A Printer's Apprentice Hake* a Fluclqr He Claims tn Have Been Hampered and Embarrassed by Partisans. Last Week but One of the Fiftieth Congress. Rescue at N(ftwioh, Conn. They Are Now Languishing ir Baltimore, Feb. 18. — The Sun to-day prints a long dispatch from Washington, giving a retrospect of Secretary Bayard's course during the past four years with regard to the attacks that have been made upon him. Mr. Bayard states that he regrets the oourse which party opponents have seen fit to pursue proceed not from any personal feeling of resentment or annoyance, but from disappointment that men selected by the people to pro toot and advance their interests should tp so unmindful of the responsibilities, so lacking tn patriotism, that for the sake of mere party qr personal advantage they have not hesitated to avail themselves of opportunity • to hamper and embarrass him, ignoring the fact that it was their duty to treat him not as an individual, but as a public servant charged with an important public trust, the performance of which they should have facilitated by every means in their power. Commenting upon the charges that he had no policy and lacked oourage, Mr. Bayard believes the American people have a higher and nobler destiny than to swagger about among the nations of the earth daring somebody to knock a chip on their shoulder. He thinks it is their mission to take the lead among nations in substituting pacific methods for foroe in settling international disputes. The New Cabinet as Arranged Norwich, Conn., Feb. 18.—Four young Norwich men bad a thrilling experience yesterday afternoon In the chilly waters of the Thames. A man named O'Neil, who Uvea on the west side, wanted to reach his borne, directly across the river from the dock where the propellor Delaware Is tied up, without taking the usual circuitous route. The ice iu the river was apparently safe, and O'Neil stepped confidently upon the slippery surface. When about twenty feet from shore there was a crack, a splash, and nothing but bubbles and broken ice remained to tell the story. Arthur Upham, the well known prize fighter, succeeded in reaching the drowning man, but before he could rescue him the ice broke, and he, too, followed. George Hamilton, a teafnster, next braved the treacherous expanse. Wher he secured a grip on Upham, who in '.urn was supporting the limp form of O'Neil, another section of ice gave way, and the teamster joined the other two. a Michigan Prison. in Washington.

How ard, her mother, Emily Howard, Orin A Holstead and George Holstead, the parti* charged with - conspiracy - in the Electri Sugar Refining company frauds, were &D rested in Milan and brought to this city an placed in jail. In the latter part of Januar last, in New York, three indictments were returned against the parties for obtainin money under false pretenses. These indict ments were kept a profound secret. Requls tions were obtained by District Attorne- Fellows from Governor Hiil, and on these r*' quisitions warrants were issued by Govern') Luce Feb. 1. The trouble has been since tha it took time to get Howard into Michigan He was staying at Windsor, and would no cross the river. Mrs. Friend returned to he home at Milan Friday. She had been trace* within reach of the warrants several times but was not arrested because they could no get Howard. On Saturday Howard, believ ing that no criminal action could be com meuced and that he oould defend civil suit returned to Milan, and the arrest of the en tire gang followed Washington, Feb. 18.—The political wiseacres in Washington who claim to have "a dead straight tip," fix up President Harri son's cabinet in about this order: _ Blaine, of Maine, state. Windom, of Minnesota, treasury. Rusk, of Wisconsin, war. Piatt, of New York, navy. Washington, Feb. 18.—The senate has so much business before it and so little time that only one or two important measures can reach the point of final action at this session. One ol them may be the pending resolution In relation to election outrages in Texas; another the census bill The Pacific funding bill, which has been so long pending, may ■fail of l caching a final vote. As there is no hope of its being taken up in the house, noth-infc will be gained by pressing it to a vote in ithe senate. The measures which will be pushed in the senate are the bills which have {passed the house, or the resolutions on which the senate alone is to take actio^ Under thesb conditions it is hardly likely that Senator Frye will antagonize with the Knioti Pacific measure the census bill which Senator Hale has given notice he will call up to-day. Senator Hale expects the census bill to occupy the time of the senate for a day or more. Meantime the appropriations committee will report the sundry civil bill, and it will be taken up for consideration at an early . day. It is likely the committee on privileges . and elections will report Mr. Chandler's resolution to investigate Louisiana election outrages. These measures and the Texas elections resolution should keep the senate busy through the week, although several bills of minor im; portance will probably be slipped through in .the intermissions. In the female bicycle contest at New York the following Bcoree were made: Stanley, 024 miles; Von Blumen, 502; Oakes, 522; Suallor, 615; Lewis, 400; Baldwin, 480; Hurt, 401; Woods, 877; MeShaLe. 