inst, at 7 o'clock, A. NJ. al the home
of his mother, near Roaring Springs
Trigg County Ky.
Ills suffering for weeks prior tohis
doatli were painful in the extreme.
He was first stricken down with brain
fever, but the disease that caused his
death was typhoid fever. And it is
source ofregrct to his family and
friends that during the last three
weeks Of his Illness, he was uncon-
scions, not recognizing the member
of his own family.
All that medical skill and kind
friends could do, to relieve his suffer-
ing, was done, bnt the disease seemed
to have laid hold upon his what's, and
refused 30 yield 70 their remedies
used. But lie who knowtth nll
things and doelh all things well, saw
fit III His Wisdom TO remove him
from this world. While he was very
dear to us, we bow iu humble sub
mission TO the de;rce of Almighty
God, believing rs we do that all
things work together for good, to
them that love God.

How He Gained His Freedom.


1t has always been thought that
ears of corn have All even number OF
rows, and that one with an odd NUM-
ber Of rows would be nm IInpossi-
biIity. In slavery time this question
was discussed, and negro in this
county claimed that he had seen cars
of that kind. Ills master told him
that hc would give himhis dhe ne-a
gro's) freedom for an ear with an
odd number Of rows. This was IN
tile early spring hutin the fall, DIR
ing corn-gatnering tinc, the negro
came with a sound ear Of corn with
thirteen rows. lie got his froe
papers. A long time afterwards tho
old negro told that in roasiing-ear

A HOME INDUSTRY

The undersigned takes this occasion toreturn his thanks
to the people Of Yankton particularly, and to his many
friends throughout Dakota and Nebraska, for the generous
patronage which has been bestowed upon the late firm Of
DUDLEY & HAWLEY through the many years in which
that firm has carried on business in this city, and he now
desires to call the attention Of these friends and that Of
the people generally to the enlarged facilities, more exten-
sive assortment and more commodious rooms, which the late
firm had provided and which he, as the successor of Dudley
& Hawley. now possesses.
In the line of the Hardware trade, and in the manufacture
of Tin, Copper and Sheet Iron Ware, he claims to have an es-
tablishment equal in all respects to anything in the north
west, occupying three grand rooms, each 25xl0o feet in ex-
tent.
In the future, by constant application to business, h. hopes
to see the Hardware trade of the region which is naturally trib-
utary to to this point, conferred here, and shall spare no effort to
make it fol-. the interest Of the people within this region, to pur-
chase their Hardware, Tinware, Copper and Sheet Iron ware,
Stoves, and all other articles in this line from
Yours gratefully and respectfully.

Kentucky Live Stock Record,

The last of December a man Civ
ing his name as John c. johnson, of
Cook county, Illinois, came to Lex>
ington, Kentucky, to purchase some
trottirg stock. lie bought some six
head of Gen. w. T Withers, and
three head from Mr.. b. j. Treacy,
Ashland Park, Lexington, KY, and
some thirteen head from Mr.. L. l..
Dorsey, Eden Stock Farm, Louis
vile KY. He gave Gen. Withers a
note for the amount, something like
S3 900, secured by mortgage upon
real estate in Illinois. He gave Mr.
Treacy chattel mortgage for 81, >
2jO on the three head bought of him,
but we do not know bow he settled
with Mr.. Dorson. Johnston paid his
hotel bill for himself and friend with
draft on Cincinnati, which came
back protested, which at once
aroused the suspicion of Mtssrs.
Withers and Treacy. They tele-
graphed to the places where johns
ston represented himself as doing
business and discovered that be was
not known. They telegraphed in
search of their horses, and at Peoria,
Ill.,, Mr.. Johnston was found. The
man vas arrested and held. A dis
patch from Peoria, ILL.,, on Jan. q,
says that 81 L., Dorsey, who to-
gether with w. T. Withers and b.
J. Treacy, was victimized by false
pretense of John c. Johnston, who
was arrested here last week, arrived
in the city this morning and found
that N. Shurtlife, citizen of Peoria,
had a bill of sale for the thirteen
horses Johnston had obtained from
him. 1t was given several days ago
for So, 900 cash. Withers and Trea~
cy are both here, snd have obtained
from Johnston orders for the return
of their horses. Treacy brought
with him requisition for Johnston
from the Governor OF Kentucky, and
he has gone to Springfield to get the
necessary papers from Gov. Cullum.
This afternoon Johnston procured a
writ of haJeaS corpus from Judge

being established that the Republi>

ted to the Democrats that they we're
of sufficient importance to justify the
theft. such as Bullock admits he
committed, we are at liberty in law
and good morals to attribute the
worst possible meaning to them
There is not a particle of doubt that
thew would show that five hundred
thousand dollars were raised i'll New

alone. Taken altogether, we do not
at all regret tho energy of the Tri-
bune in bringing to light the evil
dence of Democratic wrong-doing
Even if all thst it alleges be true, it
has killed but one man, while the
Democratic gun is loaded with grape

A CASH BUSINESS.

