Thk Boston Globe welcomed the Vos Btkvbkk party in an able editorial printed in his mother tongue. It was a ha.se insinuation that the distinguished Dutchman could not read any thing else.

The Globe should be careful about making a bass of itself, There is a great chance that the contempt which ARrnt'R had for certain powerful editors who abused him while iAriKLD lived will only be. excelled by the disgust which he feels for them, now that they have Come around to lick his boots. If President ARTnra lacks knowledge regarding partiesaud politics in Hamilton County there is no indication that he will trouble Ben Bittkrworth for the desired information.

says "the (irand Jury stands between the citizen and his calumniator." "The calumniator, however, if there be calumniation, is the only rty which has direct access to the lirand Jury. But Isoirituni.l. can lie eloquent and picturesque, not to say grotesque, about any thing. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange has prepared a list of fifty-eight questions to he answered by parties who have new utinaa to lit. The object is to guard agaiust fraudulent concerns.

If the New-York Mining Exchanges would have taken some such precaution as this, these institutions would not now be in such bad lur with the decent business community. A Indianapolis paper comes boldly to the defense of the White Jlouse against toe charge that it is a barracks, and rays: "On the contrary, modeled after a palace. It Is spacious, roomy and comfortable, and built in a manner to shame the modern tli may Chicago style of architecture." No one suspected that the White'IIouse, from an Indianapolis stand-point, was any thing but a palace. Some of the learned statesmen of the Lincoln Clnb who aspire to run a large portion of Ohio politics would, perhaps, bejgled to recall certain Impassioned remarks made shortly after the retirement of Corkuko from the United States Senate. There is a suspicion abroad that the sentiments expressed then will not help them largely with the present Administration.

The news from Washington this morning is not of a nature to increase the happiness of Join Shkrmats. A bit of testimony said to have been taken before the Committee which recently investigated the crookedness of the Custodian of the Treasury under Sherman has found its way to the public. According to this witness, Sukhxas had a happy way of employing workmen about bis private stables and residences, and making Uncle Sun pay tbeir salaries. Shkrhas should write a aerd. Governor Foster has given a kind of general and uncertain denial of tho New York Sot's report of certain conversations relative to Mr.

Blaive's Presidential aspirations. Governor Foster ia a politician, and knows how to get up a denial that, ia the absence of cross-examination, will be more or less convincing to "the credulous. lie also gives an opportunity to that portion of the press which has no correspondence of any kind to make indignant deliveries about the reckless character of the letters of Washington correspondents. We present to the readers of the En quirer this morning the first of a series of articles on the most striking events In the early history of Ohio. Sinoe the civil war our people seem to have lost interest in the early history of the State.

As Ohio was the first State admitted to union with the thirteen Colonies, the time is not far off when she will celebrate the centen nial of important events in her. early history. The Lord bunxosR invasion la .1774 waa a remarkable expedition a succinct history of it has never been writ ten, and the account presented this moru las will interest the people of Southern Onto especially ia the clocking and Scioto Valleys, 111 Meredith, called the' 'boy preacher," baa been oa trial at Can- too Illinois, charged with "swearing, drunkenness, lying, smoking and claim-Is ta fce RapabUma bw ae was a DenKxJraX." undoubtedly, it the young man was guilty 01 either 01 tne offenses alleged be should be satnmarily expelled from the ministry. We particularly call attention to the last charge. A man so devoid of self-respect and lost to propriety as to pretend to be a Republican when be was a Democrat deserves no sym pathy.

He is Jike the man of resiiectable habits and associations who, for the pur pose of making bimjtcir popular vmn "the boys, pretends to be a conscienceless rake. We hope to bear that Meredith baa been fired. There will be elections In twelve States to-morrow.

Lap-ham and Miller to the United States Senate. The Chicago JnlrrOcran says it has been compelled to drop the name of a prominent Iowa psper from Its exchange list, "and pronounce it a common thief among It cites several cases where its letters were bodily stolen, and says if the thieving editor "had stolen the money that was paid for these letters we could have him iudicted and sent to jail but the value being in another form, he is not liable, and he knows it, which makes bis act the more mean and despicable." We are glad to note an outcropping of moral tone in a Chicago paper on the subject of appropriating valuable newspaper matter without proper credit. We have no qnarrel with the Inter-Ocean on that point, but we trust its just strictures on theft in general will have a reforming effect on at least one of its immediate neighbors. The Inter-Ocean has braced ns up with a hojie that after all that haa been said Chicago is not as wicked as Leadville. Thb Philadelphia Press puts a series of questions to Hon.

