THE Imperialist, about which SO
much noise is made just now, is
said to have been started and is now
conducted by q parcel of New York
Democrats, who are sincerely of
the opinion, which we find so often
expressed in the Democratic news
papers, that the Government OF
the United States is failure, the
Constitution no longer of any
account, and the liberties Of the
people destroyed. There is strong
probability of the correctness OF
this report. The difference be-
tween the Imperialist and the Dem
ocrotic press consists in this: The
former offers a substitute for the
popular fiasco. the latter contents
itself with simply pronouncing the
experiment of self government 6
tlelusion; the one carries its reason
ing forward to practical conclu
sion, the other declines to help us
out of q predicament. AS the Re
publicans have faith in the Gov.
ernment, and believe the Constitu-
ton capable of Improvements by
rigorous amendment. and insist that
self government is destined to have
its vindication in great nationality
embracing the whole continent, it is
absurd to charge them with the
establishment of newspaper in
which to advocate a radical change
in tie form of government and the
surrender of civil and politica
power into the hands ofan autocrat
The Imperialist is the genuine fruit
of Democratic assertions and ar
gument.-C Gin. Commercial.

IT will be known some day how
wise and true. how sound and
a sensible man this nation possesses
in Mr.. Frederick Douglass. In
intellectual vigor, in ripe experiance,
in tried patriotism, and above all in
the precious quality Of common
sense, he has few superiors among
the public men of his time. We
have known him long and we'll
not merely as thousands OF his
fellow countrymen know him, by
mere superficial acquaintance, but
through and through to the hearts

ACURIOUS LETTER.
Louis Napoleon's Own Story OF
His Escape From the Fortress
of Ham in 1916.

The following is a translation Of
a hitherto unpublished letter writ
ten by Louis Napoleon just after
his escape from the Fortress of Ham
to the editor Of newspaper to
which he had contributed during
his imprisonment. In a certain
poverty and awkwardness Of diction
it is faithful to the original, which
was evidently not intended for pub
Ecation
My DEAR MIR. DEGEoRGE: The
desire ct once more seeing my faith
er in this life has made me attempt
| the boldest undertaken that | have
ever attempted, and for which l
needed more firmness and courage
than at Strasbourg and Bpulogne,
| for l was resolved not to endure the
| ridicule that fastens on those who
are arrested under disguise, and 4
failure would have been no longer
endurable. But to come to the par
ticulars of my escape:
You know the ford was guarded
by fore hundred men, who furnished
daily guard Of sixty soldiers, who
were on duty within and without
the fort; furthermore the door OF
the prisonzwas guarded by three
jailers, two Of whom were always on
duty. 1t was necessary, therefore,
in the first place, to pass before
them, then to traverse all the inner
court before the windows Of the
Commandant having reached there
it was necessary to pass through tue
gate where were an orderly and 4
sergeant, a gatekeeper, sentinel
and finally. post of thirty men.
Not having been willing to estab-
lished any communication { with q
corruptible jailer Or so), disguise
was of course, necessary. Now as
several rooms of the building l in
habited were undergoing repairs. ii
was easy to take the costume of q
workman. My good and faithful
Charles Thelin procured blouse
and wooden shoes. / cut off my
mustache and took a board on my
shoulders.
Monday morning 1 saw the work
men come in at Ct o'clock. When
they were at work Charles took
some drink to them in a room, SO
as to get them out of my way: he
was also to call one keeper up stairs
while Doctor was talking with the
others.
| Meanwhile, was hardly out oi
my room when / was acosted by 8
workman, who followed me, taking
me for one OF his comrades; at the
foot of the staircase ] found myself
front to front with keeper. Luck.
lily put the board before his face
and reached the court, always hold
ing the board between myself and
the sentinel and those whom l met
When passing before the frs
sentinel 1 let fall my pipe, but step
ped to pick Zip the pieces. Then ]
met the officer Of the guard, but he
was reading letter and did not no
tice me. The soldiers of the pos
lat the gate seemed to wonder at my

lress; the drummer in particular

dress; the drummer in particular
turned several times to look.
Meanwhile, the orderlics opened
the door and found myself outside
the fortress; there / met two work
men, who were coming toward me,
and looked at me attentively.
then turned the board on their side,
but they appeared so inquisitive
that thought 1 could not escape
them, when l heard them exclaim;
oh! 1t is Berlhroud."
Once on the outside, / walked
rapidly toward the Saint Quentin
| road.
A little later, CT aries, who had
engaged a carriage for himself the
preceding day, overlook me, and
we reached Saint Quentin.
I passed through the town on
foot, after taking off my blouse.
Charles had procured a post car
riage, under pretense Of going to
the races at Cambria We reached
Valenciennes without difficulty
where l took the railway
I had obtained a Belgium pass
port, but it has nowhere been asked
for. During this time Conneau
always So devoted, remained in pris
IN. and gave out that 1 was i'll, SC
as to give me time to reach the
frontier
/ hope he will not have been i'll
treated; hat would be. as you may
suppose, a great grief for me.
But my dear Mr. Degeorge, if ]
experienced a lively sentiment c1
joy when l found myself outside the
fortress, was very sadly impressed
on passing the frontier; the Ger
taintv that the Government woulG
never set me at liberty, unless con
sented to dishonor myself, was
necessary to decide me to qui
France; finally, it wasnecessary tha
l should be urged to this step b,
the desire of trying all means te
console my father in his old age
Adien, my dear Mr. Degeorge. Al
though free, feel myself very un
fortunate. Be assured of my warn
friendship, and. if you can, try tx

