Lord Dufferin on tho United States.
Tho ofllclnl fnrowell speech of Governor-General
DuHerln to tho Canadi
ans nt Toronto, September tilth, wan
one of those master-plecca of good taste,
good feeling, nntl felicitous expression,
that must doopon tho regrets with
which his departuro has filled tho
hearts of our provincial neighbors. Tho
speech was not only calculated to
heighten tho loyalty of Canadians, and
to'incrense their respect, but was also
admirably adapted to foster n feeling
of friendliness for tho United States.
On tho thomo of tho friendly relations
between Canadians and our own peo
ple, it is impossiblu to conce'lvo how a
representative of tho English Govern
ment could sponk more happily than
Lord DufTorlndld, when ho said:
" However enrnostiy I may havo bo
songht you to bo faithful to your natlvo
land and to estlmato nt tho propor val
ue your birthright ns Englishmen, it is
with almost equal persistence that I
would exhort you to cultlvato the most
friendly nnd cordial relations with tho
American people. A nobler nutlon, a
pcoplo more gonorous or more hospita
ble, docs not oxlst. Loud applause.
To havo learned to understand nnd ap
preciate them I esteem ns not the least
of tho many advantages I have gained
by coming to Canada. Applause. Of
my own knowledge I cau say that thoy
nro animated by tho kindest feelings
toward tho Dominion, nnd I ennnot
douot out mat tnu two countries nro
destined to be united In tho bonds of
nn unbroken friendship. Loud ap
plause.J Nor can I conceive n more in
foresting or delightful task in store for
tho philosophical historian than to re
cord tho amlcablo rivalry of such pow
erful nnd cognate communities in tho
path of progrcw, tho ono u ro public, in
deed, but where tho authoritative pre
eminence assigned to tho elect of tho
pcoplo, aud tho comparative freedom
of tho Exocutlvo from Parliamentary
control, Introduce u feature ukln to per
sonal government, tho other a mon
archy, but to which tho hereditary
principle communicates such an ele
ment of stability 'as to render possible
tho application of what Is really tho
most popular aud democratic system
to bo found on this continent loud
"I'heoM while both combliio, each in
their respective sphere:), to udvauco
tho happiness of mankind, and to open
up n now and fresher chapter of hu
man history."

Tho question was about to bo put, when there
nroso from tho corner of tho room a miserable

a moment's silence, and nit eyes being iixed on

utmost height, and then them long arms to
their greatest length, and then raised her voice
to n high pitch, sho called all to louk at her.
"Yes," sho Baid, "look upon me, and hear me.

FOLLY.
Tho Causo of tho Suloldo or a Young Woman
at Bushnoll, 111.
Wednesday nifc'ht Mrs. Elmer Aller, of
Bushnell, Ill.,nttcniptcd suicide by tak
ing arsenic. It Is tho old story of youth
ful folly with n tragic ending. The case
Is briefly as follows: Nenrly two years
ngo Miss Mattic Ki'jrns, nn .orphan girl,
opened a millinery store'here with some
money received on account of a father
who lost his life In the late war. Uelng
young and handsome, sho had many ad
mirers, and Anally accepted the atten
tion of one, Elmer Aller, son of Lemuel
Aller, a merchant of this place. Young
Aller accomplished the girl's ruin under
the promise of marriage. Ileing Inex
perienced, she soon lost her property.
MIbs Kelrns then left for awhile, but
last spring returned and compelled Aller
to marry her. At this Juncture the
Aller family became Indignant, refused
her n homo, and mistreated her In many
ways. Then Mr. J. W. Parks took the I
unfnrtunato girl In and provided hern
home where sho remained pretty much
ever since, the Aller's stoutly refused to
do anything for her. On yesterday she
took the child, which isabotitsix months
old, to the house of Lemuel Aller to see
if she could not excite the compassion of
tho aforesaid father-in-law, but.it was nil
to no avail, as sho received only nbuses.
Sho returned home disheartened, after
which sho determined to end her wretch
ed existence. Sho then tried to obtain a
revolver from a hardware dealer, but ho
would not let her have one. Lutein the
evening she found npacknge of nnenlcat
home in the clock nnd succeeded In tak
ing fourdoses before Mrs. Parks discov
ered thero was anything wrong. She
has laid very low ever since, nud the
physicians say she cannot possibly re
cover. It Is nlmost needless to add that
for this piece of heartless conduct Lem
uel Aller aud family are recelvlug the se
vere condemnation of the entire commu
nity. There has never been such Intense
excitement over any one event In Hush
noil. Suit fordamages was begun against
Aller in the fall term of the Circuit Court,
but was postponed. Tho Alters have
somo Wealthy aud highly respected con
nections In tills place who are at a lossto
know how to account f'r this shameful
conduct on the part of their relations.

