A Horse's Sfemory.

"Say, 1'rieml. you iivi: on my horso.* said one gentleman to another as In reined his horso before the door, vttOiliTTTir !iorse! Oil. no! Why,I bought this horse two years ago." "You did?" answered the other. "Well, I lost my hum:. It Mat .stolen just 1 wo years aro.'"

The conversation look place. inlet the fur-spreading oaks of an old-t.iim plantation home, says the St. Louis 6*lobe-Democrat. A planter was surprised to see his horse return homu after two years, and riUlen by a gentleman who evidently had bought the horse in good faith. After some conversation the oKl owner of the horse, with much earnestness, said: "Well, .sir, if you will dismount, unsaddle the horse, and he doesn't go to the fence, take the bars down, walk to the well, and if he doesn't find water in the bucket let it down the well, and then off to his old stable 1 will give up. and that horse isn't mine." "At your word the horse is yours if he does all that," cried the visitor, and, leaping from the horse, unsaddled it. Whar was his astonishment when the horsC went straight to the fence.let down the bars, crossed over, went to the well, and. linding no water, let the bucket down, and then, as though he had left hou:c but yesterday, walked to the old stable. The animal remembered the trie! ami the owner recovered his horse. There are those living now who ean attest to the truth of this story, though il happened years ago.

TERRIFIC STORM.

Five Killed and Many Injured in a Wreck.

A wind storm of terrific violence swept over West Superior. Wis., on the 16th, carrying death aud destruction in its path. The wind was accompanied by pouring rain. The air was heavily chaiged with electricity. The storm lasted only about thirty minutes, but in that, time many thousands vi dollars of damage was done, besides taking oft' at least five lives and the visiting of terrible injuries upon many parties.

During the storm an alarm of fire was turned 111 from the Fifth ward and the department responded to tinJ the new large four-story frame hotel 011 Third street, near Lambert avenue, a mass of ruins. The structure had blown down, and the cry went up from a hundred excited individuals that the wreck \v(as the tomb of many men.

LOCUSTS OR GRASSHOPPERS.

Toxas Crops Are Menaced ljr Smalt but Harmful Insects.

A San Antonio, Tex., special says: S. P. Lawson a prominent stockman of Deming, N. M., has arrived there and gives an account of the yrasshopper ravages in the northern and western counties of New Mexico, where he says they are doing incalculable harm. Some consider them the seventeen-year locusts, which ravaged the West during the 70's. The locusts are moving east, and north in two principal swarms and devouring the grass on the range and leaving the akali bare. They have stripped the vegetation and leaves oi the trees and left nothing but the dry alkali earth. When they have struck the Rio Grande valley, where the land is level, they have ravaged the ground of everything in sight. They move in hunches four and five miles wideOne bunch has devastated Colfax and Mora, in the northern part of the Territory, and is sprc-adingintoColorado, Kansas and the Pan-Handle of Texas, while another bunch will reach the central Texas line by winter.

They do not make much progress after flying, but the eggs they lay hatch, and endi batch fiies eastward. They will Iter,j moving in this way and laying billions of eggs in Texas and Kansas for next season's hatching. It will be bad for the ranges of western Texas, for if they can cross New Mexico they will have 110 trouble on the old staked plains. They may not reach eastern Texas next week soon enough to destroy the crops, but I fear for Kansas. It will go hard with her in lS'^

THE WORLD'S WHEAT CROP.

A Ureat Drain to be Made on the Ameri can Product.

The London Times of the 20tfc summarizes the harvest prospects of the world as foil jws:

In Russia there is a grave deficit, the peasantry arc starving and there is small hope of relief. In India there is serious anxiety: a famine prevails over a considerable portion of the country. Madras, Iiajputana and the Punjale are the worst sufferers. There is drought in Bengal, and the need of more rain is urgent. Bombay alone promises a good harvest.

The American harvest will be good in quality and amount, but witii the failutv of the Indian and Russian supplies, it iof the utuicst Importance that the English ciop shall not be short. The prospect

on the whole is good. In the chief wheat counties—Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk—the crop is above the average, and in other counties up to the average. Their harvest will bo late, and prices will be high. There is therefore a good outlook for the English farmer to break the long series of disastrous years.

