EMPTY PROMISES. The leaders of
the Democratic party are doing their
best to saddle every financial i'll and
every development of dull times upon
the Republican party. The task is a
hard one. As a rule, Republican
States are the most prosperous at the
present time. New York was to be a
Garden of Eden to workingmen when
The Democrats came into power. "High
wages and plenty to do was inscribed
on every Democratic banner in 1873
and "a. On false promises they car
ried the State. Instead of better
times, the State has had worse times
than ever. Wages instead of going
up have come down. Even the myth

An Indianapolis cat got to playing
with a small turtle the other day, and
was having a nice time tumbling it
around, when suddenly the turtles
jaws closed on the cats tail. There
was some very lively tumbling then
on the part of the cat, to an accom-
parliament of her OWE selection.
Two hours after she was seen exam
lining that tail tenderly, evidently
wondering if the piece would grow
out again.

A Genuine windfall---From Poverty 10
Opulenee.

The indianapolis Journal SAYS:
About the biggest thing in the way Of
"A windfall that has been chronicled for
10, these many days. has come TO light
within the past few days in this city.
During the winter months Cobb 4
Branham have had in their employ a
man by the name Of ID. A. Bruin, who
has engineered j coal cart with signal
skill and ability Bruin lived on Yandes
Street with wife and three children,
and has been IN somewhat siraitened
circumstances. Mr.. and Mrs. Bruin
lived in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylya-
MIA, many years ago, and nearly twenty
years ago Mr.. Burns, the father Of Mrs.
Bruin. decided TO her and her brother a
one ,housand-acre tract Of mountain
land, which was then comparatively
valueless, aud was chiefly productive Of
underbrush and rattlesnakes. The
Bruins moved West shortly after this.
al length finding haven in lndianap-
oils The brother remained in Penn
sylvania. out at some distance from his
mountainous possession, and conse-
quently knew but little about ii, though
the taxes were prudertly kept paid up,
as it was expected that the land might
increase in value. Not having the adj
vantages Of very extensive education.
in fact. being meagerly endowed
in this regard. the brother
and sister have not carried on much OF
a correspondence, nor kept very close
watch on their property, being quite in
ignorance of its value. Imagine, then,
the surprise of the worthy Bruin and
his wife AZ receiving call from a party
OF Eastern capitalists about ten days
ago, and an offer Of S200,OO0 for ten
years lease Of the aforesaid tract. The
cautious couple concealed their feelings
and asked the advice of friends upon
the best course 10 pursue in the matter.
They were advised To wait, and accord
ingly announced that they would not at
once accept the offer. The men return
ed East, and three or four DAYS since
another set Of capitalists from Pennsyl-
vania called upon them, and. after the
usual amount Of dickering, proposed TO
give 100000 for ten years lease of
the ground. 100000 to be paid on the
iSt Of July next, and the balance in nine
annual payments. This proposition
was accepted, and the gentlemen yft
for Nevada to look after other mining
interests. They will return in few
DAYS, and the Bruins, accompanied by
a member Of the firm OF Cobb & Bran
ham, will 90 To Pennsylvania and close
the contract. Mr.. and Mrs. Bruin are
past the prime Of life. hut bid fair to
live many years TO enjoy their suddenly
acquired wealth.

II strikes rs that the republican factions in
their zeal for their own particular candidate
and their efforts to kill Off the rival republi-
can candidates are manufacturing consider
able campaign material for their adverse
ries- Thus we have the curious spectacle
presented Of republican papers laboring to
prove that Mr.. Blaine Is q shallow trickster,
corruptly mixed up with land Jobs and sub
sides; that Mr.. Bristow Is a Jonathan Wild,
detective candidate, whose wsr record con-
sisted In bis running away from the battle
field at Fort Donelson after the bursting OF
n shell near him, though he was not
wounded; that Mr.. Morton is bah in morals
and demagogue in politics; that Mr.. Conk-

Washbur1e is a hypocrite, pretending to war
upon JOBS and subsidies, while taking brides
from the Trans continental railway COM
pany; that Mr.. Hayes is no better than he
should be; and so On through the list. In
fact, the republican papers so much surpass
their opposition contemporaries IN the fury of
their assaults upon the entire field OF posi-
BILE republican candidates, that the demo

Mr.. Bergb, the philanthropist, is making
war on the dealers in turtles, who lay them
on their backs and tie them together by a
cord Iun through their fiippers. This pro-
cess, MI. Bergh contends, is painful, and is
cruelty which ought not to be counte-
nanced, but there are others who assert that
this is not the case, and fortify their posi-
tion by scientific evidence. After little we
shall have judicial opinion on the vexed
question, as case is now before the New
York courts for decision.