EARTHQUAKES IN THE HIGHLANDS.
Pooplo Frightened, Houses Shaken. Evoc
Storm King and Old Cro' Nest Trembling.
At Poughkccpsic, October 4th, full reports
from ioints south givo particulars of a severe
earthqunke shock olong both sides of tho Hud
son, from Marlborough to Pcckskill, a distance
of twents-fivo miles. All reports ogreo that
tho shock was lirst felt at 2:.'i0 this morning.
At West Point nearly everybody was aroused,
nnd it wns thought that the powder magazine
had exploded. At (Jarnson .Station, opposite,
the watchman first supposcd'thatnn engine had
exploded in tho tunnel, nnd started out with
hUrcd light. The shock wnsalss plainly felt at
Highland Falls, nnd people got up and walked
the streets. At Peeksklll, at the hour named,
there was considerable alarm. Tho earthquake
appeared to coino from the north and pass
south, and for several seconds tho earth rocked,
houses wcro shaken and windows rattled. Peo
ple sought tho streets and many wcro frighten
ed. At Marlborough, north of Newburg, on the
west shore tho heat was very oppressive for
I two days and farmers report hearing rumbling
I noises, but supposed it was caused by rock
blasting across the river. Tho main shock was
felt there at 2:30 this morning. Advices from
Newburg say that at 2:40 there was a rumbling
noiso and then a sharp shock, followed by an
other rumbling. Windows w cro rattled with
considerable force, and tho frightened pcoplo
awakened from a sound sleep, sprang out of
their beds in nlnrm. Tho rumbling nnd shock
together lasted quite half a minute. The earth
qunke wns felt some distance west of tho river,
espccinlly nlong the lino of tho Short-cut Hall-
road. Somo qiiarrymen who passed down tho
railroad track near Jtreak Neck, in the High
lands, Bay they could feel tho earth tremblo
and hear rumbling sounds in the mountain.
Isaac ltigcs, of Cold Spring, said it was not
so severe an earthqunke ns occurred in that
village several years ago, but, nevertheless, tho
foundations of buildings wcro shaken, the
shock lasted several minutes. A lioatmau says
that tho Storm King Mountain, at tho north
entrance to tho Highlands, was shaken and re
verberations were heard through Cro' Nest.
Steamlioat men do not report anything unusual
on tho water. Dispatches north of Marlborough
on tho went shor;, and north of Cold Spring,
on tho east shore, make no mention of earth
quake shocks. N. Y. World.

tho Pacific coast, who arc well fixed, had better
stay at homo and not try to better their con

THE DnXDGKPORT MYSTKRY.
Fresh Clows Found Tending to Establish
tho Guilt of tho Alleged Murderers or
Stuttering Jack."
llridgcport, t'onn., Oct. 7. 187S. For sever
al days a thorough examination of tho llrewster
shopaud premises surrounding it, lately occu
pied hy basset and Mrs. Alexander, has been
going on under the direction of the city author,
itiis, and yesterday two men set at work by
Ollicertteorgo Arnold found beneath the tloor
of an ohscuro roam in tho lower part of tho
building two silver plated collin plates bearing
respectively tho following inscriptions;
A. J. P.
.ti SS.

.lil'.l.
Ivaeh of these )latcs showed siuns of ago, aud
apin-arcil to have been ouco attached to collius,
Further examination convinced tho tinders that
the plates had been forced from thu collin. lids,
they being bent nud torn iutlioso portions held
by thotciews. A largo siongc wa also found
ucar the hiding nlaco of tho plates which it is
supposed had been used by Rusett and Mrs.
Alexander in chloroforming their victims. In
another part of tho building was discovered,
ingeniously concealed, over ouo thousand letters
post marked at iMiuts distant and near, tho ma
jor portion being from Now York city, bearing
either lUsstt's address or that of Mrs. Alexan
der. It is supposed tboo letters will bo import
ant, as showing tho inquiries practised by "Stut
tering Jack's" murderers. They will bo strict
ly kept from the public oyo until their contents
hao been carefully read ami noted.

The development already made are startling
and, in the belief that all has not Km brought
to light, men will be kept at work examining
the premise. Tho opinion prevails that human
(todies are buried beneath the building, and to
establish this tho earth upon which it ktauds
w ill, within a few days bo dug oxer. Accurate
pictuies of lUett and Mrs. Alcxaudsr, alo of
'Stuttering Jack," havo been obtained by the
