Democratic Sentinel, Volume 1, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 June 1877 — Page 2

Iftßtrxafif irstimi. FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1877.

The New York Sun predicts that Grant and Piefrepont will be the straight Republican candidates for President and Vice President in 1880. Hendricks and Hampton, as the Democratic candidates ior President and Vice President in 1880, would make a winning ticket. Red Sitting Bull is repor ed a sa'» ou Canadian soil. Indiana's crippied fitting Bull is reported enroutb to Oregon where it is supposed he will interview aud admire Cronin’s uose, John J.J’attersOn, the sample radical senator from South Curolina, who dare not go home except under “priv ilege," is getting into still deeper watcr. That long-suffering people are ntioutto inquire into the means chosen by John to get there. This was undertaken once before, but under widely different circumstam es, when he held and owned the .legislature, sub jeet to Grant and Cameron. An investigation then was a farce.

.The Rensselaer Sentinel takes two and a half columns of space to show ? Imt the Union of that place is arepublican paper, basing its remarks upon the comments of the latter paper upon the letter of Senator Mor- i ton. Aud the Union never denied it, Delphi News. A few weeks since the Union occupied two or three columns of space tb explain that it was wot. a republicnn\ but an independent paper. And ij seems our friend Al. never read it. ft J ! _ __ ___ “Raw-head and bloody-bones” stories have been manufactured against tlie south, by the radicals, and circulated north, but Hayes will not accept and profit by them. The latest is to the effect that an ambitious little • nigger” sought admission to practice law in the courts of South Carolina, and was refused (for lack of qualification, if there was anything of the kind occurred at all); and radicals are shedding copious showers of crocodile tears over it. Hayes, however proposes to stick to his agreement with certain Democratic Congressmen—"to enforce the Tilden, or Democratic .Southern policy, if ullow to be peaceably inaugurated.” There is a howl in Africa, judging from the tone of the radical press.

On Tuesday morning last the engineer of the morning train north on the Louisville,New Albany & Chicago railroad, when near Reynolds station, • liscoverod something on the track, and stopped his train, to lind a man. s : ill alive but unconscious, lying on t lie track. A ghastly cut on the throat and extending under the - ear and a fractured skull served to indicate too plainly that he had been beaten, robbed, and placed on tire track, in expectation that some train would run over him and so mutilate him as to lefaee all evidence of the murder, iHs pocket-book was emptied. He was brought to Reynolds station, and soon after expired. Upon investigation, his name was found to be Tate, a bricklayer by trade, aud formerly a resident of Lafayettee, an honest, iu-> dustrious man. There is no clue to the assassins. The ground near where lie was found showed evidence of a fearful struggle for life. Since the above wus put in type we tied the following in the Moutieello Herald, which gives a different.shade to the affair;

“A man named Thomas Tate was Sound Monday night in a dying eon dition a short distance south of Reynolds, at the side of the L. N. A. & C. milroad. He was taken to Brookstou -aid placeddn the depot at that place where he died about fifteen minutes afterwards. Coroner Yopst was notified and impanelled a jury who returned a verdict of “killed by the ears.” A pocket-book containing about SSO was found on his person. He was known to be intemperate, and it is supposed he was intoxicated ut the time of the accident. Ho had been in the employ of Mr. H. M. Wheeler, near Reynolds, from whom lie had just received several mouths 1 wages.”

Death of two Prominent Citizens of Indiana.

On Sunday last, Hon. John Pettit, one of the late Judges of the Supreme Court of Indiana, died at his residence im Lafayette, agey nearly “three score years and ten.” He filled a larger number of public offices than fall to the lot of most men. He had filled acceptably the offices of Mayor. Legislator, member of Congress, delegate to the Constitutional Convention, U. S. Senator, Federal Judge, Circuit Judge and Supreme Judge. On the same day, at his residence, in Logansport, late United States Senator Pratt departed this life, very suddenly, These eminent men fill a large space in the history of the State, and their memories will long be cherished by the psopl© thereof.

Railroad Meeting at Rowell.

“Obsebvbb,” a Lowell correspondent of the Crown Point Star writes: “The citizens of Lowell and viciuity on Monday last were addressed by John D. Lee, President of the I. D. & C. Railroad Company. Although but two hours’ notice was given, quite a respectable audience gathered in Hale’s Hall to hear Mr. Lee discuss xlie problem of railroad or no railroad. He seems confident that the road can be built if the people along the line co-operate with him and furnish local aid, and by that means save what has already been expended., Mr. Lee is f imiliar with railroad building, having built several in this State, and knows what he is talking about. His remarks were listened to with great intention. At the close of the meeting a committee was appointed to confer with the people and asc ertain what could be done. Mr. Lee has been holding meetings at Mouticclio, Rensselaer and other

points along the line and has every- ■ where found the people eager for the completion of the road. He passed over the line from here to Dyer in company with Messrs. Halstead and Boney, to look over the work that has been done, and thence to Chicago to coafer with railroad men in that oky.

'Old Liberty Bell.”

