VOLUME WORTHINGTON, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1874. President Grant in the Indian Ter ritory. VINITA, I. T., Oct. 12.—The President, in company with Secretary Boric, Gen. Harney and others, arrived here last evening. Hundreds of Cherokecs turn ed out to see the "Great Father," and Col. Bond'.not was selected to address the President, which he did as follows Mr. President: It is with great pleasure that I in behalf of the pooplc of this place, welcome you and your distinguished companions to the Indian Territory. Never before has our Territory been honored by a visit from a President of the United States. In the Indian parlance you are called the Great Father, but we of the Cherokee nation, who, for more than a generation have renounced the manners and customs of savage life and adopted in their stead the princi ples of your civilization, delight to ad dress you by that title, so simple yet so grand, by which you are known and honored throughout tho civilized world. Mr. President—You have crossed the threshold of the Indian Territory, to a country larger in area than the six New England States, and unsurpassed in national wealth by any section of the country of equal extent. In your jour ney to-day you will pass for 240 miles through portions of the four principal civilized Indian nations—the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws and Chickasaws, numbering in the aggregate some 50.000 souls, of whom about 20.000 are negroes and whites. Whatever differences of opinion there day... .At the Massachusetts Sixth Ton- may be among the Indians of this Ter- a 12a-i4 "A ••_ ___ _4 t_i ritory respecting questions of* public policy concerning tLem, I am sure all unite in the conviction that you, Mr. President, are the true and steadfast friend of the Indians and will exercise your great influence on all suitable oc casions to protect our interests and en courage and sustain our efforts to se cure all the rights and privileges to which our advanced civilization entitles us. The recommendations you have made to Congress in your annual messages with regard to this Territory, I believe are cordially endorsed by a large portion of the intelligent part of our people. Wishing you a safe and pleasant jour ney and trusting you will see evidences of that high degree of enlightenment the Indians of the nation claim to pos sess, I again bid you welcome. Three hearty cheers were then given to the President, when he replied as follows It affords me great pleasure to visit your beautiful country, a country which I have never seen before, though I have been far on all sides of it. It is rich in soil and of surpass ing beauty. Without saying anything at this time about the policy which I think should be adopted with regard to this Territory, I will say that I am pleased with the evidences of ad vancement among you and hepe you will be encouraged in cultivating the soil of such a magnificent country. A French Tragedy. Fashionable French Society is ap palled at a tragedy which occurred quite recently. M. Valentin, who had been the fashionable tailor of Paris and has made a fortune, retired with his wife to Mandres to live. Their son had won unusual honors at the Cavalry School at Saumur, and the day of the tragedy had returned home with a friend to receive the parental congratu lations. The domestic life of the Val entins was rendered miserable by the continual jealousy of the lady, which, as it was without cause, was less en durable. On the occasion of the return of young Valentin,'his father was wit nessing a game of billiards between the lads, when his wife called him up stairs. With a joke about prompt obe dience to superior officers, M. Valentin left the room. A few minutes after wards six pistol shots were heard, and on examination the young dragoon found both his parents dead. It was evident that another attack of jealousy had seized Mad. Valentin, that her husband had become enraged at the annoyance on such a joyous occasion, and had shot his wife and himself to end it forever. The ashes of a letter were found in the room, having probably been burned by one of the parties before the quarrel commenced, as the shots were fired in too rapid succession tojustify the belief that the husband had destroyed it after killing his wife. A mania for sympathy never wrought a more dismal tragedy than this constitutional jealousy. Death of Capt. William Paist. Capt. William Paist, the well known Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, and Grand Secretary of the Patrons of Husbandry, died at his residence just on the outskirts of Saint Paul, at 5:45 Monday morning, of co n sumption.

Mr. Paist has been a resident of St. Paul since 1855, and was one of those who met with se vere business reverses in 1857. In 1862 he enlisted as a private soldier in "H" company of the Eighth regiment, remaining until the close of the war, and gaining an enviable reputation. He was one of the first charter members of North Star Grange of St. Paul—the oldest Grange in the Union—and upon the organization of a State Grange was made its Grand Secretary, a position he held at the time of his death. In 1872 he was elected Secretary of the State Agricultural Society, and re-elected in 1873 and 1874. In all these positions he displayed great energy and good ex ecutive ability, characteristics that won him many waim friends throughout the State. In secial life he was kindly and generous, of irreproachable charac ter, a good citizen, and loving husband and father, and his death will bo sin cerely mourned. —Bryan Walter Proctor, (Barry Cornwall,) the English author, is dead.