PRODUCTION OF SUGAR.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has prepared a statement of the probable production of sugar during the current fiscal year, of which the following are a summary:

Number of producers of sugar from cane, 730: from beets, 7 from sorghum, 3 from maple sap, 3,932 total, 4,67". Estimate oi the amount of sugar which will be produced from cane, 500.000,000 pounds beet sugar, 29,210,000 pounds sorghum surgar, 2.500,000 pounds maple sugar. 8,000,000 total. 589.710,000 pounds. Estimate of the amount of bounty to bo paid: Ou cane sugar. $10,350,000 on beet sugar, $5S4,000: on sorghum sugar. ?50.0 0 on maple sugar, 510,0C0: total, $11,134,200,

The production of sugar from beets so far as the issue of licenses is concerned, is confined to California, Nebraska, Utah and Virginia. There are three produced in California with an estimated production from six thousand acres of sixteen million pounds, one-half of which is attributed to the Western Beet Sugar Company, of San Francisco, whose factory is located at Watsonville. Santa Cruz county. The Virginia production Is estimated at ten thousand pounds. The estimated production of sugar from sorghum cano is dived between Kansas, with a production from 4.034 acrcs of 2.500,000 pounds, and Missouri with twenty-sx acres, producing 10,000 pounds.

AN INSANE MOTHER'S DEED.

With a Shotgun She Kills Her Three Children and Herself.

Mrs. Thomas Lichridc, wife of a prosperous farmer living two miles from Springfield, Tenn., killed herself and three children on the 12th. She had been in poor health for some time, and her mind is supposed to have become affected.

After writing a long letter to her husband. who was attending church, the woman secured a double-barreled shotgun, and, placing it at the breast of each of her three children in turn, tore their little bodies terribly with the heavy charges. Then turning the weapon upon herself she ended her awful work. The children were aged four years, two years, and four months. The mother had been despondent, for many years, and had attempted her life before she was married.

Tells the Time by His Beard. *'I never carried a watch in my life," said aNew Yorker of 50.

watch is a habit, not a necessary article. No mail who carries a watch can be any more regular in his habits than I am. I can get up at a certain minute, and do so every morning. I can tell the time of day by feeling my face. The beard grows exactly so" much, and you con coma within a reasonable time of hour by passing the hand over the chin. Not that it is often necessary, because regular habits soon become second nature and you never think of wondering about the hour. Of course, the man who lives on trains and boats a good deal has to wear timepiece and a timetable."

Result of Endorsing Notes. The statement is made that Sena" tor McDonald died poor. Besides a little real estate in Indianapolis and in Washington, fee left but little. The reason why he '"did nut pile up riches," says the Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Com-mercial-Gazette, "was because he had not the heart to refuse to endorse the commercial paper of his friends. Almost any man's request for his signature was complied with and, asa

result. Senator McDonald invested thousands of dollars in security debt from which he never realized a cent. Considering the long and highly lucrative law practice that was his, Senator McDonald should have accumulated a big fortune. That h€ did not is due to his own generosity.'

CAMPBELL AGAIN.

The Ohio Democrats Renominate the Governor.

A Little Inharmonlona, bat They Get There Just the Same—Campbell's Acceptance—The Platform.

The Ohio Democratic convention at Cleveland, on the 15th, opened at 10:30 a. m. Allen W, Thurman, temporary chairman, spoke at length, reviewing and criticising the policy of the Republican party in raising the average rate of duty from 47 to 57 per cent. in clothing the President of the United States with unconstitutional powers in its pernicious class legislation, driving the American marine off the high seas in assisting England in her attempt to establish monometalism in adding, in a short time, two thousand names to the listof office holders in blocking ail legislation for months in an endeavor to enact an infamous, villainous, partisan force bill.

Ex-Congressman Frank LeBland, of Mercer county, was chosen permanent chairman.

Gen. Armstrong, of Cleveland, moved that the convention adopt the picture of a victorious rooster as the device to designate the Democratic ticket. ''I think," said the General, "that tlii3 convention should adopt, as the emblem of the Democratic party of Ohio, the old game-cock rooster. [Cheers andiapplause.] The Republicans will recognize that as our symbol and every man who ever voted the Democratic ticket can put his mark under the rooster." [Laughter and applause.l The suggestion struck the convention favorably and the motion was adopted by ac"clamation.

The first contest in the convention arose over the report of the committee on credentials. The dispute in the Twenty-fifth ward of Cincinnati and Hamilton county delegation was the subjectof the wrangle, the Hamilton county delegation generally protesting against the report of the committee and supporting a minority report.

After some wrangling a vote was taken and the minority report overwhelminlgly defeated.

Following this came the reports on the platform. A SPLIT IN THE FLATFOBM.