Cham. S. Wouk the bolting candidate for State Treasurer, and among them is this: "Granting, for the sake of the argument, all that he charges against the Republican party, doss that Justify lilm or any other Repub lican, when it comes to a choice between the Republican and Democratic partita, in choos ing to pot the leiuocratie party in powert" As Mr. Wolfe lias made 710 charges against the Republican party, but against the managers of the Republican and particularly the State officials, it is pre sumed that these are the charges which tho fress "for the sake of argument," undertakes to graut. The principal- charge made by Mr.

Wolfe was that these State officials are corrupt, and that at least one of them, the Governor, hud used the Slate's funds for private speculations. We 1 I .1. ran omy axsume, iroiu me question put uv the Press to Mr. Wolfk, that It is willing to accept these charges of corruption a statements of fact, and still prefer these Republican officials and managers to Ileui- ocruts, although they bo honest Democrats. This is the length, breadth aud depth of all Republican argument Vote the Republican ticket regardless of the character of the men whose names are printed upon it.

It ia a powerful argument, but the identical case of Mr. Wolfe shows it is losing some of its potency. The following paragraph is from an editorial in the New York Ilertild. Kven the prejudiced Feutherliead will scarcely be able to find Maws in its philosophy: "Mr. Blaixk'9 particular idea seems to be that President Ar.TitfK's Cabinet 'will be Guakt front top to bottom after January lsu Well, what of It? Mr.

Akthcr, as President, has the constitotionel right to select Ills Cabinet, the members of which are hlscon-Odeulial advisers. Ho absolute is this right, in the public apprehension, that the Senate, wuich has the duty and power of sitting as an advisory court ou Cabinet nominations, has only in very rare and extreme cases rejected such nominations. It haa always been held, and rightly, we think, that, barring groHsly unfit nominations, a President has the right to select his constitutional advisers. The Cha6 Inier-Orea feels moved in the following vein of sarcasm: "The City of Cincinnati, following; the example of the Southern vlll'ures, proposes to cripple Its trade by levying a lax npou coin-merrlal travelers who show their samples to toe nierchaniaof that town.

Yesterday morning at five o'clock Officer Jack Scott, one of the patrolmen on duty at the fire in the -Big Missouri" tenement-house. while standing on Sycamore afreet was approached by a man, who accosted him.

The stranger was well dressed, and apparently about 'thirty-five years of see. He was of dark complexion, with black hair, and had dark, pi erciun eyes, a lank, attenuated form, with every appearance of a person being In tbe last amices of consumption. At the request of the stranger the policeman stepped into an alley, when he opeued the con versation by stating that his name James Hardy, of Terre Haute, Indiana; after which he proceeded to relate to the officer part of his history. It seems, from the storv told by Hardy, that he and bis wife the" couple at that time living in Indlanap- olisi had some words over a small ansircot nected with their household arrangements, and tbe matter culminated In an altercation, which was settled for -the time by the pair separating, encu going in a uinerent uireo tion. Tina occurrence took place fouryaars ago, and Hardy, who regretted their ps ration Immediately afterward made a vigorous etfort to atone lor bis part in the sflair by Irving to Hud her.

After a long search be had traced ber to Cincinnati, but waa unauie to discover ber whereabout here. He asked the officer to assist him lu his hum. and stated that bia wife's name was Msud Hardy. The officer thought that the name sounded familiar tn him, and going over to a small dive on Sixth street, acvom pan led by the man, he commenced to make inquiries. The place in question consists ot a small cigar and news-stand In the front room, and in the back room is the.

Dr. Charles Blade, probably the most noted medium ia this or any other eountry, gavs one of his spiritualistic seances at the Urand Opera-bouse last evening before a very large attendance.

In fact, the Grand rarely holds such crowds, either ss regards slse or capabilities in the creation of rare and indescribable tuinulL The gallery waa a true exempt inoatioa of the audience that assemble in that part of the theater on the occasion of an engagement of "Buffalo Bill." Frevloua to the opening tbey whistled, multifariously different aud otherwise acted as only "gallery gods" can. Aftertheexhibition opened tbe crowd waa unusually genteel, and barring a few occasional outbursts, they treated the Doctor very squarely. Whether it Is trickery, or aa the medium terms it, an unaccountable Invisible power, by which he conducts biaseanee, certain It is that the various features of tbo performance were possessed of a peculiar air, partaking of suspicion and wonderment. Tbe manifestations were mostly those that have been performed by similar artists in Cincinnati and in tbe whole country, time aud time again. There have been repeated exposes, so termed, ot them, but tbe gullibility or dissatisfaction of the American makes such enter-tainmenta always attractive.

