He
knows, and Mr. Beecher knows,
and Mr. Moulton knows, that all
their money can not buy me, and
all their powerful influence can not
intimidate me from going on In the
straight course which I have laid
out for myself in all this matter
They know that I published Ihe
only plain, uugarbled vtrue state
ment nf tho pane, and have always
been willing to take the consequf li
ces of that pti intention. Air. tiuoii
Is no more to me than Mr. Beecher,
lior Mr. Beecher than Tllton
Theodore's story that his publisl
ing my "Life" and doing so many
favors for me, was for the purpose
of bribing mo to keep quiet, Is false.
Ills statement that he broke With
nie lu the Spring of 1872 because I
threatened to attack several of the
lady advocates of the woman's suf
frage cause is also untrue. He
came to me at that time It was
shortly before Greeley's nomina
tion for the Presidency and told
me that he had beeu detailed by
Mr. Greeley to go to the Cincinna
ti Convention to report It. I said
to him, "Theodore, you are going
there to nominate that poor old
man for the Presidency, and It will
kill him. You know in your heart
that It will be the death of your be
nefactor. Do not go. I see, by my
clairvoyant vision, G reeley 's coffl n,
and you standing alongside, driv
ing a nail into it." But he went,
and that was the last of our Intim
acy. Did I not tell the truth about
Greeley? WaB not that conven
tion the cause of his death ?
I am summing up the case. Col
onel Blood and myself are prepar
ing a statement which will throw
light on the whole affair. I have
kept an accurate and complete rec
ord of everything pertaining to this
business. I will sum up the record
and publish It In my own paper,
and then, and not till then, the
public will learn the truth.
Reporter-Did your sudden return
to this country have anything to do
with this matter? ,
Mrs. Woodhull Nothing at all
I wtiB worn out and needed rest.
My sister and myself were presen
ted with tickets for the round trip,
and we were very glad to get them
iteporter will you inform me
who gave them to you ?
Mrs. Woodhull I do not thluk it
is at all necessary to do so. Mr
Tllton did not expect me back so
soon, and published his statement
when he thought I was In Europe,
and the public excitement would
have time to effervesce and cool off
before I had an opportunity to re
ply, but be was mistaken. My re
ply will be forthcoming shortly,
and It will tear the mask off, and
let the people see the naked truth
of this whole affair.
Reporter Can you give me out
line of what It will bet
Mrs. Woodhull smiled and said
"Oh, no, I'm going to put it all in
my own paper. It wouldn't do to
give it to you first. Theodore Til-
ton knows me well enough to knew
that I will ' not refuse the chal
lenge." This closed the Interview
Mrs. Woodhull stating that she
would be at her office, No. Ill Nas
sau street, in a few days, bet pre
ferred that the newspaper frater
nity should remain Ignorant of her
From the Chicago Inter-Octan.
Governor Allen (of Ohio) thinks
that he is a candidate for Presi
dent." The Enquirer and several
other papers in the State have
told him so, and the simple mind
ed old man has dyed hia whiskers,
thrown away his cane, and comes
forth in all the frcshucss of youth
nndcr the rejuvenating power of
ambition.' Ho is swinging around
the circle, ostensibly to aid his
party in the fall campaign ; really
to tell, the old Bourbons or Ohio
that he will give them all postoffl
cea and foreign appointments in
1876. But tho old man can't see
through a mill stone don't know
that they are using him to shove
Thurman out of Pendleton's way,
and that it is by Pendleton's sug
gest ion that he is allowed to dream
of future greatness for a time.
The "Young Eagle of the West"
is already pluming his feathers for
his regular quadrennial Presldeiv
tial fight. Ho has blown a strong
blast on the party bugle, ftnd wiU
soon be blowing his owu. called
upon hlra yesterday to iuterview
hi in upon tho situation. I found
him in an old-fashioned building
on Third street, in au unpretcn
tious room, with no itgu to at
tract tho notice of passers but
small, rusty ploco of iron, no
which wa9 simply lettered " Geo.
II. Pendleton."
One would think that a man of
his ambition wonld placard him
self in lettors of gold. His offlro
is small, old-fashioned and mca-
srerly furnished, but there he was
a llttlo moro gray in his beard
than when I last saw him a little
more 'capacity uudcr his waist
coat but the same, hearty, cordial
getitlonian that he ever was.
I told hint my errand that the
Inter-Ocean had sent me down to
talk with him, and he replied :
' " Well, come In, come in, take a
chair and sit dowu ; but you can'
interview me,"
"You'll tell mo what you thluk
of Ihe nroBpects this fall, Won't you
what will be the result In Ohio? "
I suggested.
" Tho Democrats," said he, lift
ing his finger to emphasize the re
mark, and lowering his voice to an
Impressive whisper, " are going to
carry the State I "
" By how many majority?"
"I cannot tell that. But we have
got them on the hip. They have
killed themselves by making tem-
Derance an Issue. It may go down
with some of your good old Metho
dist farmers, but it won't do in
town. They'll lose their Congress
men In Cuyahoga, in Montgomery,
In LucaB. and In two or three other
districts, and they wou't' have the
ehost of a show to defeat Banning
here In Cincinnati."
"So you thluk the Democrats,
.a ...tit . a.
as you can tnem, win carry vue
StaTe?"
" I think," said he, repeating my
words after me deliberately, " the
Democrats will carry the State."
" But do you think," I suggest
ed, " it was prudent for you to put
a plank In your platform looking
to repudiation ? "
' I told you, my young friend,
that I wasnt going to bo inter
viewed."
Well, I'll let you off if you'll
answer me one question. Are you
sincere in your suggestion of old
Bill Allen for President? "
Tho " Young Eagle of the West"
drew down his face as some people
do when they are about to utter a
stupendous joke, and I expected he
was going to say something thnt
would Interest Governor Allen, but
ho simply replied : " It Isn't lime
to talk about that yet. Besides, If
it was, I wouldn't tell you,"
Is the general impression In
Ohio," I attempted again, " favor
able to Governor Allen as a candi
date?"
1 lt' ton early to talk about the
Presidential candidate yet. I nev
er pretend to speak about the fit'
ture."
Just then Mr. Pendleton excused
himself to meet some clients, and
shaking my hand cordially, said
"Come in to-morrow, and we will
talk a little; but you can't Inter
view me."
People whom I have met In Ohio
this weeK seem to think that Fen
dleton would stand a very good
chance to carry his State If nomi
nated for President by the Demo
crats in 1870, and he is already be
ginning to lay bis wires very can
HoubIv and thorouirhlv. He is no
ing to keep poor old Allen up as