The committee 011 resolutions made two reports. The majority report was as foltows:

The Democracy of Ohio, in convention assembled, hereby Resolve, That we most heartily endorse the honesty and economy of the admistration ol Gov. James E. Campbell, and commend the Sixty-ninth General Assembly for its business qualifications, economy and reform, and especially for having provided for a secret ballot, by winch every voter in Ohio can cast his ballot, in secret, as lu» desires, and have his vote counted as cast: and we invite attention to the lact that the Republican party, though hypocritically professing to favor "a tree hallos md a lair count," yet opposed and voied against the bill providing tor a tree and secret ballot, thus demonstrating its professions to be insincere and tor political ef? feet only and we cordially indorse and approve tin act of the Legislature regulating the compensation of county oilicers by providing lor a lixed salary.

We are opposed to all class legislation., and we believe in a tariff levied for the so it* purpose of producing a revenue sutlicient to delray the legitimate extenses of the Govern men t, economically administered. We accept the issue tendered us by the Llepubiican party 011 the subject ot the tantt, as represented by the so-called Mcivinley taml! act, confident the verdict of the people of Ohio will be recorded against tho iniquitous policy of so-caliel protecion, championed by the Republican party the interest of lavored classes against he masses.

We tavor a gradod income tax. We denounce the demonetization of silver in 1SV3 by tho party then in power as an iniquitous alteration of the money standard in favor 01 creditors and against lebtors, tax payers and producers, and which, by shutting off one of tho sources ef supply of primary money, operates continually to mcreaso tho value ox gold, iepresses prices, hampers industry and disparages enterprise and we demand tho i-emstateiiHVit of the constitutional standird of both sold and silver, with equal •iglit to eacu of free and unlimited coinige.

We denounce the Republican billioniollar Congress, which by extravagant ex).inditures exhausted a surplus in the 11a^lounl treasury, lett there by a Drmocratic uinnuistration, and created a deficit whictt suostituted despotic rule for free discussion in the lou-e of Representatives, ,md we congratulate tho people on the do.eat of the odious force bill, demanded by a Republican President and cliampionid jv the Republican party for the purpose i'i perpetuating its rule by perverting the constitutional powers ot the Government, Icstroying tree elections and placing tho hallot-box in tho hands of unscrupulous partisans, in order, as declared by Speakiieed, "to register the voters, supervise the elections, count the ballotsandueclare the result."

We are opposed to the enactment of all laws whicn unnecessarily interfere with the habits and customs of our people, which are not offensive to the moral sentiments ot tho civilized world, and we believe that the personal rights of the individual should be curtailed only when it is essential to the maintenance of tho peace, good order and welfare of tho community.

We favor the pafifcige of such laws by the General Assembly as will give us a system for the government of municipalities uniform throughout the State, as the constitution requires, in which tho executive and legislative power shall be separated, the former to bo lodged in a mayor and thelatter in a council, both to be elected by the people,thereby realizing the principle or home rule, safe from the dangers and evils of special legislation. vVe favor closer commercial relations with our Canadian neighbors and the removal of the embarrassing and annoying restrictions which only vex our people without yielding any substantial revenue to the Government.

We favor liberal and just pensions to deserving and disabled soluiers and 9ailors who fought for the maintenance of the Government, and like pensions to their widows and orphan children.

The persecution of the Jewish people by the Russian government justly deserves and receives unqualified censure. Wo extend to them our sincere sympathies and believe that this Government, in connection with the enlightened governments of Europe disposed to unite with us, should take proper steps to alleviate the wrongs thus.lnflicted on this long-suffering and oppressed people.

The majority report was received with much applause, and the reading was followed by that of the minority roport, as follows:

We, the undersigned members of the committee on resolutions, recommend adoption of the following resolution as a substitute for the plank in the platform on the free and unlimited coinage of silver:

We believe in honest money, the coinage

of gold and sihw, and a circulating medium convertible into such moner without loss: and we oppose all legislation which tends to drive either gold or silver out of circulation and we believe in maintaining the coinage of both metals on a parity.

We also recommend that the resolution declaring for a graduated tax on income be stricken fi'om the platform,

The yeas and nays were demanded, and on roll-call of counties being called, the minority report was rejected by the very close vote of 300£ yeas to 399s nays. Tho platform as reported by the majority of the committee was then adopted by acclamation.

CAMPBELL'S RE-NOMIATION

In the balloting, when Hamilton county was called she cast four votes for Campbell and fifty-five for Neal amid great excitement.

The official vote was announced as fellows: Campbell, SOS 7-16 Neal, 133 9-16 Kline, 58 Johnson, 1.

The Governor was sent for and greeted with cordial enthusiasm. GOVERNOR CAMPBELL'S ACCEPTANCE.

