A busy man at Columbus, Ohio,
keeps a photograph ready for use in
his office, and, when anybody begins
to tell him long story, he says, "Just
talk it into the instrument, and I'll
listen to it by and by"
A large number of our people went
to the Shiloh camp-meeting last Sun
day. We learn that a great crowd
was present, and that the attention to
the preachers was unusually good.
We are glad to note this fact.
We present our readers this week,
in the form of a supplement, some
unanswerable arguments in favor of
the 5O-4 compromise. Read and
hand to your neigbbor. 1t is good
reading, and will effect great good.
Considerable excitement was crea-
ted on Saturday last by the running
away of Mr.. Geo. Coles horses with
his wagon. They ran considerable
distance on Main street, but were luck
lily brought up before doing any DAM
age.
A vehement opposer Of the COM
promise, residing not one hundred
miles from this town, has been writ
ing postal cards to the sheriffs of a
number of counties, asking how their
several counties will vote on the ques-
ton. A response from Madison
county is Saltwater" Let it come
to the front.
We heard leyel-headed old coun-
try gentleman, the other day, make
the soundeSt and most unanswerable
speech in favor of the compromise yet
listened to. Sand he, "to cut down
debt one half, and then give you
thirty years to pay the other half,
with a low rate of interest, is bound
to be just" This is the truth in a
nutshell.
A difficulty occurred here on last
Saturday between conductor on one
of the Central trains named Palmer,
and a former employee Of the L. q N.
r. r., whose name was Reno. The
latter received quite an ugly wound
in the head, caused by coupling pin
thrown by Palmer. The wound was
dresseI by DIR Bledsoe. and Reno left
for his home in Paris.
On Sunday last as Nr r. Y. Moore
and family were on their way to the
Camp Ground in their two mule We
hicle, the animals became frightened
at the close proximity of an engine,
and one of the mules caught his hoof
in the crossing. A strong arm was
close at hand, and the family vacated
the wagon in quick time, having only
received big saare. The mule was
slightly damaged in the foot.
The jackson Tribune q Sun says
The Milan shooting club was afraid of
being beaten, and therefore, crawfsh-
ed. The apology was satisfactory to
the members of the jackson club and
why the I. d S. should pout over it is
astonishing. On the day appointed
for the match, Milan was in fever of
excitement from distressing news re-
ceived. Trains crowded with excited
refugees were coming from Memphis
and our people were in no frame of
mind for any such sport. Hold your
breath neighbor until the fearful
scourge abates and then if you are
"spilin" for a match you can get one.

Sitting Bull plays upon the super
stitions of the Sioux tribes, according
to the Chicago Tribune's correspond
ent, making them believe that he pos
sesses superhuman power. Ills
dreams are interpreted by his brother
in law, and are treated as revelations
from the Great Spirit. His influence
over the Indians of Dakota is aim ost
absolute.

Mr.. TERENCE o'TooLE OBJECTS TO OUR EDI-

To THE Eprron THE HEnALD:-
Yell pardon IL call ye to orther for yer fling in
todays paper at the family of the OTooles II Is
for the likes of you to ut the likes Of me- ut
any of the Oreoes. for want ye to ontherstand
that while you have been devoting yer time to the
selfish purpose of building up newspaper to fill yer
pockets, the family of the OTooles. thrue to the
royal blood flowing in their veins. have been laborng
in the public interest. carrying their patriotism
far to the people--blcss their sows in any
way convaynient, aither policeman. inspector
of dumps niimber of the Common Council nc the
city HAIL. which last ofhs yer humble servant has
had the honor to fll wild cridit to mesef and profit
to the boys who stood by me.
During me public career many's the night mesclf,
Tom Dunlap, Tim Campbell ami Msther Kelly lost
our sleep and went home wild headache, aither
ransacking our brains for good city government
which We in patriotic spirit desired to give the on
grateful people OF this city and little ~ the thanks
got Tor it. II is thrue that Tim is judge.
and divil the finer Judge or certain things iver
year for furnishing Tim wild jurics; and that
Misthcr Kelly gets $4,000 year to attend to the
business OF paying Tim and Tom and the rest of the
boys their little sauries; and it is also that
have, in the public interest decinded the PIN
nacle Of Councilmanic chair to tho mudholc OF an
inspector OF dumps. But Is this any reward for the
services wo render?
Now word to the decision of Judge Barrett.
which suggested yer attack on the 0'Toolcs. The
Judge is entirely mistaken when he says that the
spirit of the Tamminy bylaws violated by pub
fishing the notice Of meeting OF the society Ia the
Mercantile Journal short OF the fosce Gdseiis there's
not paper that would give wider publicity to such
a notice 10 the boys OF Tanminy than that same
Mercantile Journal. Why. bless yer sowL Of the
1000 Numbers of the committee there ara 500 who
are merchants in the same line of business and like
enterprisng men that they are, they stand behind
their own cohnters and dale out samples of their
goods to customers at all hours of the day and night
and to show their faith in their quality they now
and then take little OF the same themselves. SO
you see, Msthcr Editor, both yourself and Judge
Barrett have done the family Of the OTooles and the
Tamminy Society great injustice. which one of
these days ye may both live to repnt IL either of ye
liver come knocking ut my door tor Office. Yours,
truly, TERENCE O'TOOLE ex-Councilman.