Ta tl (wot ills Tiium:
Tho two prevailing topic of the
times here are the Indian troubles
aiid the grasshoppers. , Tho Indian
troubles are. however, causing the
greater excitement, and there Is
an intense feeling of iudiguatiou
agaiust tho government spreading
throughout the West, that tho red
skins have had their way long
enough, aud that they will submit
to their outrages uo longer. There
la no need for mo to recount them
to you, for every Western paper
that you pick up is teeming with
list of murders, of tortures, auu
of outrages too horrible for belief.-
I met a border man last night who
said to mo: "Put yourself in tho
placo of some poor sufl'erer. x ou
had left a pleasant home in civili
sation, and had come, a poor man,
to this new couutry, aud with
much toil and hardship you had
at last carved out of the wilder
ncss a happv homo. You see your
children growing up around you,
happy and prosperous, l on be
hold large herds of cattle, all your
own, roaming over tho prairies-
You sco your fields of grain, rust
ling in the breezes, and you think
to yourself, it is well that I liavo
done this. Suddenly the scene
changes. Where once Btood your
happy homo uow lie smouldering
ruins: where" roamed your herds
and rustled your grain; U now
barren and desolate wilderness;
your sonMnurdcrcd, and your wlft
and daughters far better for them
had thev shared the samo fate. He
said the only good thing ho over
know an Indian to do, was that
once in awhite he gete a peace
commissioner iuto his bauds and
makes short work of him.

mind of the people aud keep Thur
man out of the way; then, when
thev are tired of that, he'll Rive
them some one else to talk about
till he is ready to unfurl his wings
and sail out in all his slorv. Pen
dleton's friends think Hendricks
will have no show. He is a trim
nier, they complain ; be may be a
nrettv coed Governor of Indiana,
but he lita't positive enough to be
President. .And If. they say, the
candidate Blunt lie a Western man
and It lies between the two, why
Pendleton will have it as plain as
n tho purchase of county boudi

their destitute people.