Blade has a world-wide reputation aa one of tbe shrewdest and moat graceful members of his profession, and Ills seances are noted for the neatness and cleverness with which tbe various subjects are handled. His programme varied little from all such performances, with tbe exception that It was more artistic. Some time was occupied In securing tbe Committee on Investigation, bnt finally Dr. Aiken and Messrs. Isuac Moore, Richard Mauning and McGregor acknowledged their wllllt.gn.ess to act as the Inquisitorial quartet.

Dr. Hlude dispensed with the old style of wooden cabinet. Introducing one composed of curtains. He opened with the well-worn tent of being bound by spirits In the cabinet, having the knots sealed, snd then there aa the usual ringing of bells atxt thumping of the tambourine. It is quite strange that the dear departed friends do not become tired of those musical Instruments aud strike.

For the last century they have been tn use. aud should give way toflsh-horua and harmonicas. Then came wine-and-water wherein the Doctor gave the Committee from tbe same pitcher wine and water alter. lately, plajnly showing the attendance hie power to transform water to wine, vice versa, talcing at times onl a glass of each to exemplify his capabilities' in this line. Again, he bad tbe powerful doctor of tbe Committee bind tightly his wrists with cotton Straus, and tie them behind bim.

Ue was nailed to the poet like a martyr of the inquisition lu the cabinet. Thus Urnilv stationed, the curtains were drawn and the bells rang. A pail placed in bis lap wss transferred to tho head, Jte. Two of the Committee sat separatelv in the cabinet with htm. placing their legs over hliu and holding him tightlv.

Then they averred they were touched by unseen hands, and the watch of each was removed from his pocket. Then followed examples of tbe mental abilities of the medium, the most noticeable bein that took a piece ofpaper ou which had been writteu a tiame. Then rolling it into a pellet, he placed It ou bis aud told the word within. Slates were tied together with rope, and held on one of the Committee's head, tho medium covering the ssme with his hands. Wh-n removed a message from the John Krown was fouud inscribed within.

There were several other samples of slate-writing and spiritual writing, the noticeable about them belni; the rapidity with which they were prepared. The handcuff business, so antiquated, was very neatly done, the medium, as usual, being unable to account for tbe manner in which he conld remove the aforesaid wristlets that were fastened so tightly aaout his arms. The Committee endeavored to fathom the mystery attached to the affair aa far aa deceucy could allow them, and undoubtedly were more mystified tfisn those iu front. The doc-tor explained that owing to the absence- of nis lady assistant he would be unable to do his best lu the material Iki tig leelx, but nevertheless gave his exhibition, which was received by those present iu a rather unbecoming manner, the rude ooy laughing and hallooing, greatly to the disgust ot the medium. ROBINSON'S OPXRA-HOUSR, Robinson's Opera-house was packed last evening with an audience that filled every available seat and blocked tbe aisles an au-dience that numbered at lesst two thousand souls souls that were largely skeptical when It came to belief In Spiritualism.

Tbe'gallery god wa Irrepressible during tbe and he was out In full force. As a matter of fact, be did a great deal more talking than either Professor Everett or las Nellie. His criticisms were not all delicately worded, and they wero aitued at "the spirits" quite aa often as at the nialeriailsers themselves. Tbe curiam rose at a few minutes past eight o'clock, and Inclosed a cabinet in the center of the static. 1 hat, with a couple of chairs, com priawt the only furniture to be seen.

Professor Everett, as the foot-lights were turned on, came forward, and in a few words explained the character or tue materializations. He was frank enough 10 ac knowledge that he kuew the majority of those before Inui considered him and the eotire seance a humbug. He would not pretend to dispute their right to such belief, but he wa aura they would give them Ibeir money's worth of humbug. Tbe seance waa divided into three parts, the cabinet manifestations. Miss Everett as a representative of the second sight mystery aud aenel music, and manifestations in darK.

The usual programme of choosing a 1 oinmlttee from tbe audieuce was carried out. and Ueneral De Coureey and a Mr. Thornton were induced after much persuasion to spend a few hours with tbe movers of spirits. The Ueneral wore a pair of eye-glasses, and as be reached the stage a lad in the mint tier yelled nut. "He's got speca.

he'll do." There was a hitcb about commencing, some of the audi-eree boisterously demanding that ths csbmi be removed from its loaltlon further front. Mr. Kverett replied thai he had not assistance enough to move It. and the first sqnall was avoided. Tbe cabinet performance were none of them out of the ordinary, being similar to thsse of the Davenport Brothers and their latter-day foiloweis.

