Tni late boom in Confederate

A wife murderer in Missouri has
been eeiitenced to jail for a period of

General Grant's late fall so crip

The Democracy are getting their
thunder ready for the campaign of

A srMBER of the coal oil well dig

The Philadelphia Record remarks,
it is not a bad indication when busi
ness is slack in the Sheriff's office.
Sheriff Keim finds so little to do
that he has been obliged to dischag's
some of Lis assi tarts. A fat bailfff
makes a lean parish.
Fist fighters, Sullivan, and his

The Record says, Arkansas sends

"The Mexican Government has de
clared forfeited the concession mde
to General Grant for a submarine
cable connecting Mexico, the United
States and Central America for non
fulfillment of the terms of the con
ception, no work having been done
w itnin the prescribed time.
The colored folks seem to get a
long quite smoothly in their church
affairs, there are exceptions, however,
and one of the exceptions is found in
a trouble, in the Beth Methodist con
gregation in Conn., which trouble
came to a focal point the last day of
the old year, by two deacons leading
the preacher out of the pulpit.
The Record 6ays : A lawsuit re.
cently decided at Brooklyn hinged
on the point whether the freexing o'
a cargo of orange was or was not
the act of God. The Court very
properly held that it was the work of
man in neglecting proper precautions
to protect the fruit from cold. To
resist the elements successfully is to
control them.
Os the 3rd inst. two murderers
were hanged at Newark. New Jersey.
Robert Martin, one of the parties,
was hanged for killing his wife and

lighting boy and shooting him with
a pistol, in the back. It could only
be a coward who could do such a

The Philadelphia Record 6ends its
congratuintions to General Harry
White as follows :
The Greenback oigan in Indiana
county Las suspended publication.
It may be inferred from this that the
Greeubackers of Indiana eounty
have no longer falh enough to in

