MB* The Pike Coaata Bemoorst has the largest etreelatloa af asy newspaper pabllthed la Fthe Coaatj I Advertisers will auks a aote af (hit fact! Thursday, Dec. 16, 1886* The Brookly Eagle says the next Presidential ticket of the Democrats wrill lie Clevlcand and Voorhces, and predict* their election. If tub State of Indiana the Democrats who staid at home during the last election numbered twenty-nine thousand two hundred and twelve. Bharae on yon. i Nelson M. Qi.tu.sn, who was defeated as tho Republican candidate for sheriff in Greaue county, wa•o down-hearted over the result that he took sick and died. M F It Is very suggestive that in every election recount in this Slate but one, the Democratic vole has been increased. It looks like there had been a concerted game of fraud attempted by the Republican*, as a st:rt of aid to ami uccompauiment of their still hunt. A RF.roitT says that during the past five years in India 100,000 people have died from the effect of snake bites. Why don’t some statistical crank find out how many people died in Amoriea in the same time from snakes without heingridtten at all? Here snakes kill their victims by getling into his hoots, crawling around the floor of his room, and coiling up under ids pillow. At the 7uneral~of~ ex-President Arthur, Hlainc refused to shake hands with Edmunds, Conkling refused to speak to Blaine, and Chau dlcr snubbed Haves. And a few days later, at a meeting of the Lincoln League, iu ludiampolis, Senator Harrison and ex-Governor Porter quarreled. Truly there is much happiness in the Republican family. “Incicase their courage, Lord.”

U the Democrats at Indiana want a wise, safe, and thoroughly honest loader—one who is respected by oven our political enemies—one who is in •very way fitted to succeed the late Vice President Hendricks—one who Is not identified wifh factional fight—one who can do more fltau any single mau to bring Democratic vie* i tory in 1888—lot them rally solidlv around Judge Win. E. Niblack and elect him United States senator. Seven {Republicans of Orange county, among them being the Sheriff and Auditor elect, have been arrested on Federal grand jury warrants charging them with illegal practices in connection with the November election. It will begin to dawn on the Republican mind after awhile that the time may come when the wrong doer should and will blanch iefore the stern face of justici and get put in jail. W

Althoituii Mr. Blaine won Id not •hake hands with Mr. Edmunds, we arc still sonstrained to compliment the latter upon a memorial introduced kijir him in the Senate yesterday. It asks a constitutional amendment which shall authorise one common law of marriage and divorce for the whole country. It is a trifle unpleasant for a man to travel with Ids wife and hnbics from Indiana to Pennsylvania, or from Massachusetts to New York, and And out, after a generation of quiet endurance, that lie is not married at all. He begius to wonder what ho is to get for the gentle forv^shearanee of the long years when he > labored under a different impression, f — i i The improved French method of pretervlng. wood by the application of lime is found to. work well, says a ^Lowrlter. The plan hr to pile the plauks JRu a tank, and to put over all a layer ^(Tof quicklime, which is gradually slaked with water, limiter for mines requires about a week to be thoroughly Impregnated, and other wood more or less time according toils thickness. The material acquires remarkable consistency and hardness, it is stated, on being subjected to this simple pro rats, and the assertion is made that it will never rot. Beech wood prepared in this wav for hammers, and other tools for Iron work, is found to acquire the hardness of oak, wi'liout parting with anv of lit* well-known elasticity or tougbueis, and it also lasts longer.

