Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1880-03-31

Tiden's nephew touching the late effort to
make Tilden President that the present
Democratic Congress is disposed to pass a
law to more securely protect the secrecy of
the telegraph.
To make connection with o Pittsburg
train recently, Henry Ward Beecher was
brought on an engine from Reading to Har-
risburg in one hour and thirty minutes, in
cluding ten stops on the way. The number
of the engine was l75, Mark Beard was
engineer, and Harry Albright was con-
ductor.
The North american says: 1t seems to be
tolerably clear that the Greenback- Labor
party is convenient tool, intided to be
used, if possible. to defeat an election of
President by the people by carrying just
enough electora, votes TO throw the deci-
sion into the House of Representatives. 1t
remains to be seen whether such a scheme
can be made TO work. 1t is obviously
Democratic trick.
When the fire in forges went ont in
1873, the Democrats blamed it on the man
agement of a Republican National Admin
istration, but when the fire was rekinded
in forges in 1879 and in 1880, they failed to
credit or blame that on Republican Ma
tional Administration. They blamed all the
business depression on the Republican Ad
ninistration, but they do not now credit
the Republican Administration with the re-
turning business boom.
The Democratic county committee of
Perry county, last week passed a resolution
that if the man who is nominated by the
Democratic National Convention is elected
President of the United States he shall be
inaugurated. No one will dispute such
plain fact as that Is, with the Democracy of
Perry, but everybody will wonder why in
the world the committee got up such a res
oiution. Many will say, it wasn't one beer,
or two beer, or three beer, but the work of
dozen beer. 4 little less beer.
The New York Daily Graphic few days
ago published a full length picture of Col.
A. X. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia Times,
and surrounded the picture, as if by a
frame, with an article under the head of
''Men Who Make Public Opinion" The ar
ticle was from the pen of Gath, and was, or

An amateur fisherman says that where
ever fish are spawned they viii return to, if
no obstruction in the stream prevents them.
OF course that relates 10 such fish that in
the spring-time go to the head-waters of
the streams and in the fall swim down to the
sea. The same authority, Oh the occasion of
the putting Of number of salmon into
the river from a can in which they had
been brought from a fish-hatching house,
says that next fall the salmon will go down
stream, but the following year they will
come back TO where they were put into
the stream. Another fisherman raises the
question as 20 what the fish will do when it
gets back to the place where it was put into
the river. He says it certainly cannot get
back to the spawning place, the hatching
house.
1t is amusing to hear men who have been
holding office time and again during their
lifetime, ard who still seek a prolongation
of their official career, by reelection, talk
about the third term principle. For in
stance, a man who has been in Congress
90 to the United States Senate, and from
there to the Presidency. For example, the
man who in local Offices has been a school
director three or four terms, and is all the
time looking out to get any local office that
comes in his way. 1t is indeed piece of
mental amusement to apply the third term
principle among the people who talk most
against it. There are a few opponents of
the third term who are not otfice-seekers,
but its loudest opponents are office-seekers
and office-holders, National, State and local.
An exchange publishes the following -
Under the arrears of pension act, all widows
of soldiers who died of wounds or disease,
resulting from their services, are entitled to
pension for the time they were widows.
women who had remarked and were cut
out by the old law, TO get the pension at S.
per month for each month of widowEood.
All children of soldiers who were under
sixteen years of age at the date of the SOL
dier's death, are entitled to pension up to
ths time they were sixteen. No matter at
what age they are, they can yet apply for
and get the pension up to the time they
were sixteen. The time for making appli-
cation 20 as tc get the back pension in all
cases is limited, and every person in all
cases is limited, and every person who is
entitled, be it soldier, widow, mother, father
or minor children, should lose no time in
making their applications, or they will be
too late.
ga NAN from the beautiful village of Buck
snort, Ark, was seen the other day splitting
blood, in Little Rock. A policeman ap-
preached, thinking he had hemorrhage,
and being told it was no such thing, began
to investigate, thinking there had been
fight. The BHcksnort man explained thus:
