the boiler and out on the cow.catcher.
The car wheels grated, Int the sen-
gine was working harder than it had
that night, I donldn't stop to think,
why, and, putting my feet between
the bars, 7 caught hoidof the shackle
with my left hand, and leaned for-,
ward over the track. Isbut my teeth
together tight, and held on like
death, knowing we'll that slip of my
hand or foot would end me. The
poor covering little thing crept away
ito one side, but was so scared that it
had sunk down and was lying on its
belly across the rail. God help it,
again says I, bending low down,
and stuck my arm out straight and
stiff, with my hand an inch from the
track; in an instant showed my hand
under the child, but pushed it along
about five feet before I could close
my hand on the dress; then I lifted
it up over my head md put it on the
platform behind me, and then, quick
rs may be, 1 followed, for felt kind
of weakness coming over me. I took
the baby in my arms, but was too
weak to go back, so I sat there. The
engine was going like lightning, and
the rain was beating in mine aud the
baby's face, and the wheels were
grinding and roaring, and, afore
Heaven, I never was so womanish
along of any danger L have been in,
as L was then, with the poor little
thing, and its arms around my neck,
sobbing as if its heart would break.
L was only there minute, and was
nearly fainting, when I heard shout
ing louder than the storm and the
noise of the engine, and I opened my
eyes and saw the figure of man
about thirty yards in front Of the
engine. He stopped down, then
jumped up with something large in
his hands, and threw it off the track;
then he did it again and again. He
worked quick and wild-like. and Just
before the engine reached him, he
jumped off, and waved his arms at
me and the baby, and the glare of
the lantern fell on him Mt that in
slant, and showed face which was
pale round the lips and nose, such rs
[ had seen before.
Well, I got back to the cab with the
baby, and whistled the brakes of,
and went into Croydon thirty-five
minutes before time. I told Susan
oil about it, and she took to the baby
in fine style, and she and I sat by the
fire that evening, talking and wonder
ing over what had happened, when n
knock came to the door, and I went
to it and says, "Who's thcre?"
Its me, says voice, which was
trembling rs though the man was
crying; ''let me in, Rogers; I'm Jim
Nelson. I've got nothing agin' you
and Susan, now, God knows"
So l opened the door, and he came
in, staggering as if he was in liquor,
and as white as snow. Then he looked
around the room, and seeing the child
in Susan's lap, he ran to it, and
kneeling down, he buried his face in
its clothes, and sobbed and cried as I
never saw man before or since.

MORE HISTORY.

In writing histories Of Jackson coun-
ty the present summer, the political
history of the county has been some
what neglected. We propose in few
numbers of our paper, to supply this
hiatus.
From the commencement of the war
until Lees surrender, the Democracy
had an organ in this place, called the
Express. Nominally, it was edited by a
thing that shall not be named here.
But everybody about Jackson knows
that Levi DUNCAN was the real editor.
AS Bro. DUNCAN is now asking thegood
people of Jackson county to send him
to Columbus to make laws for them,
and to help elect United States Sena-
tor to make laws for the nation, we pro-
pose to ventilate his past record. If
there is single sentiment in the fol
lowing extracts from the Express which
Mr.. DUNCAN now disapproves, our col.

LYING PROPHETS.

Four years ago Levi DUNCAN was
cadidate for State Senator in this Dis
trict. Little Billy Jones, of the Wa
verify Democrat, prophesied that he would
be elected. But DUNCAN only missed
his election by about two thousand
Now Jones is again prophesying that
Emmitt will be elected. We shall see
about that.
But the richest joke is letter writ
ten by one w. M. E. Turner, of Monroe
Furnace, to the Gallipolis Dispatch, a
rebel paper published by one of the
lowest kind Of doggery keepers. This
man Turner is about all the copperhead
there is in Jefferson township, lie
talks big about the Thurman meeting
at Jackson, and closes thus:
The speeches were all listened to ottcntvcly,
and as a reward for their labors, Jackson county
will roll up such majority for Judge Thurman
this fall that Radicalism will never again dare
show its reasonable head in this county, and
with James Emmltt for our next State Senator,
and Levi DUNCAN foy our Representative, jackson
county will again array herself in all her glory
and beauty Of former days.
w. NJ. L. TURNER.
The idea of Thurman and DUNCAN
carrying Jackson county is too good a
joke.
The glory and beauty Of former days
referred to by Mr.. Turner must evident
ly refer to tho time our county was
under Democratic rule, when the Treas
urer and Commissioners loaned them
selves and their relatives twenty thou
sand dollars of the peoples money,
some Of which has not yet, and never
will be paid. Can Mr.. DUNCAN and
Mr., Booth tell the people where the
money wentl Does Mr.. DUNCAN know
anything about certain Furnace stock,
which made some men so poor they
could not pay the peoples money back,
while it made others rich? Oh for the
"glory and beauty of former days"

RANDOM THOUGHTS No. "a.
BY TIE EDITOR.

