~ m Ttoere were a few quarrelsome men nproi the streets Saturday night, but no fight occurred on account of politics. “Spirits” caused some little disturbances. The fight on Commissioners was shade for an ecouomica! administration of eouuty affairs. Messrs. Abbott and Reedy represented the reform movement. “Acres of people” were the words so often used iu writing up the political meetings. * How many times was it correct? for it takes 25,000 people well packed to fill an acre. The Evansville trick of pushing Blaine badges to the front on the occassion of a Democratic rally was done here Saturday. But then those partisans made nothing by it. Mrs. Fanny Chance, of this county, is reported to be a pensioner in the Revolutionary war. If so she certainly ought to have a pension, but what chance does she have of gettirg oue? Trial proves that honesty is the best policy in medicine as well as in other things. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is a genuine preparation, an unequalled blood purifier, decidedly superior to all others. Four years ago last Thursday all the railroads were obstructed by snow and telegraph lines were prostrated by the storm. The first suow of1883 feil on October :29th. Cold weather is holding off well this year. Our gnests wore hospitably entertained by Democratic families on Saturday, and every visitor was delighted with the trip and the generous treatment received. They found the latch string on the outside. A man ought never to make an election bet with his wife. If he loses he gets bull ragged, and if ho wins he won’t find a button on his shirt for six weeks. This is the opinion of Bro. Scott ltav, of the Shclbyville Democrat. A farmer recently met with a narrow escape from being ground to death ti nder the wheels of a train of cars at Sandy Hook. Ho was attempting to cross the track with a team, and did uo| notice an approaching train. Sectiou men rescued him and horses from instant death.— Washington Jacksonian, 31st nit. Patronize your home merclian ts and dealers, and by so doingeuhance both his interest and your own. -Money spent' at home goes to develop the business interests of your own community ; money taken*or sent abroad for the purchase of articles that can as well he had at home is so much lost from the working capital of the city or town yon inhabit. Readi ng time is at haud. The evenings are steadily growing longer, the chilly weather. compels more hours to be spent in-doors, and the season's work is being gradually closed up. Among tke necessities of the time is a supply of reading matter of the best quality. Any provisions of this kind should begin with sending ♦1.25 to the Democrat for a year’s subscription.

A party was given at the residence of William Parker Tuesday evening in houoT of Miss Lizzie Bedell, who was the £uest of Mrs. Parker. Every one presaut enjoyed themselves to the utmost. Music, dancing, and various games was the order of the evening. Refreshments were served at a proper hour. The guests departed near midnigh1, thanking the hostess for the pleasant entertainment. Dr. J. W. Bergen met with a painful accident last Monday. He received a severe cut on the knee from a piece of glass, that member coining iu contact with a large piece with considerable force, while he was at work iu the drug store, and resulted in a wound from which the blood flowed profusely. The Doctor was coufiued to h&shoine for a day orso, but is able to he on duty again, though yet limping from the iujury received. When a person is fa* away from home thareis nothing that brings so much gladness to the heart as a letter from loved ones. Now, a newspaper is nothing more than a letter— a large midget of news—and everyone having friouds at a distance should gladdeu their hearts by sending them a copy of their home paper each week. It will be a present that will carry joy with it and awakeu old and familiar recollections. Send the Demociu.t to your absent friends. Prof. Juhu Grin ten, who had-been teaching short-hand iu this city for the past two weeks, leaves this afternoon for Petersburg, to organize a class there. Prof. Grinton was very successful here aud had a good Class, lie is a perfect gentleman, a good teacher, and has a simple, but very complete method of short-hand. We can rcecommeud the gentleman to the people of Petersburg.—[Washington Gazette. Those interested iu the studv of short-hand had better see Mr. 6rin ton without delay. On Wednesday, the 29th inst., Miss Laura G. Scndder, of Washington, and Mr. John L. Winston, of Cincinnati, were married at Washington. They have friends in this place who join with us in wishing them a pleasant and prosperous future. We clip the following from the Gazette: “Mr. Wiuston is a traveling salesman and represents the grocery house of Miuor & Dixon, Cincinnati. He is a manly, intelligent gentleman aud has many warm and true friends among the business men of this city. He is upright in habits and a perfect gentleman in every respect. The bride is one of the beautiful daughters of Dr. and Mrs.. J. A. Scndder and is one of the most handsome and intelligent ladies of this city. The Gazette joins with her many friends in best wishes for a happy and joyous future.” A shooting affray occurred near Fifth and Main streets Saturday night (luring the speaking. Jim Young was shot in the fleshy part of the arm by Enoch Easter. Young defended himself with a ear-pin, striking Easter some hard blows upon the head. Neither one was seriously hurt. The quarrel commenced in the morning and was kept up at intervals daring the day with the above result at night. Easter escaped after the shooting and went out to his home where fis was captured Sunday evening by the Town Marshal and Mir Young, a brother of Jim Young, ter a hot chase.

Indeed, he thinks it is a mission of the local to make his fortune for hint by ‘free blowing.’ He will take the local to one side and point out the su)>erior qualities of a rat terrier dog, aud coolly ask him to ‘give him a hoist.’ He don’t care anything about it, only Sprigging lias’a dog which he thinks is a ouster, aud some of ’em.wanted his ‘put in’ just to ‘take the conceit out of Sprig”ins.’ Everybody wants to be ‘put in.

