How the Colonel Lost His Coffee.P Pot.

Don Piatt tells the following story of an English Colonel whom he met du- ring the war This Englishman had been fighting all sorts of wars in every part of the globe, for and against every body and every cause. His cool dis regard of danger, and at the same time his anxiety to get into quiet places and comfortable quarters, afforded us in- finite amusement. At the battle of Fredericksburg, Captain Meyers, of the Volunteer Artillery, found himself in a very exposed position, where he was doing no good, although he used due diligence, and firing away from his one battery in response to the concentrated fire of half 8 dozen. While thus en- gagged, and worried to see his men and horses killed, Colonel M. rode up.
 Hawt work, Captain, remarked the new conner, refining in his steed.
 Every hot," was the response.
 Never saw such day, Captain don't like it; you know I've been rather unfortunate. j While crossing that blarsted river I lost me coffee-pot. I've had that coffee-pot all through India and South America, and now I've lost 1t. I don't know what I'll do with out that coffee-pot."
 "Aw, Captain, I beg pawdon that monkey of an Adjutant sent me here to orier you out. The General says you're doing no good here; better get out, you know.
 "Why didn't you give me the order I've lost two men and three horses while you have talked about 8 coffee pot" :-;;
 "Never mind, Captain, beg pawdon I'll help you. We'll soon get out of range of the beggars. But an old cam paigner cannot lose his coffee-pot, you know"
 Further discourse was interrupted by shell that, exploding, blew up a caisson, and tumbled all that was left of the concern down the declevity in the rear. Colonel M. extricated him. self from dying horse, and, walking away, grumbled
 "Most unfortunate day; lost me cofee-pot, and now that horse; but the coffee-pot, you know, I cannot replace that; had it in India, and all over South America most unfortunate.

When cases of garget occur, the first thing to be done is to give the COW a pound and half of salts, and if this does not physic her in four hours, re- peat the dose. The next thing is to change her food from milk producing to some kind which will not produce much milk, as straw or over-ripe hay. l have never known a severe case of gar get cured. We sometimes get the bet ter of it for a short time, but a COW once having it bad will be almost sure to have it every time she catches cold, and 1t never grows less. Feed the COW for beef. So says Harris Lewis, the Herkimer county dairyman.

On our first page will be found
the Presidents Message in full.
The New York Sun, in speaking
of this document says: "The
message of Gen. Grant will dis
appoint the C untry generally.
and even the candi / members of
his own party. While dealing
seemingly somewhat in detail
with certain large questions up
on which the country desires to
know the opinions and purposes
of the Administration, they are
really handled IN a vague and
unsatisfactory manner, leaving
one about as much in doubt, after
reading the message through,
concerning what Gen. Giant and
his Cabinet believe and intend.
as on first taking up the docu-
ment."

Joke, Is for Carpenter to come

From the n. Y. Sun, Dec. o.

We yesterday had the fortune
to receive the following commu-
nication
"SIR: The course you are TAX
ing towards Spain ia running
your paper here and throughout
the West. At meeting here
last night you and your paper
were condemned as trying to
raise a war with noble old Spain,
that has done more for the hui
man family than all the other
nations of Europe together. The
resolutions passed declare that
you have been trying for years
past to get up a wal between the
United States and Spain, and
therefore that we as Democrats
cannot support you nor your
paper so long as you pursue your
present course. We are sorry to
abandon The Sun. Meetings are
to be held in other places.
MANY SUBSCRIBERS.
"LEwIsBURG, Preble County, Ohio
Nov. rs, 1873"
All the Democrats Of Prehle
county who are dissatisfied with
The Suns advocacy of Cuban in
dependence and willing that the
flag Of the United States should
be insulteG on the high sea- are
respectfully invited never to read
it again, and to find some other
paper that will be more agreea-
hle to their sentiments.
If there have been any anti-
Cuba war meetings held in Lew
isburg, by Democrats: or any
other partisans, our reporter at
that point, deserves to be quar-
tered for neglect of duty. We
are of the opinion, however, that
the above communication was
got up by some cowardly Radi.
cal that was a vigorous a man
during the late 'unpleasantness,'
but remained at home to abuse
his neighbors for not going into
the fight.