The Bell Whose Somid Went Bound t the If vrld. HISTORY OF THE OLD LIBERTY BELL, Which was Hung upon the Declaration of Independence, 1776. Cast in England for the State House in Philadelphia, in 1751. Cracked by a stroke of the clapper, before being prooerly hung in 1752. Recast, and hung in the tower of Independence Hull, Juae, 1753. “Proclaimed liberty throughout all the land,” at noon, Monday, July Bth, 1776 (not July 4th.) Remoyed to Allentown, Pa., by the American troops, when they evacuated Philadelphia, to prevent its being cast into cannon by the British in 1777. Restored to its original position at the close of the Revolution, where ito remained until 1828. Broken while ringing out a firealarm one murky morning in the fall of 1828. Placed on the original timbers, in the vestibule of Independence Hall, in 1872, where it can now be seen.

Optical Delusions.

Years ago, when we went to school in a lit tle weather-beaten schoolhouse, what exciting contesis there used to be over the teaciier’s favorite exercise of having the scholars estimate with the eye, the size and weights of different objects in the room. He would hold up his cane, and have each one tell how long he thought it was, and it was a lucky child came within half a foot of the right length. He would measure an urchin, and then have the scholars try to reproduce the measure on the wall. He would mark off an inch, or a foot, or a yard, in some conspicuous place, and then se i how near anybody could come to chalking the same length on the blackboard. And it was astonishing how wide astray one would go. The f act is. our eyes deceive us ridiculously, even upon the commonest things. At first thought, which wo’d you say was the tallest, a three-year-old child or a floor barrpl? and could you believe that the same child is half as high as a six-footer? There is an

old saying that a two-year-old child is half as high as h© ever will be; and after a few experiments in measuring, one can easily believe it, but not before. Mlffiintown, Pa., has a cornet band composed of 13-year-old boys. Rev. McGhee, the wife poisoner of Illinois, has been let off with fourteen years in thejienitentiary. A son of the late Francis P. Blair, | jr., will graduate at West Point this year, ranking twelve in a class of sev- > enty-6even. Brigham Young might as well pre- ! pare to tramj). The idlers of the government want employment and gain. Utah offers both. Strange they can not see a man in London wearing a high-standing collar and a big diamond-pin without j saying, “There goes an American for- , Probably the reason Hayes postponed the extra session of Congress i from June to the loth of October, was from a consideration of the fact of Mr. Blaine’s liability to sunstroke duj ring the hot season. I Clara Morris does not pronounce | Boston language correctly, and all ! the Hub newspapers are saying; j “Good Ged! me cnawmiug creeehah, can’t you get the accent, somehow or j any whither?” j A telegram from San Jose, California, to the Sacramento Union, says I that a jury has broughtln a veidict i for $27,500 in a suit of breach of promise of marriage against Gen. Henry M. Nagle, formerly of Philadelphia. A negro named Tommy was hanged at Atlanta Georgia, ou Friday of week before last, for first outraging and then murdering a woman. On the scaffold he said; “I dread not death. Jesus is with me. Jesus has made imy yoke easy to bear. I will soon be ;at rest forever. I have notning more :to say.” The Cleveland Plain Dealer nervously remarks that if t. ese people turn out as well as they think they will, decent people, by and by, will be afraid to die ! A recent census of Altoona, Pa., shows a population of 16,954. an increase of 1,625 since the last census | in 1875. The Edgar Thompson steel works, in Allegheny county, Pa., have contracted to furnish 3,000 tens of steel rails for the Union Pacific railroad. The mother of Judge Milton, Kittaning, Pa., is 104 years old. Her hair which has been for a long time purely white, has been In the last two years gradually darkening, until now it is as black as ever.

The loss sustained by him in tftis single operation would have paid for a paper for 43 years.

A Blue Dress Cure.— A young man in Dubuque, lowa, went on a recent Saturday' to a country dance and did not return to his home uc til the church bells were ringing next morning. His father told him he must go to meeting, and lie went. Before the minister had finished the opening prayer the young reveler was sound asleep, and dreaming of the dance. An old lady who sat next to him touched his hand to arouse him, whereupon he seized her wrist and shouted: “All join hands and circle to the left.— Swing the girl with the blue dress. A Huge Snake Killed by a Toad. (Tuolumne Union-Democrat.) A party of trout-fishers camping near Lyons’ dam, a few days ago, wit nessed a very novel incident. A huge rattlesnakejwas attemptingto swallow a diminutive horned toad, and seemed likely to succeed if given sufficient time. The hind legs of the toad protruded from the saliva-flecked jaws of* the snake, and were occasionally agitated with a convulsive movement, as if the little animal was impatient of the delay in going down the reptile’s throat. Justus the legs were disappearing, the body of the snake, just bohind its head, began to swell. Its eyes began to bulge, aud its spirits i seemed troubled. The parties watch- I ing the process of mastication then became aware that the plucky little i toad had got tired fooling around in a rattlesnake’s jaws and wanted to get j out. The swelling continued and the snake squirmed until the four little horns which form the crest of the toad’s back burst through the scales of the snake. The snake floundered and wriggled in agony until he was ' dead, when the toad withdrew from the jayrs and quietly hopped away.

No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of G oods FOR THE Spring and Summer trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose DURABILITY and PRICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States.
