The Republicans of this county can
carry the State ticket by 600 majority,
and elect every candidate on the county
ticket by large majOrities, if every Re-
publican does his duty. Go to the polls
and vote and work for the straight ticket.

WHAT advantage can Republican gain
by voting for any local candidate on the
Democratic ticket: Does their ticket
present any better or more competent
men for any local offices? We think not.
And besides, the candidates on the Re
publican ticket represent Republican
principles. The Republicans OF Fayette
county have heretofore been too liberal
have allowed their personal friendships
to influence them too much in casting
their votes for candidates for local offices,
and thereby strengthened their political
opponents and placed them in better con-
ditiOn to contend for offices of political
importance. The Democracy don't do
any of that kind of voting; they don't al
low personal friendships to overcome
ther loyalty to party, Any candidate
placed upon the Democratic ticket inthis
county can depend upon the solid Demo-
cratic vote, and spend his time in working
to gain Republican support through per-
sOnal friendship. It is a One-sided bust
ness. When a Democrat is placed iT
Office by Republican votes, as they only
can be in this county, he never fails Il
use all the influence of his Office to ad
vance the interests of his party. In voting
for any candidate on the Democratic
ticket through any consideration, Repub
licans are placing in the hands of thei
political opponents a club with whicl
they are liable to get their own head
broken. Don't do it.

The Republican business men of Wash

great deal of successful work can be done
at the two precincts in this township on

General Hale, of Maine, who comes to
Ohio fresh from the victorious campaign
in that State, says:
"The big meetings, the good speeches
and the great enthusiasm among the Re-
publicans of Ohio are all very we'll, but
the most important influence in such a
campaign, especially in the close coun-
ties, is Individual work. 1t is bad policy
to leave everything to the speakers and
the newspapers. Every Republican in
the State ought to become an active
worker, talk to his neighbOrs and bring
every Republican voter to the polls. That
is what carried Maine for us. Every
body took so much interest in the election
that business for a week before the cleo
ton was almost wholly suspended. That
work had tremendous influence, and in
spite of the odds against us for the last
year or two, brought out a full vote and
gave us the State"

THE Democratic papers are trying 70
steal the credit Of being the author of the
bill granting back pay for the Union sol
diers. They claim that General Rice,
their candidate for Lieutenant-GOvernO
was the author of the bill that passed
Congress and is now the law. General
Rice was not the author of this law. The
bill he introduced would have placed
rebel soldiers on the pension roll, and al
lowed back pay for them as we'll as for
Union soldiers. The bill that became a
law was introduced by Mr.. Cummings,
of Michigan, and not by General Rice.
We have no disposition to take from
General Rice any credit that is due him,
but his friends have no right, and it is
cOntemptibly mean for them to attempt
to steal for his benefit what justly belongs

A doctor named Royston had sued
Peter Bennett for a bill long overdue,
for attending the wife of the latter. AL
exander H. Stephens was on the Ben
nett side, and Robert Toombs- then
Senator of the United States-was for
DR.. Royston. The doctor proved the
number OF visits, and value according to
local custom, and his own authority to
do medical practice. Mr.. Stephens told
his client that the physician lad made
out his case, and as there vas nothing
wherewith to rebut or Offset the claim
the only thing lett to do was to pay it.

Mr.. Stephens told him there was

see that it was made out, and it was.
Peter was obstinate, and at last Mr..
Stephens told him to make a speech
himself if he thought one could be
made.

The Torpedo That Returns.

That intelligent weapon, the fish
torpedo, which, it has been said, can do
pretty nearly everything but talk, lately
made strange mistake, if we are to be-
lieve Lima correspondent writing to
the New York papers. An attempt
was made by the Peruvian steamer
Huascar to destroy Chlllian ironclad
at Antofagasta, the means chosen being
ing, we are told, a new fish torpedo of
English manufacture. The torpedo
was safely launched upon its errand of
destruction, but when halfway toward
the enemy it suddenly changed its
mind, and came slowly back again to-
ward the Huascar itself. There was no
time for the Peruvian man-of-war to
get out of the way; but lieutenant, who
had been watching the path OF the fish
from the deck, jumped overheard, and
happily managed to turn the course of
the torpedo, so that it passed astern of
the Huascar, and thus averted the
danger. A similar incident happened
with one of our own iron-clads that was
practicing with the fish in Portsmouth
water not long ago. In this case, for
tunately, the torpedo was not charged
with gun. cotton. The weapon, after
being launched, made a circular journey
and came back, boomerang-like, under
the very vessel that had discharged it.
But there is one item in the American
account chat is clearly wrong. No fish
torpedoes are made in this country,
with the exception of those produced
at the Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich, and
these, as matter of course, are manu-
featured for the use of our own navy
only. The Whitehead factory is at
Fiume, in the Mediterranean, and from
this source no doubt emanates the
torpedo with the ill-regulated mind of
rudder, that so nearly recoiled upon
the heads OF its owners. The cigar
shaped fish torpedo gets its motion
from compressed air stored inside, and
this issuing at the tail sets in motion
screw which revolyes with considerable
velocity. A we'll constructed fish will
run many hundred yards at a velocity
of twenty miles an hour, and on strik-
ing its head, which contains the charge,
expIodes with considerable violence.
The fish torpedo is therefore n weapon
Of terrible effect; but its value as a
means of effense viii be greatly mar
rowed if We must perforce have officers
ready to jump overheard to direct Its
course when necesssry.-L0aldOn Neaes.

