(From tlic New North-west. 1
The accounts of the recent battle have
been given in general terms in extras, yet
there is still details of the operations pre-
ceding and the plan of action untold.
This we will give briefly and as correctly
as we can collate it from numerous
sources.
The march of Gen. Gibbon and com-
mand from Fort Shaw to Missoula with
100 men, arriving just after the forced
passage of the hostiles through Lo Lo is
well known. Here he took Capt. Ilawn’s
and Capt. Browning’s little commands,
and putting his infantry in wagons
pushed as energetically as horses could
go up the valley after the Indians, then
in Upper Bitter Root Valley. His entire
command of regulars consisted of 148
men. To these were added, principally
near Sleeping Child, volunteers to the
number of 33. The hostiles numbered at
least 250 warriors, with squaws, children,
horses, etc., the latter somewhat encum-
bering their movements, but calculated
to make their lighting doubly desperate.
Thus matters stood on July 7th, when
the command passed out of the Bitter
Root Valley and over into what is called
Ross’ Hole. On the south side of the
valley the command encamped. That
night Lieut. Bradley in command passed
on. Lieut. Jacobs, Bostwick, post guide
at Fort Shaw, and Sergeant Wilson, with
21 regulars and volunteers, bringing the
number up to about 60 mounted men, ac-
companied him. They rode ahead all
night and at daybreak on the morning of
the 8th came close upon the Indian rear
guard without alarming them. The com-
mand rode off the trail and dismounted.
Two men went forward on foot and re-
turning reported they could see and hear
the Indians chopping in camp. Lieuten-
ants Bradley and Jacobs then went for-
ward two miles, climbed a high hill and
then a tree and found the situation as re-
ported, seeing the herd and hearing the
Indians distinctly. A courier was at
once sent back to Gen. Gibbon, 12 miles,
with word that the camp was found.
Gen. Gibbon dropped his train and pushed
on reaching the advance at dark and the
train arrived soon after.
Gen. Gibbon at once determined on a
night movement and a daylight attack.
Tw,o days rations aucj 100 rounds of am-
munition per man were issued, and or-
ders given to move forward at 11 o’clock
that night. The wagon train, under
Hugh Kirkendall, was parked and left
with a guard, and the howitzer with one
pack mule and 2,000 rounds of ammuni-
tion left with it, but ordered to move up
at daybreak. Promptly at 11 o’clock the
command moved forward, Lieut. Bradley
having the left and Capt. Raum the right,
the command moving left in front. As-
tonishing as it may seem the Indians,
who had not moved camp during tlie day
or discovered the presence of Bradley’s
force, had neither scouts, rear or camp
guard out, and from whatever cause, au-
dacity or fancied security, were camped
as defiantly and bodly as though there
was no war and the soldiers were “Ten
thousand miles away.”
Emerging from the mouth of the can-
yon the trail down the Big Hole River
hugs close along the foot hills of the
mountain. This the command followed
three or four miles. The Indian herd
was grazing on the foothills— the Indians
encamped in the bottom. In advancing
the command passed directly between the
herd and camp. Gen. Gibbon on nearing
the camp, suggested to Bostwick, post-
guide, that he had best take a small force
and drive the herd back and up the can-
yoa, hut Bostwick remarking there was
probably a strong herd guard requiring
many men to whip them, and that the
alarm would arouse the whole camp close
by, the General was so impressed by the
suggestion that he countermanded the
discretionary order. It subsequently
transpired there were no herders out.
Moving on, the command emerged on a
bar about 50 feet higher than the valley
and directly overlooking, at a distance of
700 or 800 yards, the Indian camp on the
the right which was on the opposite side
of Ruby Creek, a little stream 35 or 40
feet wide and from knee to breast deep.
The creek ran nearly parallel with the
bar and was fringed on both sides with
clumps of willows. Gen. Gibbon and
three other officers had horses; all the
rest of the command were on foot. The
Indian camp was only about 800 to 1,000
yards distant. They tfould see the camp
fires gleaming, hear the men jabbering,
dogs barking, and babies crying. Present-
ly the fires died down gradually, and
Bostwick said, “They have no idea of
our presence; after while you will see fires
replenished if we still remain undis
covered.” Sure enough, in the course of
an hour the squaws started up the fires
again, and all was quiet except the occa
sional whinneyiug of horses, hundreds of
which were grazing near the command
and took ho alarm from their presence.
Gen. Gibbon then, it being near day-
break on Thursday, moved his command
down to the willows skirting the creek
and they were all or nearly all in position
within 100 yards of the teepees when the
fight opened. The line deployed as skir-
mishers was formed parallel to the Indian
camp which lay in a bend of the stream
and contained 89 lodges. The orders
were “when the first gun is fired charge
the camp with the whole line.” The gun
was soon fired. It is a question of doubt
with the officers we have interviewed who
fired the first shot. It is certain, how-
ever, that an Indian started for the herd
about daybreak on horseback and came
upon the left of the line under Bradley,
who had the volunteers. Either he or
they fired and the battle was opened. He
was killed. In a moment the whole line
charged, was broken up somewhat by the
willows and stream, but was in the camp
in two or three minutes, tearing open
teepees and blazing away at every Indian
^Been. It was the most complete surprise
possible, and to this and the tremendous
execution of the first few minutes is at-
tributable the fact that the command was
not annihilated. How many Indians
were killed in the next ten minutes is not
now and perhaps never may be known.
It is probable, however, that over one
hundred were killed in the next few min-
utes. Some of the Indians dashed into
the willows and among others the one
who met and shot Lieutenant Bradley,
probably the first man killed. Hurlburt,
of K Co., shot this Indian dead as Brad-
ley fell. The others broke to the rear
which was open prairie but ran for the
flanks and got under cover of the willows
and trees from which they did fatal exe-
cution. Capt. Logan was soon after shot
through the head and fell dead instantly.
The Indians rallied quickly and a heavy
fire was opened all around, squaws, bucks,
old men and children all taking a hand.
The soldiers tried to burn the camp, but
most of the teepees were canvass and
damp with dew or frost and ignited
poorly and only four or five were burned.
Here in the willows and the camp, back
and forward, routing the squads of In-
dians from cover of willows, trees and
creek beds, only to find them renew the
fire from other points, the battle raged
for two hours, many a good man went
down in the fray, but double their num-
ber of Indiaus bit the dust. Veterans of
many campaigns tell us it was the hard-
esr contested field they were ever on.
During this time the howitzer, which
had been brought up within a short dis-
tance of the fight, was intercepted by 50
or 60 warriors who enveloped the piece
and the five men with it. Three shots
were fired. Both Sergeants were shot and
the corporal killed, and the wounded
horses fell on the driver. Two men with
the piece deserted their comrades and fled.
After firiug the three shots the Sergeants
upset the gun, threw away the friction
primers and ran for cover, they and the
driver finally getting to the command.
On hearing the gun discharged twice
and then silence ensuing, the command
knew the piece was captured and sup-
posed the train was captured also, but
Hugh Kirkendall and his 15 or 20 men
were equal to the emergency, entrenched
quickly and were ready for an attack but
none was made. The Indians destroyed
all the powder in the gun ammunition,
picked up the wheels between two horses,
and carried off and hid them and every
possible portion of the gun apd carriage.
Sergeant Wilson says that when me gun
was silenced, a portion of the men thought
there was an order to go back and capture
it, and quite a number started back on
that mission, but halted to fight again in
the willows. No such order was issued.
Finally the Indians, who had occupied
all the commanding and protected posi-
tions with sharpshooters, at some dis-
tance, were picking off too many men
who were unprotected in the open field,
and Gen. Gibbon, fearing his ammuni-
tion would not he replenished determined
to withdraw from the bottom and take a
defensive position. The order was given
and taking their wounded with them the
command fell back to the right and rear
about 1,000 yards to get possession of a
wooded point on the trail they had come
over. When nearing the bluffs, falling
back under a hot fire, a portion of the
line got restless and hurried, when Gen.
Gibbon, who had been in the thickest of
the fight and was already dismounted and
wounded, told them unless they moved as
ordered he would make them fight it out
right there. The line moved thereafter
as on parade. The Indians had already
gotten possession of the objective point,
but were soon dislodged. The command
got into position, but were completely
surrounded by sharpshooters and under a
galling fire, the Indians doing splendid
work and eliciting from the beleaguered
command expressions of admiration for
their excellent marksmanship as well as
their prowess in fierce, close work. It is
the universal opinion now that the Nez
l’erces are the best Indian fighters on the
continent, and it is therefore the highest
tribute to Gibbon’s gallautcommand that
he attacked them in double his numbers,
whipped them out of the camp and held
it and killed double the number he lost.
It is the most heroic Indian fight on rec-
ord, save the hopeless one of Custer’s and
has covered the Seventh Infantry with a
glory that will not fade.
Getting into position tiie command at
once began to intrench, and although
only two companies had trowel bayonets
and the sharp-shooters’ fire was murder-
ously accurate, a sufficient rifle pit was
soon thrown up in an irregular circle to
afford considerable protection. One-half
of the loss, however, was sustained after
getting this position, Co. A suffering es-
pecially from being in a position exposed
to a front and flank fire from a strong
force of Indians. The soldiers were dis-
posed to return the fire as fiercely, but
Gen. Gibbon urged the husbanding of
ammunition, knowing bis pack animal
reserve of 2,000 rounds was gone, fearing
the train had shared the same fate, and
having no idea when Howard or other re-
lief would come. The fire, therefore,
slackened, and ev«ry cartridge was made
to count. Soon another danger threat-
ened— starvation. The rations in the
haversacks had been ruined in the re-
peated charges to and fro across the creek
and many had thrown them away. The
Indians had struck their lodges and were
apparently moving their main force away
but the command was still environed by
a circle of destructive marksmen under
cover of willows and trees and they could
not be dislodged. Getting to windward
of the position, the Indians also fired the
timber and grass, and although there was
no fear of a fair charge, to which the
command repeatedly heard the chiefs
urging their men, they were apprehensive
that under cover of a dense volume of
drifting smoke they might come down en
masse and carry a portion of the works
This, however, was soon dissipated as
the fire was a failure, and night found the
command masters of the situation in all
save food and water. The latter was ob-
tained by going down the bank some 25
or 30 yards, and a wounded horse was
killed for food. Gen. Gibbon says, “I
ate a piece of it and it tasted very well.”
During the night Edwards and another
man started for Deer Lodge bringing the
first news. Five volunteers also left for
Bitter Root declining to stay and take
chances on starvation. Early the next
morning (Friday) a courier from Howard
made his appearance and gave the wel-
come news of Howard’s approach. On
being questioned about the train lie re-
plied that he had seen nothing of it, and
as he had to pass within a few yards of
it in a canyon, this confirmed the belief
that it had been captured. However he
soon recollected of hearing some horses
neigh as he passed the point described,
but thought they were Indian horses.
The hope thus inspired led to the organ-
ization of a party, who went back and
found the train all right. It was worked
up at once and readied the camp with
full supplies that evening, ending the
two day’s starvation. The next day,
(Saturday) at noon, Gen. Howard, with
Capt. Robbins’ Bannack scouts and an
escort of one Company of Cavalry rode
into the camp and were gladly welcomed
by the beleaguered command, although
the worst bad passed, and but 18 or 20
Indians were hovering around. Sergt.
Wilson and Mr. Blodgett, who had made
a reconnoissance from a neighboring hill,
had seen the camp that moruing some 15
or 18 miles to the South-west, and the
dust indicating the herd was moving
towards Lemhi. Gen. Howard’s Cavalry
all came up on the 12th. The dead, foe
and friend, were all buried. The Indiaus
had carried off mauy of their dead war-
riors and all the wounded, leaving 15
bucks and all the squaws and papooses on
the field. The wounded soldiers and
citizens were placed in wagons and on
Monday, 13th, Howard pushed off after
the hostiles and the wounded came down
the Big Hole, meeting the ambulance
train and escort 15 miles this side the
battle-ground. This is a meagre outline
of the operations preceding and succeed-
ing the battle of Big Hole, as gallant a
fight as ever made and the hardest blow
the hostiles have yet received. Other

