Last Sunday tho usually ipiiet vil

J. A. Yoakum. Yoakam was talking
to Mr. M. Galder, when Harris camo

way, for bo was going to "put a bole
through" Yoakam. Galder wis not
disposed to place himself between the,
111117.7.I0 of a pislol and its target, and
accordingly got out of the way, and
Harris sent a bullet close under Yoa
knm's chin, immediately after which
Mr. Yoakam, who was unarmed, boat
a hasty retreat. Harris fired two
sbols at Yoakum's retreating figure,
neither of which took oli'eot. Harris
has been working in the various log
ging camps on the Hay, and has here
tofore home the reputation of being
a peaceable man ; it is alleged that ho
claims that an insult oll'ercd by Yoa
kam to Mrs. Harris led to this mur
derous assault. No arrests have been
made.

children, was the victim. She had
the misfortune to bo partially blind,
and at the time of the sad event was
engaged in roasting collce. Neglect

hot fire caused it to iiillame, ami
when she hurriedly opened the oven
door the flamos shot out full upon
her, setting tiro to her clothes and
fearfully binning her body. Itoforo

poor woman was actually cooked

A dinpateh from New York, dated
August 7th, says: At 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon Dr. Tanner was giv
011 four ounces of water, and imme
diately after was atlncked with nau
sea and vomiting. At G:!0 ho went
out riding, after having suffered from
another attack of sickness. On the
riverside of the drive ho again sudor
cd from nausea and vomited. In
Central Park be imbibed five ounces
of walor. At 7:30 ho roturncd to
Clarendon hall and walked up stairs
without assistance, iccliucd on his
cot in the ante-room somo time be
fore be walked out into the main hall,
and made throe laps about tho en
closure. After this ho again retired
to tho ante-room and drank an ounce
of waloi, which his stomach rejected.
At 8:30 p. 111. the faster ascended to
the gallery and shortly after retired.'
He was soundly rjcepiug at 9 o'clock
but half an hour afterwards awoke
and had his head sponged with cold
water, when be dozed oil' again.
Ho remained thus until 10:15 to
day, when ho went into tho lower
hall. After a walk he laid down and
was covered with a blanket. A t 10 a'O
the doctor arose and walked into the
front room of the hall, where was a
fine spread of watermelons, fruits,
bread, etc. At 11 the doctor stood at
the window 011 Thirteenth street,
looking out upon the crowd. On
leaving tho hall the doctor walked
unassisted down thu stairs with a
slice of melon inhishand. lie receiv
ed the ovation from the crowd an the
streets, shops and windows, and
evinced much gratification at the
hearty reception. He ordered the
cover of tho carriage thrown back,
and joked with the crowd that stir
rounded the vehicle. After two or
three dozen persons had grasped his
hand, the accompanying physician
grasped him by the arm and held
him in bis seat to prevent him from
tiring bimself out. On reaching the
rosidenco of Dr. Gunn, Tanner laid
down in the front parlor and endeav
ored to sleep.
Ni:w Yoiik, Aug. 7. At high
noon to-day, when the time was up
and the task finished, tho crowd cheer
ed Tanner enthusiastically. About
one thousand people were in the hall,
and an immense number of people
on the sidewalk. Tho doctor drank
a glass of milk and called for a Geor
gia watermelon. This he tapped, dug
"his hand into it and ate heartily
When he was remonstrated with, he
said: "No my lord; I am running
this now." When he placed a glass
of milk to his mouth, he remarked :
"Gentlemen, you don't believe that's
good." Tho signal for the expiration
of the fast was a whistle from tho
factory in the vicinity. When it
blew, Tanner had a peach in his
hand, but before he could put it in
bis mouth somebody snatched it
away. In response to tho plaudits of
the assemblage, Tanner, who was sit
ting upon a chair placed upon the
table, waved a handkerchief over his
head. At a quarter past twelve Tan
ner got down from the table and left
the hall in a coach in charge of Dr.
flunu, who took him to his own resi
dence, where ho will receive careful
ful medical treatment. Dr. Tanner
weighed at tho ond of the fast 1 12 1 J-.f
pounds, lie lost 30 pounds in forty
days.

New York Sun.
The sorrows of Colonel Pel ton camo
upon him in quick succession, and
they woro greater than bo could bear.
He died from a broken heart, in the
fullness of life, strong man that ho
was. First tho sudden death of his
young, beautiful and most charming
wife, the life and light of Mr. Tilden"
family, overwhelmed him in grief
which scorned uncontrolable. Then
camo the exposure of bis participation
in questionable dispatches, which,
from tho nearness of his relationship
to Mr Tildon, seemed at first to threat
en some injury to the fair faiiio of the
the statesman. This oven broko oil'
tho friendly connection which had
existed bolweon them, and virtually
banished him from the homo of luxu
ry and refinement whore, with his do
voted wife and daughtor by a former
marriage, ho hud experienced so much
unalloyed happiness. This also sepa
rated him in a great degree from bis
fond mother, to whom ho seemed all
in all. So tho strong man broko down
and died prematurely. Wo have no
disposition to palliate the error ho so
manfully confessed and deeply la
mented ; but now, when ho is gone,
people speak in bated breath of tho
accumulated sorrows which bore him
down, and recall with a tear his many
pleasant qualities.
Tin: body of an unknown man was
found in a slough about three miles
from Tho Dalles last week. The cause
of his death is unknown, but his skull

