A BASE RANGERS NOTION OF HE'LL

The Eureka Sentinel furnishes forth the
following report of recent debate concern
ing the residence of Aud MCKEE Ben
Any person who has ever visited a smelling
furnace while in operation and watched the
mOulten Stag and iron pouring from spOuts of
! one OF those institutions, Is aware that the
imagination can form no idea of a more
intense heat than the seething, bubbing con-
tents Of a Stag pot couple OF meters of a
theological turn of mind got into heated
argument the other evening on the subject of
future punishment, one contending that the
language of the Bible in reference to fire and
birthstone was figurative and that literal
hell was myth and no longer taught nor
preached. The other was just as earnest in his
burning lake with all its attendant horrors,
and illustrating his ideas by the following
simle: 'Why, Jack, if you ever go to hell
and you are sure t" DO it, holding such
doctrine-if you could but get drink Of that
Stag running out Of the furnace, you will
think it cooler than any ice cream that you
ever tasted Of in this world" Jack admitted
the force OF the illustration and declined
further controversy.
A PCBLIcAN CAN GET DRUNK IN His Own
HOUsE.-A decision Of great importance to-,
publcans was given in the Queen Bench Di-
vision on Thursday A publican was charged
before the Stipendiary Magistrate at Stafford
in December last with havingS been found
drunk on his own licensed premises The
charge was brought under the twelfth section
of the Licensing Act of 1872, which states
that every person found drunk on licensed
premises is liable to penalty of ten shillings
The publican, whose wife had called in a po-
liceman at half-past IL o'clock at night, after
the premises had been closed for half an hour,
was convicted and appealed with success
against the conviction, which was quashed by |
the Judges on the follwlng grounds What |
ever evil example the publican was setting
was to his own wife and family. If the CON
viction was right publican could be fined !
for being drunk in his own bed, an offence, if |
it can be so called, many other persons not |
publicans commit with impunity. A publican
who gets drunk at home after closing hours is
not guilty of any offence against public order,
but simply commits a breach of domestic pro-
oriety and decorum. The Licensing Act was
lot intended to affect the private life of
nan who keeps a public house, but the
drunken public life of man. 1t may be
rood for the publican to keep sober, but the
ct does not deal with the morality of pub
lean When his house is closed it becomes
riyate house. The Legislature did not in
end to fine man for becoming drunk simclic-
ter, Drupkenegs per Sc is not an offence
gainst public order The decision of the

Pope County Fair.

At meeting of the Directors of said Fair, held on the 2lst inst, the time of holding the Fair was changed to Thursday and Friday the 1st and 2d days Of November.
 We hope that this change will not interfere with the interest or success of the Fair. The County and Cir. cult Courts being in session at the time heretofore fixed, it was deemed proper for the success of this enter prise to make the change as herein shown.
 We promised to give list of the premiums this week, but as the time is changed we will not do so now, but will give it in ample time.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

Our readers have been apprised, by notice of the Secretary, hereto fore published in the DEMOCRAT, of the postponement of the County Far from the time formerly set to the lst and 2d days of November We deem tEis action wisely taken, and we are glad that the people have now more time to prepare for the Fair.
 That the County Fair is great school for the farmer is admitted by all who know anything about them. The experiment of holding County Fair has not heretofore been tried in our County, but from the zeal and interest now manifested. we believe that our fair this year will be com plete success and will pave the way for continued succession of fairs, which will rapidly grow in import ance and interest throughout all coming years. We urge upon all , our people to begin at once to pre- pare something for the display. Farmers get your farm and field pro ducts ready! Get your stock ready too, and let us show what we have got in this line. Mechanics get up some skilllul piece of work for the exhibition! Merchants be ready to do what you can to make the display complete and interesting! Ladies prepare your skilled sewing, em- hroidery, &c., &c., and be ready to how your skill in baking and cook ing! All of you can contribute something to make the occasion in tercsting and profitable. And if you have nothing else to display you can at the very least display yourselves, and thereby lend your aid and en- couragement to the occasion. If you will ali turn out and do what you can we know it will be success.
 What say you?

Good use for a Dime.