Brigham Young’s Will.
All Estate Worth $’2,000,000 Divided Among
Seventeen When and Forty-four Children.
Salt Lake City, Sept. 3. — Brigham
Young’s will was read to-day iu the pres-
ence of all his wives and children and a
fewfriends. Brigham Young, Jr., Geo.
O. Cannon, and Albert Carrington are
named as his executors. The estate is
largely real estate, and is probably worth
$2,000,000. The will was made four years
ago. when the younger child, born of Mary
Van Cott, was three years old. Brig-
ham Young was the father of fifty-six
children, and left seventeen wives, six-
teeih-^ms, and twenty-eight daughters.
The will aims to make an equitable di-
vision of the property between all the
wives and children, with no preference to
any. Most all of them have already had
something deeded to them. On this a
valuation was set, and it is to be charged
to the recipients as part of their share,
though not necessarily at the valuation
he put on it. That is to be equitably ad-
justed when the estate is divided upon
the youngest child coming of age. Mean-
while the income is to go to the various
mothers according to the number of their
children, and they can withhold it if the
children behave badly. All are provided
for as far as their present needs are con-
cerned. His first wife and Amelia are
given a life interest in the Amelia Falace
—a large, modern, new, fine house; but
lie is known to have changed his miud
about that, chiefly because they declined
it for reasons best known to themselves,
although nothing in or out of the will
has as yet jiome to light showing it, and
they are inSt otherwise provided for ex-
cept by their share of the income. De-
ceased held many interests in trust for
the churci; and for iudividuais. II is exe-
cutors are directed to turn them over
properly. The church is forbidden by
law to hold more than $50,000 worth of
property; and so it was largely held by
Brigham Young in trust. His frieuds
will not entertain the notion that lie ever
abused that trust. There is no inventory
of the property on the estate, and it is
widely scattered. With the country pros-
perous and full of money, it would he
worth twice the above valuation. Re-
cently Brigham Young endowed an aca-
demy with lands at Provo and another at
reports and conjectures from tost news,
will he found uaflur^Spcccooive extras
published herewith. There is uo dcubt
the hostiles are badly crippled, and w
believe with Gen, Gibbon that their total
destruction within a few davs is inevi-
table. The country owes a debt of grat-
itude to Gen. Gibbon and his brave hand-
ful of regulars and volunteers for the
telling and terrible blow struck on Big
Hole. Circumstances prevent the writiug
of a fitting tribute or mention of details
in this issue, but these are the general
facts as nearly as can be obtained. There
is work yet to be done and if it shall re-
sult in the annihilation of the hostiles it
will bring peace to the border for many a
year to come.
The Mean Small Boy.
The mean small boy is different from
the mean big boy, because all of his tricks
are calculated to make other hearts ache.
He now takes a silver quarter and makes
it fast to a string, aud to see him hang-
ing about the post-office one would set
him down as a boy who never had an
evil thought. He selects a victim, and
drops the quarter where it will do the
most good. The ring of the metal com-
mands notice at once, and the programme
is carried out as in a case yesterday. The
victim was a short man, with a very red
neck, and when he heard the quarter
drop he clapped his hand on his pocket
and looked around.
“Did you drop a quarter?” mildly ask-
ed the mean small boy, pointing to one
on the stone floor.
“Ah! must be a hole in my pocket,” re-
plied the fat man, as he pulled up the
knees of his pauts and bent over to pick
it up.
He had his fingers on the money when
it slid away, and as he straightened up
he was greeted with fiendish chuckles
from half a dozen mean big and mean
small boys, one of whom inquired:
“Which pocket has a hole in it?”
The man didn’t say. From some inex-
plicable reason he refused to enter into
any explanation, but hastened away.

A Description of the
Instrument and Its Construc-
tion.
Five sons and seven daughters of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Johnathan Barker, of
Nantucket, are now living whose ages
are respectively 78, 76, 73, 70, 68, 65, 63,
59, 67, 56, 53, 51. These twelve constitute
all the children of the family, except one
who died in infancy. The father was, at
the time of his death, 88, aud tiie mother
died at the age of 77.

The New York Telephone Company
have in practical operation a new kind
of telephone, which, from its simplicity
of construction and perfection with
which it works, bids fair to become an
article of every-day use. The telephone
is operated entirely without the use of a
galvanic battery. It is in appearance a
pear-shaped piece of mahogony, with an
orifice at the large eud, and a flexible
silk-covered wire emerging from the
small end. Being opened it is seen to
consist of a powerful steel magnet run-
ning nearly through the instrument,
lengthwise, and wound with a coil of in-
sulated wire, which is connected witli tiie
line in front of this maguet, but in con-
tact with it is a disc of soft, thin iron.
The voice strikes against this disc and
causes it to vibrate, and as it approaches
and recedes from the magnet a curreut
of electricity is generated. This current
passes over the wire, and attracts and re-
pels the disc in the telephone attached to
the ot^r end of tiie line; this same sim-
ple instrument being used in sending and
receiving messages, or rather, iu talking
and listening. Attracting the attention
of the gentlemen at the Broad-street of-
fice, the reporter was directed to apply
the instrument to his ear while a conver-
sation was held between the two points.
A roaring sound, like that perceptible
when a shell is applied to the ear, was all
that was noticeable at first; then a voice
was distinctly audible, saying: “I hope
the gentlemen is pleased with tiie work-
ing of the instrument.” The voice sound-
ed as if the words had been spoken from
the floor below through an ordinary speak-
ing tube. The roaring noise, as explain-
ed, was the noise of the street, which the
wire picked up on its way between the
two points. Tiie telephone was then
placed in connection with an office at
Broadway aud Thirteenth street, and a
young man answered tiie call, who not
only spoke audibly, but sung a rollicking
song and whistled “Tommy make room
for your Auntie,” which was very dis-
tinctly heard. This telephone has been
tried a distance of eight miles with equal-
ly satisfactory results.— N. l r . Special to

A Colored Diplomatist.
A well dressed negro applied to tiie
Judge of Probate of this city for a mar-
riage license. He was asked how old his
intended was. aud answered witli great
animation, “Just sixteen, Judge — sweet
sixteen, and de handsomest girl iu town.”
The Judge said he could not do it as the
law forbade him to issue license to any one
under eighteen. “Well, hold on, Judge,”
exclaimed the man. "1 know dat dem
girls am deceitful and lie about der age.
She is nineteen if a day.” “Will you
swear to it?” asked the Judge. “Yes,
sail,” he replied, and did. “And how old
are you?” said tiie Judge. The chap
looked suspicious, and replied cautious-
ly, “Thirty-five,” and added, “If dat
won’t do. Judge, I’ve got more hack.”—

