" Is a speech oiaie in 1S73, General Tom Eving said: "All these eveuts have forced roe, though most reluct- j, to tue conclusion that the Demo cratic party is powerless and ineffec tive as mi ally, and not a fit instrument of reform in American poli'ics."

Senator Hill, and other Senators in Congress, just now are trying to dem onstrate, by book and crock, that tbey were the best of Union men. If the Senators could just demonstrate, or prove, that lo rebel.ioa took place, t'-; do Confederate government wtks organized, and tbat the most of tbe Southern representatives in Congress were not cfTcs-holders under the rebel government, their nrpuaient would be conclusive. It is Strang", beyond com prehension to the crdiaary mind, bow a Confederal ovcri.ioent was organized, when tl.2 leading officers of it were all IV. u men. The Northern people never be lieved iu buying and selling human kind ap horses and cattle ars bought and ; et enough of them voted with tbu Democratic cgunization till it re le'led agavjst the Constitutional government The act of rebellion ceitiid net be explained away ; it was a naked truth that siared everybody alike in the face. Now again, the Democratic organization is controled hy the some men that went into re bellion, and their revolutionary work is pbirer than was their work in 18G0, before they made war, but how many of their blind followers 6ee it ! There is something droll in the effrontery of the Democratic leaders. In Ohio Ewing's friends are making the campaign on the charge that the l?-jpuhlica'is are e-iaeavoiing to starve the army while the Dem-xracy want to pay it in full. Tl is is certainly a nice dodge, when it is considered that m the debate of the arniv bid the ridicule of the Federal soldier was a i-oinmon piece of jocrd.irity on the imrt of the Democracy. Gen. Ewing is a splendid embodiment of the D-.-moer-.tic idea of a soldier, whom the honest and patriotic men of the Bu.-keye Stite will shelve as they La". others of his ilk and impudence. li'irriilurg Telegraph. A cHfKCH or two in the Western country have established telephones lending from the church building, tjat is from the preaching house, to the residences or homes of aged and iniimi members, who cannot attend preaching, and by that means minis ter to the spiritual wants, as far as '-he singing, praying and preaching ran iniuisteY, to the spiritual wants of the old people who are no longer able to attend the meetings. It is a fitting re ignition to the oi ler mem bers, who tine day were the active people cf the church. Of course a U''.ei lioiie cannot make up for the loss of actual attendance, where the mag netism of a congregation itself is in hpiring ; neither can it make np for the failure of the nierrbers of the church to visit the aged people of the fl vk, but it is a great deal better than neglect Of course '.he Eastern States believe that they should set the faeh ious for the Western States, but in the matter of church telephones for old people the East may profitably julnpt the fashion of the Western An intnreetiftpr Jewih newspaper, called The Rrfmmer and Jvwixh Timet, published at 1-0 William street, New York, iie on our table. In consider ing the question tf Jew uid Cliris tkn, among other things, it says : To for biu or prevent our children from mixing in Christian society is really tantamount to telling them that we fear their religion has such a slender hold upon them that we are afrail to trust them in situations where the influences and teachings of that religion would have to be ex erted. On the whole, it is, perhaps, better that one in a thousand of our people should marry out of our faith, than that the other nine hundred and ninety nine should be denied the val uable privileges and undoubted ad vantages of ocial intercourse with the world. It is not to be denied tliat inter marriages with Christians are objec tionable and to, be avoided, but we have too much confidence in Judaism and iis professors U fear that such interm;iriagi8 will ever lieee-me com mon, or that the few which do occur will exert any general influence for evil upon our people, if they exert any evil inflia-ni-e at all unfed le of the family immediately interested. If our religion is so weak tht it cannot stand by iUelf, but must continue to le boxed up in its own narrow circle, then our religion is a very poor one for o,ir present circumstances, and was only good so long as we lived by ourselves ; but if, as it is inuch more reasonable to believe, our religion is a strong one, which, except in a few isolated cases, is able to withstand, as it has forages withstood, all world ly influences, then we must admit that American Jewish society is doing a great folly and a great wrong in strengthening and rebuilding bar riers between itself and other classes, which it should be the aim of all in telligent anl progressive people to tear down and destroy. The time has come for enlightened Israelites to decide for themselves once for nil if they will fomi a part oi modern soci ety or if they wij continue to be so cially as well as religiously a peculiar teople.

