THE MEAN "CRrrERs. EVERY farmer
knows that there are always one or two
"mean critters" on every farm. They
will hook, kick, jump fences and cut up
all sorts Of outrageous capers : " Use far
mers sell such animals as soon as possible
for what they can get, for fear they Will
teach their meanncss to all Their compan-
ions. Political parties are afflicted IN the
same way. The Democratic party has
been terribly injured in times past by these
/.'mean crttcrs." but fortunately the war
has relieved it of good many, If not all of
this breed They could find better pastur-
age in the shoddy party during the past few
years than at the cribs where they formerly
fed. The result is, good riddance of
bad rubbish. Perhaps the 9meanest of all
these "mcan critters who have left is
John A. Logan, of IlIiroia. When the
war broke out, Logan, it is reported, sided
with Davis, and talked Of raising compa
ny in lever Illinois to joiL the South At
all events, his sympathics were said to have
been so decidedly southern that members
of his family if not himself publicly cheer
ed for jeff Davis No sooner however,
did Logan discover that the wind was
not blowing i'll that du ection, than he
turned squarely about, and is now "out-
Ueroding Hcrod." The Mongrcls, in pay
for his suhservicncy, last fall elected him
to Congaess, and in "A speech the other day
in that delectablc body, he announced that
if he, the great and mighty Logan, If he
had caught JeH. Davis, no Que would have
been troubled with trying him. lie would
have murdered him just as that big lnjup
.Juarcz, did Maximiliau Yes, he would,
That's what he would
What dangerous little man" Fierce
asa Camanche and terrible as q sausage
machine. How much stolen property from
the South has Logan got? How many hor-
ses has he captured out of private stables.
There must be something he fears he will
be detected in, or else he would not try to
kick up such dust i'll which to to hide him
self However we wish the Mongrcl party
JOY in their possession of Logan, and all
such CRITTERS. !" They are useful in their
present places, They will serve the good
purpose of making the MongrelS still more
odious, and we trust when they are buried
in 1.-THE last ditch, all ''thc mean critters
may bc buried with them.

A SpEcK OF WAR IN EUROPE. The
latest news from aeross the Atlantic lndl
Gates that another storm is brewing in Eu
rope, the protestations of kings ana cabl-
nets to the contrary notwithstanding. The
difficulty is between France and Prussia
France being backed by Austria. 1t ap-
pears that the latter power insists upon
France enforcing the treaty of Prague,
which is slap at Prussia. Aud then
again, Louis Napoleon advises Prussia to
restore to Denmark the State of North
Schleswig, which ro-opens that old ques-
ton; and there is rumor also that Rus
sia backs France on this question, conse-
-qucntly we have France, Austria and Rus
sia on one side, and Prussia on the other
Prussin assumes to be the leader Of the
German powers, much to the chagrln of
Austria, which, heretofore, was considered
the head and front of tadnfand Bis
mark is for peace, and recommends an
election of the German Parliament, by the
people, in the sams<assasncr that we elect
our congressman. Blsmark places upon
the treaty of Prague quite different con-
struction from France and Austria, and
this re-opening of vcxed question may
hurry the anticipated war.
Then again there is trouble in Italy
Garibaldi and his uneasy followers threaten
Rome, and the Italian Government offers
the Pope to protect his remaining temporal
power. This offer the Pope declines-no
doubt fearing the antldote worse than the
banc.
The threatening aspect of affairs has al
ready afflicted trade in Europe, and no
doubt we will receive like share of the
aflliction on this side OF the water.
