A Trout that Eats Birds.

\ correspondent Of Land and Water
tells a welI-accredited story Of trout
canght in tue act of swallowing a
sparrow which it had seized. The
trout had been kept for some time in
an open shallow we'll or spring, and
has become very tame. In the well
was very fat stone, one end of which
projected above the water. On this
small birds alight to drink, and the
villagers suspected that more than ono
of them had fallen victims to the
trouts rapacity This was correct
for one day while the owner of the
we'll was passing with some friends a
splashing in the water caused them
to turn and look. There was the trout
struggling hard to gulp his prey. One
of the spectators, fearing the fish
would be checked by the wing feath-
ers, thrust his hand into the water
and caught hold of them. But the
trout, unwilling to surrender any part
of bis prize, held on resolutely, and
the feathers had to be taken from him
at once.

General Sherman and His Son.

1t is not true, as has been represent
ed, that General Sherman gave his
consent to the resolution of his eldest
son to be Catholic priest The name
of the young man is thomas Ewing
Sherman. He was educated at
Georgetown, D. G., and Yale College,
where he took a scientific course, and
attended course Of law lectures at

months age he astonished his parents
by stating his purpose, and told his
father that his passage was already
engaged to Europe and that he pro-
posed to attend an English jesuit
school. 1t has been represented that
General Sherman cheerfully acqui.
esced in this, but he did not. The in
cident was q very painful one to the
General, and the action of the young

they were not to be used think Pur-
man had them in his possession before
election; had conversation with Jo-
seph Bowes, now holding position
in Washington, who was one of the
Inspectors at Precint No. 13. Bowes
told me afterwards that he got in or
put in Is or IA Of the jokers; remon-
strated with him about it when the
Congressional Committee was there,
and told him his bungling manner of
doing the whole thing had got the
party into trouble; he said he didn't
care; that those 73 votes had given
Hayes majority in Florida un-
derstood he put the tickets in himself.
The canvass by the County Board in
cluded all the votes, as shown by the
returns of each precinct. Bowes said
the poll-list had been made to cores
pond with the number of jokers' put
in. Ny opinion, when told before
election about the jokels,' was that
they were to be used fradulently, and
for that reason L and other Republic
ans demonstrated against their use.
Purman told me that he knew of an
election that had been carried by the
use of such votes, and showed me one
or two of those it was proposed to
USE"
(Purman'S name you will see on the
"little joker" He was Republican
candidate for Congress-.
Judge McLin swore as follows:
Witness was shown by Bowes one
of the 'little.joker' tickets prior to the
election, and was informed by Bowes
that the use intended to be made of
them was TO fold one in each ticket of
the ordinary size, so that the voter
would vote two instead of one vote
at time. Witness demonstrated
against this. and thought at the time
the plan had been abandoned"
If Bowes desires to give his evil
dence, by all means let him be pres
ent at the term Of our Circuit Court.
and an opportunity will be given him
under the humane provisions of the
Florida statute which permits crimi-
nails to testify in their own behalf.
Will he come? But perhaps he can
not be spared from his official duties

Tilton has been giving his wife abundant

"Oh, hang your letter-writing; there were
half dozen better things you could have

But what else could we have done in the
matter?" queried Sherman.
ooh, if the President had but said the
word to Nichols, it would have saved us all
the misery of staying in prison. A line
from Hayes would have done the business.
AS for writing letters, you might have writ
ten 200 of them and they would not have
been worth any more than SO much waste

The interview was continued in this vein

the Senate, headed by Edmunds, object to
the Immediate consideration of the House
bill creating Gen. Shields Brigadier Cen

Four days ago the Republicans were clam
oring for a recognition of his great services.
His services have been recognized by the
Democratic House of Representatives, and
now We have the proof of Republican sin
cerity. The Senate, with it's Republican
majority, hesitates, and sneers, and equivo-
Gates. We hope that the Democratic SEN
ators will insist or an immediate vote, under

cero affection Of the Republican party for
the old hero of two wars. for the flag and

lark FROM THE TONES.

Gorham, the fossil secretary of the United
States Senate, has come forth from Noah's
ark to tell Hayes what to do to save the
Republican party. The difficulty is, that
the Republican party is beyond the hope OF
salvation, and neither President Hayes nor
the anxious Gorham can bring it to life. 1t
is already dead. The Republican party died
OF Grant and carpet-bag misrule, Of revenue
lnformers, Of railroad speculations, of the
District of Columbia robbery, of whisky
frauds, of the Freedmen's Savings bank
swindle. of Belknap and Babcock and i'm
peachments and criminal prosecutions. It
was buried by the seven to eight electoral
commission Of 1877.
It is therefore unkind in the ancient Cor
ham to come from obscurity to criticise the
President. Hayes is not President by the
grace of the defunct Republican party, but
by the forbearance, and patriotism, and con-
Citation of majority of the American peo-
pie. Where are the Republican leaders who
have sustained him? Look at Howe, Conk-
ling, Blaine, Butler, Chandler, and the re-
cent caucus of the party at Washington.
These are the Republican friends of Hayes.
On the other hand, when did President
of the United States receive from the oppo-
sition such constant forbearance, respect,
and sometimes support, as Hayes has re-
ceived from the Democratic party. The en-
tire South, with its delegation Congress,
have stood by him. and even under terrible
trial, as III the late repeated attempt to con-
ciliate the scoundrels of the Louisiana Re
turning Board
Why, then, should MIR. Gorhan lecture the
President: He says, fourteen Northern
Congressional Districts must Ice gained to
have one Republican majority in the next
House Of Representatives. They will not
be gained. Lay not that 1lattering JUNCTION
to your soul, Gorham. The next election
will give Democratic government, and then
Gorham and the postmasters may retire.

HONEY IN POLITICS And ELECTIONS.

HONEY IN POLITICS md ELECTl ONS.
Money is just SO much moro powerful
factor in politics, than either temperance or
religion, as it dictates and controls these
two great social and political influences.
That is to say, q more powerful factor in
compensation, for money is the root of polit-
ical evil, and the curse o popular elections.
Il poor man has little chance
to obtain Office, unless backed by a
church, or nationality, or some society whose
organization should crumble into ashes the
moment it NEEDLES with politics under free
government.
In France and Germany, and other coun-
tries the continent, tie Government, for
the most part, controls the elections, and
elects its delegates. In England the same
process is resorted to, but the middle classes
are too powerful to be bought. It costs
nearly fortune to be elected to Parliament
in England, and when elected, the member,
receiving no pay, is beggarly pensioner on
one party or the other, until he either gains
such distinction as to command, or sinks
into such insignifcance as to be bought by
the government. The English govern
eminent is so admirable as the
perfected science of tyranny as to command
respect, and exclude anything like affection.
We are fast following the footsteps of Eng
land, and other countries where suffrage ex-
lists, either in form or substance. From GU,
preliminary cancuses, and local assemblies,
and conventions, to the highest positions
money is getting to be the controlling power.
Animals, walking on two legs, and calling
themselves men, go from one candidate tc
another demanding money for their votes
They hang around street corners for free
whisky, and beg the money with which te
perjure their souls, and to sink their man
hood into brutes.
This is one of the great evils q

given to every man, by our gov

but to defend the honor of the government
and to keep nnsulliea the good name Of the