A MsrATCIl from Washington says: A nios; aggravated case of the inter- ! terence of tbe German Government with tbe affairs of citizens of tbe United States bas just been called to the atten tion cf tbe Secretary of State. It ap pears tbat a father and two son, both tbe latter born in tbe United States (at St. Louis), returned to Germany. Tbe sons, upon arriving at the age of man hood, returned to St. Louis, and exer cised their rights as citizens. A few weeks ago they were peremptorily or dered to return to Gi riuuy, and enroll themselves on the military li.-t tf the e:rpire, and npon their declining to d SO they were notified that legal pro ceeducs would be instituted to compel ' their fattier to disinherit tbem. Tbat i in the event b.' failed to do so, what- ever property was found to be descend j able to tbe sods at tLe dea'h of the : father, would be sequestrated. S?cre I tary Kvarts has received a dispatch j from Minister White stating tbat the I attention of the German Government l bas been called to this violation of tbe ! rights of an American citizen. It is ! expected tbat a satisfactory solution of tue matter will be reached. It is re ported in letters here that the country is almost deooputated of its able-bodied men fit for military service by reason of tbe emigration of the bone and sinew of the empire to the United States and other couutries to avoid the exactions tbe military requirements. 'J hat there was a time in tbe bis- I tory or life of Boston when to wear a moustache put a heavy discount on a man, may be learned from the Boston Jourr.al cf a recent date. Tbe paper j just mentioned cats: "I was iu the j city of Boston in 1817 and in 1818. j 1 was then a young man just eoteriug j business, and had tbe impudence to al low wbat little beard nature bad b'.essed me with to grow, not excepting tbe upper lip. (1 do not think there were more tbau two or three men iu Boston wbo dared to wear a moustache, and tbey were foreigners ) One day I bad applied to the Washington hank for a discount. Tbe President was tbe father of J. Charles Baldwiu, whose residence was at or near the corner of Essex street. The notes were returned with words tbat 'nothing was done. As I uever bad been refused before, I thought it strange, and 1 interviewed tbe cash ier, wbo referred me to tbe President. I found tiiu iu bis room, and, approach ing him, 1 at-lted why tbe notes could not be discout ted. Raisin; his eyes aad scanning my face, be replied : 4 We cannot discount notes for a person who wears a sboe brush on his face.' Ar gument was useless, and rather than give np tbe monstacMe (which bas never b'v.'D sbav-d to thi day) 1 removed my account to another bank." This from tbe New York Times: A blow on tbe bead, even with a cane or the fist, is a serious thing, aud may dis turb the balance of the brain or impair its faculties. Of this tact there are too many melancholy instances. Tbe police force of this city, so fono is it of clubbing with impartial severity alike the inooceDt and the guilty, might fair ly be called a society for the promotion of murder. STATfc ITESIS. A seven-year old boy named John Gregor, of Girard, Erie county, was so severely kicked by a borse on Friday a week, that be died soon after. Ou Monday morning, tbe 9th inst., at an early boar, the treasure box of a chief of a baud of gypsies in camp n. ar Eastoo was stoleu and robbed of $1,500. A white and a colored man, doing menial work in tbe camp, bave since disappeared, and are suspected of the robbery. A freight tra'n an ths Philadelphia and Erie railroad ran over a eow en the 10'h inst , near Northumberland, and the engine and several cars were tbroia from the track and badly wrecked. Da vid Morgan, engineer, of Sunbury, was caught in the Ti-reck and instantly killed. Tbe fireman, Sinieox. of V'ayt.e station, was thrown about twenty five feet against a fence, and was seriously braised and scalded. His injuries may prove fatal. , The Primary of tha Democracy. "The? Iauh beat. Who la il h l.isi, WIich the bur'y-burly's done, When the battle's Inst and won." The evidence of a tremendous effort among the Democracy was visible long before Saturday, the day on which the clans met at the polls. All Lint week qtv'et caucuses were held wherever convenient and the leaders were Frenchy, and mode it convenient to hold their little meet ing in the open air. At a blacksmith shop, on the road in buggies, on the pavement at street corners, indeed everywhere, the work went merrily on. The one party had the word Refosv in scrilied on their escutheon ; the other par ty had inscribed on their escutch eon, The Old Wats are Good EsoroH. As early as on Friday afternoon, Da vid Watts, a noted leader, having no fences to repair, no patients to sec, or no clients to consult must needs go Milford township to remir