To Oar PYende, The season of renewals of newspaper subscriptions in now here. The Democrat expects a fair share of paitronntre because we feel that It la doeervod. Every effort is luaiie to pttbtish a good paper and to satisfy every subscriber that they arc getting value received for the money they pay for it and for the time spent in reading it.. The election is now over and for the next year there1 will be very little political matter, therefore the Democrat will have more space to devote to the news audtto more pleasant and profitable reading, and will so devote It. Every friend of the Democrat can, witli hut little exertion, extend its circulation, There fa not a subscriber but has a friend or neighbor whom lie can induce to subscribe. As its patronage is enlarged the Democrat will be correspondingly improved. Tims every reader :is helping himself while he is aiding the Democrat. ▲ Contrast. Lafayette Courier: According to the South, iu 1861 one bushel of corn would buy one pouud nails. In 1886 one bushel of corn will buy ten pounds of nails. In 1816 a pair of woolen blapfcets cost as much as a eow. In 1886 a cow will buy five pairs of woolen blankets, (a good cow will buy ten or twoutv pairs) In 1816 it required sixty-four bushuls of barley to buy one yard of broadcloth. In 1886 sixty-four bushels of barlev wilt buy thirty yards of broadcloth. In 1816 it took twenty dozen eggs to buy one bushel of salt. In 1886 twenty dozen eggs will buy teu bushels of salt. In 1816 it inquired one bushel of wheat to buy one yard of calico. In 1886 one bushel of wheat will buy twenty yards of calico. With these tigucs before them, who can justly claim that farm products are not improving. The outlook for the productions of the farm is certainly hopeful, Tlic^ farmer can exchange Ills crop for fnoro of the necessaries aud luxuries of life than at any former period iu the history of our eounrv. Let farmers take courage; what they produce will always bring money or a large equivalent iu needed -applies for the family. Another bond (?) Repnblicau Gone Glimmering. Mr. Peter H. Ragle, the retiring republican treasurer of Martin county, is reported $7,000short in bis accounts. Thisisthc amount already discovered, but it is thought that this is not all, as a complete investigation has not yet been made, but is in progress. Ragle says be does not know what went with the money. One of bis bondsmen is M. J. Carnahan, the Loogootec hardware merchant prince. Mr. Carnahan has furnished the money to make good the loss of $7,000 to the county, aud has taken notes from the other bondsmen to secure himself for their share of the loss. Tito shortage was discovered when his successor, Geo. W. Gates, took possession of the office. It is claimed that much of the money wan spent for elctioncoring purposes. At the recent campaign lie was the Republican candidate for Auditor, aud was beaten In Mike Tracy, Democrat, by a few votes. It is estimated that Kaglo spent $8,000 in the race for Auditor. There is considerable excitement in Martin couuty OTcr the matter, though, to many, the announcement of the shortage was not a surprise.

Editing a paper is a very nice busi ness and those who know nothing ’•bout it consider it a very easy busi* x**s. If we publish jokes people say we are rattle-headed, and it we omit jokes we are tohl we arc old and fossil. If we publish original matter they blame use for not giving selections, and if we publish selections folks say we are lazy for noit writtiug something they had not road in some other pa|»cr. Ignorant of what good editing is, people imagine the getting up oi selected matter to be the easiest thing in the world to do, where it is really the nicest work on the paper. If they find the editor with scissors in hand, they are sure to say : “Eh! that’s tinway yon get up original matter, eh ?’ accompanying their new and witty questions with an idiotic wink or smile. The facts are, that thelntereat, morality, the variety and usefulness of a paper depends in no small degree upon Its selected matter, and a fc\f m ut are capable of the position wli^ would not be able themselves to write many of the articles they select. A sensible editor desires considerable selected matter, because he knows that one mind can not in tke as good a paper as five or six. If we give a matt a complimentary notice, we are centured tor being partial, and if we fall to give complimentary notices, we are informed that we are a hog. If we insert articles that please tinladies the men are jealous, and if we do not eater Ur the wishes of the ladies, the pa|t«r in the dear ones’ opinion is not lit to make « bustle of. If we re* main in ottrofiice and attend to our business, folks say we are too proud to mingle with other fellows, blit if we go out, they say wc never attend to our buisness. If we wear old clothes it is insinuated that business is bad, and, if we wear good ones, they say we are extravagant. A newspaper and a newspaper editor that people don’t talk about and some times abuse are rather poor con* cents. The men and busiuess that an editor sometimes feels it a duty to defeud, at the risk < f making m -mlcs of another class, are often the very first to show ingratit ude. The editor who expects to receive much charity or gratitude will soon find out his mistake ; but he should go ahead and my and do wlmt lie couscieutlously lliiaks right, without regard to the frowns or smiles. 1