Why not establish a quiet retreat for
the loafer, where his bad examples of
idleness would have no influence upon the
rising generation. The men who toil
not, nor spin, seem to get along best in
this world, and the young folks see it.
Mars is now a superb object seen
through the telescope. We had on Tues-
day evening a view of the ruddy planet
through the fine instrument of the Roger
Williams Observatory. A fiery bail of
glowing red seemed suddenly to spring
into existence as tiie planet entered the
field of vision. In size it approached that
of the full moon w.len high up in the
heavens, and such was the brightness
and fierceness of its rays that we invol-
untarily sought to shade our eyes from
the glare. At first we saw nothing but
a brilliant, flame colored disc, its circum-
ference aglow with prismatic hues caused
by chromatic aberration, without a trace
of zones of snow or the strange markings
that practiced eyes discover on the Mar-
tian globe. As we observed more care-
fully, tiie ice bound circles came as plain-
ly into view as the well known features
of tiie man in the moon in our own lu-
minary, and wo enjoyed a peep at the
Martian poles, the southern polar cap be-
ing much larger than tiie northern, for
it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere,
and the ice zone around tiie pole lias
partly disappeared under the influence of
the sun’s heat. A still more careful
scrutiny revealed tiie presence of dusky
spots on the beaming disc. These indi-
cate the land, which is of a reddish hue
when the planet’s atmosphere is clear.
The lighter parts, of a greenish hue, mark
the contour of the seas and oceans.
Thus with our own eyes we saw land,
water, aud ice on tiie surface of our Mar-
tian neighbor, and had a view of its rud-
dy disc, which, after a few weeks have
passed, will not be equaled in size and
brilliancy until 1892. Though Jupiter,
with its brilliant belts aud sparkling
moons, is a grander telescopic object, and
Saturn, witli its wondrous ring system
and numerous moons, exceeds in beauty
every sight in the celestial picture galle-
ry, yet we obtain a better view, and on a
larger scale, of Mars than of any other
object in tiie heavens except the moon.
It is probably the only planet whose real
service is ever visible; for Venus, though
the most splendid of all planets to the
naked eye, is, on accouut of its great lus-
ter, unsatisfactory for telescopic observa-
tion, and Jupiter and Saturn are sur-
rounded by cloud envelopes of immense
extent that hide the solid portions from
the eyes . — Providence Journal.
“Mother, I saved the house, hut I
shall die,” said a six-year old girl to Mrs.
Theodore Markham as she entered her
home at High Market, Lewis county, one
1i»y this week. The cliiM, «K l«
ing to light a lamp to warm some milk
for a baby, set fire to her clothing. Her
first thought was to run out of doors,
fearing that the house would be burned
and the baby hurt, but noticing that
shreds of her clothing had fallen upon tiie
floor, she carefully extinguished the
flames. Then she ran to a horse-trough
in the yard, and plunged into tiie water.
Returning to the house, shb waited pa-
tiently for her mother to return, dying in
an hour after the accident.

The most rapid waste of a fortune on
record is that accomplished by John Tay-
lor Johnston. His father, iu the course
of a long life, accumulated a million for
his son, and the latter sank the whole of
it in two years. He had become l’resi-
dent of tiie New Jersey Central Hoad , iu
which he embarked his entire fortune.
The failure of this road ruined him in a
complete and hopeless manner. Never
before lias a million been so rapidly
thrown away bv a man who had no bad
habits, and was making every honest ef-
fort to increase liis wealth . — Philadelphia

Birth of the Cucumber.— Boston
Courier says:
“A .seraph was sick with colic one day,
And, weeping, leaned over the moon;
The tears, as they fell, floated lightly away
On the gossamer pinions of June.
“But one, as it drifted along in the damp.
Sank wearily down to the earth;
As trembling it lay, ’twas embraced by a cramp,
And the cucumber blushed into birth.”
Dr. Mary Walker, feeling that she
stilllacked some manly accomplishments,
took a chew of tobacco one day last week,
and in twenty minutes thereafter she
was so limp she had to swallow a ramrod
before she could sit up in the street car.—

It is said that the President is not at
all pleased with the partial and condi
tional indorsement of the Pennsylvania
Republican Convention. Hartranft had
promised him an unqualified indorse-
ment, but was unable to deliver the
goods.
The Courier-Journal says: Very pleas-
ant reading is that this morning in the

cerning the revival of business in Louis-
ville. In fact, the whole country has
been feeling better in the past few days,
with the exception, perhaps, of portions
of Pennsylvania.
TnE Louisville City Council has at
last, after two years of lighting, granted
a new Gas Company the right to lay down

contest the new Company’s privileges
bitterly in the Courts.
Reports from Maine indicate the re-
election of Gov. Conner, last Monday, by
about 6,000 majority, and a decided ma-
jority of Republicans in both branches of
the Legislature. Of thirty-one Senators
twenty-nine Republicans are reported
elected. The Greenback candidate for
Governor received about 3,000 votes.
Almost the entire press of the South
concur in the opinion that that section
is especially blessed this season. Every-
body is at work. The crops have been
cultivated with economy and promise a
heavy yield. From almost every quarter
come the good tidings, which indicate a
prospect of abundance.
We printed a little paragraph in the
last issue of the Advocate, on the au-
thority of the Frankfort correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, to the effect
that Hon. Isaac Caldwell was no longer
a candidate for the United States Senate.
The correspondent was mistaken. Mr.
Caldwell says he has never written a
word to any member of the Legislature
about the United States Senate or any
other subject since the last election.
Pinkerton’s detectives have discov-
ered between 190 aud 200 boys in various
parts of the country each of whom an-
swered more or less to the description of

made by prominent citizens of Philadel-
phia has been almost entirely expended

The joint discussion that has been ar-
ranged in Ohio between Senator Mat-
thews and Gen. Ewing will consist of
four meetings: At Dayton on Monday,
17th inst.; at Chillicothe on the 18th; at
Shelby on the 20th; at Alliance on the
21st. The contest in that State is waxing
warm, and the prospect for Democratic
success is growing brighter every day.
Thos. Francis Curley, who was
hanged in Pennsylvania, last Monday,
was only nineteen years of age. Two
years ago he killed Miss Mary Ann Whit-
by merely beeause she refused to corrobo-
rate a falsehood which he had told his
employer. The Sheriff refused to allow
the brother of Miss Whitby to attend the
execution.
The Democrats at the recent election
in California won a splendid victory.
The Democratic majority on joint ballot
in the Legislature will be thirty-eight,
and what is more important, this body
will choose a United States Senator in
place of Sargeaut, who is an extreme Re-
publican. Sargeant is a very corrupt
politician. He is believed to have bought
his election to the Senate. The possess'
ion of a large fortune is the only thing
that has given him any respectability.
Referring to the SpoaUorahip, the
Cincinnati Enquirer is of the opinion that
Milton Sayler’s chances are very good for
securing the prize. Assuming that the
Speakership does not fall to a Southern
man, it says that “Randall aud Cox in
the East are to be pitted against Sayler
aud Morrison in the West— a four-handed
game. The Western side has the advan-
tage in that the Western candidates are
really playing as partners, while the
Eastern men are playing both against
them and bitterly against each other. It
is now certain that Cox will not be the
Speaker, and that strong elements are at
work against Randall.
—
The twelve apostles who now have su-
preme control in the Church of the Lat-
ter-Day Saints, are engaged in looking
over Brigham Young’s books and papers.
They want to find out what belongs to
the Church and what belonged to Brig-
ham. The Prophet had a habit of mix-
ing things, and taking personal title to
property of which he was really only trus-
tee for the Saints. It is said that there
is a fine crop of lawsuits in prospect, and
if the lawyers get a fair whack at it,
there will not be much left for division
among the seventeen wives and forty-
four living children out of the $2,000,000,
at which Brigham’s fortune has been ap-
praised .
The venerable Alvin Adams, the foun-
der of the Adams Express Company, who
died at his residence in Watertown, Mass.,
a few days ago, at the age of seventy-five
years, began life in poverty. For three
years he was his own messeuger, cashier,
clerk, label boy and porter. His entire
establishment consisted of Adams, a
valise, aBd desk room in an office. He
did not dream of the magnitude the bu-
siness would assume, but it followed the
development of the railroad and the
steamship, till not only the United States
but Europe, Asia and Australia were in-
cluded in the network of its agencies. A
few years ago Mr. Adams said that al-
ways in some quarter of the globe the sun
was shining on his name— a nobler boast
than that of England that the roll of her
drum followed the sunrise round the
globe.
The rascality of the South Carolina
ring thieves is being brought to light,
The New York World on the 10th, print-
ed a long aud detailed statement, or con-
fession, made by Niles G. Parker, Ex-
State Treasurer of South Carolina, but
at present living in Jersey City, in which
he makes startling charges of corruption
against Ex-Governors Moses, Chamber-
lain, and Scott, United States Senator
Patterson, Financial Agent Kimpton,
and other members of the ring which
plundered the Palmetto State of millions.
Parker frankly acknowledges his own
guilt in all this, since it appears by his
statement that most of the stolen moneys
were paid out by him in his official ca-
pacity. He is now under indictment.
He professes sorrow for his crimes, and
his readiness to go to South Carolina for
trial. His statement, if substantiated,
will confirm the formal charges against
Patterson, and doubtless lead to the in-
dictment of Chamberlain. They are cor-
roborated by a voluminous array of fig-
ures, dates, circumstances, &c., in which
the connection of Governor Chamberlain
with the fraudulent issue of bonds seems
to be made clear. Parker’s motive for
making the confession is given by him-
self in his refusal to be made the scape-
goat for the crimes of his allies.
The following, from that intense Re-
publican journal, the Cincinnati Gazette,
is rather encouraging: “It begins to look
as if the Democrats, with a little gener-
alship, might be able to control the or
ganization of the United States Senate
at the October session. Senator Morton’s
absence will reduce the Republican ma-
jority to two, and one of those two, it is
claimed by the Democrats, can be in-
duced to “rise above party” for the occa-
sion. Senator Spencer’s prolonged stay
in the Black Hills is only wanting to the
success of the programme.

