The Bcpublicun organization was perfect. Didn't ‘‘boodle? materially aid the fusion ticket ? The scrateher was abroad in tl»c land: I lit to, boodle. No such desperate work was done before by the opposition in this county. __ ,Gov, Gray has Issued a proclamation prohibiting the importation of cattle from Chicago into Indiana.

The Philadelphia Press says: “ Tlie wasp that stung Mr. Gladstone will be mentioned in history. Larger insects have tried In vain to sting their way into fame.” In every township in the county ■ Democrats were found working on election against the Democrat ticket. Our Kepttblican friends should take off their liats to these gentlemen! Ocu payment of pensions to soldiersand sailors this year will he $7t5,750,000, while the aggregate payment of stll the other nations of the world combined is considerably less than $Go,ooo,eoa I’rrrnucANS, Nationals and disaffected Democrats were strong, on election day, and detested one of the best tickets ever presented by the Pike county Democracy for the support of the people*

Disaffection among (he Democracy in every comity in the district, growing out of the Boonville convention, defeated Hon. J. E. McCullough, and otherwise injured the county tickets, causing bickerings and trad•it g». „_ Hec etaky Daman has decided that •** a woman who makes a lomestead entry and subsequently man it s before comidetiug the same, does not forfeit her right thereby to acquire title to the land.” This reverses Commissioner Sparks’ decision. In making his will, leaving his cm tire estate to his widow and making hertheadministatrix, the late Thomas A. Hendricks failed to pruvid) for his mother, and that lady has pro’tested against any further precedingin the settlement of the question, ami makes claim to her share. •Tiir number of business failure* continue to decrease, the difference ol liabilities amounting to twenty millions in nine months as -compared with last year. This is convincing evidence, if it were needed, of renewed prosperity. Those deluded fellow* who worlcd themselves into the foolish notion, two years ago, that a change of administration would produce genera) ruin, ought to brace u| ami join with the neopie lu applauding the good dot e.

(RIME. “Crimes move in groups,* says a philosopher. “When garroitng was j first practiced, we heartl of more cases ! of robbery by that pi'oedw than or ail ; nil other serious offenses, that Is, felonies of n higher grade than larceny, together. W hen a suicide lit few himself off the column Ycndomo a half dozen followed in as many months." A fool jumped o»it of the world from lirookl n bridge and another fellow from hardihood and the police arc at once alert to prevent more such mad leaps. A not her ad vonturuns foot goes down Niagara rapids and whirlpool in a barrel and then two proposed to go down in another barrel, while a third goes down with ills head out of a barrel, and now there is a serious project of descending the great flails in some sort of projecting apparatus. At thg same character is the tendency to follow a leader of offense In flocks arc the New York “ hoodies,” and the

embezzlements ot cashiers ana trusted agents with spceulafiveOeiiftencics. We hear of a ease of the latter grade of crime almost every day somewhere, and an escape to Canada with stolen trust funds is at oneo the standing joke and shame of the country. We have hardly got over otir astonish-] meut of the embezzlement by ouo Indianapolis man iu Chi.ago of a quarter of a million, than we hear of another embezzeling half as much in Indiana. Frauds, defalcations,embezzlements, forgeries, and perjuries by men Iteldofhigli repute,have been of almost weekly oecurrenec iu the last year or tv o. The papers and tlte Recording Angel's pages are crowded with them. Now every ease is qnalitied by the alleged motive of repair{ing losses in speculations, which ate I hoped to pay back the means of roparj ation. In ten years before the last two there were not as many eases ot the same grade. Fifty years ago a similar epidemic of crime bioke out among fedora! officers in charge of large sums of government money. Crimes, like meteors, move iu groups and cycles. The periodic and gregarious. The latest and the only gratifying^ instance is the suicide accompanying the murder of a wife or mistress. Wejireatthe first of this group and cycle, so far as we know, but not at the end probably. The wild man is coming to the front this fall. A Maiue newspaper of repute says that one ten feet high was recently killed one huudird miles North of Moosehead Lake. He had previously killed one of throe hunters and the other two got reinforcements and stew the giant, who was covered with long brown hair. These also comes trout Topeka, Kansas, an account of the capture of a wild family, consisting of a man and woman and two children. They also had much hair on their faces a»d bodies, and the account says that on the top of the heads of the man and woman were evidences that they had been scalped. The theory advanced is that they were captured and seal pod1 by Indians, and then escaped and became insane. The Chicago marriage lottery, a new matrimonial scheme, has been introduced into Texas. Every purchaser of a ticket is supposed to send an accurate description of ids or her personal appearance, which is recorded opposite the number of the ticket issued. Recently William Carothers —a bachelor—of Atascosa county, Texas, seventy years of age, and worth at least $50,000 in sheep and lands, drew a t eket that had description of Mrs. N. M. Kaiser a sixty-four year old widow of Stevens Point, Iowa. They corresponded and the result was that lie sent for her and they were married in the Central Hotel ii San Antonio within twenty minutes after j her arrival.