872: Brown, 287; Armaindo, 278. Injustice. Brooklyn-, N. Y., Feb. 17.—Dr. Talmage preached this morning in the Brooklyn Tabernacle on the subject, "The Literature of the Dust." After explaining appropriate passages of Scripture concerning Christ he gave out the hymn: Oh, could I speak the matchless worth. Oh, could I sound the glories forth Which in my Saviour shine: Charles H. Farwell, of Lockport, N. Y., was arrested in Buffalo for obtaining a sealskin ooat and other expensive garments by the use of worthless checks. Foster, of Ohio, interior. John Baxter, of Tennessee, son of Judgi Baxter, of the state supreme court, attorne} general "Charlie" Perkins, who trained Paddy Ryan for his fight with Sullivan, died at his home in Rochester, N. Y. Then young Tommy Sharvin, an apprentice in the composing room of The Bulletin, who, although scarcely in his teens, has already saved half a dozen people from drowning, rushed to the rescue and was precipitated into the water." The current ran strong, and threatened to drift the whole party under the ice. Supporting the now lifeless O'Neil, the other three-paddled obliquely for the shore, breaking the rotten ice with thsir hands, and filially landed, nearly exhausted, upon Central wharf. O'Neil was resuscitated and taken jtome.  Text: John viii, 6: "Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground." A Mohammedan mosque stands now where once stood Herod's temple, the scene of my text. Solomon's temple had stood there, but Nebuchadnezzar thundered it down. Zoro babel's temple had stood there, but that had been prostrated. Now wo take our places in a temple that Herod built because be was fond of great architecture and he wanted the preceding temples to seem insignificant. Put eight or ten modern cathedrals together and they would not equal that structure. • It covered nineteen acres, There were marble pillars supporting roofs of cedar and silver tables on which stood golden cups, and thero were carvings exquisite and Inscriptions resplendent, glittering balustrades and ornamented gateways. The building of this temple kept ton thousand workmen busy forty-six years. In that stupendous pile of pomp and magnificence sat Christ, and a listening throng stood about htm,, when a wild disturbance took place. A group of men ai a pulling and pushing along a woman who had committed the worst crime against society. When they have brought her in front of Christ, they ask that He sentence her to death by stoning. They nra a critical, merciless, disingenuous crowd. They want to get Christ into controversy and puhlio reprehension. If he say, "Lot her die," they will charge him with cruelty. It he let her go, they will charge him with being in complicity with wickedness. Whichever way he does, they would howl at him Then occurs a scene which has not been sufficiently regarded. He leaves the lounge or bench on which he was sitting and goes down on one knee or both knees, and with the forefinger of his right hand ho begins to write in the dust of the floor, word after word. But they were not to be diverted or hindered. They kept on demanding that he settle this case of transgression, until he looked up and told them that they might themselves begin the woman's assassination, if the complainant who had never done anything wrong himself would open the fire, "Go ahead, but be sure that the man who flings the first missile is immaculate. ' Then he resumed writing with bis finger it) the dust of the floor, word after word. Instead of looking over his shoulder to see what he had written, the scoundrel skulked away. Finally the whole place is clear of pursuers, antagonists and accusers, and when Christ has finished this strange chirograpby in the dust, he looks up and finds the woman nil alone. The prisoner is the only one of tho court room left, the Judges, the police, the prosecuting attorneys having cleared out, Christ is victor, and he says to the woman, "Where are the prosecutors in this case? Ai\» they all gone? Then I discbarge you. Go aud sin no more." Palmar, of Michigan, agriculture. A party of coasters crashed into a bridge at Fredonia, N. Y., and several were seriously injured. Dr. Charles Zedoler, aged 72 years, who resides at No. 701 Vine street, Philadelphia, was held in $500 bail to answer the charge of sending indecent postals through the mail. Wanainaker, of Pennsylvania, poetofflce. There are many men of national