“A BIG BIFWRFX('K,”*-AXD JUST. An article which appeared in the News of last week under the above quoted title attempted tojustifV the new sheriff of the “new gang” for/ ; “turning the rnscnhi out,” by aoeus-|, lug Mr. Shrodc, ex-sheriff, of extra?** !, g a nee. The Grand Jury adjourned; the day after the new sheriffeaine into office, and had lieen in session some live or six days before. A careful , examination of the expenses as put up by The News shows that Mr. Shrodc lias been more economical titan Mr. Brumfield. Besides, the deputy’s work is governed by law, and cannot be any more extravagant than the law allows. If any one doubts that Brumfield's deputies got any less than the law allows, let them examiue the records. We can show and substantiate that Mr. Shrodc has been one of Pike couuty’s most economical sheriffs. Ilis enemies need not trouble: he is not expecting to run for office. Mn. Cooper for State Librarian. Mrs. Harriet E. Cooper, of Shelby county, is a candidate for State Librarian. .She is a lady in all respects and eminently worthy. She is the wife of Hon. Edmund Cooper, a staunch andaiways-to be relied-npon Democrat, and it was but by a hair’sbreadth she did not obtain the pos’tion two years ago. Mrs. Cooper is a working Democrat, faithfhl in all •hings and derelict in one. She rolled up her sleeves and worked for the Democracy of not only Shelby county, but that of the entircdistrict during the r*cent fight But, by the way, aside from her strong partisanship, Mrs. Cooper is in everyway compctaut. She is a lady of profound learning and book research. She has an intelligent penchant for matters pertai iug to State and natural history which would be of inestimable benefit in the offee ot State Librarian. Mrs. Cooper is a woman of extraordinary worth and strength of character, am' the Demock at desires to sec her obtain the position. Fight Between Rats and an Opossum. [From the Houston (Mo.) Herald .1 Mr. Young, a resident of Morris! township, reports an interests, fight which occurred under his rib one dav last week bet wee a drove of rat* ami an opo-sum. He was gathering corn an throwing it into the crib. II.> made two or three trips, and ea»h time heard a feaatul noise, which so closely resembled that evinced by a couple of fighting tom-eats that lie paid no attention to it. But the noise finally changed, and became more like the snarling of a lot of puppies, and he thought lie would look under the crib and discover the cause. To. Iiis surprise he saw a large drove of rats gnawing at the hams and legs of an* opossum, which was still alive and trying to get away. He seized a* cluli, drove the rats away, and dragged the opossum out. when the rats swarmed out after It, and would not relinquish their prey until at least half of their number had been killed. He then killed the opossum, which wqf still trying to drag itself around, after nearly halt its body had been '•aten off.

Che* nuts. The call to anus—“Joh uptake the baby."' A rousing demonstration—getting a growing boy out of bed. A merchant who gives no credit can heed the injunction, ‘-post no bills.” A printed sheet, although square, is called a circular, because it is inteudto go round. It is quite in keeping with the eternal tiiueas of things for a man who drinks corn whiskey to be a little huskey. An editor, iu acknowledging *ke gift of a peck of onion* from a sub scriber, says: “It is such kindness as this that brings tears to our eyes.” An End to Bone Scraping. Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., says: "Having received so mAh benefit from Electric Bitters, i leei it my duty to let suffering humanity know it. Have had a running sure ou my leg for eight years; my doctors told me 1 would have to liuve the bene scraped or leg amputated. 1 used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters amt seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well.” Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a buttle, and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve at lie. per box by Adams & Sun