It might seem strange that the Democratic par
ty, which began and prosecuted the Shareholders
rebellion for four years, would at this late day
attempt to put the blame upon the Republican
party. But 1t is so. You may hear Democratic
orators talking about high taxes, and extraordina-
ry expenses, as though the Republican party had
had anything to do in bringing about this state of
things.
The Republican party came into power March
4, 1861. What was the state of the country Ot
that time or in what condition did the Demo-
cratic administration hand over the Governmcnt
to the Rcpubcans2
On the Goth December, 1860, South Carolina
passed an ordinance of secession. On the 2Sth of
the same month, the same State seized the Custom
House, Postofice and Arsenal at Charleston, and
occupied Castle Pinckney and Fort Moultrie.
On the I'd of January, 1861. Gov Ellis, of North
Carolina, took possession of Fort Macon, at Beau
fort, the works AZ Wilmington, and the U. s. Ar
senal at Fayetteville. On the same day Georgia
troops took possession of FortslPrlaski and Jack
son, and the u. s. Arsenal at Savannah On the
1th of January, 1861, the Governor of Alabame
ordered the seizure of Fort Morgan, at the moutl
of Mobile Bay, and the U. s. Arsenal at Mobile.
On the 9th of January, 1861, the Star of the
West was fired upon off Charleston, s. c., wheT
taking provisions to Fort Sumter. On the 11tl
of the same month, Alabama passed on ordinance
OF secession. On the 10Th of the same mOntl
Georgia passed an ordinance of secession. Or

Der, the Democratic ticket received nearly TWELVE
HUNDRED majority, Mr.. Lohrcr the nominee for
Justice Of the Peace, of the Democratic party, or
as 1t is now called by the honest Germans, tho
Democratic Know Nothing Clique, was elected
by only TInRTY-sGNE majority. The Statesman,

Clique" on Saturday morning said "William l..
Hey,h the Independent candidate twill be sup
ported by the Republicans and all Democrats who
want the impression to 60 out over the State
that Negro Suffrage is growing In popularity in
this city," On Saturday the city was flooded by a
flaming circular issued by the leaders OF the
Democratic party, which alter publishing an In
famous lie in reference TO Gen. Lee, declared that
Wm L. Heyl was the candidate OF the Negro
Suffrage men, and Of men who wanted the Inn
preston to 20 abroad that Negro Suffrage is pop

up by the Statesman and the proclamation of the
leaders Of tho democratic Know Nothing

We are willing to admit that the
contest in this District may bo close
enough to require vigorous efforts on
the part of every Union man. But
these efforts are being made. We can
not say as to Sciotoi that county is
always uncertain; but the majority in
Jackson will not be small, mark that.
We claim to know, and we now predict
that our majority will be larger than it
was one year ago. Adams will be close,
but it will give Emmitt no two hundred

HNHPIETY.

The internal impudence and impiety
of the copperhead Democracy is well
illustrated in the New York Day Book,
and then copied in all the little rebel
papers over the country. 1t is claimed
that God created the races different,
and designed that superior races should
tyrannize over the inferior, and that it
is a sin to give all men equal justice be-
fore the law. These infdel scoundrels
have perhaps never read dozen pages
in the Bible. Shall mortal man claim
to be wiser than Jehoyahl What says
the Bible on this subject of making
distinction among men!
The Jews thought that the Samaritans
were not as good as themselves. But
the Savior taught differently Peter
thought that the Gentilcs were not as
good as the Jews, but he saw vision
that cured him of this copporhead idea,
and he says;
"Of truth perceive that God Is no rcspecter
of persons.' Acts 1884,
We find Paul laying down the same
principle, when he says:
"For there Is no respect of persons with God" I"
Romans 2-11.
The same is taught in Citations 20,
where it is said:
"God acceptcth no mans person.
And again in sgeaking Of our Master
in Heaven, it is said;
Neither is there respect of persons with him. "
Epheslans 60.
The same in Collossians 1925:
"And there Is no respect of persons"
Aud in Peter, LII:
"And II We call on the Father who without
respect Of persons judgeth according to every
mans work., pass the time of your solourning
here in fear"
And here Paul teaches copperheads a
noble lesson.
1--WE then that are strong ought to bear the
inhrmites of the weak, and not to please our
selves" Romans 15-1,
But what is the language of the Old
Testament upon this subject1 Let us
see.
'For the Lord your God Ia the God of gods
and Lord Of lords, a great God, mighty and a
terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh
reward.
lie doth execute the Judgment of the fathcrless
and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving
him food and ralment." Dout 1917 & Is.
And again:
"Whereforc now, let the fear of the Lord be
upon YOU take heed and do Il: for there Is no
lnlqulty with the Lord our God, nor respect Of
persons nor taking of gifts" Chron 19--7.
Here is another passage to the same
purport;
"IIow much less to him that accepteth not the
persons Of princes, nor regardeth The rich more
than the poorl for they are all the work Of his
hands" job allie.
These doctrines are taught through
out the Bible, There were no copper
heads among the prophets and apostles