In accepting the nominatian Governor Campbell said: While gratefully accepting the nomination from the Democratic party of Ohio, my thoughts naturally revert to the record and achievements of that party since the memorable Dayton convention. Victorious in the ensuing election, the Ohio Democracy lias legislated for the State and administered its attairs for eighteen months. In that short period it hasdestroyed every vestigo of the dangerous centralization which has made the oiiice of Governor a menance to the liberties of the people. It has restored to seventeen cities the control 01 their elections. It has provided new and better forms of government, in conformity with popular desire, for several of the larger cities. It has devoted time and care to tho perfection of a law, securing secrecy of the ballot, thereby assuring an unbiased and unbought verdict ol the people at the polls. Tins essential reform was rrustrated at the first session of the General Assembly by the unanimous vote of tho Senators, belonging to a political party which recently gathered in convention at Columbus, and prated, with hollow mockery of a "free ballot, and a fair count." Tho Democratic party has done more to advance the cause of higher education by its legislation for the Ohio State University, and appropriations for the universities, than has been accomplished in all the long history of the State and it has also been mindful of general education by enacting a salutary law for the cheapening of school books to the children of the poor. It had the courage to attack the odious fee system, whereby public officials were excessively compensated, and institute a system of just and reasonable salaries. It has especially looked after the welfare of agriculture, which has been continuously imposed upon by Republican congresses. Sixty thousand dollars were appropriated in one item to provide farmers with the results of agricultural experiments, and in their interest laws were passed with respect to oleomargarine and other products. The great laboring class, which hopelessly appealed to the Republican party, has not been forgotten either, as the institution of "Labor Day," important laws for tho protection of railroad employes and the establishment of free employment agencies will show.

Tho Democratic party has done what lay in its power to rectify our iniquitable tax laws and to provide tor their improvement through an amendment to tho constitution. It has decreased taxation more than $500 per year by the repeal of the sinking fund "levy. It found a deficiency in the treasury "of more than $900,000, which was subsequently slightly decreased by it. The timely receipt from the Federal Government, Iroin the direct tax refunded, was all that prevented the startling spectacle of an empty treasury--a direct legacy from former administrations. It has been charged that our appropriations have exceeded those of our predecessors. Without stopping for detailed explanation, merely stating that we have not exceeded our income. let us inquire which of the new appropriations our enemies would curtail. I have already named the expenditures in behalf of agriculture and education do they attack these? The largest new item of our appropriations was the sum of $200,0:X for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home do they-deny the propriety of this? When we came into power the helpless orphans of men who had given all to their country wero dying at a rate which shocked and alarmed the public. The administration of that institution had been one of the most personal and partisan in the State. High-minded trustees had been stricken by the chief executive because they did not prefer his interests to those of their dead comrades' children. To restore the health and save tho lives of those orphans, ,ve were glad to make unprecedented appropriations and if there be one spot in Ohio where a citizen of the State will feel a mingled joy and pride it is there, in the midst of the nine hundred happy and healthy children, for whom a Democratic administration has freely expended its money. We have built some new and roomy cottages at tho soldiers and sailors' home. Do our Republican brethron begrudge the old veterans this additional comfort,? We have mads large appropriations for completing the new reformatory, in the hope of reclaiming young convicts before ago and bad associates have hardened them beyond redemption. Does tho Republican party criticise the expenditure of money for the prevention of crime? We have provided for an epileptic asylum, and have added to the capacity of the insane asylums and to other benevolent and penal institutions. We are proud of them all. Their management, is economical, kind, firm and efficient. We invite from the tax-payer and the humanitarian searching investigation and thoughtful comparison.

The electors of Ohio have other reasons for voting with us this year besides such as solely affect this State. The battle before us is essentially a national one. Not onlv is this ture because the result must seriously affect next year's Federal elections. but also because the Republicans of Ohio have unreservedly identified themselves with every phase of the iniquitous legislation accomplished or attempted by tho Fifty-first Congress. In the platform they have reaffimed their adherence to the infamous force bill—the Republican lost cause—a measuro so obviously designed to destroy free elections that Republican Senators, unwilling to violate their consciences and their oaths, refused to inflict it upon the country. The Republican party of Ohio op pears as the defender of that arbitrary disregard of minority rights. which disgraced the last House of Representatives. It upholds the fraudulent unseating of lawfully elocted members the steal of Montana by the Senate and all other high-handed outrages by which that party has sought to perpetuate its power against the wishes of the people. It represents therecklessextravagance and astounding profligacy which have dissipated the splendid Democratic surplus, forced the extension of national bonds and compelled an Ohio Secretary of the Treasury to resort to tricks of bookkeeping and subterfuges unworthy of his office, in order to conceal a deficit and de-