For Instance, you cull fora cigar, the dealer takes a handful from a box, spreads | them out before voh, and after you j have selected what you want he re- ! turns the remainder to the box.

That 160, and that $28.40! Tho Press of last week wanted to know what the editor of the Democrat did with that $50 he drew for conducting the county institute. In Rnswer^jve will say the editor of the Democrat did not draw any money for an institute. The County Super-intendent-dipow #50, which was properly ajipronrialed. Not an assistant who'workety in that institute will sav otherwise. They know wlrst became of the money, for they trot it,,. Moreover, no one believes they ever made any such inquiry of the'Press man, for two reasons: 1. They are not liars;and, 2d, they are not fools. For them to say that something has been misappropriated would be falso; and for them to go to the Pressmans for any information would be the bight of folly, as they could find where tho #50 is by going to the superintendent’s record. From these considerations we believe that the Press man manufactured the whole matter concerning these hones teachers. True, ho may have had help in making an effort against one whose highest crime is being a contemporary of tho Press man’s. He again tvies to malign the j roprietor ot' this paper by seriously lamenting for him the fact that “prove” was made “propose” by the often occurring typographical error. Kvery act is based upon an underlying principle. The fruit of the act depends upon the nature of the principle. Since the principle upon which the insinuations of the Press man is falsehood, and since falsehood destroys itself, we doubt very much whether tho Press man can succeed by such innuendoes as are so sweet to him. If the Press man himself wants to know where that #50 is, he can find out by calling at the Superintendent's office. We would offer, as a suggestion, that lie takes along a written explanation of why he swore that Pike county owed him $23.40, not a cent of which hoover earned by any process whatever.

BKAITIFIL SENTIMENT. A Letter to a Young Lad; on the Etc of Marriage. One sometimes finds a <j«h» among the castaways of the forgotten years. The following congratulatory letter to a young lady on the eve of marriage is venerable, but good : “I am holding some pasteboard in my hands—three stately pi lickings from the bush of ceremony, I am gazing upon a card and upon a name— a name with which your gentle life began, a name with which your throbbing heart w as lost. There is nothing strange about that card. The maiden sign still looks up from it calm and customary, as it looks on many a formal basket. .“1 am gazing, too, upon a card where the nearer parent tells the world she will he 'at hi me one day,’ and that is nothing new. liut there is another card whose mingling there put a tongue of lire into that speechless pasteboard. It tells us tha* these cards are but the heralds of a coating crisis when a hand that has presses) friends’ hands, and plucked flowers shall close down on one to whom she will be a friend and flower forever after. “I send yon a few flowers to adorn the dying moments of your single life. They are the gentlest type of a delicate, durable friendship. They spring by one’s side when others have deserted it, and will ho found watching over our graves when those who should have been there have forgotten us. ‘•It seems meet that a past so calm and pure as yours should expire with a kindred sweetness about it; that flowers and nutsie, kind incuds and earnest words should consecrate the hour when a sentiment is passing into a sacramen*. “The three great stages of otir being are birth, the bridal and burial. To the first we bring only weakness; for the last we have nothing but dust, lint here at the altar, where life joins life, the pair come throbbing tip to the holy ntan, whispering the deep promises that arms each with the other heirt to help on in the life struggle of care and duty. “The beautiful w ill be there, borrowing new beauty front the scene— the gav aud the frivolous will look solemn for once, and youth will come to gaze on all that its sacred thoughts pant for—and age will totter up to hear the old words repeated over again, that to their own lives have given tlie charm. Some will weep over it as if it were a tomb; some will laugh as if it were a joke; but two .must stand by it, tor it is fate, not fun. this everlasting locking of their lives. “And now, can vou, with have queened it over so many liended forms, come down a last to the" frugal diet of a single heart ? Hitherto yjou have boon a clock, giving your time to all the world. Now you are a watch buried in one particular bosom, marking i nly hours and ticking only to the beat of bis heart, where time and feeling shall be in union until these lower ties are lost in that higher wedlock where all hearts are united around the great central heart of a 1.”

THE CKOI\ Weekly Summary of the Chleago Farmers’ Review. Chicago, October 31.—The Farmops’ lloviow in last week’s issue printed the following crop summary : More complete returns from the corn belt do not materially change the averages of the yieid in various States ascertained from husking than these indicated from scattering couutics last week.
