Democrats everywhere should Inform them
selves carefully alike of the action of their party
throughout the country and of the movement of
their Republican opponents. A failure to do this
in 1876 contributed greatly to the loss by the De
mocracy of the fruits of the victory fairly won at
the polls
The year IBM promises to be one of tho most In
teresting and Important years of this crowded
and eventful century. It will witness a Presiden
tial election which may result in reestablishing
the Government of this country on the principles
of its constitution! founders, or In permanently
changing the relations of the States to the Federal
power. No intelligent man can regard such an
election with Indifference, THE WOULD, as the
only dally English newspaper published In the
city of New York which upholds the doctrines of
constitutional Democracy, will steadily repre

It will do this in no spirit of servile partisanship,

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
AYOUNO lady 1 forgot the name,,
but we will BUpply fictitiously
Mary Adams, was missed from lier
home. Her disappearance caused In
tense excitement, aud that excitement
ran wild when It was at last announced
that she had been murdered. Her body
had been found on the shore of a tribu
tary of the Hudson river, with bruises
upon her head, which gave ample evi
dence that her death had been a violent
one.
Such bruises might have been receiv
ed by falling upon the rocks above the
Bpot wherethe remains were found, but
there were other circumstances which
pointed in another and more ghastly di
rection, A young man named William Clay
pole was arrested under accusation of
the murder of Mary Adams. A pre
llmlnary examination before a Justice
afforded sufficient evidence to bind him
over to appear before a Jury. Claypolu
had waited upon Mary Adams for a year
or more, and during the two or three
months last past their Intercourse had
not been of the happiest kind,.
She was proved to have been gay and
laughter-loving, with a light, volatile
disposition, a heart warm and impulsive
and impatient of restraint. Claypole, it
appeared, had long been exceedingly jeal
ous and exacting, prone to fault-finding,
and ready to make his affianced miser
able and fearful If she dared to look
smilingly upon another mau.
It was proved by several witnesses
that Claypole had threatened Miss
Adams with terrible vengeance if he
ever caught her doing certain trifling
things again ; and a man of the town
a man respectable and reliable had
seen the twain together in angry dis
cussion on the very night of the disap
pearance. He had been on his way home on foot
and walking leisurely along by the riv
er's bank, not a hundred yards from
where the dead body had been found.
He had heard Claypole use language of
terrible significance, end one sentence,
spoken loudly and distinctly, he could
repeat word for word and swear to it.
It was a bright moonlight evening,
and he had gained but a short distance
from the angry pair when he saw the
man grasp the girl by the arm and
fiercely exclaim :
" I'd rather kill you and throw your
body into the cold flood than live under
such torture as you've made me suffer
for the last few weeks. Beware 1 I tell
you, woman, I am desperate 1"
To this the mau swore most positive
ly. He remembered the circumstances
and the exact date, and this was the
evening upon which Mary had left her
home not to return. William Claypole
was committed for trial, and in due
time was brought before the jury.
If anything, the evidence before the
jury was even more conclusive than
had been the preliminary evidence.
There was more of It, and It all pointed
directly to the accused. In fact, If Mary
Adams had been killed, it was an abso
lute Impossibility that any one else could
have done it. That Bhe'could have killed
herself was a proposition not to be en
tertained. William Claypole told his story.
Most of the evidence he had heard he
acknowledged to be true.
He had been exceedingly jealous, and
he had threatened the girl, and though
he could not remember all that he might
have said under the influence of strong
passion, yet he would not deny that the
man who had reported his last terrible
speech upon the river's bank, had re
ported it correctly.
He said that he had been there with
Mary that evening, and he remembered
that he saw the witness on the road.
After seeing witness, he spoke the an
gry, impulsive word to Mary. He could
only swear to the simple fact that very
shortly after using the language just
presented he had beoome Btartled at-his
own fierce passions, and had sent the
girl from him had bade her go to her
home, telling her that he hoped he might
never see her again. With that she had
left him, and he knew no more.
