A LATE correspondence from Milton
Junction says: We hear of a few sales
of this years broad leaf at prices ranging
from 81 to 10 cents per pound This
crop will hardly be in the market before
the first of January, although some of it
may move if the weather continues to be
favorable. Cincinnati advices show sales
there last week of twenty cases of Wiscon-
sin tobacco at prices ranging from 1926
to $11.75, according to quality and con-
dition The old crop is about all sold
and fair prices may be expected for this
years crop that is not already sold.

tell you the soldiers do things with the
prisoners or the dead as horrible as anv
Indian could think of. Then you, people

men met an Indian with basket of pota-
toes. One Of them said that he would
like to have it to say when he went back
to the East that he had shot an Indian.
The other dared HIM to shoot this one.
He drew a revolver and shot him. The
Indian was an Omaha Oh, tell you if

MIR. O'Flaherty's Diamonds.

Fortune, never tired of favorlng the
Irish, has bestowed upon them another
distinction. In the hands of one of their
race is at last the largest diamond. One
Mr.. O'Flaherty has found, we arc told,
at the Cape Fields, no tiny gem, but q
huge mass of brightness weighing $50
carats, and promising to be very mine
Of wealth. The largest ever known b.
fore. when cut, proved only to weigh
113 1-2 carats; the Kohlnoor did boast of
more than two-thirds that weight; and
yet an 1rishman, whose claim is, it seems.
in the very middle of the diamond mud,
has quietly lifted this large and brilliant
stone from the earth and taken it down
to the Cape. He Is said now to have
three courses open to him. He can dis
pose of 1t at once to spectators OH the
spot, or, bringing it to England, he can
sell it to be cut; or he may have it cut at
his own expense, and take his chance Ut
a colossal fortune or comparatively little.
Mr.. Flaherty has clearly cause to consid-
er before consigning his brilliant to the
diamond cutters of Holland.

THE CLOSING DAYS.

Brief grow the waning days; the poplars shed
Their serr1ed showers of crimson DER the path
And gathering swallows, on the river brink
Iwit their departing notes. The dusky bats
Begin to congregate beneath the caves,
Dreaming of Winter sleep; the lazy pike
In the last warmth of Summer.
- On the elme,
The speckled starlings gathering, loud hold
A noisy council; and the blue. barred Jaws.
White: banded mag pies, and spruce jackdaws
join
To swell the clamorous chorus.
On the bank,
The warm South bank-purple shine forth the
bells
OF Autumn violets, last lingerers
When gone, the flowers of Summer! So oft
shines
A virtuous life, unrecognized, unknown,
BY censOrious world!
Close in, the days,
With gray, yet golden twilight; Winter comes
Comes on apace, and his e-shrouding
SHOWS
Again shall shortly veil the slumbering Earth.

The Case Briefly Stated.


There are about fifty United States
marshals in the country, every one Of
whom is a republican Of some sort, Each
OF them employs several deputies all the
year round. On great occasions, when
members of congress and presidential
electors are to be chosen, and the success
OF the republican party makes it necessary
20 iaisify registration lists, stuff ballot
boxes, aud iDprison democratic voters.
the marshals are in the habit of appoint-
ing large number of special deputies to
perform this reprehensible service. This
was not the practice in the old days,
while Jackson, Clay, Webster and Benton
we're among US; but it is the custom
now, when We are under the rule of a
fraudulent president.
Congress passed bill to pay the sala,
ries of the United State marshals and of
"A sufficient number of deputies to dis.
charge the regular duties of their offices.
The bill contained section which. if
fairly construed, would prevent the ex-
penditure OF money for the employment
ct special deputies To perform The neiari-
Gus acts we have mentioned. or, in other
words, to commit political crimes and
misdemeanOrs. The fraudulent president
has vetoed this bill, and the marshals are
out of money.
This is the whole case. Now let us see
what the country thinks OF it.
