Indiana Political Gossip.

Cincinnati aIette.l
Congressman Myers, Of the Sixth
Indiana district, says he has not be-
come accustomed to the defeat of his
party. Itwas a stunning surprise, but
now that it is over, he finds means to
account for it. Myers thinks Landers
was the most Objectionable man who
could have been selected. The nomi-
nation Of English was another blum
der. The snub TO De La Matyr, he
thinks cost the democratic party a
large portion of the greenback party.
Indiana congressman claim to have
correct information as to the sum con-
tributed by English to the campaign
fund. He at first pledged himself to
give 100000, but he paid just $27, 600,
and that only after the screws had
been several times applied. Mr.. Lam
ders, in like manner, before his nomi-
nation, said his business was worth
$4,000 net profit annually. He was
already rich enough be said, and
would, if nominated, pay $i0,C6O, or
one years profits Of his pork estab-
lishment. When afterward the COM
mittee assessed him $4,000 he object
ed. Then the sum was reduced to
$1,000. Landers paid $500, and his
brother, Jack Landers, paid the other
$500, and begged the committee 10
make no further assessments upon
Frank Landers.

pleasing to independent mines. We

abandon that species Of timidity.
In all other respects we have moth

The story Little Sister, by Mrs. f..
A. Meriwether, is written with all
that lady's usual vividness and force,
and is bound to interest all southern
readers. By the vay, we suggest to
the Southern Magazine that it would
do well to secure one of Mrs. Meri-
Wether's long stories as a serial-the
magazine could not better please its
readers. Mrs. Meriwether's success
as a st~ory-teller is acknowledged by
the highest critics, both of America
and England.

The sOuthera monthly Magazine.

Some months ago we saw the pros
pectus of this magazine, and heartily
approved Of the enterprise. Believ-
ing that the literature of a people
should be the outgrowth of that PEG
pies mentality, we were indeed re-
joiced at the prospect Of a medium for
the genius and talent Of the south.
More than forty years ago Poe, .
southern poet, and now admitted to
be one Of the first, if not the very first.
that America has ever produced, said
that southern authors had little
chance with northern publishers and
critics. Since the war northern pref
udice against southern writers has
been strongly intensified. 1t is a well
known fact that northern publishers
haFs Fefpsed southern works Of great
ability, frankly admitting the genius,
the pathos, the interest Of said works,
and as frankly avowing that they
would not publish, fearing the south
ern tone Of the work would offend
northern readers. This state Of feel
ing operating so ruinously against
southern literature, we hailed with
gladness the prospect Of a southern
magazine, and earnestly desired its
success. Yet, in reading its prospect
US, which promised so fair, we we're
struck with one paragraph which
awakened a fear that, after all, this
magazine might not in reality reflect
southern thought, but would result in
an attempt at imitation OF northern
magazines. The paragraph 10 which we
allude was this: I'VE ask for facts
when relating historical or personal
"reminiscences, but cannot allow the
interposition Of personal opinions that
may be offensive to our subscribers.
We long for a united south, but it
cannot be aided by Alleging partisan
opinions a place in our columns"
What this not very lucid statement
exactly means it may not be easy to
define. bid i mean to announce the
Intention Of excluding from a south
ern magazine any and every expression
OF political opinion that might offend
the one or two or two dozen northern
subscribers the magazine might han.
pen to get2 If so then in no true
sense will this magazine be southern.
10 elucidate this point we eagerly
seized and examined this initial nun
Der Of the Southern Magazine and
found nothing to lead us to suppose
its managers meant to cut and color
their articles 10 suit northern people
until we came to the ninety.Rfth
page There this short paragraph
struck Oui attention
"a question bordering on the for.
hidden ground is the following: How
will the recent great railroad combina-
ton and counter combination affect
the south in a financial yiew?"
Now right here as one Of the organs
OF the southern people, We would like
TO ask a magazine that processes par
excellence to be southern and for me
southern people, what good or sensible
reason can there be why that question
should not be asked and discussed?
Some Of the great magazines Of the
north are strongly partizan. Scribner
s bitterly partizan, so is Harper. The
North American Review will give
voice to both sides of political uues-
tions. Why then should q southern
magazine make such . parade aud

