In connection wlth^tli© doihplfcini of the Populltes of taxes, "ifiiififr Ify th* Stale want to call the especial attention of old rebel soldier* to the following extract from the CHAW*ORDSVILI.B JODKNAI.
(Kep.), of Craw-
lordsvllle, Indiana, viz: Cant. H. H. Talbot has reselveda letter fro ju Uie Major of his old regiimmW Uie^lta Ken-, lucky Cavalry, In which he I w'sh when the Kncamjpment meetoloq.-wouW bring to the attention of thatbody of true .and loyal old soldiers so thaMt ioair be* bro»«M'"befOT« the country that all the Southern. Etatjim with the exception of Kentucky, are. no» gnslon-
in* their Rebel sddleto"««l fcaw Soldlers Homes, and that the e*-d*i*lBoldlers, and Union men are taxed to paythese pensions. The North. I-amsnre, don't
rknoW"thlil.
The
Democratic rebels are always bowl Inir about a Union soldier reoelvlng a pension. The tax for this Is uot-a direct tax, while the tax to Day Uebel pensions is ft direct Ux and comes out of the pockets of ttfe people.' Hits* lact should be given ttrtheuounST'
Gov. Jonee approved a bUl giving old Confederate soldiers a pension not. exceeding 150 per annum, and this only to those whose taxable property was less than t000 or whose salary or annual income was less than I-100 i«r year. This Is the only thing that Gov. Jones lias done that Increases the tuxes above the ordinary expenses of the government and this only 5 cents on every hundred' dollars' worth of taxable property.
Still Populltes. even Confederates who have since deeerted the Democratic faith, "howl" at Jonea and the Democratic party even for this.
The Democrat does not hesitate to say that the good people of Marshall county would today vote l'or a measure increasing taxation to be properly expended In care for the old Confederate soldiers, that not an honest soul hi the bounds of the county would wish to take one cent from a needy soldier of either side.
In tbe article copied above the desire Is that the attention of the country be called to the fact that taxes are levied directly for the payment of Confederate pensions and only Indirect for federal pensions, the people of the South ask what Is the dlflerence when it la taxes just the same?
In the case put by Mr. Talbot he admits that it is taxes but not direct taxes we of the South would like to know what tbe difference is whether director indirect, we know we pay federal tax for pensions we are willing to continue to psy it If It la an honest pension, but we do object to the payment of pensions undeserving aud dishonestly obtained a* you suggest. We have our own needy soldiers to nay a pension an 1 we can't pension tbe soldiers of both armies and keep up our own families, unless you pension only the needy and distressed.
There are Populists in this county opposed to paying the Stats taxes levied for the old Confederates and there are old torles and breakfetice Federal soldiers of the same opinion, but none of the good people—not one.
We want to calL the country's attention to the fact that while the South is taxed to pay pensions for soldiers in the North, that but lew Northern men are-in tbe South to help us pay our Southern soldiers pensions and those that are here are out balanced Vy South* ernerssttbe North. Besides this, the men from the North who are residents of this sec tloo Join freely in the payment ot their share of the taxation for needy Confedemies and vote for the most liberal provisions proposed, condemning robbery by Northern pensioners, as heartily as tbe most rabid southerner.
THE JOURNAL IS mistaken in the feeling of Southern people. We are only opposed to robbery, whether in the form of tariff taxes, demonetization of silver fraudulant pension or highway proceedings. Guiifersrttte, Ala. ljemocrat.
We copy the above merely to show our readers the plea ot tbe Southern Democrat for levying a direct tax to pay pensions to ex-Confederate soldiers. A tax of "only five cents on every hundred dollars worth of taxable property" levied in Alabama to pay tbsae pensions. If a tax of only five cents was levied In Indiana to pay the .Union soldiers the Hooeier Democrats would "raise a howl louder than the "Populites and Con fed erutee who have deaerted the Democratio faith" in Alabama. There's quite a difference between direct taxes and so called indirect taxes. Direct taxes oome directly out of the pockets of the peo pis as for instance the pension tax in Alabama. The alleged indirect tax is paid by no person in Alabama, unless he ia a consumer of spiritous liquors or to lueco when poseibly he assists in rais ing the $72,000,000 pf,internal. revenue. But this is not compulsory,. aa neither distilled spirits nor tobaooo are necessities. Neither does he pay.any of tbe $25,000,000 raised by the duty, pn iron and steel, as neither iron nor steel have been increased in price. But on. the.. other, ind it ha9 been lowered^ in prioe by .the development of the industry in the good State ot Alabama. In oonaequenoe of the tariff that State ia muoh better off by far than it would have been without the tariff. The aame is true of the $12,000,000.duties, desired from cotton manufacturers. Tbe Democrat knows that cotton goods are no higher-beoaose of the tariff. Likawiae U»e $lO,QOO.OO0 derived from flax and hemj^ largely, a
Southern production. Imported wines and liquors paj about $9,QO0,(K)0. Tbe domestic article oertainly is good enough for the editor of the Democrat, henoe neither he nor any other Alabamian compelled to sip the sparkling.Ht. Julian. From silk manufacturers $20,000,000. is derived. And everybody knows that silks have been lowered in prioe since factoriea were established in the
United Statee. Besidse the misses of Alabama ore not in tha habit of wearing silks. And thus we could run down through the list ot $395,000,000 derived from the so called indirect taxes, ""l not one dollar of all this vast sum was collected upon the plea of meeting pen
aion pay men to. Every dollar of it was gathered in persuanoe of a well Bettled polioy (or the promotion or some great material interest in the prosperity of whioh the work, wages and livelihood of thousands and the development^ of the whole oountry is directly involved.
