ANTED-The address of the recog
nized leaders the Democatic party. and q
copy OF Democrat journal that expresses
the sentiments of that party, are wanted at
the headquarters of the West township
Democracy No Grant beater's organ is
wanted, but an honest straight forward DO
iltlcal Jourunal that knows the principles
OF the great party Of yore
The faithful of our township wants to
know whether they have party and prin-
clples or whether they must support an
Ola philosopher who was unable to re-
celve nomination at home which he has
long sought, and thus give themselves
over TO any thing to beat Grant" The
poor fellows don't know whether thev are
ne, she, or 1t. The present attitude ofthat
party reminds US OF an old peacock we OBJ
served on fence not long since. Wishing
to get back from whence he came, he con-
cluded to turn himself around but while
making the attempt, (all the time irving
to retain his narrow foot holdl his tail
usually easily managed, became uncon-
trollable in consequence OF a strong blast
of wind meeting it as it was "swining
around" The poor fellow dashed to the
ground and as he was going thither he
uttered shrill cry which seemed to say
could not control my tail in that blast.
neither could | govern the current; and as
my feet were useless on such narrow plat
form, Gown go, head, tail and all. Alas
how pitiful is the condition of US children
OF circumstances. We see one difficulty
in applying the comparison, and that is to
distinguish the head from the tail This
being the case, we do not know where the
thing is trying to go.
Locals interesting to the pubic are
scarce this week. Last week we had
another wedding followed by grand old
country serenade by ladies and gentlemen
both married and single. Horns, bells
and good lungs, all well used, We're the
musical instruments Daniel Kelver, and
Katie Chrowl were the happy couple.
We were not there, but understand that
they had an amount OF fun
Will "Countrymen" please excuse us for
Ignoring his city in previous correspond
ence. We know where it is, but was never
inside Its corporation although we saw
building which must have been the post
office, Judging from his description of it.
Hope the z. NJ. knows that Greeley has
laid aside principles, white coat and all,
threatening to remove him for being an
office holder, fearful that he has cheated
somebody or somebody else.
we hope our Supervisors will gravel all
lie worst parts of our roads this spring
and summer. 1t would be an excellent
plan for farmers to subscribe money and
work in addition to the township fund,
and tx up our roads. VIII not some en-
! terprising person start subscription for
the Knox road? Nothing can add more to
the value of the farms along that road or
be more beneficial to those who travel it.
Do not denounce this ilea Immediately :;
but consider it candidly, and you can not
fail to see the advantage and profit to be
derived from an action of that kind.

The Democrats of St. Joseph County
are willing to cooperate with any body to
beat Grant. They are dissatisfied with
the Republican nominations for county
officers, and will probably secede and nom
mate an independent ticket.

We opposed General Packard S nomina-

yield gracefully to the will of the majority
and will give him generous and hearty
support, not because our opinion of the
gentleman has changed, but because
he has been made the standard bearer of
the party.

JUDGE DAVIS RICHES.

The Hartford Times says Judge
Davis. of Illinois, is a rich man The
public may not know how he became
wealthy, About thirty-hve years ago,
when Judge Davis was pructicing
lawyer in the West, he was employed
by a Connecticut man to collect $500.
Davis went to the place where the
debtor lived, and found him to be rich
in landed possessions, but without a
spare dollar in money lie finally
settled the bill by giving deed for a
tract Of land--a fiat, moist and unde
sirable piece Of land in appearance,
lying close by sheet Of water, and
consisting perhaps OF sixty es.-
Davis subsequently met his Connect
cut client in St.. Louis, when the lat
ter (who seemed not to have the usual
Connecticut shrewdness) fell to aud
gave him regular blowing up" for
taking the land rather than insisting
upon taking the $500 in cash Ne
didn't want any Of the western land,
and he told Davis that, having accep-
ted it in payment for the debt, he had
better kept it himself, and pay over
the money out Of his own pocket, To
this Davis agreed. Stepping into a
friends Office he borrowed $500, took
the Connecticut man's rece,p, for the
land, and held the land for a rise
That land now forms part OF one Of the
suburbs Of Chicago, Judge Davis has
sold two or three hundred thousand
dollars worth of it, and has nearly a
million dollars worth left. 1t is n
striking example of what the possess
ion Of western property has done for
its western holder; and as the story
has never been printed We thought ii
would be interesting enough to pub

DRESS PLAINLY on SuNDAY.-1t

DRESS PLAINLY on SuNDAY.--1t
would Lessen the burdens Of many who
find it hard to maintain their place in
society. It would lessen the force Of
temptations which often lead men to
barter their honor and honesty for
display. If there was less strife in
dress at church people in moderate
circumstances would be more inclined
to attend Universal moderation in
dress at church, would improve the
worship of many wandering thoughts.
1t would enable all classes Of people
to attend church better in unfavorable
weather. /. would lessen, on the part
OF the rich, the temptation Of vanity.
1t would lessen, on the part of the
poor, the nrtation to be envions
malicious 1t would save valuable
time on the Sabbath. 1t would re-
lieve our means from serious pressure,
and thus enable us to do more good.
Work AND WIN.-Whatever YOU
try to do in life, try with all your
heart to do we'll; whatever you de-
vote yourself to, devote yourself COM
pletely in great aims and small, be
thoroughly in earnest. Never believe
it possible that any natural or improv-
ed ability can claim immunity from
companionship Of the steady, plain
hard working qualities, and hope to
gain its end. There is no such thing
as fulhllment on this earth. Some
happy talent and some fortunate op-
poriunitv may form the two sides of
the ladder on which some men mount,
but the rounds of that ladder must be
matle Of stuff to stand the wear and
tear; and there is no substitute for
the thorough going, ardent, and sin
cere earnestness. Never put your on
hand on anything on which YOU can
not throw Your whole self; never
effect depreciation of your work
whatever it is. These YOU will find
to be golden rules,
