Some of our citizens witnessed a game of foot ball for the first time Thanksgiving day. The universal decision seems to be against the game. Some of them say that prize fighting is respectable compared with foot ball. Others say it should be made a felony,f to play the game. In these sentiments, many people heartily ^'concur. There 'is no sense in the game, no soience, no skill—nothing but brute force and danger. It should not be encouraged or countenanced. It should be abolished as it is now played. It does not speak well f/r our colleges that they permit their ff ndents, .to play thai game.

The month of December has two full moons, and the Adventists are excited. "We figure it out this way," said a member. "As is well known, it is a rare case that fair Luna has a pleasure of getting full twice in one month. Indeed, we say that this thing has not happened since the first coming of Christ, nearly 2,000 years ago. Taking this assertion as a foundation we argue that this particular fact will bring about His second coming, and that it will happen some time during the approaching holidays."
By reading the above items in connection, it will be seen if both are true that people will need two articles very badly, ulsters and wings. Our advertisers can supply the ulsters but the wing market is short since Thanksgiving. The Advent theory will knock the Christmas festivities out sure, but sinee so many predictions by Hicks and so many prophecies by the Adventists have not happened on schedule time, we would advise people to move right along in the good old way and have a grand and glorious time during the holidays. Merchants who assist people to enjoy the holidays should cell the dear people through the columns of the REPUBLICAN, daily and, weekly, just what they have in store for them.

THE LITTLE GIANT.
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS AS HIS INTIMATE FRIENDS KNEW HIM.
His Narrow Escape When an Infant—Return to His Devoted Mother After His Election to Congress—The Grangers, Father and Son, and Their Wives.
It is not strange that people gaze at the shaft surmounted by the bronze figure of Stephen A. Douglas, overlooking the lake, as they pass by the spot where the remains of the electric statesman are at rest.
It was Oliver Wendell Holmes who said that it is the incidental part of a man's life which interests the people. There was a good deal of this sort of thing in the Douglas family. There runs through the story of that family a thread of the uncommon. The country knows all about the political career of the man who faced Lincoln in debate, and who became the idolized leader of his party in the north. There was something in the disappointment of the man that touched the sensibilities of his opponents, as there is always and ever will be something pathetic in the failure of one who expires when within grasp of along cherished hope.
A picture of the house in which Douglas was born was recently taken at the suggestion of his only living sister, Mrs. Sarah Granger, now 84 years old, and still living on the old farm near Clifton Springs, N. Y., on which she was married, and which was opened up by her husband's father, Hezekiah Granger, in 1799.
The father of Douglas, whose name was also Stephen A.—the Little Giant being the fourth Stephen A. in direct line—was standing before the big fireplace in his home at Brandon, Vt., with his son, then two months old, in his arms. The father's heart was affected, and he let the child fall from his grasp. The father fell dead. The child fell into the ashes, and but for instantaneous rescue would have meta horrible death. The mother of Douglas was Sarah Fisk, and she was the second cousin of Jim x''isk of picturesque career and tragic end.
Referring to the incidentals of a man's career, here is another of more than passing interest, inasmuch as it furnishes the key to the coming of young Douglas into the west.
There was a man who lived on a farm with his father near Clifton Springs, N. Y., whose name was Granger. His father was Hezekiah Granger. The son was in the habit of visiting Brandon, Vt., to do his courting. He married Miss Sarah Douglas. She was the sister of Stephen A. Douglas, and followed him in all his career, even unto his death, and then came on here to Chicago to watch the building of the monument to the memory of one whom she still refers to as the "best man that overlived." Young Granger returned to the old homestead near the Springs with his bride. His father, Hezekiah, at once declared that hp boy's wife was a "mighty fine woman,'' and asked if there was any of the stock left, for Hezekiah was in his weeds. The boy told his father that his bride's mother was living, and wtvs likewise in her weeds. Hezekiah hitched up his team and made a pilgrimage to Brandon, Vt., where he "made up an acquaintance" with the Widow Douglas, and soon after they were married. Thus the boy had a mother-in-law and a stepmother in one, and the old gentleman became the stepfather to hia daughter-in-law. To the old farm in New York came Stephen A. Douglas, and while there he heard about the chances for young men in the west, and concluded to come out. The story of the penniless young man who reached Illinois, and afterward became one of its senators, is as familiar in Illinois as is the life of Washington in Virginia.
The morning young Douglas left the house on the old Granger farm his mother walked with him down to the gate that opened out into the lane and into the United States senate, and put her arms around her boy's neck and kissed him goodby. "When are you coming back to see your old mother?" she asked him. "On my way to congress," was the prophetic reply. There is a Patmos that rises across the way of some mortals.
A good many years went by, and the faithful mother used to go down to the gate of the lawn and look along the lane and go back again unconsoled. One day she saw a man coming, and, though he hud grown and had some of that tired look in his face which the west imprinted on its young men, the woman knew this was her boy. He held in his hand his certificate of election to the lower house of the national congress from the district in which he lived in Illinois. He was on his way to congress.
Long years after this, when the young man had scars upon his political armor, made in contest with the grants of those days, and when he was in the race for the White House wreath and the press of the opposition was vindictive in its attack upon him, Douglas stopped on his return from Washington to visit his mother, who had in the meantime moved up near the Canadian border. The wagon roads were filled with the plain people of that section who assembled at the station to meet the presidential candidate. The old woman threw her arms about the neck of her boy in the pressnce of the multitude, and cried out, "Ah, they do not know my boy as I do or they would not say what they do about him"—referring to the attacks of the opposition. And the son, forgetting for the moment that he was in a presidential contest, embraced the old lady and responded in the hearing of the concourse, "Thank God, I have found my mother."—Chicago Chronicle.
Libel once meant any little book, but as many small tracts in the early days of printing were personal and/offensive in character the word acquired its present significance.

Hon» Wm. H. English, of Indianapolis^ Is certainly deserving of the highest con» inendation for his action in withdrawing) from public life several years ago in ordei^ to devote himself to the task of writings history of Indiana, th* introduction off which is now appearing in two volume* under the title of "COWQUEBT OP THSf NORTHWEST. He a millionaire, arid it Is therefore unreasonable to suppose thait his work along historical lines was animated by any spirit of selflshnesf or sordidnesa. No other ni&n Is so well equipped for the task he self-imposed. He has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost continuously since it was admitted to Statehood^ He Was secretary of the Constitutional Convention, and his personality 13 strongly* marked in the orcania law ^s well as lh much of subsequent legislation. His great wealth ha® afforded him opportunities for devoting? his entire attention to literary labor. Hia intimacy with public men and State and Federal officials, has given him exceptional facilities for gaining access to documents necessary to insure thoroughness and exactness In the preparation of hia history. After several years of ardent devotion and labor, undertaken in a spirlfl of State pride and for pure love of it, the publication of "THE CONQUEST OF THE NORTHWEST" will cause him to be kindly remembered aa an Indlanlatt whose motives have been ofiten miscon» strued and whose real worth as a man and citizen has been often ignored bff unreasonable political bla9 and human na« ture's inherent prejudlie against men Of Immense wealth.—Lafayette Courier.
