LOVE OF BULL-FROs.-On the evening
Of the 25th of March, the alarm drum
was beaten in Erfnrt in North Ger
many the tocsin sounded; landwehr-
men and regular troops rushed to their
barracks, and the whole population of
the city was on the streets chasing and
heating every French prisoner whom
they met, and wounding some of them
very seriously. The cause of the dis
turhance was soon discovered to be the
irrepressible love of the French prise
ners for frogs legs. Seven of them re-
crived permission tn hunt for bnllfrogs
but they had tn be back IN the priso-
ners' camp at o'clock in the evening.
They returned too late and were pun
ished by being s'tled up'' for an hour
in the same manner as is usual in the
American army. Sncli punishment not
being permitted in the French army,
the prisoners united their comrades.
The German guard, consisting only of
forty men and a sergeant, tied them
up again, hut as they were aware OF
the impossibility of maintaining them.

Whatever may be the causes, nobody
can dispute the fact that the Democra
tic party is great deal stronger at
present than it was four or five years
ago when all the Republican journals
were employed in erecting its tomb
stone and engraving its epi'aph. None
of them talk of collins and tombstones
now. The ikening of the party to the
Hartford Convention Federalists was
long ago dropped. Morton, Grant and
Colfax have opened the Presidential
campaign full year in advance of the
usual time, because they fear the grow
ing strength of the Democracy, and
they resort to wholesale defamation
and calumny because they know tn, V

ton of the real issues. The Tribune
has again and again predicted that the
election OF next yeat will be one of the
most strenuous and holly contested in
our political history. Surely, the Re-
publicans have ceased to believe that
in coming into the field against the
Democracy they are fighting IL corpse

SHOT WHILE KILLING A BEAR.-A
very distressing accident by which a
young man lost his life at the hands of
his friend and companion, occurred at
Louisville, about 3 O'Clock, on the 9th
inst. Andrew Schaick has kept for
several weaks a full grown bear chain
ed in his back yard, intending, at Il
suitable time, to butcher it. 1t being
known to several in the neighhorhood
that that afternoon was selected for
that purpose, Henry Resch, Fred He's
er, and two or three others, went to
Schaick's to participate in the fiolic.
Heser and Resch were to have the first
chance at the brute, the former proTl 4
ding himself with what is known us a
target rifle with hair trigger and globe
sight, and the latter double barreled
shotgun. 1t was agreed that Heser
was to shoot first, and in the event OF
his simply wounding the bear, Resch
was to use his shotgun. In maneuv-
ring for a position, and getting into a
favorable light, the rifle was accident
ally discharged, the ball--a conical
one-enteriug the right leg of Mr.
Resch and lodging in the left groin. II
seems that Heser was holding the rife
at arms length in front of his body
and had sent some one to make the
bear change his position, the better te
insure dead shot. Mr.. Resch, Mr.
Heser. and the bear were occupying
the three corners of triangle with re-
ference to each ether and only IL few
feet apart when the gun was discharg
ed. Though all was done that coult
be by his friends and physicians, thu
wounded man died in just two hour:
after being shot, never recovering from
the shock and loss of blood during thu
interval. His father and brother were
at his bedside when he died and thei
grief was uncontrollabie. Heser wa
at once arrested and lodged in thu
station house, but the jury of in
quest, which assembled about dark, re
turned a verdict of death by accidental
causes Exchange.

~ The Golden Age" recently de

~ The Golden Age" recently de-
livered itself of the following moroccan !:
"Repnblicans as we are-yea, radical
among Iadicals-we believe that the
greatest blessing that could befall the
nation in 1872, would be to see the
Democratic party ratify the arbitra'
ment of the war, accept the plan of re-
construction, carry out the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments, forget that
the negro is black to remember that he
is citizen, declares itself against the
rebel debt, and then, or the basis OF
universal amnesty, including the abrO-
CATION of all political disabilities, take
Victorious possession of a government
which President Grant has failed to add
minister to the satisfaction of the conn-
try"
The Age is evidently under the i'm
preston that the Democrats will be
victorious in the campaign ofls72; and
is preparing to fall as lightly as posi-
ble. When a Democratic administra-
ton is inaugnrated the Age will hard
ly be called on to furnish programme
tor it's observance. Its policy will be
too we'll defined to be misunderstood.
