FROM THE EAGLE TO THE MULE.

Hon. George w. Peck, in his Fourth
of July oration at La Crosse, Wis, said
att may have been noticed that thus
far have made no allusion to the Amer
lean eagle, the national trade mark, pat
ent applied for, but it is not that 1 do
not appreciate the position that species
of poultry occupies on these occasions.
The poet alluding to tho eagle, says:
"Bird Of the broad and feeting wing,
Thy home is high in heaven"
"This is too true. EIe is high old
bird, and the committee that selected the
eagle as a national emblem should have
been arrested for disorderly conduct. 0
great bird You live on mice. You
soar aloft on pinions airy, until you see
a poor little lame mouse, then you swoop
down like ward constable and run him
in. You are a nice old bird for nation
of heroes, you old coward You bald
headed old reprobate, you would turn
tail and run from an attack of bantam
rooster. 0 eagle, you look well on dress
parade, but you are a unanimous coward
and you eat snakes. You are a fraud,
and you were counted in tot.
The bird that should have been select
ed as the emblem of our country, the
bird Of patience, forbearanCe, perseVer-
ance, and the bird of terror when arous-
ed, is the mule. There is no bird that
combines more virtues to the square foot
than the mule When he is enblazoned
on ouI banners we should be terror to
the foe. We are nation Of uncom'
planning, hardworkers. We mean to do
the fair thing by everybody. We plod
doing as we would be done by. So does
the mule. We as nation occasionally
put our ears forward, and fan flies off our
forehead. So does the mule. We let
parties get on and ride US as long as they
behave themselves. So does the mule.
But hen any nation puts spurs into our
hanks, and tick !es,our heels with,a straw
we come stiff-legged in front, our ears
look to the beautiful beyond, our voice
cuts loose, and is still for war, and our
subsequent end plays the snare drum on
anything that gets in reach of us, and
strikes terror to the hearts of all tyrants,
So does the mule. When the country
gets older, and Congress has time to get
in its work, the eagle will be superseded
as the national trade mark, and in its
place will rise the mule in all his glory.

The Free Press this week did not in
quire of the Chronicle if it had heard
the news from Maine" This is most
painful omission of duty on their part
something they have not failed to do once
a year, since the Chronicle was estab>
lished. Some years Maine gave $4,000
majority on the state ticket, while other
years it run as low as Io,ooo-but the
Free Press always gave us the same old
serenade. Have you heard from
Maine ?" It didn't ask us this year, be.
cause the Republican nominee for Cow
ernor is defeated as well as two of the
five members of Congress; and the hearse
that they usedto drive through our soul
is now going backwards through theirs.

THE latest trick of the Republican

General Sherwood has got on a ticket
at last. The Lucas county Nationals
have nominated him for Probate Judge.
This is rather small office for an ex.
Congressman to aspire to. Sherwood
reminds us OF the man who started out
in life with the certainty that he was 60
ing to be President. After while he
came down in his ambitious views to
Governor, then to Congressman, and

HOW TO LEARN TO SWIM.

Every boy and girl should learn to
swim. A writer in the American Agri-
culturalist offers the following sugges-
tions, by obedience to which the art
ofsWimming may be readily acquired:
When I was a boy, 1 learned to swim
by means of a swimming board. This is
the safest method possible. If corks are
used, they may slip from around the
breast down beneath the body, throwing
the head below the surface, and putting
the wearer in danger Of drowning.
Some country boys get two bladders
and then tie them together with a short
cord, and use them as supports. These
are the most dangerous things possible
for q boy to have.
The board is perfectly safe, and one
may learn to swim in very short time
BY using one. 1t should be over four
feet long, over foot wide, and two in
ches thick, made of soft white pine or
cedar.
To use it boy wades into the water
up to his shoulders, then taking hold OF
the end of the board, he pushes it before
him-towards the bank, and not into
deeper water-springs forward with his
feet, and throws himself fiat upon the
water.
This movement carries him along a few
feet. He then draws up both his feet at
the same time, keeping his knees as far
apart as possible, and then strikes out
with both feet not straight backward but
sideways just as a frog does.
The stroke is made slowly and steadi-
ly. The board keeps the head above wa
ter. When the leg stroke has been learn
ed, one hand is taken from the board
and the stroke learned, or the chin may

of his coming, and saved her desolation

brother? Have it. Reckon it on your

you over its mountains, and sustain thee
amid its billows. Part with all beside,
but keep thy hope.

