Two Robins Hang n sparrow.

About one hundred persons witnessed
a curious spectacle at Lansinburg, New
York, recently. 1t was nothing more
or less than bird execution. An Eng
lish sparrow had by some means in
Cured the displeasure of pair of
red breasted robins, nested in a tree
near Rawson Hall. a fight took place
between the sparrow and robins on the
rear of the roof of the Rawson Hall
building The sparrow fought plucki-
ly, until all at once one of the robins
few off while the other kept up tine
lighting. The robin messenger soon
returned with piece of cord, that was
soon wound around the sparrow's neck
and the end held in the bill of one of
the executoners. This being done, the
sparrow was forced eff the edge of the
roof and briskly attacked by the other
robin. Tins situated, the sparrow was
comparatively helpless, and in a short
time hung suspended by the neck,
dead. After holding their victim and
peck;ng him until assured that he was
beyond resurrection, the victorious
robins flew to their nest in the tree,
singing merrily, as though glorying
over their vanquished foe.

the decline of all other systems and
their inadcquacy to the wants Of man,

A Fine Thing for the Teeth.

Fragrant SOZODONT is composition
OF the purest and choicest Ingredients of
the Oriental vegetable kingdom. Every
ingredient is well known to have a benef-
cial effort on the teeth and gums. Its en-
balming or antiseptic property and aro-
matte fragrance makes it toilet luxury.
SOZODONT removes all disagreeable
odors from the breath caused by catarrh,
bad teeth, sc. 1t is entirely free from the
injurious and acrid properties of tooth
pastes and powders which destroy the en-
amel. One bottle will last six months.

1t was the same old story of mis-

four aces and scoopcd up the coin.
"You heap cheatum,' yelled the Dig

They ran out Of the door and down
street. The man of the four kings
was whipping out a knife, and the
Cbinaman was feeling for a pistol,
when officer Scott dropped in and the
fight was indefinitely postponed.

In the Davis bigamy case, tried at
Chicago on the 9Th, the jury promptly
found a verdict Of guilty, and fixed his
punishment at five years in the peni-
Tertiary and pay a fine Of $4,000 (the
extreme limit of the law. The ver-
dict was received with loud applause
by the crowd, which was suppressed
by the bailiffs with considerable effort.
Davis sat near the jury, and by hard
work preserved his GOODNESS. Miss
Lynch. his last wife, was affected and
she, too, with difficulty restrained her
feelings. Davis wanted the bailiff to
allow him to bid her goodbye. The
request was denied, and sensation
was thus choked oft. DAVIS was then
hurried back to Jail.

The New York World OF the lOth

noon Speaker Randall, VIM. l. Scott
of Erie, Pa, and Henry Watterson
paid TiIden a visit together, and re-
manned with him several hours. To-
ward sunset Tilden and Watterson
took d drive il Central Park in Tilden's
victoria. A few other visitors were
denied admission to the Gramercy
Park house, on the plea that Tllden
was particularly engaged. Randall
arrived from Washington in the morn
ing and returned last night. Waiter
son was invisible at the Everett House
last evening, being fatigued. Mr..
Scott had not returned to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel at late hour. 1t was
rumored at the Manhattan Club last
evening, where the interview OF iii
denis three aids with their chief soon
became known, and was made topic
of conversation, that Tilden, since the
Ohio Convention, had determined to
prepare letter Of withdrawal, with a
power Of attorney to his delegates to

FRED GRANTvs AvOWAL.
What his Father Regards as a Dan
gcrons superstition.
qineIunati Commercial.

The point of remarkable
conversation ut Chicago between Col
Fred Grant and one Of the most dis
tinguished Republican leaders Of Hi
nois has just come to light. Col. Fred
npbraided the veteran for not being
actively at work for Grant During
the conversation, lie said:
MY father says that there may
come a time in the history Of the re-
public when it may be to the vital in
terest Of the people Of this country to
nominate President for third term,
and when preccdents set by Wash
ington and Jefferson would stand in
the way Of the common welfare. 1t
therefore becomes important to get
that obstruction to the safety Of the
republic out Of the way. Ny father
says he is in a position to make that
trial and win that victory against
public superstition of dangerous
precedent"
This speech Of young Grant took
the distinguished citizen aback. 1t
was evident that the young man bad
been impressed with the divine mis-
sion Of his father, and it is probable
that the gentleman would not have
deemed 1t advisable to make his utter
ances about the views Of Gen. Grant
public. But fortunately there was
witness who takes the public into con-
fideuce through the COMMERCIAL. The
name Of the prominent leader is with
held only because Of his innocence Of
this publication. But it can be furnish
cd, aud he will not deny the truthful
ness Of the above report

Nor Much LosT.-We are informed that a
DOniphan County Democrat confidently expected
the Office of United States Marshal-when Han
cock was elected-and other Democrats in the
County expected other positions. The result of
the election may be disappointment to them,
but il should not be- If Hancock had been elec-
ted, no Doniphan County Democrat would have
got smell, except one in each town, in the way
of little post-office. The Federal offices in the
State in the gift of the President, are Marshal,
District Attorney, Revenue Collector, and few
minor Offices Besides these, one or two small
foreign missions and a few elerkships, etc.. would
have fallen to the share of Kansas. But there
are few old Democratic bell-wethers in the
State who have run the machine from the be-
ginning, and hold the strings in their own hands,
who would have gobbled up every Office like hot
cakes. Doniphan County does not contain any
of the favored few, and would have got nothing.
They talk of Republican Rings in Kansas; but
if the Democracy should come into power, all
Republican Rings that ever existed in the State
would pale into insignifcance beside the Demo-
cratic Ring that would arise in the twnklins of
an eye.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1880-11-11

MAJORITY IN THE CoUNTY.-Garield's major
ity in this County is 924-the largest Republican
majority ever given by Doniphan County. And
yet it might have been 1000 just as well, if it
had not been for Republicans themselves. There
is in every County doubtful or undecided vote,
some inclined to one party, and some to another,
that may be got by work. In two-thirtis of the
County, effective work in this direction was
prevented, by reason of there being an indie
pendent Republican candidate for Representa-
tive in the Second District, and an indepedent
Republican candidate for the Legislature, and
another for Commissioner, in the Third District.
This situation concentrated the fight on these
officers, and if a candidate or his friends could
secure a vote for MIN, they were not particular
what party the balance of the ticket represent
ed, and made no effort in that direction. In
this way, many Democratic vote was cast,
that could have been got for Garfield, by a lit
tie work.
