Ho is a Bepublican tried and true and worthy of any favor which tho party may havo to bestow. Tin: New York World unconsciously pays a considerable tribute to tho Bo publican party. In a leading article under tho heading "A Splendid Specta cle," that journal points to tho 4maniti cvut illustration of tho "good sense and patriotism of our iooplo" to bo seen in the peaceful submission of tho people to the results of so close a contest. Most certainly tho Democrats would peace fully submit to a decision in their favor, but tho incendiary address of the chair man of tho Democratic committee, at a time when the result was in doubt, shows that it very ill becomes the Democrats to appropriate any of tho credit for peaceful submision.

THE NEW YORK SENATORSHIP. The politico of Now York Stato is al ways an important element in National politico. Just now the particular phase of New York politics in which the people of other States are interested is the fore cast of tho United States Senatorhip from that State. Tho difficulty in ar riving at a satisfactory prediction as to who shall bo tho successor of Senator Cnkling'H successor arises in a great measure from uncertainty regarding tlie attitude of lending politicians formerly identified with the- Stalwart faction.

The Cave In Which Mining: Yankee L.ad Waa Found Secreted. Waltharu (Mass.) Special. A lad thirteen years old, named Fred James Kimball, of Boston Highlands, was found the other day secreted in a cave in what is known as the Chemistry district. It appears the lad has an inveterate habit of running away from his homo, which ho says is caused by the cruelty of his par ents. Recently he has run away twice. The tirst time ho went to Walthain, where he remained at the house of a friend or ac quaintance until the latter, feeling suspi cious that all was not right, sent him home again. His mother then spoke of sending him to the Island, there to remain until he was twenty -one years bid. Tho next day he disappeared, and was not seen until this morning by those on the lookout for him. He was then discovered by an agent of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The lad had been sleep ing for the past week or more in a cave, about five or six feet in diameter and two or throe feet deep, a sort of hole in the ground, covered with an old zinc-plate and other material. Ho was supplied with food by the boys of the neighborhood, who be came interested in hia youthful escapade and romantic life. AVhen found there was a keg partly filled with apples and pota toes in tho cave, some bedding, including excelsior, to sleep upon, an old blanket for covering, and several other articles of no spec'al uso or value. For light ho used candles, several short pieces of which were found. He evidently has not suffered from exposure, as tho weather has been mild. He appears to be a bright lad, and evi dently knows what he is about. His father Is James Fred Kimball, a Boston Highlands jeweler. Word will be sent to his parents, and the boy will be properly disposed of. MR. SITTING BULL. IIov nrlllrrent Aborljlnoe Ar Pacified Ice Cream a Ice-.M kcr.

Tht JUh lr i t lilt Uu With CI ab and Uiiock Ulm Into th lire" A Summary Method vf lJUpo Lu of a rle Deity. S. Y, Cor. Piiitadelphia Preid It U a wtll known fact that among thosa who an aequaintel with the charaettr of the Chin' j j that a Mongolian U of a very treacherous nature aud on ail occasions will Uir watching. This treacht-ry i not only not icva LI o uiuoxig the jxjrer classta of the race, Lut it extendi into the circle of their priests and oftentimes marks their moat solemu religious festivals. . A case of this character took place in Chiuatowu, Ban Francisco, a few nightj since, when one of the Chinese societies lured one of their many gods to the fatal board, and there destroyed him iu a most ignominious manner. It appears that one of the spirits in th Joss House had been a source of great an noyance for a year past, and he was con tinually bringing the members of the so ciety into trouble, so it was resolved that he should be summarily destroyed. Ot course the inmolation ol the evil one was a hazardous undertaking and could only be successfully carried out by treachery and strategy combined. Preparations for destroying him had been Roing on for two days previous to the very night the evil spirit was doomed to meet his destruction. The night was one most suited for the carrying out of the treacherous work. A chilly fog had rolled iu from the ocean, ami the wind sighed mournfully around the rookeries in the Chinese quarter. The liht of the moon was obscured by the heavy fog, and all without was bleak and dreary. About eight o'clock the members of the society formed in a procession head ed by tho priests and marched out from the temple. A hideous image representing the evil spirit was borne in the procession by attendants, and by their side was a num ber of Mongols carrying braziers of lighted coal. The musicians, mock mardarins and lantern bearers followed in the rtar of the image aDl rendered their selections with telling ellect on the nerves of the few white people who were in attendance, notwithstanding tho inclemency of the ni-ht. The procession marched through the al leys and by-ways in Chinatown, and at various points along the route punks and caudles were lighted and placed by the sidewalk, and mock money was consumed in tho braziers. Whilo the services were being carried on in the temple tho image was left in a hall way sitting on a throuo. His right hand was- uplifted, signifying that he would strike down the members of the society who were planning his death, were it not for tho intervention of tho Great Joss. A dozen circular paper frames, in which were placed lighted tapers, were standing in front of the doomed image, showing the twelve lesser spirits who wore powerless to htdp them, inasmuch as he was powerless to help himself, and on a table about a half dozen feet away from the evil ono was an assortment of nuts, candies and confec tionery and a piece of pastry consisting of threo hands extending from one wrist. The hands represented the benign power by which tho good people were protected from the vengeance of the evil spirit, who, by this time, was supposed to be chafing at his power of revenging himself having been taken away from him. An attempt to conciliate him was made by placing a bounteous repast of the choice morsels in front of him, and when the high priest and his assistants had concluded their services before the Great Joss, they gave the evil spirit their attention. The image was carried out on his throne and placed at tho head of the banquet table. The banquet was commenced, and w hen it was at its height, one of the priests ignited a Itonlire, and in a few minutes the street was in a blaze for a distance of about thirty feet. When tho fire was at its height the hi?h priest cautiously emerged from tho temple, and crept up behind the unsuspecting guest, who had been lured to the banquet table to Le assassinated. The priest drew a club from under tho folds of bin garb, and held it aloft in the air awaiting the signal to destroy tho spirit. Tlifl priests wero all eyeing their bowls, when a clang on tho gongs an nounced that the opportune moment had arrived. The high priest struck the imago with the club and knocked it into tho fire, and in a morneut it was in a blaze. His throne then followed him and it was de stroyed. Then tho high priest sprinkled water ou the ashes, and musicians burst forth iusan car-piercing strain and tho priests cried forth in tones of joyr Thus it was that the evil one wns treated. The .priests returned to tho temple and informed the Great Jos of the successor the scheme, and thanked him for having prevented tho evil one from Ix-ing able to protect himself against their wiles. Tho Celestial iqeotA tors took their departure for their dens and in a short time were unconscious from opium smoking. f:ver,Tthlnif In I.urk." Globe (A. T.)
