Democracy and Temperance.

under the above caption appears an article in the Rensselaer, Union of last week, intended as a criticism of the speech of Hon. John Lee at the Temperance Union at their last meeting. But the anirnous of the communication shows that the writer was a narrow minded bigot, who is unable to raise himself above the low and grovling instincts of the average radical hypocrite who assays to attribute to himself and his party all the honesty, virtue, intelligence and temperance in the land. Out upon such would be defenders of the temperance cause. One such speech as that delivered by Mr. Lee will do more foi the causa of temperance and moral reformation than a thousand such scribblers as “Interested Listener.” Mr. Lee is an intelligent earnest advocate of the temperance cause, because it is right; not for political or partizan effect, but for the good of all parties and all people. Hon. S. P. Thompson, of Rensselaer, is mentioned as a candidate for State Senator for this district. “OurSlmon" would make an able representative.— Orford Tribune. Then trot him out! And we predict * “ajor-ity against him in October nen that wdl make him doubt his identity. —Rensselaer Democratic Sentinel, You are badly mistaken Bro. McEwen. No (Geo.) Major-ity would b ® able t 0 Wllx Our Simon. The republicans elected Mr. Majors State Senator once, but they are too wise to do so again. We don’t want any Trihurie * * Inen lh ‘ B time ’~ Ox f°rd n Tribune suggests Simon P. Ihompson of Rensselaer for nominal.on by the republicans for State Senator from this (the 24th) district. IT nominated no democrat outside of lophet can beat him; and if elected any man who gambles may safely bet bls a <Jo . l,ar that Hou. Daniel W. oorhees will not be returned to the United States Senate by the help of vote ‘, a Senator Mr. Thompson would be a credit to the district. —Rensselaer Union. So far so good, then. Let the “Tophetites” bring forth their favorite, Thompson, and pit him against the Democrat or Independent that may be selected to oppose him. Trot him out, and we predict his defeat by a majority that will increase the uproar in Topet. And amongst the most uproarious will be the managers o tie Oxford Tribune and Rensselaer union. It has lately been discovered by the Valparaiso Messenger, Monticello Demociat and the Rensselaer Democratic Sentinel tnat the Union is not an advocate of the doctrines of the communistic democracy. It was thought that an idea of thia kind would penetrate their pachydermatous intellects before the campaign ended, but not that it would get through so soon, though truth .is “powerful aarchin*" at times. The Union is an independent paper for a fact—only $1 a year.— Rensselaer Union. Oh, no, Brother James, we have nothing in your journalistic course beyond the fact that ycu pretend to independence, when in reality you are most servile in yonr devotion to

radicalism; you profess sympathy for the toiling people, while you are most obsequious and fawning to the money power, fraud, Hayes and all. The idea that what you may be before, the campaign is ended will not penetrate a “pachydermatous” or any other kind of intellect. You may proclaim that “the Union is an independent paper for a fact—only $1 a year,” or, “only a quarter for three months,” but it only proves the general conclusion of those who know best—that you are not, in fact, independent—that “only $1 a year” is too cheap for a good reliable paper.

The Road of the Future.

w ßy this we mean narrow gauge ■ o ids generally, but more particularly he Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago n «rrow gauge, now completed and r nning from Bradford to Rensselaer, r e general impression among per3'ius who have never seen a narrow gauge is, that they are a kind of onehorse make shifts, not to be thought of, except where it is utterly impossible to build the standard gauge. This was the delusion under which we labored until last week, when it was agreeably and completely dispelled by taking a trip over the new road. It was in fact more than dispelled, for when the standard gauge was reached on the return trip, it struck u> as being a good deal than was nece ’ sary for all practical purposes. Inasmuch as the new road is a Jasp< r county enterprise, calculated togrea » ly increase its population and taxable wealth, a short description of it will no doubt be interesting to our readera. The track, rails and cars are about one-third narrower and smaller than those used on the standard gauge. The engine weighs 18 ton , an i is consequently nearly as heavy as the others, which it resembles In every particular, excepting its driveis are much smaller. The new coach s<ati comfortably 36 to 40 persons, and is a perfect gem of decorative art and upholster. The marshy charac ter of the country, and the rush with which the road was built, together with the mild rainy weather, preclude the possibility of making a very solid and smooth track; but the construction train and a body of laborers are kept busy filling in and ballasting, and in a few weeks it will be in as good condition as any track. But in the mean time, the cars glide along on its continuous rail at the usual rate of speed, giving no hint that is only about three months since the road was commenced, and only one since it was completed. The road is-doirg a profitable business; paying expenses and a fair interest on its cost. Work will be commenced at once at Bradford, and by July Ist the line will be completed to Delphi; after which it will be pushed west of Rensselaer towards Chicago as fast as possible. The intention is to make it a through line for the transportation of grain, coal, lumber and passengers, and not a mere feeder as some people suppose. The gentlemen who have the work in hand know how to make progress, and have unbounded faith in the final completion of the road. We wish them all the success that their enterprise and astonishing energy deserves. —Remington Times'

Correspondence.