These consisted in binding Mr. Kverett and placing him inside tbe cabinet, and then drawing a curtain be-fore It. "rplrit bauds" at once played the tambourine, rang a bell, and carried ou similar antics behind the drapery. During lhl tune the gods continued their screeeltus. it was evident that pints were not enough to intimidate them.

When one of these lu visible iMMttea removed Mr. Everett's coat and threw It over Into Miss Nellie's face, one of these boys. In a voice lond enough to be beard all over tho bouse, requested It 10 "take off bia breeches." Tos spirit was a modest one, and tbe request waa not granted. Mr. 'i bornlou's coat was borrowed and tbe "spirit" klndiy placed it over Mr.

Kverett, bound aa be was, Miss Nellie asked the Judge to say, "Sweet spirits, give me back my coal;" aad as be did so tbe garment went whirling over tbe top of tbe cabinet and fell at bis feet. Tbe spirits next kindly released Mr. Everett, who was Immediately after enveloped In wire frames which covered his beau and arms.

OLD-TIME POLITICS.

Legislative Divorces How a Weaaans fooled the Molons lata eruUsc Iter a Divorce Its had EadU TO TMB XOITOB Of TRB KSCOtrrSBB. The General Assembly of Ohio, oa the 13th of March, 115. passed as a local law tbe following: "Be it enscted, Ac, That the marriage contract heretofore existing between Adaline M. Parish and her husband, Dan lei Parish, be and the same Is hereby dissolved, and that the said Adaline be restored to her former name, Adaline M. Olll." Tbls law.

divorcing the parties named. Is ot interest as showing tbe msnner dlvoross were granted under the old Constitution of Obio. and the serious consequences to which It led, forming ss it does subject matter for a modern romance ot the blood and murder school, and la the subject of this sketch of old-time politics because it shows how that class of legislators were taken In and done for. In the latter part of the thirties or along In the eighteen hundred and forties there appeared In Columbus a young lady ot surpassing beauty, who, aa a seamstjwss, procured work making vests for the then heavy and fashionable merchant tailoring eclaollsument of Armstrong A McClellan. her beauty was the talk or the town: her apparent modesty was almost equal to her beauty, ttuch was Miss Adaline M.

Uill. Of course, a beautiful female forced to work for ber living was talked about. Many of the buclu about town" spoke slightingly of her virtue, but no evidence was fortlicoinlng.no Indiscretion, no one circumstance, except that she dressed better and with more taste than tbe majority of her class, and was foud ot being admired, as all women are, when strangers atop and gnze after them. An Kx-dueritr of the county, a widower, with some property and of Rood character, but old enough to be tbe father ot a grown up daughter, saw the enchantress, and fell heels over head in love with her. HU honorable wooing waa successful, and the twain were married.

The husband soon after died, and the wife became a buxom widow without losing any of her fascinating beauty. The relatives of the Ex-Sheriff, who. from the first, opposed the marriage, suspected foul play because of the sndden deatb of the husband. Deatb by poison was charged. The body was exhumed: a post-mortem examination was had.

but no signs of arsenic or other poison were discovered. This for a time slopped the mouths of the enemies of the late wife. Wltb the means from the estate of her late liusbaud she waa en a bird to dress better than before, and in her widow gear appeared more bewitching than ever. Her mother lived with her. but even this did out HtoD tliA month of palumur.

A lawyer from Northern Ohio Toledo or Cleveland visiting Columbus, saw the gay and festive aud procured an introduction as a man of means, and finally, win ning ber widowed heart, tbey wera married. This marriage was the one that was dissolved by the Legislature, and the lady restored to her maiden name. The marriage waa not a happy one. 'The fond lover, tbe gay bridegroom, in a short time became tbe jealous husband, and, being fortified with some proof of infidelity, he sought the Legislature as a means of dls-olv-U11 marriage contract. A bill to divorce Parish from his wife was introduced in the Senate by.

a Senator from Cleveland, when Mrs. fa rlsh appeared on the-scene of action. She was willing, nay, anxious, for a dissolution of the marriage contract. butCwas not willing that Parish should be divorced from her, but was anxious to gets divorce from Parish, because the one who got the divorce wss held guiltless, while the one from whom tbe divorce was got was criminal yet it left one just as free to again inarry as the other. To carry out her plan of getting a divorce, Mrs.

