In what way did Mr.. Bristow, this great
Republican thief-cstcher, indicate to
the public, or TO the most select circle of
friends, that he did not believe in Grant,
Butler, Williams, Durell, Boss Shepherd,
Delsno and the entire tribe OF corruption
lists, That, through Republican influences
had taken possession of every Office where.
with rare exceptions they steacdly and
systematically pIundeYed the government

Still the Tribune for partisan eonsiders-
ton, which exposes its silly mendscity,
endesvors to make Ben Butler responsible
for the infamous record of the Republican
party. The game will hardly work. The
choice between the men named by the
Republicans for President is not worth a
fig, aud no matter which one of them is
selected the policy pursued, If elected, will
be the same-thieves in office, and stealing
the order of the dsy.

the party in the nation. and there are
signs now that the same influence

promises, at ST. Louis. While it is
aggressive as ever, il indeed promises less
than ever before, because the State of New
York Is divided itself against Tllden, who
only carried the last election by a small
majority. The Democratic party has three

The Story Of . Rsse-

A rose with so pretty little story
and SO full OF romance as this oaght
to be beautiful, and so is the Cher0-
kee rose. Here is the story told OF IL:
AN Indian chief of the Seminols
tribe was taken prisoner by his enc
mics, the Cherokees, and doomed to
torture, bot fell so seriously i'll that IL
became necessary to wait for his res
tortion to health before committing
him to the iire. As he lay prostrated
by disease in the cabin OF the Chero-
kee warrior, the daughter OF the lat
ter. young dark faced maid, was his
nurse. She fell in love with the
young chieftain and, wishing to savo
his life, urged him to escape. But he
would not do so unless she would fiec'
with him. She consented. Yet, be-
fore they had gone far, impelled BY
soft regret at leaving home, she ask
ed permission of her lover to returr6
for the purpose Of bearing away some
memento OF it. So, retracing her.
footsteps, she broke sprig from the
white rose which climbed up tho
poles OF her fathers tent, and preserv-
ing it during her flight through. ths
wilderness p anted it by tho door OF
her new home In the land or the Sem
inoles. And from that day this beau
tiful flower has always been known
between the cages OF Florida and
throughout the Southern States by
the name OF the Cherokee Rose.

4 Betrayed husbands Revenge.

The village OF Bettsvillc, Seneca
county, near Tiffin is shaken from
center to circumference. 1t appears
from an information CLEANED from an
exchange in reference to the affair,
that Mr.. S. Norton, OF the above vii
lage, has for some time. suspected
his wife during his absence from
home, of being improperly intimate
with Mr.. Chapman. For months
the husband kept his own counsel,
and awaited events: but at last he
became so troubled concerning the
matter that he spoke to Chapman
about it, but the latter nevertheless
persisted in continuing his visits to
the house during Norton's absence.
The other evening matters came to a
climax. Norton happened to go into
a store where Chapman was loafing,
and almost Immediately Chapman
sneaked out and proceeded directly
to Norton's residence. The husbands
suspicious were aroused, he went
hurriedly home and actually caught
Chapman and Mrs. Norton in the
latter's sleeping room both talking
earnestly and excitedly on what they
considered a private subject. The
infuria ed husband at once drew a
revolver and snapped it at Chapman
but the weapon hung fire, and as
Chapman was making an effort to
escape from the room, Norton
caught hold VI a coal oil lamp, that
was burning on the bureau near by,