tion. If this is a comrt inference
it will be cjod news f-r H t- Harry
White, who is a perpeti.r.l candidate
for CoogresB in tbe TwtutT-fifth dis
trict, and who has been twice over
thrown by a coalition of Greenback
ers and Democrats. We send our
congratulations to the champion of
Kiskiminetas.
The Philadelphia Times says of
the local newspaper. It is the most
useful and appreciated of all the a
trencies which stamp the impress of
progress upon villages and inland
cities. Without the local newspaper
local towns are, as a rule, thriftless
and tend to decay.
It is common for small great men
to speak with contempt of the local
newspaper. In that they imitate
srreater men in speaking of greater
journals which offend by manly crit
icism; bat the village newspaper
makes more great men out of less
material more bricks without straw
than any other factor in politics,
and it is the one ladder on which
men climb to local distinction as the
beginning of wider fame.
A whiter of a recent date Says,
"that Soudan is the name given by
the Egyptians to all their dependent
empire stretching from the Third
Cataract for an indefinite distance to
wards the lakes, and from the Red
Sea to the western border of Darfur?
This empire comprises much of Nu
bia, all of Sennaar, all of Kordofan
and all of Darbur. It is said to be
about 1,000 miles square, or as large
as India. This vast extent of a mil
lion of square miles is said to be in
habited by about 12,030,000 people,
most of them Mussulmans and many
of these are of exceptional ferocity,
fanaticism and daring. Eventually, it
seems likely, the English will have
to tackle with this wild ferocious
crowd, if at any rate it invade Egypt,
which is far from unlikely."
The past year the Ohio canals fell
05,000 short of paying expenses.
The canal public improvements in
this Commonwealth, under Demo
cratic rule, accumulated a debt of
$40,000,000; what the debt would
be if the public works had not been
sold can only be guessed. When Col
onel McClure comes to his reward it
will be a large one, for he was one of
the foremost champions in the cause
for the sile of the canals. That work
placed the biggest plume in his hat,
and if the Colonel had ambition for
the Governorship that good work
should elect him. for by the sale of
the public works, the increase of the
load of debt was brought to an end,
and opportunity was given the peo
pie to reduce the indebtedness which
could never have been done had the
management of the canals been left
to the management of the State. We
are not declaring for the Colonel for
Governor, but only rendering honor
to whom honor is due.
Special Correspondence.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 5, 1884.
When Adam was asleep in the
beautiful garden, woman was carved
out of his side, and from that time
to this man has clung to her as if she
was made of more than one of his
ribs. Just now the power of wo
man is felt in this political centre to
an uncommon degree. It is no scan
dal, but tbe question involves Presi
dent Arthur, and Mrs. Carlisle. It
was a woman that exploded the cab
inet of President Jackson, let us hope
that Mrs. Carlisle will not prove to
be the beautiful and accomplished
element to dissolve the administra
tion of President Arthur. Does it
raise you to tip toe to think that the
lady should dissolve the administra
tion, and her husband should dis
solve the Republican party? Call
isle, be it known, is an able man and
has large designs on tbe Republi
can party. He proposes to so nicely
sugar coat the question of "tariff for
revenue only," that a sufficient num
ber of the voters will take the free
trade pill and elect a Democratic
President next falL It is not direct
ly on the tariff question that Mrs.
Carlisle comes in. She figures in
this, that, the President gave her the
place of honor during the New
Year 8 reception, and that has highly
displeased the ladies of the cabinet
officers, and the ladies of the fami
lies of the Supreme Judges. It is
simply a social question among the
ladies of the official class as to who
shall be first in the attention of the
President on reception occasions.
While the official class here claim to
be the escense of Republican or Dem
ocratic simplicity, they show plainly
by their jealous struggle for recog
nition in 60 called places of rank, that
they would if they could, fix the rank
of every phase of society and keep
every one in the place cut out for
him.
The politicians here are watching
the movement of the Commonwealth
Club, of Philadelphia, that proposes
to give a grand reception to Speaker
Carlisle, in the city of Brotherly Love,
on the evening of the 19th inst., no
speeches w ill be made,so that no mis
take can take place on tariff talk.
The effort will be a strong one in the
way of a Democratic still hunt to
capture a lot of Philadelphia manu
facturers for the campaign of 1884.
Abraham S. Hewitt, of New York,
has been invited ; he is a dark horse
for the presidential race, and has
what the Democracy love, namely, a
bar'L He is a millionaire. It would
be 6trong work for Hewitt if the
club could by its reception be turn
ed to work for him ; a union of Phil
adelphia and New York politicians
on a Presidential candidate would be
a strong team to start with. It wiil
be told that Hewitt is interested
largely in iron manufactures, and
that he is also favorable to a tariff
revision, whatever that means. If
you are interested in the movement
of the political chess board keep
your eye on the reception of the Com
monwealth Club.
I observe that your Congressman
has been placed on tbe Committee of
Railroads and Canals, a most impor
tant committee for a good virtuous
man, and a most important commit
tee for a corrupt man with an itch
ing palm. In this Congress it will be
of more than common importance,
for a number of the great railroads
in tbe west have forfeited their rights
to tbe land grants by not complying
with the conditions of agreement as
prescribed by act of Congress when
the land was granted to the corpora
tions engaged in building railroads.
By non compliance with its grants
the Northern' Pacific has 40 odd mil
lion acres on the forfeit line, so with
other lines. Can you understand
the determination and art of the lob
by that such great interests will bring
here T Evert green Congressman,and
every corrupt Congressman will be
looked up and managed if possible in
the ways best suited to his peculiar
bent of mind, with some it will be by
the arts and beguilement of woman
feed by the lobbyists, with some it
will be help to places of appointment
for friends, with some it will be mon
ey direct Do you understand me
now when I mention the importance
of the Committee on Railroads and
Canals. I tru6t that the Congress
man from your district may prove to
be a veritable watch dog for the in
tereste of the people in these mat
ters that involve the rights to terri
tory, the value of which in the near
future will be counted among the
billions. C. P. Huntingdon, a great
railroad ring man, ngel 65 years,
and estimated to be worth $50,000,
000, has been here looking to the
"lay of the land."
From present movements ia the
camp of the Democracy it looks as if
they will hurry up the appropriation
bills and seek an early adjournment
Randall is at the head of the Appro
priation Committee, and as he has
the "Presidential Bee" buzzing in his
bonnet he is looking out for all short
cuts to popularize himself for the
nomination ; he is a political fox.
The pension question comes up
this Congress in various phases ; pen
sions for certain classes who were in
rebellion, pensions for those who
were in the Indian wars ; pensions
for soldiers of the Mexican war.