The idea of cash business is one
that ought to be more generally sdop
ted. The following suitable remarks
from an exchange is good
Some say that a cash business
cannot be done let us cite you in
stances where il is the basis of eve
nv transaction. How many persona
are there, who when they get freight
from the depot tell the agent to
charge itY And when you get on
the train, do you say to the con
ductor, ~ will pay you the last of
the week 7" You 60 to the tele,
graph Office and send message, and
ask the operator how much it is.
When the answer comes do you tell
him to wait day or months When
you attend a theatre or circus do
you remark to the agent, "As soon
ss sell my hogs I'll fix this r. A
farmer takes load of potatoes t.
market; after it is unloaded he is
not in the habit of hearing the deal
er say, "Just charge it; III pay you
in a day or two" The farmer ex
poets cash for his produce, and il is
right he should have pay for it. Cash
is required in mailing letters. They
e only three cents, but we don't
ask the postmaster to charge it
Readers, please remember these
things when about to say cash bust
ness cannot be done.

We are glad TO be able to give our
approval to Mr.. Hills position with
regard to so called loyal southern
war claims In a speech recently
delivered in the United Estates Sens
ate, he expressed himself as being
opposed to the payment of all war
claims of every description, except
a few in favor of religious, charitable
and educational establishments. The
southern people are too poor, even 1t
so inclined, to pay southern unionist'
or northern unionists for property
Lost during the war. And even
when the claims are held by south.
ern confederates, it is better that the
few should suffer, than that the many
should be taxed to pay for their los
SEES, especially as the payment OF
such meritorivus claims would be
treated as precedent for the salts
faction Of the thousands of fraudulent
unionist claims that would be sure
to be set up. Our wisest policy is
TO follow the divine injunction to
Lot and his wife, and not look back
upon the past, its scenes of blood and
fire, its bitter sufferings and terrible
losses. Let us the rather set our
faces manfully forward, and press on
tow wards the promised land of the
future.

We see it stated by some of our
exchanges, that the condition of
u. 4 Senator, Gen. Wade Hampton,
Of 5. c., is not as favorable as it has
been. His friends say the prospects
are that another amputation will
have to be made, as the bone of the
leg protrudes nearly three inches
from the p int at which it vas for
merIy removed, We trust the re-
ports are exaggerated and that the
old hero may soon recover.

THE GREAT PENSION sw1NDLE.

THE GREAT PENSlON SWANOHS'
Congress has passed a bill and tho
President has signed it, to pay what
are designated as arrearages due on
unionis, pension claims, and another
bill has been introduced to apProPrl
ate one hundred millions of dollars
20 paw these arrearsges, many OF
which are fraudulent and destitute OF
III merit. One hundred millions OF
dollars f! Just think of that ye hoary-
headed sons and daughters of toll =
All this money is to be raised by
taxes, and the poor men and women
of the South will be required to pay
their share of the frightful sum-
And not one true man woman or
orphan in all the South will receive
Que dollar under the bill. Congress
has even refused to pay the few re.
manning survivors of the Creek, In
dian aud Mexican wars, the pension
granted them by previous Congresses
before the war. Pensions and claims
due to northern people, however dis
honest are held to be proper and
pay able, even if the bankruptcy OF
the government should be the result
bu, the people of the South in this
particular are treated as aliens, and
their rights disrsgarded as unworthy
of consideration.
BY the way, we have never seen
the vote upon the passage OF the
pension bill. VIII not some OF our
daily contemporaries publish it. The
people would like to know how their
representatives voted on bill to
take one hundred millions Of hard
earned money out of their pockets
to- put it into the pockets of the mer
who fired our homes and desolated
our fields.

WHAT BEFELL A DRUNKEN TUR-
KEY.
Bangor (Ms.) Wing, January ID.

Bangor (Me.) Wing, January H.
A G!eDburn farmer came into the
city recently and among other things
purchased some rice and a pint OF
whiskey. Fearing that the bottle
might get broken on the way home
placed i. in the box containing the
rice. When he reached home and
took the box from the pung he found
that the stopple had got out OF the
bottle and rice and whiskey were
thoroughly mixed. He dumped the
contents Of the box behind the barn,
and 10 a short time . huge turkey
came along, and, as he was not as
particular as the farmer, gobbled up
the medicated rice. Shortly after
this the farmer was greatly surprised
to find the turkey lying out behind
the barn dead as a door nail, and
vowing vengeance on the man who
sold him whiskey rank enough to Kill
turkey, he carried the bird 10
the house. The farmer was 500 n
after seen carrying the naked bird -
as every feather was gone with the
exception of The wings and tail out
behind the stable, where he left it
on the snow The next morning,
when he entered the stable, it being
hardly light, he detected what he
thought was the ghost of that intem
perate turkey, aud could almost fe Il
his hair rise; but he made up his
mind t. investigate the matter and
boldly advanced. Imagine his sur
prise, Oh getting nearer, to discover
the bird shivering on the roost and
looking at him with reproachful ey es
for having stolen his clothes while
helplessly drunk. At last accounts
the turkey was doing as we'll as could
be expected during this zero wealth :