some kind of an old threshing machine. Theorus Gorman was goiu; alwut like a stalwart of the unterrified, declar ing that he knew nothing of the mat ter iu hand, but he could not under stand how minority candidates so frequently came to the front to carry the banner. Senator Crawford was busy attending to the sick ; his pock ets were fairly bulged out with pills, anil B.inks stepped around as briskly as if the yellow fever or some other dreadful malady had broken out in the community. Ezra Parker was never more attentive to working np the social part, and visited all the old ladies in town. John McCoy sus pended operations as far as his own individual work was concerned on the railroad, and turned iu for a fair play tilt Professor Stone visited the Upper Eud, and Bob Parker popped his jokes and worked, and intimated that he could tell Garman something about how to get a minority candi date to the front Southard Doty was rubbing np his circulation for the convention. Dr. Elder was interest ed in the Sunday-schools immensely, in which useful employment Mr. Pat terson was scarcely a step behind ; but with all that they both mauaged to tike a shy at Refoism and The Old Ways. Dave Hetrick and Dr. Ar nold had journalistic business early ou Saturday with Bonsall anil Jack man. and for some icason or other Sheriff Loudon's new well lost its attraction. Some one must have fallen awful sick in the Lower End so sick indeed that a doctor was needed, and a lawyer was necdeiL possibly the latter to make a will. Be that as it may, Dr. Fisher and Lawyer Jacobs went down on Sun day. Hedlobaugh forgot all about game and fish laws, and broke out iu Patterson to a surprising extent A book might be written of the work of the lovers of Refobm and the lovers of The Old Ways, for as it was about town so it was in the town ships. The hurly-burly of Reform aud Old Ways was even greater in the townships than in town, for in the latter a sort of a compromise was gotten up that only one set of dele gates should be run, while in a num ber cf the townships two sets were ran. The poll in Fermanagh town ship was oe hundreiL nearly the whole Democratic vote there. In Walker tha poll was 127, which seems lo point out how the . battle was stirred up by the leaders. Ou Monday morning as early as 7 o'clock there was a noticeable com motion among the leaders about town. Senator Crawford established his headquarters in his office, and thither frequeni pilgrimages were made and ca.iouses iield. Editor Garman had his headquarters in the street E. D. Parker "vamoosed the ranch," and did not put in an appearance. Bon sail was around, bat felt as if he had leen led to the sacrifice. He might have dictated his o.n nomination, but somehow, willingly or unwilling ly he allowed the people if the " old way" to give him away, il S. Par ker was early out to hold aioft the banner of Keform. Representative Banks lowered his one shoulder, drew back a foot, shut one eye, aud thrt'w himself into position as if he was about to receive a blow from a shoul der hitter. Sheriff Walls was nsiug the persuasive art nd Lawyer Mc Meen straightened himself np, looked on, philosophized on how crooked things can be made straight and with drew with a shr.ke of the head Burchfield once in a while stood and looked on, as if calculating the chances for a triplet, that must if christened, embrace the name of Democrat-National Greenbacker. Meanwhile a steady stream of local Democratic politicians and laymen came pouring into town until tiiu circle of recogni tion and hobnobbing that the candi dates were almost of necessity con pelled to make, was so large that to go around it waj hard on the nervous system. The work of the Democracy on Monilay speaks well for their energy, but their system contrasts most un favorably with that employed by the Republicans to nominate candidates. With the Democracy it is a narvous whirl and hurly-burly. With the Re publicans it is an "even tenor" gath ering whose duty is simply to sum up the work done in the districts and announce the names and give the or ganized official stamp to the candi dates that have been elected by a di rect vote of the people. The Contention. Long before the Convention was called, which was at 2 o'clock, the Court Hjuse was filled. The assembly was called to order by Chairman Bon sail. Mr. AiL of Port Royal, was nomi nated as Chairman of the Convention by IL. Doidler. Mr. Doty nomina ted Mr. Reed for Chairman. The Convention did not immediately pro ceed to settle the question of the Chairmanship, but by order of A. G. BonsalL Chairmaa of the County Committee, proceeded to a call for credentials. The following if a list of the delegates ? Miltlintown J. Beid'er, Southard Doty. Fermanagh Mr. Watts, Mr. Graham. Fayette Mr. Watu, lienry Bay. rlfcer I. D. Willis, James -Adams.