Idaville, in White county,/six jniles east of the county seat, on the P., C. & St. L. R. R., is a thriving village of about 500 inhabitants. It is surrounded by a good country and consequently a large amount of business is transacted. It has four churches and a commodious school house with three departments. All branches of business demanded in a country town are carried on, and hard as times have been, no failures have yet occurred. The passage of the silver bill has produced no marked effect as yet among our people; nor has the National party effected an organization here yet. At the township election the democrats elected the trustee and justice by over fifty majority, while the republicans carried the assessor by sixteen majority. D. McConahay (Buckwheat Dave) was elected trustee. The wheat crop in this part of the country never looked better than now, and it gives promise of an abundant harvest. Farmers have commenced plowing, though the ground is yet wet and cold. Mikros. Congressman Kelly, of Pa., in a recent »peech in Congress upon resumption of specie payment, said: '‘Coming down to the question of specie resumption, he said that with sixty-five millions of gold in the treasury, with none in the hands of the people, and with seven hundred million to be redeemed, the proposition was a measure of iusanity. It was a propositionthe enforcement of which was driving the people to pauperism, to lunacy and to suicide, and was creating a moneyed oligirchy, whose wealth compared with that of the body of the people would be greater than that of the moneyed oligarchy of England. “The silver bill was an act of justi ee not of relief Its good influence cannot be telt appreciably until restored confidence will justify an enlarg - ment of the circulation of moneyan e d credit. Bonds have not fallen nor gold risen since its passage over the President’s impotent veto. Its enemies have been confounded by experience, and so, too, will its friends be if the resumption act be permitted o disgrace our statute books.” The new United States Senator from Indiana, Daniel W. Voorhees, is considered one of the foremost criminal lawers of the Northwest, and a very attractive popular speaker. He is six feet one inch tall, and weighs about 200 pounds. He is called the ‘Tall Sycamore of the Wabash;’ has a large head, large face, large shoulders, and a large heart. He wears a mouth-muzzling style of beard, like the late Charles Dickens. His head is well thatched with a heavy coat.of dark red hair; eyes, hair and beard seem to be all of the same hue. He usually has a sombre, thoughtful look, and as he sits in the Senate, or whereever he is seen, at once attracts attention.—Harper’s Weekly.

Killed by a Bear.

[Chippewa Herald.] A citizen was near Lac Court O’Reilles, Wis., looking up some land, and while passirg down an old logging road leading to the lake, came upon the carcass of a large black bear lying in the road. Upon examining it he discovered several wounds upon the head and body, as if made by a knife. Continuing his journey a few rods from the bear he found the body of an Indian, mangled and torn in a most horrible manner, lying a Jrtrle to one side of the road. One side of the fa<’e was completely

torn off, and the body stripped of most of its clothing, being lacerated in a frightful manner. The ground for some distance around nad the appearance of a terrible struggle. Near the old Indian was a rifle barrel covered with blood and hair, the stock broken off and lying in several pieces upon the ground. He evidently fired one shot, and before having time to reload, the bear had grappled him. In his right hand had a large bowieknife, which probably was his last weapon of defense, and the instrument that had det It the fatal blow.

Advice for TWentv-Five Cents.

[Concord Patriot.] A young man in Dover, N. H., saw an advertisement in a New Yonc paper which read thus: “Any one sending us twenty-five cents will receive in return something which will be of immense value to him.” He sent, and received in leply this: “Don’t be such a fool as to send your money to us again, but keep it in your pocket.”

