Origin of ‘Painting the Town Red.’

‘How is politics in Harris burg?’ asked Billy Welsh, the minstrel manager, of a Telegragh reporter. ‘Red hot,’ answered the reporter; ‘both parties have painted the town red.’ Mr. Welsh remarked: ‘That's an old expression—painting the town red—do you know where it originated? Well I’ll tell you. On my last tour through the country with Callendar’s Ministrels—a year ago or more —I had as advance agent a man named Campbell. <- ampbell was a genius at advertising, and never permitted a rival to get ahead of him. One day in Buffalo I said: ‘Campbell, i hear that Barlow &Wilson are oo veringuny bil Is with their paper; I want that stopped.’ 1 told him that he would strike them at Adrian, Mich. When next I saw him lie had a huge bundle of bills ready for shipment to Adrian. All were printed in bright red. ‘■* hat are you going to do?’ I asked. Tam going up to A drian to pa -te* these bills over Barlow & Wilson’s, and on every dead wall in that olace. I am going to paint the town red,’ and he left. When we got to Adrian it looked as if it was on fire, so thoroughly had Campbell done his work. That expression was so comic that the colored ministrels caught on to it, and whenever there was any excitement or anybody got loud, they always said somebody was pa’nting the town red. Of course it spread, and is now in use by everybody.’—Harrisburg Telegraph.

Mr. Hendricks.

[Unntington Democrat.] The besjeyidenee that could be advanced that Governor Hendricks has again said something that hurts, is in the fact that the Republican press of the land are abusing him with all the force at their command. If there is any man in the country that the inefficient or dishonestfrepublican official hates, that man is Governor Hendricks, and whenever he exposes one of that class, the press of the Republican party ease their guilty conscience by personal assaults upon Mr Hendricks, " e knbw of no higher compliment that could be passed upon our favorite son than this inconsistent and irrational abuse. It is evidence to all honest men that Governor Hendricks’ purity of character, honesty of pur-

pose and a life of official integrity, as compared to a majority of Republican officials, constitutes too great a contrast for these puppets that are now howling at his heels. The further fact that Governor Hendricks is first in the hearts of the people of Indiana and honored by Democracy and elected to the second position inthe Nation, may also ac-

count for the maliciousness of the Republican press of Indiana. We are glad to say, however, that the Indiana Democracy are not disturbed in the least. Flushed with our grand victory and the triumph of Democratic principles, we can only pity the miserable creatines mat wallow in the filth and mire of their own un worthiness and party dishonor. No, gentlemen, if such you should be called, the day of ‘Democratic j übilee; has come, and the price of our high calling will be our honest and efficient public service, and it will be honored and sustained by the American people. The past services and lives of such men as Govern'or Hendricks insures this.

‘Some people,’ says the Boston Herald (Ind) ‘think that it was not ‘Rnm, Romanism and Rebellion,’ but ‘Blaine, Ball and Blackguard ism, which defeated the Republi, can party.’ It is now Butler the Behushed

An Old and Good Story to the Front.

[R che-ter Post-iSxpres*.] When Nesmith was elected to the Senate from Oregon, Jn the early part of the war, he had never been in Washington; never been east of *the Rocky Mountains: in fact, since lie emigrated as a boy to the Pacific slope to seek his fortune. He liad never seen a railroad or a locom itive, until he struck the Panama Road at the isthmus, and, as he described himself, was ‘green as a squash.’ Upon reaching Washington, being too bashful to present his credentials and be sworn in at once, he spent |a day or two looking down upon that distinguished body from a seat in the gallery, so as to get tie hang of things a little before he ventured on the floor. His diffi - dence wore off after a little, and his great fund of anecdote, his fine vein of humor, his frontier frankness and originality of character and manner, drew around him warm friends of both parties. Standing one day m a group of Senators who had been questioning him concerning his adventurous life, Senator " il»on, of Massachusetts said: ‘I understand, Senator, that you had never seen a railroad until yon came East, and that everything of that sort in the way of modern improvements was entirely new to you. Now, I am curious to know what struck you as being the most wonderful thing that met your observation on this side of the continent?’