A Colonial Industry.
The taking of scalps came to be a
recognized part of colonial warfare.
Hannah Dustin, who escaped from
Indian captivity in 1G9", took ten
scalps with her own hand, and was
paid for them. Captain Church, un
dertaking his expedition against the
Eastern Indians in 170$. after the
Deerfield massacre, announced that
he had not hitherto permitted the
scalping of "Canada men, but
should thenccfoith allow it In 1722,
wheu the Massachusets colony sent
an. expedition against the viil.ige of
"praying Indians," founded by Fa
ther Rasle, they offered for each
scalp a bounty of 15 afterward in
creased to 100 and this Luuianity
was so far carried out that the
French priest himself was one of the
victims. Jeremiah Bumstead, of
Boston, made this entry in his al
manac in the same year : "August 22.
28 Indian scalps brought to Boston,
one of which wr.s Bombaien's an In
dian chief, and one fryer Raile's."
Two years after, the celebrated bat
inappropriately named Captain Love
well, the foremost Indian fighter
of his region, came upon ten Indians
asleep round a pond ; he and his
men killed and scalped them all, and
entered Dover, .New Hampshire,
bearing the ten scalps stretched on
hoops and elevated on poles. After
receiving an ovation ia Dover they
went by water to Boston, and were
paid a thousand pounds for their
scalps. Yet Lovewell's party was
always accompanied by a chaplain,
and had prayer3 every morning and
evening. J
lhe most painful aspect of the
whole practice lies in the fact that it
was not confined to those actually
engaged in fighting, but that the co
lonial authorities, actually established
a tariff of prices for scalps, including
even non-combntants so muck for a
man's, so much for a woman's, so
much for a child's. Dr. Ellis Las
lately pointed out the striking cir
cumstance that whereas William
Pi-nn declared the person of an In
dian to be "sacred," his grandson in
1 1 46 offered f 134 for the scalp of an
Indian man, $130 for that of a boy
under ten, and 4--0 lor that of a wo
man or girl. The habit doubtless
began in tbe fury of retaliation, and
was contiuued m order to conciliate
Indian aliie6 ; and when bounties
were offered to them, the white vol
unteers naturally claimed a share.
But there is no doubt that Puritan
theology helped the adoption of the
practice. It was partly because
the Indian was held to be something
worse than a beast that he was treat
ed as being at least a beast. The
truth was that he was viewed as a
fiend, and there could not much scru
ple about using inhumanities against
a demon. Coiton Mather calls Satin
"the old-landlord" of the American
wilderness, says in his Magnalia:
"These Parts were then covered
with Nations of Barbarous Indians
and Infidels, in whom the Prince of
the Power of the Air did work as a
spirit ; nor could it be expected that
nations or Wretches whose whole
religion was the most Explicit sort
of Devil-Worship should not be act
ed by the Devil to engage in some
early and bloody Action for the Ex
tinction oi a rjanuitiou bo contrary
to his Interests as that of New Eng
land was.' from Harper's.
He Wanted Beligion.
From the Arkansaw Traveller.
At an Arkansas love fmnt. n eiiA
man was asked why he joined the
church. "Well," he said, "I al'ers
did have a hankerin' airier the gospil,
our ims iaii it come on me powerful
bard. I had bad luck at the saw mill
six o' my shoats got drowned, my
gray mare DroKe ner leg in the woods,
an' everything seeired to go wrong.
I tried everything, salve an' axle
grease, but nuthin' seemed to help
my misfortunes. I shifted from the
Democrat to the Republican party,
an' then changed back again, an'
nuthin' seemed to help me, so finally
I tuck up the notion that I ongkter
jine the church. The only thing in
Iho way was tbat I didn't have "ligion,
so I thought mighty Lard over this.
One day I went down to wuar thar
was a camp meetin' an' drapped down
on my knees. A ole feller with a
slick suit o' clothes an' came aroun'
an' axed me what I wanted, an' I told
him that I wanted ligion. He axed
me if 1 wasafeerd that my soul would
go to torment, an' I said that tor
ment wan't botherin' me, that things
on the farm won't grow ter snit
'Wall said he, pray awhile.' Well,
I prayed awhile, all the time thinkin'
'boat tbe kalamitiei at home, till at
last a rough-an'-ready sort o feller
come aroun' and says, 'ef yer wanter
do anything here, shout.' Wall, I
got up an' shouted an' the next day
jined the churah, but lemnie tell yer,
ef 'em stock ain't improved I'm a go
in' to try somethin' else."
A Diabolical Scheme Frustrated.
Denver, Cob, Dec, 18, 1883. Last
Saturday Mary Kofford called on
Doctor Rose, a prominent dentist of
Leadville, and made the startling re
quest that he furnish her with a poi
son which could not be detected by
an autopsy. She offered $300 com
pensation reluctantly, admitting that
she wished to get rid of her husband,
Hans Hofford, so tbat her husband's
brother, of whom she was enamored,
and herself might together enjoy an
insurance of $5500 which her hus
band carried. After making an ap
pointment to meet both at his office
last evening, tbe doctor arranged
with the police and several interest
ed insurance men to be present but
concealed. At the interview tbe
whole diabolical plan was made
known. The man and woman were
immediately arrested and placed in
jail. All the persons concerned are
Danish. The younger brother is six
ty yeai s of age and the woman thirty-five.
Children Burned.
Bradford. P. Januarv 4. The
dwelling of J. V. Gaarer. near Duke
Centre, was burned to-day and Gar-
ver s four children, aged from 1 to
6 years, perished in the names.
Wellsviixe, Ohio, January 4.-The
residence of Milton Higlands at Xe-
chanicstown, a few miles west of this
place, was destroyed by fire at an
early hour this morning, and two of
his children, Grace and Mollis, aged
four and seven, respectively, porish-
cd in the flames. About 2 o'clock
Higland's eldest daughter was awak
ened by hearing a crackling noise
aud discovered that the house was
on fire- She made a heroic effort to
reach the room of her little sisters,
but the fierce flames and stifling
smoke prevented this. She then
ImijxhI from a window to the ground
below and sncceeded in awakeniug
her mother and other members of
the family, who barely escaped in
time to save their lives. The fire
was not discovered by the neighbors
until too late to render assistance.
The father was absent in Indiana on
business. This morning the charred
remains of the little ones were taken
from the ruins. ,