Sue Anthony is in Chicago to attend the Illinois Women's Suffrage Associa tion and the guest of Mrs. Fernando Jones. A Chicago Tribune reporter talked with her and we quote a portion: "You will never have Mr. Beecher for a leader again, Miss Anthony ''We never had any man for a leadar—" Mrs. Jones—"Oh yes, Miss Anthony. There was Theodore Tilton Miss Anthony- "That is so we did have him, but only as a mediator he thought he could unite the New York body of Suffragists with the Boston clique. The idea of that boy thinking he could teach the grandmothers "Was he not available in your work?" "No man is particularly available, THEY KNOW TOO MUCH— are too overbearing. They all want to be autocrats. Mrs. Tilton was chair man of our Executive Suffrage Associa tion for one year. If you will remem ber, in one of her published letters she alludes to a meeting at which she pre sided, and said: 'That blessed old Su san ran over to me and said that I had done as well as my lord and master could have done.' You see the most acceptable praise must be filtered through a man's esteem." "Miss Anthony," I began, plunging desperately into the middle of the sub ject at heart, "You have been through almost ail kinds of scenes since we last met. Almost in jail for voting illegally. Did you pay your fine "No and never mean to. The Smith sisters have done more than any of our conventions by refusing to pay their taxes when they cannot vote." *Sviu, YOU VOTE at the next election Miss Anthony—"I would, if I could go home and register. But I must keep on with my work in the West." "Well. Miss Anthony, you only did one foolish thing that was when YOU SAT OX TUKODOHE' TII.TON'S KNEE." Miss Anthony smiled all over her face. "Well," she said, slowly and with a sort of grim humor, "that was my only lapse from rigorous virtue. All the men had declared that Susan was so sour she couldn't get a husband, and I thought that I would show them I could sit on a youqg man's knee just like any foolish girl. I was in Roches ter, when a reporter called to see me. Now, I will not be interviewed—and I did not deny that I sat on Theodore's knee, and 1 never have denied it yet. The next day a long article came out— "Susan puts her foot on it and stamps it a lie." You see I don't deny it. Why should I not onjoy my opportuni ty to be womanly and loving, when I have been called an ogre all my life, and everybody claims to know that I never had a chance to be married. Here I made digression Miss An thony was looking into the future of her sex with calm complacence, when I attacked Kcr with a question so artfully put, as I believed, as to allow of no eva sion. The gist of it was: "Did you, Miss Anthony, sleep with Mrs. Tilton one night, and did she tell you AU, ABOUT MR. BEECHER How little I knew the strategy of that wise General. She looked at me with mild reproach in her expressive gray eyes. "Yes, I did sleep with Mrs. Tilton at different times, but I shall not tell the world what I know, or do not know. If I am summoned before the courts, and examined legally as a witness, it will be my duty to go but I don't think I can remember all the things that have been told me in confidence during all my journeyings. The time is coming when a woman will be answerable only to herself for her own deeds. It is an abominable mix ture of deceit, and cither of the men is ready to sacrifice Mrs. Tilton to save himself. The fact is, if a woman gives herself to a man, either in marriage or out of marriage, he will trample her in the dirt to serve his own ends. Women sell themselves too cheap. They sacri fice themselves on the spot, and it does not matter whether the man has any brains or not It is the creation over again. Old Adam said, "The woman tempted me and I did eat." Beecher says 'The woman tempted me and I did not eat." In both cases she is the one considered to blame. The October Elections. Indiana appears to have gone Demo cratic by 10,000 to 15,000 majority on the State ticket. The Congressmen elected are: First district, Wm. Heil man, Rep. second, James D. Williams, Dem. third, M. C.

