BHORTLIDGE L ■•20 8m dAr . rote Father Tricked. A special despatch from Buffalo, N. Y., ear*: not a when It became known that one of the belles of the village, Miss Mary Bake Colt and Krank Lawson an attache of the Custom house at the bridge, had eloped, and eluding the vigllanoe of her parents, had been married in Buffalo. The intention of the pair was not un kuuwu to a select few, as the young lady had informed one or two of her boeom friends yesterday that before many hours elapsed she would be Mrs. Lawson. When the fact became more generally known to-day there was more than regret among those ac quainted with the case. Miss Colt Is a very handsome girl of about 19 years. She had been seoretly engaged to Mr. Lawson for some time. The match was bitterly opposed from the first by her father Lee Colt, who is one of the oldeBt residents of Suspen sion Bridge, and was at one time very wealthy. He is under financial embar rassment, it is stated, and it is farther alleged that to obtain relief, he had planned to have his daughter united in marriage with a young man of Buffalo, Timothy Glaesford, who by the terms of a will made by his father (he was one of the wealthiest gamblers in Buffalo when he died), is to inherit 130,000 when he becomes 25 years of age. His attentions to Miss Colt were of a persistent character and he reoeived every enoonragement from her father, visited her frequently, and lavished the most costly presonts on her. Miss Colt, however, did not entertain par ticular favor for him and never thought serionaly of the matter, believing that she would escape such a hateful mar riage by some means. Of late Glass ford had urged his suit more and more, and great pressure was brought to bear to,induce her to accept him. Mr. Lawson was a boarder at the Colt man sion, and, MIbb Colt consenting to an elopement as a last resort for peace and relief, it was an easy matter to pack her clothing in his trunk. Then he announced his intention to go home for a visit of two weeks, aud the trunks taken to the depot. Not the slightest suspicion was aroused. De lighted with the success of their scheme, and laughing in their sleeves, the pair Wednesday evening boarded the (1.25 train for Buffalo, where they lost uu time in getting married. It is though! they went to New York from here, aud will remain there during Mr. Lawson's wo weeks' leave of absence. Am For on the is to est all to key it the one ed of a a le of Suspension Bridge were i disturbed this morning, The r were iu ol on Senator Maine is described by the "Cincinnati Com mercial" as a distinguished looking man,with broad shoulders,snowy beard and iron-grn- nair. It says, in refer ence lo bin manner of speaking, tbat he Is ".i thorough stumper. He must have a space iu which to speak, at least teu feet by four, and he will cover ev ery foot of it, aud keep those crowded about the borders dodging to avoid his flats. He olten turns his back to the audience, aud speaks to the people on the stand. He has a peculiar way of fixing on xn Individual generally close at his elbow, and addressing a heated discussion for a minute at a time di rectly at him, glaring at him all the time without Beeing him, and making the poor victim thoroughly miserable. As a genenal thing a reporter is his victim, as they are on either side of him when be speaks, and this is all right. He can't Bcare one of them. He likes to be interrupted—courts ques tioning aud interrupting, in fact—aud goes slam bang after the person inter rupting." The Uanoneliet Scandal. A special despatch from Providence, K. I., says: Governor Spiiigue has decided not to recognise the Mrs. Sprague trustee. He will hold Canouchet as far as the law allows for his personal benefit, but will surrender to Mrs. Sprague without delay and without reserve whatever she can prove to he her own. Tbe re mainder be will hold for the benefit of eventual surrender to the creditors of the A. & W. Sprague Manufacturing Thus be antagonizes Z. an company. Chaffee, tbe trustee of tbe Sprague He denounces Mrs. Sprague's estate. trustee and her lawyers as conspirators, snd threatens to bring an action against tbem. Tula attitude will prove an noying to Mrs. Sprague, who will have to fight both her husband and Mr. Chaffee, who dislikes her greatly. Tbe 'affair cannot be settled without further litigation, and all tbe Interested par ties are in a state of ludignation. Colonel Grant told a reporter in San EranoiBCO, last week, that as yet bis father had re ceived no proposition to take the presi dency of the Nicaragua Ship Canal Com pany,and even if propositions should be made Colonel Grant said it was not probable that be would accept them. As to tbe Panama route, he added that his father believed the alluvial lands near Aspinwall could never be controll ed so as to render a Ship canal there practicable, and while holding Captain Eads' ability as an engineer in mnoh esteem, he doubted if his plan for a marine railway could be made success ful, for ten miles out of Aspinwall there is no foundation ou whioh to build a railway firm enough to carry ships. The soil there is a soft deposit which would permit a roadbed to sink. Bed rock is a long way below the surface, rendering it a gigantic operation to sink enough granite ou which to build a solid track. ifan Girl*.