ments OF Foot Guards, the Grenadiers,
Coldstreams, and the Scots Guards.
Their officers are, as a eass, more high
~ connected than are the officers of the
Household Cavalry, and man seldom
gets into the Foot Guards unless he has
large infusion of blue blood in his
veins. The members of the Guards
Club are restricted to the foot regi-
mentss. a large proportion of the Foot
Guards are composed of younger sons.
and there Is thus great diversity of
means IN a regiment, one officer being
heir or perhaps possessor of thrice as
many thousands year as another has
hundreds. As a rule, they are an infe-
rior class OF men intellectually, but the
adlutants are almost invariably very
smart officers. The Guards are almost
always in London or at Westminster
occasionally in camp at Aldershot.
Until ecently a battalion was always
quartered at Dublin, the theory being
that they go where there is a court; but
this has been given up of late. On rare
occasions they go abroad, and thus
served in the Crimea, at Waterloo and
in Canada. 70 be in the guards is con-
sidered social distinction, and would
always enable man TO command an
entrance into very good society, even If
he were not born to such advantages.

Keen Dwellings Dry.

A warm and dry atmosphere is not
unwholesome, but when cloudy or rainy
weather brings a sultry air which damp
ems everything around us, the atmos-
phere may be loaded with the germs OF
disease, and fire is needed to destroy
them. The walls, the ceilings and
floors Of apartments should never be al
lowed to become damp. Sometimes
when the warmth of the air is Oppres-
sive, fire is more necessary to protect
us than in the cold of winter; and the
rooms of dwelling should never be left
without the means of warming and dry
ing. Investigations have shown that
many of the most fatal diseases are
caused by the germs of vegetable and
animal life, and that humid atmos-
phere is most favorable for their pro-
pagation. 1t is, therefore, neglecting
to avail ourselves of the great discover
les of the age, and failing to protect
ourselves from scourges which so fear
fully aff1ict families. when we ignore
the dangers which surround us. Apart
ments exposed to the full action of the
sun may be less comfortable In hot
weather than those from which the suns
rays are excluded, but they are more
wholesome, and when contagious dis
eases prevail in closely built cities 1t is
found that inmates of houses on that
side of the street exposed tothe sun are
less liable to be attacked, while the
greatest number of sick are always
found where there is the least exposure
to the great disinfector-the sun.

Doc. MIDDLETON'S GANG.
The Freebooters of the Niobrara.

Oh raul 0iODe.
United States Marshal McLaren re-
turned home yesterday from Omaha, to
which place he had assisted Special
Agent Llewellyn to escort the noted
robbers Nolan and johnson. Altogeth.
er the marshal declares the journey to
have been an interesting one, due great
ly to Nolan's communicativeness. He
was very free TO talk about his career.
but when the point confessing guilt OF
any crime laid to mis- charge was reach
ed, he was discreetly Silent. From the
marshal's account Nolan is a man OF
parts, and has traits OF character that
both command respect and admiration.
Nolan gave quite an extended account
of his connection with the Doc. Middle
ton gang of horse-thievos, which sounds
like romance IN the adventures relais
ed and the organization of the robber
band. Middleton was feudal lord, al
it were, in the Niobrara country, and
had the settlers of that region as mis-
willing and admiring vassals, while he
lived in camp surrounded by an armed
and alert band of sixty-eight men, of
which Nolan and Johnson were mem.
bers. Middleton married in this sec
ton, and had all his wife's family to
back him up, and through them all the
settlers were won to his support. Nolan

STAND UP REVOLVER RoA RING FIGHT,
but the finesse of diplomacy he abhors
Llewellyn's part IN the capture of Mid
dleton was one requiring pluck and
nerve of an extraordinary degree. He
visited MiGdleton's camp, concealing n
comrade in the woods near by, and re-
manned with the gang for three or four
days, finally decoying Middleton near
the ambush of his comrade. Llewellyn
gave the signal, and Mlddleton's horse
was shot, but not before the horse-thief
chieftain had seen the trap set for him,
and had gotten the drop On the man in
ambush, to the extent of two shots,
from which Llewellyn's companion suf-
fers and is disabled to-day. In the me-
lee, Llewellyn expected to capture Mid
dleton, but he escaped, but not before
he received a terrible wound, and, while
nursing 1t, was subsequently arrested.
This coup de guerre is what Nolan des-
pises.
During the trip through Minnesota,
at every station, an immense crowd was
in waiting, and crowded the cars to take
look at the outlaws. Without any
particular incident, however, the escort
and prisoners reached Omaha, and No
Ian and Johnson were given into custo-
dy of the United States marshal of Ne
braska and lodged in Jail.
