Here is the best bed-bug story
now afoat:
"Talk about bed-bugs," said
Bill Jones, who had been across
the plains, "you should have seen
some of the critters I met in Idaho
last spring. I stopped one night
with some settlers, who lived in a
log cabin containing one room
and loft. When it came time
to go to bed, they strung a blan-
ket across the middle of the room,
and the settlers family slept on
one side of it and gave me the
t'other / laid down to go to sleep,
and the bed-bugs began to gather
like lunch fiends around a free
'lay OUT l tried to kiver up and
keep away from them, but the
pesky varmint would catch hold
of the bed-elothes and pull them
off from me. They didn't think
nothin' of dragging me around the
room if / held on. / fit 'em till
about midnight, andt then 1 Hooked
round for some way to escape.
There was a ladder reachin' up
into the loft, and I thought the
best way to get away from the
blood suckers was to climb up
thar, so / did. There wasn' any
bugs in the loft, and / laid con-
gratulatin' myself on my escape.
Pretty quick 1 heard the ladder
squeaking as if somebody was
comm up. Bimeby I saw a bed
bug raise himself up through the
hole in the floor lookin' carefully
around the loft. Soon's he saw
me he motioned to his chums be-
low, the bloodthirsty cuss, and
cried exultin'ly, come up boys; he's

If honest and efficient men
can be chosen by the Democrat
ic Party to I'LL our offices of
trust; if "retrenchment and re-
form" can be substituted for
the prescott systematic plum
dering," we can yet redeem our
State and restore her credit
If there should be only a
change in name and a substitu-
ton of a hungry set of plumber
ers for those already satiated
and gorged, no good will be
accomplished. 1t is with the
people to select men ofintegri-
iy; of sobriety and ofgood bus
mess habits, men who represent
as we'll the property as the in
telligence of the country. The
pot-house politician, the man of
desperate fortune, and those
who would carry their point by
violence or fraud-all such men
should be placed on the retired
list and should be numbered
among the "dead issues" We
believe that the Democratic
party, upon broad national
grounds, can obtain a majority
at the polls in two-thirds of the
States, if the hot-headed, in
tractible political hacks and
wordy worriors were suppress
ed.
The safety of Republican in
situations depend upon the ex-
istence of two strong parties to
hold each other in check. The
Republican party has been in
power SO long thatit has grown
corrupt, and now requires
wholesome restraints and de-
cided defeats, as measures of
purification.-[Caddo Gazette.

In these times we care but
little for creeds and platforms
in this State. The people should
select only those who can take
the oath of Office if elected
The other leading qualifications
should be, is he honest and COM
petent. This will insure them
against the possibility of elect
ing a Radical in any instance,
and that is enough for one time.
1t is our honest opinion, that if
the present abominable State
Government is defeated, in the
coming fall election, it will be
by the people electing good
men, and true, upon any local
issue-that they may, and not
exclusively by the success of
the Democratic organization as

Berlin, July 23.-The only writ
ten document which Prussia has

ginning of the quarrel reached
Berlin on Tuesday last and was a
declaratian of war. It declares
the Emperor of France is obliged
to consider the proposal to the
Prussian Prince to the throne OF
Spain as an attack on the security
OF France, and he desires Prussia
to disavow the scheme. This
Prussia refused to do, reserving
her right to be governed by cir
cumstances. The Emperor says
he is forced to consider this de-
termination as equally menacing
to France and the European equi-
ibrium, and particularly as it was
rendered more significant by COM
munication made by Prussia and
the cabinets of Europe giving an
account of the refusal to receive
the French ambassador. The pa
per concludes: The French gov
eminent, therefore, in taking steps
for the defence of it's honor and in
jured interests, and having adopt
ed all measures which the circum-
stances render necessary, consid-
ers itself at war with Prussia.
