HERx's Your MISREPRESENTATION concern
at Highland, the Sentinel, has done deal Of
yelping, for its size, about Republican rAscality
and corruption, bribery and black mailing, buy-
ing and selling. 1t was especially positive that
Mr.. Rippsy could not be bought; and, from
what we hear, it is discovering that it was cor
rect In this particular. 1t is currently reported
that the Publisher of the Sentinel has demanded
500 Of Mr.. Rippey, for supporting him as can
didste for Representative; and that Rippey
having respectfully declined, the Sentises man
threatens to sue him. Tho Greenback "organ"
threatening to sue candidate for pay for snp-
porting the ticketl Why, corrupt Republican
paper never did such thing as that. And yet
the era of honesty aud reform was to be ushered
in by the Greeubaek party. And how long viii
1t be until the Sentinel goes to join that long
caravan Of Doniphan County newspapers that
have jonrneyed down into the silent valley
This little enterprise that we have spoken of,
makes it look as if the case was becoming des-
perate.

II Last May, three horses strayed from Sher-
III Vanderslice, of this County. He made every
effort to find them, but they were not recovered
until about ten days ago, when they were found
in Atchison County, where a farmer had taken
them up. 1t cost Mr.. Vsnderslice about SIS to
get them back. During the time they were lost,
he examined every number of the Kansas Farm
er, for some notice of their being taken up, but
found none. The very reason assigned for CIV
ing the Farmer q monopoly of the stray adver-
tising, and for holding it, was that it would be
o great aid to farmers in finding lost stock, as
they would know just where to look for an-
nouncements of strays taken up. Not one farm
or in thousand finds his stock by this means;
yet the monopoly Is perpetuated.

II The case of the Leavenworth County
Commissioners may be of interest to those 9TH
er Counties having bond suits on hand. Boud
suits were some time ago decided against Leav-
enworth County, and q writ of maudamus was
issued requiring the County Commissioners to
levy tax for the payment of interest. They
refused, and last week the Commissioners were
arrested, and taken before the United States
Circuit Court, to show cause why they had moi
complied with the order. As the ta1-books
were already in the hands of the treasurer, and
Q large part of the taxes paid, it was not deem
ed expedient to compel the Commissioners te
levy the bond tax now but they were placed
under bonds to answer at the June term of the
Court, and also not to resign their offices. II
will be seen that County Commissioners have q
hard road to travel, in the process of escaping
from the bond gouges.

n A story was published, short time since,
to the effect that Gen. Reno, who was killed al
the battle of South Mountain, was shot by
. man in Col. (now Prcsiden,) Hayes regimen {,
in revenge for some indiguity perpetrated by
Reno upon members of the regiment. The sto-
~ found but few believers; but now comes q
confederate in Alabama, who says that he
shot Gen. Reno, and gives full particulars. A
bushxhacker and q traitor to his country is
just the style of men to beast of having deliber-
ately singled out, aimed at, and shot down even
an enemy in battle.

BLAINE.-Senator Blaine has IN ade rousing
speech in the Senate, on Southern election out
RACES, which will awaken the country to the
dangers to be apprehended from the ascenden-
cy of the Rebel Democracy. Thurman and 9TH
er Northern dough-faces attempted a reply, but
their efforts we're feeble. Three years ago,
Blaine came to the front, in the hour of need,
and aroused the North to a sense of the danger
from Rebel designs 1t was he who stirred up
the people to degree that made the election OF
q Republican President possible; but when It
came to nominate President, he was put aside,
and q BOBBY nominated, who has done more
harm to the country than half dozen Demo-
cratic Presidents could have done. Now it de-
wolves upon Blaine to come to the rescue, and
save the Republican party from the evil effects
of Hayes imbecility and treachery.

Held at Bay by a Tigress.
Chambers journal.

A tigress with young cubs is always
very savage, and viii sometimes charge
anybody approaching her den or other
resting place before her own presence
Is at all suspected. Three men in the
service of the writer were once obliged
to take refuge on rock only six or
seven feet high, where all angry tigress
bayed them, and repeatedly threatened
to charge home for at least two hours.
One of the men was armed with a
sword, and the other two had nothing
but sticks in their hands. The tigress
crouched at the very foot of the rock,
which was small but fat-topped, over
and over again. She there alternately
blinked and glared at the unfortunate
men, who only succeeded in keeping
her from actually springing on them by
dint of vigorous and incessant shouting,
and constantly changing front, according
as the tigress herself kept moving from
one side of the rock to another, and oc-
casionally retiring a few PAGES, and then
stealing forward and crouching again.
The state of their Threats and the terri
bly, husky whisper to which their voices
were in the end reduced, may easily be
imagined. However, down to their
humblest followers, hunters as rule
are merry set, and directly actual
danger has passed away, the danger is
forgotten.
