and Grant county, legally more pro-

upper Mississippi, made even more
radical than most any part OF New

the great work rather they
stood in the way and worked with
the popular parties till the dams
broke and flooded the country with
radical sentiments. Ye gods, there,

How Democrats Honor and Love the
Soldiers.

For two months the democratic
orators and journals have been how
ling about the acknowledgements of
"soldiers" by the radicals" and all
because few honorable an.a faithful
soldiers were incorrectly reported as
deserters not through bhe errors of
Republicans but through the returns
of military officess in the War Office.
We have hitherto said that all this
noise and show of sympathy for the
few unjustly dishononed. boys in blue
was net from any real love for them
but rather because deserters and
draft sreaks were DISTINGUISHED, and
therefore prevented from voting the
democratic ticket, which they had
always done and always would do
but Tor this impedimcns. And now
we have the proof Of what We have
said. Just beyond the limits of the
city and in the town of Wsnw atosa
is the Soldiers Home, where are
congregated several score of disabled
veterans Of the recent war. They
bear upon their persons terrible evil
dence OF their bravery and fidelity
to duty. These soldiers went to the
democratic registers Of the town
Wauwatosa to enroll their names pre-
paratory to voting; but the said dem.
ocratlc registers refused to record the
names ofthese brace men. on the around
that they are PAUPERS Friends
OF the soldiers, are these democrats =?
and yet they disfranchise the disabled
heroes OF bloody fields, and declare
them psupers ! They afterwards
registered them, thinking, doubtless,
that they had made mistake. Bnt
yesterday when they came to vote, "a
notorious copperheas challenged euery
one Of them. Late in the day one Of
the crippled veterans was kicked like
a dog by a copperbead, but the hero.
manned as he was turned upon his
assailapt, and striking him a terrible
blow in the forehead, knocked him
down, cutting an ugly cash, which
bled profnsely. A number Of rowdies
then made an assault upon the soldiers,
and they were rather roughly ham
died.
This is a fair specimen Of the re
gasd which coppcrheads have for soi>
diers.- Wisconsin.

EsToN.-At nine o'clock and for,
ty eight minutes on the morning Of
the 18th o: November, Ammo Dom
mi, 1867, Ed ward p. Weston arrived
at tho postoffice in Chicago, Cook
County Illinois, having walked to
that city from Portland, Maine, in
twepty>six walking days, near so
miles per day. But he failed to walk
his l0o miles within any one day.
This man Weston, it appears, is an
editor and undertook the great walk
purely for the support of his family,
being poor man. Poverty ought to
be no excuse for such small business

Encounter BelW cen ian Elephant
nmG N uRps

a very extraordinary encounter between
rat aud an elephant has recca,ly taken
place IN The Garden Of Pants, London.
which was witnessed with interest by hun
dreds Of p rsSns.
Tie keepers we're engaged in destroying
Q great number oil rats, when ono VI them
escaped and ran 10 the spct allotted to the
elephant. Seeing no other refuge, in the
twinkling Of an eye the rat snug,y enconced
himself in the trunk Of the elephant, very
lLuch TO the elephants dissatisfaction. He
stamped his foot ard twisted his trunk
around like the sail Of windmill. After
these evoluiions he stood suddenly still, ev.
identity rejecting ON what was best to d.
He then ran 10 the trough where he is ac>
oustomed to dIns, and plunged his trunk
rnto the water, then returned TO his den,
and raising his trunk, with he water he
absorbed, he dashed out the unfortunate rat,
which was in sheet of water like that is>
suing from a fire engine. When the rat f;ll
TO the ground the elephant seized him and
made him undergo the immersion and pro-
lection four times. At the fourth throw it
fell dead. The elephant, with . msjes ic
air, but cool and placid. crushed his an
noying little enemy with his foot, ana then
went round 10 the spectators to make his
usual collection OF cakes, sugar and other
dsintits. The feat was received with voclf>
crous applause, which TIE elephant seemed
fully 10 understand and appreciate.