Claypole's story bore the stamp of
truth in everything save the bearing
upon it of the fact already stated. No
body believed that William Claypole ev
er nourished murder in his heart. It
had been the creature of dreadful im
pulse. Yet the evidence was all agaiust bim
all, all and not a point whereon to
hang a doubt, and he was found guilty of
murder.
Oue bright, pleasant day, while Wil
liam Claypole crushed and broken in
his dark cell, and while the people shook
their beads in sorrow that one bo young
and promising should meet bo terrible a
fate on such a day Mary Adams ap
peared before the jailor aud demanded
to tee the prisoner wlio had been accus
ed of her murder.
The jailor came nigh to fainting with
a superstitious terror, but by and by the
applicant succeeded in convincing him
that she was a thing of flesh and blood
like other women, and he admitted her
to the prison.
We need not describe the scene that
followed the meeting of the lovers. In
some respects it was sacred. In due
time the custodians of Judical power
and authority came to the prison, where
they listened fo a new revelation.
Mary Adams was not dead at all 1
The story which her lover had told was
true. On the night of the quarrel, fear
ing that he might do some rash thing,
and really desirous, for the time of get
ting out of the way,' and beyond his
knowledge, she returned secretly to her
home, where she made up a small bun
dle of some necessary clothing, and
then, unknown to any one, she crept
away, and before morning was beyond
the possibility of reach or recognition.
Having found a new home In a far
away, mountainous region, she had not
seen any newspaper until she had been
several weeks in her new home. She
read the account of her own death, and
the arrest of her old lover for her mur
der with astonishment, and now she
had come to set matters right.
As fortune would have It, on the very
day of Miss Adams' return an officer
from an insane asylum appeared in
search of an escaped patient, whom, af
ter weeks of labor, he had succeeded in
tracing in that direction. He saw the
garments which had been taken from
the body of the dead woman, and recog
nized them at once as belonging to his
patient.
The Initials, " M. A.," which had
been supposed to stand for Mary Adams,
were really meant to represent "Mor
tonborough Asylum." The officer saw
Miss Adams, and declared that if he had
met her on the highway or In a crowded
public conveyance he should certainly
have arrested her. Her resemblance to
the patient he sought was wonderful.
And so the truth was known at last.
By a fortunate revolution of the wheel
light came to Mary Adams, and her re
appearance upon the scene came with
saving power to William Claypole.
The lovers went away from the
prison together, and certainly we have
Just ground for the belief that the ordeal
through which they had passed was
sufficient in its terrible experience to
lead and sustain them in the only safe
and peaceful way in life the way of
trustful love and wise forbearance.
A STRANGE STORY.
THE " Atlantic Monthly" tells this
strange story : One day, a man
pretty well on in years came into the
police headquarters, and asked to have
the officers take down a description of
his wife and children, who had disap
peared from their homes. The man
told his story in such a simple, unaf
fected way that it made a deep impres
sion upon those who heard it. He lived
in a. small town in Connecticut, and
had been married five or six years to a
woman considerably younger than him
self and by whom he had had two chil
dren. . , . I
On returning from his daily business
a few nights before, he found his borne
deserted, wife and children had evident
ly gone out, dressed in their best clothes,
leaving no word of explanation.
It struck him as being very strange ;
but, although disturbed, he was not se
riously alarmed, as he concluded they
must have gone to a friend's house.
He got his own tea, and then smoked
his pipe, expecting momentarily to hear
them at the door.
It was late in the evening before his
anxiety drove him out to look for them
among the neighbors. The next day he
learned that they had been seen in the
railway station at the next village, and
that they had taken the cars going East.
This was all he knew about it. He and
his wife had got along pretty well to
gether. He was perhaps too old to be
much society for her, but she never com
plained. Since ehe had gone off, he re
membered that she had been rather mel
ancholy and moping for some time past.
He thought that she bad " sort of dwelt
of things, bein' so much alone ;" that
she had become "crazy-like," and had
started off with the idea of going to see
some people in New Hampshire whom
Bhe had known before she was married.
