A FAILURE.-A loud call was made
in the organ yesterday morning
for a rally of the Democracy at the
Third Street Engine last night We
called around at eight o'clock or later
and found only George Stackhouse
aud one other man, whom he was
trying to induce to take life policy.
The Democracy did not seem to rally
worth a cent. What's the matter?

In THE MIDST OF LIFE WE ARE
IN DEATH. This trite saying was
mournfully illustrated on Wednesday,
in the neighborhood of Frank Will
liamson's, in Union Township. A
lady, whose name our informant did
not remember, was in the act of put
ting on her dress. As she raised her
arm to put it through the sleeve she
exclaimed, "Oh, my Godw and fall
ing down, Immediately expired. Her
husband and others were present at
the time. She was buried yesterday
afternoon.

HEALTH OF THE CITY.-The health
of the city for some weeks past has
been excellent, and the mortality list
very light-not having averaged more
than one a day for several weeks
past. We doubt if there is another
city In the United States of 10000
inhabitants which can boast of as
much exemption from sickness and
death as this.

In the Linton, wn1 aarn that trouble
aud bIoodsneu sun prevails IN Ten
Dessee on the line of that river. On
Sunday night last, George Harding,
represented to be a Ku Klux, was
waylaid and shot while going home
from church, at Savannah.
Another shooting affair occurred at
Swallow Bluffs, where eight or ten
shots were fired, and two men were
wounded.
1t was also reported that the bond
given by the two parties to keep the
peace towards each other, had been
torn up, and it was expected that hos
tilities would again be resumed.
The Ku Klux, since the New York
Convention, have grown very bold
aud defiant. Seymour and Blair is
their battle cry.

laid on a coal track in Western Vir-

the Argosy brought it. Col. Abe.

selected no rails that were not as good

his Sunday breaches. On going to

The NEW OPERA HoUsE-SEcoND
NIGHT.-We were mortified to see a
very meagre audience at the Opera
House last night, being much smaller
than on the opening night, notwith-
standing the night was pleasant, and
nothing going on to draw the people
away. The bill presented was I'M
questionably one of the best ever pre-
scented to an Evansville audience, and
the whole programme was well exc
cuted.
1.-THE Singers Welcome" by the
Liederkranz, was a mastery perform
aRce, and the Rhine Maidens," by
Mr.. and Mrs. Schlessinger. was we'll
exec uted.
The Morning Call, by Mr.. Gotthold
and Miss Rickcords, was the " tit bit"
of the evening. Miss Riekcords in
her debut, made a decided hit. She
lacked little in voice, which may be
excused in first appearance in new
Hall. She has the bearing and ad-
dress on the stage of a true lady, and
we predict for her an immense popu-
larity in this city. All the other per-
formances were fAvorabIy received.
The Shanghai Quartette was album
dainty funny. Tonight the Lieder-
kranz appear in their great Opera,
entitled the GEAR and Carpen-
ter" which was given In the
Turner Hall in April last, and re-
ceived with such universal favor.
This delightful opera has been put
upon the stage of the Opera House
by the Directors at heavy expense,
in order to afford our citizens an op-
portunity to hear this gem of music
in hall acoustieally adapted to its
production, and they deserve a crowd
| ed house.

VERY LIKELY.-Leslie's Budget of
Fun for October, contains a very
striking cartoon. It represents the
studio of G. S. A. artist, who is
painting a caricature Of General
Grant. He has represented him with
the nose the size of ripe cucum-
Der, and the ears of an ass, having
a cigar in his mouth, his hat tipped
on the side of his head and huge
bowie knife reaching to his feet. In
the background are portraits of 9 The
Beast and saint Stonewall in
Heaven At the feet of the artist
lies a copy of the Very Cross Demo
crat. A sagacious friend says, But,
say, that amt a bit like him, you
know, Ell 2" T =
Artist" Perhaps not, but [ tell
you, had you been licked by him as
1 have, you wouldn't paint him
pretty"
The Democratic press all over the
country is initiating this G. 5. A.
painter. They owe Grant a grudge
for licking their rebel friends, and
don't feel disposed to paint him
pretty. Another represents Andy
johnson carrying home large egg
found in the Southern slushes, and in
his admiration exclaiming, This is a
bully egg The scene changes,
Andy has Matched his egg by My
Policy" stove. It burst its shell on
the Fourth of July at New York, and
produced an alligator, which swallows
Andy, boots, breeches, and all.

CONSISTENCY.-lt has not proDa-
bly been forgotten that the new Dem
ocratic City Council refused to pay
the regularly appointed and sworn
special police of the last city election.
until each one Of them had made an
affidavit that he had not election
eered." And now the Street Commits
sioner publishes Gard in the Courier

IMPROVEMENT AT OAK HILL Gem
ETERY.-Several improvements have
recently been made at the Oak Hill
Cemetery, which adds much to its
beauty and to the convenience of the
Superintendent. A handsome new
fence has been built along the north
west side of the grounds, and the un-
slightly old worm fence has been re-
moved.
The residence of the Superinten-
dent has been handsomely painted,
and presents a greatly improved ap-
pearance. For the convenience of
the Superintendent, small, sweet
toned bell has been placed on the
grounds, by which the laborers may
be summoned when required from
any part of the grounds. This will
prove a great convenience to the peo-
ating delay at funerals, which has
sometimes been occasioned by having
to call men from a distant part of the
grounds.

DEMOCRATIC INDIoEs.-We notice
that for the last few days nearly all
the Democratic poles in the city
are leaning towards the north
east, while many of the ROSTERS are
thrown back as if the American
eagle had handed them one in the
eye, or some of the Grant horses IN
the vicinity had kicked them. A sus-
picious friend suggests that the poles
are pointing to Vermont. while the
ROSTERS, in attempting to crow over
the great Democratic gains there
achieved, lost their balance and fell
back in it." One pole, raised on
Saturday night last. after being got in
position, leaned over a little past a
horizontal to gaze in admiration on
Vermont, and has not been able to
straighten up since.

most fearful and appaliing circumstance transpred

and gentlemen sitting in front OF the beautiful
quarters OF Col Ed. Wynkoop, Indian superintendent
or agent ef several walke tribes, the entire party
commenced beautiful song. While the melody vas

tearing ami decorating his limbs in most frghtfnl

Wynkoop and his chief scout, James Morrison, who
had lost no time in procuring proper arms. Before
either Of these gentlemen could overtake him, the
wolf had attacked the sentry the guard house whom
he also biz savagcy, the sentinel having fred, but
most unfortunately missed his aim. From the guard
honse the wolf next dashed to the hospital, and
made an assault upon of the men there stationed,
almost tearing his right from his body after first
taking off finger entire. He then. attacked and mu
ated coored soldier of the Tenth Cavalry, and sub
eequeny entered the quarters Of the laundress while
