So, democrats, 'forewarned, forearm.
ed" Are you ready to desert your par
ty, forsake your faith, abandon your
principles, stultify yourselves, trample
under feet the teachings of your fathers
and 60 over to the party of hate and
enmity, jealousy and prescription,
wrong and oppression, Capitalization
and imperialism?
Has your love for free government,
your regard for constitutional liberty. as
expounded by Jefferson, Madison, and
the founders of the Republic been blot
ted out?
Are not the principles for which you
fought four years ago as dear to your
hearts as when you were rending the
air with your huzzas and shouting your
selves hoarse over the victory you had
achieved?
Are you ready, democrats, to forget
the glories of the past, its sacrifices and
its memories, and by your voices aid in
foistlng upon the people for the third
time man under whose orders your
barns were burned, your homes desolat.
ed and your fair Valley laid waste until
"a crow flying over it had to carry his
own rations ?"
We will see. We will never believe
it until we do see Rockingham Reg
lister.

LOVE VI. LAW.

have dined; and now, reposing.
Clad In 'seglige attire.
Quite contented, almost doing,
In my arm chair by the fire,
must think DER nay Grafton
For tom orrow morn in court;
Smoking aids my cogitation.
Moistened by glass OF port.
Let me SEGA common jury;
I can work on them know,
By storm of verbal fury,
That shall-yes, she told me so;
Told me that she loved me dearly,
Meath the nightingale's sweet song
Gentlemen, the case is clearly
One of cruel, heartless wrong.
Damages you'll give my client.
Damages!-What bliss was mine,
As, around her figure plant.
She allowed my arm to twine!-
Gentlemen, this tale of sorrow
Must have filled your hearts with pain,
Hearts that scorn so vile-To-morrow
shall see my pet again
Gentlemen, the case is simple:
By your verdict you will say
Cupid rests within each dimple,
Till kiss the rogue away,
= &
Love and Law together vicing,
Love has knocked Law on the head,
Hang this stupid speechifying!
Twill think it out in bed.

THE MODERN SAM PATCH.

THE MUDERN CAM FATCH.
On Sunday, the 18th inst, at Nun
louisville, KY, Thos. Boyd, clock
tinker and native of Belfast, Ireland,
in the presence of hundreds of specta
tors, jumped head-foremost from the
railroad bridge, at height of 125 feet
into Green river, and escaped without
injury. He is the same man that jump
ed off the Ohio Falls bridge, but this is
at least thirty feet higher, and is decid-
eddy the highest jump and the most dar.
ing feat of the kind ever performed in
America. Saturday he proposed to jump
off the railroad bridge at Bowling Green.

TURNING THE QUEsTIoN.-Dr. Ly-
man Beecher was once examined before
a theological council, and test ques-
ton was put Are you willing to be
damned for the glory OF God 2 which
he declined to answer in the afiirma-
tive. Then arose hair splitting and
heated discussion, till at length Beecher
struck fair compromise ground by de-
claring that if the Devine Will decreed
the damnation of the whole council it
would meet with his entire acquiescence.

Speaking Of General Grants recen,
adoption OF the rule Of total abstinence
We are reminded Of an anecdote OF the
war. II will be remembered that In
those times stories were started by the
fire-in- the-rear assailants and critics Of
the war and Its generals, that General
Grant was drinking to excess. These
stories were so often repeated both dur
Ing aud after the war, that the public
generally came 10 believe them, while
the fact Is they we're false. General
Grant was by no means tee-totaler In
those days, but neither was be intem'
perate. The anecdote ID this
Colonel T. Lyle Dicksy, (now one Of
the Judges OF the Supreme Court OF
Illinois) was Chief Of Cavalry on Gen
eral Grants staff during the siege OF
vicksburg and the Yves. Tennessee
campaign preceding the event. 10
October, 1862, he was sent to Washing
ton on an important mission, and one
day, while he and other officers were
in conference with President Lincoln,
Grants name came up, when an officer
Of the Potomac army Of high rank de-
clared that the General was IN the hab-
1t of getting drunk. Colonel Dickey,
indignant at the SANDER, sharply re-
marked
"Mr. President, II II Is true that
General Grant gets drunk, think the
wisest thing the War Department
could do would b. to find out what
kind Of whiskey he drinks, and get
some of our other generals drunk on the
same kind Of liquor"
Colonel Dicksy intended this rejoin'
der as a home thrust at the command
ers Of the Army Of the Potomac, which
had been passing through q series
Of misfortunes for want Of able general
ship.
Mr.. Lincoln afterwards repeated this
anecdote Of Colonel Dickey to some
friends, and 1t finally crspt into the
newspapers in this form; "The Presi-
dent speaking Of the report that Gen.
Grant was frequently under the infiu-
sncs of whiskey, told some Of the
officers OF the Army Of the Potomac that
they had better find out what kind Of
whiskey 1t was that Grant drank, and
get some OF it."
The true version, and the real author
Of the aneodote, are as We have stated

The severe weather which has pre-
vailed throughout Germany during the
present season has demonstrated still
further, If further demonstration was
needed, the advantages of underground
telegraph wires. The violet storms OF
wind and snow that have lately &C.
Cured there, in many instances caused
a total cessation Of all telegraphic COM
munication between cities connected by
overgrouud wires. On the other hand
wherever underground wires were laid,
traffic was continued without Interrupt
ton or inconvenience CT auy kind
whatever. This fact will no doubt
lead to the extension of the under

A He0 Farm

The Canadian "Farmer" pronounces
the bee farm of d. A. Jones, near Bos-
ton, Ontario, the most extensive and
successful in the country. 1t consists
of four bee yards, each covering about
an sore of ground, carefully enclosed,
and contains, besides the hives and
summer storerooms, house Cor win
tering the bees. The hives used are
oblong pine boxes with cubit capacity
of 3,240 inches, the inside measure
being l5xlSx12. Mr.. jones' four bee
yards contain $50, $50, $50, and 70
Of such hives respectively, and he
reckons 10000 bees a good swarm for
one of them. At the end Of July Mr..
Jones had secured $4,000 pounds Of
honey from $50 stocks of bees. He
expects total yield for the year OF
70, 200 pounds of honey from his 49,
900, 900 little workers, in which case
he would net between $1,000 and $l0.-
600 for the years product, without
taking account of the sale Of swarms or
of queen bees.

Tho Contest In Ohio for senator
Thurman's Seat.

A Columbus (ohio) special to the
Cincinnati "Euquirer," says that the
active workers at the State Capital for
General Garfield as successor to Ssna-
tor Thurman, claim for him seventy
out Of the ninety Republicans who will
20 into caucus. They are confident OF
his nomination on the first ballot, and
Mr.. Garfield himself is reported as say
ing II he is not nominated on the first
ballot he will withdraw In favor Of Mr..
Matthews. The latter is generally &C.
knowledged as second in strength, as
he Ia the second choice of many Of Mr..
Garaeld's supporters. No figures are
given by Mr.. Matthew'S partisans be-
yond eight from the Hamilton county
delegation. They claim, however, that
he has developed strength and Mr..
Garfield will not have the walk-over his
friends expect. The organizers for
Judge Taft count up eleven on the first
ballot for their favorite, with hopes OF
more and they do not acknowledge Mr..
Garfield's nomination fvrgone conclu-
sien. Ex-Governor Dennison's strength
chiefly consists Ia his being the second
choice OF some Of Mr.. Gar6eld's supper
ters.