reputatioi in Washington, most of them senators 01 members of the house, who do not put Im plicit confidence in the statement from In diana polls that ex-Senator Windom will La secretary of the treasury. A majority ol men in congreas who express an opinion ooo tend that Col. John C. New will be secretary of the treasury, and that he would not have made his recent trip to New York with important messages from Oen. Harrison hao not he been slated for a place in the cabinet He would take no other plaoe than the treeuury.If Mr. Windom should go into the cabinet it will be regarded here as a -Blaine appointment, for it is well known that Messrs. Win dom and Blaine are intimate personal friends-, and that the former would be the latterV tlrst choice for the treasury portfolio. The statement that Col. New for Oen. Harrisois tendered to Mr. Piatt the navy portfolio it given credence by tlioso who know the Warm personal relations existing between these men. Col. New has had a very high personal regard for Mr. Piatt tor many years, they having been the nuxt ardent friends of Gen. Orant and Senator Conkling, and it is no secret that Col. New has all along advocated tht giving of a place to his friend, ex-Senatoi Piatt "The American people," he says, "should bear in mind what the military spirit really means. War brings desolation somewhere. Is a spirit of which war is the logical and inevitable outcome a condition to be encouraged by a great and enlightened people!"

They Succeed In Inducing Youug Men to Be Cowhides the Tetteher Who Punished Mamie Hertol, aged 8 years, was burned to death at Elizabeth, N. J., by her clothes igniting while playing at a bonfire. New BUBO, N. Y., Feb. 15—White Caps continue to send out warning letters in this vicinity, and yesterday a simple minded German at West Newburg was cautioned, by letter to drink less rum and pay more attention to the support of his family. Some of Goshen's lively young men are in a fevor because thoy are not allowed to go out o' nights. Sundry missives from the White Caps have dampened thoir ardor considerably, and many familiar faces are missed from the streets after 1) p. m. These fellows have been ordered to remain at homo nights, and they appear inclined to obey. Several citizens of Cold Spring have been threatened with dire calamity in case certain conditions are not fulfilled. The letters from "White Caps" received there are in the typical style, ornamented with skull and crossbones, and are calculated to freeze the blood in the veins of those receiving them. Prominent citizens of Cold Spring have banded together in conjunction with the individuals receiving the notices to give the White Capt a warm reception should they attempt to carry out any of their diabolical threats. At Middletown there is also a similar state of affairs. Stay Home Nights. New Brunswick, N. J., Feb. 18.—The little town of Bernardsville, Somerset county, was thrown Into a state of excitement when a shoemaker named Morgan, of Millburn, Horsewhipped Principal George Thorp, of thC Dublic school Morgan's children attend thi Bernardsville school, among them a 9-yearDld boy who is very mischievous. Las' •veek Thorp whipped the boy. for sonu irank, and it was claimed the lad when hi •■elated the circumstance to his fathei «id the principal knocked him do"- with his list. Without making any fu Hid Mischievous Boy. Detectives Reed and Ruland, of Inspect© Byrnes' force, Were telegraphed for, and wii arrive to £ake them to New York for trial. Telephone rates at Long Branch have been increased. The prisoners were visited at the count jail and interviewed by a reporter. Mr. an Mrs. William B- Howard were in a private bedroom on the second floor, not confined i. the jail proper, but being guarded by th sheriff and his deputies. Mr. Howard is sui fering from nervous prostration. Jennie Engelbrecht is improving at the Elizabeth (N. J.) hospital, Her lover, Hugo Roth, visits her daily, and is anxious to many. This week in the house promises to be a ;moit lively one. 1\D-day is likely to he frit.tered away, as several members will make • dilatory motions to prevent the calling up of the Paeif.c railroad funding till, which is tthe regular order. To-morrow Mi-. Mills w#l call up the report on the tariff question, and an e (.tended and exciting debate, which may several days, will probably ensue. There ore two appropriation bilis to be passed —the poetoflk'e bill aud the deficiency bill— which will be called at the earliest opportunity.The jiit-y in the case of Austin Myatt, for the murder of James E. Cavanagh, at Trenton, came into court witU A verdict of guilty of manslaughter and were discharged. Howard said in response to questions tha the oue thing that he wanted to have don was to have a complete and unqualified staU ment of his side of the case. He had tried t get the consent of his attorneys, but they hfs itated about the matter; even now he wou not dare to give a statement without consu.i ing them. He denounced the arrest as witL out warrant. He was not interested in tl, company, and uever held any of the stoci except once, some five or six years ago, whe. five shares of the stock of the old com pan; were given to him, so that he might vote to Professor Friend for some office, and whici he afterward returned to the company, an., they paid him $500. He had never held .