Cepre-cmienffyalso

does tho Republican

leader in Ohio, whose high character and conspicuous career but emphasize his advocacy of bad legislation, stand for that pernicious tariff measure, which was rejected at the polls last year by the people of the entire country—a measure Indentiiied with his name, saturated with his id'as and wrought by his hands a measure designed, as has been well said, in the interest "of monopoly a measure which is bringing about tho worst of all centrali

zations—the centralization of wealth wltfc its debasing and destructive results measure which has already in many easel made less work and lower wages for productive labor a measure which has forcee the farmer of Ohio to sell his wool in sobm instances as low as 20 cents a pound, and that, too, in a market where he pays more dearly for hundreds of necessary articles, which are but insufficiently sweetened Witto the humbug of bounty-produced sugar a measure which forces from the labor of tn* country £14.000,000 each year for the benefit of prospective tin mines, owned by capitalists who live in England and pros pective tin-plate works, to beoperated by labor imported from Wales a measur« which, as it came from the hands of ltfr author, did not, in the opinion of an eminent Republican,

c,open

the market for

another pound of pork or another barrel of flour:" a measure which could not be forced down the throat of a reluciant Senate until sugar-coated with the old Democratic doctrine of reciprocity—a doctrin# finally, though feebly, embodied in the bill in spite of opposition from the great Ohio protectionist.

In his recent speech of acceptance this same champion of higher protection said: "We follow the tariff teachings of Washington and Hamilton, of Clay and Webster, of Lincoln and Garfield, Let us se» how wide of the mark this statement is. The tariff of to-day is at the rate of 57 Hjj per cent. the tariff of Washington was 7% percent. the protection sought by Clay was for the benefit of "infant'' Indu.-tries the tariff to-day increases protection upo» industries which have been coddled for more than ninety years the protection of Garfield was, to quoto his own words, "that kind of protection which leads t®ultimate free trade."

Let the Republicans of Ohio who hav» not gone mad 011 protection come over thi* year and start with us upon the backward march toward the tariff of Washington or, better yet. enroll themselves under abanner inscribed with those burning 'word» of Garfield. Let the well-meaning meia who train under the names of the "Farmers' Alliance," or of the "People's Party," aud who seek to remedy real grievance*brought about by Republican legislation, remember that no third party can succeed, but that with us, and as a part of us, they can help swell the joyous hosanna thaf will peal to haven from the tax-burdened people of the country, when the giad tidings go fortli next November that we ar» yet in possession of the old Reuublicac citadel now the Democratic lJucker* State. [Great applause.]

A Cat in*a Cattle Camp.

Speaking of intelligent cat9, says writer in tho New York Tribune, we owned ono when we were carapecl oaf tho Big Sandy river who knew a thing or tw». The Doctor was not handsome none of us thought that, but in & country where one saw only Indiana and coyotes week in and week out a cat was a good companion for a man whohad to watch the camp when the others ware away with the cattle. The most noticeable thing about the Doctor at first blush was his face and eyes. There was a white spot over one ey«and half of his face, which made him look like a bald-faced horse. To add to the odd effect caused by this blotchthe Doctor's eyes were of different colors. Ono was green and the other was a sort of brown. But if the Doctor was not noted for his beauty he was much respected on the Big Sandy, and no little consideration was shown him. in looking after his wants. It is certain that as far as provisions went h© always fared better than any man in camp.

If there was one thing which the Doctor and the rest of us took a lively interest in it was the killing of a yearling to get fresh meat. It may be supposed that fresh meat was not scarce in a cattle catnp, but this was not true. It was not often that tbe fev/ men who watched the herd found time to do any slaughtering. So when it was decided to kill a yearling there was an unusual stir of interest among the men.

The Doctor in a short time got to know so much about this operation that at the first sign of preparation ho gave expression to the wildest glee. As soon as one of the men began to sharpen his knife the Doctor climbed a fence-post and^on top of it began a series of crazy antics. Ho raised his back, with hair standing up like porcupine quills, and howled till the men started to lasso the yearling. Then tho Dcctofr became a four-leggefi fiend. With a wild scream he leaped from the post and ran before the b.orsea, tumbling over and over, clawing at the ground and tangling himself up with the horses' feet.

But when the yearling was caugfcl the Doctor became stUI more violent and his actions were simply demoniac#!. Not till the yearling was killed did become calm and then the contrast w.«* startling. He walked around tho prostrate animal with an »ir of the keenr«t delight, always ending his celebration by leaping lightly to back and 3'tting there, purring softly aud looking1 contented with the wurld and everything on its surface.
