"Over the Hill to the Poor House." The career of some men in the .struggle and battle of life oftimes presents features of sadness and reflection. Wm. Watts, the old drayman, is an example of this kind. This week he laid down the burdens lie has bonn for years, and went to the Montgomery county poor asylum, there to remain probably the remainder of his days. Watts is an old citizen of Crawfordsville, has resided hero many long years, and has generally been a very industrious man. At one time he was a man of standing aud influence in th3 community and was for some years marshal of the town. But misfortune of different kinds in the way ot domestic trouble, also at timus himself given to the use of intoxicants, brcugbt him down, down, until'the poor asylum, the last stopping place with many between life and the ceme tery, has completed almost the journey of llf with him. One half of the world, it lias beeu said, knows nothing about the life the other half leads, and when, perchance, a small portion of it is revealed the astonishment and sadness iB great With many life is a continual struggle to keep above the waves, while with others It is always smooth sailing. Life has had few sweets in it to the old drayman. There were few bright flowers along his pathway. The world knew him not and cared tot for him, and pitied him not in his troubles. The old man is deserving of a better resting place in his old days than a poor asylum, but no one perhaps will interest himself enough to find it for him, and there he must remain until called hence.

Mr. C. has been a resident of Montgomery county too long and is too well known to have public feeling arrayed against him on so preposterous a charge. The young couple in question have been invited to return to the parents' roof and the fatted calf will soon be sacrificed and fed to the prodigals. So endeth the first chapter. ......

Passage From the Life ot James A. Mount.

CONVICTED OF SLANDERING A SOLDIERS' WIFE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

A Story at Variance With His Professions at Present. In 1875 there lived in Franklin township, near Shannondaie, a veteran of the late civil war named W. H. Endicott Mr. Endicott had gone to the front when his country called, and bared bis breast to the storm of rebel bullets. He escaped injury until the opposing forces met in battle upon the bloody field of Chicamauga. There he was wounded. From that day he was unable to labor, and became a pensioner on the kindness of his neighbors for the necessaries of life. These were the days when a pension could not be procured on account of ingrowing toe nails and lost teeth, from the coffers of a generous government, and more generous politicians in the hallB of congress, who were bidding for the soldier vote. This wounded man had a wife and four helpless children, and at the wash tub she toiled day by day to procure for them their clothes and victuals to sustain life.

This woman was also an advocate ot temperance and a worker in the lodge at Shannondaie, in which James A. Mount, now the republican candidate for congress, was a prominent worker, then, as now, endeavoring to ride upon tha top wave, which then was temperance, now relief for the overburdened, overtaxed farmer. By and by came off the election of officers for tho lodge and Mrs. Maiy F. Endicott, the invalid soldier's wife, was candidate for the position of vice Templar. A lady relative of JameB A. Mount was also a candidate for the same position and before a vote was taken Mount made a speech in which he called attention to the fact that as there were several candidates, it was the duty of the lodge to see to it that only the best people were elected, and his speech pointed strongly to the idea that his lady relative was much better than was the wife of the destitute veteran opposed to her. This caused a revolution of feeling in the lodge and Mrs. Endicott was elected by an overwhelming majority.

Mount being thnsset upon and flattened out, sought revenge by the circulation of stories in reference to the character of Mrs. Endicott When these came to her notice she fastened them where they belonged, on James A. Mount, and employing Kennedy and Brush she called him to appear in the circuit court to answer to the charge of slander.

The case appears on record as No. 2,401, under the title of "Mary Endicott et al. vs. .James A. Mount, slander." The record can be found by inquiring friends or enemies on order book No. J.7, pages 501, 553 and 579, and on order book No. 18, page 161, where it was finally disposed of by a verdict in favor of Mary F. Endicott, giving her $250 damages, on her complaint for slander, and fastening the costs of the suit on James A. Mount. The record also appears on fee book No. 7, page 84. The case was disposed of at the November term of the Montgomory circuit court, 1875, and all the papers therein are on file, or should be in the office of the clerk of the circuit court

This is pretty salty in view of the fact that James A. Mount is now the outspoken friend of the soldier, for votes. One would not imagine that he was ever guilty of slandering the wife of a comrade and was convicted of the same in the circuit court and forced to pay $250 and costs for indulging in pestiferous tongue wagging, such as is indulged only by those who are very, very small men, so small indeed that their consciences would rattle in a poppy seed.

FROM TIME TO ETERNITY.

Death of Ephraim Joel on Sunday Evening Last. Ephraim Joel, one of our most prominent citizens, died on Sunday night last after an illness of about two weeks. Mr. Joel had all his life been of rubust health and it was for a number of days supposed that he would over come the attack of typhoid fever, from the strong constitution which had supported him, but all hopes were ueeless, as from the first he continued to grow weaker until death finally carried him off.

Mr. Joel was the third in.a famiiy of seven children and he was the hrst of them to meet the dread conqueror.He was bom in Lafayette in May 1849, and at the age of 11 years, came with the family to Crawfordsville and in a few years after entered with his rather in the clothing business. Nearly twenty years ago he began business alone and has ever since continued in it By his death Crawfordsville loses one of her best business men. Mr. Joel has always identified himself with the best interests of the city, lending not only his labors but giving freely of his money towards anything that would benefit his little city, which was his pride. He was married on January 7, 1885, to Miss Essie Daum, of Peoria 111., and one bright little girl Fannie, cane to bless them. Possibly no death ever occured in the city that caused the universal grief as that of Eph Joel. A pall of grief seemed to settle over the entire city. Surrounded by a loving family, bleessed with a beautiful home and happy with the richest gifts of this life he falls a victim in his early manhood. Truly death loves a shining mark. After short services at the houBe the remains were born on Wednesday to the home of his parents in Buffalo, N. Y., where the interment took place.
