The linton as Il ds!- The Constitution as Il u.s.!
This is the banner which Democrats and all
true Union men fling to the breeze This is the
motto which meets cordial response in every
patriotic heart. This is the only road to safety
the only refuge from despotism or anaehy.
We indthe above going the rounds of the
Democratic press. We would ask these "Union
as It was' fellows, if they are in favor of re-es-
tablishing slavery in the District of Columbian
Whether they are in favor Of repeating the law
prohibiting slavery in the territories? If they
are for replacing J. B., Floyd, Toombs, Davis
q Co., in the same positions in the Government
they held while they were plotting its over
throw? Do they want the Army, Navy, the
Custom Houses and the Forts replaced in the
hands of the man -stealers and the women and
baby sellersY If they do not how can they re-
store the Union @as it was2 Win the Aesse,.-
ger answer2 A better motto would be: @The
Union as it ought to bs--The Constitution as
expounded by its framers."

Reader, did you, "or any other man, ever see
published in the Messenger any of the accounts
of the hanging of Union men in the South by
the rebels? Did you ever see in that sheet any
statements of their stripping women and men to
the waist. and whipping them with thongs and
withs until their backs were perfectly msngled?
Did you ever see in that sheet any account of
the horrible barbarities practiced by the rebels
towards our wounded soldiers? Did you ever
see in it any statement how these slave driving
rascals bayoneted, cut and mutilated our dead?
Finally, did you ever see in that delectable
sheet any real honest, hearty, and sincere de-
nunciation ofthe rebels or their cause? Rather,
have you not seen in it denuneiation and abuse
of the Administration and the men who are try
ing to put down the rebellion? Do you not see
in it every week articles, the object of which is
to stir up party strife, and discord among the
people, instead of counseling the laying aside
Of party and union Of the people for the pre-
servation of our Country and its Constitution

THE Lyons OF CoNEECTICUT.-Some
interesting facts have recently come
out concerning the number Of persons
related to the lamented General, and
bearing his name, who ere now in the
army. There are thirty persons bear
ing his name and related to him, now
in the service, descendants Of Ephriam
Lyon of Connecticut, lawyer by pro,
fession, and Lieutenant in the Rev
olutionary war. These are all in the
Connecticut regiments, and many Of
them from the same county.
A young nephew of General Lyon,
a boy fifteen years old named Arthur,
enlisted in the Ninth Connecticut Reg
iment Immediately after the General 5
remains were taken home and buried
in his native town. Arthur was al
school, which he left the next day at
ter the burial, to join the regt. Saying
he had no idea Of leaving his school
to fight until he saw his uncle Nathan
iel lowered into the grave. From that
moment he was seized with a desire
and purpose to enter the army and
avenge his death.

HYDRoPHoBIA.-The following state
ment of most remarkable case OF
bydrophobia is given by the DelaYan
Patriot of march 10th inst:
A small girl, aged about ten years,
daughter Of Amos Ives, of the town
ship of Richmond, Walworth county,
died on sunday, 10th inst, OF that
fearful disease, hydrophobia. The
case was we'll marked in all its soul
narrowing features, leaving no doubt
of it's true nature. Some eight weeks
prior to the decease of the little girl
She was bitten by what must have
been a 2Zad Shank. During the day
of the accident the Skunk had been
caught in a trap and thrust through
with pitchfork and otherwise injured
by boy living with Mr.. Ives This
might have had something to do in
exciting the disease in the animal.
Near evening of this day this little
GIRL started to 90 over to one of the
near neighbours, and when some forty
or fifty rods from home she discovered
the skunk following her, and throwing
out her arms it caught her wrist and
bit her twice, once in the wrist and
once in the hand, and it was with much
difficulty she could throw him of, The
skunk was killed and the affair excitec
no alarm as it regarded the rabid con
dition of the animal, and therefore ne
apprehension as to the child until thu
the day of her death, when all the alar
ming facts were elected by the atten
ding physicians.
Two weeks previous to Mr.. Ives
daughter being bitten, girl in thu
same neighberhood and near the SAM
age, was attacked and severely bitter
by another skunk. This was kille
also.

CHAPTER E&D.

High stepping carriage horses, now
scarce, are greatly priced in London.
In the north of Germany, Whence
these horses are chiefly imported, you
may frequently see the animals exer-
cising on the high roads, oaparisoned
with heavy clothing, wearing no blink
ers, but large spectaeles. These spec.
tacles are strong magnifers, and each
pebble to the eyes of the deluded
quadruped, appear as granite boulder;
SO in his ignorance he lifts up his
legs high in the air to avoid their
contact, and thus contracts that habit
of high stepping, SO much admired,
and for which amteurs pay unheard
of prices.

From the fall Of 1928 to July 1881.
Gems Twiggs, Harvey and JEFF. Davis
were all stationed at Fort Winnebago,
adjoining the present city of Portage.
-Twigs at that time being a Major,
Harvey a Captain, and Davis brevet
second Lieutenant. In July, 1881,
Lieutenant Davis, with his company,
tramped to Fort Crawford, at Prairie
du Chen, where a prairie beauty, the
daughter of no less a parsonage than
Col. Zaek Taylor, who commanded
there completely c2ptivated the young
ieutenant's heart, and subsequently
became his wife. She died, however,
some years since, and he is now living
with his second wife.
