A QUEER STORY. correspondent
Of the Chicago TINES is responsible
for the following:
Mr.. NIeltzar. who lives on the West
side of Cedar River, about nine miles
from this city, says that immediately
after daylight yesterday morning,
while feeding his cattle in the yard,
he was astonished at the appearance
of an immense structure, evidently
q balloon. He describes tho object
to be sort of aerial boat of mann
moth dimensions, and supported by
three immense balloons. It was
quite low at the time it passed him,
and he was able to distinguish seve-
raj ladies and gentlemen looking
over the sides. One of them halloed
some words which he did not under
stand, and threw overheard flask of
curious pattern.
Mr.. Meltzar says that he does not
suppose anybody will believe his
story, but he is ready to make affi-
davit that what he tells is strictly
true. He says that the hull of the
boat appeared ten or fifteen feet
high, by forty in length, and fifteen
or twenty in breadth. There were
windows in it, through which rays
of lamps could be seen, and flag
hoated from the stern. He could
not see the design. The ladies
waved handkcrchiefs. He thinks he
saw ten or fifteen persons altogether.
One man was high mp on the side
nf t1,n ,nntra Enl1oAn al; l>inc-
rope ladder. While he 9azed mt it in
spccchless wonder, IL lot of sand was
thrown overheard, and the ship rose
with great velocity, sweeping rapidly
away in Westerly direction, and in
twenty minutes time was out Of
sight
The spirit Of lawlesSncss and vio-
lence stirred mp in the Sonth among
the negro population is directly as
cribed by the Albany Erening JomWai
to the "ncw radical crusade" and
the editor protests against the Re
publican party being held response
bic either for tho extreme men who
profess to act rs representatives, or
for tho doctrines they promulgate,
which are considered subvcrsive Of
all sound ideas of government, in
cendiary in their effects, and calcu-
lated to delay the process of recon-
| struction.

WORD ABOUT THE "QUEEN's
DELIGaT.''-Wo mako The broad asscr-
tion that the medicine called tho Queens
Delight, rs prepared by "Heinitsh,' ac-
complishcs more for suffering humanity
than any other remedy now in use upon
the face of the earth. This fact, and the
wonderful cures it performs, is corrobo-
rated by living witnesses. The theory is
this: No disease can be cured without
cleansing and purifying the blood, which
is the fountain of life. This combination
of alternatives and dcpuratives produces
just that change in the functions of organs
as to make healthy action to take the
place OF disease. We hear of fcvcrishness,
huttering about the heart, flushes, faint
ing headache, loss of appetite, low spirits,
weakness, nervousness and a general
good-for-nothingness-all owing to fever
and humor in the blood; and this produces
another very common disease, called dys-
pepsia, because this condition of the blood
tends to disorganize the organs OF diges-
ton. Get bottle and try it. To be had
at FISHER HEINITsHs, Druggists.

The pressure Of constant mental or bodily
labor upon tho animal powers is tremen-
dous. Very few Systems aud constitutions
can bear up against this pressure unas-

produced at this season by the change
from tho rigor of winter to tho warmth of

superhuman vigor to keep in perfect

ness is over 81, 900, 100000. The Mon
grels claim that this debt must be
paid and that it must be paid IN gold.
The readers of the DEMOCRAT know
that we think it is very doubtful
whether this debt can ever be paid I;
but we are not in favor ofrepudiation.
Let us try awhile longer to pay the
debt. If, however, it ever is paid, it
will be in greenbacks. It is barely
possible to cancel it in this way. II
the national debt remains in its pres.
ent form-that of bonds, held by the
few, drawing usurious interest in gold
and exempt from taxation-we shall
every fifteen years pay sum for in
terest alone that is equal to the prin-
cipal, and yet not one dollar of the
latter will be paid. If we cause the
debt to assume the form ofgreenbacks,
held by the people, without interest,
it is possible to redeem every one OF
them in fifteen years, with the money
we shall otherwise pay for interest on
the bonds.
We shall treat on this subject more
fully in future numbers.

VERMONT ELEcTIoN.-In times past,
says the Chatfeld (Minn.) Democrat,
it has been the annual custom with
the black Republicans to blow terribly
over the "great victory in Vermont -
There was an election held in that
State on the Sd ult., but we see no
glorifcation headings in the ''loyal''
prints over the result. Why? Be-
cause the Democracy have so reduced
the tremendous majority" that they
are ashamed to open their heads

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FIcTIoN.-
We often see things happening to persons
in real life, the truth Of which we would
doubt if we read them in the pages of
works of fiction. An instance of this
kind occurred lately in this place. A gen.
tleman, Mr. Reid by name, has been en-
ployed in the Office of the City Engineer
of Oakland, as a draughtsman, for some
time past. His course was marked by in
dustry, and his manner was quiet and
unassuming: he met with but little atten-
ton from our people. A gentleman arriv-
ed here last Saturday from Victoria (whcre
Mr.. Reid has relatives living) and inform
ed him that he had been heir to property
in England worth g45, 5,000To prove the
truth of his assertion. he offered Mr.. Reid
e5O0 as spending money Mr.. Reid
leaves here soon to take with him the best
wishes of his friends, who have increased
rapidly in number and earnestness since
his good fortune has been appouneed.-

he is, at least man of brains and energy.

bold movement. When this was follow.

THE MOUNTAIN IN LABoR.-The fires
of revolution arc scarce stamped out in
Crete ere the Sultan grants a general
amnesty. Two years and half have
passed since ''this cruel war was over"
and the American President is still dis
oussing the terms. perhaps the policy, of
amnesty. The absolute Turkish rule has
oblivion and amnesty even for the Greek
fllibusters who melted his subjects to re-
volt, and put in great jeopardy the integ.
rity of his empire. Should our Republic
an ruler at length make up his mind to
brave the wrath of the Radical Jacobins
by granting amnesty. we fear it will suf
fer in comparison with that of the absolute
Asiatic. Let the President dare to be as
magnanimous and bold as the Sultan. An
amnesty that excludes the great men of a
defeated cause, the natural leaders of q
people, is no amnesty.-N o. Pcayune

that the total Mongrel vote in twenty
three States last fall was 2,O6l ,s71.-
The Democratic vote was 1,644, ,SOs.-
The Mongrel majority was, therefore,
1868. Half of these votes, or 20s,.
787, would have changed the entire re.
suit of the election. That is to say,
that change ofless than six per cent.