[By Request.] The Lips that Touch Wine Shall Never Touch MiqeAlice Lee stood waiting her lover one night. Her cheeks dashed and glowing, her eyes full of light ; She had placed a sweet rose 'mid her bright flowing hair. No flower of the forest e'er looked half so fair As she did that night as she stood by the door Of the cot where she dwelt by the aide of the moor. Her lover bad promised to take her a walk. And she built all her hopes on a long pleasant talk; But the daylight was fading, and also, I ween, Her temper was failing, 'twas plain to be seen, For now she would stand still, then a tune she would hum. And impatiently mutter, “I wi.-h he would come.” “You may say what you like, 'tie not pleasant to wait. And William has oft kept me waiting of late; I know where he stays, 'tis easy to tel). He spends many an hour at the' si<ni of the Bell; I wish he would keep from such places awav; Hie rakish companions do lead him estray.'* She heard a quick step and her yon ng heart beat fast, Ae she said. “I am glad he is coming at last.;” But it was only a neighbor who hastened to speak, Aa he marked the quick flush ou the voting maiden's cheek; And his aged eye twinkled with pleasure and glee As he merrily said, “So you’re waiting I see. “Now don’t think at all I'm intending to blame. For love ought ne'er be a subject of shame; But 1 tell you to warn you, I fancy my lass, Young William is getting too foil'd of the glass; And oh! if you wish for the love that endures. Say, the lips that touch wiue shall uever touch yours.” He went on his way, but the truth he'd impressed Took root, aud sank deep iu the fair maiden's breast. And strange things she could scarce account for before. Now appeared quite plain as she pondered them o’er. She then said, with a look of deep sorrow and fright, ‘•I really believe the old man is right. “When William next comes I wili soon let him know lie must give up the liquor or else he must go; ’Twill be a good chance, I've no doubt, to prove If he's really since re in his vows of deep love. He must give up at once, and forever, the wine, For the lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine.” She heard a quick step coming over the moor. And a merry voice which she oft heard before. And ere she could speak a warm arm held her fast. And manly voice whispered, “I've come, love, nt last, But I know you'll forgive me. then give me a kiss. I’m sorry that I've kept you waiting like this." But shit shook the bright curls on her beautiful head. And she drew herself up, while quite proudly she said: ji ‘•Now. William. TH prove if you really are true, For yon say that yon love me. I don't think you do! If really you love me you must give up the’ wine. For the lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine.” He looked quite amazed. “Why. Alice, ’tis clear You really are getting quite jealous, my dear.” “In. that you are right,’ she replied, "for I sec You’ll soon love the liquor far better than me; I'm jealous, I own, of the poisonous wine. For the lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine.” He turned then quite angry, “Cbnfound it." he said, “What nonsense you've got in your dear little head. But Til see If I cannot remove it from thence. She said, “ ’Tis not nonsense, 'tis sound common sense, And I mean what I sav. and this you will find— I don’t often change when I’ve made up my mind.” He stood all irresolute, angry, perplexed. She never before saw him look half so vexed. Bter she said, “if he talks all his life I won’t flinch." And he talked, but he never could move her an Inch, He then cried with a look and a groau, "Oh! Alice, your heart is as hard as a stone!" But though her heart beat in his favor quite loud. She still firmly kept up the vow she hail vowed; And at last, without even a tear or a sigh. She said. I am going, so William, good-bye." j “Nay. stop.” he then said, "I’ll choose one of the two. I'll give up the liquor in favor of you." .

Attacked by an Eagle.

[Shreveport Times.] Recently United States deputy marshal Dewing and a party went up the river to investigate the cutting of logs from the public lands. On Black Lake they discovered an immense eagle’s n?st in the topmost branches of a large tree, and commenced cutting the tree down. There was a young eagle in the nest, and when the cutting commenced the parent birds made hostile demonstrations, swooping down upon the party. The female was shot and killed. The wing of the male was broken by a shot, and he was captured after falling in the water. He was with considerable difficulty taken into the boat, knocking one of the men in the boat overboard by’ a stroke of his wing. The young bird was killed by the falling of the tree. The nest was twelve feet in diameter, and was constructed of at least three quarters of a cord of wood, some of the pieces being four feet long and as large around as a man’s leg. The male was brought down alive. It measures seven feet and two inches from tip to tip.

We have just received a copy of a Potpourri, containing all the popular airs from the new opera called tia ‘‘Chimes of Normandy,” splendidly arranged for the piano, by Charlie Baker, the cdebrated American Composer. No doubt our friends and readers who have had the pleasure of hearing this superb new opera can not fail to remember the beautiful melodies contained therein. AU these have been nicely arranged for Piano or Organ. So popular is this composition that the publisher was compelled to make two sets of plates, in order to supply tße demand. Every person who is in possession of a piano or an organ should buy a copy. Price, 50 cents, published by F. W. Helmick, the Great Western Publisher, 136 West Fourth Street, Cincinnati, O.

A gentleman once bought two lottery tickets, one for himself and one by the request of his friend who was absent. In the course of a few months the lottery was drawn, and the friend for whpm he had bought the second ticket, and who had not been called upon to pav for it, received a note that he had drawn $20,000. “But how did you know which ticket was mine and which was your own?” The honest man replied: “1 bought two tickets and placed them in my bureau drawer, but thinking that there might be some question, I marked the one I intended for you with a cross, and I find it was your ticket that had drawn the prize.” Match this who can as an instance of downright honesty- —Boston Journal.
