The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1874-11-05

The effect of the recent Democratic
victories in Ohio and Indiana is al
ready echoed back from Europe in the
expression of an uneasy feeling as to
United States securi-
ties. Considerable quantities OF these
securities are now being sent back TO
US from abroad, and larger quantities
are likely to follow should repudia-
ton doctrines manifest any further
progress.-OhiO State Journal.
This kind of tWaddIe of the Radical
press is getting rather stale; all the
scare is taken out of it, and it can no
longer serve the purpose of keeping
IN power the party that mas betrayed
the trust bestowed upon it and
been false to all its pledges. If the
foreign bOndhOlders who are making
fat thing out of their investment in
our government securities, see ft TO
get frightened at this radical igHuS
fatuus, and to use their influence to
keep in poper the thieves, corruption
lists and usurpers, let them do it, bnt a
plundered people are not to be fright
ened cut of their senses by any such
twaddle. 1t is downright nonsense
to, ,prate about the Democracy being
in4ayor of repudiation, and the Rad
icaI Tascals know it. But this with
aKu-Klnx outrages,1 and few like
catch words constitute the stock in
trade Of this party Of "great moral
ideas.n They have succeeded in the
past very effectually to draw the at
teution of the public from the great
issues which concern the welfare ol
the country and divert attention from
their own outrageous acts but theii
Stag has been extracted, and they will
be forced to devise some new shibbo-
| Heth to serve their purposes. The days
of their glory have departed forever

LAST HOURS OF PAREPA-ROsA.

Lucy Hooper in Philadelphia Press.I
Lave recently heard some touching de-
tails connected with the last hours of the
beloved and lamented Parepa-ROsa. She
was in unusual health and spirits during
the days that Immediately preceded her
death and, one day, she not only rehearsed
the whole of - Lohengrin," but also enter
tanned some company in the evening. That
night her child was born-dead. On learn
ing the fact OF the death of the ardently ex-
pected and long-desired infant, the shock
seemed to turn the poor mothers brain; she
became deliriOuss wildly accusing herself
OF having caused the death of her child by
imprudence and Oyer-exertion, and in that
state she continued till her death. Her
husband is sadly broken down both in health
and spirits by his great loss, and though
he is now engaged in forming an English
opera troupe to travel during the coming
season through the leading cities of Great
Britain, he Is said 10 be totally Indifferent
aid spiritless, possessing scarce shadow
OF his old business energy aud artistic en-
thgsiaSm. How well remember the grand
farewell performance of the Parepa- Rosa
Troupe III New York, the crowded house,
the overwhelming enthusiasm, the scarcely
concealed emotion ofthe sweet and lOvable
and womanly prima donna, and the agitated
farewell speech Of Carl Rosa himself: "GOd
willing" he cried, ''we will soon be with
YOU AGAIN." But God was not willing for
the other half Of that "we" will never return
TO us any more.

A FAMOUs:GAME OF DRAW POKER.

What promises to lie the most famous
game Of draw poker on record was played
in Chicago in 1859. The players were the
Hon. Charles Il. Farwell, at present the
Republican Representiye i'm Congress from
the Third Illinois District, and Hugh Ma
her, noted Chicago politician. Hon. Mr..
FarWell is almost as much celebrated for
his skill as poker player as for his states
manship, and therefore it is not Singular that
Mr.. Maher found in the progress of the game,
that the more he put down the less he took
up. But il seems that MesSrs. Farewell
and Maher did not play a cash game, which
was all wrong. We are assured by experts
in the great national game that it Is impuss
sible to play poker properly unless tile
money is put up every time, and it is alto
gether owing TO the neglect of these play
ers to conform 10 this oOmmendable usage
that they have been involved in
a litigation which promises to be
tedious, irritating and improbable. AT
the end of the game between the Hon. Mr..
FarReli and the Hon. Mr.. Mahef-it mat
have been a series of games, but the prin-
ciple is the same-Mr. Mahe- found him
self owing a considerable sum-S1, 700, We
believe-tO his opponent. According 10

a thousand, or in other words that he claim
ed s, 900 more than was really due him.
The matter was arranged by the transfer to
Farwell of eighty acres of land belonging
to MaheT, who says that this transfer was
made as security for the payment of the
claim pending an adjustment of the dis
pute as to the amount actually due, with
the understanding that Farwell should re-
convey it back when the two could come
to an agreement upon the amount of the
debt. and when the IN lney should be pro-
duccd TO liquidate il. Since then the land
has increased greatly in value, being worth
now about 100000; and one day Maher
was greatly surprised to learn that portion
of Il had been sold and resOld, whereupon
he r ed bill in court for the purpose of
securing \ TecOnyeyance. This occurred
long ago, and the proceedings taken were
described in the Sun at the time. Since
then nothing las been heard of this case.

Then again, A. j. says he wants to be
Senator Tor the ''honor" because Cooper
beat him. He has been in Office nearly
forty years aud there is not upon the statute
books or in his history an act that enures
to the benefit of the people. This is fun
for A. j., but death to them. he says we
are slaves to those debts, State and Nation

men simple enough to take his promise
for performance.
Finally, he says he has been with us and
will be buried with US; but time was
when he was not with us. he put hand
cuffs and chains on our best men and sent
them to the penitentiary, and insult

Col. Savage touched upon the currency,
Civil Rights and Uther questions of State
and National interest. He was opposed
to National banks or any other kind of
bank, and advocated hanging every man