- dollar's worth of stock in the new company. John Bradley and wife, of Hibernia, N. Y, have been engaged in systematic burglary for years, and have Just been detected. inquiry Morgan purchased a rawhide anu nstructing the boy to follow him, wont to lie school, which was then filled with children, lie grasped Thorp by the neck, backed hiro ip against a blackboard and rained blow itter blow with the rawhide across the princiioI's head and face. The children left thei. stations and ran screaming into a corner, while Morgan continued to whip Thorp unti. 'he rawhide was worn and frayed at the end. A ROMANCE OF TH5 WAR. Four Brothers Meet After Twenty-flve Several conference reports—notably the territorial—will be presented, and as they . are matters of the highest privilege they will . take precedence over all other questions when • presented. Mr. MeCreary will try to call up the Edmonds Panama canal resolution, and .rthis will undoubtedly give rise to debate, as Nerwood and Russell will combat the imposition taken by the majority. Mr. Randall \ will .also try to reach the Cowles bill on til£ «mlendar. This, it is feared, will meet with •jHPosi&m from Mr. Mills and others, and fttliuntowg tactics may be resorted to to deieat tts'.copwderation. It is taken as a fact in Washington tha: Mr. Matt would accept only one of the three, positions, the treasury, the navy or the postoffice. It has been stated repeatedly that thi treasury would go to the west, and there cat. be no noubt that it will. Detroit, Mich., Feb. 18.—In 1861 George Copeland and his three brothers—Robert, John and William—enlisted in the Union army. They were separated during the war, and when the fighting was oyer each went his way, supposing the other dead. Lost week John saw a reference to George Copeland in a Canadian paper, and, thinking it might be his brother, wrote to him. William and Robert also saw the paper and wrote to George. Each was surprised to find that it was his brother, and George made arrange ments for a meeting. Tears of Separation. Morgan only desisted from his exertion* ■rhen the rawhide became useless. He thei. Cook his boy away and subsequently returned .0 Millburn. It is not believed to be wisdom to give th» navy portfolio to Mr. Wananiaker on account of the ship building interests in Pennsylvanii and the embarrassments which would come tc him if he were secretary of the navy. Tht natural logic turns the postoffice department jver to Mr. Wanamaker, tince that position £ to go to the east. Principal Thorpe was severely injured ibout the face and neck. He subsequent!} jntered a couiplaint .against Morgan foi itrocious assault and battery, and the shoe naker will be compelled to explain the casD ncourt Mr. Morgan, the Mt. Hope (Orange county) man who suddenly left his home last Wednesday night, after being chased by three mounted men, has not yet been heard from. Morgan disappeared after taking severa. "nightcaps" at a saloon, and the men whi frightened him away or killed him are supposed to be White Cape, whom Mt Hope people would like to see wearing "black caps.'' At the time of Friend's death and prior h he was employed by the company in superb, tending the building of the machinery. Afte Friend's death Cotterill and Robinson cam to him and induced him to remain and finis the work. He was paid *50 a week for seven, months and afterward raised to $00. Ho wa promised something good, and was to hav #5,000 when the first demonstration wa made, $20,000 more within a month and $25. 000 within six months. A MILLIONAIRE'S WILL. This leaves on.y the navy for Mr. Piatt George now lives in Essex Center, a small village in Canada, a short distance from here, and on Saturday three men disembarked from a railroad train and inquired the way to George Copeland's house. They met there and did not know each other until George introduced them. GEOBSttap.W.Sf UNIVERSITY CENTENNIAL. The an»jigW.ents f"r the celebration of the founding 4)f university a hundred years nearly completed, and all the signs point to success. Besides the gathering of the alums i from all parts of Jiorth America, the directors and presidents of other universities and colleges have signified their intention of attending, and the alumni of the University of Michigan have appointed Senator Palmer and Representative Cutcfaeon a committee to present thoir congratulations, an example that may be followed by other institutions.

