THE BALL Is RoILING.-The good work daily
goes forward in Congress Of making solid North
Those Rebel Brigadiers have no sense or policy
about them. They find themselves in power, and
cannot suppress their natural instincts. Every
time one of them opens his month, he makes
Republican votes Blackburn, of Kentucky, de-
clared that they would not stop until they had
torn every vistige of war legislation from the
statute books Beck, of Kentucky said they
would carry their point, if they had to starve
the Government, and stop its machinery. In
short, they are determined to destroy the results
of the war, and accomplish the objects of the re-
bellion, and not Northern Democrat in Con-
gress has the back bone to take issue with them.
But even these men see the inevitable result of
their course. Blackburn has undertaken to al
ter his speech for publication in the Record, but
has left it in as bad shape as before. Some of
the Democratic papers of the North are making
feeble effort to prove that the editor of the
crazy rebel sheet at 0kalona, Mississippi, is a
Northern carpet-bagger, hired by the Republi-
cans to keep up strife; but they are making poor
headway at it. The hand writing is on the wall.

the shine over everything that has yet been is
sued-being larger and handsomer than the
Guides issued by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Road. The illustrations are very fine, and
represent the grandest and most picturesque
scenery. The routes to Leadville, and map of
that region, are prominent features of the work.
As an immigration document, it is unexcelled.

pulous demagogue, without principle, and who
would sell out the Republican party, whenever
his advantage lay in that direction. We were
then innocent and unsophisticated, and too con-
scientious to look out for Number One, even
when it could have been done by acting from
policy. A personal visit from Lane, several
years before the events here spoken of, and sew
eral interviews afterwards, had not softened our
heart. We may mention, in explanation of
things.hereinafter stated, that the only time we
were ever an applicant for public Office, was
when Lincoln first became President. We were
a candidate for the Iowa and Sac Indian Agency,
and imagined that devoted aud poorly requited
labor in the Republican cause would gain it for
us. We even had the promise Of Mr.. Dole, the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs but there was
. higher power than Dole. Another applicant
was man whose services to the party had con-
sisted in voting the ticket, Whenever it was
convenient for him to attend the election, but
whose business was sharp trading and jockeying,
and skinniug strangers with paper town shares.
But this man was brother-in-law of the new
Lieutenant-G Governor Of Indiana, Oliver P. Nor
ton, just then on his upward way to fame and
Morton was townsman and intimate ffiend of
Caleb B. Smith, the new Secretary of the Iute-
rior. II is hardly necessary to say that we did
not get to be Indian Agent, and our aspirations
for Office cooled Of then and there. But Lane
knew we had been candidate for the place. He
never forgot such little things, but kept them
stored up, for future emergencies.
Nov, to the narrative. Some time after the
Legislative election of 1862, when members of
the House were chosen-we cannot name the
precise date, but know that it was somewhere
between the 25th of November and the middle

This is from the Laplata Press, Mis-
siouri, the home OF Capt. Voolfolk, of
the Transfer: ''Joe Forsythe arrived
here yesterday from Milan, Sullivan
Co.. He reports the heaviest rain and
hail storm we ever heard Of as having
visited that place on Tuesday night.
Evidently a waterspout bursted over
the town, as in a few minutes the water
in the fair grounds vas waist deep and
a little creek near by was swollen until
1t was a quarter of a mile in width. The
county fair was to have commenced
next day, and many a stockman on the
grounds bareley escaped with their
stock. Hail fell to the depth of two
feet on a level, and in ravines 1t drifted
to a depth of six feet. Hogs weighing
$50 pounds were killed outright, while
one farmer reported over 100 rabbits
killed on his farm by the stones. Corn
stocks in the fields were denuded of their
blades and a general look of destruction
was apparent in the wake of the storm."

confident that the ire-proof vaults would

had it not been for the explosion of
powder at Lakes store, which shook
the foundation timbers out of place.
and 1t fell a burning mass. There was
600 pounds OF. powder placed there the
night before the FIRE occurred, and the
flames Travelled with such rapidity that
1t was impossible for the few persons
who were aware of that fact, to try to
remove it. As the flames approached
the building where 1t was stored, the
cry was passed along the line to get
away, and as the thousands of faces
appeared along the mountain sides like
a vast audience In a gigantic amphi-
theater, waiting and watching for the
explosion, it was a sight that will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed it.
When the explosion took place it SEEM
ed as IL the gods of thunder and of
earthquakes had collided; the air was
literally filed with burning fragments
from the wrecked stores. Despairing
men had to stand and look down at
their hard-earned property melting
before their eyes, without being able to
do a thing to save it, while the shrieks
Of helpless and half. clothed women and
children were pitiable. Buildings are
being erected again as if by magic, and
the structures that are going up are far
superior to those that have been de-
stroyed.

The Pedestrian Belt.

- Inc Bel.
For the recent pedestrian display In
New York Charles Rowell will receive
about S25, 700; Samuel Merritt, 80, 500;
George Hazael, $3.50; Frank Hart,
50, 750; George Guyon, of Chicago, So
750; Weston, 81, 750; Ennis, 1000; and
Krohne, $500. Rowell walked lis hours
and 40 minutes, which made his aver
age mile 10 minutes, and 6 seconds
Merritt walked III hours and "a Sc
conds, his average mile was 10 minutes
and 30 seconds; while Hazael walked 90
hours and A seconds, and made his
average mile the lowest of any, being
IL minutes and 4S seconds.
The following is a description of the
belt for which the pedestrians contend
| ed:
The belt was presented in March, 49,
70, by Sir John Ashley, the great patron
OF sports in England. 1t consists of a
heavy chain Of eight links or plates, one
OF solid gold and seven of solid sterling
silver, fastened to each other by hinges
and silver bars, and fastened under
meath to the real belt, which is of red
leather. The total weight of the orna-
ment is not far from five pounds; SO
that, however desirable the possession
of it may be, no pedestrian would wear
it while at work. The central link is
the golden one; it is.irregularly elliptic
al in shape and is surrounded with a
fancifully cut border in scroll patterns.
In the center of the link or plate is the
inscription: Long Distance Cham
pion of the World" The seven silver
links are uniform in shape and size, be-
ing oblong in shape and about three
inches by four and a half in size. On
the two next in place to the golden link
are raised figures in bas relief, the fig
ure on n being that of runner and
on the other that of a walker. These
figures are carefully finished, and the
background of the links are engraved
with very sketchy landscapes. The
winners Of the belt in contests are as
follows:
