RENSSELAER JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA. FRIDAY JULY 16 1886.

Bereavement and Consolation. It is not in the parting hour when those we fondly love Have breathed to us their last farewell and winged their way above: Nor yet when in the darksome grave we lay them to their rest, The sharpest pangs of sorrow rends the stricken mourner's breast. ’Tis when we seek our lonely homo, and meet no more the smile Which could the darkest cloud dispel and , every care beguile; And when we meet around the board, or at the hour of prayer, ’Tis then the heart most feels its loss—the loved ones are not there. And thus as days and months steal on, as memory brings to view The visions of departed joys, our grief was stirred anew. Though faith may own a Father’s hand, yet nature will rebel, And feel how hard it is to say, “He hath done all things well.” O, mournful memories of the past! ye wear our lives away; Ye haunt us in our dreams by night and through each weary day. The home which late like Eden’s bower in blooming beauty smiled, Go make a barren wilderness—a desert waste and wild. But why thus yield to fruitless grief? Are they not happier far, The sainted ones for whom wc mourn, than we who linger here? Our hearts should glow with grateful love to Him whose watchful eye ’ Saw dangers gathering iu their path, and called them to the sky. Not jong shall we the loss deplore, for soon the hour will come When we with those so fondly loved shall slumber in the tomb. Then let the remnant of our days bo to His service given. Who hid our idols in the grave, lest we should fail of heaven. Not willingly the Lord afflicts, nor grieves the sons of men; ’Tis but to wean our souls from earth and break the power of sin. He saw us wandering from His path, and sent the chastening rod To turn our feet from error’s way and brings us home to God. Shall we defeat His wise design and waste our days in tears. Ungrateful for the numerous gifts that Heaven m mercy spares? Let faith and hope be cherished still, and brighter days shall dawn, And plants of peace shall spring anew from seeds of sorrow sown. —Louise Grant, in Good Housekeeping.

A Curious Savings Bank.

Some years ago, an old wooden bridge spanned the Schuylkill river at the foot of Penn street, Reading, Pa. In the course of time a more substantial structure was deemed necessary, and the timbers of the old bridge were carefully taken apart, and reserved for use in repairing and rebuilding the smaller connty bridges. While preparing some of this old timber for its new use, a few days ago, it became necessary to saw oil several feet from a heavy piece, which was to be used as a girder in a small bridge under contemplation. When the end portion dropped to the ground, the workman was astonished to hear a jingling sound as of gold and silver coin. A summons of such good omen insured a speedy investigation, which resulted in finding eagles, half eagles, silver dollars, halves, and quarters mixed together in careless confusion. The source of supply was found in a section about eighteen inches in length and live inches deep, which had been hollowed out of the log with auger and chisel. An inch thick cover had been fitted over the opening so cleverly and scaled with so much care that detection, other than accidental, was hardly possible. The treasure had been confined in a home-knit woolen stocking, and as the saw cut off the toe, a part of the contents was discharged. The value of the - deposit, though reported to be considerable, was not made public. The money was probably hidden away a number of years ago, as specimens of three, live, ten, twentyfive, and fifty cent scrip, nicely folded up in a piece of writing paper, were among the contents. Not a line indicated the ownership. The question of possession is consequently divided as to whether it should go to the workman who discovered it, the owner of the timber, or the county. The finder probably inclines to the first suggestion.

Democratic Administration.

Indianapolis Seutiual: When in power,the Republicans startled the country from time to time by great robberies of the Treasury and other bold corruptions. The offenders being pets of the party were usually allowed to escape withlible punishment, or none at all. The effect of this corruption oil society was highly demoralizing, and to the cause of liberty it was very prejudicial. Apprehensions were aroused in patriots throughout the country, and we were scandalized in the eye , of other nations. To stop this corruption was the imperative want of our country. To stop it Avas the great task undertaken by the Democracy. To stop it was the great pledge made by the Democracy to the people in the last national campaign Upon this pledge above all others, the people wrested power from the incorrigible Republicans and confided it to the Democracy, by Avhom it has now been exercised one year and four months. In this time Avliat a i emarkabie exemption from administrative* robberies, frauds, grabs, has blessed the count y.— This exemption is a fact ns conspicuous, as impressive, and is conclusive of the Democracy’s fidelity to the people in the great pledge. Democratic administration, as yet at least, shamed the country Avith no such indellihle infamies as the Republican ‘star route parade,’ ‘whisky ring,’ ‘naval ring,’ ‘safe burglary,’ e'tc. As to grabs, not only have none been made in the time named, but the Democracy has Avrested from Republican grabbers large bodies of land and restored it to the people; and resolutely continues in this good work, despite the protests and wails of Republican monopolists. And, too, the Democracy executes its noble work in spite of the fact of being hampered all the time by hosts of inimical Republican officeholders, imbued with corruption. There is, of course, no brilliancy in purging the Government of irruption, but the solid value of this purgative to the people and to the cause of liberty is incalculable. The Avorthiness of Democratic administration is amply attested by the poor pretexts for denunciation of it to which in the absence of adequate cause, astute Republicans, like Senators E munds, Ingalls and others, are driven by their exigency. Denunciation is the party’s only resource uoav for Avarmth to maintain its vitality out in the cold. People of any government naturally lookup to it for their standard of conduct. There is nothing, therefore so demoralizing as profligacy in government. In ridding themselves of Republican proflgacy the people of this country haA-e revived confidence in all friends of liberty, have vindicated popular government, and have conferred a mighty blessing upon themselve s This they have done through tlie instrumentality of the Democracy.

Peterson’s Magazine for August opens with a beautiful steelengraving, “Morning Among the Mountains,” followed by a doublesize colored fashion plate, and this by a colored pattern for embroidery. In addition there are some fifty wood-cuts of fashions, worktable patterns, etc. .' he contributors to the number are Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, Frank Lee Benedict, A M. Ewell, Emilv Lenox, and the author of “The Corsair’s Captives”; besides others, in poetry and prose, equally eminent. We do not see how any lady can do without this magazine. Everything it gives, from its steel-en-gravings and original stories down to its fashions and work-table oatterns, is the best of its kind. — Terms, only Two Dollars a year. Great deductions are made to clubs. Specimens sent gratis, it written for, to those wishing to get up clubs. Address Charles J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.

INDIANA.

The Republicans try to persuade ; themselves that there is a prospect of their winning in the next election in this State, and of their thus retaining one of her United States Senntorships. This prospect is a dream of their desires rather than a thing of fact Indiana is as essentially Democratic as Ohio is Republican. The renorof her history is Democrat! ; the mass of her people have been born and bred Democrats; in their daily lives, in their plain Avays and honest habits, they exemplify Democracy. By the jar of war the Republicans did force her from her Democratic orbit and make her revolve for a time on an abnormal course; but the cause is removed and she has righted and is steady again in her true position, as next November Avill show, bhghting the hopes, once for all, of the Republicans as to her political status. She is not only Democratic, but is one of the brightest stars in the Democratic constellation of States. She alone, of the Northwest during the dark days of Republican domination shed any light for the Democracy. This light the Republicans, Avielding txe power of the Union, sought utterly to extinguish but could not, as it would and did slioav iffielf from time to time, to their alaiin. Hoav idle, then, for them to mature hope of of her now, Avhen they no longer hold the Federal power for coersion nor the Federal Treasury for bribery, for corruption, for Dorsey campaigns. Indiana is the dread of the Republicans and the ‘ dmiration of the Democracy. She is the Democratic star of the Northwest.

Valparaiso, Ind

Richmond, Ind., July 3.— While returning to this city from a lecture in Henry County, Wednesday evening, the' Rev. J. S. Hughes, a Avell known prohibition speaker avhs attacked and badly beaten by a crowd of enraged Republicans. —Special to Cincinnati Telegram. Evidently the Henry county Republicans haA r e no more love for prohibitionists than have their partisan brethren in this locality. Two years ago Republicans here indulged very freely in throats to burn Hon. R. S. DAviggins in effigy. Bro. James attributes his eye-trou-bles to the propelling power of whisky, impelled by his admiration of the prohibition—vote. —— -4 • »-♦ - White County Democrat: Mrs. Ella Hinchman, of Princeton toAvnship, reports one of the most curious freaks of nature in*the poultry line Ave have ever heard of so far. A turkey lion left the nest after hatching out all the eggs given her, but four. An examination of these eggs revoaled the following: One shell revealed a Avell developed turkey Avith two heads. Another had a turkey with four legs, and a third had two turkeys in it. The fourth had well, nothing in it. Had this egg not been rotten, there is no telling what it would have contained. The Benton ReA’ieAv: Well, after much worry and great labor, Simon P Thompson wus brought forth as a candidate for Senator a t the Good land Convention. No one can greatly Avonder’at the result; Mr. Dague the Benton County candidate, is a straight-forward business man and Avouhl not stoop to the dishonorable deeds of the ordinary politician, Mr. Hartley, of Newton Countv, is a plain, honest man, strong with the people, but untutored in the Aviles of the politician. Mr, Thompson, the nominee, is a shrewd politician avlio knoAvs lioav to summon to his aid the tricksters of his party and to their machinations he is no doubt indebted for his nomination. It has been said that barley Hartley is especially popular Avith the people, while Simon P. Thompson is a creation of politicians. He has been nominated ; iioav can he be elected ?
