ALIUNDE JOE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

STOWE, VT, August 17.-Justice Joe
Bradley, the maker of his Fraudulency
De FactO Hayes, spends his leisure mo-
inents here at stowe this summer. His
family, consisting Of his wife, one
daughter and two sons, are domiciled
ut the Mount Mansfield Hotel for the
season. With them he remains Il few
days at II time; then, in the early
morning before the bt,arlerS art. awake,
he is found in tho stage on his way to
Washington. He goes and come, like
an uneasy spirit. This is his third
summer ut Stowe. The two former
years he occupied the Butler cottage, Il
handsome residence OH the slope of
Sunset Hill, overlooking the village
and Il long stretch of the valley. This
year ne gave it up, and took to hotel
life. Whether it was the fate of the
former owner OF the cottage that inn
PEELED him to this step, or whether the
cares OF hOuseke eping were too Onerous,
has not been settled satisfactorily to
the country people, who will gossip
about everything. The house has a
tragic interest attached to it. 1t was
built about six years ago by Mr.. III. V.
Butler of the Ivanhoe Mills, Patterson,
N. j.. Its cost, together with that of
laying out suitable grounds, was about
$7O,OOO, no expense being spared. Mr..
Butler never occupied it. On the day
that lie was to move his family in, his
horse ran away with him, and hurled
him on IL heap of stones. When he was
picked up it was found that his skull
was fractured. Nobody cared to occupy
the house, and for two seasons it re-
manned tenantless. The Justice broke
the ice, moved in, and last fall moved
out again.
The Judge is an interesting study as
he walks the Office and piazzas of the
hotel. He moves about uneasily, wan
ders to the thermometer and gazes at it
absent mindedly, then turns and
watches the clouds, and yet in Il crowd
he appears always on the alert, and his
eyes guard his vicinity with a watch
fitness that suggests suspicion, if not
fear. He never enters or leaves the
dining-rootn without a quick, searching
glance to the right and left. They say
here that he has grown thin Of late.
Care and conscience will do much to
relieve II man of his flesh. Some of the
guests pay that difference to his judicial
position which a class of Americans in
variably give to rank and title. Others
pass him with Il nod, and still others,
including one or two blunt old gentle
men of the Jacksonian school, ignore
his presence altogether.
The "Joker," or " Eightspot," as
some of the natives call the Justice,
doesn't Patronize horse flesh much. He
seldom or never takes q ride, except
when he goes to and from the railroad
station at Waterbury, II stretch of ten
miles. lie keeps indoors almost en-
tirely, playsa little at chess, aud spends
much of his, time in his own room.

a good deal has lately been said In
the journals of the country concerning
the death of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. Certainly there eau
be no question but that the nation is
now going through a political crisis
which will eventually involve new
party combinations. There is one fact,
however, about which there can be no
dispute. The Republican party in the
South Is extinct. In Il number OF
States its organization has been dissol-
we'd, and to future contests it will not
appear as IN element Of much account
in the local politics of the Southern
States. OF course this can not last
long. The Democratic party, or rather
the Southern people, will naturally
divide upon local and national issues,
aud the Republican element, as we'll
as the negro vote, will be- catered to
and have influence in moulding the
policy of one or the other of the South
ern parties.-N. Y. Graphic.

THE LIFE OF A COUNTRY EDITOR.

