"A fore and aft schooner, while lying
in harbor on the northern coast, ine'the
absence of the crew, was boarded by rats
in such number that they ate away all
her standing rigging, including head.
stays, and also the jibs, foresail and
mainsail. All were destroyed beyond
the possibility of repair.
The New Haven Register has this
to say of the political outlook in Connec-
ticut: "Accessions to Hancock are repor.
ted from all parts of the State. Scarcely
q town but reports numbers of former Re-
publicans who have determined to vote
tor Hancock. Unless all signs fail Con-
necticut will give Hancock and both En-
glishes 10000 majority"
= A snake two feet long had a lively
fight lately with chipmunk on the
banks of the Waikiki River. The snake
coiled around his antagonist several
times, but the little fellow slipped out of
the folds and turned again, biting the
snakes body. Soon the snake was un-
able to crawl, and the chipmunk killed it.

Company's works refuses to do service
after the bell sounds the hour of noon.
If he is hosting load be deliberately

= The heir of the Spanish throne will
be baptised in water from the river Jor-
dan, presented in bottle, for that pur.
pose, by NJ. Montilla, the Spanish Min
lister at Constantinople. A Madrid dis.

expected birth the Spanish government
will grant an amnesty to the Cuban in

(: "A paper devoted especially 10 the
interests of colored men and edited by
a colored man, is published at Mont
gomery, Ala. 1t thus disposes of the
Republican cry about intimidation and
fraud: "Fraud is the cry of the Repub-
! lican papers of the north about the
Democratic party of Alabama. Sing on
as much and as long as you please: we
colored men aided the Democracy in
rolling up the large majority; and don't
forget it, we are satisfied"
The good Deacon Richard Smith.
in his religious daily, the, Cincinnati Ga.
zette, says: every claim agent who rep.
resents the demands on the treasury for
losses sustained in the south during the
war is for Hancock and English" You
don't say so: Every carpet bagger who
: plundered the south under Grant, every
vender of post. traderships, every whiskey-
ring thief, every Wall.street gambler who
pays the agents of the government for
points," every contractor who helped
Robson and Shepherd to rob the treas.
ury is for Carried. And Carried is as big
specuator as any of them. Are not
these things so, deacon ?-Boston Glo5e.
- Persons arriving at Louisville from
Cave City, KY, report that two stages
which run between that town and the
Mammoth Cave were stopped by high
waymen last Friday night and all the
passengers robbed. The stage to the cave
was the first attacked, about four miles
east of Cave City, and the one passenger
on board was robbed. The coach coming
the other way was shortly afterwards met
by two men on horseback, heavily armed,
who ordered the driver to stop. They
then compelled all the passengers to get
out and stand in line, and ordered them
at pistols point to give up all their prop
erty. The travellere were unable to re-
sist successfully, so they had to deliver
up their valuables. The robbers took
possession of all their money, jewelry
and watches, aggregating in value about
twelve hundred dollars. After the ex-
plot they made the victims take drink
of whiskey with them and rode off. The
greatest excitement prevails in the neigh
borhood where the daring crimes were
committed.
= Talk about bulldozing voters in the
South. New England is far in advance of
the South in that department of rascality.
Read what the New Haven (Connecticut)
Register has to say upon the subject: "In-
telligence comes from different parts of
the state that the Republicans have al.
ready begun systematic scheme of
intimidation of Democratic voters. Com
mittees have been appointed to 20
through factories and demand that Dem
ocrats employed in Republican establish
ments shall sign paper to vote for Gar.
field and the Republican ticket. If they
refuse they take the risk of being thrown
out of employment. This scheme is an
outrage upon the right of free suffrage,
and deserves the condemnation of all
honest men. But it will not succeed in
staving off a disastrous defeat of the Re-
publican party. Many men may be CO.
creed to violate their political principles,
but there will be enough who can not be
intimidated who will vote the Democratic
ticket and ensure its success. In Menden
the Republicans have become so alarmed
at the detection of former Republicans to
Hancock that committee of FIVE has
been appointed for each ward to look up
these Hancock Republicans and to at
tempt to bully them back into the Re.
publican ranks. 1t won't do, Messrs.
Republicans !! The tide for Hancock is
too strong and the Republican party can
not save itself from defeat either by coax
ing, bullying, or corrupt use of money.
Democrats should watch these Republi.
can tricks and promptly expose the men
who are engaged in this nefarious work"
"A dog in New Mexico, returning
one evening with his sheep to the fold,
discovered that his master was still in
his shanty, and kept very quiet The
next evening it was the same. But after
penning up the sheep the dog smelled
about the door, scratched, barked, and
even howled, as he was getting very hun
cry, but his master did not move. The
dog, true to his appointed duty, went out
with the sheep on the third day, but that
night when he drove the flock into their
