Frye's Creek, made a piscatorial tour to
Green River. When they arrived, their
curiosity over the thoughts of a canoe, be-

minds the great anxiety they had previous

quently, they procured a vessel with the
necessary outfit and launched out upon the

The local Radical politicians are
busy with their figures showing the
relative strength of the Democratic
and Republican parties in the coming
election. These figures were compiled
by Radical newspapers, upon the basis
of the proceeding presidential election.
The "oa" years of late that gave the
House Of Representatives to the De-
mocracy are not considered as the chat
that shows the course Of the wind.
The exposures OF rottenness, corrup-
tion and fraud made by this House,
are not taken into account. On their
fancied security let 'em die.

One hundred years ago, the 4th day
Of this month, the oppressed people
Of the American Colonies signed the
Declaration Of Independence. by which
they declared themselves free and in
dependent Of the British yoke under
the insane tyrant King, George the
Third. No people On earth have ev-
er risen more rapidly and steadily as
q nation. The history of the world
records nothing equal to eur progress
From thirteen insignificant colonies,
inhabited by sparse population, we
have, in the comparatively brief span
of a single century, risen to popula-
ton of forty million of souls, and in
.creased to thirty-seven magnificent
States, and numerous Territories,
which will ere long be numbered
among the States Of the Union. Di-
gers wars have followed since the first
revolution, but each one has left us
purified as IL by ERE. We stand to.
day among the grandest and most
powerful Of the nations Of the earth,
and but for the misrule Of the past
closing years Of the century, we would
stand ct the head of the column.
Nevertheless, we have reason to be
rroud of our exalted position. Our
flag Is honored on sen and land wher'
ever civilization extends. The 18th Of
July will be ever memorable in the
hearts of all true American freemen.
What though civil war for time cast
. cloud over the land, and alienated
the affections Of our countrymen to.
ward each other, we feel that happi-
er day has dawned, and that the time
l. not far distant when we will be one
again in heart and sentiment. When
we look back to the hardsbips endur'
ed by those brave men at Concord
and Lexington, and Bunker Hill, and
Valley Forge, and many other fields
of battle, where they fought the troops
of King George-the Indian and the
hired Hessians-and then contemplate
the glory and present grandeur Of our
country in this, the beginning of our
second century, we feel all the more
inclined to embalm their memories in
our hearts. Those patriots fought fol-
. principal as broad ard deep and pa
triotic as humanity itself. With jus
tice on their side, they never doubted
that ultimate success would crown
their efforts and give to the world a
country where the down-trodden Of
every other land might find safe and
permanent asylum from tyranny and
tyrants.

DR. J. M. SIMS, one Of the most
eminent Of American physicians, and
President Of the American Medical
Association, says boldly and truthful
ly, that the "Code Of Medical Ethics
is q useless incumbrance, and that its
Anticipated shackles interfere with i'm.
provements in the healing art" Such
a code may have been proper in the
times Of Hippocrates, but in this day
Of advanced and advancing civilira-
ton, il Is a useless incumbrance."

A HOrrid Butchery.

One of the most inhuman and desper-
ate crimes that ever stained the pages of
history was committed a few days since
near Calamus, in Valley county, Neb. A
farmer named f. f. Carr, blotted from
existence his entire family and then hung
himself. The discovery was first made
by boy who was sent by his mother on
an errand to Carr's residence. Arriving
he found the house closed and the win
dows blinded. On looking toward the
stables, short distance away, the boy
saw, as he supposed, a man standing
under a cow-shed in his night-clothes.
The lad ran home and spread the alarm.
An officer and one or two others at once
started for the place and found Cars
body suspended by the neck from the
roof of the shed. They then went to the
house, where horrible scene met their
eyes. Upon bed lay the murdered
wife and mother, her whole forehead
crushed in by blows from sledge-ham-
mer, and her blood and brains hanging
in great clots from the wall. Her throat
was also cut. Passing into an adjoining
room, the parties found the two little
boys, victims of the same brutality which
befell their mother, with the exception
that the throat of the youngest was not
cut.
On table IN third room was found
piece of brown paper, on which was
written, in the steady hand of the MUIR
derer, the following: CT cannot live
always, and am not willing to leave my
family to suffer. Bury us all together
on the top of some high bluff" This
was signed Ed" an abbreviation of
the murderer's name. The body of the
suicide was taken down and carried to
the house, and an inquest held. Some
of the citizens believe that Carr commit
ted the terrible butchery through ieal-
ousy of his wife.-SiOur Cfts (Ia.)

An English Incident.

The English peasant, when he goes to
London to see the sights. takes his sup
per to the theater and enjoys victuals
and tragedy together. Aboub three
weeks ago hungry spectator in the gal
lery of the Drury Lane Theater was
overcome with hunger during tho fourth
act of Richard III. He removed from a
paper parcel the savory nourishment
which he had brought with hin, but was
so clumsy as to drop small pork pie
over the gallery railing. 1t lodged in
the center of chandelier in the dress
circle. Presently the pork began to
frizzle in the gas jets, and most appe-
tizing odor filed the house and when
a few fragments of pie-crust dropped
from the chandelier into the pit there
was a scramble for them. The fumes of
the pie put keen edge on everyone's
appetite, and nobody conld listen to the
play.

80 stitch, stitch, YEARLY
Poor mother no rest for thy catching.
Now the fire must be lit for the supper 10 come
or the hungry swarming around
And the husband, too, soon from his labor come
home,
And something to cheer that Ia better than rum
Must be for his WEAKNESS found.
So stitch, stitch, YEARLY,
Must now in the teapot be drowned.
Was IL some gentle angel that looked on the scene
And sighed DER the burdened one there?
None other than SUCH the inventor, ween,
OF the life-saving, toil-curing sewing machine
Which at last changed the face OF that desert to
green,
And to smiles that lone brow OF despair.
The stitch stitch, YEARLY,
No more brings its lading Of care.
| Fer Jennie and Johnny and Sammy are glad,
And Billy and Sallie are gay;
In newly-made jackets and pettiooats clad.
| They dance round the premises, happily mad
And proud in their tidy array.
, No stitch, STITCH wearily,
| Thu mother now sings all the day.