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES,
Si'JtiNoi'iKM), Mass., Aug. 10. Tho
family of tfobina Tilson, living 11 mile
from Shutesvillo Center, were alarm
ed last night by the appearance of
Jarvis Nelson Phelps, a young man,
tho son of their nearest neighbor,
who was bleeding from several wounds
in the chest, lie declared that he
had shot himself and had but a few
moments to live, and that he bad left
tho dead body of Sadie A. Grovcr, his
former mistress and the mother of a
three-year-old child, in the woods a
short distance back. An alarm was
immediately given, and search proved
Phelps' story truo. Uliolps has a wife
living. Ho formerly lived with tho
Grovcr girl, who is scarcoly nineteen,
until arrested for bigamy and sent to
tho Greenfield jail for ono year. His
sentence was commuted about a year
ago, sinco which he has been endeav
oring to get her to live with him
again. Her continued refusal and
association with other men have ex
cited him to commit the crime. He
says that ho fired four chambers of
his revolver into the woman's heart,
then coolly reloaded and discharged
seven barrels into bis own breast. An
autopsy confirms this story substan
tially. Phelps is still living, and to
all appearances is the coolest man in
town, but the doctors say he cannot
recover.
Tun "inwardness" of the Hancock
campaign is correctly stated in liar
pcr'a Weekly as follows : Tbe Demo
cratic campaign this year, as 111 every
Presidential election for the last 10
years, is a hugh sham and pretense.
The party has practically abandoned
its platform of fraud by discarding the
candidate who was in himself that
platform ; and without principles
or politics of its own, quotes Republi
can principles from a Union general,
and nominates him upon them as a
platform. The Republican party was
the Union party, which directed the
war and Gen. Hancock. The Repub
lican party was the party of tho prin
ciples which Gen. Hancock announc
ed in his Louisiana order. He was
relieved at his own request, not be
cause ho enforced those principles,
but because he was believed from bis
conduct not to be in sympathy with
them. The Democratic party, as the
defender of the natural rights of per
sons, of liberty of speech and the press,
of the habeas corpus and of jury trial,
and assuming to be the party of the
war, is as great a sham as the Demo
cratio party nominating Horace Gree
ley in 187:2, and shouting "reform" in
1S70.
Tin: IIi'.man Manufactouy. A
man may cat and drink heartily, says
an unknown writer, and sit and
lounge about, doing nothing, in one
tense of the word ; but his body must
keep at work all the time, 01; it will
die. Suppose the stomach refused to
work within ten minutes after a hear
ty dinner, the man would die in con
vulsions in a few hours ; or cholera or
cramp-colic would rack and wreck
him. Supposing the pores of the skin
meaning thereby the glandular ap
paratus with which they aro connect
ed should go on a "strike." he would
in an hour he burning up with fever;
oppression would weigh upon the sys
tem, and soon become insupportable.
Suppose the liver became mulish, the
appetite would bo annihilated, food
would bo loathed, torturing pains
would invade the small of tho back,
and tho head would ache to bursting.
Suppose the kidneys hut up shop,
and danger most imminent, sulferings
unbearable, and death more certain
would be the speedy and unenvyable
result. If tho little workshops of the
eye should close, in an hour'he could
not shut or open them without phys
ical force, and in another hour he
would bo blind ; or if those of the
tongue should close, it would become
as drv as bono and stiff as steel. To
keep such a complication of machin
ery in working ordor for a life time,
is a miracle of wisdom ; but to work
them by tho plcasuro of eating and
drinking, is a miracle of beneficence.
Pl'.ISMANENT PASTUKK. At 0110 of
the Michigan Farmers' Institutes
Prof. Ingorsoll asked anessayest what
he considered to bo the valuo of per
manent pasturo for stock. Tho reply
was, "1 regard Juno grass and white
clover as tho very best pasture, and
it yields Hie largest quantity per acre.
I regard it as a mistaken idoa that an
old pasture should bo plowed ; hotter
put a harrow upon it and givo it a top
dressing of plaster." Another gontlc
man remarked that ho had a piece of
laud that has been clovcred thirty
years : aftor ono crop it was solf-scod-cd;
sinco that time it has been pas
ture. Tlioro are six acres of it, and it
yields nioro than any othor ton aeros
on tho farm.
Tin: Hon. William Williams, of In
dianna, has written another letter,
in whioh ho says: "I consider Gon,
Hancock's nomination by tho rebel
Democracy as simply a decoy to en
trap Democratic soldiers to support
tho ticket, and thus onable the South
ern Brigadiers, with the aid of their
Northern allies, to get peaceable con
trol of tho Government they failed to
shoot to death in tho war, and at
tempted to starvo to death by legisla
tion in Congress unless tho laws to
pro toot tho ballot-bov from fraud
wcro repealed."
Handling a Desperado.
When Hilly Wilson was raising his
notorious zouave rouiment of roughs
during the war, the members compos
ing it were acting very roughly in
New York, and Gov. Morgan ordered
Gen. Arthur, who was Quartermaster
General, to stop their misconduct.
Arthur summoned Hilly to bis office
The dospcrado responsive)" swaggered
in, wearing his uniform as a Colonel,
and listened contemptuously to the
warning that Arthur gave him. At
length he insolently retorted : "Nei
ther you nor the Governor has any
thing to do with me." Arthur inform
ed him that ho was not a Colonel yet
because his regiment was not full,
and no commission bad been issued.
"Well, I've got my shoulder straps on,"
said Hilly, "and as long as I wear
them, I don't tako no orders from
Iv
vou fellows." Arthur was iust as bur-
j ly then as now, and far more active.
"We'll make short work of your
! shoulder straps," he cried, as ho seiz
ed the ofreiidcr, tore on his straps,
threw him into a chair and ordered
him under arrest.