The poems it includes are the result of
those years of introspective thought and
passionate emotion, through which high-

many readers already familiar with Mrs.
Ketchum’s name.”
At Wapakoneta, Ohio, last Thursday
night, between 9 and 10 o’clock, the
County Treasurer, on his way home from
a festival, was captured almost in the
center of the town, gagged, carried down
an alley, held a prisoner till midnight,
then taken to the Court House, and, after
being subjected to a severe ordeal of fire,
which was placed between his feet as he
lay on the floor, was compelled to divulge
the combination of the county safe, and
some $40,000 was taken therefrom. Mr.
Myers, the Treasurer, discovered
next morning in a helplessAul suffering
condition. liis-wiets. f-T»”tnouth and
face were witness to much suffering. Mr.
Myers was the outgoing Treasurer, and
should have delivered up the ollice ou the
1st inst., but owing to some delay in the
settlement of accounts, he was still in
possession.
There is not a more consistent Dem-
ocrat in the Union than Senator Bayard,
of Deleware, nor one whose utterances
are received with more favor. He was
interviewed recently at Richmond, Va.,
and the following is the substance of
what he said regarding the l’resident’s
Southern policy: “I thank God for the
policy of President Hayes. He has dis-
posed of the only obstacle that stood be-
tween the suffering South and the full en-
joyment of her constitutional liberties.
He has not only carried out the Demo-
cratic policy, but he has carried the Re-
publicans with him. I think he has the
cordial support of fully seventy-five per
cent, of his party. Many who were doubt-
ful at first, now see that the time was
ripe for the restoration of every Southern
State to self-government under the Con-
stitution. The history of the States since
the troops were removed is one of the
very best arguments why Republicans
and Democrats should approve of Mr.
Hayes’ policy on this subject.” In re-
sponse to the question, “What do you
think of the situation in Ohio?” Senator
Bayard is quoted as saying: “I am not
qualified to speak of the contest in detail,
but 1 must say that the doctrines ad-
vanced by Mr, Sherman in his financial
address lately delivered are of the great-
est significance. It is the first time in
the history of the country that a Cabinet
Minister has taken the stump in bold and
open advocacy of the tenets of the Com-
mune.”
President Hayes, Secretaries Evarts,
McCrary and Thompson, and Postmaster
General Key, with the members’ fami-
lies, will positively be in Louisville on
the 17th and 18th of September. Secreta-
ry Schurz will probably be with them.
General Devens has not been heard from.
Twelve or more Governors will also be in
Louisville during the Presidential visit,
among them Hampton, and very likely
Nichols. The people are very enthusias-
tic over the coming of the distinguished
parties, and the welcome to be extended
them, will in every way reflect credit up-
on Kentucky. There are thirteen squares
from the Ohio and Mississippi Depot to
the Galt House. Each square is to rep-
resent one of the original States, and at
each corner there will be decorations
with devices symbolizing the State.—
Fourth street is to represent Kentucky,
the first-born of the Union, and will be
decorated appropriately. At certain cor-
ners the decorations by the committee,
combined with those of the citizens, will
make one of the finest scenes ever wit-
nessed. The invitations to the reception
at the Galt House, have been distributed,
about 2,000 in all, to various parts of the
State and different cities of the country,
as well as to the people in Louisville,
and it is expected that the attendance of
prominent personages of this and other
States will be large. The School Board
has declared the 17th and 18th holidays,
and it has been resolved by the General
Council of the city of Louisville that the
freedom of the city be granted to Presi-
dent Hayes and his suite and the Gover-
nors of the different States, and the most
cordial and earnest welcome is hereby ex-
tended them, aud further, that the Gene-
ral Council wait upon them in a body.

If any reader of the Advocate is in
want of a Good Farm Wag on he should
certainly give Wearen & Evans, of our
city, a "call before making a purchase
elsewhere. They are selling wagons of
the best make at lower rates than ever
heard of before in this part of the country.
Their prices are as low as those of whole-
sale dealers anywhere. Those who need
wagons appreciate this and come eager to
purchase. Messrs. W. & E. informed us
that their sales often amounted to four
wagons a day and that they expect to sell
one hundred or more of these wagons per
year. We advise farmers, even if they do
not need anything of the kind, just to
call and examine for themselves.
The murder of John Engleman, Sr.,
which occurred last Friday evening, has
perhaps been heard of by many of your
readers. The particulars are about as
follows: On the evening meut^Aaed, Mr.
Engleman and his sou Sam went up on
the knobs to Henderson Young’s store
for a load of boards. Sam drove and his
father rode on horse-back. While iu front
of Young’s store loading their wagon,
Jerry Brown, a very black, short, heavy-
set negro about twenty-five years of age,
came along driving a two-horse wagou.
He stopped aud went in the store. When
he came out and tried to start, his horses,
being young, did not move off gently, but
“cut up” a little. Mr. E. made some
humorous remark to the negro, who re-
torted in an insolent manner. Just then
his horses started, aud this ended the
matter for a short time. Mr. E.’s wagon
was loaded and ready to go, so he mount-
ed his horse and rode on, leaving Sam to
drive the wagon. In some 300 or 400
yards Mr. E. overtook the negro and an
altercation ensued. The party from whom
our information is obtainei was not near
enough to hear what waj said, but he
could see from the motions of the two
that angry words were parsing. Pretty
soon the negro whirled of! his horse aud
stooped to pick up a rock. Mr. E. did
the same, aud then each started around
to meet the other. Mr. E. either threw
his rock or attempted to throw it, and iu
doing so fell on his hands and knees, being
a very weak, old man, 70 years or more
of age, and while iu this posture the ne-
gro sprang on him and struck him in the
back of the head with his rock, mashing
in the skull aud then pushing him over
ou the ground. This done, he mounted
his horse and drove on. Jos. Baugh
near whose house the affair occurred, saw
the latter part of it and shouted at the

Rye is being delivered at depot here at

At this price it will bring the farmer in

prices be higher.

The Live Slock Record urges farmers

It is a wonder from the dearth or scarity

carriage and handsome coupe horses
must pay handsomely for years to come,

The produce and provision markets
have a hardening tendency. In view of

reason is that the manufactured article

Long combing woolj such as was sold in

The farm of 200 acres, belonging to
the heirs of Leonard Taylor, dec’d., sit-
uate in this county, on the waters of Salt
River, was rented publicly, last Satur
day, to Jas. II. Taylor, (one of the heirs,)
at $710 for the year. This is considered
a good price. We find that the demand
for rented land is good, but it is difficult
to sell at any price. We do not,’ think it
possible for the best blue-gras3 lands in
this section to get any lower than they
are now, and those who contemplate buy-
ing should not neglect the present favor-
able opportunity.
We note a slight improvement in the
condition of the wheat market since our
last report, dealers and millers having
advanced toll 05 for choice lots, medium
aud prime selling at 90 cents to $1 00, as
to quality. We are still of the opinion
that later in the season prices will ad-
vance. The European countries want all
the wheat we are able to spare, but can
not take it all at once. The visible sup-
ply of grain at the principal cities is now
fifty per cent, less than at this time last
year which is a healthy sign.
Lexington Press: Mr. E. DeLong
made recently the largest sale of cabbage
seed ever made in Lexington. One pound
is considered a good sale, but he sold one
hundred pounds to the Shakers. It ap-
pears that that community, good farmers
as they are, were unable this year to raise
any good seed, owing to the depredations
of a worm which destroyed the very head
of the cabbage. The blight thus occa-
sioned has been so general as to cause
the price of cabbage seed to advance over
100 per cent.
There was an immense attendence at
the Fair grounds, at Lexington, last
Monday, to witness Goldsmith Maid
trot, but owing to the rain the track was
heavy, the time slow" and the crowd was
disappointed. The Maid only trotted
two miles, the first in 2:341, and the sec-
ond in 2:32i. Her running mate was a
thoroughbred out of one of the training
stables, and was with difficulty restrain-
ed from running away from her. As an
enterprise the affair was a success, as a
sport a failure.
In several issues of our paper we have
made it a point to try and induce our
farmers to commence in time about
making their selections of seed wheat.
Above every other consideration see that
it is clean from chess, cockle and rye. We
saw to-day a choice article of wheat sell
at ten cents below the market price by
having rye and cockle iu it, making a
difference of over $50 on the crop, enough
to have paid for the seeding of the land
with clean wheat. It is no trouble to
clean wheat. Those not able to buy a
seed fan can get a No. 8 seive, which will
make the proper seperation. Much greater
attention is being given to wheat grow-
ing in Kentucky than ever before, and
the Kentucky wheat, when choice, com-
mands the highest prices and we hope our
farmers will make the standard better
and better each year. Our soil is much
better adapted for wheat than many of
our sister States, and we venture the as-
sertion that iu a few years, with careful
and prudent management, our State can
be made the great seed State of the Union,
thus giving our wheat an increased value.
Wheat has already been shipped from our
market to Virginia and Texas, and in-
quiries have come from other StateB,

