Democratic Colonization Scheme
to Garry a State.
INDIANA THE OBJECTIVE POINT.
The State to be Made Solidly Demo
cratic in 1880.
Trenty thousand Democrats TO be I'm
ported.

A Cincinnati dispatch says: The New
Albany Ledger Standard, the most ia-
hu.ntial Democratic journal in Indiana,
and one OF the mos, independent, is out
IN favor of the Importation into Indiana
Of 10000 Kentucky Democrats, to be
placed upon farms and employed as
laborers or skilled artisans. The Led
ger Standard does not hesitate to say
that Its chief object in favoring such
an immigration Is 10 meet and overcome
by Democratic votes such negro immi
grant. as may be brought into the State
from the South. II is known in Indi-
ans that there will be counter immi
grafton of white Democrat. from Ken.
lucky TO meet any attempted immigra-
ton Of cOlored people from the Seath-
cru States. THIS scheme was what was
meant in threat thrown out by Cover
nor Hendricks in his recent speech at
indianapolis. 1t is aiso known that
prominent Democrats in Kentucky favor
this scheme, aud that they have been in
consultation with Indiana Democrats to
arrange the details for it, which include
the raising of a large sum of money to
be used In aiding these white iinmi-
grants in removing their families. The
Ledger Standard says that 10000 Ken
tucky Democrats y i'll be furnished farms
aud employ ment in Southern Indiana
one, and argues boldly in favor of
such immigration, both from political
and material considerations. The fight
for Indiana in 1880 has fairly begun.
and will be vigorously prosecuted. The
Republicans are confident of their abil
ity to carry the State.

: PITTSBURG RAT CATCHER
HOW HE OPERATES.
HOW HE KILLS THE R.iTS.
The Music He Uses to Entice Them
Out of Their Holes.
He Operates in .NeU York and Pitts
burg.

At last the mOdus operandi of Mr..
Fullerton, the rat catcher now operating
IN Pittsburg, has been discovered. He
wears gun shoes. and his weapons Of
offense are bull's-eye lantern, a pistol
aud pair of tongs. He operates late
at night, when all is quiet. He lodges
stealthily about the by ways of hotels,
every now and then throwing the bright
light of his lantern full in the ewes of
rat. SO binding TIC rodent that he
picks up bis victim wItb0u. any trouble
He then sets his heel on tie rats head
crushing noise is heard, and there is
one pest less in the world. When the
rats fail to come out of their holes, the
catcher makes Loise with his voice
similar to rats squeak, and the ro-
dents, having as much curiosity as a
woman, rush out to see what is the mat
ter, when the relentless topgs seize
them one By one. Occasionally the
pistol is brought INTO play, with a skill
rivaling tina, of Carver, the crack shot.
whenever the rodents repress their Gu
riosity for the time, or when the tongs
cannot reach them. The business must
be lucrative one, as Fullerton travel
ed all the way from New York to give
PittsburRers the benefit of his skill.

A correspondent, writing from At

met the General the other day
and asked him who would be the next
President,
"Grant,' he replied promptly. He
will be the next President and the
last President"

us hint of the old spirit when he
left the Senate in 1860 because he
would not swear that he did not sym

wants the Presidency, and think he
does, it will require man that can
meet the lightning open-eyed to stay

a dispatch from London says. The
former Confederate cruiser Sheuandoah
has sunk of the Islsud of Socstra, IN
the Indian Ocean. The date of the
disaster is unknown. Most of the crew
we're drowned. The Shenandoah be-
longed to the Sultan of Zanzibar. The
Shenandoah was famous Confederate
cruiser, and did great deal of damage
during the closing part of the War Of
the Rebellion. She was built at Glas-
gov in 1858 by London company for
the China trade, under the name of the
Sea King She was sold in 1864, to an
agent OF the so-cailed Confederate gov
ernment and rechristened the Shensn-
doah. She was placed UnGsr :he com
mand of that famous rebel, James Ire
dell Waddeli, and set out On d cruise
against the commerce of the United
States. She first went to Melbourne,
Australia, where she was detained for
twenty-otd DAYS for repairs, the ouiy
port she visited IN a long cruise OF
thirteen months During this cruise
she was active only eight months Of
the thirteen; but during that time Wad-
dell made SO captures, valued at SO,
100000. He destroyed 81 vessels and
released six on bond. The Shenandoah
continued her prey upon commerce un-
til six months after the Appomattox
surrender, " addell not knowing how
affairs were going on at home. He was
informed of the collapse Of the Con.
federacy while in Asiaiic waters, and
proceeded to Liverpool, where the vss-
sci was turned over to the British Gov
ernment. She afterwards was pur-
chased by the Sultan of Zanzibar.

IT is we'll known how unfortunate
General Sicsles was in his domestic
relations some years ago, and how he
kiilel N IN named Key, to vind.ca.e,
as he supposed, the dignity of his
fanny. Again The bitter cup of fam
iiy trouble has been pressed to his
lips, his daughter having inst eloped
with an adventurer. A Chicago pa
per publishes the unenviablo record
of the man McCarty, with whom Miss
Laura Sickles is said to have cloped.
He is no other than the dashing il
dividual who. under the name of Col.
". c. McCarty, used to be seen about
the streets of Chicago, and obtained
notoriety by his brigandish dress,
his ''mashing" airs and his perfect sea
of trouble with unappreciative cred
itors. 1t VIII be of interest to the
present Mrs. McCarty, If there be
such person alive, to know that she
is not the first person upon whom
the Colonel has bestowed his name
In November, 1875, he married the
widow of a certain Chicago doctor
who had committed suicide owing to
domestic troubles. What became of
this Mrs. McCarty deponent saith
not. The Colonels greatest noto
riety in Chicago grew out of his
swindling mining operations. He was
connected with the American Bureau
of Mines, the Bastrop coal company,
the Wachita company, and other
swindling concerns, his favorite
dupes being moneyed Britishers. In
the spring of 1877, McCarty was ar
rested in New York for stealing $780,
600 worth of diamonds, bat he clev-
erly eiuded conviction, and has since
dropped ont Of view in America, only
to pop up again in connection with
the rumored eiopement.
