FALL FASHIONS, 1874.
Biz Democratic Victories ! !!
k.EnaeKAHS NENSy
GLORIOUS NEWS !

The Democratic victories in Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia and Arkansas
swells the heart of every true Demo
crat and lover of equal rights and JUS
tee. The Radicals begin to see the
writing on the wall, We told them
it was coming, but they could not see
it. This reminds lis of an incident in
this village a short time ago 1.-Two
little boys, brothers, were playing IN
the attic, one day, the oldest one saw
an object of interest in the front yard
and called his brothers attention to it.
"Do Won see that out there p ''No."
"Can't you see it p points his finger
in the direction). "No, ! cant"
"Well gosh you, will make you
see it !" and choked his head thro ugh
the glass. The Republican party had
their head chucked through the glass
in the late elections, and they probab
" 'see it" now.
Ohio we carried in 1878 by meag-
re majority. This year we have 90
900 majority, the Legislature, add
thirteen or fifteen of the nineteen Con
gressmen, against only six in the pres
cnt Congress, That will do for Ohio,
with its over 100000 Republican ma,
ijorty in 1868.
The Hoosier State is fully redeemed
and endorses Hendricks instead OF
Norton. Our majority on the State
ticket this year is $4,000, or more,
and the Legislature is Democratic tol
the first time in many years, which
gives us Democratic United States
Senator in place of Pratt, Granite, In
.he present Congress we have three
congressman from Indiana, while in
the next we shall have niDe. and pos
sibly eleven.
West Virginia goes with the rest Of
them, elec,ing Democratic Legislat-
urc. and all the Democratic Congress
men.
Arkansas sweeps the board ant
gives lis $4,000 majority.
The October elections have resulted
most gloriously, Disappointing very
agreeably even the most sanguine OF
the Democrats. The Republicans
have elected r. J, Kidder-the cleft
Kidder who was the Democratic
Lieutenant Governor in Vermont in
1S53-to Congress from Dakota, have
carried Nebraska, with It's one Con
gresham, and saved themselves in
Iowa. That is I'LL for them.
Now tor New York. New Jersey
Georgia, Alabama, and others Of the
more important States ofthe Union, ii
November.
Iowa, too, aids in swelling the list
of Democratic Congressman, contrary
to what everybody expected from the
first returns, the official figures show
ing 10 majority for l.. L. Ainsworth
in the Dubuque district, he being the
first Democrat elected to Congress
from Iowa since 1862.

a RAID ON TIE U. S., TREASURY.
THUS says a Washington correspon-
dent -
Preparations have already been
complicated for the prosecution in Con-
gress this winter of many schemes for
the robbery Of the National Treasury
and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and enriching
OF various corporations aud institu-
tons. The expectation is that, as re-
marked about himself by member of
the House of Representatives, Con
gressmen will be so hangry for money
that the suggestion needs only to be
made to them by which few hundred
dollars can be made and the Congress-
man will be enlisted in behalf of al
most any scheme.

A FACT FOR NORTHERN UNION MEN
The noted Mlssissippian, Mr.. B. G,
Lamar of cotton claim fame, whose
death was recently announced, left by
his will 100000 for the establish
ment of an asylum for INDECENT ne
groes. This is a substantial evidence
in favor of the notion that the real
friends of the black man are to be
found among those who were born
and raised with him, and not among
his canting philanthropists who have
been misleading him in order to Use
him for political and revengeful pur
poses. Mr.. Lamar was an original
secessionist. After the war he was
pursued with unusual severity. Abus.
ed and plundered, he has only come
by part Of bis rights to die and make
a handsome divide with his dusky old
friends of the cotton patuh.

What is FamcY

A traveller recently visited NaticlS to call
on Mr.. Wilson, the Vice President of the
United States. He was told that he would
know Mr.. Wilson's house by the color
yellow. But there were tive houses on the
street. few rods apart, of that color. OF
course he drove to the wrong house first,
A respectable-looking woman came TO the
door.

Jo.Denton's Vision.
A Temperance Story.

TO DENTON was considered an en-
~ inently respectable man. He hau
amassed wealth, hc moved in society, pat
ronizt d art and literature, was pillar in
his church, and dabbled in politics just
enough to smash the party slate when it
did not suit him. We are not going TO
inquire too closely into JOS early history,
nor rake over the ashes Of the past, nor dig
up the old stepping stones by which he had
reached his success /; they have for long
years been covered up with the green turf
of respectability; academic groves areplant-
ed above them, the church has liberal
pleasant nook, all seemingly unaware of the
foundation it rests upon; and society claims
the whole as its own. Yet there will be
skeletons in the closet of memory, if no.
where else the ghosts of murdered Ban
quos will appear at times and places mop
perfume moral earthquakes will upheave
the wicked old landmarks Of sin, and bring
to light all that is hideous in a mans past
life, and show, after all the covering up,
that Satan has long time held a mort
gage on his soul, and has patiently Dided
his time for foreclosure. III Jo Denton's
ease 1t happened in this way
He was accustomed like many respect
able men, TO take his champagne and toddy
in company with q few eongenial spirits,
who together constituted "Convivial
Club" eminently high-toned and respect
able, of course. It was not often that any
body called for them during these orgies,
if we may SO term them; but on one oc-
caslon, when the champagne had sparkled
with unusual brilliancy until night had
stolen a kiss from rosy morning, 10 sprang
from his seat and said "Somebody calls
me, and went out Of the room. Directly
there came back an unearthly shrek, and
JOS voice in it's widest accents, cried
"Away, damnable shape cheated you
out of your propertyS lisa lie, you viii
lain y and IN quick succession followed two
distinct reports Of pistol. Before his
companions could reach the door 10 tum-
bled headlong into the room, with the blood

~ LOVE SOMEBODY"

A matter-of-fact poetical genius says
4" overheard a moon-struck chap, the 9th
er day, remark that he loved certain
young lady well enough to die for her.
Now looe somebody very much, and
I'd swear for her,
I'd tear for her,
The Lord knows what I'd bear for her;
I'd lie for her,
I'd sigh for her,
I'd drink the Hudson dry for her.
I'd " cuss" for her,
Doe uss' for her,
I'd kick up a laundering fuss for her,
I'd weep for her,
I'd leap for her,
I'd go without sleep for her.
I'd fight for her,
I'd bite for her,
I'd walk the street all night for her;
I'd plead for her,
I'd bleed for her,
I'D go without any " feed' for her.
I'd shoot for her,
I'd boot for her,
rival who'd come to "suit" for her
I'd kneel for her,
I'd steal for her,
Such is the love feel for her.
I'd slide for her,
I'd swim 'gainst wind and tide for heri
I'd dry for her,
I'd cry for her,
But, hang me, if I'd die for her.

to find it gone.

He went once more to the Convivial Club,
and told bis dream, and babe final fare

laughed at it, but the majority took it
more seriously, and said it must, indeed,