Will and IJemiiitl,
The prospect for an active fall trade in
Danville is good, if we may judge by the
largfe supplies of -goods our merchants,
grocers, and other tradesmen are now re-
ceiving.
We print on the fourth page of the Ad-
vocate to-day, under the head of “Cur-
rent Topics” artiples from the Richmond
Register and Frankfort Yeoman that have
the ring of the true metal.

fidently Mpected that a number of lai

Hon. M. J. Durham left, last Wed-
nesday, for Baltimore, to attend the an-
nual meeting of the Grand Lodge of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows in the
United States, which will convene in
that city next Monday.
Dr. H. P. Bosley aud wife, of this
city, will leave Garrard next week for
San Antonio, Texas, to remain a number
of months. The visit is made with the
hope of restoring the health of Mrs. B.,
who has been for several years an invalid.
Mr. Felix G. Fox, formerly of this
city, we see from a late St. Louis paper,
was one of the incorporators of the Mu-
nicipal Gas-light Company, a new organ-
ization in that city. The capital stock is
fixed at $1,000,000.
The number of students in Centre Col-
lege proper had run up to one hundred
last Tuesday,— a larger’number than had
matriculated up to second week of last
session. There are twenty-two seniors
this year,— the largest elass since the
war.
The Danville Classical and Military
Academy has opened under the most fa-
vorable circumstances. There will be a
larger number of boarders than formerly,
and by the end of the month the matricu-
lation of cadets will be fully up to the
average.
Our worthy colored town carrier, John
Toliver, has received the contract from
the Government for carrying the mails to
and from the Depot to the Post Office, in
this city. His bid was $125 per year, and
was the lowest of eleven bids sent to the
Department.
We print elsewhere the particulars of
the murder of Col. John Engleman, a
well-known citizen of Lincoln, compiled
by our accurate Stanford reporter. Mr.
Engleman was in the 70th year of his
age, and was married to Mary F. Clark,
in 1828, who survives him, but is a help-
less cripple. She and her sons have the
sympathy of a large circle of friends in
ail this part of the State.
Marshal Williams arrested a man
named John Trimble, from Mercer, in
Danville, last Saturday, on a warrant
sworn out against him by Mrs. A. E.
Philips, charging him with abducting
her daughter, Nancy, for carnal inter-
course. Both were taken to Harrods-
burg, and it was expected that Trimble’s
trial would take place this week. The
worst features of the case are: The girl
is a niece of Trimble, only about 15 years
of age, while he is a married man with a
family and about 50 years of age.
We are pleased to announce that we
have on file for publication in the next
issue of the Advocate a well-written
biographical sketch of Dr. Ephraim Mc-
Dowell. This sketch was written for our
columns, and will correct some inaccura-
cies contained in two articles, of recent
dates, that were re-printed in the Advo-
cate from the Frankfort Yeoman. The
criticism, which has been prepared for
the Advocate, is based upon a careful
study of the history of the career of the
eminent surgeon which was recorded
many years since by a learned aud faith-
ful biographer, who gathered the materi-
als for his memoir from the most reliable
sources with painstaking care; and also
from conversation with some of the few
remaining cotemporaries of Dr. Mc-
Dowell.
In an editorial paragraph in the last
issue of the Advocate concerning Mr.
Jas. Clemens, Jr., there were some inac-
curacies as to dates. Mr. Clemens left
Danville in October, 1811 for Sparta,
Tenn., where he remained until April,
1815. From there he went to St. Gene-
vieve, and thence to St. Louis, in April,
1816, where he has remained ever siuce,
We print on the first page of the
Advocate to-day the graphic account
of the late battle between Gen. Gibbon’s
command and the Nez Perces Indians, —
one of the most brilliant fights recorded
in the annals of border warfare. This
was the fight in which Lieut. West
Jacobs and Sam. Heron, of this place,
were engaged, to which a brief allusion
was made in the last issue of the Advo-
cate.
TnEcolored people have an irrepressible
inclination to attend Court, and during
the late session a number of them were
in the habit of indulging in comfortable
naps. Our vigilant Sheriff, thinking it
disrespectful to the Court to turn it iuto
a lodging Iiousp, had several of them be-
fore his Honor, who reproved them, and
gave them to understand that they must
seek other lodgings than the “sanctuary
of justice.”
Our friend, Mr. John Duncan, late
editor of the Farmer's Home Journal , is
now a special correspondent of the Cou-
rier-Journal and editor of the Agricultu-
ral Department of same journal. lie is
a valuable acquisition. We are glad, al-
so, to note the fact that he contemplates,
at an early day the publication of a
Farmers’ Monthly Magazine. An enter-
prise of this character, under his compe-
tent and excellent management, ought
to succeed.
Abe. Williams, of color, made a nar-
row escape from the penitentiary at the
late term of our Circuit Court. He was
saved only by the color of the hog he had
stolen. The indictment was for a red
hog, whereas it was proved that he had
stolen a black Berkshire, and on this tech-
nicality he was permitted to go free. He
was a delighted darkey, sure, when hs
found out that he had saved “his bacon”
by the mistake of the jury.

The Murphy meetings were closed at
Somerset last Sunday night. About 600
signers to the pledge. The meetings
were conducted by Mess. Wenzell and
Rogers.
The death of Mrs. Roht. Rankins, for-
merly of Scott county, this State, occur-
red at Halena, Ark., last Tuesday night.
She was well known in Danville as a visi-
tor to the family of Elder J no. I Rogers.
We extract from the Cincinnati papers
of last Saturday the following item con-
cerning the Southern Railroad freight
tariff: “In consequence of the various
reports through the city papers, and com-
plaints made to the hoard in regard to
the high rate of freight tariff charged by
the Cincinnati Southern Railway, the
Committee on Southern Railroad met
yesterday morniug at the oflice of the
above board to discuss the same. It was
finally resolved that the Secretary be in-
structed to address a letter to President
W. H. Clements requesting him to exam-
ine into aud investigate the cause of these
complaints, and the committee adjourned
subject to the call of the Chairman.”
Dr. Gaillard, in the last number of
the Bi-Weekly, pays a compliment to the
Advocate that is highly appreciated.
Coming from the distinguished source
that it does we hope our readers will
pardon the vanity that we may manifest
in printing it in our columns:
A Secret Worth Knowing.— It is
not the duty or the function of a medical
journal to say anything of secular news
papers; but even though the editor of the
lii- Weekly may be scolded for doing this,
he will, at the expense of a scolding, tell
the Profession a secret worth knowing.
It is this: If any one wishes a first-class,
enterprising weekly newspaper, one whose
editor is always on the qui vivi, and ac-
tive in catering for the leading public, he
should take the “Kentucky Advo-
cate,” published and edited by Messrs.
Marrs & Bruce, Danville, Ky. It is a
paper of high tone and purity, and is re-
markable for its judicious and able sup-
port of the Medical Profession.

On and after next Monday we will have
two trains a day each way, on the South-
ern road, North of this point, and we
will receive our Cincinnati aud Eastern
mails in Danville between 11 a. m., and
12 m. It is not determined that we will
have two trains south of Danville, but
the probability is there will be only one
and that a “mixed” train. Of course
trade and travel will have a good deal to
do with it, and if it is found necessary in
order to meet the demands of either or
both, other trains will doubtless be run.
We learn that a large number of the
better class of the colored population in
Fayette, JeSsaipine, Bourbon, &c., are
going to Kansas, This will be a serious
blow to the agricultural interests, as it
will deprive that t?cti0n of some of its