As an aot of alms lhe Southern States are justifiable in levying taxas to pension tbe Confederate soldiers, just as all States ievy taxes tor the maintenance of their pauper poor. Bat the pensions granted to the soldiers of the Republic are based upon the principles of eternal justice. They are the payments by the Government of its just obligations to the men who saved the Nation's^ life in tbe day of ita deadly peril. Planing the men who preserved the Nation on: an equality with the men who soag^t to destroy it, in the matter of pet^ons, ia an apt that will never be tolerated wliij% theBepublio a

An A/iaooa.bank pat, out a notioe Wading: "Thisbank hos not busted it owes the people $36,000 and the people owe it $55,000. The people are basted when tjiey pay we'll pay." And there is a good deal of financial wisdom in the notice.
IT has been definitely, deoided by the World's Fair directors to close the Fair on Ootober 31. About six weeks remains for the people to see the greatest show that haa been on the earth.
HOW THE BUFFALOES DIED. IB« Tkc Ttrrlklt Destructive Methods ef 41M Hunters.
A story teller of half a century ago ^ave an-account of a terrible method which the Indiana used In destroying the buffalo, and one which must have been the means of snuffing out an incalculable number of lives.
The red hunters, he said, were wont to lie concealed in the vicinity of some high precipice, and when a herd of bisons came roaming thither in search ot food they would send one or two braves oat among them, concealed in the effigy of a buffalo and covered with its head, hide and horns. The false buffalo being stationed between the herd and the precipice, the Indiana would 6urround the herd, as nearly as possible, and then rush from their concealment shouting like demons. The animals being alar.med, and seeing no way open but in the direction of the false buffalo, would run toward it, and the false buffalo moving 'quickly to the edge of the cliff 'went over, but by some preconceived arrangement took refuge in a cave, cleft or shell The leaders of the herd would pause on the brink, seeing death before them but those behind could not see the abyss, and would press madly forward, so that those In front were forced to leap to the rocky ground hundreds of feet below, while those behind, were goaded forward by the hunters until they became mad with fear, and followed In to the s&me end. The Indians then selected as much meat as they wished and left the rest to the wolves.
THC FIRST LIQHTNINQ ROD.
It Was Mot IimM by Bnjusls Fruk lis Aa Most People Believe, Almost everybody believes that Franklin was the inventor of the lightning rod and, in this one particular,' nearly, everybody is mistaken. The lightning conductor was not invented by the genius who is saldv,to haye ."caught the lightning wild anc( played with bolts of thunder," but. by, a poor Bohemian monk, ,wfio.lived at ...
catcher on the palace of the curator of Prediti, Moravia, on June, IB, 175*1 Thie name of this Inventive monk was Prohop Dilwisch. Bis. apparatus was composed of a pole surmounted by an Iron rod supporting twelve curved, branches and terminating in as many, metallic boxes filled with iron ore .and inclosed with, a wooden box-like cover," This was traversed by twenty-seven, iron-pointed rods, the. bases of which were connected with the ore boxes. This entire .system of wires was united with the earth by a large.,chain.
The eneinies.of Dilwisch, jealous of hla success, excited -the peasants,of .the neighborhood against' him, claiming that yjj invention was the gause of the dry weather that was ruining.„their. crops. When the inventor laughed, at them and refused to remove it they, put hlm,ln prison and then destroyed his. work.
M. Mels^n used a triple-pointed rot years, before Benjamin. Frankllii ever thought of a lightning .rod.
"G«tUOK lnto a Scr«p^.t'
The red and fallow deer whlch formerly.roamed throngh.the English forests hada habit of scrapings up. the earth vlth their forefeet to -the-, depth of several Inches, sometimes .even of half .a yard.. The stranger ^passing through these woods was frequently exposed to, the danger, of tumbling int6 one of the hollows, when he might be said,truly, to be "in a rape." The college students of Cambridge, In their: little perplexities, picked up and applied the phrase to other perplexing matters which had brought I morally into a fix.

Things Worth Bemembertng. When you feel a kind of goneness about the stomach it is a sign that your blood does not sit well and that you are about to have a.fitof Indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and are unable to sit still comfortably when your clothes suddenly seem to'lose their fit and become too tight in places tbe fit of indiges Hon'is surely upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is repeated from day to day it finally resolves itself rata dyspepsia.
Remember that from three to ten of Brandreth's Pills will cure tbe worst case ol-indigestion or dyspepsia, or both, and tifot a regular course ol them, say two or three every night for a week or ten days, will act as a preventive of cither complaint.
