A dispatch from New Foundland says the coil fishery will not be more than two-thirds of last year. Greeley says this is owing to the unusually dry season, and advises the fishermen to plough deeper or else go West.— Indianapolis Journal. Anybody who heard Mr. Greeley at the Lafayette Fair a year or two ago will conclude that the Journal has been “bribed with British gold” to circulate false reports to prejudice the people against Greeley politically—all know he would advise those poor fishermen, not to plough •deeper, as the Journal invidiously reports, but to “irrigate, you d—d fools, irrigate! irrigate /” j The papers have all got to calling the Continental railroad which is being built through Rensselaer the “Sundown- Railroad.” ilenr is what a recent number of the Lowell Star has to remark aboat it: - “A dispatch from Fort Wayne, of October 17th, says the Sundown Railroad »s progressing rapidly. This road will he a direct airline from New York to Omaha, with a branch to Chicago, making llie distance 117 miles less between Chicago and Tiffin tnan the Michigan Southern and Wabash line, and 128 miles shorter than the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad to New York. The Central Construction Company have contracted for building the entire road. There is now a large corps of men ou the line. Grading and tracklaying is being pushed with vigor.”

Hon. Sidney Keith, of Rochester, Republican candidate for district elector for the llth district of In dir ana, addressed an audience of about on e bundled persons in th e Court House last evening, for nearly two hours. His review of the political issues which aro to be decided next Tuesday was dignified and pointed. It was a good speech, trnthful and suggestive, and one that Was appreciated by the Republican portion of his-audience. Mr. Keith is a plain, honest, straightforward man, and his opinions have, great influence wifb that kind of people who consider facts aDd care little about fancies. The Remington Journal is a little late with its issue this week on account of an accident which befel its editor* As he was going down the stairs leading from his office to the street, he stepped on one of his ears the corner of which had slipped out of liis hoot top, where the proprietor thought he had securely tucked it as is his custom, which precipitated him violently down three or four steps. Fifteen square yards of court plaster was required to dress that ornamental appendage besides what was used for other rips and bruises, but we are happy to add, at last accounts the gentleman waa “doing as well as could be expected.”

There is an old story that once when the world was younger and its inhabitants fewer, all the people met in mass convention and resolved that on a specified day and hour each would shout as loud as he could. When the time approached for the experiment everybody came out of their houses, stores and shops and stood upon the street corners to witness what havoc to property and buildings such a united volume of noise would make. As the momcnt hrrived each forgot what he was to do, or thought there would be enough without him and that his effort would never be missed ■ tr. - from the mighty roar, except one feeble, toothless, old w'oman, who ottered a shrill, quavering scream and that was all the noise heard. There is a moral in this fable which is commended to the consideration j of every Republican voter in Jasper county, and' that is, if each depends npoa wbat his neighbor is going to do and aeglects his own part there will be nothing done. If every Bejjtblican in Jasper county |rill vote next Tuesday we can give Grant five hundred majority.