Bile James Howell, J.iium Reed. Tusc irora .'a'nea Uarlen, Mr. fierly. Lack Absalom Rice. Mr. Fillra J; Black Log John Hoffman, Samuel Lauver. The question of the Chairmanship of the Convention was settled by a vote viva voce, on a call of Mr. Bon sall, as follows : Ard, 22 votes ; Reed, 15 votes. Mr. Ard took the chair, aud stated that as James Howell and James Ad ams had been named as Secretaries, they should take their seats. They both, however declined. Mr. Doty and Mr. Neely were then nominated, and elected without a dissenting vote. After the Secretaries had taken their seats the Chairman thanked the Convention, and asked that the Con vention proceed to nominate a candi date Tor Sheriff. Messrs. Bonsall, Fowles, Shivery, Rogers, Diven, Masser, Scholl and Farra were put in nomination. The first ballot stood, Bonsall 2, Diven 2, Scholl 3, Fowles 10, Rogers 3, Masser 2, Shivery 9, Farra 5. The second ballot was the same, after which the name of Mr. Scholl was withdrawn. The third ballot stooiL Bonsidl 3, Diven 2, Fowles 11, Rogers 3, Mas str 2, Shivery 10, Farra 5. After the tenth ballot the name of D. S. Masser was withdrawn. The eleventh ballot stetod, Bonsall 3, Diven 2, Fowles 13, Rogers 3, Far ra 4. Shivery 11, after which the nanie of Mr. Rogers was withdrawn. The twelfth ballot stood, Bonsall 3, Diven 2, Fowles 11, Farra 5, Shiv ery 12. After the thirteenth ballot the name of Mr. Diven was withdravrv The sixteenth ballot after the withdraw al of Mr. Farra stood, Bonsall 2, Fowles 1C, Shivery 18, af ter which the name of Mr. Bonsall was withdrawn. The field was then clear for Fowles and Shivery. The result of the seventeenth ballot was, Fowles 19, Shivery 17. The next business was the nomina tion of a candidate for Register and Recorder. L D. Musser, J. M. Mc Donald, G. S. Conn and John A. Mc Meen were put in nomination. The nomination of Register and Record er was also a protracted piece of work. While the 16th ballet was in pro gress, a delegate, who liad partaken of such a lot of Fowl that he forgot himself, in voting called out the name of Fowles. After this ballot the name of Mr. Musser was withdrawn, after which John McConnell, from Richfield, said that now as Mr. Mus ser had withdrawn, he as a delegate would withdraw from the Conven tion, and, suiting his action to the word, withdrew. The 17th ballot stood, McDonald 21, Conn 11. Mr. McDonald was de clared the nominee. John B. Meloy, D. K. SuloufT, and J. E. McCahan were put in nomina tion for Jury Commissioner. Mr. McConnell, from Richfield, refused to vote for Jury Commissioner. Meloy had 21 votes, SuloufT had 10 votes, McCahan had 1 votes. Me loy was declared the nominee for Jury Commissioner. Joseob Middagh was Dominated by acclamation for tbe effice of Coroner Thomas MeCulIoih and Southard Doty were noniiuated for the chairman, ship of the county committee, which was decided by ballot. The vote stood Doty 15, McCullocb 21. Mr. Beidle-r offered a series of reso. lutions tbat were longer than the moral law, relative to a change from the pres. cnt delegate system, to a more enlarged delegate system. He advocated the res olutions in a speech that was delitered in a manner "so child like and bland" that the convention did Dot taste tbat it was oniy a species of taffy, tbat was to please tbem with tbe pleasant delusion that tbey were gettirg out of tbe OLD wats, into the way of tbe true be. FORMER. Mr. Doty offered an amendment, wbich declared that a wide spread dis. satisfaction exists in tbe Democratic party on account of tbe practices under tbe delegate system. The amendment proposed a change from the delegate system now in use to a system such as is used by tbe Republicans in this coun ty, to nominate candidates, includ ing' tbe election of Representative delegate and Senatorial conferees; by tbe people