The advance Agent of Prof. Baldwin,
the great modern exposer of spiritualism,
is in Danville, and is billing the town for
an exhibition on Wednesday night of
next week, the 19th, at James’ Hall.
Wherever Prof. Baldwin has been he has
completely exposed this humbug, and has
delighted the people with his inimitable
performances. The press speak in un-
qualified terms of praise, not only of the
Professor, hut also of Miss Clara Bald-
win, who accompanies him, and whose
specialty is the Katie King mystery,
that so wonderfully “took in” the cele-
brated Roht. Dale Owen.
The negro, Jerry Brown, who killed
Mr. John Engleman, Sr., was brought
through Danville, last Monday, having
been captured in Pulaski, the evening
previous. He had got on the train at the
Tunnel on Saturday night and got off at
Somerset, and then returned some dis-
tance North on the railroad, where he
was captured. He was evidently making
off. He was badly frightened when we
saw him. 11 is appearance was not pre-
possessing. He has a villainous face,
that indicated a brutal nature. He was
a Virginia negro, and came to this coun-
try as a railroad laborer. He had re-
cently been living with Dr. Barbour, near
Hall’s Gap.
Jas. Harlan, Sr,, died at the resi-
dence of his nephew, Jacob Harlan, Esq.,
in this county, on Wednesday, the 10th
inst., in the 79th year of his age. The de-
ceased was one of our oldest and best
known countymen, and was highly es-
teemed as an honest man, a good citizen,
and a devoted follower of Christ. Ho
was identified with the Reformation
movement of Alexander Campbell quite
early and adhered through his long life
with tenacity to the principles of primi-
tive Christianity as taught by him. He
was, for a number of years, an Elder of
the Christian Church, in this city, and
died in office. In his life he had his re-
verses of fortune, but they did not seem
to weaken his faith or lessen his devo-
tion to the Great Master. His faithful
wife and friends are blessed with the
positive assurance that he has exchanged
the disappointments and sorrows of this
life for the “rest that remaineth to the
people of God.”
Our Circuit Court is still in session,
but will probably adjourn to-day. The
juries were discharged last Wednesday.
A good deal of business has been cleared
from the docket, aud four persons of color
have been sent to the penitentiary for
grand larceny, viz: Frank Jones, 2years;
America Craig, 2 years; Edgar Cecil, 18
months; Ilenry Eater, 3 years. The most
important civil suit that was tried was
the consolidated causes of R. C. Hart vs.
J. L. Ward & Co., and R. T. Hart vs.
Mrs. S. P. Grigsby, involving about
$28,000, and being suits brought to re-
cover that amount from defendant on
notes endorsed as a feme sole. After
having the matter fully presented by the
able counsel on both sides. Judge Owsley
decided that the plaintiffs could not re-
cover, because the action of the Lincoln
Circuit Court in making defendant a
feme sole was not legal. An appeal was
taken. The plaintiffs were represented
by Ex-Gov. Porter, of A’ersailles. and
Durham & Jacobs; the defendant by Judge
Kinkead, of Lexington, John Cowan,
Van Winkle & Rodes, of this city.
Lexington Fair.— In company with,
a number of friends, we attended the
great Fair at Lexington, on Tuesday.
The crowd was not large, but the display
of stock was remarkably fine. The day
was devoted to Cattle— Sheep— Hogs—
Farming Implements— Agricultural Pro-
ducts— Poultry, &c. The show of Cat-
tle, Sheep and Hogs, was decidedly the
best ever seen at a Kentucky Fair. Mr.
A. II. Davenport, formerly of this coun-
ty, exhibited a large number of South-
down Sheep and Berkshire Hogs, most of
them fresh importations. His Sheep
were imported in August, direct from
the herd of Lord Walsingham, in Eng-
land. He captured a number of blue ties.
The officers were prompt and efficient in
their duties; the people generous in their
entertainment. A large number of gen-
tlemen on this side of the River are in-
debted to Mr. W. H. Gentry for a splen-
did dinner. We would like to speak in
detail of a great many things, in connec-
tion with the Fair, but our space forbids
us doing so at .present.

Lexington Gazelle, 10th: We were
informed by Elder McGarvey yesterday
that (25) students have entered the Inde-
pendent Bible College and that they
know of enough to run the number up to
thirty-two or three. This is a good be-
ginning for the new enterprise.
The following dispatch was received
yesterday, (Thursday,) from Rev. J. R.
Deering, in regard to the appointments

There will be no preaching at the

Geo. Philips, at Shelby City, in 1871. In
the last issue we announced that the jury
had returned a verdict for man-slaughter
and fixed his punishment at two years in
the penitentiary. We learn that the
counsel for Mr. Rowsey were able to es-
tablish the fact that the Court had erred
in instructing the jury, upon what was
considered by the defense a vital point,
i. e: a combination on the part of the
Philips party against Rowsey, which jus-
tified the latter in taking the life of Geo.
Philips to save his own. The instruc-
tion as given by the Court did not go far
enough to reach this fact,; and hence ad-
mitted that it was a just and reasonable
ground for a new trial, and so ordered.
Mr. Rowsey immediately gave bail in the
sum of $700, and was set at liberty. He
is confident that he will be able to es-
tablish the fact of the combination
against him, and that when he struck
Geo. Philips with his knife he had the
best of grounds for believing that it was
necessary in order to save himself.
Miss Lulu Vance, the youngest

The efforts of the Grand Jury, during
the present session, to ferret out and
bring to punishment the keepers of the
negro bawdy houses which so notoriously
infest the town, deserve the thanks of the
community, and are the first steps in a
move which must go on until these infa-
mous places are cleared out. The Grand
Jury have done their duty, aud what re-
mains to be accomplished in this matter,
must be effected by the town authorities
aud citizens, and it is gratifying to see
marked indications that public interest
is being awakened to the vast extent and
enormity of this evil in our midst. We
trust that the necessity for using prompt
and energetic measures for its suppress-
ion will be speedily recognized, as it is
time that something is done towards it,
if we wish to preserve the good name of
our town, and what is of far greater im-
port, the morals and health of our sons,
and of the youth from a distance intrust-
ed to our care and supervision. Every
parent, as well as those in charge of the
education of these young men, is directly
interested in seeing that these loathsome
dens are exterminated. As has been
stated in a late issue of the Advocate,
these houses have greatly increased of
late years in number and inmates, and
the latter have been allowed to pursue
their degrading calling so long unchecked
that they have become audacious and de-
fiant to an insufferable degree. The
blight of these foul places is felt every-
where, not alone on the moral and phy-
sical well-being of the frequenters, but
it is seen in the depreciation of all prop-
erty in their immediate vicinity. They
are spreading disease and ruin in every
direction, and half of the evils propagated
by them have not been enumerated. The
story of that unfortunate young white
woman who was found wandering around
town last week, recently escaped from a
Lunatic Asylum, as told on the witness
stand, was a startling corroboration of
many of the statements made here in re-
gard to them. That many of them have
long been receptacles for stolen goods of
every description is more than suspected,
and that idle and worthless negroes
swarm about them constantly is a noto-
rious fact. Here they are soon trained,
if not already proficient, in all manner of
vicious habits. In the cities, when these
establishments become too obnoxious, the
police have a way of raiding them, and
subjecting those arrested to a course of
law. Cannot this system be inaugu-
rated here or some other means as ef-
fectual be put in operation? We shall,
from time to time, as occasion demands,
revert to this subject as long as these vile
resorts are allowed to flourish.

The Lebanon Times and Kentuckian
says: “The steam mill of Mr. Samuel
Maupin, of Taylor county, was totally
destroyed on Monday last, by the explo-
sion of the boiler. While under a high
head of steam the mill was stopped for
the purpose of mending a hand when the
accident happened. Mr. Josiah Brock-
man, standing a hundred yards off, was
instantly killed, while the elder Maupin
and his two sons, J. D. and William, were
seriously, if not fatally, scalded. Richard
Wise, a mill hand, was also very badly
scalded. We learn that the boiler and
engine were both old and much the worse
for wear.”
It is quite clear that fighting on a
grand scale has been going on about
Plevna since Friday morning, hut the
correspondent who reported the capture
of the fortress on Sunday appears to have
been largely in advance of his facts.
Plevna is still held by the Turks, though
they are slowly losing their grip. Osman
Pasha is so hemmed in that he is not ex-
pected to do much telegraphing. The
probability is that a very destructive con-’
flict is in progress. We presume the Rus-
sians will heat the Turks at Plevna, for
they have for five weeks been gathering
up their strength for that purpose. If
they do not win a victory, they will suf-
fer a disaster that will place them on the
defensive until the campaigning season
is over.
Bloody Work in Nelson— Swift
and Just Retribution.— Last Sunday
morning before daylight, Chas. and Geo.
Murrell, two Taylor county desperadoes,
and Sam Ford went into Bardstown and
robbed a large tailor shop there. A col-
ored boy discovered them, and awoinrTflW
Town Marshal, Geo. W. Hunter, who
with the aid of a brother-in-law attacked
the robbers and ran them out of town,
woundiDg Charles Murrell in the arm.
During the day a possee of men started
in pursuit of the three men, and came up
on them asleep, about five miles from the
city. A fight ensued, in which Charles
Murrell received a load in the left side of
his face, shooting off the lower part of
his jaw and killing him. He was just in
the act of firing at the Marshal. The
other two men were arrested and lodged
in the Bardstown jail. Threats to lynch
them have been numerous, and Judge
Wickliffe Monday appointed a special
guard of eight men and a special sheriff
to guard them. The Murrells have been
very desperate men, and, with Holtz-
hauser, were liberated last December
from the Bardstown jail by friends, be-
ing then under arrest for murder. Ford
is also a desperate man.

united with the Presbyterian Church, in company

Tpe church was then in the midst
of a revival
ndneted by Dr. Young, with the assistance of
Rev. N. 11. Iiall. It was a precious work of grace,
aiyl many it is believed experienced a radical and
pwmaaent change of heart. Thus for thirty-one
years the deceased followed her Divine Master.
Urftil her twentieth year Mrs. Fisher attended,
parents, the Baptist Church, hut after
removal to this county she attended Dr.
Nil’s church. When she became a member of
tb«f chinch, she addressed herself to the study of

