Capt. Newman, Of Tenn
St. Louis Globe Democrat.

~ 4SOS4S
Capt, James w. Newman, of
Tennessee, who has always been a
straight out Democrat and distin,
guished himself iD the artillery
service oil the Confederacy, most
particularly at the battle of Bridge
port, Tenn, and who hiss attended
every National Democratic Con-
vention since 1913, was an unwill-
ing subject to an interview. He
is delegate from the Fifth District,
now represented in Congress by
Gen. Bright, who has achieved no
toriety as leader Of the soft mon,
ey party. Capt. Newman said ::
The Tennessee delegation will vote
on the first ballot as q unit for
Hendricks; while the State Con
vention did not instruct for Hen
bricks, they yet recommended him.
They will vote that way rs long
as there is a hope for Hendricks
nomination, bat, when that is
found to be impossible, they throw
their entire vote to the man whom
the voice Of the Convention will
pronounce as the one capable of
defeating the Republican nominee.
My own desire, he said, is to show
to the people Of the North that
Confederate soldiers, who carried
the banner of the South through
four long years of strife, are now
disposed to close the bloody chasm
and support that gallant soldier,
Winfield S. Hancock.

Sagacity Of an Elephant

"rell my grandchildren" wrote
Bishop Wilson, "that an elephant
here had a disease in his eyes.
For three days he was complete
ly blind. His owner, an engineer
officer, asked my dear DR.. Webb
if he could do anything to relieve
the poor animal. The doctor said
he would try the nitrate OF silver,
which was a remedy commonly ap,
piled to o similar disease in the
human eye. The large animal was
ordered to lie down, and at first,
on the application of the remedy,
raised most extraordinary roar
at the acute pain which it occa-
stoned. The effect was wonderful.
The eye was in q manner restored,
aid the animal could partially see.
The next day when ne was brought
and heard the doctors voice, he
lay down Of himself, placed his e.
normous head on one side, Curled
up his trunk, drew in bis breath
iust like q man to endure an OPP
Grafton, gave q sigh of relief when
it was over, and then, by trunk
and gesture, evidently wished to
express his gratitude. What sa-
gacity What o lesson to us Of
patience !"

From the Pioche (Nev.). Record.

FROM tne tlocne (NeV.J record.
One of the Long Valley Indians
was shot at Liston's ranch, in the
Meadow Valley Wash, on Friday
last, by Jim Hulse. Hulse had q
short time since lost a suit of
clothes, and seeing an Indian COM
ing past the rancho with some
things tied up in blankets, thought
that his clothes might be in that
bundle. lie grappled with the
Indian and attempted to take the
bundle away from him, whereup.
ON the Indian showed fight and
drew his knife. On seeing that,
q man handed o pistol TO Hulse,
who shot the Indian in the head.
The Indian Immediately dropped
his bundle and ran of TIE bun.
die was opened; no clothes were
found, but there were eight dol
lars and q half in coin. Shortly
after the chief Of the Long Valley
Indians demanded the money, say.
ing that lii it was not delivered
the Indians intended to kill Hulse.
The money and blankets were Civ.
en- up to him, alter which he left,
saying that he would do all he
could to keep peace. The Indian
shot was not wounded dangerous
ly, and it is thought he will recoy
er. The settlers in the valley are,
however, alarmed about the mat
ter, and all fear The running off OF
their cattle.

The Ram that Lost tho
Prize.

The Michigan Farmer says !:
"Our county fair is just over;
! but Johnson's CotswoId ram did
not take the prize that was Of
fercd for the best animal of that
kind. Judge Klump was chair
man Of the Committee on Rams,
and he manifested the deepest
interest in Johnson's, indicat-
ing clearly that if any sheep
ought to take a prize that one
ought to. Johnson's ram was
by itself in the pen with a high
board fence, and before adiudi-
eating the judge thought he
had better go in and make
close examination of the animal
for the purpose Of asecrtaining
the finencss of the wool. As
soon as the judge reached the
interior, he walked toward the
ram, whcreupOn the ram began
to lower his head and shake it
ominously. Just as the Judge
was about TO feel the fleece, the
ram leaped forward and plah-
ted his head in the judges
stomach, rolling him over OH the
ground. Before the judge had
time to realize what had hap
pened, the ram came at him
again, and began series of
promiscuous butts, each given
with the precision and force of
q pilc-driver. 1t butted the
judge or the back, on the ribs,
OF the arms, on the shoulder
blades and the bald place or his
head, on his shins; it buttcd his
spectaclcs off, butted his high
hat into silk chaos; it butted
him over into the corner and UP
against the fence, then it buttCd
four boards of the pen, and cs-
clpcd into the Fair Grounds
aud skcdaddlod, and would not
wait to have the first prize tick
ct pinned TO his car. Judge
Klump did not go after it. No,
no! -Four men carried him
home. The doctor anticipates
he will recover by the next
fair"

Good as Gold.

Though fond Of jollity sometimes,
| like quiet life,
And love cosy evening pass'd,
AT home with my old wife;
She brought me neither house nor land,
Her wealth could soon be told,
But she's fortune in herself,
And that's as good as gold.
She does not wear the finest robes,
Nor dress in silk attire,
But then if she looks fair to me,
What more could desire?
Our home is not the grandcst, but,
As keeps out the cold,
1t pleases me, and pleaSes her,
And she's as good as gold.
When matters go little wrong,
And fortune seems to frOWn,
If ones wife as true as gold,
One can't be long cast down;
For when reach my home at night,
She does not fret or scold,
But always greets me with smile,
And that's as GOOD as gold.
Contentcd folks arc happier,
Than those who've greatest wealth,
For gold does not buy happiness,
Nor can it purchase health;
My wife and | will be content,
When we have grown old,
To be as happy then as now,
And that's as good as gold.

! Political Echoes.

The. Cleveland PlaiRdeaEe1
makes the point that Hayes was
agmember of Congress in 1866
and proflted by the first back
pay steal that was put through
by the Republican party, by
which the pay of members was
raiseti from three to five thou
snpd dollars.
EK-Goyernor Yarmouth, the
carpet-bag revolutionist of Lou
isiana, reappeared as chairman
of a Hayes and Wheeler ratifi-
cation meeting in New Orleans
recently. This is tho sort of
reform material that is rallying
to the support of the Republi-
can ticket.
Ask the average Republican
how he likes the nominee for
the presidency, and he will ex-
claim: "The very best that
could made-why 1 was for
Hayes all the time.
An order from tho War De-
partment turns over tho COM
mand Of the South to that ar
dent soldier, General Philip
Sheridan. This is done at The
request of Southern carpet-bag-
gers, and il means bayonets.
Between the Republican Sen
ate and the Democratic House
there is a square contest whetll-
er expenses shall be cut down
$40,000,000 or kept at the old
ektrayngant figures. TheDcm-
ocrats are of course on the side

Of course are on tho side of

ring and their pious confede-
rates, alienated this confiding
people from their accused lead
ers, and brought them to a sense
of the frauds and villamy of
which they have SO long been
the victims. They have come
to see that the policy of the Re
publicans in exciting prejudice
against their old masters, in
spring them with distrust of
their best friends, was only a
part of the system for capiur-
ing their votes while stealing
their earnings and>labor. Con-
sequently there has been great
reaction all over the South, and
at no time since the rebellion
closed have the relations be-
tween the two races been as
good as they now are.