Nesmith hesitated a moment then said: ‘Well, [ spent my first two or three days in ashington up there in the gallery, looking at the Senate, and I think what most filled me with wonder, was the thought that I, who went off to Oregon yrs. ago a poor, uneducated boy, should be here as a member of the highest legislative body in the country, hat was my greatest wonder.’

‘Well—but—l don’t mean that exactly,’ said Wilson,,who was chiefly curious about what mechanical contrivance or invention had excited most sur prise, ‘but what after that most surprised yous ‘Well,’ said Nesmith, dropping his serious manner knd putting on a quizzical expression, h think after the sensation of surprise at being here myself, what excited moat wonder was how the d—l the rest of you got here.’

A Daring Gang 'of Rsbbers.

Kittanning, Pa., Dec. 7th,— Thieves entered the general supph store of R. & G. Mechlins, East Franklin Township, early Saturday morning, ana after chloroforming and binding Ross Mechling, took S6OO in money, and with a horse and wagon stolen from the stable, carried away several hundred dollars worth of goods. On recovering, from the effects of the chloroform Mechling came to Kittaning, and with a posse of ten men I heavily armed, under com- ! mand of Deputy Sheriff Hen- ; ry, started in pursuit of the ' robbers. who were traced to :Gla e RmT where they were hYiing. The, pursuers fired H several shots, but the outlaws i outwitted them by taking ref;uge in a deserted house and escaping throngh thn back j window. The Sheriff’s pOßse , then discounted and left their i horses in charge of D. W. Hill while they scoured the country for !urobbers. When they came-back they found the horses gone and the guard bound ana gagged. During theis absence the robbers had returned, and after making I Hill ’a- prisoner, mounted the horsfes and rode away. Another posse is searching the thickets to-day.

Open the Books.

(Botcou The country is indebted to ; Vice President-elect Hendricks for early formulating and keeping steadily and closely before if, the vital issues of reform in the public service. Very soon after the nominations were made he declared it 'to be time that the books, which had been made up by one corrupt administration after another, were examined. and that duty he impressed upon the people in his speeches with an effect that was potent } as the majorities in his section showed, it is time and long past time for the books to be opened. No board of directors or experts have examined them, except such as have been interested in making a fair report to the country. Enough is known to demonstrate that a fair report has not always been a true one. livestigation has been almost impossible, for one obstacle after another has been thrown in the way of all attempts at it, and it is only by getting the books fairly into t heir hands that those anxious to get at the truth can make an examination that shall be thorough and satisfactory. - 1 here has been juggling and concealment without limit in all branches of the public service, and we doubt not disclosures le in store that will astound the country. But it is time that the truth/as known,, whether that astounds or not. Mr. Hendricks was right, and the opportunity that has now come should be used to the utmost.

" bile Bob Ingersoll was indulging in ridicule of orthodox religion and making a fierce assault upon Christianity, at Lafayette the other nigh*, Hon John A. Stein arose and said: ‘Colonel Ingersoll, ' must protest against such blasphemy; I will leave.’ Mr. fngersoll quickly retorted: ell, why don’t you go?’ Mr. Stem then quickly bowed himself out accompanied by some other gentlemen.

Awful Thing,—lt is an aw ful thing to have the Republican Secretary of the Treasury talking “about a tariff for revenue only ” Perhaps some of the Republican manufacturers of the East will feel it to be their solemn duty to collapse when they hear of this.—New York World.

The First Steamer In Shetland.

(Good Word*.) In 1832 the first steam vessel appear’d off the Shetland coast causing great alarm to the islanders, who not unnaturally took it for a snip on fire. It was not, however, till fifteen years later that the secluded inhabitants of the more northern islands were first introduced to vessels propelled by steam, in the summer of 1847 the late Mr. Arthur Anderson, then candidate for the representation of the county, entj ered a certain voe in Yall in his steam yacht. Some noise was occasioned by blowing off steam. Two unsophisticated islanders, who were engaged in picking limpets on the seashore, surveyed the fire ship in blank astonishment. *A t length the more strong-mind-ed of the two handed his sunff horn to his more terrified companion with the exhortation, Oh! .Tam! v'Jimm, sr.uff, . .oil tfiyiih naemair wi me tiii we snuff together in glory!, He had concluded the great day of wrath had come, and on board the steamer was the angel blowing his lasi trumpet.
