CARRYING PoL1TIcs A LITTLE Too FAR
We like good partisan-s man who can
indulge 10 reasonable amount of political
likes and dislikes-but the thing can be
overdone. t24
The other day, an Insurance Agent, To-
Gated near Borup & Cakes bank-a man
celebrated for the quietness of his manners
and the brevity of his speech, through all
that turbulent and noisy neighborhood-
and withal most jealous Democrat-took
one of our Republican State officers on q
trip Of few miles into the country, with
horse and cutter. This fact would seem to
evidence good feeling and good fellowship
between political opponents but sad to
say, such is the perversity of human nature,
that in trip of two hours and half, the
Insurance Agent contrived to t,ciee violently
overturn the cutter and throw the Republi.
can head over heels into the snow once.
too, on the brink of precipice above one
hundred feet high. Nothing but the fact
that he was State officer and in the re-
ceipt of handsome salary saved the unfor-
tunate gentleman's life. Had the thread of
existence been composed of any less elastic
or enduring material, it would undoubtedly
lave snapped.
But what shall be said of the man, who,
cloakipg bad heart under the guise of ev-
erlasting silence, would thus attempt to rob
the State of one of its best officers No
words of condemnation are too strong. AS
a Democrat we disown him-frst, for hav-
ing been wicked enough to make the at.
tempt ;-secondly, for having been weak
enough to make miserable botch of it,;
and on one or the other of these heads, We
are sure that every Democrat in the State
will join us in our condemnation of him

ADVENTURES OF A DETECTIvE.--Of late a
number of depredations have been com.
mitted upon the Indians of the Winnebago
Agency, and much liquor has been sold to
them surreptiously. The consequence of
this has been the sitting of Commissioners
Court at Garden City, and the haul of a
large number of delinquents by that ener-
getic and singularly fortunate officer, United
States Deputy Marshal Bracket. Among
the number arrested were persons of the
name of Piper, (uow known as "featherbed''
Mills, Tyler, Geary, Nelson, Shehan, three
brothers; McArdIe, three brothers; IA fine
balance of Scotch caution against Irish i'm.
petuosity) Long and Evans. Most of them
were held to bail, and some were brought
down to ST. Paul by Marshal Bracket, to
the beautiful solitude of our Jail.
These are the mere outlines of the trans
action-two OF the incidents thereof, in our
opinion, have hardly parallel for fun at
least, in the records of the London Police.
Among tie number to be secured was
Mr.. Piper; be has been there for some time
cutting down wood, and saving it up to
az immense profit, from the reservation.
Of course we knoav nothing of these things,
but we know little. Thousands of dollars
have been made off this reservation.
To continue; Mr.. Bracket had warrant
against Mr.. Piper. After searching bed
in Mr.. Piper's house, it was found empty
but still warm. Descending into the stable
be fourd horse saddled and bridled, ready
at any moment the bird mnst be near the
nest. Reassured, looking about, all he
could see was two bouncing chambermaids,
full of life and gee, who laughed to scorn
the idea OF any concealed enemy. The gen.
tleman of the detective department, felt
quietly about the head of the bed, until he
got to the bottom, and there found three
pairs of legs, belonging to two women.
This was a poser--either the captive had
bolted, or two women had three pair legs.
Upon searching the head of the bed, head
corresponding was found, and committed at
once to Jail. This gentleman (Brackett
had warrant against Piper, (No. p and
fancied that he could catch him in the
neighborhood of the Agency. but failed to
do so. Upon Bracket nearing the Agency
the law breakers felt it uncomfortable and
left the neighborhood.
Piper the second, thought that be could
hide well at Riley's, and the opportunity
was given him. "Hide in my bed," says
Riley, "there's room enough; "the old woman
can sleep on my side,, and you on the out
side." Mr.. Piper thereon turns in, and
Mr.. Riley goes to bed entranced with sweet
dreams, but Mr.. Bracket calls up Mr.. Ri
ley, and walks him off to prison, while he
assures Mr.. Piper "that it's all right" &c.
What happened afterwards, we are not in.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
The LATEST kAoE.-On Saturday night,

The --LATEST kAoE.-On Saturday night,
two buffalo robes were stolen from sleigh
on Seventh street. The loss was soon dis
covered and the losers wisely concluded that
the thieves would not carry the robes
through the streets while people were stir
ring about, but would deposit them in
convenient place where they could be OBJ
tanned during the night. After diligent
search it was ascertalned that they had
been thrown over fence near by. The next
thing was to lay a trap to catch the thief.
An officer was procured who rolled him,
self up in some blankets and awaited the
approach of the thief. An hour passed
and man came along and looked over the
fence, and seeing that his prey had not been
removed, be went away, the officer thinking
it best to wait until some one took the
robes; before discovering himself. The
thief returned again and again, and at the
end of about five hours, be reached over and
seized the robes.
Then come the race. The thiet, timber
and light, clad in moccasins, with the robes,
started off at lively pace, up Seventh
street towards the market. The officer,
after laying about FIVE hours, curled up in
his blankets, was rather stiff, but he put
his best foot forward, and made good race
for short distance. His wind, however,
did not hold out, and yet he kept on,
wheeling like young locomotive, which
scared the thief so much that be dropped
the robes. After thus tightening, his speed
increased to such an extent that the officer
gave up the chase, after securing the robes.

Celebration of the Fourth in Smyrna.

| We learn that our natal day, which is now
close at hand, will be celebrated in our town
with unabated interest. Preparations have
been made by our patriotic citizens to throw
around the occasion features that it is hoped
will prove interesting to all concerned.
The choirs of our respective churches have
united for the purpose of lending their aid and
contributing to the interests of the celebration.
They will be present and sing some of their
patriotic glees, eongs, &c. All hail! to the
" Patriotic Glee Club of Smyrna. Speakers
have been invited, and will be present to ad-
dress the meeting, which will be held in the
usual place-Schoolhous No. 3. A flag ras-

raised on the morning If the Fourth. The
odd Fellows, Home Guards and Cadets of Tenn
perance have been invited 10 join in the festiV-