But the New Hampshire folks had not
seen or heard of her, and some of the
neighbors said :
" More like she's gone off with a
younger man."
" But you see," said the deserted hus
band, " that ain't likely, as Bhe would
not have taken the children if she was
that wicked."
The police gave a good deal of atten
tion to the case, aa it was a peculiar
one, and they had a feeling of sympathy
for the mau who had suffered such a
terrible loss.
The wife and children were traced to
a town a short distance from Portland,
Me. There a woman and two little chil
dren, answering to the description given
by the police, were seen by the local
Btatlou-master to leave a through train
and walk off in the direction of the vil
lage. It was just before dusk, and
Btiowlng heavily at the time. The road
led along the banks of a river. Tawing
out of the station -master's sight Into
the storm, they were seen no more.
The inquiries never got beyond that.
Those who had been at work upon the
case settled down to tho belief that the
woman had left her home during a fit
of temporary insanity ; that the storm
she encountered on leaving the cars in
creased the confusion of her mind, and
that she had either thrown herself and
children in the river, or had had wan
dered out of the road and had fallen in
with them.
One evening after this conclusion had
heen reached, an officer who had worked
on the case was asked by a young lady
who was visiting at his house to tell her
an interesting case. lie told her the
story of the deserted husband.
The young woman afterward married
aud went to live in a Western city.
Borne years passed, when, on meeting
the olllcer again, she reminded him of
the Btory he had told her, and asked if
anything had been heard of the wife
and children. He said the case remain
ed as profound a mystery as ever.
" Now," she Bald, " I will go on with
the Btory where you ended. The wo
man got off the train at B for the
purpose of misleading those who might
search for.
"Bhe had through tickets to Tort
land ; after going some distance toward
the village, as testified by the station
master, she retraced her steps.
" Eluding observation at the railway
station, Bhe got on a way train that
came along presently, and proceeded to
Tortland. There she was met by a man
who took her to the Grand Trunk Rail
way, and the next train bore them to a
city in the Far West, where they found
a home which had been carefully pre
pared for them. Bhe appeared as the
wife of the man who accompanied her,
and who had recently established the
home to which, as he told the neigh
bors, he was going to bring bis wife and
two children from the East. The chil
dren were too young to know what it
all meant, and were soon taught to be
lieve that they had always known their
new father. -
" In Western communities they are
not bo curious about one's antecedents as
they are in New England, and the fiew
family was accepted as a valuable ac
quisition to the neighborhood. How
did I learn all that V Well, soon after I
settled in , I formed a pleasant ac
quaintance with the lady who lived
next door a quiet, attractive woman,
who seemed to be uncommonly happy
in her married life. ,
" One day, when her husband was ab
sent, she was taken ill. I was sent for ;
and, while under the fear of death, she
told me her story. When she was a
school girl she became engaged to the
man she now lived with. He went
away to seek his fortune, and not long
after she heard he had married. Then,
in her despair, she married a man old
enough to be her father. After she had
been married some three years she beard
that her early love had been true to her.
Bhe wrote imploring him to forgive her.
A correspondence had followed, and by-and-by
she was wrought up to the point
of leaving her husband. All the details
of the elopement had been arranged by
letter ; and, when she joined her lover
In Portland, she saw him for the first
time after a separation of ten years.
Never Forget Anything.
Charge your mind with your duty.
That Is largely the true definition of
faithfulness. But memory and mis
takes are used as apologies a great deal
oftener than necessary . A boy begin
ning business life will generally lose bis
place who pleads such an excuse more
than once or twice.
A successful business man says there
were two things which he learned when
he was eighteen, which were afterward
of much value to him. " Never to lose
anything, and never to forget any
thing." An old lawyer sent him with
an Important paper, with certain in
structions what to do with it.
" But," inquired the young man,
" suppose I lose it ; what shall I do
thenV"
The answer was given with the ut
most emphasis :
" You must not lose It ?"
