1t is noticeable that most of Gen. Garfelds
associates in Congress, even among the Dem
ocrats, treat with the contempt which they
deserve the Democratic accusations against
Garfeld's character. Mr.. Springer of Hi
nois, one of the ablest Democratic leaders,
said in recent speech at Sullivan:
The Republican party has nominated for
its candidate for President James A. Garfield
of Ohio, man who has long been in public
service, long been the leader of his party,
and who stands to-day the mightiest warrior
of them ALL the greatest Republican member
of the lower House of Congress. l know
James A. Garfield by being with him in the
lower House of Congress for years, and /
know there is no Republican in that body
ADLER than he. l sec that the newspapers are
making charges against his character, but,
my friends, l cannot say to you that they are
in any wise true"

1t is amusing to see how the Dctdmcr boy
shakes in his boots over our suggestion, back

Among the eminent Democrats who peck
oted the salary grab they voted themselves,
were tho Honorable Speaker Randall, the
Chevalier Bayard, and the judicial Thurman
Garfield opposed the grab and handed his
check for his share of it to the treasurer Of
the United States, who put the money back
into Uncle Sans pocket. But no Democrat
is decent enough to contrast tho conduct of
Randall, Bayard, Thurman, and many other
high and mighty Democratic leaders, with that
of Garfield. The sympathies of the Democrats
are with the grabbers

BURIED IN 4 TUNNEL.

TwENTY-oNE MEN KILLED by THE GAZING IN OF
A PORTION OF THE HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL AT

The Jersey City approach to the tunnel now

There were 2S men in the tunnel when the

"Wc will yield to no one in respect for the
individual character, the manly virtues of
Hon. James NJ. Tyler" So said the Dctamer
in its issue of June 20, and, in view of this
explicit declaration of belief in Mr.. Tylors
integrity it will be interesting for men who
believe that moral uprightness and manly
virtues are prime requisites in Congressional
life to watch for and note the volley of abuse
and detraction which this sheet will pour up
on Mr.. Tyler in connection with his candi-
dacy for the second term in Congress which,
by common courtesy, is his right.

Returning Thanks.

The following public expression Of
gratitude was recently inserted by q
Saxon farmer and his wife in the col
umns of German newspaper:
Thanks, most heartfelt thanks, to all
those who, upon hearing of our mistor-
tune on Monday, Aug. l6, when sud
den flash of lightning felled our two
COWS and she-calf to the earth, at once
rushed to our assistance. Thanks more
especially to the master butchers,
Messrs. Thomas, Reichel, and Fisher,
who kindly slaughtered the dying ami
mails on the spot, thus preserving us
from the cruel loss of finding the i'll
fated beasts unfit for human consump-
ton. Thanks, finally, too, to all those
who speedily came from tar and near,
and bought up the meat with such
avidity that by five in the afternoon
there was not scrap left. May heaven
mercifully protect them and us all
against any similar terror and calamity
in future, and bless them thousand
fold for the truly extraordinary sym
pathy they have shown us.

A tale of peculiar horror comes from
the Swatow quarter of China. The mil
itary mandarin for the Kit Yang district,
Pung Tye-jen, has been distinguishing
himself in thoroughly Chinese fashion.
Some small official, who held the posi-
tion of tax collector, had been murdered
by the people, who, exasperated by his
eternal squeezes, considered taking the
law into their own hands to be the only
way of getting rid of him. For this out
rage, Pung Tye-jen undertook to infict
punishment upon the residents. He
first secured the services of a gunboat to
protect his retreat, the place where the
inhabitants had committed the murder
being within reach of the guns of man.
of-war. The place was then besieged,
and the soldiers killed something like
seven hundred OF the people who were
supposed to have taken part in the up.
rising against authority and had caused
the mans death.

Gordon, living on the beach opposite

cat was brought from the mainland,
where it had been owned by a family,
several members of which were suffer-

The bite caused intense pain, and was
soon followed by soreness of the

taken with the disease, and two of the
children and the mother died. The doc

A double tragedy occurred at Warsaw,
Ind, lately. Morse Chaplin, a wealthy
farmer, caused the arrest and imprison-

90 years, and G. i. Smith, sewing ma

and then forged check on her father
in her favor for $3.50. She drew the
money before the Fl aud was discovered.
Smith was bailed out, but the father re-

would elope with Smith. Smith called
at the Jail and was allowed to walk with
Miss Chaplin in the back yard. They
had not been there long when four pis

bodies of Miss Chaplin and Smith were

ISLAND POND VERMONT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER l5 1890
Cupid GROWN,

OUf1U dhOWN'
Though the god of love be pictured
Only as boy with wings,
Wearing nothing else to speak of,
And disdaining leading strings
am happy to present him
Fully grown to mans estate,
Even with some threads Of silver
In the hair upon his pate.
Yet he keeps that bow and quiver,
Filled with arrows just the same,
AS a souvenir of shooting
Tough and tender hearts for game.
He has something hid away, too,
Tenderly in lavender,
Left with him by lover bashful,
Who forgot to send it her.
Love has ceased TO be the pastims
Of fleeing halcyon hour,
And is daily inspiration
Worth more to the bride than dover.
Cupid as unseen companion
Hovers on his pinions near,
Spending not his breath in banter,
But in counsel and good cheer.
That first bridge of sighs he builded,
Suiting the poor love-lorn twain,
Is replaced by one of silver,
Lighting up the earth and main;
Likeness of what moonbeams deity
Weave above the silent sea,
Over which go memories trooping
And sweet hopes so dreamily.

A Wish.


I'd kind o. like &c I've cot
Fixed on some sunny slope; a spot
Five acres more or less,
With naples, cedars, cherry trees,
And poplars whitening in the breeze.
'Twould also suit my taste, guess,
To have the porch with vines o'erhung,
With bells of pendant woodbine swung,
In every bell bee;
And round my latticed window spread
A clump of roses white and red.
And so, to solace mine and me,
kind o. think should desire
To hear around the lawn a choir
Of wood birds singing sweet;
And in the dell I'd have brook
Where 1 might sit and read my book.
There in that home Of quiet joys,
Far from the citY's crowd and noise,
There would 1 rear the girls and boys
Ud have some two or three);
And if kind heaven should bless my stort
With five, or six, or even more,
How happy I would be!
