Coming 10 Ihe Rescue.

Nothing gratities us more than the
readiness into which the Democratic
journalists of this State, who opposed the
the nomination Of Greeley by the Ma
tional Democratic Convention, in adj
vance Of the meeting Of that body, as
they had a perfect right to do without
having their motives questioned-have
bowed to the decision of the highest tri-
bunal Of their party, and entered the
ranks to do battle for the overthrow OF
the Grant despotism under its chosen
leader Col. A. Y. Harper of the
States newspaper, in the conclusion Of a
graphic exposition Of the situation in
which the Southern communities are
placed, says:
Let us look to this new hope in the con-
tidence that something yet may be saved
from the wreck that has Sickened the true
patriot during the last decade Let us at
least. place the banner on the battlements
of despotism and make bold assault upon
the strongest works, if we die in the attempt
to make the breach No sentimentalism
here. now, but the earnestness of men that
the oppressed citizen-tOr the saving of the
Inheritance.
Dr. Fant's (West Point) Citizen con-
tains strong article on the fundamental
creed of the party of strict construction,
setting forth the grounds ofits previous OPP
position to the acceptance of Greeley as
the candidate of the Democracy-but
says:
Feeling a conscience void of offence in
our efforts to maintain the principles of
Constitutional liberty, we bow to the will
of the people as expressed through the Bal
timore Convention, but without the sur
render of Il single principle which VIC en-
tertain and cherish.
The Oxford Falcon sees nothing which
promises deliverance from the course of
Radical misrule but the support of
Greeley under the cirumseances it
says:
With this long, black catalogue of evils
inflicted upon the country staring us in the
tace and ringing in our ears, we turn from
freedoms shrine, where lie embalmed the
hopes OF the people, with deep, solemn
ard lasting protest against the outrage, and
will vote for Greeley i'll preference TO
Grant.
The DeSoto Times brings forcibly to
the intelligence Of its readers the good
ends that Twill be gained" by the election
of Greeley in preference to Grant, and
declares its choi ce in the words:
We still believe it would have been bet
ter lin the long rum to have scorned the
proposition to cealesce, bat as we are in the
minority, we good naturedly yield to the
majority and TO those who are worthy to be
trusted, and are going to make the best we
can ont of a very bad thing, for surely '"tis

VVhsas th. Election Involve.

What the Election Involves.
Let it be remembered that the election
OF Greeley viii mean peace, reconcilia
ton and the opportunity to the Southern
people of starting out in a new career
free from the burdens by which they are
overloaded under the Radical regime.
And let it also be remembered that the
reelection of Grant means a continue
ton of strife; of unsupportable burdens
and the enforcement of martial law with
all It's terrors, in place Of civil govern
ment
The Convention of Office-hoIders who
nominated Grant at Philadelphia, was a
war Convention. 1t was as warlike in
It's tone and spirit as if it had met to or
ganize an army for the invasion of the
South. The speeches Of his fuglemen are
war speeches. His personal organ at
Washington, headed the proceedings Of
the Convention with the ominous title,
the a." War Spirit Revived" A telegram
to member of his household announcing
his denomination, contained the prayer,
. that his life might be spared until he
had wiped out the last vestage of the re-
belllon. (We know what that means J
Ben. Butler in addressing Grant rati-
cation meeting at Boston, declared that
''the revolution commenced in 1861, had
not yet ended, and that he knew of old
muskets and uniforms that would again
be brought into requisition." The or
gans of the administration all clamor, not
for the peace and reconciliation Of the
lately beligerent sections, but for their hui
initiation and degradation.
Let it be remembered that the Office
holders Convention committed the Rad
ical party to il continuation Of its hostile
legislation against the prescribed South
eIn people Their candidate occupies
this position, and stands upon his record
of four years oppression Of those com
munities and Of their robbery through
the Carpet-bag agencies. Hence all
Southern men are compelled by the in
stinct Of selfpreservation, as well as the
promptings of patriotism, to use their
utmost efforts to prevent his atprtion.-
The people Of both races are alike inter
ested in this result As to the men OF
the prescribed race, their support ofhim
involves personal dishonor. The South
ern man who wears the Grant collar is to
be classed with the Spaniel that licks the
foot which kicks him or the base wretch
who barters his birthright, or sells his
people, for gold or for office.

AT Full Speed---A Remark

From the Chicago Tribune.

