OcToBER-We have always loved this
month, and in our country it is season
for poets and painters TO revel in. Octo-
Der is the very time to enjoy the animated
crowds of city life, and 1t is time to ad-
mire Gods marvels in the country, as he
works his wondrous change from summer
to winter, and scatters over the face of ma
ture rainbow veil to conceal the effects
of decays etfacing fingers" as he would
strew forget me-nots over the grave of the
flowers. October may oe sharp and even
cold TO us, but we love it for its laughing
skies, its gorgeous sunsets, and the bracing
tone of its morning salutations. 1t paints
the cheek of beauty to make it look more
like the rose, and it anmates the step of
manhood as if by a new infusion of natural
vigor. We may in the spring-tim have
flirted with coquettish April. with flowers
in her hair and tresses flowing in tile ver-
nal breeze; but October, with her queenly
gait, wreathed with the purple glories OF
the vine, her train borne by Exercise and
Spirit; clothed in rare and dazzling tints;
her eye all amination and her Steps all
grace-she is our maturer love, and we
want to die with her. "Die AS the leaves
do, that fall in October" Beautiful in the
country, where fields and forests glow like
many colored fires, and even beautiful in
the city, which, providenlially, is "open at
the top" to let in the glories of these ce-
rulean skies and the crisp breezes of early
autumn, till the "benediction of the "cov-
ering Heaven fails like dew"

Illinois Election.

A friend at our elbow asks us our opin-
ion of the result of the election in Illinois
next Tuesday. Well. we are not very
prone to look too favorably for success in
advance of an election, and as there is no
capital to be made by boasting at this time,
our own contest being past and our victory
complete, we will give our opinion in the
premises.
First, then, we think the Republicans
will carry the State by at least l o, 900 ma
jority, with fair prospect of doubling
that figure. In the second place, we think
the Republicans will elect sac out of the
nine Members of Congress. And in the
third place, we think they will carry the
House of Representatives by good ma
jorty, but fear they will fail to secure
majority of the Senate. This apprehen-
sion is founded on the fact that of the 25
Senators, twelve hold over from last year,
and eight of them are Democratic. Con-
sequently, to secure the Senate, the Re-
publicans must carry nine of the thirteen
Senators to be elected. This we think they
could easily do if the State was fairly dis
tricted; but as it is, we fear they cannot
The avowed object, Of both the Douglas
and Buchanan factions, is to secure Jfoe
of the Senators to be elected, and no matter
which faction-they belong to. uniting with
those holding over they will refuse to go
into the election of SenatLr at all, and
thus prevent the election of Lincoln, the
Republican candidate. This is their last
desperate game, having no hope of electing
either Douglas. ora Buchanan man. They
may thus prevent the State FROM being
represented. bu+ in the end it will recoil
upon themselves. Such is our prediction.

Joining tine Republicans.

Democracy is going into rapid decline
in Michigan. Though once one of the
staunchest of Democratic States, after the
modern style, it may henceiorth be sci
down rs one Of the truest and most reliable
of Opposition States. The veteran Cass
has long since lost his power there, and
even the Douglas Democracy of Stuart will
not pass current.
A recent number of the Ionia mich. }
"Gazette," contains manifesto, signed
by eleven hitherto leading Democrats of
Ionia County, declaring their final aban-
donment ofthe Democratic party, and their
intention to cooperate in future with the
Republicans. The document to which
their names are appended is concise and
cogent statement of the great apostacy of
the Democratic party from its former prin-
ciples, and forcible presentation Of its
present pro-slavery position--a position
which these honorable and patriotic men
have no sympathies in common with. All
over the State, there is among high-minded
and patriotic Democrats determination TO
forsake the siuking cause Of slave propa
gandism.-CiR Gazette.

GREENVILLE, u, oct. ~, 1903.
EDs. GAzErTE:-A precious bit of news
reached our town last evening, which we
are assured is entirely reliabIe-too good
to be kept moment from the numerous
readers of the "Gazette" VIM. Allen,
the Administration Lecompton candidate
in the Fourth Congressional District
over whose election the LecoInptomtes
have already expended so much gIory-is
actuaiiy defeated, and Hon. M. IL. Nichols
will get his certificate. The facts are
simply as follows: Rumor reached us Oh
Saturday that certain Clerk, in certain
Township in Shelby county, in making up
the return, certified that one William Ellis
lad received 80 majority in his township,
for Congress. This was supposed to be
an error of the Clerk in spelling the name
Of Allen. However, when The County
! Clerk came to make his return 10 the Gov
ernor, he did not feel authorized TO go be-
hind the certificate of the Township Clerk,
and was about to return the facts as they
stood to the Governor, when message
was sent over posthaste for Mr.. Allen to
come over to sydney; and we learn upon
an investigation of the matter, it turns
out that Mr.. VIM. Ellis who received the
90 majority, is bona fde citizen of the
said township, and that the ballots were
intended to be cast for him, and that there
was no mistake about it at all. This Mr.
Ellis turns out to be no man of straw, but
really a man of bone and muscle--a promi-
nent A ti-Lecompton Democrat who bad
the nerve to propound several hard ques-
tions relative to the admission of Kansas,
to Mr. Lecompton A lien, which lie refused
to answer. Whereupon Mr.. Ellis deliber-
ately informed Mr.. Allen that he should
be candidate against him, even if he did
not run out of his own township. Mr..
Allen de6ed him. We have the result,
These are the developments since the
election, of which only few knew any
thing before the election, for Democrats
are proverbiaI for keeping dark any dis
affection in their own party.

