Nothing can be found in the whole course
of history to equal the selling of the Politi-
cal vote here. Mr.. Devinney is the regular
Republican nominee for Senator, and tooth
and toe-nail for Clarke. Both parties are
almost unanimously against Clarke. Now,
here is a dilemma. The opposition TO Clarke
is stronger than fcalty To the nominations, in
view of the history of johnson County poll
ticians, and Marshall, Democratic nominee,
will he elected as the best anti-Clarke man.
More than that cannot be affected. Marshall
is war Democrat, and served a long term
in the army against the rebellion, coming out
as an officer. }. y. +.

attending court in a shire town, was passing
along read when boy was just letting
down the hars to drive some cattle in.
His father stood in the door Of his house,
on the opposite side of the road, and seeing
what his hopeful was doing, shouted os't:
John, don't drive them cattle in there;
I told you to put them in the pasture behind
the house"

remonstrance, and his fathsr repeated The
order in louder tone, without the least effect,
and the third time gave positive orders not

obeyed the parental injunction with cool
ness which positively shocked the Judge, who,
looking at the culprit, said, in tone Of cfii-
cial dignity: 49, e..
boy, don't you hear your father speak
"Oh, y-a-a-s," replied the boy, looking at
the Judge; "but don't mind what he says.
Mother don't neither, and tween she and l
we've about got the dog so he don't"
