AN INVESTIGATION.

Every taxpayer in Perry county is

in which the affairs of our county are
carried on. We do uot believe there
Is any one in the county who has paid
any attention whatever to its affairs
that are not satisfied that gross ex-
travagance and fraud have been per-
petrated. We should have the mat.
ter looked up, and,the cost of the inyes-
tigation raisel by subscription. Com
petent men can be readily procured to
perform the work. Let the people
say whether they desire an investiga.
tion, and if they do, we will procure
experienced men who will make a
thorough examination. The cost will
be but trifie to each individual, and
you will have the satisfaction of know
ing how gthe public money has beer
spent. You can depend upon it, thai
there is rottenness covered up in the
court house and lots of it, that would
surprise the people ofthe county. lie

During the next year government
bonds to the amount of s772, ,776, 700
will fall due. BY the original contract
these bonds were payable in green
backs, but by a subsequent act of con-
gress greenback payment was repudi-
ated on the grounds that as the green
backs constituted a government in
debtedness, one debt could not be paid
by another. This was John Sherman's
logic. Now John Sherman asks con-
gress to pay the heremaining 500 bonds,
as he has the balance of them, in an
other..debt of A per cent. bonds. If A
per cent. notes will pay a debt, why
will not no per cent. notes?

Gestures of Great Orators.

writer in the San Francisco Bulletin
takes his position that gestures to be effec-
tive must conform not only to the matter
of the speech, but to the nature of the ora
ator. He illustrates his position by the
following "reminiscences:
Thirty years ago when student at Am
herst college,::J remember going over with
several of my classmates to Northampton,
were Daniel Webster and Rufus Choate
were the opposing lawyers in the great
Oliver Smith Will case.
shall never forget the impression made
by the great contrast between the manner
and gesticulation of those two distinguish
ed pleaders in their closing arguments.
Webster's gestures as well as his words,
were comparatively few, but weighty,
massive, the very embodiment of dignity
and concious strength:
Most Of the time during his b alf hour
argument, he stood perfectly motionless,
his body slightly bent forward and his
hands behind his back.
Choate spoke for nearly two hours in a
manner the very counterpart of Webster's
and yet equally appropriate to the speak.
er's individuality.
He was all alert, every vein swelled to
fullness, every muscle at its utmost ten
sion.
He advanced toward the jury and re-
treated. He rose on tip toe, and several
times in his excitement seemed to spring
entirely off his feet.
He ran his long, nervous fingers through
his dark curls, and anon shook them IL
the air above his head with so swift mo
tion that they seemed to run into eacl
other like the spoaks of spinning
wheel.
The day was hot, and when he had con
cluded he sank into the arms of attendant
in state of perfect exhaustion, and wa
born ont into the lobby like a corpse.
The excitement in the court loom wa
intense, but Webster's calm, stern, logi
carried the day over Choate's brilliant ant
fiery rhetoric. The verdict was for Webste
and the will.
One word concerning the gesticulation o
Charles Sumner
He was always digni6ed and self pos
sessed, and, in his movementr, as we'll a
words, always conveyed the idea Of DELHI
GRAFTON and scholarly culture rather tina

But he had one gesture which he use,
not often, but once or twice in his grea
speeches, one which never failed TO sen,
the blood thrilling to my temples and

Formidable Support of the Weaver
Bill.

New York Times.
The Sunday Capital contains an ed
itorial article advocating the passage
of the Weaver bill to issue $500, ,O00,-
OOOin United States notes to paw sol
diers and sailors who served in the
war CT the rebellion the difference
which existed between coin and paper
during their terms of service. The
argument employed is in the form OF
an appeal to the prejudices and neces
sites of soldiers and sailors, and may
be taken as an indication of the course
to be persued by the Greenback ad-
vocates to gain strength for their meas
ure. Those gentlemen contend that
the men who risked their lives to save
the government have as strong claims
to be paid for their services on gold
basis as the bondholder who purchased
bonds with United States notes when
those notes were worth not more than
one half their face in gold. "The man
who was ordered to shoulder his mus
ket," argues the Capital, "and march
out and get killed for us, and obeyed
without stopping to negutiate a gold
bearing bond, should be accorded the
same sacred right given the capitalist
for his money bags. LetIany man."
continued the writer, propose to pay
off the bonds at the same rate they
were purchased for, and he would be
charged with shameful repudiation.
Let us apply the same rule to soldiers
and sailors. The government made a
solemn compact to pay them $13 a
month for their services in defending
our flag. The government paid only
about six dollars in its deprecated
currency. Not to make this good is
to be guilty of the same reputation.
This pleasant little amount will be
paid. We are on,the eve of a presiden-
tial election, and no party will dare
repudiate the just claim of such a
host of voters and their. sympathizing
friends which incluees all the honest
men of the country"
1t is with such specious arguments
and appeals that the advocates of this
measure expect to create sentiment
among soldiers and sailors of the late
rebellion which will force members of
congress to support it. These men
have been active, during the recess, in
circulating and obtaining signatures to
petitions asking for the passage of the
bill, and it is intimated that thousands
of these petitions will be presented
during the present session of congress.
While the very extravagance of the
proposition justifes the belief tuat such
a measure can not pass, the indica-
tions are that it will be pressed with
great pertlnacity, and that it may re-
ceive a degree of support which may
make it positively dangerous.

Vegetables

A French cook gives the following gen
eral rules for cooking all kinds of yegeta-
bles. Green vegetables should be thor
oughly washed in cold water, and then be
dropped into water which has been salted
and just beginning to boil. There should
be a tablespoonful of salt for every two
quarts of wafer, If the water boils a long
time before the vegetable are put in it has
lost all its gasses, and the mineral ingredi-
ents are deposited on the bottom and sides
of the kettle, 80 that the water is fat and
tasteless, then the vegetables will not look
or have fine flavor. The time for boiling
green vegetables depends very much upon
the age and how long they have been
gathered. The younger and more freshly
gathered the more quickly they are cook
ed. Below is good time table for cook.
ing vegetables:
Potatoes, boiled, 80 minutes.
Potatoes. baked, 45 minutes.
Sweet potatoes, boiled, 46 minutes.

Turnips. white, As to 90 minutes.
Turnips, yellow, one and half to two

long been talked of and now it is upon
US. Time and time and tide wait for

year the people of this country will
have witnessed one of the hardest
fought political battles ever witness
cd by mortal man.
It's the fight of the down-trodden
against the tyrant.
It's the fight of right against wrong
Justice against injustice.
It's the fight that's long been brew
ing, and the fight that should have
oeen forced to an issue long ago.
It's the fight to free the toilers from
slavery-the oppression of the drones
It's the fight that should be pushed
from early morn till noon, and from
noon till night, and from night til
morning-all the time,
It's the fight that those enlistsd il
must fight, and with no letting up
