English thorougbred, which
cost Barnum $600, brougbt only $.10,
'and the others went at about the
same price. Uae, oaly, went up as
high as $150. Tbe highest price
paid for bis magnificent draught hors
es was $220 for one team, tbe others
going as low as $"0. There were
162 horses sold, good bad and indif
ferent, includ:og the trick and ring
horses, and all tbey brougbt was $20,
000 not a tenth of w hat Barnum
paid for them two years ago. The
fact is, running horses have no value
in this country: because the trot is
the only gait recognized as valuable.
W ere Y ebster as good a trotter as
he is a runner, he would have brougbt
$10,000. Barnum would have made
money had he shipped tbe horses all
back to England. . His other show
prorertv went at quite as ruinous a
sacrifice. The suits of armor worn
in the pageants, which cost $150 each
in London, went for $7. Almost
anybody might go into tbe show bus
iness on these term j. But Barnum is
rich and be dosen't mind it He
will do tbe same thing over in two
years.
THE SAVINUS BANKS
Are collapsing, one afier another, to
tbe terror of the poor, who have
tbeir little all in tbem. Tbere is fear
and trembling among these people,
for belter experience baa taught them
tbat in these times nothing is safe.
This feeling of insecurity has induc
ed runs that have weakened banks
tbat ordinarily would have got
through. But those tbat have brok
en were never entitled to confidence.
They were never started on right
principles. A dozen men get togeth
er and start a savings bank for the
sole purpose of making a place for
one re-pectable old gentleman as
President, and two or three brisk
young men as casnier, teller anu
book-keeper. A dozen good names
figure as directors, but the business
s all done by tbe old noodle and tbe
yonng recklessness, i to money
taken in from poor men and women
is invested in real estate mortgages,
at fancy prices to accomodate the
directors and their frienis. Finally,
the tight times come those who
have borrowed can't pay the prop
erty security is sold, and, lo! it has
shrunk in value a half, and down
goes the bank. The nice old gentle
man and the brisk voung men get
out of the way the directors regret
tbeir imprudence the poor deposi
tors go starve, and the thing blows
over. Good times bring another
crop, and the game is repeated.
There are over thirty of these
banks in the city tbat have failed, or
will, within a few weeks, and it is
sickening to know that in most cases
fraud is at tbe bottom of tbeir un
soundness. It is a pity tbat lynch
law can't avenge the poor depositors.
Uf all tbe sharks, these roboers of
working-men, women and children.
are tbe most to be bated. Thous
ands of laboring people who depend
ed upon their little accuunlations in
tbe banks to take them through tbe
winter, find themselves, these bitter
mornings, without work or a dollar to
carry them through the day. Until
some of these swindlers are hung,
lamp-posts will not have been thor
oughly utilized.
BUSINESS
i
Continues as dull aa possible, and
faces, long enough in tbe fall, are
longer now. There will be no im
provement till spring. A whole
sale grocer just said to me "tbere
ain't no trade in notbm'." True, if
not elegant

Horrible. Bntcberj.
Cleveland, December 4. About
seven o'clock this morning William
Aden, an Englishman, and express
man for Cobb, Andrews it Co., liv

with his wife, and becoming enraged,
be caught up an axe and commeced
butchering her with it, severing her
bead from ber body and otherwise
terribly mutilating her. He then
went to tbe corner or Garden street
with an axe and hammer and attack

a fearful manner. Mrs. Benton, who
attempted to interfere, was also chop

The two latter, although still alive,

murder tbat his wife, who was a
widow when be married her, and tbe
step daughter were stealing him ont

tioned why be was not satisfied with
killing his wife, he said he wanted
to "put an end to all the d d

lhere is great excitement in the city
over this butchery. Nothing So
horrible has ever before happened
here.
A rtl Whirlwind.
The Xewbern (X. C.) Times has a
letter from Beaufort, . C, dated
Klhiust, which says: "On Mon

tbe Banks, destroying everything in
its course, but causing no loss of hu
man life on the Banks. From tbe
Banks it passed across the sound,
taking in its track tbe homestead of
tbe Gatkill family, which it destroy
in tbe twinkling of an eye. Al
though the building was a heavy one,
it was so completely destroyed that
no two p'eces of timber remained to

