FORESTER.

Forester, the suspected Nathan
murderer, continues to sustain his
reputation as the "best hider in the
world.' The following instance of
his daring is related: "a few months
since a number of his friends were
confined'i in one of the stoutest jalls
in New York State. The crime
which they were in for was certain
to give each a long sentence, and
their friends used every endeavor to
get them out, without avail, until
Forester took the matter in hand.
One dark night he went to the Jail, ,and
climbing over twelve-foot wal, got
to the inside door. Picking the
lock of it with tool used for that
purpose, he passed INTO another
room where he found the turnkey
lying on a cot asleep. Going up to
him Forester very adroitly alb
stractcd the keys from his belt, and
proceeding directly to the cell, un-
locked the door and liberated his
friends, three in number-all making
their escape without being seen.
After getting his friends out Forres-
ter locked the cell doors, and going
back to where the jailor was lying,
coolly replaced the keys in his belt,
and going out through the same
door, locked it with the same instru-
ment with which he had effected an
entrance" Many other instances
of his daring are related, but this
will give an idea of the kind of q
man he is-one who takes desperate
chances, and generally comes
through successful.

CHOLERA AND SMALLPOX.

Cholera seems likely to supple
ment the devastations of war in and
around Paris. 1t has already be-
gun to appear in incipient forms,
and its development in most viru-
lent activity is expected. Should
such expectations be realized, Paris
will be isolated as effectually during
the coming summer, as though il
were besieged by an invading army.
1t is entirely probable that there will
be a vast deal of sickness on the con.
tinent and in England during the
year. The smallpox is now raging
in London, and it is said to be of .
most malignant type. Very unusu,
al precautions are taken at quaran-
tine, to prevent the importation o
the disease, by means of emigrants
Recently an entire shipload of emf
grants were vaccinated at Quaran
tine, in New York harbor, before
they were permitted to enter the
city.

FROM PARIS.

The Commune Army, according
to reports from Francois dwindline
into insignificance. Their forts
are being rapidly battered down.
The Versailles forces sc en- to
he victorious at all points. The
end is beginning to dawn.
Bismarck is reported to have no.
titled the Communists in Paris, that
in ease of injury occurring to tho
Arcbbishops of Paris, the Germans
would give their strength IN favor
of the Versailles Government. This
will render the Archbishop as safe
rs though he were surrounded by
solid ramparts. There is just one
thing in this world the French have
respect for and that is, the military
strength of the Germans.

An Editorial life--Facts in the Life of
John Saxton.

John SaXton, editor of the Canton
Repository, Canton, Stark county,
Ohio,died on Saturday April 18th at
the age of 81. Mr.. Saxton was the
oldest editor in the United States,
was the veteran Of the American
press, and was perhaps, one of the
best and purest men connected with
the fraternity. He commenced the
publication of the Stark county Re
pository about the year 1914, and
published it consecutively for 81
years. During all this period he
worked at the case as well as wrote
editorials, and selected matter for
his paper. He had been in easy
circumstances for many years, but
from sheer force of habit continued
to set type and do other manual Ia
Dor on the paper, almost to the day
of his death. He was man of ex-
ceedingly temperate habits, and en-
joyed such excellent health that he
hardly knew what it was to be sick.
1t is related of him that last sum-
mer, when the news came of the sur
render Of Napoleon I'LL, at Sedan,
to the Germans, he copied, from his
files of fifty years preceding, the
account of the surrender, after Wa
terloo, of Napoleon l., tifty-fiye years
before, to the Germans and British.
and wrote very touching article on
the uncertainty and mutability of
human affairs. Mr.. SaxtOn cast his
first presidential vote for JAS. Madi-
son. He subsequently voted for
Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Henry
Clay in 1882, General Harrison in
1886, Harrison in 1910, Clay in 1874,
General Taylor in 1S4S. General
Scott in 1852, General Fremont in
1856, Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and
1864, and General Grant in 1868.
His political creed was first Repub-
lican, then Whig, then again Repub-
lican, in which faith he died.
No. other man in the United States
ever published newspaper contin-
uously so long as did Mr.. Saxton,
and no man with more propriety.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL ADDRESS.

The Democratic National Address
has fallen perfectly fat, and is jeer-
ed at by all but a few small Demo
cratic papers. Even the New York
World does not condescend to hon
or it with a passing editorial notice
in its Fridays issue. Its utter lack
of positiveness, its silly attempt to
dodge any expression toward the
amendments to the National Consti
tuition, the general manner in which
it arraigns the administration, and
its utter lack of propositions for re-
form Of what it alleges to be abuses
stamps it as a fourth rate election.

LAKE TRADE.
Millions of Dollars Worth of Vessel
Property Worthless.
The Chicago Republican SAYS

The Chicago Republican says:
Vessel owners are actually alarm
ed at the condition of freights, and
not without good cause. A few
weeks ago all was hope, but now,
with navigation hardly more than
open, they despair Of getting any
returns this season from their in
vestments. That there is too much
tonnage on the lakes for the trans
portation to be done is self-evident.
Like many other businesses, our lake
carrying trade is overrun. But were
it not for other drawbacks which
now present themselves, there would
be some margin for vessels, no mat
ter, comparatively speaking, how
small. BY the late opening OF the
Illinois and Michigan canal, fully
one million bushels of grain are cut
off from Chicago. The late open
ing of the Sault canal cuts off all
traffic in that direction, and, besides,
drives all the vessels plying between
lakes in the Chicago and lower lake
trade. Then there is to be taken
into consideration the strike in the
coal regions and the light cut of
lumber, wood, etc. The logging
season, the lumbermen say, amount
ed TO no time at all, the fine weather
coming on so soon that the product
could not be got to the mills. And
to make matters worse, rules for the
inspection of lumber have been
made at Saginaw which makes it nm
profitable to ship to Chicago. Yes
terday corn was taken from Chicago
to Buffalo at SIC. Vessels clear
daily wild for cargoes of lumber
on this lake, and in numerous cases,
after visiting several of the produ-
cling points, return here either light
or with some trifihg freight that
does not even pay for the sea stores
consumed outside. At Erie an oc-
casional cargo of coal is offered at
Soc. With this condition of things
in view and sailors wages at - per
day, it is easy to see whether YES
sells are making returns or not.
Just at present vessels are at great
expense, and there are no profits.
The truth is, millions of dollars
worth of property on the lakes isnot
only worthless, but is losing money
for its owners.

Buttermilk for Calves.

relation to feeding calves skim milk,
saying, 'Buttermilk and whey will

as at the East, are having hard luck
this spring in the municipal elections
in their own strongholds. After
losing Dubuque, Milwaukee, Madi-

Springfield, they are routed in theil
ancient stronghold, Quincy. They
have behaved SO corruptly, says the
Chicago Tribune, while in the con
troll of the municipal government o.
these cities, that the taxpayer:
could stand it no longer, and were
Obliged to eject them from power.