at tbe polls, just as county candidates are nominated under tbe Crawford county system, Mr. Beidler again spoke to the ques tion, and among oCber things, said the system tbat the amendment proposed would result in giving tbe party minor, ity c.nJidates to vote for. Mr. Doty asked leave to ask a ques tion. He wanted to know which, whether Fowles or Shcibiy wss :ho nority caodidate t How it comes that uuder the pieseut system often a loan having only one or two delegates gets tbe nomination. Mr. Beidler said thosa were among the things tbat bad cot yet been found out. Mr. Doty referred to tbe result of the Republican nominations last fall, as proof tba! the nominations under such a system as tbe Republicans bare is the coirect one, and results in the election of majority candidates. He desires a fair expression of tbe people tbat is all, tut instead of tbat, combi nations rule tbe hour, and that is net all, when the combination chooses to do so, they cut tbe ticket. Mr. Beidler's soothing syrup bad pat the convention in a complaisant mood, but under Mr. Doty's eloquently riog. ing notes, it was rapidly loosing its placidity, and was turning about at a lively rate, nearly everjbody stood np, and Mr. James Adams stepped forward and demanded to know where tbe com bination is, be wanted specifications. A delegate from Tussarora excitedly gave Mr. Doty to understand tbat be bad obeyed the instructions of bis con stituents. McConnel, of Richfield, de livered some remarks. The Chairman also got excited, and made a speech and wanted to know something about large townships. Mr. Adams agvn took the floor, and wanted to show ticket with Doty. McConnel would not down ; be want ed it understood for all time tbat in Monroe no such a thing as a combina tion took place. Beidler again took ths floor, and with -a good deal of warmth de clared that he was sound on the tick et question, and pronounced himself to be a Democrat from tbe tip of his toe to the top of his Lead. A delegate from Tuscarora, whose name escaped us in the confusion that was going on, vehemently declared that he knew of some delegates that had been appro iched, bat hey must knw thit Mifllintown has not money enough to buy Tnscarora township. Meanwhile all efforts that hwd been made to get the amendment before the convention failed. Finally the President got it in shape and stated it thus: ".ill who don't vant the L'rucfurd Count g System vote for the amrnJient." The question was first put viva voce, but no one could tell which was which, so it was ballotted for. Be- fore the ballot was taken James Howell arose and said that he could not with justice to himself or the people whom he represented, vote for such important changes unless the question had first been submitted to his eople, and as the question had not been an issue in his district he declined to v..t". The result of t'e ballot was, 23 against the amen l.ai nts and 12 votes for t';? amendments. Th : question then recurred to the tdopii -a of the original resolutions, oft'ereii by Beidler, which John Mc Connell called the revised delegate system. The vote was 20 for and 12 against the adoption of the resolutions. Beidler now suggested that the convention proceed to appoint com mittees, &c, as provideel by the reso lutions just accepted by the conven tion. He said instructions had been m'wn to do sn A ueiegate moveu mat me rtsotu-1 ttnna At mtitrJeit h atthmitrI in ihm rvJrr ,k . n VZ Z .a ' . , , , , f . - J .i . jjoiy tutsueu use a uurnin E'uue ' i t ie sn-pori oi tue rv.ouon. it was Democrutic doctrine to submit ques tions to the peeiple for their accept-1 ance or rejection, and all questions of importance that concerned the whole people should be submitted to a vote of the people. As to instruc tions having been given, a great mis take must exis somewhere, fr