Thousands of Republicans. tired of the
demagogueries and bitterness of Republi-
can leaders. disguised with the rotteness
of public affairs under Republican rule,
and weary of waiting for. and knowing the
hopelessness of any change for the better
under Republican rule. have left the party
of sectional hate. aand joined the Demo
eratic ranks to help bring about such
changes as are needed in our affairs-to
bring about better feeling between the
north and south, and restore the county
to that .condition of affairs which made
every Americsn proud to acknowledge his
nationality, Let US have change say the
people and their request will be granted
when, on November the voting occurs.

About the checklist thing yet developed
in this canvass is the letter of Gen.
Weaver coDgratulating Plaisted on his
election. Weaver went to Maine and
made speeches against Plaisted, rsally-or
what is the same thing. advised every
Greenbacker to avoid a fusion, even re-
fusing to be escorted to meeting where
Gen. Butler was to speak Ia favor of
PIaisted. Now. after Plaisted is elected
and Weaver's efforts shown to have been
useless, be has the cheek TO congratulate
the man he tried to defeat Weaver is
the most flexible demagogue il the ooun-
try. It need not surprise anyone if he con-
graduates Hancock when the latter is
elected, as he will be. on the glorious
victory for our cause" Weaver is 9
cheeky ore to say the least.

There is no longer any doubt as to the
result In Novemb Der. if the Democrats will
continue to work as zealously as they have
thus far. The people are tired of the seq

They realize that the war is over: that
business can be improved all over the
country kif better feeling prevails in all
sections of the country. and knowing these
things propose to vote for Hancock and
Drlna about e change which will benefit
the whole country; restore fraternal feel

waiting for Navigation to Reopen,

A cruel joke was recently played in
9hicago upon special revenue agent,
yho had come up from Florida on a
special tour OF inspection through the
Marquette district Of Lake Superior.
He was exceedingly zenlous, and otlc-
Ing this fact practical joker cautious
ly told him that he could eyerl astingly
distinguish himself by ferreting out a
band of smugglers on Isle Royal, q
mineral knob which lifts ITSELF out of
the Northern central portion of Lake
superior, one hundred miles from any
where else. The agent accordingly
started forthwith, but took the last
boat Of the season to the island, SO
there he still remains, and will remain
until next June, when navigation re-
opens, enjoying as best he can tho
society OF the few Cornish miners and
indians who alone form the population.

Captured by Devils,

Three Cinnamon of street San Fran
cisco have been driving thriving busi-
hess OF late picking wild berries three
or 1our miles northeast Of the city, and
selling them in town. A few days
since, while they were In the black
berry region, one Of their number, An
hoy, got lost, and the other two, after
making considerable search, came home
without him. The next day Trey re-
turned In search, but, nothing was seen
or learned Of him till the third day,
when they found him sitting in the
shade OF a large tree, and apparently
obllvious to everything about him.
Upon going up to him and asking where
he had been, lie aroused from his
thoughtful mood, and said he had becn
there under the tree all tho time and had
plenty OF company; and lots Of people
had been with him all the time, and
brought him all he wanted of nice
things to eat. Thus aroused the SUPER
stltlous nature of those who had found
hlm, and they at once solved the mys-
terry by concluding that devils had
caught him In the bushes and had him
IN their control and keeping for the
three days, and fed him upon their
t)od. This was sufficient watchw ord
for those who had discovered his
Satanic Majesty was numerous in that
region and they made excellent time
In getting out with the victim and has
tening him to Chinatown. lie Is now
we'll, he says, but cannot account for
three days, only as he related when
they found him, ami the Celestials con-
tinue to look upon hl.n with much
caution, fearing there may be still
some devils lying around loose in his
clothes. The man was evidently over
come with heat and probably suffered
partial sunstroke, as similar expert
ences and imaginations are frequent
from that cause.

common origin with the walking stick ;
at least, we know The change Of habit,
and that most unaccountablc change of
fashion, have In our time worked some
curious results; the various materials
called Into uso are alone sufficient to

corks, with a stout wire passed through

sources to boast, as there are many
materials not large enough to make
whole sticks, such for instance as tho
teeth of the giraffe, the walrus, the
elephant; and, in fact, most large teeth,
and elk horns are useful for the pur.
pose. 1t ls n remarkable fact that wo.
