A Bed-Dglg StOry.

The editor of the Grand River Eagle
gives the following, as the experience Of a
friend stopping at Kalamazoo:
"You see | went to bed pretty ALFRED
used up, after hull day on the road be-
fore the plank was laid, kalkalatin' on a
good snooze. WAL, just as the shiyer8
began to case of, | kinder felt sunthin'
tryin' to pull off my shirt and digin' their
feet into the small Of my back to get a
good hold. Wrigg'ed, and twisted, and
PuckereI-aIl 10 uso-kept goin' it like
all sin.
Bjmby got up and struck light to
,ook around a spel-found about peck
of bed bugs scattered around, and more
droppin' off my shirt and runnin' down
my legs every mint. Swept off place
on the floor, shook out a quilt lay down
and kivered up in it for nap.
No use-no use-mounteQ right onto
me, like a passeI Of rats on meat-tub-
dug hole into the kiverlid, and crawled
through and gave me fits for tryin' to
hide.
Got up again, and went down stairs
got the slush bucket from the wagon,
brought it up aud made circle Of tar on
the tloor-lay down on the floor on the
inside, and felt comfortable that time any
how. Left the light burnin and watched
'em. See 'em get together aud have a
camp-meetin' bout it, and then they went
Oft in squad, with an old gray-headed lie
one at the top, right up the wall, out on
the ceilin', till they gos to the right spot,
then dropped right plump into my face
Fact, by thunder!
Wal, l swept 'em up again, and made
circle of tar on the ceiling, too
Thought | had 'em foul that time, but
swan to man, if they didn't pull straws out
of the bed and built regular bridge over
itm
Seeing an incredible expression on our
visaee, he clinched the story thus
Its 50 whether you believe 1t or not
and some.of 'ern walked across on stills
Bed bugs are curious critters, and no mis-
take, specially the Kalamazoo kind"

American Protestant DemOC-
Eacy.

Unless the Heraid means by the sup
port of Douglas to throw the election for
President into the House and give Breck-
enridge chance, it has made mistake
1t was bought out by It's present proprie-
tor and put on a new footing for the pur-
pose Of opposing the 1imes and building
within the Democratic party an anti Cath
olic influence, which would now and then
give an American and Protestant Demo
crat a sight a, the honors and rewards Of
partisan strife. The Times, as is well
known. is under Jesuit influence. 1t has
no aid for or sympathy with the Ameri
can idea 1t has gone steadily with the
dominant Catholic section of the party,
and has since i was started made It's bread
and butter out of Catholic subscriptions.
1t has always been first and foremost in
electing Catholics to office; and today its
support of Judge Douglas ia as much a
matter Of religious faith as Of political
principle. To give Americans by birth

safe the sacrifice of power, of dignity,
shall | say OF honor, which the admission
of California had imposed upon them, the
only thug they could discover to obIiterate
the wrong they had suffered was that they
had forever excluded from the Halls of
Congress the question of slavery. Such
was the exultation Of the South at the re-
suit that they no, only hailed the measure
from which it emanated with frantic ap-
plause, but imposed on them the rebelling
conscience Of their public men as a settle
ment and covenant which none could
disown without committing treason
against their most sacred interests.
Then came thesconvention OF 1892, In
which | had the honor to occupy prom
inent position as one of the committee on
resolutions selected by universal consent,
to watch over and guard the rights and
the susceptibilities of the South against
the introduction IN the platform Of any
doctrine that might be deemed either IN
| furious to the first or in the least degree,
offensive to the latter. In the perform
ance of my duty was aided not only by
the wisdom, the experience of the distln-
guished colleagues who acted in concert
with me, but also by the advice aud en-
couragement of the great leaders of that
opposition in which had joined myself
when member of the American Senate
in 1919; and here IS the resolution that
sprung out Of our common councils and
became one of the Fundamental articles o.
the democratic creed.
The resolution referred to by Mr.. Soule
pledged the democratic party to resist
both in and out Of Congress the agitation
of slavery.
The speaker then went on to show tht
consistent and unwayering doctrine Of Mr.
Douglas to his political creed and the re
verse on the part Of those who were oppo
sing him bitterly.
! Amid tremedous burst of applause
Mr.. Soule concluded his address by the
following appropriate alIusion to The Clan
Of the West:
steadfast on his own principle relying,
Breasting the black storm, It's red bolt
defving,
His swing on the wind his eye on the sun
lie swerves not hair, but bears onward
right OH.

5 not generally known, although 'he
pinth stanza is one of the stereotyPed quo
ations Of our native tongue
Dnce this sof, turf this riplet's sands,
Were trampled by hurrying crowd,
And fery hearts and armed hands,
Encountered in the BATTLE cloud.
ah never shall the land forget
How gushed the life blood Of her
brave
iushed warm with hope and courage yet,
Upon the soil they sought to save.
Now all is calm, and fresh, and still;
Alone the chirp Of twittering bird,
nd talk of children on The hill,
And bel Of wandering kline are heard.
no solemn host goes trailing by
The black-mouthed gun and staggering
vain
Men stare not at the battle cry
Oh! be it never heard again!
Soon rested those who fought; but thou
Who mingIes in the hard er strife
For truths which men receive not now,
Thy warfare only ends with life.
a friendless warfare lingering long
Through weary day and weary year
"A wild and many weaPoned throng
Hang on thy front, and flank thy rear.
Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof,
And blench not at thy chosen lot;
The timid good may stand aloof,
The sage may frown, yet faint thou not.
Nor heed the Shaft too surely cast,
Tie foul and Kissing blot Of scorn
For a. thy side shall dwell at last,
The victory Of endurance born.
Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise again
Tie eternal years Of God are hers;
But Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies among her worshippors.
Yea, though thou lie upon the dust,
When they who helped thee flee in

RE~The Hartford Courant, decided
out and out republican sheet, admits that
if the Democrats are united on Douglas
next November, he can carry the electoral
vote of that State. So it goes all round.
In Ohio the same opinion prevails among
Republicans. They go into the campaign
dsheartened. They see all chances of
carrying the Lincoln ticket melting into
" thin air." and the democracy have uoth-
ing to do but close up their ranks, present
an unbroken frcnt, and the day is ours
The prestige of success that attaches to
Mr.. Douglas is alone tower of strength,
is inspiring-and the opposition are al,
ready virtually defeated. Hurrah for the
Little Giant"

HARD on HM.-The Vermont Patriot
tells a story of an old usurer, who went,
one day, to visit a former borrower, who
had since fortunately grown from poverty
TO independence. They went into the gar
den. Passing along walk hanked on ei-
thsr side with flowers of great beauty and
variety, the visitor made no remark until
he came to potato patch, when he sx-
claimed
My friend you'll have a fine crop OF
potatoes -
THAT just ike you," said the proprie-
tor j; when gentlemen and ladies' pass thro'
my garden, they look at the flowers, bu,
when a hog comes in, all he can see is po

with it, and you'll recover"
This advice Of yours seems very much