cer tainly no instructions had been given to him, and both he aud Mr. Beidler were there by one and the same au thority. If his colleague had instruc tions, they must have been received from some private source, and not from the poll of votes on Saturday. Beidler proceeded to reply, but the excitement ran so high that he made slow progress, and before he got to a food point with the speech, some one got the Chair to entertain a mo tion to adjourn. The motion carried. The convention ailjourned without fixing a time to reconvene to dispose of unfinished business. Quickly af ter the announcement of adjourn ment by the Chair, Mr. Ard called Air. lieioler to preside. It was a strange piece of precedure to call a ! niau to preside over an ailjourned convention. Ard withdrew, anil ilr. Beidler took the chair and remarked as he did so, "Now I am President of this convention," and evtryliody there that thought they knew a little about how conventions usually are conduct ed inferred, that ho was alont to call j the convention from its adjournment to c Tiler ; but no such call was made, and the convention still stands ad journed with a parcel of unfinished business on its t ibles. The men fa vorable to the old ways, crowded up to the chair, end seemed to be en gaged in transacting business among themselves ; perhapa this is what was intended to have been brought about by tho adjournment If it was so intended, it was completely carried out ; if it was an accidui.t, it was well calculated t suit the people of the old ways ; but it was getting rid of those who favor reform in an unpre cedentexl manner. What business took place with the convention in an adjourneel state around the cliair has not been mode public The com mon run of conventions, when they have business that cannot convenient ly be disposed of at one sitting, tike a recess of a few minutes, or adjourn ( ' n Ptated time, or, when their bus.it has been finished, ad journ sine au ; but this convention .11 not finish its business as a con v ? ! ion, did not take a recess, did n adjourn to a stated time, did not adjourn tine die, but adjourneel, and as an unorganized liody, fixed up the balance of the business that was left when the motion to adjourn was put It must have been run under a new system of rules, under a syhtem of rules revised to suit the occasion. Perhaps the intention is to recall the convention at some early day to finibh the business that was left un finished. It is a question for those who favor Reform and those who favor The Old Ways, Revised, to set tle. Perhaps the convention will be called to regularly despoce of the motion t submt the series of rules Revised Delegate System, as read by Mr. Beieller to a vote of the Democratic party for ratification. Tbe men in favor of the old ways, in all probability, will attempt to put into operation tbe system wbich Mr. McConnell, of Richfield, nicely called, the "Revised Delegate System." Tak en all iu all, it looks like a piece cf bitter sarcasm on the efforts of the peo ple of their party who favor reform. Tl.ey asked for a system that gives Cin didates a chance to get before tbe peo ple of the party for nomination, and in stead of that, they compel tbem to ac cept a system tbat multiplies tbe num ber of delegates, and en arges tbe field of delegates for candidates to struggle through. Candidates now bave a bard time of it to get through the circle of 36 delegates ; bow much harder will it be to get through wben tbe circle is made another time as large Doubt less tbe reformers groannd under tbe additional load imposed on them. " Tbey asked for bread, and got a stone." The convention was call early, so that a long time may intervene between it and tbe general election in which to ease up the reformers and feed tbem on taffy to get tbem to work into the old WATS.

