made gallant fight, but the batteries brought
TO bear were too formidable, and he was
obliged to surrender Internationally. The
happy pair have the congratulations Of the

untold may be their lot.
We are completely overrua with tramps--
hale, hearty, well.dressed young men, old and

but Is becoming burdensome. We are willing
10 help those IN want, but think the young

take care Of themselves.
Dire HILL IrENs.- Notwithstanding the
iron ore banks have nearly all suspended
work for this time, in this vicinity, which at
the time threw out OF employment many Of
our laboring men, yet the most Of them found
employment in other pursuits. But the iron
| ore brought considerable amounts Of money
in the neighborhood while the banks were in
operation, which is not coming now, and
therefore money is scarce and tight. There
are some rumors thai the banks will al re.
sumo work again before long.
This winter, so far, has been very dry and
cold with u.s. A number Of wells are dry,
which is putting many Of our people to great
Inconvenience. Some Of our mills are not
able to run more than one-fourth Of the time.
We congratulate the good people of Mel

postotfice which was granted in their place,
aud to which they are justly entitled. THr

90 That while the Republican party dis
claims any sympathy with indiscriminate war
upon associated capital, with blind disre-
gard of its rights, it is entirely independent of
all corporate power; it is opposed to all
schemes in State, county and city, whereby,
under the pretense of providing gas and water
to communities, or irrigation for farming, a
few men seek to enrich themselves by impos-
ing heavy burdens upon the people; it repels
all attempts of corporations to force into Office,
through Republican conventions, men who
will guard their interests rather than those of
the public, and expects to be judged by its acts
and the character of its candidates, rather
than by the false accusations of its enemies,
who, after having had the executive power of

equally between them, can present no better
claim for the public confidence than loud and
empty professions OF horror at alleged corrup-

agreement on National and State questions of
all who sustained the nation during the great

during the past few years; desirous of making
all becoming concessions to secure harmony

to forget the strles of faction, to disregard tho
counsels of those who seek to continue un-
seemly and unnecessary divisions, and keeping

A STRAWBERRY "SoUR. 1T is said
Of James Lick that several years ago he
had an extensive strawberry patch, and
when his employees were engaged in pick
ing them and were discovered eating any,
they were instantly discharged. A young
man applied to Lick for situation, and
being posted, in answer to inquiry told
Lick that he could not eat wberres-
that they soured on his stomach. He
was employed and spent the balance OF
the day with one hand picking for the
market and the other for his stomach -
At night Lick inquired how he got along.
a" Oh, splendid I" said the young man.
"Then take some wine with me-" No
sooner was the wine down than the strong
emetic with which Lick had drugged it
commenced to work, and that young
man disgorged strawberries all over q
forty lot, and was last seen going to.

A FREAK OF TELEGRAPH.-Of all the
freaks of telegraph, the following is the
most laughable which has come under
our personal knowledge. Not long since
a graduate from one Of our theological
schools, was called to the pastoral charge
OF a church in the extreme Southwest.
When about to start for the new parish,
he was unexpectedly detained by the in
capablity Of his presbytery to ordain him.
In order to explain his non-arrival at the
appointed time, he sent the following tel
egram to the deacons of the church =
" resbytery lacked quorum to ordain."
In the course Of its journey, the message
got strangely meta morphOsed and reached
the astonshed deacons in this shape -
" Presbytery tackled worm on to
Adam" The sober church officers were
greatly dscomposed and mystified but
after grave consultation concluded that it
was the minister's lacetious way Of an
houncing that he had go: married, and
accordingly proceeded to provide lodging
for two instead of Chicago Inter-
ocean.

A TOUCHING tale of Arcadian simple
ity comes to us from the far West. In II
lonely out ol-tho way district in the
south west, far away from the busy world
among the rocks and trees, lived, in a
cave, Il man of hermit-ike habits, who
summed the society of civilization, and
so secluded did he wish to be, and so 10th
was he TO attract the attention Of persons
visiting the neighboIhood, or hunters, or
sportsmen, that he used to carry the
smoke from his secluded cave into the
trunk of tall tree. The smoke rising
through this spread among the foliage
and was dispersed so gradually as to be
unnoticed. Within the cave, dug deep
into the bowels Of the earth, lived the
man in the simplest manner possible, and
by simple pro cess extracted nourishing
and stimulating juices from the fruits and
roots of the earth. 1t is sad TO think that
his idyllic simplicity should have been
disturbed by the rude hands of excise Of
fcers, who arrested the hermit for run
ming an illicit still, and conhscated very
large stock Of the stimulating juices con-
cealed in tho cave,