L rom lilt AtlCdRO tribune.
Coming into the city on a c., b. and
q. train, as it entered the suburbs yes
terday, youngster about 10 years old,
with one leg amputated to very brief
stump, was observed handling his crutch
briskly along the side of the track, evil
IDENTIFY with a skilled purpose to get his
momentum up to that Of the rapidly
moving train. He did it and climbed
upon the rear platform, and sat down as
cool as though his feat had not excited
the wonder of a score Of passengers who
watched him. The appearance was as
if a lame lad had taken some risk to
secure a ride downward But ut Canal
street he climbed down from his perch,
and went back down the track with flying
leaps, like kangaroo, with the evident
purpose Of boarding long freight train,
already under good headway in the op-
posite direction. 1t was an exploit only
the most adroit (and venturesome) rail
way employe would think Of attempting,
50 great was the speed Of the train; but
again the brisk monopede achieved it,
clung like a Monkey to the iron ladder
on the side of the car, near the rear Of
the train, and went up, hand over hand,
with his crutches under his arm The
next instant he was running or rather
hopping with long leaps Mt full speed
along the top Of the cars, taking the
interspaces as easily as boy skips over
crosswAlk And then we learn that
this nudge is the victim Of an extraordi-
nary passion for riding on the ears. OF
course he lost his leg in this way at the
Great Eastern crossing eighteen months
ago, and was provided with attendance
and light crutch by the railroad compa-
ny. Any one would think the loss of
a leg would be lesson for lifetime, but
instantly on recovery he resumed his
sport, which mad become a passion
Since that time he passes his whole day
in the manner above noticed. His mis-
fortune has really equipped him with
means of locomotion with which he dis
tances all two legged youngsters. lie
captures every train that passes, takes
excursions into the country at will, sure
of being able to compass his return in
the same way. Railroad employees scold
and put him off, but his crippled eondi-
ton secures Kim immunity, and as he
never mounts a train until ii is in motion,
he gives them the option to stop the train
or throw him off. There is no moral to
the story beyond the mention Of the
fact If the loss of leg is no lesson to
boys to keep off moving trains, there
seems to be no remedy except to shorten
them at the other end. Perhaps, after
all, it is as well for the trains TO carry
this youngster as prominent advertise
ment to other lads of the peril of the
practice of which he is so noted an exam

Is the basis Of diseases Of every kind.

Damaged corn is exceedingly injurious,
becaIse it brings on inflammation Of the

Chaf Is better for old horses than hay,
because they can chew and digest II
better
Mix chaf with corn or beans, and do
not give the latter alone, because it will
make the horse chew his food more and
digest it better.
Hay or grass alone will not support a
horse under hard work, because there is
not sufficient nutritive body in either.
When a horse is not worked hard is
food should be chiefly hay, because oats
supply more nourishment and fesh-mak-
ing materials than any other kind of food +;
hay not so much.

Lynch Law i'm OhiO--A Horrible
Crime Avenged.

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati En-

The climax to one of the greatest and
most horrible murders recorded in the an
mails of crime. took place this day, near the
town of Celina, Mercer county. Absalom
kimble, Jacob kimble and Alex McCloud
We're taken from the jail of Mercer county,
by the infuriated and outraged citizens of
that county, and hung, as it is supposed, at
the place where their hellish designs were
accomplished.
On Sunday, the 23d ult, as little Mary
Belle Secor, aged fourteen years, an orphan,
was returning from church, and while pass
ing through a strip of Woods,she was seized
by these fends, carried to an obscure place,
and her person outraged. Not content with
committing SO horrible crime, and to COW
er up their guilt, as they supposed more eff
fectually, they took club and in n shock
ing manner broke in her skull. This would
have sufliced for the most hardened crim-
mails known to modern crime; but not so
with these villains. They cut aud severed
her head from the body, cut out the intes-
tines, and so distigured her otherwise that
it would have been impossible to diStin-
guiSh her sex only by the physique. They
then left the mangled body in the woods, to
be eaten by the hogs.
The body was not found until the follow
ing Tuesday Supicion at once placed the
crime at Ihe doors of the more than muir
derers. Arrests were Immediately made,
and preliminary examination was had.
One of the scoundrels turned States evil
dence, but his testimony was objected to by
the defendants, on the ground that it was
made under fear and the hope of reward,
which objection was sustained by the ex-
amining court. This so enra9ed tie citizens
and fearing that through the technicalities
of the law justice would not be meted out,
they concluded that the example set by
their neighboring State of Indiana, in their
summary lvnching Of the Seymour Express
robbers. would have wholesome effect.
Accordingly about three o'clock this NOR
ming the citizens of Mercer county gather
ed about their county Jail seized the guards
and sheriff, took the keys, unlocked the cell
doors, ana when once in possession OF their
game. started with them to the spot where
the murder was commltted, there to let the
wretches expiate their crime.

town and sold them for a dollar. With
the dollar he bought a sheep. The sheep
brought him lamb, and the fleece

another sheep. The next year he had
two sheep two lambs and yearIing
sheep. The three heeces he sold for
three dollars, and bought three more
sheep. He now had cIght with fair
prospect, He worked where he found
opportunity, for hay, corn and oats, and
pasturing for his sheep. He took the

pasture for them, and by the time he
was twenty-one he had fair start in life,

why DO Animals need salt.

Prof james H. johnson, of Scotland
says that half the saline matter Of the
blood (75 per cent? consists of common
salt, and as this is partly dissolved every
day through the skin and kidneys, the
necessity of continued supplies of it to
the healthy body is sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda Zone of the
ingredients of salt) as special and in
dispensable constituent, and so do all the
cartilages of the body Stint the supply
of salt, and neither will the bile be able
properly to assist digestion nor the carti-
lagos to be built up again as fast as they
naturally waste. 1t Is better to place
salt where the stock can have free access
to it than to give it occasionally in small
quantities. They will help themselves
to what they need, if allowed to do so at
pleasure, otherwise when they become
salt hungry, they may take more than is
wholesome.
