DISCORDANT ELEMENTS.

The Democracy are showing up the
great differences In their ranks quite
early in the campaign. Not only are
they rent asunder in Ohio over the
financial plank in their platform, but
serious differences have broken out
among the various factions composing
the opposition to the Republicans in
Iowa. The trouble arises from the ig-
noring of the Liberal Republican ele-
ment by the recent Democratic con-
vention held for the nomination of
State officers. The Liberals fondly
anticipated the nomination of one
DIR. Gilbert for Governor, but Bom-
bon Democrat was deemed more wor-

Nord loUa Post, a German Liberal
paper, goes back on the whole Demo-

Is the detection strong among the Lib
erals, but it exists largely among the

tremely hopeful of being able to carry

A Double Murder.

ST. AUGUSTINE; Fla, June IL
About year and half ago a Mr..
Keech emf rated from Wisconsin to
this section, and purchased a farm in
tits (St. Johns county, few miles
from the old tort, Matanzes Inlet.
He was industrious and energetic, and
soon became noted as one of the most
prosperous farmers in the county. Mr..
Keech was accompanied by his wife,
or by woman that purported to be
his wife. To all appearance the two
lived together in the utmost peace and
tranquility.
Some time ago man calling him
self j. Smith Newton, and represent
ing himself as land prospecter; made
his appearance in Keech's neighbor-
hood, and remained several days. He
iaaily left and neither Mr.. Keech nor
his neighbors thought any more of the
stranger. 4 few days ago, however,
he again made his appearance. and af-
ter making some inquiries of a Mr..
Williams, proceeded to Keech's house.
1t happened that Mr.. Keech owed Mr..
Williams small sum Of money, and
had promised to call and pay it the
next day after Newton made his ap-
pearance. That day, however and the
next passed, and still Mr.. Keech did
not appear to fulfill his promise
Knowing his neighbor to be a very
prompt man in his business affairs,
Mr.. Williams at once proceeded to in
vestigate the cause of the unusual de-
lay. Mounting horse, he rode to the
farm Of Keech, and there discovered
that most atrocious murder had been
committed Mrs. Keech was found
in her room shot to death, while Mr..
Keech lay near by with his throat cut,
bullet hole in the back of his head ),
and his skull crushed 10.
Mr.. Keech's neighbors Immediately
assembled and organized TIVE pursuing
parties, one under the command Of
Mr.. Virgil Dupont, and the other, un-
der command of the Sheriff Of st
Johns county. They followed the
murderer nearly fifty miles, sparing
neithor whip nor spur, and finally
came up with him in Volusia county,
where he was endeavoring to make his
way on foot to the St. Johns river.
The confession of tho murderer.
which has been made. invests the
crime with mysterious interest. His
name ). Smith Newton, and he says
he was born IN Busnos Ayrss, of Rag

The SO-CaIled Milwaukee Ring.

s.
The Milwaukee Neaos is troubled
with political ringworms. It has re-
pea.edly declared that the city was
captured and controlled by Republicans
who are going to use their power in
the next State election to secure Re-
publican triumph. The Sentinel lets
flood of daylight into this leave of
gloom,' that the Neaos and it's echoes
have been making fuss about. The
Sentinel refers to the fact that the city
printing is given to another paper, and
that is what ails the Ne,us.
The Sentinel then says that Mayor
Ludington is a Republican, and adds:
He was elected without regard to
party, aud has been twice re elected for
no other reason than that the people of
the city had great confidence in his in
tesrity and capacity So far from his
fostering of any ring, his most conspic-
uous service to the city has been to
break up number of rings that were
forming at the City Hall when he be-
came Mayor, and the influence of these
brnacles was openly against him on the
occasion Of his third election year
ago last spring.
The character of the city government
is chiefly determined by the Common
council. 1t is that body that raises all
taxes, orders all Improvements, and al
lows all bills. Without its assistance
no job could make any progress what
ever. Now the Common Council con-
sists of thirty-tvo Democrats and seven
Republicans. Something has been
said about the amendmendment to the
charter reducing the Common Council
to single body, that is abolishing the
Board of Councillors, and providing for
the election of three aldermen from
each ward. The bill for this purpose
originated in Common Council almost
unanimously Democratic; was intro
duced in the Legislature by Demo-
crat; reported favorably by the Mil
waukee delegation consisting entirely
| of Democrats; passed by Democratic
Legislature and signed by Democrat
ic Governor. And this was part of the
great Republican conspiracy to gain
control of the Milwaukee city govern
ment.
Four Of the FIVE members of the
Beard of Public Works are Democrats,
snd the only Republican city officers
/ Except clerk or minor officer here
and there) are the Mayor, Superinten-
dent of Schools, and member of the
Board of Public Works With full
knowledge of these facts, fhe Sentinal
regards the charge of the Ne,cs as very
impudent, and says:
Surprising the charge of he Ne,os
to be true, that the city government is
corrupt and prohigate, and that it is
managed by dishonest ring, the
charge is a severe Indictment against
the Democratic party: and furnishes
abundant reason why that party should
not enjoy the confidence of the people.
But while the Sentinel has found some
occasion to criticise the management Of
our municipal affairs, it cannot endorse
the proposition of the Neacs, that it is
utterly rotten. On the contrary. we
have confidence that the heaters will
find scant picking SO long as the city is
protected by the integrity, vigilance
and economy of Hon. Harrison Lud-
ington. els

pose was not robbery, but the hope of
ultimate gain. He states that the
woman known as Mrs. Eden Keech
was not the wife of Mr. Keech. but
his mistress, and that the real Mrs.
Keech is resident of Fond du Lac,
Wisconsin. Keech deserted his real
wife, took up with the murdered wom-
an, and fed to Florida. The prisoner
says be was employed by Mrs. Keech,
who is his aunt, to follow her truant
husband and both him and his mistress.
AS reward for his trouble, Newton
was to receive Q share of the estate Of
Mr.. Keech, which is said to be worth
about $50 900.
An attempt was made by some OF
the citizens of Orange county to lynch
Newton, and it was the fear of this
that led him to confess his crime.

