We tender our condo1cnc,

We tender our coincidence
to the parents-Mr. and Mrs.
d. II. Jones, residing on Thomp-
sons creek, in this parish, who
lost in q most unusual manner,
their little two year old boy, on
Saturday last. The child was
sleeping in it's crib in side
room; the mother went into
the room to look at her child
AMI going up to it's bed found
the child quietly sleeping, but
was Mortified to discover coiled
On it's little breast, an immense
King Snake. On beholding the
reptile, Mrs. Jones gave a
shrek which brought the faith
er and awakened the babe. The
child on awakening was
thlown into commissions by the
presence Of the shake and only
lived Il few moments. The
snake made no attempt to bite
in fact their species do not
bite and are considered quite
harmless to humanity.

THE POINTS OF ATTACK.
All That the Slanderers Can Find In
Eighteen Years OF Public Life.

1t is true that General Garfield was as
signed $4,000 Of the stock of the Credit
Aobilier; il is true that he received some
dividends upon his investments, but there
is nothing in the transaction which i'm.
peaches his integrity. The Credit Mobi-
lier charges were brought to the attention
OF Congress in 1872, and in December OF
that year committee consisting OF three
Republicans aud two Democrats were ap-
pointed to investigate them. This COM
mittee immediately entered upon the dis
charge OF its duties, and after exhausling
all sources OF evidence, on the 18th of Feb
runry, 1873, submitted unanimous report,
recommending the expulsion OF OakesA mes
and james Brooks, and entirely exonerat-
ing Mr.. Garfield, Henry l.. Dawes and the
other Congressmen whose names had been
mentioned in connection with the charges.
The part OF the report which related to
Mr.. Garfield ard the last mentioned Con.
gresham is Rs follows: The committee
do not find that either OF the above named
gentlemen, la connection with Mr. Ames.
had any corrupt motive or purpose, or was
aware Mr.. Ames had any nor did either
OF them suppose that he was guilty of any
improperly or even indelcacy IN becoming
purchaser OF this stock. The
committees have not been able TO find that
any Of these members OF Congress have
been affected In their official action in con
sequence OF their interest in the Credit Mo,
biIIer stock. The committee find
nothing in the conduct of either of these
members in taking this stock that called
for any recommendation by the committee

Republlcans Organizing.

The Seventh warders have lead off in
the work Of organizing for the campaign.
II isprobable that their example will short
ly be followed by the other wards Of the
city. 1t is said that after a long campaign
and a hot campaign, the Republicans al
ways win. The more men think, the more
they vote the Republican ticket. While
the Republicans are confident Of carrying
Lucas county and the State by a rousing
majority, they do not propose to loose a
single vote for lack of hard and effective
work "Victory is in the air" said lead
ing Republican yesterday. 81 have never
known the Republican party Of this city
to be so united, 80 harmonious and so en-
thusiastio as at the present time. We will
make good fight in behalf Of Garfield aud
we will win glorious victory this fall"

There is some ilI-timed grumbling that

There is some ilI-timed grumbling that
the aggregate of the census returns in To-
Iedo, just completed, does not foot up to
10000 or over. There should be general
rejoicing that the returns show a popula-
tion in the neighborhood of $4,000. In
1870 the population, as reported by the
census takers, was 81 1854. Thus in ten
years the city of Toledo has gained nearly
25000 in population. Not a commercial
city in the west, save, perhaps, Kansas
City, will show such an increase. There
should be no grumbling; all should rejoice
If any names have been unintentionally
omitted, let every effort lie made to
hunt up the missing one, let the grand
aggregate be just MS large as possible

To personal friend in West Virginia,
evidently a democrat, General Garfield
sent this reply to letter of congratulation:
"There would never be political breach
wide enough to keep apart the citizens of
our common country il the spirit OF con-
servatism and patriotism breathed into your
kind letter were more general. would
rather have the opposition of such a man
than the support of those whose regard for
their country's good is but secondary

wish" Persons suffering from morbid
fear OF bloody.shirt will find consolation

A suit has been brought in the Circuit

Insurance Compan for damage done by
the great storm OF 1873. The property
was insured against lightning, and the
company resist payment on the ground
that il was destroyed by wind. The plain.

The New York enunierators have about
completed their labors and the papers are
getting some rich stories out of their ex.
perisncs. Taking the census in large
city is evidently not boys play, and many
who have been sngSged in It have expressed
themselves as thoroughly disgusted, with
the work and the manner In which some
people furnish them information that they
we're required to get. Great difficulty was
experienced 10 get the ages OF some women,
while others, who desire 10 be considered
refined, but being pampered and petted by
fortune and friends exhibited mean and
disObliging spirit by often sending word
that they were ihdisposed and could not
see them, and compel the tired enunerator
20 tramp long distances out OF his way 10
call on them again, and probably TO receive
the Same answer agaiH and again. There
are some people so supremely selfish that
they become totally needless OF others.

The Chicago Tribune, the day before the
opening Of the National Republican Con-
vention, related the following;
An amusing incident happened in the
Florida headquarters at the Palmer House
Yesterday afternoon. One Of the Pennsyl-
yania anti Grant delegates happening in
there got into an argument with gentle
man on the respective merits Of Grant and
Blaine. Both Gentlemen are well posted
and possessed OF good command OF the
English language, and they conducted
very interesting controversy for several
minutes. The Pennsylvania man made
the most OF his side OF the case, but the
Southerner was amongst his friends, and
consequently had the advantage Of his an
tagonist as far as applause went, though
the visitor was on the whole very fairly
treated. When the latter retired the
Floridians asked the name of the champion
of their cause, and when he announced
himself as Tourjee, the author of A Fools
Errand," they closed around him and gave
him quite an ovation. While this was in
progress tall and lank New Englander,
who had observed the whole performance,
stepped forward, placed one hand gently
upon the authors shoulder, and asked !:
"And so you've come up here TO help
elect Gen. Grant have you2" Mr.. Tour
ice smiled and acknowledged tn at anything
he could do to promote that object lie most
certainly would do. "And suppose you'll
write book nll about it?" the New Eng
lander queried Mr.. Touriee looked puz-
zed and answered: "Well, no, l didn't
intend to, but why?" ooh, we'll, nothing"
the lank man responded in a calm, measur-
ed drawl, al was only thinking that if you
did write book on it, the name Of the
other book would snit the new one to a
dot; that's all" The crowd caught the
point on the instant, and the New England
er walked after his Philadelphia lily with
quiet smile playing upon his thin, firm
lips, while the bystanders roared with
laughter