Parish was equal to the emergency. She relied on her beautiful face, flue form and captivating manners more than on the Justice of her cause. Khe Intimated a wish to see and form the acquaintance of a few of tbe leading members. Hhe.dld not wish to visit tbe balls of legislation, for that, under the circumstances, would be unseemly, but would bo glad to see a few of them at her mother's bouse, where she could explain mailers. Tne bait took, and soou members or Legislature, gray-beards and bald-heads among them.

called to see her to get a true statement of facts. Those who called once soon called again, and not one left but waa la love with the lovely siren, and soon called again and again. And no matter how old, how bald- beaded or snaggle-toothed the member, he believed his passion was reciprocated. A look, a glance ot the eye, or a pressure of the hsnd, would bring tbe blood np to fever-heat. No one who visited the enchantress had good cause to complain of want of attention or of kindness on her part.

Yet none could boast of an intimacy or a kindness that tho others did not enjoy, and yet not a single kiss Or aa embrace waa allowed. She was yet. sbe said, in the eyes of the law a married woman, aad as such she had never suffered herself to do aught that would be thought wrong by the most fastidious, and she be allowed to show her deep gratitude to her kind friends after tbe law bad freed her from, the husband who so grossly misused and slandered her, hut when again free she would sbow her gratitude and affection to him (meaning the member ahe was ad dressing) la a way that would prove lta sincer ity. "When 1 am divorced from Pariah not Parish from me, for that would brand me as Vila come and ae me; but until then I can not act but aa a good friend, not a loving one. Then you will find me In different situation.

ready and willing to show my gratitude. Tho bill Introduced in the Ben ate wss to divorce Pariah from bis wife. In that shape it passed tbs Senate. In tho House it was so amended aa to divorce the wife from the husband, end in the disorderly scenes attending close ot the session It was eeareely noticed; except by the friends of Mrs. Parish, the time between amending the bill and Its passage scarcely occupying two minutes.

It was sent to the Sonata, where every thing was ready for it a Speaker pro tempore In the chair the question was put, and declared carried, and Mrs. Adaline M. Parish was granted a divorce from her husband aad restored to her maiden aaaae. Most of tbe members who aided la this lertalatlea called upon the newly-made Adaline M. GUI, but none went back.

Sbe gave each and every one. of them the cold shoulder. Really, ta her pecallar situation she ooaid not receive gsntleman callers, for the neighbors already talked about It, She was vsry grateful and all that son of thing, bat they really most excuse ber, Ao. There was noma talk neat morning; of a re-eonslderaUoa of the of the bill Into a Taw. and then, after restoiinc 1 to lta normal eoadltioa, dlvweiag uo hnaband from tho wife, give the whole matter lis quietus by aa Indefinite postponement; hot finding.

Behind that part of tho publie offices occupied by tho 8 Late Library ia the second story was a nearly flat roof, on which a largo number of both sexes had chairs, immediately fronting the speakers. Toward the close of Cast and Ha mer's speeches Adaline got a seat. While Mel ville was cicala the exercises tbe saa was shin ing on the face of the speaker.

A proposition waa made to draw the sail-cloth that covered the top fit the stsnd forward, to keep tbs sua out of the eyes of the speaker. To this -Melville objected. "I prefer," ho said, "to speak in tbe full blase of beauty's light. pointing, as bespoke, to the roof of the building, where Adaline, solitary and alone, sat on a chair, tilted up against the wall ot tbe Library building. Instantly every eye waa turned, and, ss the crowd took In the situation.

It fairly roared wltb delight, and. amid hisses and jeers, Adaline made her exit through tbe window of tbe Library. After that episode she went by the nickname of "Beauty's Light" A traveling biologist, phrenologist, or something of tbe sort, by tho name of Spencer, came to Columbus about thla time. He saw Adaline. and fell in love.

He was of the New Yor Spencer family, not very distantly related, he claimed, to the famous John Spencer, one of New York's really great men. if not rich then, young Ppeneer bad great expectations, and, convinced of this. Adaline agreed to marry him. She would not do so in Columbus, because sbe hsd so promised her mother, and the marriage was consummated In another State. Tho true reason waa Ada- line was In debt, and as soon as sbe was mar ried her husband would be answerable.

That was tbe last of the fair Adaline in Ohio. Not many months after tbe newspspers were filled with account of a murder in Jersey City, opposite New York, where an outraged hnsband bad shot and killed his wife.