PHILADELPHIA TIMES,
1884.
Tbk Tints will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous thau ever be
fore in its history more widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and
more fiercely criticised, with a more com
plete organisation, and an abler staff of con
tributors and with the same independence
and fearlessness that bis made it success
ful aud powerful in the past.
The Tims has no party to follow, no
candidates to advance, but will meet every
issue, as it has ever done, with consistent
devotion to tbe right, to bonrst govern
ment, and the public welfare. And, while
maintaining its position as the leading jour-
cal ot Philadelphia, ii will aim to be con
tinually in tbe adtauce in all that ran add
valne to a newspaper.
Tbe advance of a newspaper is not in it
size or display, but in rh intelligence an!
care, tbe conciseness and irehn'a with
hicb it ia edited. The Times spends lav.
ishlv tor rews from all parts of the world.
but all its dispatches are can-fully edited
and condensed, in ordr tn give the con -plete
news of tbe day in the most concise
and attractive sliap? , and with a Urgi vari
ety of entertaining and i'lstructive reading.
The best writer at home and abroad are
employed to enrich its columns, and to
make it a journal adapted both to th busy
man and to the leisure of the home circle,
a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
cit ileus of every political, reiigional and
social taste.
The Weeelv Times is altogether differ
ent from the weekly newspapers of twenty
years aeo. 1 he day ot those papers is gone
by. The telegraph snd better locsl nrws-
paprs every here, especially in the thriv
ing centre ot rural population, have made
the old weekly metropolitan newspaper un-
aatMying. Those that cling to their an
cient usages have Inst their hold or our
forwsrd-movirig people ; ihey are but shad
ows ot their former greatness, and they
have bdt a shadow o( their former power
Those papers hsve had their usefulness, but
it is gone ; end, with it, tbey are going, too.
It was not the laolt ol the papers; it was
the improvement oftliecountry tint brought
about tbe change. Men and women, wher
ever they lire, now require fresher news;
and they require more than news.
The Weekly Tibes gathers off the fovea
of every passing week whatever bas lasting
