The Ball Still Rolls.

We have glad tidings from Chicago the
very stronghold Of Radicalism. In this CITY,
said to be the blackest of the black, the De-
mocracy have elected their offices by some
hundreds. This is gain for the Democracy
of from four to five thousand. What say the
braggarts who rejoiced so loudly over poor
bought up New Hampshire? What excuse
have they now to Offer for the detection of
Chicagos Can they find any "local issues
upon whose shoulders they may essay to ride
out of this difficulty. Verify the impeachment
freak is working wonders for the Constitution
and for the upholdcrs of it. If the Senate de-
sircs to sign the death warrant of Radcalism
let them only convict Mr.. johnson and Grant
will have about rs much chance for the pres
idency as the monkey he formerly rode in
company with, around the circus ring so af-

CoRN SnirMESrs.-Thc shipment Of corn
from this county. is becoming TO be quite an
item, after taking into consideration the fact
that last year and the year before corn was
brought here from Cincinnati and st. Louis &c
supply the demand.
W. +. ENGLAND has shipped up to this time
1000 sacks, equal to 1000 bushels of corn, and
is still sacking
a. NJ, CALLAHAN & Co., have shipped SOC
sacks equal to 600 bushels. They probably
have or 1000 more bushels to ship.
JoHN W. WALLACE has shipped $50 sacks
equal to 100 bushels and has 800 more % ship.
ii. c. HAYMAN has shipped 800 sacks and is
still shipping.
And not less than or 60O0 bushels have
been shipped from points below town in the
county. 1t will be fair to presume that 10000
sacks will be shipped from Crawford county
this spring. This considering the dsadvan-
tages the people were put to Is doing very
well. Next year we expect to see double the
amount shipped.

Standing on Nothing,

BY Washington dates of the lst, we learn
that the reconstruction Com. have declined to
act upon the Constitution of Arkansas and
South Carolina. until the Constitutions of the
other States are sent into them. Texas has
not yet met in Convention and judging from
other States aud allowing for the great extent
nf the territory, we may safely say we will
have no Constitution from her for two OF
three months. What. in the mean time, is to
become Of the carpet-bag concern now at Lit
tie Rock becomes question of vital import
ance to washerwomcn, grocery keepers, hotel
keepers, BARRIERS and of course little interest to
the members themselves. viii they now be

ing before the approval of the Constitution

stitution is approved. If they take the latter
course who is to pay the expenses Are the

crs, who are self-styled legislators and who
have congregated at the capito! merely to
themselves ridiculous and obnoxious to the
citizens Of Little Rock? In the present de-
plorable financial condition of this people
these questions are ofyital importance. While
homes are falling from pennyless citizens,un-
der the hammer of the tax gatherer, when
want stalks abroad throughout our land, it
becomes the people to look well to the use
made of the money wrung from them by the
cupidity of remorseless strangers. They come
40 use you, their Radical supporters, for the
purpose of elevating themselves to Office
where they may live without labor upon your
hard earned money. They care not for your
welfare or the welfare OF your State. As
soon as the present political revolution is
complete, they will shoulder their carpet
bags, dodge their hotel bills and leave the
state. Then you will be left to live among A
people you have grossly wrongcd. The hui
initiation will be extreme, and yet you will be
left to suffer remorse alone. These fellows,
who now dcfile the capitol by their very pres

Impeachment Personalities

case noticeable attention. Notwithstand

Yates, who sits beside Sumner, keeps his

IS-The New York Nation (radical)
administers a severe snubbing to the pet
tifogging leader of impeachment. 1t
says: We have nothing to say against
the ability of the managers, but we have
much to say against the use they have
made OF their discretion in committing
the greater part of the conduct of their
cause to that of their members who cares
little for courtesy, for decorum, and for
the dignity and fairness of the trial
The contrast in demeanor between those
who represent the President and those
who represent the House has been al
ready sufficiently marked, and it is con.
trast on which few people will look with
anything bnt modification when the trial
is over. If there be a lack efficiency on
either side, certainly it ought to have ap-
pcared on the side Of the defendant, the
more particularly as the case against him
is largely made up of 4 charge of bad
language and rowdy behavior"

of them, however. received more than the

reached home. The favored Chiefs name
was Chino, son of Tamashe. of Diente Mocho,
and occunied a prominent position in the Ute
tribe. While he was in the tent with some of
his associates, one of those who had been to
Santa Fe with him, named Chaves, shot at
him from the outside. the bah taking effect
and causing instant death. The affair took
place at night, and the darkness enabled the
murderer to make his escape at the time, and
he had not been captured at the latest dates

Burlesque on the Man-woman story.


Our readers have doubtless perused a warn
from the La Crosse Democrat, concerning the
transformation of woman into man.
This is entitled a strange story and
rightly. too, for it is strange but we know
of one that beats it. In Montpelier Town
ship, in this county, reside an aged couple
by the name of Rose. These two individuals
take it turn about That is, every three
years the woman becomes man, and during
the same three years the man changes to
woman. Strange as it may seem, there are
some dozens of people in this county who
stand ready to verify this statement with an
affidavit, These two unfortunate beings were
married in 1913. In 1919 the woman gave
birth to a child which died. Shortly after the
birth of this child, the parents began to change
sexes. A separation followed, and the parties
moved from Tennessee, where they then resid-
ed, one to Illinois, the other to Kentucky. In
1851, the change having become complete
in both, they were again brought together by
friends. They fell in love second time and
were married, the former husband this time
being the wife, and cice rersa In 1902 the
former husband and now wife, presented the
former wife and now husband, with a female
child. This child is now l6 years old. She
is also troubled in the same way often chang
when she goes TO bed, but she will wake up
10 the morning and find herself boy, and is
not certain when he gets up in the morning
but that he will be girl. He tor she)
keeps two sets of clothes handy, and when
the changes begin to come on, dons the
proper apparel of her Tor hisl sex.
This may seem tough story, but it is
vouched for by large number of reliable
DerSOns. But to return tO her DarantS At
intervals of three years the change of sex
described above has taken place regularly
the couple now have five children, three of
which call the original father mother, and
two of which call the original mother father.
These children are all liable to occasional
and complete changes Of sex, but not of so
sudden nature as marks the status o. tie
oldest boz TOR giri). \ good story is told OF
n Young darkry who was not acquainted with
the family failing. Meeting the girl at a
party one evening, ne fell violently in love
with her. escorted her home, and ON the way
solicited and obtained permission to cal
again. The next evening found him promptly
at the house of his sweetheart. Imagine
kind reader, the astonshment of this pros
pectve citizen when he found his dulcinea
arrayed in boys clothes, and sporting ar
lncipient mustache on what the evening be
fore was the smooth, rosy upper lip. Two
days later he came again. and found his
Mary John for that was the name given by
the conscientious parents) once more the
blooming lass. without even the semblance
of a man. Taking one look at her. the as
founded youth rushed from the house and
never went near it again, s. for cear," as he
said, - that he might get to be a gal hissef "
OF the truth Of this last circumstance we are
not so certain. but we again assure our
readers that the remainder Of our story is a.
true as fact can make Nuscatin COllt.ier
