Bruce is a dapper little fellow with black curly hair and full heavy, black beard. He wears gold-bound eye glasses which give him a somewhat distinguished appearance. He was quite a convivial companion. He came here last October and established himself at Willard’s Hotel, with telegraphic connection to New York and Chicago, and put out his sign Robert Bruce, broker.

A widow named Karr is said to have lost $7,000, and other ladies of a speculating turn of mind and confiding nature loet various amounts. Recently Bruce obtained the assistance of O. B.

Sixth District Democrats Nominate Dr. N. G. Smith for Congress. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, July 22. —The Democrats of this, the Sixth" Congressional district, met in delegate convention in this city, yesterday afternoon. CoL M. B. Miiler. of Winchester, presided. There were present many of the leading Democrats of the district. The object of the meeting was the nomination of a candidate for Congress, to hold intact the few votes throughout the district that will not be given Gen. Thomas M. Browne. Each county in the district, except Rush, presented a man ambitious to walk off with the empty honor of the nomination. Four ballots were taken, the last of which resulted in the unanimous choice of Dr. N. G. Smith, of Lewisville, Henry county. The work of this convention having concluded, the delegates from Delaware and Randolph held a joint convention and proceeded to nominate candidates for the judicial offices of the Twenty-fifth circuit, composed of these two counties. O. J. Lotz, of Delaware, was unanimously nominated for judge, and G. D. Williamson, of Randolph, for prosecuting attorney. At night the faithful thought it an auspicious rime to ratify, while speakers from a distance were present. Accordingly in the early evening the anvils were set to work to noise the news abroad. Soon a considerable crowd of Republicans and Democrats gathered upon the street corners, and the speech-making began. The first speaker was Dr. Davisson, of Hartford City, who, in war times, was charged with acting with an organized band of Knights of the Golden Circle and rebel sympathizers, that broke

open the box and destroyed the names of those to be drafted, and committed such other acts that Governor in order to quelll the disturbance, was compelled to send three companies of soldiers into that vicinity. His appearance here last night and the hitter speech he made Called forth no great display of enthusiasm. Colonel M. B. Miller also spoke, and to show the tone of his speech it is necessary to quote but his concluding sentence: “Let every Democrat do his duty now and until November, and we shall not only wipe out of existence the corrupt Republican party, but will sink its putrid carcass so deep into hell that we shall never again hear tell of it.” Several other speeches were made, but were all vulgar and void of culture. The Republicans of this county have, one and all, entered into the campaign with that spirit and determination which is tho forerunner of victory. Almost every township in the county has been organized, aud Blaine and Logan clubs are enrolling a few members from among thoso who have always voted with the Democracy. It is no exaggeration to say that the State and national tickets would now receive some tiling more than the usual party strength, while the enthusiastic campaign we are to have will no doubt increase that number. The outlook in this part of the State is encouraging. * Fulton County Republicans. Correspondence of 1 ho Indlananolis Journal. Rochkßtbr, July 23. —The Republicans in this county have been exceedingly active during the past few weeks, and have organized a number of Blaine and Logan clubs. -The young ladies of Rochester have also formed a Republican club, and no doubt their presence at political gatherings will be a valuable auxiliary. A large crowd was entertained at the Republican olub-rooms last evening by Hon, G. W. Holmau, Prof. A. E. Davisson and others.

Campaign Notes. The Brown county Republican central committee met at. Nashville and selected Wilqy Spurgeon as chairman, vice Mr. Jesse T. Brown, resigned. The temperance movement inaugurated -in Gibson county, last week, to advance. the cause of Democracy has proven a decided failure. Temperance Republicans aro now satisfied that the whole thing was a Democratic scheme. No temperance people there, except the radical Democrats, have any confidence ia Mr. Shoal. Tho result of his action has been to convince a few hesitating temperance Republicans that tho best plan for them to pursue is to stand by their old party. 4 The young Republicans of Creeacastlc have organized a Calkins Guards club. Tho membership is composed of Republicans under eighteen years of age, and is consequently very largo in numbers. They elected the following officers: Captain, F. P. Candrey; first lieutenant, Fred Owens; second lieutenant, Harry Fisher; first sergeant. Will Langsdalo; second sergeant; Arthur Hill. This is the third uniformed campaign club organized in Greenoastle, and all bid fair to. become proficient aids for campaign work. Suicide of an Alleged Murderer.