Tha influence of Divine truth upon her life was
nppiireht to all who knew her.
Her pietv was
conliant and unobtrusive. Her heart was ruled
ny if strong desire to do good, thus imitating Him
“wife went about doing good.” She took into her
fainMy from time to time orphan children, and
keptpbem with her until they were well grown,
she bestowed upon them the affectionate and
watolful care of a mother. How much good she
was tius enabled to accomplish for the temporal
and sliritual interests of these persons, eternity
alonekvill disclose. In their different spheres in
life tlfey cannot fail to realize the beneficial in-
llnonde of her kind, patient Christian culture.
Mrs. jrisuKH was constitutionally timid aud mod-

weretouly fully known and appreciated by those
who Wtre more intimately acquainted with her.
She elljojed the loving regard aud confidence of
all h«r friends. Among all her acquaintances, it
l,s said, she had not a single enemy. Although
she hint been ill lor some days, no one apprehended
that her end was so near. So far as we know, she
herself did not realize it. But we have every rea-
son to believe that grace had wrought a good,
thorosfgH work in her heart, and hence that she
was fdjlv ready to respond to the Master’s sum-

memory willever be mingled with the savor of a

The Richmond Tragedy.
lift 3 Fnrm.
The Man of
Rusiness and
Ulan.
t In* Rusiness
The Richmond Register , of 7th inst.,
has the following: “The gravest appre-
hensions have been entertained by a
number of citizens of this place lest the
friends of the parties who met such a
tragic death in the streets of Richmond
should form a party for the purpose of
making a raid on the town and avenging
what they regard as the uncalled for kill-
ing of their fellows. As some grounds
for such fears, telegrams have been re
ceived from unknown persons warning
the authorities to be on their guard, as it
was believed at Stanford that an organ-
ized effort having this object in view was
in contemplation by certain desperate
men in that county. These warnings
may have been sent by parties whose mo-
tives were entirely worthy, or they may
have been originated with others whose
desire was to create an uneasy excitement
and a continued dread of impending dan-
ger. Whatever the motive, we are candid
in the statement that no further alarm
need be felt. The citizens of Richmond
have determined that the good order
which has prevailed in their midst for a
number of years past shall continue un-
interrupted, and that no set of men from
other counties shall come here and mo-
lest the officers of the town in the lawful
discharge at their duty. Whilst they de-
plore the circumstance which necessitated
the killing of Walter G. Saunders and D.
h. Ballard; whilst their sympathy for the
stricken widow and her two helpless chil-
dren is most profound, and whilst they
would offer her every consolation in her
hour of bereavement and deep sorrow,
yet they remember that duty to law and
order and a proper regard for their own
households demand that they shall stand
by their officers when, in the discharge of
the obligations of their office, they risk
their own lives in the defense of the honor
and good name of the town. And the
bad men who are contemplating any fur-
ther attack in this direction may as well
understand, once for all, that there is no
sort of division of sentiment here in re-
gard to the preservation of peace, and
that no matter who the men may be who
come here for unlawful purposes they
will be dealt with in the most severe
and summary manner. The disgraceful
state of society in some other towns of
Kentucky where outlaws and fugitives
from justice are permitted to go free, a
terror to the more peaceful class of cit-
izens and in defiance of public senti-
ment, has been a terrible warning to the
good people of this community, and they
have resolved as one man that no such
condition of affairs shall exist in their
midst. If reckless parties from other
neighborhoods desire to shoot and slay
their fellow-men, they must seek some
other field for their slaughter, or accept
the fate which is sure to overtake them
if they seek to make Richmond their
battle-ground.”
The Crime at Newcastle.
There can be little doubt in the minds
of persons familiar with the circumstan-
ces, that the four men hung at Newcas
tie, on Monday night, were all guilty of
cold-blooded, cruel, and inhuman mur-
ders. Not only from strong circumstan-
ces was this conviction forced upon the
public mind, but through the direct evi-
dence of one or more members of the Jim
Simmons gang. It was clearly shown
that as many as six irtn*a«rs in.tha n—
degree had* ueen committed in Owen a.id
Henry counties in the last four or five
years, and that all of the men so summa-
rily executed at the hands of a mob were,
singly and collectively, responsible for
these crimes. The names of these per-
sons were James Simmons (the head of
the gang, aud called, generally, “King
Jim”), Bob., Joe. and Sam. Goodrich.
The latter protested his innocence, and
declared that he had never participated
in any of the murders. There is a bare
possibility that he might have been inno
cent, but circumstances are fearfully
against him.
The act of hanging these men was one
which finds precedent in almost every
State of the United States. It has grown
common in nearly every community, and
it illustrates plainly that society is pas-
sionate, and that being outraged, it will
retaliate, and not brook the delays of the
law. These lessons are salutary and in-
delible. They strike terror to wrong-do
ers, and have the effect to paralyze crime;
aud yet, under the laws of the land, such
acts, at the hands of a mob, are high
crimes of themselves. They are contrary
to the spirit of all law. They are dis
ruptive of the social organization, and
they should be everywhere condemned.
All men who commit crimes under this
government are entitled to fair trials by
juries duly chosen under the forms of
law. No matter what may be the results
of these trials— no matter how they an-
tagonize the public conviction— they are
a part of the social compact, and their
sacred character ought to be respected.
The inspired source of all law has given
us the admonition that “it is better nine-
ty and nine guilty men should escape
than that one innocent man should be
punished.” Without a trial and con vie
tion by jury, it is impossible to say abso-
lutely that any man is guilty of murder,
Public opinion is easily controlled. It
takes shape from sympathy, and a thou-
sand circumstances that may exist to the
prejudice of the prisoner. It is impulsive,
variable, aud not to be relied upon as in-
dubitably correct.
In this case, it is true that everything
combined to prove the guilt of these par-
ties. An examining trial had been held,
aud they were committed without bail
for appearance before the higher court.
They were confined in a jail amply guard-
ed to prevent their escape. One member
of the gang, Richard II. Shuck, had al-
ready been tried, convicted, and hanged
under regular process of law, and there
was every reason to believe that these
wretches would meet a similar fate.
What necessity, then, was there for this
extraordinary action? The courts were
honorable and unimpeachable. The judge
was known to have no sympathy with
criminals, and everything gave promise
of a full vindication of the law’s of the
land. There can be no apology for this
act. It was wrongful in the highest sense
of the term. It belonged more to the ir-
regularities of border life, than to the
very centre of society. It was an over-
riding of the law, a high-handed assump-
tion that the courts were incompetent,
aud that justice would not bo done.
Let us have no more of this disgraceful
procedure in Kentucky. It not only vio-
lates the rules of government, but it
brings the law and the law officers into
disrepute. It rellects upon the municipal
power, and declares that courts are in-
competent. It takes from the people the
surest bulwark of their liberties, and the
only safe-guard to their rights.- It is wan-
ton, lawless, and disgraceful.— Frankfort
1' toman.
Is Ilog Cholera Contagious?
No, it is not contagious in the sense
that touch will communicate the disease
from one to the other, but it is infectious
in some forms, aud more especially where
the intestined fever, resembling very
much the typhoid fever in man, is devel-
oped. As I understand it, the poison
which produces typhoid fever is partly
that of vegetable matter in the same
state. Where swine are fed in the same
yards, kept in the same pens, pastured in
the same fields, drink at the same springs,
streams or troughs, and are subjected to
same air, influence, and surroundings
poisonous, malarial, or otherwise, they
are alike infected, and where, under such
circumstances, disease appears, it is to a
certain degree infectious, but not to the
virulent extent the rinderpest is, or as
contagious as the glanders are. This ma
laria infects the system with a poison
which nature throws off. with more or
less success, through the lining mem
branes of the intestines and some of the
related organs. Where the constitution
is vigorous, and all the functions in full
health and activity, there is very little
disturbance of the system; but where the
contrary state obtains, then the poison
accumulates, and then follows intestinal
or typhoid fever, which is more or less
severe and fatal, according to the meas
ure of the health and strength, and of the
constitution of the attacked, and the
treatment which follows. This is typhoid
or intestinal fever, whether it appears in
swine or in man, aDd the cause being the
same or similar, and there being a toler-
able parallel or analogy between the phy
sical construction of the two, the treat
ment of the two should be reasonably
alike.
Under the old mode and manner of
treatment, when bleeding, blistering and
cupping were the order of the day, when
calomel and jalap, scammony and gam
boge, one or both or all were the first and
last resort in all cases of fever, and in
fact in sickness of almost every kind
then typhoid fever was quite, if not more
fatal, than cholera is now, and the first
thing the patient did, after learning he
had the disease, was to make his will
But investigation, experience, and scien
title research have changed all this, and
in the hands of a well-informed physi
cian, or those of a skillful nurse, typhoid
fever is seldom fatal. And the change
has been brought about by discarding the
old heroic remedies, and leaving drugs
and medication out of the account — the
reliance being wholly on keeping the
strength of the patient up by feeding,
aud the liberal use of preparations of
milk and buttermilk, which has been
found to be as near a specific for typhoid
fever as any one thing within reach. And
here is the explanation why so many sick
hogs die when dosed by cow and horse
doctors, and the brutes, their owners
who administer spirits of turpentine
kerosene, copperas, blue vitriol and the
like, and why they recover when fed with
milk, flesh, and buttermilk. That these
latter remedies will cure hog cholera in
advanced stages I do not pretend to claim
indeed, nothing will, for in such cases
lesion and decomposition of the organs
have taken place, and it would be as
much of a miracle as to cure the wounds
after a hog’s throat had been cut from
ear to ear. In the early stages of the hog
rt r “ where it takes tn- 01 ty
phoid icver, warmth, quiet, and shelter
and the right food and drink at the right
time, are as necessary for the recovery of
swine as for men in the same condition
When hog cholera appears in the form of
lung diseases, or those of the liver and
throat, and in the form of dysentery, the
disease is not contagious, nor is it infec
tious; and here is the explanation of the
conflict of opinion between observers,
some saying that it is, and some that it
is not, infections— both being, in their
particular cases, in the right.
Referring to the brief note of Vaniz
page 169, current volume, that he had
been inclined to adopt the views of this
(your) correspondent as to the origin and
cause of the disease under notice, but be
cause a neighboring butchers ’s hogs, fed
offal, had been attacked, he seems in
dined to reject them, I beg to remind
him that it has never been claimed that
offal-fed hogs were wholly exempt from
attack; but that, notwithstanding their
terrible offensive surroundings, they are
as a whole more healthy than exclusive-
ly corn-fed hogs, and this condition is at-
tributable to their nitrogenous diet. As
to the "contagiousness” of the disease, I
think Vaniz will find it to be infectious-
ness— the distinctions between the two
having been explained in the above para-
graph.
In closing these - paragraphs on hog
cholera for to-day, and in explanation or
excuse for what may be said hereafter,
let it be understood by those who are in-
clined to be critical, that I do not claim
what is here set down to be scientifically
exact and absolute, but that it is an ap-
proximation to the truth, and without
any great or vitiating amount of error —
that the object is to instruct and explain
on subjects where both are much needed
— that I recommend no costly or radical
changes; advise no violent or dangerous
remedies; reject as unworthy of confi-
dence any and all nostrums, and apply to
the prevention and cure of the diseases
of animals, and especially swine, the re-
sults of human experience in that which
relates to mankind.— Country Gentleman.
Another enemy to the hogs is men-
tioned by the Flemingsburg Democrat: A
Kentucky hog breeder recently had one
hundred and sixty hogs poisoned by eat-
ing the young cockle bur. Out of the
number twenty died in the space of fifteen
hours from the time they partook of the
poisonous plant. It is well known that
after a heavy rain this cockle bur springs
up in a day or two, throwing out two
slender leaves which the hog greedily
devours, and just so sure as he swallows
a certain quantity of the poisonous plant
he is a dead hog. The plant at older stage
loses its poisonous quality. After three
or four leaves appear, and the plant as-
sumes vigorous appearance, the virus dies
in it; the difficulty, meanwhile, is to
guard against the hog’s eating it in its
early stage, at which it is a fatal poison
to the porcine family.