A paper out in Dakota the Ells

himself not to drink a drop of liquor

we'll lift you and you cnu drink

We have received from au emi
nent American jurist the follow:
ius interestVig narrative:
Near the close of the seventeenth
... ....
entury that renowned judge, Mr
John Holt, Lord Chief Justice of :
England, esteemed by his conteiu-
oraries as welt a by men of
after-age, a au embodiment both
f the law and of justice, was pre
siding at the assizes held in and
or hi native county of Oxford.
A decrepit old woman was put on
trial, charsred with tho crime of
witchcraft. The history of ihe
case, the offense of which tho
prisoner was alleged to be guilty,
were laid before the jury by the
ttorney-Gencra! prosecuting for
the Crown. The Chief Justice
ibtencd to the opening of tho case
with Unusual earncstuess. lor
there was recalled to his memory
a curious incident connected with
his own early life. When a stu
dent at the University of Oxford
his habits wcro wild and irregu
lar, and ho iravo no promise of his
great futuro eminence. In com
pany with several other young
students ho had heon for soveral
days ou a carouse through somo of
tho country places in tho vicinity
of Oxford. Young Holt had sepa
rated himself from his .compan
ions, and riding up to a way-side
Inn, without any mouey in liirf
pocket, he yet directed his horse
to be fed and an ample Jinner pre
pared for himself. Strolling into
tho kitchen ho noticed the daught
er of thd hostess was sick, and
was told by her mother that she
was a great Bufl'orcr from fever
... . .. -i . -i.i
agne, anil that tno uociors nau
beeu unable to euro her. The
young collegian at oneo declared
his ability to effect a cure. Tak
iiitl a pieco of parchment, ho wrote
upon it a cabalUtla word in the
Greek characters, bound it tightly
upon tho wrist ol tho girl, and
assured her that while she retain
cd it sho would havo no further
return of hor chills and fever, lie
remained at the inn for several
days, uiKftho girl had no return of
her sickness. - When demanding
his bill, tho irratcful mother said
she had no charge .against him,
aud only regretted that ho limited
means would not permit her to
make him more uniple payment
for the healing of her daughtor.
Ho rode away hi triumph. And
now, as ho sat on tho bench as the
Lord Chief Justice of England, he
know that tho decrepit old woman
ou trial for her lif'o before him
was tho daughter of tho woman
who. kept tho way-side inn, and
upon whose wrist ho had bound
tho parchment charm forty year
before. ' , p
She had. -followed lu his own
footsteps, and had boon Rising the
charm for thebcuciit of her neigh
bors and friends. The Chief Jus
tice called her up, and us she tin
folded lomo old greasy rags, she

Two-Headkd S.sa KB. Three

us that a ground rsttlesnnke with
two heads was killed ou lower Deek
creek last week. The snalto was
about a foot long, the fwo heads
perfectly formed, the reptile licking
out both tongues and striking with
when provoKeu.

that iiif.v Imve beirun

word in hi own hand writing
writtcu upon it. It is needless to
add that the woman was at once
discharged. If tho great Chief
Justice had previously entertain
ed any doubts ou tho subject o
witchcraft, "they were uow re
moved. i
There is a curious sequel to the
incident above related. Some
tweufy-ilvo years ago tlio w riter of
this articlo was sitting in "the
privato office iu Wall Street of the
late Mr. S- , then a wealthy re
tired merchant, and acting presi
dent of one of the principal Wall
Street banks. Ho was a quaint,
curious man, fond of the marve
lous, and disposed to belief in
spii itulismi then first coming into
prominent notice, uur conversa
tion had been continued for ooine
liuiu' discussing Scottish second-
sight, supernatural appearances
iiii'm panceiiillv Kidd's burled treas
ures, when ho suddenly changed
tha sublcct. 'saving, abruptly, " i
can cure tho fever and ague." On
uBklmr how.' ho produced a small
piece of parchment with a cabalis
tic WOUl wriueii on u in iui; um
i-hm'iH'.ters. envinif it must he
bound on the wrist, and tho dis
ease will disappear or go awtiy.
Ho did not tell nie how or when
ho had obtained the wonderful
charm. Nor wnB I a that time
aware of the trial before referred
to, and sure am I that he could
havo had no knowledge of it. A
hundred and fit'tf ywr had come
and gono since the al ary had
been exposed by Lord Chief Jus
tice Hoit. , It is probable that nt
gomotiiiie during the forty years
proceeding that trial tho woman
possessing tho pretended charm
hnd communicated the secret, and
given a copy to some friend emi
grating to "America, and that it
miy have boon handed down
through successive generations,
and poehaiis in somo case effect
ing cures bv and Ihi otigh the im
agination. It, haw been said that
sometimes violent exorcise and
sometimes slrong impressions on
the mind will ward off attacks of
what are called, lirs of iiglio.