" I don't mean to," said the young
man, " but suppose I should happen
to r"
" But I say you must not happen to!
I shall make no provision for any such
occurrence. You must not lose It I"
This put a new train of thoughts into
the young man's mind, and he found
that if he was determined to do a thing
he could do it. He made such provision
against every contingency that he never
lost anything. He found it equally true
about forgetting. If a certain matter of
importance was to be remembered, he
pinned it down on his mind, fastened it
there, and made It stay.
A Word to Young Men.
Of all the evils prevalent among young
men, we know of none more blighting
in its moral effects than to speak lightly
of the virtue of a woman. Nor is there
anything In which young men are o
thoroughly mistaken, as to the low es
timate they form of the integrity tt
woman not of their own mothers and
sinters. As a rule, no person who sur
renders himself to this debasing habit is
to be trusted with any enterprise requir
ing Integrity of character. Plain words
should be spoken ou this point, for the
evil Is a general one and deep-rooted.
If young men are Bometlmes thrown
into the society of thoughtless or de
praved women, they have no more right
to measure other women by these than
they would to estimate the character of
honest and respectable citizens by the
department of crime in our police
courts.
Let our young men remember that
their chief happiness depends in utter
faith in woman. No worldly wisdom,
no mlsanthroplo philosophy can cove
or weaken this fundamental truth. It
stands like a record of Ood itself, for it
is nothing less than this and should
put an everlasting seal upon lips that are
wont to speak disparagingly of the Per
fect Woman.
What She Knew About Angels.
Itev. M. H-
- was a Erooil mailt
tuat is, as good as a tobacco chewer can
be, but rough in his ways.
One day he was caught in a shower in
Illinois, and going to a rude cabin near
by, he knocked at the door. A sharp
looking old dame answered his sum
mons. He asked for shelter.
" I don't know you," she replied, sus
piciously. "Remember the Scriptures," he re
plied. " 'Be not forgetful to entertain,
strangers, for thereby some have enter
tained angels unawares."'
" You needn't say that," quickly re
turned the other ; "no angel would come
down here with a big quid of tobacco 1o
his mouth."
She shut the door in his face, leaving
the good man to the mercy of the rain
and his own reflections.
" Them's My Sentiments, 'Zaotly."
The Willlamsport "Gazette and Bul
letin" Bays : Rev. J. J. Pcarce, during
his recent trip to Elk county, preached
in a school house one night. A drunken
fellow was present, who laid down on a
bench and kept very quiet. The door,
which was a very "squeaky" one, was
kept on the swing bo much that It an
noyed the preacher, and he stopped In
his discourse and asked to have quiet
ness". Suddenly the drunken fellow
raised up his head and said : "Them'a
my sentiments, 'Zactly."
The remark brought down the house
and so disconcerted the reverend gentle
man that he could not find a starting
place In his discourse for several min
utes. t&- It is very difficult for one to see
the virtues of others unless he has some
virtue in himself. The bad man always
suspects others of falsehood, and so over
reaches himself; while the good man is
apt to trust everybody, and so get cheat
ed. It is a funny world to live in, and
yet we are all anxious to stay.
A Frenchman said to his hopeful eon:
"My boy, marriage is an honerable in
stitution, therefore I would like to have
you marry." "Very well," replied the
dutiful boy. "I will forthwith wed my
sister." "Your sister I" exclaimed the
astonished parent. "But it is not law
ful to wed your sister." " And why
not, sir V Did you not marry my moth
er, pray ?"
63?" A wayfarer asked a lounger whom
he met on a corner :
" What place is that V
The lounger replied :
"O, that is a rum mill."
Again asked the wayfarer :
" What do they grind there?"
But now the lounger's patience wae
exhausted, and be replied, sourly and
sulkily
" I dunno ; Congressmen, I s'pose."
The wayfarer was squelched, but mut
tered as he turned away :
" These must be the mills of the gods
whioh we read of, for they grind ea
cecdingly maU."