A New lnntt*i. While wending our wav.to a school louse, in Lockhart township, op last [Friday, to attend to official duty, we 'nine up to a boy and a gentleman lining a team. The man appeared :o be about fifty years old. , “IIow far to Rock Creek School Jf’ ive asked. “Four miles, anyhow, three;” said >ur pleasant gentleman. “Can I get there by any closer way hail going around ?” “No,” said he, “and if you will ;n along with us I will show you the way. If you will not travel too fast, t will ride with you.” We invited the gentleman into onr jnggy, and he accordingly took a seat Lvlth us. He looked at us, and we ooked at him. Natural inquisitive* less led to conversation which disposed the business of both paities, md which made us sorry when the road forked. His conversation disposed to us that he is thornnghlv scientific, and that he'Sfccnis to have ipent a lifetime grappling with some >f the most difficult problems of tills »ge. He wanted to know if w* ar* interested in the science, and on» be* iii'jr Informed that we fove to 'learn tnything which will, ad^ to the tlttfm are know, he urged upon; us to rfetuarn to bis home and remain with 'him luring tlte day. Business prevented ; but he rsocepted a promise that we would return' to his house in the eve* niug and remain over night with him. This we did. Our first, surprise an entering his house was a. collection pt house and-tropica) plants. Of these we may mention two tig trees, and two lemon trees. On flie two lenten trees we counted fifty lemons from the size of a pea to the fully grown lemon. We say fully grown, and we suppose they are, for nine of them arc the largest lemons wo have ever seen. Here we may as well introduce this unexpected gentleman as Mr. F. A. Grcatz, whose kindness and hospitality is seldom, if ever, excelled. He told us that we would not he sorry if we would stop with him, and we must sav that we are truly glad that we have met Mr Grentz. even if it was accidental. That Mr. 'Gres z is a scholar and a e-;tinman, no one w Up is capable of judging will, deny. The ilex' surprise iva- his inveni tons. M Cr - z cents to coin him ihe poetic, the sei n fie, and the in venlive powers. He ha- invented an apparatus which he calls “The Geographical i'ime Sheet.**■ It consists of a map of the Western Hemisphere placed under an apparatus so arranged as to show the |iosition of the earth in the Zodiac, and to- enable one to solve anv of the ordinary questions relating to astronomical geography. Besides the Geographical Time Sheet he has invented two other appnratl;pnc which ho calls The Geographical Dial, and anothet The School Instructor, or Altimeter. Sp- e forbids giving a full dcscr'puon of all these inventions. To describe- them and their working in full would require a volume of mi -mall dimensions. By means of these inventions one can tell in a very few minutes the position of the sun 01 moon in the heavens; he can find the real time, apparent time, clork time, astronomical &c, for any poiut on I he earth. In a few minutes, by a simple appliance. Hccaifexplaiu thcchauge? of the seasons, tin cause of day ami night, and why the Tropics and Polot Circles are placed where they are In short, he can solve any of the ordinary problems relating to time or tc the motions of the heavenly bodies, Of course eclipses are excepted. These inventions would be of greal benefit in post-offices. We predict that these instruments will some day come into almost universal use* The only thing necessary to make them ti grand success is to manufacture them and offer them to the public. If we had the money we would not be afraid to give them a trial. Mr Gre tz's work i- recommended by the Slate Superintendent of Ohio, and by many others of like ability. Mr Greats’* inventions will some day de the world a great deal of gooel. We bid hi in God speed, and hope that his inventions will soon be in use in all the schools and colleges of thh country.

Scrofula of Lungs Believed. I am now 49 years old, and have suffered for the last flfteeu years with a lung trouble. Several members of the family on my mother’s side of the house hod died with consumption, aud the doctors were all agreed In their opinion that I had consumption also. I had all the distressing symptoms of that terrible disease. I have spent thousands of dollars to arrest the march of this disease; I have employed all of the usual methods, not only In my own ease, bnt In the treatment of other members of my family, but temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was unlit for any manual labor for several years. By chance I came into possession of a pamphlet on “Blood and Hkin Diseases,” from the office of Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Qa. A friend recommended the use of Swift’s Specific, claiming that he htmSelf had been greatly benelitted by Its use in some lung troubles. I resolved to try It. About four years ago I commenced to take 8,8. 8. according to directions I round It ah invigorating tonic, and have used about lift)- bottles. The results are most remarkable} My cough has left me. my streugtli has returned, and I weigh sixty pounds more than I everdid In my life. It has been three years since I stopped the use of the medicine, but I have hod no return of the disease, and ‘ re are i lungs} I do the hardest kind of mechanical work,' and feel as well as I ever felt since I was a boy. These, I know, are wonderful statements to make, bnt I am honest when 1 ■».v that I owe my existence and health to-day to Swift’s Specific. It is the "only medicine that brought me any permanent relief. I do not say that Swift’s Specific will do this in every case, but most positively r.ffirm that It has done this much for me, and I would be recrcnnt to the-duty I owe to suffering humanity if I tailed to bear this cheerful testimony to the merits of this wonderful medicine.