A BeautifGuI Sentiment.

We find the following beautiful senti-
ment in circulation, without even a name
to indicate its palentage:-
"rhe moon looks calmly down when man is dying,
The earth still holds her sway;
Flowers breathe their perfume, and the winds Ike ep
NaIght seems to pause or stay"
Clasp the hands meekly over the still
breast-they have no more work to do;
close the weary eyes-they have no more
tears to shed; part the damp locks-there' s
no more pain to bear. Closed is the ear
alike to loves kind voice, and caIumny's S
singing whispers.
Oh, if in that still heart you have ruth
lessly planted thorn; if from that plead
ing eye you have carelessly turned; if your
loving glance, and kindly word, and clasp
ing hand, have come-ali too late-then
God forgive you! No frown gathers on
the marble brow as you gaze--no scorn
curlS the chiseled lip--no flush of wounded
/ feeling mounts to the blue -veined temples.
God forgive you for your feet, too,
must shrink appalled, from deaths cold
river---your faltering tongue ask, "Can
this be death?" Your fading eye linger
lovingly on the sunny earth; your clammy
hand yield its last faint and feeble pressure
Oh rapacious grave! yet another victim
for thy voiceless keeping! What! no words
of greeting from the household sleepers?
No warm welcome from sisters loving
lips? No throb of pleasure from dear
maternal bosom?
Silent ALI
Oh, if those broken limbs were never
gathered up! 1fbeyoud deaths swelling
flood there were no eternal shore! If for
the struggling bark there were no port of
peace! If athwart that lowering cloud
sprang no bright how of promise!

And naught beyond-Oh earthp,

Ehe New Steamer that is 10 Cross
LIhe Ocenn lm SAX Days.

VI, Ihe novel steamship built by the Messrs
Winans' Baltimore, to cross the ocean in
si1 DAYS, Is being launched. This queer
looking craft attracts a great deal of notice.
IL IS one hundred and eighty feet long and
only sixteen feet wide; has no keel nor
cut-water, no blunt bow standing up above
the water-Ime to receive blows from the
sea, and no fiat deck to hold. or bulwark
TO retain water. She has four high press.
ure engines with boilers like those of
locomotive. Being built entirely of iron,
sne VIII be hre proof, and from the number
OF her water-tight compartments, il is
thought she will be comparatively free
from danger Of sinking, in case of colli-
SON. Her form, also, is such as makes
ner stronger than usual, and also affords
the least possible hold for the wind and
waves.
The Baltimore "Sun' describes the
propelling machinery as follows: Take
plain flat ring off your finger and run it
on to the middle of cigar, upon which
1t IS to revolve freely by power applied
inside, which in the vessel consists of four
steam engines placed amidships. Now
10 THIS ring attach at equal distances all
around 1t fianges set at an angle adapted to
act upon the water as propellers, striking
the water by the swift and powerful revo-
luton of the wheel around the body of the
vessel. Thiswheel is covered all around
by belt OF ircn broad enough TO enclose
the wheel and extend some four feet on
each side beyond it,; this belt is supported
by plates of iron standing edegwise from
the surface Of the vessel to which they are

space under the belt on each side of the
wheel into compartments, and these com
partments above the water line are again
closed at the side next the wheel shutting
It entirely from view. Below the water
line they are of course open to admit the
free action of the wheel upon the water"

AWFUL TRAGEDY IN PoNToToo CoUN-

Pontotoc county few days since, in which
three men were killed. There was free
negro living in that county, who, some
time since, killed a white man near Fort
Smith, and Governor Harris issued orders
to Mr.. Young Brown, sheriff of that county,
to arrest him. He accordingly, in com
pany with two other men, went to arrest
him. When they got near the house, the
negro ran to a crib where he had fire arms
One of the Sheriff's party ran to the door
OF the crib, when the negro shot him dead.
The Sheriff then shot the negro, at the
same time he received a shot in the head.
The Sheriff, though badly wounded, then
clinched the negro, but, having no knife
the negro, cut him all to pieces, and thus
ended his troubles. The negro, being
wounded, and finding he could not get
away. shot himself His mother and sis

The Washington "Union" says, "the
Republicans are obliged to get up new
set of principles every year" On this
text, an exchange gives the following life
like picture Of modern Democracy:
"The Democrats do not wait year.
They have dozen different sets of pr:n-
ciples in the same campaign. They oc-
cupy nearly as many platforms as there
are States. Ask what Democracy is, and
you will receive totally different answers,
according to whether you inquire in New
York or New Orleans, Mobile or Albany.
They are for the tariff in Pennsylvania,
against it in Alabama. They believe in
the English swindie in Maryland, and de-
nounce it in Illinois. They love the Union
in the District of Columbia, and hate it in
the port Of Charleston. They decly fill
busterism in Massachusetts, but they fit
out ships for it IN Louisiana. They spit
upon the Dread Scott decision in Michigan,
aud swear by it at Washington. They be-
praise Buchanan in Tammany Hall. and
leave him to he 'judged by his acts" at
Syracuse. They are like pirates, who carry
flags of all sorts in their lockers, and sail
under which ever is safest, displaying their
own black ensign only when they have won
the battle, aud gained impunity for crime"