Tbft lullkt iH Ml tha Apelike For the Dally Republican. Prof. Gunniag'i lecture on Thursday on the origin and destiny of man was listened to by a larger audience than greeted his previous efforts, and was Intensely interesting to those pres ent, judging from the close attention they gave his discourse.He showed that the structure of man and the higher order of apes was the same in bone, musole, nerve and brain, and the as sumption that the lattir cannot reason is yet to be proven. In the interior of Africa there are certain tribeB so little above the ape in intellect and language that they can scarcely articulate so as to be understood and can't count the fingers on their hands. And their high est sense ofright and wrong amounts to this: If 1 steal man's boomerang its all right. If man steal my boomerang it is all wrong. Though judging from prac tice, he need not hare gone all the way to Africa to find that stage of develop ment. Indeed it was pretty plainly hinted that man had not yet left all the mon key behind him. And in the fact that it is impossible to make the monkey the second time sick or drunk on to bacco or whiskey we will have to score one in favor of the monkey. Conditions, surrounding and necessi ties operating through long millions of years form and modify and direct the onward maroh of man aud animals, and have resulted in the present stage of development. In an attempt by a scientific gentle man of London to educate some of the brightest specimens of apes he oould find, the greatest difficulty he encoun tered was to hold their attention any length of time. But not any more difficult than Horace Greeley found it to retain a human audience at an Agricul tural Ezhibitionin Connecticut when the showman raised the cry of "Two head ed pigs to be seen for ten cents." The thousands scampered to more congenial surroundings, and left the great editor alone in his glory,to tell what he knew about farming. The naked savage of the dark continent Btioks his ears full of trifles which he calls his property, and thus develops an ear that lays like a flap over his shoulders. The muscles of the horse by whioh he (Witches the flies from his body would orivel if the horse were clothed soon . lili.. man. Without pretending to give in ful the facte and arguments advanced by the Prof, we would Invite thinking tuen and women to hear him for themselves, and however they may differ from his conclusions they will find an entertain ment far superior to the majority of those which draw such crowded houses iu the same building. The same sub ject will be further illustrated on next Tuesday evening and he wishes it par ticularly announced that he will speak fifteen minutes before the regular lee ture begins on the origin and develop ment ol petroleum. "I bat Cheap Encylopsedla." Volume one of the new "Library of Universal Knowledge" is issued Sept. 20th. It coutains 730 pages of small but clear and beautiful type, hand somely printed on good paper, and is neatly and strongly bonnd in cloth, half morocco and half Russia, at 50 cents, 75 cents, and $1.00 per volume. The succeeding volumes will appear about two per month, till the 20 volumes completing the work are issued. Speci men volumes are sent to any part of the United States (10 cents extra for post age,) with privilege of return aftor ten days examination. Special terms are offered to early suberibers and to clubs, ol which fnll particulars are sent free request by the publishers, the American Hook Exchange, 55 Beekman street, New York. That a complete Encyclopedia, first class in character, and containing more matter than any heretofore published in this country at any price, should be made and sold for the trilling sum of $10.00, seems so extraordinary, that mauy who wish it may be true, are very naturally incredulous. The same house publish a large list of standard works, all at similarly low prices, and the presence of some of them already in the hands of hundreds of thousands of lovers of good books in all parts of the laud, is naturally rapidly trans forming the Incredulous into patrons and enthusiastic friends of the enter prise. No mystery is made about the cause of tho low prices—they are, the reduced cost of manufacture to about one-half what it was a few years ago, the method of sale, direct to the pur chaser, saving him the large commis sions commonly paid to agents aud dealers, and a very large sale. It is worth tbe cost of a postal card to see their catalogue. on Effect- of a Whirlwind. A farmer and his shepherd were to gether in a field near Sawyn.Metioneth shire, in Wales, looking aftor a largo Hook of sheep. Suddenly a peculiar crackling sound caused them to lift up their heads, when, to their astonish ment, they perceived the sheaves iu an adjoining wheat field being whirled about by some invisible agenoy. Tbe course of the destroyer appeared to he directed to where the flock of sheep were quietly grazing. With a rushing sound that proved to be a whirlwind was upon tbem, and iu a few seoonds scattered the sheep about like chaff. One of them was lifted by the force of the whirlwind a tremendous height in to the air, and fell to the ground dead. The wind passed quickly away in a westerly direction, without further damage. Religion. Revival, to Hie Nontb. A despatch from Petersburg, Va„ of the most notable events of says one .... the day is the great number of relig ious revivals that haveocourred during the last two months in that and the surrounding counties, and even extend ing into the neighboring counties of North Carolina. In a number of instan ces Irom twenty-five to one hundred conversions have occurred at a single meeting, and from forty to fifty are common. They ooour alike in all de nominations, and among the whites as wella 3 the blaoks. Large additions have been made to ohurch congrega tions. The revivals are still iu pro grass. Another Jar Cook* Dividend. The committee of creditors of the Jay Cooke estate on Thursday declared a third cash dividend of 2* per ceutj>ay able on and after November 3. They 'also declared an "Asset Scrip Divi dend '' of 10 per cent, in accordance with' the provisions of the " Plan for oloeing the estate," the certificates of Jhlch will be glven to thecr^itor. at the time of payment of cash dividend.