WHISKY AND SODA.
How an Old Preacher Lost His
COat-Tails.
Little Rock Gasetts.l

Little Rock Gazette.l
An amusing trial has just taken
Mace before a Little Rock magistrate.
The Rev. Mr.. Wiley, an old gentle
man who preached to his slaves be-
fore the war. and who, since the eman-
cination of slaves, has been engaged
in the work of reconstTucting white
sinners who were demAalized by the
rebellion, came to this city several
DAYS ago. He went into a timers
shop to buy a coffee-pot, aud alter
making the purchase, seated himself
on a bench. 1t was not INTENDED that
the bench should be used exclusively
as a settee. for on the edge was ar
ranged a long knife, used for cutting
sheet tin. Under the bench was a
kind of treadle, which, when pressed,
~operated the knife. The old gentle-
man wore a long tailed, brown jeans
frock coat, and IN inc pocket was a
bottle of whisky, in the other a pound
Of soda. Lifting his coat-tails, he
naturally showed them back. The
weight of the whisky drew them over
the edge of the bench, Immediately
under the knife.
"This is a curious business" he
said. maxim cOffee-pots and mendin'
bilers. If my wife was to come in
here the glitterin' of all this tinware
would make her squint. Well, ! be-
lieve I'll be %agein', Its gettin' along
towards the shank of the evenin'."
In attempting to get down the old
gentleman unconsciously pressed the
freadle. The knife descended and cut
off his coat-tails so close that bis coat
looked like a roundabout.
what the deyil-may the Lord
forgive me for using sucha word-but
still say, what the devil made you
cut off my coat-tails?'
The timer gathered up the rem
nants, that nothing might be wasted,
and explained to the old minister that
he himself was solely to blame, as he
had pressed the treadle.
That's a nice yarn. You put that
thing out there to ruin me Now,
you've got to pay for il"
He swore out a warrant and had the
timer summoned to appear before a
Justice of the peace. When the trial
came of. the OLD man related how he
had been deprived of bis c%oat-tails,
grew enthusiastic, and declared that
he had always heard that the devils
machine shop was in Little Rock, but
that he did not knew why be should
have been selected as a victim The
timer explained, and the justice,
much amused, asked:
what was in your coat tail

"A bottle Of whisky and a pound Of
sodal'
Don't you kno7 a minister Of the
gospel should not carry whisky in bis
pockets? Why did you have the
whisky, yhich you must acknowledge

"Wall, IN tell you. 1 got the
whisky tor communion purposes. It's
all right TO talk about wheat bread
and wine, but if you want to please
my congregation, you have to spread
out corn bread and whisky, and a
plenty of it"
Failing in his suit, the old mar de-
clares that be viii take it to a higher
court. avowing that be il too old to be
fooled with BY a machine put in oper'

A STUMBLE,
BY which IA Girl Wins q Rich
Husband.

Springfield Mass J Republican,
A pretty story is being told about
one Of Springdeld's pretty girls, a
round and losy" creature Of many
accomplishments. As the gossip runs,
she was hurrying TO take a train,
tripped, and so gracefully recovered
herself as to win the admiration Of a
very substantial looking old gentle
man. He assisted the young lady on
the train and to a seat beside himself
Conversation flowed pleasantly aud
acquaintance ripened fast. On part
ing at a station not many miles west
OF this city the couple exchanged ad-
dresses. The old gentleman proved
to be a wealthy Chicago merchant,
who opened a correspondence with
our heroine She apparently wrote as
agreeable as she talked. Letters
winged their way faster between the
city by the river and the city on the
lake. Then came a proposition-not
of marriage, but that the worthy son
Of the susceptible parent be admitted
to the correspondence. The father
gradually drew out Of the field and
the son more than made his place
good, Do you guess it2 Yes, in the
fullness of time, or rather in a very
little while, came an offer of marriage.
1t was accepted. Three souls are
happy, a brilliant wedding and luxu-
rious home are in prospect, and the
railroad officials have been greatly
puzzled Of late by the number OF
Springfield girls who come stumbling,
with more or less grace, aboard trains
bound for the great and glorious west.

The Post is in receipt Of a mass Of
inquiries touching the popular vote of
the recent election. The official data
is still lacking, and The Post can add
nothing to former statements namely,
that in thirty states the popular votes
give Garfield 3,9l4,5S6; Hancock,
3,733,290; Weaver. 265,512; Dow,
l0,9S9. The states not included are
such largely democratic states az South
Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Ii Is
safe to say hat a majority Of the popu-
lar vote is with Garfield; how much
will appear in due time. As o as
the returns shall have been completed
they will be given in detail by The