A Race War Threatened. Atlanta. Ua., Feb. 18.—North Carolina iD on the verge of a terrible race war, growing out of the negro «xq4us. All railroad emigrant agents have been driven put of th. state. The local military companies havi been called out in Wayne county to aid thi fanners in preventing desertion of their laborers. TJje whites have asked the legislature for a law cohering the case, and the black: have retaliated by ualling public meetings, at which resolutions are adopted declaring that their treatment by the whites makes Ufa in the stute unbearable. The resolutions adopted at a monster meeting in Goldsboro contained this clause, "God is at the head of this move, and not the Richmond and Danville Railroat. company. The voice of John Brown it sounding in the ears of the sons of Ham ana the great southwest says, 'Come, we have lands,' and the oppressed conscience of tht negro says, 'Go,' and wo are going." A gentleman who has just reached Atlanta says thai an outbreak may be expected at any moment. Both whites and blacks are heavily armed Governor Scales has issued secret orders te the state militia to get ready to quell possible outbreaks. The North Carolina newspaper: conceal the critical nature of the situation. In his capacity as superintendent mone was paid to him to pay for machinery an necessary articles for running the business Neither Cotterill nor any of the stockholdei ever inquired what this money was paid fo and never were to ask the question, as th contract provided that they should not ask o attempt to find out any of the secrets of th concern. He said that it was charged tha he and Mrs. Friend had obtained $180,000 o. more from the company, and had claimed t have used it in buying machinery and pi* paring the building for use. This was not • they had never received, all told, from th company more than $20,000, and every dolla of this liad ' been used for the purpose fo which it was obtained. The machinery wa expensive and complicated, aud for maintain ing secrecy each part was made at differet places. This made it cost more. Two of the brothers were wounded and had been in the hospital, and the other was made a prisoner, so that when the remaining brother went home he found no trace of them and suppoa I they were dead. It is doubtful whether the attg-ney generalship will go to Tennessee, as stated, uules Gen. Harrison is determined to givethe south a p ace ill his cabinet. The Nebraska delegation is yet consent hat Judge John M. Thurston is in Gen. Harrison's mind for secretary of the iuterior. . t is not improbable that the attorney generalhip may go to New York, the tecretaryshi} of the interior to Thurston, of Nebraska, and „hat the name of G'oL New may be substituted i or that of Mr. Windom for the treasury. A nisi Hother. Among the charitable bequests specified b he will is one of (1,000 to the Cooper Honor Orphans at Coopers town, N. Y., of whici .own the deceased was a native.

The residue, after payin, •gacies, is to be divided into four equa .lares, which are to go to his daughter, Mrt .. Amherst Wisner, of Brooklyn, and he. hree children. Pittsburg, Feb. 18.—Leaving her two little children weeping upon the bank, Mrs. Mary Doran plunged into the Monongahela river, near ttoorhead & McCleane's mill. The children screamed as they saw their mother plunge into the water and an officer succeeded in rescuing her. The harsh treatment of her husband led to the act. He not on1 neglected to support the family, but subjeot thein to all sorts of abuse. He was arresteu. CHRIST WROTE IN BHITONO AND VANISHING DUST. ' Senator Mandereon left the city Saturday ■ight for his home in Nebraska, and it if tated that en route he will stop at Indianapolis and urge the appointment of Judgi I'hurston for the interior. I have always wondered what Christ wrote on the ground. For do you realize that is tho only time that he ever wrote at all! 1 know that Eusebius says that Christ once wrote a letter to Abgarus, the king of Edessa, but there is no good evidence of such a correspondence. The wisest being the world ever saw and the one who had more to say than any one who ever lived, never writing n book or a chapter, or a page or a paragraph or a word on parchment. Nothing but this literature of the dust, and one sweep of a brush or one breath of a wind dbiiterated that forever. Among all the rolls of the volumes of the first library founded at Thebes, there was not one scroll of Christ. Among the seven hundred thousand books of the Alexandrian library, which by the infamous decree of Caliph Omar were used as