What sort of a life this is, depends
like most other things, upon circum-
stances, In early life had some edi-
torial experience in II small way, and
1t taught me Il few useful lessons, which
We're a compensation for the absence
OF any pecuniary returns. To preside
over II small village newspaper, with Il
limited number of subscribers, and
which would never pay its way but for
the advertisements,-to do all the work
without any aid, read the exchanges,
and Gull out whatever is worth motto
ing,-to be ON the watch day and night
that no matter of local concern escape
attention. to con over all the poetry
and prose forwarded for publication
by GA Constant lseatler,''--to satisfy
good old Mr.. C:,llomell that you have
no belief in the quack medicines which
of course you cannot refuse to adver-
tisc,-to convince the able and learned
Squire Crawohett that you reported his
last great plea us accurately as you
could to impress the mind of Parson
Blewlor with the fact that you are not
in sympathy with any of the new
lights who occasionally burn their fee
bic tapers in your columns,--to keep
the peace all round and at the same
time manage never to express an opin-
ion on any suhject,-all this combines
to make the life Of q country editor
som0what cumbersome. Perhaps he
writes with much ability, but the num-
Der of his readers is small, and few re-
cognize his talent,-his articles are not
much copied, because they come from
an obscure source, and SO lie is left to
struggle ON, it may be working his
own press and folding his own papers,
while Others, who are possibly no bet
ter endowed than he. are reaping rich
harvests in more productive fields

ELECTION LAWSUIT IN CHICAGO.
[Chicago Tilnes.l


Mr.. Perlee H. Webster is n Democrat
ic politician Of Chicago. He joined Il
company OF rangers and went around
with big drum and torch during
the time Of the election, and hallooed
himself hoarse shouting for 'Fiiden.
Presently he came across g man NAM
| ed John Il. Burton, who was a bad Re-
| publican. John was shouting as loud
for Hayes and Wheeler as Webster
was for Tilden and Hendricks. At
length these two ardent politicians
came together. They argued with one
another, and finally offered to back up
their respective opinions by betting.
Mr.. Webster said he had IL parcel of
land in Humphrey county, Tenn,
worth 1900, which he would put up
against any similar amount Of proper
ty. Burton also had Il tract Of Illinois
land which he valued at $4,000. 1t
was agreed that deeds should be made
out to each other, which documents
were to be placed in the hands of
Henry Whipple, II mutual acquain-
tnnce. IfTitden was elected, Whipplc
was to hand over the deed of BurtOn's
land to Webster. Ii Hayes was elect
cd, Whipple was to hand over the
deed of Wehsters land to Burton. The
deeds were executed and placed in
Whipple's hands,
When election returns began to get
rather mixed and when, after n while,
the Louisiana Returning Board got the
matter in their own hands, Webster
walked around to Mr.. Whipple and in
formed him that his opinion was that
Tiiden was fairly elected, and that he
should not, on any account, turn over
the deed to Burton. Whipple disre-
garded the wishes of Webster, and
soon after Hayes's Inauguration he
handed Burton the deed for Webster's
land.
Webster yesterday fled voluminous
bill in chancery against Burton and
Whipple, narrating this whole trans
action, and calling upon the court to
set the transfer aside, and also asking
for an injunction restraining Burton
from selling or REMEMBERING the pro-
perty

No intelligent family in Minnesota or in
the Northwest, which does not take the Daily,
can afford to do without the WEEKLY
PIONEER PRESS. No other Weekly in
the State compares with it in. extent, COM
pleteness, variety and interest of it's news

PIONEER PRESS to the LOCAL w ANTS

adjacent States and Territories.
In addition to the general features of a
newspaper and family journal, It's full and ac-
curate MARKET reports of st. Paul. Mime
apolis, Milwaukee, Chicago and all great
grain and produce centres, and its FARM and
Stock departments, edited by leading agr-
cultural writer of long experience, render it
especially valuable to farmers; while its
HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT made up of
the contribution of Intelligent Mnneso ia
women in every part of the State is a univer-

Pioneer Press is indispensable to any family
in this Northwestern region which wishes to
keep posted on its local events, enterprises,
politics. public affairs, and discussions affect
ing the interests of all classes of its people.

AS Tom wasn't con the marry" he
finally compromised with $40" by
accepting an elegant eagles feather
from his headdress, and several
weazel tails from his fur necklace.
With his well known generosity,
Tom has shared his trophies with
US, giving us weazel tail for our
cabinet of curiosities, for which we
feel under many obligations. Since
Toms return he has severely re-
pented that he did not bring back a
wife or two, as ne has been quite
severely taken 10 task by County