The Germans on the Paper SwfndIe

There is Generalization in the Dem
ocratic ranks of Ohio The Germans,
in particular assail the paper swiudle'
of the Dem ocratic platform. The Gin
cinnatl Volhsblot and the Sanduskey
Oemohrat are outspoken in opposing
the financial policy enunciated. But
the Hatcher Americ, the leading Ger
man paper of northern Ohio, hitherto
a strong Democratic organ. has
bolted, and declared that the policy is
blow at the prosperity of the count
ry, and must be opposed. The follow
ing is translation of leading article:
That which has been said will suffice to
show our readers how deep a thrust the De-
mocracy has given itself With its unfortu-
nate financial policy In its unfortunate
destruction it has thrown away all its
chances tor success, which was at hand if
it had only employed in respect to these ques-
tions-Temperance, Public Schools, and
Finance-liperal, clear and bold language
1t met the demand in the two former only
to spoil everything IN the finance question.
This will have the effect that thousands and
who would have willingly aided the Dem
ocrats to victory, will now turn against
them, at least SO far as the State election is
concerned, however discontinued they may
be with the Republicans on account OF
their ''muckerism,' temperance, and cor
ruption +; for, however bad the temperance
nuisance may be, compared with the mis-
chief that has and will be done by this pa
per swinde it is harmless. victory in
this direction cannot and must not be en-
couraged. The paper swindle doctrine,
must be opposed wherever they appear.

the land, for initiation means only another
general panic. What is the use of all the
declarations of personal liberty, when at
the same time the public wei fare is so deep

ces there is no choice left. No success can
be wished for the Democracy of Ohio in

structible imitation fever must be energetic.

COMBINING PoULTRY-If We wish to
confine our hens, so as to protect the
garden and crops, We must necessarily
take much mora pains than when we let
them run at large. To confine hens and
have them to do as well as when allowed
10 run at large, we must observe the fol
lowing rules: 1. Feed regularly, at least
twice a day; not too much, but just
enough to satisfy their appetites. 2.
Keep pure water before them all the
time. g. Keep plenty of gravel and
sand before them. 4. Provide for them
good warm roosting place, and always
keep it free from dirt and vermin. )
Keep at least half of their park in grass,
and plow the remainder occasionally, so
as to allow them plenty of wallowing
places.-correspondence Country Gentle

PIE CRUST WITHOUT LARD.-Hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars are worse
than wasted in the Use of lard made
into pie crust, annually. Pc be sure, a
white, faky crust looks nice and tastes
better, but indulging our appetite in its
use lays the foundation for dyspepsia,
rheumatism, gout and palsy. For years
| have been experimenting to find out
how to make palatable pie crust with
out the use of lard. and finally have
succeeded. The process | give for the
benefit of those who choose to profit by
it. Take good, r.ch butternilk, soda
and little salt, and mix just as soft as
can be mixed and hold together; have
plenty Of flour on the molding board
and rolling pin; roll very thin; then
make and bake as other pies, or rather
ia a slower oven, and when the pie is
taken from the oven do not cover it up.
In this way dyspeptic can indulge in
the luxury Of pie.-Country Gentle

SMOKING ~ THE BARN-''No Smo-
king, ," ought to be posted in every barn.
There is not much difference between
having a horse thief around the stables
and a man cleaning off horses with a
pipe or cigar in his mouth; and there is
no hired man much meaner than the
one who, when his employer comes
around, slips his pipe into his pocket or
holds his hand over it. All such fellows
should be paid off and started off. As
for the proprietor himself going into the
barn with a pipe in his mouth. no COM
plant can be make; but if his establish
ment burn up, nobody should cry unless
it be his wife and children. Lightning,
incendiaries and spontaneous combus-
tion combined do not cause as many
barns to burn up as the pipe, and gen.
orally, atleast one good horse goes too.

THE CROPS OF 1S75.-The Agricultur-
nj Report for Noyemberis just published.
IL saws that the corn crop of 1875 was one
of the largest ever grown in the country
probably equaling the very large crops
of 1870 and 1872. 1t is at least fourth
greater than the crop of 1871, and about a
third larger than the crop OF 1869, re-
ported In the last census. Every section
of the Union reports some increase. The
potato crop is extraordinary. in both
product and quantity. The total yield
i'm the district reports is made fully one
fourth greater than las: year. In the
rainy sections the sweet potato crop suf-
fered in yield and quantity from exces-
siye moisture. In the Gulf States and
west of the Mississippi the yield largely
exceeds that of last year, and tie quality
is about average. The cotton crop is
estimated at 1000, 600 bales, and will
possibly slightly exceed this amount
Tobacco shows an increase of 20 per
cent. over last year, which was partial
failure. Fruit of nearly all kinds Is re-
ported light yield. There is an extra
ordinary increase in the sorghum cropin
the Southern States, and especially in the
Mississippi valley.