fuel to heat the four thousand baths of the city, nob one sentence had Christ penued. Anions all the infinitude of volumes now standing in tho libraries of Edinburgh, the British museum, or Berlin or Paris, or the learned repositories of all nations, not one word written directly by the fingers of Christ. All that ho ever wrote, he wrote in dust; uncertain, shifting, vanishing dust. My text says he stooped down and wroto on the ground. Standing straight up a man might write on the ground with a staff, but if with his fingers he would write in .the dust, fee must bend clear over. Aye, ho must get, at least, on one knee or ho cannot write on the ground. Be not surprised that he stooped down. His whole life was a stooping down. Stooping down from castle to barn. Stooping down from celestial homage to mobocratic jeer. From residence above the stars to where a star hi d to fall to designate his landing place. Prom heaven's front door to the world's back gate. From , writing in round and silvered letters of constellation and galaxy on the blue scroll of heaven, to writing on the ground in tho dust, which the feet of the crowd had left in Herod's temple. If in January you havo ever stopped-out of a prince's conservatory that had Me\iq»,n cactus and magnolias in full bloom, Into the outside air 20 (legs, below zero, you may get some idea of Christ's change of atmosphere from celestial to terrestrial. How many heavens there are I know not, but there aro at least three, for Paul was "caught, up into the third heaven." Christ came down from highest heaven to the second heaven and down from second heaven to first heaven, down swifter than meteors ever fell, down amidst stellar splendors that himself eclipsed, down through clouds, through atmospheres, through appalling space, down to where there was no lower depth. From being waited on attha banquet of the skies to the broiling of fish for bis own breakfast on the banks of the lake. From emblazoned chariots of eternity to tho saddle of a mule's back. From homago cherubic, seraphic, archangelic, to the paying of sixty-two and a half cents of tax to Cjesar? From the deathless country to a tomb built to hide human dissolution. Tho uplifted wave of Galilee was high, but he had to come down, before with his feet, he could touch it, and the whirlwind that roeo above the billow was higher yet, but he had tocomo down, before with his lip he could kiss it into £uiet. Bethlehem a stooping down. Nazareth a stooping down. Death between two burglars a stooping down. Yes, it was in conson- Senator Manderson is a very warm per anal friend of Gen. Harrison, and he is toribly in earnest about Judge Thurston's anointment. The Indiana Republicans her . ho know Col. New best argue that he did nore to bring about Gen. Harrison's nomina lon and ccrtainly as much as any man to (•cure his election; that he is eminently flttcn. or the treasury; that he is the first choice oi Indiana, that the state must have some man n the cabinet who is capable and who will be villing to take charge of the distribution oi he odious, and that although he has stated to fen. Harrison that he is not an aspirant to ilitical honors, he would accept the place ii .9 were requested to do so. A Good Pro#poet for Peaches. All the employes about the factory wei sworn to secrecy, signing an agreement t .hat effect, and were paid good wages on th account Howard was to have received (5,01 on his contract after the last demonstratioi but when finished the treasurer had said tht had but (2,500, and he only paid him the amount, still owing him uuder his contra* (2,500. This sum, aside from his wages, wt che only money that wets ever paid to him b the company. He charges that while thei night been some chicanery about the busine JotteriU and Robinson were the head of ti. swindle, and it was worked for their beneti, He says the whole scheme was originated b Cotterill and Professor Friend for the purpa jf swindling. Marlborough. N. Y., Feb. 18.—Returns received from the principal peach growing seotions along the Hudson river show that the fruit buds generally are uninjured. In previous years when the crop proved to be a failure the buds at this date in February were as black as tar. To-day the buds are green, and show a healthful vitality. Growers as a class are more than pleased, and they say that the prospect is bright. Thursday will be the day of the alumni society, tiieuratiop and poem being read at the public meeting beginning at 10:30 a. m. by Frol'essor Morris and Mr. C. B. Fallen, respectively, followed by .the .business meeting.