Tbe other day an other body in oiUkio coat and bigh top boots tu taken out of the water at U ilmitigton, and Mrs. McCabe, be lieving it 10 Lii her husband's ban buried rl by the side of the first one. Several articles and letters bave been printed in German papers of late laud ing the efficacy of the sting of tbo com 1110D bee as a cure for gout. Here if one of tbe latest of these commuoica tions which appeared recently in the Augsburg Evening Gazelle: " I was Ijing in bed," says th writer, "suffer ing Itom a heavy attack of gout, ac companied with violent pains in my left foot, when I chanced to read in a news paper an article describing bow gout may be cured by the sting of bees. 1 at once determined to try tbe lemedy, "d soon contrived a small box by means of which a captured bee could be ap plied to tbe afflicted part. I then let my foot be stung by three bees in suc cession, each bee leaving his sting be hind in my flesh. After a few minutes these stings were extracted ; and wben the pain caused by them bad subsided, I found that tbe gonty paiu bad also left me. Oa tbe sauie day 1 left my bed, and on tbe morrow was able to walk about. For some little time my foot was slightly inflamed, and I ex perienced some burning sensation j bnt in four or five days this left me, and 1 was completely recovered." The speculative prices at which things are sold at Leadsville is illustrated by the following, which is from a paper published at tbat f'mouuioing town : A. Cohen was one of the speculators who went there to look for a silver mine. His money dwindled rapidly antil be bad only $3.50 left. In desperation be went to a wholesale grocery and bought a barrel of apples, paying bis entire capital on account, and remaining in debt $1.50. Then he set np a stand at a busy street corner and offered bis apples for sale at teu cents apiece. Be fore sundown be bad sold out, aod was tbe possessor nf nearly $30. The next day be bad a larger stock in trade, and did equally well. In fortnight he was a well-to-do man. His profits bad been immense. Now be bas a large fruit, nut, and canly business, and bas a store full of assistants. A dispatch from Savannah. Georgia, on tbe 9tb, says : A riot took place tbis afternoon at Mcintosh, Liberty county, a station on tbe Atlantic and Gulf rail road, between a party of negro excur sionists from Bryan county and negroes belonging to Mclotofh. The trouble began in a fight between two negroes, whereupon John Randale, tbe captain of a negro miliiia company from Byran county, wbich company formed a part of the excurion party, ordered a charge. The company obeyed tbe order, bayo neting ever) body within reach, the cap tain himself killing one man" by runoiog bioi through with bis sword. There was intense excitement at tbis outrage, aod the Mcintosh negroes rallied and drove tbe military company into tbe cars, opened fire npon tbem, killed four, wounded a large number of others, and only stoppfd shooting wben tbe train was drawn oat of range. Tbry tried to prevent the train from leaving by tearing np tbe railroad track, bat fulled. AU tbe parties engaged were negroes. A second cyclone rolled through Kansas on Monday a week. It came npon Kansas City just before evening, as black as Erebus. In a moment it was over. About 7 o'clock a rift ap peared through the clouds in tbe west aod at sunset the edges of tbe clouds were bathed with a border of silver. Tbiokiog tbe danger past, a boy in tbe town of West Kansas went out under a tree to milk a eow. He bad hardly fixed bis stool wben a whirlwind tore np the tree by tbe roots, killing both cow and boy instantly. This was tbe storm which blew a Mrs. Hawkios and her two children, of Butler county, a quarter of a mile, killing all three. Several incidents of tbe heavy storx that visited Dubuque on Monday even ing a week, are related by Tuesday Dubuque Times. For an hour and a half tie air was filled with flying trees, signs, chimneys and whatever the tor nado could pick np. A borse aod wa gon standing by a stream of water were blown in, tbe borse drowned and tbe stream itself afterward blown dry. A large cumber of children had gathered in tbe Temperance Tabernacle to re hearse for a concert, wben the storm lifted off tke roof and they were left to sing to the borrtcane. A boat on the Danleith side of tbe river was picked up by a whirlwind, tossed bigh in the air and let down bcttom-sida up, the occupants managing to swim ashore. In all this havoc only one man was killed, because the storm foretold its coming by an ominoai matter when miles away in tba northwest. , . w vs-r l TI2 AT Hlj-i'J MA- offer at p-Ua ' in 037 ACBESr Twa-Stoiy Maaaon Haass, -0 bv ' feel, with Fr-ne Kit. hen attach- b iil.ln.e. a " T '' 0 tl are thrre been opened ou the lari-- There rl' Z ,,r which i in tbe yar.