“Uow magnificent?” “How beautiful!” These are the exclamations heard from many, who viewing the western sky after the sun has disappeared, are captivated by its grandeur and beauty of coloring, says the New Albany Ledger. This fiery appearance of the western sky after sundown, which excited much attention and wonderment in ail quarters of the world last year has recently again become a conspicuous phenomenon. Last evening, in particular, the skies glowed with splendid shades of red and crimson, and so brilliant was the display that some persons thought a great fire was raging. Long after the sun had disappeared a lurid red light hung over the western horizon, while the darkening heavens overhead reflected a Hunt tinge of pink. Similar displays have been witnessed at intervals ever since last winter, and that they are due to the same cause which produocd the astoidddng red skies of a year ago Is rendered probable by the presistanoe of another phenomenon Which made its appearance at the same time with the original red glows. This is the halo which can be seen surrounding the. sun on any clear day, and which has not lost any of its intensity during the twelve moahs that have elapsed slnae it was first notioed. It is a singular proof of the lack of attention paid to some of the plainest appearancesof nature, says the New York Sun, even by men whose lives are devoted to the study of natural science, that the question has been raised by well known savants whether these sun parents really are unusual phenomena. On this point there can be no longer any doubt . It is certain that the red glows referred to, and the curious appearance around the sun in the day time, are not ordinary aspects of the sky. The nnchangeableness of one of these phenomena and the Intermittent appearance of the other rentier difficult the attempt to account for them by a single cause, and yet there are many circumstances which tend to show that they have a common origin. The explanation which has been most widely accepted, namely, that the appearances in question are due to the presence in the atmosphere of the fine dust thrown out by the volcanie explosion in the East Indies a year ago last summer, la open to many objections, although it has also many circumstances to support it. One of the most serious objections to this hypothesis is furnished by the reappearance of the red glows several times after they had almost or quite disappeared. After the suppositious dust had once settled to the earth it would be difficult to account for its reascent to a height of many miles, even by the magical aid of electricity, which serves as a convenient wonder-worker for so many obscure theories. But whatever the cause of the strange sights in the heavens may he—whether it is meteoric dust from the star depths, or volcanic dust from the bowels of dte earth, or no dust at all, hut the operation of forces Inherent in the atmosphere itself—it is pretty clear by this time that it threatens no peril to the dwellers upon the earth, as has been asserted by some of the same soothsayers who declared that the world was likely to come to an end, or the human race to be annihalated in 1881, on account of the terrors of the perihelia and the revelations of the pyramid of Cheops. The great dry fog of 1788, which produced appearances similar to those recently witnessed, caused, it is said, various epidemic diseases among men and animals; but the present phenomena are evidently due to causes which have no effect upon the salubrity of the atmosphere, and so there is nothing to detract from the pleasure which all who delight in the splendid spectacles of nature must derive from beholding them.

LAST RALLY. GREATEST MEETING ETEB HE ,1) IN PIKE COUNTY. 7,000 to 8,000 EuthnsiasUc People in Town on Saturday, Not. 1. The Music, Speeches, Torchlight Procession and the Fire-works.. The town was full of Democrats last Saturday aud the woods (at the fair grounds) was ftall of them. The houses here were decorated, and bunting was profusely displayed. The Democratic rooster was on his highest perch, aud the town was taken by the crowd. The Democracy of the township turned out in force from every township, and they were ably assisted in “painting things" by the solid Democrats of Dubois, Daviess and Kuox counties. They seemed to have a hogshead of paint (as the Democrats of so many cities have had) and with a new brush, the town was painted red. On the’early traiu came the Washington Kid Band (young in years but old iu music), the Washington glee club, composed of accomplished ladies and gentlemen, and a large number of citizeus. Delegations headed by excellent bands and glee clubs came from the townships of the county and frfttn Dubois and Knox counties. The processions paraded the principal streets in tho tnoruiug, aud the Republican turnout of a ftew weeks a«o was mere

child'8 play compared to it. In the afternoon a crowd of about 6,000 people assembled at the fair grounds. Judge O. M. Welborn was the first speaker, and in his calm and dignified manner spoke for about an hour, having the closest attention throughout. Hon. John H. O'Neal!, of Washington, delivered an able tariff speech, which every ouc pronounced the most clear and explicit address on that subject they had ever heard. Hon Itobt. W. Goode, of Missouri, followed Mr. O’Neall and kept the crowd in a hilarious mood by his wit and humor. _ The meeting adjourned amidst music by the glee clubs and bauds apd the greatest of euthusiasm. At night the excitement was intense. It knew no bounds. The torchlight procession, bands and glee clubs passed through the crowded streets, marched anti counter-marched, and the people greeted them with waviug handkerchiefs and wild cheers. Everyone iu the procession cheered in return to the lookers-on. Fire-works and colored lights along the line of march added to the demonstration. The music was almost uiiheard in the noisy crowd of 300 torch-bearers and the hundreds iu liue wjjo marched without torches. On the corner of Seventh and Main streets. Hon. E. A. Ely and Hon. Wm. F. Townsend made rattling speeches to the crowd, which were received with applause. Every sentence of the speakers was cheered. The evening was one long to be remembered by all taking part. The bands in attendance besides the Kid Band of Washington were the Jasper and Winslow bands and a “jaybird” band from Knox county, and all discoursed splendid music. The glee chibs were—Washington, Nashville and a juvenile one from Kuox. Here’s to the glee clubs 1 Bless them for their noble work. The speakers and all connected with the management of the details of the rally deserve praise for giving the uuternfied Democracy a chance to close the campaign in such a blaze of glory.