The Democratic party in New
York may congratulate itself that
the prosecution, conviction, and
twelve years sentence of Tweed
was principally due to the &C
tive influence of the prominent
men in its own ranks. The diff
ference between Democrats and
Republicans is, that while the
former publish and punish scoun-
drels in their own ranks, the lat
ter whitewash and screen theirs.
Let the editor of the Eaton Reg
aster make a note of this while
he is making merry and exulting
over the fact of the conviction of
a leading Democrat, for his steal
ing. Noyes is no better than
Tweed, and while the Democrats
sent their thief to the Penitentl-
airy, the Republicans made an
effort to elect theirs Governor of
the State Of Ohio. That is the
difference between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans of today.

The general opinion is that we
have touched the bottom of the
financial crisis, and that from the
present Il better state OF financial
affairs may be confidently ex.
pected. We are heartily glad
of this and think the facts war;
rant this conclusion. Business
appears to be everywhere i'm
proving and more confidence is
manifested in financial and bust
ness circles. Many of the rail
road companies are lie employing
their discharged hands and the
iron and other manufacturing
establishments are resuming bus
mess, and suspended bankers
have again opened their doors.
This is cheerful and makes US all
feel as if the wolf had been driv.

EVeh0t fEe People EGpect
- OF CONGRESS.

In the Forty-third Congress,
which assembled last Monday
week, the Republicans have ov-
erwhelming %majorities IN both
houses. That party will be held
to a rigid accountability for what
Congress does or fails to do to
get rid of the thieves and plum
derers, great and small, who have
so long ruled aud robbed the
people.
The minds of the people +
steadily fixed upon this particu-
lar subject and these particular
men. Long spun speeches and
harangues about Cuba and the
money panic, accompanied by
high sounding threats Of war
and shallow schemes of finance,
will not Ue allowed to divert pub
lie attention from the brazen
roguesHn Congress, and the NAL
teasenoss whereof they have been
proved gully. Everybody knows
who the culprits are and where
in they have offended; and all
good citizens regard it as among
the first duties Of Congress to
sweep its own halls clean of its
own rascal5.
Until the two Houses do this,
few people will he disposed to
listen patiently to their talk either
about the sacrednesa of the A
mericau flag or the expedie..cy
of specie payments. The peo-
pie don't want to be preached to
rby Credit Mobilier bribe~takers,
back-pay aud forwardspay grab
bers, and Pacific Railway swim
oilers /; by Senators who have
bought their seats and Represen-
tativeS who have sold their votes:
by politicians who fawn upon
power that they may enjoy Its
patronage, and covet places OF
trust that they may plumber the
public.
The first session of the pres.
ent Congress will have much tc
do with determining the future
of the Republican party.

In abiding to the conviction
of Tweed as CONTRARY to the
usual mode Of treating Demo-,
cratic scoundrels," the Register
endeavors to cast a stigma on
the Democratic party. Now, will
it please tell US what is the "usu-
al mode" of Experimentation
many OF its scoundrels have been
tried and convicted, in the past
twelve years? And while the
Register has its hand in this bus
mess, it might just as well fur
nish it's readers with a list of
the prominent Radicals in this
State as well as in the Nation at
large, equally as great s~coundrels
as Tweed and fully as prominent
in the Radical party Is ever
Tweed was in the Democratic
party, whose rascality the Regis
ter, along with other Radical
journals, are excusing and COW
ering over, instead of initiating
the example of the leading Dem
ocrats in New York, exposing
them and using every effort to
bring them to justice. Take
the beam out Of thine own eye
and then shalt thou see clearly to
cast the mote out Of thy brothers
eye"

the rejoicing OF variou US organs
of the administration over the

snarling pretentions that none OF

We agree with the Cincinna-
ii inquirer, that the seventy-sev-
en- Democratic members of the
House who voted for FERNANDO
WooD, for Speaker, ''blundered
out of a charity which suhereth
long and is kind 1t would be
more correct TO say that the
Democratic caucus and the gen
tlemen who followed its bidding
outrageously and disgracetnlly
violated the pledges of the party,
ignored the wishes OF the great
body of men-they profess to rep
resent, and offended the better
instincts of the honest friends of
Democracy.
1t is true, Fernando did not
vote for the salary grab-he was
absent-auo the New York
World states upon authority, that
had he been present he would
not lave done so, but aside from
this, he was so closely connected
with Boss Tweed in his robbery
of the city of New York, that he
has not the record of very hon
est man, and we think a more
creditable selection for the Dem
ocratic complimentary vote could
have been made, and thus proved
that the party is sincere in its de-
mands for honest aud spotless
men in public positions. We will
see, however, how they will act
when the repeal of that infa>
nous robbing scheme comes to
a vote.