In 1867 John Sherman remarked of
the proposition to pay the fve'twenty
bonds in greenbacks;
The whole proposition is Utopian,
demagogical, mean, dirty, nasty scheme,
which no party but the Copperhead party
in the United States could invent.
In few months afterward he wrote to
Hon. A. Mann, Jr., Brooklyn heights:
al think the bondholder violates his
promise when he refuses to take the
same kind of money. he paid for his
bond" and shortly after that again he
made an elaborate argument in the Sen
ate to prove that the bonds were payable
in greenbacks, and gave the bondholders
warning that, unless they funded their
five twenty six per cent. bonds in new
bonds bearing five per cent. interest, he
would "not hesitate to vote to redeem
maturing bonds in the currency in ex-
istence when they were issued, and with
which they were purchased" Which
shows that John Sherman is either very
erratic or very dishonest man, politi>

TIE ANGELIC SPARK.

OF Red Kenner, who was recently killed near
Cherry Creek by the fall Of horse, the Ploche
Record says; Although Red Kenner was a wild
and reckless sport" and has lived in the noun
tsins for number Of years, he never forgot his
old mother back in the States and after selling
property down at Silver Reef for some $4,000 or
500 900, he took trip home, purchased his moth
or nice and comfortable homestead and gave
her nearly $4,000 to keep her from want In her
old age, then returned to his wild mountain
home with light heart, knowing that his mother
was well provided for for the balance of her days
on this earth. No matter how many Reds sins
may be, his kindness to his mother will obliterate
them all to the eyes Of the people, Vir. (NeU)

Glancing over the work styled Ohio
in the war;" written by Whitelaw Reid,
now editor of the New York Tribune,
we find a mention of General Wiley, the
Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Portage Stark district. The General
was Colonel of the Forty, fret Ohio. At
Orchard Knob, when General Thomas
cold Pap y passed where the fight had
been thickest, before the rebel works,
and where lay the dead horses of Colonel
Wiley and Lieutenant Colonel Bob KimN
berly, he called for the officers of the
Fortysfrst, and said, Colonel Wiley,
want to express to your men my thanks
for their splendid conduct this afternoon.
1t was gallant charge, Colonel--a VSry
gallant thing, SIR" Mr.. Reid says ;

better than an hours speech from any
other man. PLAIN Dealer.

is taken with both hands.
5 This is very good plan as 1t compels
the swimmer to keep his hands under
the water which he should always do,
By.and.by the board may be pushed
and the young swimmer may swim after
it, always keeping it within reach. When

WHERE IT HURTS.
Secretary Sherman, the New York zrt-
6HHe and others of that ilk affect to think
that the Maine election looks as if the
Greenbackers would absorb the DemN
ocratic party" Such arguments are thus
answered by the New York W0r(a:
If our Republican friends will look
over the map of the United States they
will find that the Greenback movements
have lost Indiana to the Republicans,
Maine to the Republicans, Pennsylvania
to the Republicans, Ohio to the Republi-
cans, part of Vermont to the Republi-
cans. They will not find that in any
Democratic State the National or any
other third.part movement has placed
the Democratic domination in danger,
even when the Republican minority has
fostered it and aided it. AS for the parN
ticular instance, one section of the Maine
Democracy has "disintegrated that
is, has Joined with the Republican malN
contents and overthrown the Blaine
power, which the party united had been
unable to do. The Democratic party
has been through several crises and has
had its cataclysms," but it has always
survived to bury its antagonist We in

ment is going to cost their party several

PENDLETON ON THE MAINE HURRICANE.
Preceding his Columbus speech Mr.,
Pendleton stated that ten years ago he
had been in far off Maine, advocating
the cause Of greenbacks, and he asked
to be excused from any imputation Of
egotism if he should now read the eviN
dence of the fruits of his labor, He then
read the following dispatch amid the
greatest enthusiasm
