‘ TheChieago Democrat. A fey weeks ago the first number of The Chicago Democrat was issued by Geo. W. Ruat, an experienced editor. The paper has already given.evidence of its ability to supply a want long felt by the De; mocracy of thé north-west —that is,.a, reliable Democratic paper in Chicago. ‘The T'imes had long since ceased to be a Democratic organ, or an exponent and defen- ! der of the principles and policies of the Democratic pnrh‘y, but is used as a means of furthering the eelfish ends of W. F. Storey, its editor; We want.a véu_lper that will qf?' least be consistent with-itself; which® will net advccate negro suffrage one day, and some other ism the next; and will not be ,used. as a'means of avenging the_persbrind grievances of the ,édmt-«%_ Such a paper as we need we believe the new paper ‘will be, { Mr. Rust announces that the publication of-the Democrat, which has so_far been a weekly paper, wilk be discontinued until about the 15th of August, to enable the editor to perfect arrangements for the publication of a first-class city daily when the regular weekly issue will be re_sumed e . . As a Chicago daily is a necessity tomany of our readers, we hope théy will give the Democrat a respectful hegring.— Plymouth Democrat. . ‘ Jiees ot e ey / Semnsible English Customs. { ' Among the many absurd there are some sensible customs in England that might be profitably ' introduced into our Ameri can life. An English servant never slams a door, but puts it to with hand upon it; never throws the window up or down, but raises or lets it fall deliberately; never addresses you without a bow or courtesy, and never, or very rarely, becomes rude, no matter how great the provocation.— Again no Englishman ever eats or drinks in a hurry. The tossing off the glass:of spirits or pint of ale is an American innovation as much as bbolgng half gmst,ig cated food. ;%lg__‘fie;;{:wma 1 in bis hodden ' frock and iron shod brogans requires his time to sip his ale; the wretches who flaunt their charms in the gaslight glare of the gin palage, and drown their sor rows in its poisons, linger over the glass; .and the cab-mzn. no matter how great your hurry, whose good will you bribe by a pot of * half and-half,” stares as you hasten ' him to drink it at a gulp, and ‘wonders at ‘“‘the manners of them fur Tiners.” e a 5 b 2

° Thie “Contested Seat Fraud’”—What it ‘ Costs. [ During the past thirteen years Congress has paig outpgte" the Nntigngl Tretgury $173,596 to contestants, who were, by the’ decision of the body, declared not - tohave the slightest ground for claiming a seat, and no more claim upon the people's money for a dollar than have the Fenians for the expense.incarred in the late foray. From the beginning of the war, when the Repuablican party attained such a power fub numerical ascendency in Congress and ' party rancor was €o rampant, a Republican contestant cauld oust a Demo crat by only asking for it. It should be! borne in mind that the sum above’does | not cover the amount pain to those who | were successful claimants, but was applied exclusively to concihating the drooping souls-who could not, without, a tramp-. ling down of all regard to right, decency or justice, be admitted to the privileges ot in M.

- odinlioCTulle B W nheok pon - Owing totrouble tWe Radical party at Indianapolis, certain discontented ¢pirits ‘cocludet that they mnep bafd an opposition paper. They contributed liberally to the Z%mes, and for a time it was a spicy and brilliant shegt, but as usua] in such cases, if wagl disz red zlfifi 4¢ odk digre money and work to run a paper than the parties suppoggh agxthe irom il out,” and passed in the following obituary notice : : In his famous story of **Mose the Sassy,” A. Ward tells ugfof a'stiblire utterstice by a man whose head had been cut off by the pirate: ¢Oh, that I should live to see mygelf beheaded.” We have indeed shared the fate of that unfortunate individual. A few weeks ago we experienced a groundswell of a reformatory character. We felt that reformation wag necegsaty, ‘We gonversed with ‘several of our.friebds, and they just felt as we did.” The enthusiasm was strong and deep, and we felt that we néeded a newspaper to give ‘eéxpresgion to our:feelings. Our friends told us to go in, and we went. We were not especially: devoted to reform, but we wanted business. Things went on swimmingly, ‘and would have continued so, but our friends stood by us. In fact, they steod by us too much, and did nothing else.— Having experienced too much of the ‘stand ‘by,” we decided to resign. It is a very pretty ‘custom, adopted hereabouts, which gays that a man has ‘“retired” when he is discharged from a place, or fails in business. We have retired from the ‘“reform business.” We retire gracefully, though. The -brilliancy of our career has only oeen equaled by .its brevity. But weqretirs with one piece of knowledgé we never possessed before. We are fully satisfied that we ‘are competent to cloge the affairs of any paper on the shortest notice. The business mgnagement of the paper would have been eminently successful, but thero wasn’t any business to manage. For our reform friends we have only an affectionate and tender {arewell, with one word of advice : give up the reform business. It don’t pay. We speak from experience in this matter. The ¢dear people” don’t want reformation. It they do, let them get it by action, and not by silly, childigh complaints.

A friend who has madetheexperiment informs us thatby boring holes in the tree nearly to the heart and filling them with sulphur the work of the borers will cease, The theory is that the eirculation of the sulphur through the sap of the tree is distasteful to the worms, and they at once abandon the distructive work. The holes bored should be plugged up with a piece of cork or soft wood. Pry.it. Its efficacy is vouched for by some of the best men in the city.—ZLaporte Argus.

THERE avre many persons. who either take no paper at all or take one from some town or city at a distance, and when they want to see what is taking place around them, they borrow the local paper from gome friend who is more enterprising and liberal than themselves. They are ‘‘too poor to subseribe for the paper,” and all they care_about anyhow, is ¢4just to see what the editor has too say.”

' A great many of our Democratic friends are doing what they can to add names to our list of subseribers, and they are mecting with excellent success. It only rvequires 4 little effort, and they cheerfully work for what they know to be for the best int W o & 53k s interests of the !""‘V‘ i f;-:;;%i:;ém;?; Porter County,jmfi"hfflifi%of the best spanof mules in Northern Indiana.— Vidette. s Portergounty oughttg‘?’e good mules, Judging from the large n.dgaal majority in the county the patermal: progenitors of mules are plenty over there. - : TuE editor of the South -Bend Register, who attended the Wanatah Convention, states that he found it difficult to find any Whisky there.