Iowa has given about 40,000 majority for the Republican State ticket, and probably elected the entire Republican Congressional delegation. Tne new constitution in Arkansas was adopted by a large majority. The election passed off very quietly. The Republicans were successful in Nebraska by 10,000 majority. Returns from Northwestern Dakota show uniform majorities for Judge Kidder, Republican candidate for dele gate in Congress. —A Philadelphia officer got up a jury of twelve cross-eyed men, and even the judge laughed. MARK TWAIN'S COLD. Ho it Affected Hine-Soine of Remedies He Took for It. The first time I the At the commencement exercises of one of the New York grammar schools, on Thursday last, Miss Bertinc read the following letter from the well known humorist, Mr. Clemens: HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 5.1874.—Miss K. AY. White—Dear Madam: I regret exceedingly being unable to accept your kind invitation (also Mr. P. G. Duffy's! to be present at your com mencement exercises, but the annoying and vexatious illness which still hangs about me, together with some business engagements, will prevent. The illness to which I refer is a severe cold which I took in New York last winter during the lecture season. Perhaps the recital of how I tried to cure this cold may be of interest, and may serve instead of the few remarks you so politely asked me to make to the friends and pupils. v«egan to sneeze, a friend told me to go and bathe my feet in hot water and go to bed. I did so. Shortly after another friend told me to get up, and take a cold shower bath. I did that also. Within the hour, an other friend assured me that it was pol icy to feed a cold and starve a fever. I had both. So I thought it best to fill myself up for the cold, and let the fever starve awhile. In a case of this kind I seldom do things by halves 1 ate pretty heartily^ I conferred my custom upon a stranger, who had just opened his restaurant en Cortlandt street near the hotel, that morning, paying so much for a full meal. He waited near me in respectful silence un til I had finished feeding my cold, when he inquired if the people about New York were much afflicted with colds. I told him I thought they were. He then went out and took in his sign. I started up toward the office, and on the way encountered another bosom friend, who told me that a quart of warm salt-water would come as near curing a cold as anything in the world. I hardly thought I had room for it, but I tried it anyhow. Tho result was surprising. I believe I threw up my immortal soul. Now as I give my experience only for the benefit of those of your friends who are troubled with this distemper, I feel that they will see the propriety of my cautioning them against following such portions of it as proved inefficient with me, and, acting upon this convic tion, I warn them against warm salt water. It may be a good enough rem edy, but I rather think it is too severe. If I had another cold in the head and there was no course left me but to take either an earthquake or a quart of warm salt water, 1 would take my chances on the earthquake.. After this everybody in the hotel became interested, and I took all forts of rem* dies—hot lemonade, cold lemonade, pepper tea, boneset, stewed Quaker, hoarhouud syrup, onions and loaf sugar, lemons and brown sugar, vin egar and laudanum, five bottles fir balsam, eight bottles cherry pectoral, and ten bottles Uncle Sam's remedy, but all without effect. One of the prescrip tions given by an old lady was—well, it was dreadful. She mixed a decoction composed of molasses, catnip, pepper mint, aqua fortis, turpentine, kerosene, and various other drugs, and instructed me to take a wine glassful of it every fifteen minutes. I never took but one dose that was enough. I had to take to my bed, and remain there for two entire days. When I felt a little bet ter more things were recommended. I was desperate, and willing to take any thing. Plain gin was recommended, then gin and molasses, then gin and onions. I took all three. I detected no particular result, however, except that I had acquired a breath like a tur key-buzzard, and had to change my boarding place. At this new place they suggested a different remedy to any yet tried. A sheet bath was recommended. I had never refused a remedy yet, and it seemed poor policy to commence then therefore I determined to take a sheet bath, though 1 had no idea what sort of an arrangement it was. It was administered at midnight, and the weather was very frosty. My back and breast were stripped, and a sheet (there appeared to be a thousand yards of it), soaked in ice-water was wound around me until I resembled a swab for a co lumbiad. It is a cruel expedient. When the chilly rag touches one's flesh in makes him start with sudden violence and gasp for breath, just as men do in the death agony. It froze the marrow in my bones and stopped the beating oi my heart. I thought my time had come. When I recovered from this a friend recommended the application of a mustard plaster to my breast. I be lieve that would have cured me effect ually if it had not been for young Clemens. When I went to bed I put the mustard plaster where I could reach it when I should be ready for it. But young Clemens got hungry in the night and ate it up. 1 never saw a child with such an appetite. I am confident that he would have eaten me if I had been healthy. After all this experience you cannot wonder that I dread going to New York, and feel obliged to decline your kind invitation. Wishing you a successful and pleasant time, I remain, very respectfully, S. L. CLEMENS (Mark Twain.) —Heavy frosts occurred Sunday and Monday nights throughout Kentucky and over northern Tennessee.