We advise all our readers to forward their address and 10 cents to Orange Judd & Co.,, 245 Broadway, New York, who make special offer to send for this sum (half price and postage) the number for October 1st, of the Ameri- can Agriculturist. This splendid num- Der, besides over 50 engrayings, con- tains great amount of useful, practi- cal, reliable, reasonable information, not only for the farm and garden, but for the Household, Children included. Most will get from it hints and sugges- tions worth ten or twenty times its cost . Better still, to send $1.60 and receive the paper, postpaid, from now to the end of 1S7S-that is, all of vol ume g, with the rest of this year free. (Two copies for $l 50 each.) Nowhere else can one get so much really valua- ble, paving information for so little money---not 3 cents week, a sum easily saved or produced extra, which the paper will be sure tU help one to do. This Journal is prepared by practical men and women, who know what they talk and write about from actual expe- rience and large observation, and they can and do greatly aid others to profit able planning and working. Many single hints and suggestions each abun- dantly repay a years cost. The fear less exposures of quackery and hum bugs in every number, are invaluable, and have saved its readers and the country millions of dollars. The de- partments for. the Household and Chill dren are pleasing and instructive. Every number of the paper is beauti- fully illustrated. In short, the Anleri- can Agriculturist is full of good things, for every man, woman, and child, ill city, village, and country. Take our advice and send $l.60 for II months, or at least send Dime for the half-price specimen now offered, and see it for yourselves.

NOW Is THE TIME.

Scores Of our citizens who are not regular subscribers have done us the honor to express their good opinion of our paper and wisi it great sue cess, promising that as soon as they get able they would become regular subscribers. or course we appre- ciate all these kind wishes, but we beg leave to remind our friends that good wishes and long deferred prom ises do not go far toward footing the expense of publishing a paper. We suggest that now being tine season of the year when all of our farmers are realizing money from the bounti- ful crops with which they have been blessed, it. is q most appropriate time for them to come up and invest n dollar and a half in their county paper. A better investment with so small sum of money you will never . have another opportunity to make. You are now abundantly able to sub scribe-you can no longer put up the excuse of inability. The man who has been industrious and true to himself this year and is now not able to pay $l.50 for his county pa
 
 per for l5 months, is indeed pitt ful specimen of humanity. We want every family in Pope county to re ceive the DEMOCRAT weekly. We ask those who are able to pay for it to come up now while money is plenty and subscribe, and if there are any who are actually willing to state on their honor that they are not able to pay for it, let them too, come and we will make them a present of it. What could be fairer than this? We are getting terribly in earnest in our work. We want to know that our paper is doing good It is no fun for us to run paper without mak ing cent, unless we feel thatwe are accomplishing some good.
 We know that the paper will dc good if the people will take it and read it more generally. This is what we want them to do, or else t IS useless for us to work at the busi- ness. If the people of our county appreciate county paper devoted to thclr home interests now IS the time for them to show it. Our pa per soon will have been conducted here three years, and this length oI time, we take it, will demonstrate pretty conclusively whether the peo Die here want home journal or not
 We ought to receive three hundred more rev subscribers in this county between now and Jan. lst. How many shall we receive?

Late cable advices note the manifesto
ton of growing hostility toward Eng
land in the organs of public opinion ia
Germany. 1t is even declared in seme
quarters that Germany will not permit
England to occupy any commanding
position on the Dardanelles or to assume
control of the outlet of the Black sea.
The power of absolute prevention is not
in the hands Of the Germans at present,
and it is not probable. therefore. that
this treat is officially inspired Just
now. England's naval strength in the
Mediterranean, reinforced by the Chan
nel squadron, larely ordered in that d.
rection. is probably sufficient to assure
her control no. only of the Dardanelles
but Of the Straits of Gibraltar as we'll.
Ultimately a concentration of hostile
fleets might successfully dispute this
supremacy, but it is not believed that
there is at this time any naval force
ahoat in the Mediterranean that would
venture to contest the movement Of the
English iron-clads, backed by those of
Turkey, to the Dardanelis or the Bos-
phorus.

1t would seem that the president is
not fully satisfied with his title to his
Office. He has the air of man who is
detected and uncertain. He is not at
all administrative. On the contrary, he
is sad and reluctant to consider any of
the doubts and misgivings that are from
time to time presented to him. With
concern he notices that the heart of the
people is not with him. He saw this
plainly when he 'isited Philadelphia,
and it was almost as plain on his trip
down Fast, and he is afraid that he viii
not have hearty reception when he
goes South. In sober truth, the presi-
dent is an object of commiseration, mas
much as he does not possess the conf
dence of his own party, and daily re-
ceives stringent criticism from the demo-
cratic e.-Philadelphia Item.