AN APRIL WELCOME.
By PHEBE CARY

Come up, April. through the valley,
In your robes of beauty drest.
Come and wake your flowery children
From their wintry beds of rest;
Come and OVERFLOW them softly
With the sweet breath of the South;
Drop upon them, warm and loving,
Tenderest kisses of your mouth.
Touch them with yo, + fingers,
Wake them with your plcasa ant tread,
Push away the leaf brown covers,
Over all their faces spread;
Tell them how the sun Is waiting
Longer daily in the skies, AS =
Looking for the bright uplifting
OF their ly-fringed eyes
Call the crow foot and the clo ocus,
Cal! the pale anemone.
Call the violet ant the daisy,
Clothed with careful modesty;
Seek the low and humble blossoms
or their beauties unaware
Let the danlelion and fennel,
Show their shining yellow hair.
Bid the little homely sparrows
Chirping, in the cold and rain,
Their impatient sweet complaing,
Sing out from their hearts again;
Bid them set themselves to mating,
Cooin, love in softest words,
Crowd their nests, all cold and empty,
Full of little cailow birds.
Come up, April. through the valley,
Where the fountain sleeps day,
Let him, freed from icy .etters,
Go rejoicing on his way;
Through the flow er-enameled meadows
Let him run his laughing race,
Making love to all the blossoms
That o'ellean and kiss his face.
But not birds and blossoms only,
Not alone the streams complain,
Men and maidens. too, are calling,
Come up. April, come againl
Waiting with the sweet impatience
OF lover for the hours
They shall set the tender beauty
OF thy feet among the flowers!

KILLED On last Saturday week
Wilbert Jones, whose parents re
side about a mile from Spring
Hills, near the Logan county line
went to the woods with team
after wood, in company with &
younger brother and another lad
While cutting down a tree. Wilber
attempted to get out of its way
before it fell, but the limbs struck
him, fracturing his skull, and killing
him instantly.-Urbana Gasetts.

An ElOpement under Difficult
ties and Married at Last.


The Kenton Republican of last
week says:
1t is often said that the course of
true love never runs smooth and
many ardent lovers find it to be
true.
This was the case with a young
couple that arrived in this town a
few days ago for the purpose Of
launching their craft on the sea Of
matrimony.
The story as we learn it is as fol-
lows:
A youth by the name of Everett,
residing within dozen miles or 50
of Columbus, became enamored Of a
faic daughter Of one Of his neigh
bors and resolved to win her for his
wife. The girls father was not
exactly pleased with the course
matters were taking and put a veto
on the young mans liberty to call
at the house. But love, like coal
oil on fire, becomes brighter the
more you try to extinguish the
fame, and SO our young lovers re
solved to fly from friends and
home
On Sunday evening they took
their departure for Indiana, but
finding unexpected difficulties in the
way, they turned their course to
this place, where they arrived on
the Monday night train and took
rooms at the Reis House.
! Fearing to remain long enough to
send for some friends in the coun,
try, they resolved to leave the hotel
as early as possible to avoid pur-
suit and capture. So procuring 6
team at the livery stable, they took
an earley start westward, but mis-
sing the road they should have
taken. were nearly to Ada before
discovering their mistake. Some
time in the afternoon they fount
the friends of whom they we're ir
search and aid was at once prof
fered to procure the license. b;
the time that was obtained 1t was
late in the evening and the wedding
was deferred till Wednesday morn
ing, when the marriage ceremony
was duly performed, the twair
we're made one, and after dinner
they returned to the Refs House
ready TO meet and heartily weicom;
any friends from home who nigh
be on the lookout for their wei
fare.
And sure enough, when the nigh
train from the South arrived, i
brought an uncle of the young
lady, in search Of the wanderers
but finding them already married
and safely slowed away in the bes
room Of the Refs House, he con
cluded to retire and will probably
renew his acquaintance with then
this morning.
They are a neat looking couple
rather young for such move il
life, but we sincerely wish then
true happiness and long and pros
!. porous life journey.
We learn that they belong tt
good families and when they return
will no doubt be gladly welcomed
back to home end friends.

GOOD NIGHT, KITTY MAY.

by CHAS. MCLEAN MC1LFAlS.
Good night, good night, Kitty May,
With spirit light,
This starry light;
Flowers thy pathway throng;
Kitty, with the jewels in thy hair.
Listen to the poets song.
Good night, good night, Kitty May;
So free from care.
And so very fair,
With eyes of deepest blue,
And cheeks radiant with smiles,
Sweet Kitty, just and true.
Good night, good night, Kitty May,
With ringlets bright,
Alone to nis;ht
Life's choicest hours are thine,
Clustered with thy love and purity,
That make thy form divine,
Good night. good night, darling Kitty;
Sleep very lightly,
Dream very bri shtly.
Angels around tkee wiil stray,
And watch by thy downy pillow,
TIL the dawn of the day.
