GENERAL GRANTS apt comparison of the

now receiving a pertinent Interpretation.
In getting control of both Houses of Con.
gress the Democrats became possessed of
the pail he talked Of and at least score of
them have already succeeded in getting
their feet into it. II remains to be seen
how much farther the facts will bear out
this rather homey illustration, and how
long it will be before the Bourbons will tip
the bucket over and spill its contents.

The Democrats are very much ayerse to
having soldiers around or near the polls on
election days. Now let the Republicans
propose a law that no armed men-be they
militia, rifle clubs or shotgun rangers
shall be allowed TO come within two miles
of any voting precinct pending an election.
The soldiers of the United States army have
never interlered with the voters except un-
der violations of the public peace, while
rifle clubs and shotgun organizations have
surrounded the polls and have even driven
the legal voters away therefrom in the in
tercst of the Democratic party. Repeated
instances OF this kind have been cited in
Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina,
and show clearly that organized companies
of armed citizens are far more dangerous TO
the rights of citizenship during our elec-
tions than the presence of United States
troops which is called bayonet rule, upon
such occasions. Let a law be passed or

Relief of Captain Payne.
1or. New York Herald.l

Cor, New York HeraId.l
Captain Dodge's feat appears more
admirable the more it is dwelt upon
by everybody except the modest cap
tain. A soldier with Payne thus
speaks of the arrival of Dodge and
his colored company:
81" We were getting pretty id tired
about that time. 1t was the third
morning after we were corraled, and,
of course, we didn't know whether
any of our messengers sent out from
camp had struck help or not. Sud
denly that morning in the dusk we
heard noise. Even by that time
some of us had begun to fear that the
Indians would charge us, and we all
then supposed it might be Indians.
If it hadn't been for the voice of
John Gordon, the scout, who was
riding in the advance, we might have
poured in volley at them but you
bet your life there wasn't no volley
except cheers when Gordon rode in
with five or six darkies alongside Of
him. Pretty soon he told US what
was up and what to expect, and when
Captain Dodge came up at canter,
leading the rest OF his men, we didn't
take much account, to wonder little
at the color Of their faces. 1t was
the greatest marvel to me and all Of
us at this minute that the Utes di Int
pour in heavy fire when they heard
US cheer. We forgot all about the
danger of exposing ourselves, and
leaped up out of the pits to shake
hands all around. Why" continued
this soldier, with curious naviete,
. we took those darkies in right along
with us in the pits. We let EN- sleep
with us, and they took their knives
and cut off slips of bacon from the
same sides as we did"
That's so, exclaimed another
trooper, "and one darky has got a
knife with dent in it that was made
/ by Ute bullet when he was reaching
up TO carve slice off of the hog for
tiGcation in front of my trench.
Another cayalryman said; You

terms of natural pride:

ELmIRA, N. Y, October 1s.-The

ACT PRUDENTLY.

In view of the fact that the weather
may again turn warm, and also that
the temperature has not yet descend
ed below 380, it would be well for all
returned refugees to be very cautious
as to the way they expose themselves
to infected places or carelessly venti-
lated rooms. All houses should be
opened to the night air, and before
being occupied it would be well to let
another polar blast circulate through
them. Families Of women and chill
dren away from the city should re-
main away for a short time longer
rather than expose themselves to the
danger of sickness, now the time is so
close for a general freeze. There is
nothing improper in business men en-
tering the city and opening out their
places of business. because they are
the larger portion of the time in the
pure open air. 1t is not SO, however,
with women and children. They re-
main indoors day and night, and
whenever it is the least bit chilly
crowd around a warm CRATE or stove,
and doubtless many will do this be-
fore a frosty air is permitted to circu-
late through their houses. Everyone
is admonished to act with prudence,
1t is better to stay away a month
longer, than it is to come home and
have the fever this late in the season,
for nearly all recently taken have
either died or made a narrow escape
from doing SO.

lay that the Utes did not fire on us as
we went in and shoot us all to pieces.
But with an amusing GRIM it was
early in the morning, and l expect
they were deceived by the color of our
compilations. At any rate we got in
and there we stuck. Afterward we
had to 60 out and make trenches for
ourselves under a heavy fire. While
we were digging, and when we got
about an inch below ground, the Reds
saw the outlines of the new trench in
the early dawn, and made it so hot
that we were glad to hop out behind
some wagons and wait till we got an
other show. The water" continued
the sergeant" was the hardest thing
to get of all. Some call it 200 yards
to that water some more, some less !;

A man enters a barher-shop, divests
himself of coat, hat and collar, lolls
into an ungraceful attitude, but is

house is open to the public gaze while
he is being lathered and sheared.

glances uneasily around to see if the
door is hedged by evergreens, and the
windows all closed by blinds. No
doubt our readers have noticed these
singular phenomena.