A Chicago commission merchant has
prepared an estimate of the wheat yield
in 1877 from Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas,
and Wisconsin, and places it in round
numbersat 96,000,000 bushels. The yield
in Minnesota is estimated at 17 to 19
bushels per acre, and in Kansas at 13 to
15 bushels. The receipts at Chicago for
the crop year are estimated at 25,000,000
bushels, against 11,116,452 in thelastcrop
year. The estimate is about 10.000,000
bushels below the receipts of 1873. The
quality of the Western wheat is spoken of
in the highest terms.
The man of business and the business
man both have business to do; but the
business man is the one who deserves it.
The business man thinks, moves, acts,
and makes himself felt in the world. If
a thought comes into his head it is one
of breadth and compass; it does not cen-
ter on self and its narrow world. It
reaches away and embraces others. It
has a wide range and does not stop till it
touches and affects for good the interests
of all.
Nor are the thoughts of such men im-
mobile. They become acting, living re-
alties in the wide aud busy world. The
authors of them make of these business
thoughts actualities, give them “local
habitation and a name,” and steamboats
are built and ocean is navigated, and dis-
tant climes are brought together; an elec-
tric telegraph springs into being as by en-
chantment, and lightning becomes gar-
rulous and voluble, thought out-travels
the winged winds; and in a twinkling
the bands and shackles of trade are loosen
ed.
Such are the workings produced by the
business man. lie awakens the drowsy
and helpless multitudes, puts life and
thought, energy and action into them,
and makes the world leap joyously along
the path of ages. Where its step before
was but a single year, and it strides by
scores and fifties.
“Men of thought, men of action,
Clear the way.”
And they do clear the way— their
thoughts become tangible, moving, de
molshing forces, aud break down and
crush all opposing barriers, opening a
pathway of progress, into which the more
sluggish and timid portion of humanity
may securely travel.
But the man of business is what the
name indicates. His business is always
on his hands. He does not do it. He
does not know how to go to work in the
right way. His thoughts are all meas-
ured and slow. He weighs self-made
doubts and supposed contingencies, and
before he moves, the business man gets
up and runs away from him, and wins
the race.
The man of business won’t go ahead,
he only eddies around and around— he
does not progress — his path is a circle.
He does not find himself at night many
miles on his journey’s way, but like the
hour hand of a clock, just where he start
ed. He is not clear and decided in what
he does, but ofteu stands hesitating and
puzzled. He ventures and falls back;
has a stout heart in fancy, but none in
fact.

Ayer’s
Hair Vigor ,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing
which is at once
agreeable,
healthy, and ef-
fectual for pre-
serving the
hair. Faded or
x gray hair is soon
jfi SSwKr restored to its
original color,
with the gloss and freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and baldness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Noth-
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul-
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off; and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan-
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir-
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cambric,
and yet lasts long on the hair, giving
it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful
perfume.

FIPST DOS
ON A BOSTON POLICE OFT™
Boston, Nov. 15, 1871.
H. R. Stevens:
Dear Sir— In the spring of 1860 I was stricken
down with fever, which had a long and almost
hopeless run. The beet medical advice being in
attendance, I was taken through the fever; but
it left me terribly reduced and weak, with ex-
cruciating pains in my side, hack and hips. I
was completely prostrated with Kidney Com-
plaint, and no medicine seemed to reach my case.
In this condition I was persuaded to try Veo-
ktink by a friend whom it cured of the sanio
disease, and it seemed as though I could feel the
etfect of the first dose through my whole system;
and from that moment 1 began io mend, gradu-
ally growing better from day to day; and 1 fol-
lowed on with the Vegetixe, until it completely
restored me to health, since which time I have
been able to perform my duties as a police
officer, enjoying good health; and there ih no
doubt about the great value of Veoetinb in
Kidney Complaint and similar diseases.
1 am, sir, respectfully,
LAFAYETTE FORD, 501 Broadway.
All Diseases of the Blood.
If Vegetixe will relievo pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the natient to
perfect health after trying dilTerent physicians,
many remedies, suffering for years, is it not
conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you can
bo cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? It works in the blood, in the
circulating fluid. It can truly be called the
GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The great source
of disease originates in the blood; and no med-
icine that does not act directly upon it, to purify
4nd renovate, has any just claim upon public
attention.
Seventy-one Years of Age.
East Marshfield, Aug. 22, 1870.
Mr. Stevens :
Dear Sir— I am seventy-one years of age ; have
suffered many years with l’vidney Complaint,
weakness in my hack and stomach. 1 was in-
duced by friends to try your Vegetine, and I
think it the best medicine for weakness of the
kidneys I ever used. I have tried many reme-
dies for this complaint, and never found io much
relief as from the Vegetine. It strengthens and
Invigorates the whole system. Many of my ac-
quaintances have taken it, and I believe It to he
good for all the complaints for which it is re-
commended.
Yours truly, JOSIAII II. SHERMAN.
Would Cive a Dollar for a Dose.
Boston, May 30, B71.
H. R. Stevens, Esq. :
Dear Sir— I have been badly afflicted with Kid-
ney Complaint for ten years ; have suffered
great pain in my hack, hips and side, with p-eat
difficulty in passing urine, which was often and
in very small quantities, frequently accompaiied
with blood and excruciating pain. I have faith-
fully tried most of the popular remedies rec m-
mended for my complaint; I have been under tho
treatment of some of the most skilful physi-
cians in Boston, all of whom pronounced mr case
incurable. This was my condition when 2 was
advised by a Mend t - try the V BGBTIKK Jwnd •
could see the good effects from the first dose I
took, and from that moment 1 kept on improving*
until I was entirely cured, taking in all, 1 should
think, about six bottles.
It is indeed a valuable medicine, and if I

H. R. Stevens, Esq. :
Dear Sir— From a poor, emaciated sufferer, tho
Vegetine has restored me to perfect health
I have for years been a terrible sufferer from
Canker and Dyspepsia, at times rendering life
almost a burden to me. I am now ftfteei (If.)
pounds heavier than when I commenced tin use
of Vegetine.
I will make mention that I was also a great
sufferer from Kidney Complaint, causing «cru-
ciating pain through the small of the back
nearly all of the time. This, too, Veoetini has
cured, and lam now' a perfect picture of hsilth,
and I will add, happiness — all caused frou the
use of a few bottles of Vegetine.
