On the 18th of September the democrats of
Pittsburg. Pa, had a great political demon
stration in which the speakers and all the
presiding officers were converts from the re-
publican party who had come out in support
OF Hancock. Among the speakers were Gen.
b. F. Butler, Col. j. w. Forney, Gen. Alfred
Pearson, Mr.. Schwartzwelder n many of
lesser note. There were one hundred and
fifty vice presidents, all men of prominence in
business circles, and influential in politics,
and every one of them a convert from the
sinking republican party. Forney in begin
ming his speech addressed his audience as

The New York Times concludes a long ar
ticle on the political outlook in Indiana in
these words: 'In any case no good can come
from acting on the idea that the result of the
campaign is to be settled in advance by the
state election in Indiana" In this statement
we recognize at half a glance an open confess
sion of weakness. If the Times or the part.
it represents was sanguine in the hope of a
republican victory in Indiana On the 18th OF
October, there would then be no lack of
smooth editorials, proving that such a result
could not possibly be otherwise than plainly
indicative of the more important result to be
reached in the final struggle of November.

Mr.. Fawcett, the British postmaster gen.
eral, has hit upon All admirable expedient for
facilitating the small savings of the poor. OF
fetal strips of paper, each to hold twelve per-
ny-postage stamps, are issued free. To these
the stamps may be added, one al a time, until
the strip is full, when it is to be taken to the
posi- office and surrendered in exchange for a
post Office savings bank receipt for one shil-
ling, the minimum deposit received. This
plan will assist in forming the habit of saving
among the English poor, proverbial for their
thriftlessness and extravaganza.

man, had words with another private in the
same company named William Austin. Dris
coll finally struck Austin and then proposed
that the difficulty, which was of long stand
ing, should be settled by a duel with shot
guns. The proposition was no sooner made
than it was accepted by Austin, and the par
ties without any unnecessary delay entered
upon the business of trying to kill each other.
The result was that Austin shot his antago-

regarded as a mortal wound. Austin, we be-

THE "DRAINAGE" QUESTION.

ED. Journal The silly and futile eff
forts OF the Sentinel hide its real motives
in publishing elaborate contributions
on the drainage" " question can deceive
no one. Tie principle purpose of that
paper is pretty well understood by the
people OF the county. The ostensible OBJ
ject in Its advocacy of ditch legislation,
/ &C., is TO drain land worth nothing with
out the bitches" so as to make it "as good
as anybody's land" It's real object, how.
ever. is to drain the purses of the tax pay
ers in order to keep up thriving business
for the ring. Undeniable facts prove this
to be the case
What Callard's motives are in writing
on the subject is not very clear. If, how
ever, he chooses to make loose and absurd
statements in regard to such matters he
must not expect 10 escape criticism. Some
| men seem incapable of carrying on di sens
sions properly. In fact this is the case with
the greater part of coneeied enthusiasts or
such as rashly and ignorantly advocate u
cause. They work themselves up 10 II
great heat over some favorite subject and
then get angry ii anyone attacks their i'll
founded theories. Instead Of showing up
| the unjustness of criticism or the I'M
sonndness of an argument they at once fly
of at tangent and commence 10 "spOut"
about something which has nothing to do
with the question IN hand.
Callard takes exceptions to the use of
fictitious signatures. Yet he sees fit to
have his articles published without any
signature at all. Possibly he thinks that
his style Ms writer is sufficient for anyone
t.. determine his identity-a good criticism,
by the way, il one is to judge from his
weak logic, his foolish and extravaganl
statements, his vagaries. &C. Ii. HIS.

Making Rain.

Gen. RUeGLEs, of Virginia, has decided
in his own mind that if cartridges of dyna-
mite are sent up into the air and exploded
it will bring on rain. The Detroit Free

be correct it may lead to some alarming
complications. BY and by every farmer

the country, and the new plan will not

One political party will throw water on
the out door meetings Of the other political
party, and as there is always some person
who has spite against some other person
we will have continuous period Of wei