Plattville, Colorado Territo
ry, November 29. On baturday
evening last our town was startled
by the report that a little girl, aged
about nine years, a twin daughter of
a Mr. Sutherland, wbo recently
moved into tbe neighborhood, was
lost on tbe plains. It appears tbat
tbe child accompanied her father in
search of cattle, and when about two
miles out they found some calves,
one of which had a bell attached to
its neck. The cows not b;ing in
sight, tbe father directed tbe child to
follow the calves, which he supposed
would go directly home, while he
went in search of the cows. It was
then 4:30 P. M. At about C o'clock
the father returned home, and was
alarmed to learn tbat his little daugh
ter had not come in, but was all tbe
while supposed by its mother to be
witb tbe father. The alarm was
given to the people in the village, and
twenty or more persons went out and
scoured the country for six or eight
hours in every direction, but w ithout
success, though some of tbem were
out until 5 o'clock next morning, and
two, one a boy of seventeen, having
themselves baen lost, aid not reach
borne until 8 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. On Sunday some forty men
and boys on horseback and at least
twenty on foot went out, notwith
standing the extreme cold, west wind,
but after bunting all day, returned
unsuccessful. Again on Monday
morning men from every direction
were on the hunt, and in tbe most
systematic manner examined a wide
strip of country, from tbe Platte to
near the Box Elder, and were still
looking, headed toward homo, when
a signal gun was heard, by which all
knew the child had been found. It
appears the little one followed the
calves for a time, but as tbey did not
go toward home she became con
scious she was lost At first she
says she wandered around, but hear
ing the wolves growling around ber
she started in a straight course,
which took her to tbe Box Elder, and,
without knowing what direction she
was taking she followed tbe bed of
tbe creek until daylight At tbat
time ebe saw trees on the Platte, and
started for tbem arriving at tbe raucb
of Mr. John Bee be, about four miles
below Evans, at 10 o'clock Sunday
morning, having traveled constantly
for eighteen hours, and probablv a
distance of not less than- twenty-five
miles Wben atked if she was not
frightened, she said uo. She said
tbe wolves kept close to her heels
and snapped at her feet;
bul that ber mother told her that if
she was good tbe Lord would always
take care of her, aud so she knew tbe
wolves would not hurt her, because
God wouldn't let them. After being
kept at tbe bouse of Mr. Becbe until
tbe following day, Monday, she was
brougbt home as sound aud fresh as
though she bad only taken a short
walk of ten or twelve miles.

Despatches received from Mahanoy

in tbat vicinity in consequence of two
dreadful murders committed at two
o'clock this morning by a party of
marked men, who entered the huuso

I p In a Pit.
London, December C. An awful
explosion occurred to-day at the
Swanhe mam colliery, near lsransley,
in tbe West Riding of Yorkshire. It
is feared that more than two hun
dred lives ere lost The colliery be
longs to Mitchell & Co., and is one
of the largest in tbe southern part of
orkshire. It is joined by under
ground workings with Edmund's col
liery, where twelve yeara ago yes
terday over threo hundred persons
perifhed. The works extend for
many miles. They arc entirely
worked with safety lamps, under
very rigid discipline, and were con
sidered safe. At six o'clock this
morning about three hundred men
and boys descended and commenced
work as usual. lit half-past nine a
terriCc explosion occurred. The ex
act position of the explosion is at
present not known, but the miners in
all parts of tbe pit were startled by
a loud report, followed by large
volumes of smoke and after-damp.
Those who were able rushed to the
pit bottom, but the drawing cage
wa3 displaced. As soon as possible
volunteers organized to search for
dead and dying and those who had
escaped After being down for some
time, the volunteers reported about
noon tbat they met with great diffi
culty. They saw many who were
alive, but unconscious. It is impos
sible now to give the number of tho
lost. It is feared that tbe first re
port, two hundred, will be confirmed,
though the managers of tbe colliery
hope tbat many may be saved. Tbe
operatives in all the collieries of tbe
district are on tbe spot, ready and
anxious to do all possible for tbe re
lief of tbe sufferers. All tbe local
surgeons have also arrived. All
those who have been rescued thus far
are seriously burned and injured.
Hundreds of men, women and chil
dren are congregated at the mouth' of
the pit, and aa tbe disfigured bodies
are drawn to tho surface the scene is
of tbe most heartrending character.
Later. Tbe latest accounts from
the Swaithe colliery indicate tbat tbe
total number of lives lost is 140. Tbe
explosion was caused by careless
blasting operations. Another disas
ter of a similar character ia reported
to-day in a coal mine near Pentyrch,
in South Wales. "Twelve persons
were killed and ten injured.

Memphis, Tenn., December U.
Tbe origin if tbe riot at Rolling
Fork, Issaquena county, Misa. was
as follows:
On Saturday iiight, November
27'b. a party of uegrocs bad assem-b!-
I at tbe village, and were drink
ii aud carousing, and one of tbem
purhed against a youth wbom be
met iu tbe street, using rough lan
guage at the same tiioe. Tbe youth
drew a knife and inflicted a scalp
wound on the negro, and then fled to
a store for safety. Tbe negroea be
came very much exasperated and
avowed vengeance, and to prevent
this a w arrant was obtained for tbe
youth, charging him wiih assault
wiih iuteut to kill, but before it could
be served, the negroes broke into the
store aud beat the lad severely with
aa iron bar. Finally one of tbe par
ty shot the boy in tho thigh. At the
report of tbe pistol tbe negroes ran,
but tbe whites had begun to assem
ble, and fearing a general riot, pursu
ed tbem and captured ten of tbem,
put tbem in a store house, and plac
ed a guard over them. During the
night, one of tbe guard not upon du
ty, came out ou tbe porch w iib a guu
on his shoulder, aod was ordered
away by the sentinel on duly. As
he turned, bis gun, which waa cock
ed, struck against the window and
waa discharged. Tho negro prison
ers, thinking that they were being
Gred upon, stamiieded, and the guard
opened up an indiscriminate tiring,
wounding two of tbeir own number
and two of tbe negroes, all slightly,
but the prisoners escaped.