THE COTTAGE oa\ THE BEACH. Seeking Rest and Health and Finding Them on the Shore of Lake Huron. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Jonmnl. Huroniaßeach, Fort Gratiot, Mich., July 21. ; —While you are sweltering in the heat at home, j we are enjoying a temperature the average of which, as obtained from the Signal Service, was but 65° for June, and for July to date only 68°. When we came we left care and all domestic annoyances, including husbands, behind, and have given ourselves up to the mere pleasure of existence. We lie on the beaoh, half buried in the clean, white sand, which will not soil the 1 daintiest fabric, cover ourselves with an umbrella. and read the latest Journal, or lazily watch the passing steamers en route to Buffalo and the upper lakes, and the little snorting tugs as they skim along with from four to half a dozen lumber barges in tow. At this moment, while sitting on the porch of onr cottage, writing, by the light of the street-lamp, the briliantly illuminated mast-heads look like little constellations, and present a charming scene. “A paradise for children!’’—many mothers [ can echo the truthful assertion. A young mother came a week ago with her babe, who was lying; at the point of death. Her physician advised: her to try this shore of Lake Huron, telling her that the air, so strongly impregnated with pine from the forests surrounding the beach, would restore her baby to health if anything could. Today the child looks bright and has a good apatite, and the mothers face wears a hopeful smile. Life here is delightfully quiet. The only thing approaching excitement so far was the grounding of the steamer Saginaw, on the Cana-, dian shore, which, after a struggle of a few hours, regained the channel and gaily pursued her journey to Port Austin, where she goes daily from Detroit In Huronia forest in the rear of the beach, is a large variety of beautiful wild. flowers, and • berries. In flowers there are to be found pink swamp roses, yellow ox-eyes, bright cardinal flowers and sumac shading from gray into a rich maroon. The wild bramble-bush is here also, but we shall not follow the example of the “wise man” in “Mother Goose's Melodies.’’ The young people have been on the qui vive for several days in anticipation of a dance to be given in the’ dining-hall to-morrow evening. The cottagers: are to be the guests of some twenty couples of young gentlemen and ladies from Port Huron, headed by Mr. Harry Thompson, an old Indl ’ anian. The tally-ho coach Is a thriving institution. It makes several trips daily to Fort Gratiot, a mile distant, for the accommodation of the fguests of the beach. Port Huron is reached by street-cars from the: fort and one can do one’s shopping and reach the beach after an absence of only a few; hours. Parties are frequently made up to go' over to Sarnia, Canada, but it is remarked that they are heartily glad to get back to the refreshing breezes of our little city. The heat is so intense over there that one lady who went with a party a few days ago. has been prostrated ever since her return, and agrees with the majority, who assert that there is but one Huronia beach. Church privileges are enjoyed by those who desire to go to Port Huron, but the average cottager prefers a hammock and an interesting book. For genteel waiters, immaculate table service and good substantial meals, the dining hall under the management of Mr. Tilden carries off the palm. Those things are so rare at watering places that they are all the more highly appreciated. Last year there was great cause for complaint, but it cannot be so this season if the present condition of things remains. Among the arrivals as yet unannounced are Mrs. Chas. Flowers and children, Mrs. A. E. De Normandy, Mrs. H. Sucker and daughter, Miss McKenna. John Moore, Detroit; E. B. Taylor and family, Miss Kate V. Harrington. Mrs. Jane Wells, Port Huron; Mrs. M. B. Behney and daughter, Kansas City, Mo.; Miss Edith MoCrea, Miss Flora McCrea, Miss Bettine Araoss. Mrs. J W. Thompson, "Wabash, Ind.; Clarance Hyde, Ann Arbor; Miss W. Richmond, Malvern, Ark.;; W. A. Harrison, mother and sisters; Columbus, O.; Edith M. Oberly, Bloomington, 111.; M. Slusser and wife, Wauseon, O. Among the firstguests of the Beach was Dr. Smith, of Port' Huron, who is a brother of Mrs. Dr. Alabaster, of your city. The Journal is well and favorably known in ? this locality. One lady, an ludianian, expressed: herself to her husband (who has been a subscriber for years) in this wise: “That she feared he would not bo supremely happy when he reached Heaven unless he could have his Daily Journal.” The cottages, in their darkness and silence, appear like specters lining the beach. “Christian hours” are kept here, which, to those who aro notorious for devoting the larger part of the twenty-four hours to “Morpheus,” Is a decidedlygratifying custom. • f. h.

Mattoon’s Homing Pigeons. Newark, N. J.. July 23.—Nothing has been heard of the homing pigeons released at Mat toon, 111. The owners say they will not abandon hope of seeing the birds until five days have elapsed. He Has Bandy Legs. Now York Dial. It is just found out that, in spite of his fine head in lithograph, Governor Cleveland is not a handsome man; he is chunky and bandy. Never. Pitteburx Chronicle. This country can never feel the true independence belonging to a ropnblic while watermelons are thirty-five cents apiece. Few people understand how the small white onions, pickled, and sold in glass jars by grocery men, are grown. The same seed is used as for large onions,but it is sown thickly—say forty or more pounds to the acre, while to produce the large ones but- five or six pounds are sown. A rich block mold is best for onions. TEST YODR BAM POWDER TO-DAY!