WEDDED AND WIDOWED. Sad Frustration of a Brilliant Wed dlugr—A Michigan Belle Widowed on Her Wedding Day. [From the Detroit Free Press, Sept. 28.] Between three and four years since Miss Emma Hulsizer, then a girl of about sixteen years of^age, came to this city to perfect herself in painting and music, for both of which arts, she evinced decided talent. Sho is the fourth daughter of William HuLsizer, of Rochester, Oakland county, a gen tleman as noted for his liberality and hospitality as he is for his social and political influence. While in this city Miss Hulsizer met many persons who became her warm and personal friends. After several months of intense application to her studies in this city she was sent to the Convent of Villa Maria, in Montreal, where sl.e remained for two years as a pupil, distinguished alike for talents aud attention to her studies, and where she graduated this summer with great honor, after which she returned to her home. During one of her vacations she visited a friend, Miss Moyes of New York, and was introduced to Dr. S. E. Moyes, the brother of the hostess. The result was an acquaintance which cul minated in a betrothal, with the con sent and approbation of the relatives of both of the two persons most interest ed, and it was decided that the wedding should take place as soon after Miss Emma's graduation as possible. Ac cordingly, this entire summer has seen active preparations in progress for the event, and an elegant trousseau has been prepared for the bride elect, noth ing which could contribute either to her comfoi or adornment having been omitted, and everything being chosen with a view of the bridal tour to Eu rope, which was expected to consume at least a year. The wedding was to have taken place on the 24th inst.. and cards of invita tion were issued in time to permit friends Irom all parts of the country to be present at the homestead on the occasion the preparations were of the most perfect and elaborate description, and it was intended that the happy event should eclipse anything of the kind ever known in that part of the State. Friends were procuring their presents, and it seemed as though a more auspicious beginning of a life of married happiness would be impossible but fate decreed a sad reversal of the picture, and that the cup of joy should be replaced by the chalace of sorrow. At a late hour on the- 14th inst., a tele gram was received announcing the sud den and dangerous illness of the groom, ond calling for the immediate presence af his intended bride. Wild with anx iety, yet hoping against hope, Miss Emma complied with the request, and on Tuesday started for Buffalo, where she fornd her worst fears were confirm ed, a council of physicians having pro nounced the patient as beyond all hope of recovery. The meeting between the almost dy ing man and his heart broken betrothed was too sacred to be made the subject of a newspaper paragraph but the sequel is one which so nearly resembles romance as to be almost incredible. The groom expectant insisted that before his death he should be united with the WGman of his choice, and, ac cordingly, a clergyman having been summoned, that most solemn of all rites, a death bed marriage, was cele brated. Tho scene is described by one of those present as never to bo forgot ten. The groom, supported in the arms of his devoted mother, feebly re sponded to the questions of the officia ting minister the bride kneeling beside the bedside, with true womanly hero ism repressed the anguish with which her heart was rent an only sister watched with agony by her brother, and a few fond friends knelt in silent griof as the words were said which made one of those two, so soon to be parted bythe hand of death. The Doctor bequeathed his wife as a sacred legacy to his mother and sister, with whom she will henceforth reside, and to whom she is now bound by ties of love. He survived until 1 o'clock on the morning of the 19th, when he sank into a quiet slumber, from which he never awoke. Dr. Moyes was a wealthy man, and it is said he left his intended bride a handsome fortune. These particulars were communicat ed by one of those present on the occa sion, to a friend in this city, who con sented to their publication in this form. The Legal Array in the Beecher Li bel Cases. The Brooklyn Argus, speaking of the indictment against Tilton and Moulton, says the array of counsel in the Tilton case will be unusually large. Roscoe Conkling has accepted a retainer, and will sum up the case. Wm. M. Evarts, B. F. Tracy, John K. Porter, W. O. Bartlett, John Graham and F. T. Shear man will assist Mr. Conklin. The list of Mr. Tilton's counsel is said not to be complete Senator Carpenter of Wis consin D. Dougherty of Philadelphia and David Dudley Field are mentioned. Mr. Moulton has secured Judge Fuller ton, although Gen. Butler will take the lead in the case, and personally appear. Mr. Beach will most likely appear. Also a motion will be made for a change of venue. This is a matter in the dis cretion of the court. A motion will be made for a certiorari to carry the case before the supreme court. This, we be lieve, is a motion of right, and an effort will then be made to remove the case to Albany or Westchester. It is thought the trial will take place in a fortnight, and it will probably last three or four weeks. T.
