The present great mission OF the Repub-

Government until every eleetor s.shall vote
as he pleases and have his vote counted as

assassinate liberty and to destroy govern

Money is coming into Indiana from

many Kentucky towns are holding
sewing societies and fairs, ard sending
the proceeds to be used i'll the Indiana
campaign. The Democratic leaders all
say that they intend 30 use the money
to run the fight. They assert: .sWe'll
have Tie State, if we have to buy 5000
votes" Henry Watterson is directing
the campaign in the southern portion of
the State, and furnishing a good deal OF
money. 1t is generally understood
that the Democratic plan is to throw

days before the election, divide it out

and sound political reasoning, kept the
audience spell-bound for nearly two

were uttered that carried conviction to
every unbiased mind. So far, the Re-
publican campaign orators who have
visited Southern Oregon have made 3
good impression upon the thinking
masses OF the people. Every position

How Andy johnson Won a Vote.

Miss Grundy gives the following inter-
esting bit of history in connection with
the death Of ex-senator Vickers, of Mary
land: at will be remembered that he
came into the United States Senate, just
in time to vote against Andy Johnson g
impeachment. At the critical juncture
when he was elected, Mr.. William Kim
mel, now one of Baltimore's representa-
tives In Congress, and the author of the
posse cemitatus clause in last years army
bill, was a member of the Maryland
Legislature. There was great difficulty
in selecting man to be sent to the Uni
ted States Senate to succeed the Senator
who had died, Henry Winter Davis, if
mistake not. The trouble was to find some
one whose record was such that the radi-
cal Senate could frd no excuse for decld-
ing him to be disqualified to
sit among themselves on the high
court of impeachment, yet one whom
the Legislature of Maryland could
be certain would vote in favor OF
President johnson. Mrs. Kimmel, who
from her childhood had taken the
warmest interest in politics, has told me
that she used to lie awake at night-fol
she was with her husband at Annapolis
trying to think of the right man and al
last thought of Vickers in the dead Of
night and suggested the name to hel
husband, who considered it very happy
thought. 1t required very nice manage
ment on the part of Mr.. Kimmel and
his colleagues, who desired the failure
of the impeachment, to secure the cleo
ton of Mr.. Vickers in time to cast hi'
vote against impeachment, and the Mary
land Legislature sat day and night un
until he was elected, and very skillful pc
litical diplomacy at last won the day
Then it renamed to get him into Wash
ington before it was too late, and thi

A Thrilling Experience.

A Rockford, Ct, gentleman went TO
his barn the other evening to feed his
COWS. As he lifted the cover of his meal
bin, he noticed several mice inside.
Thinking to be rid of the mice and give
his cat good meal at the same time, he
put down his lantern and went for the
cat. He brought her In his arms to the
bin, lifted the cover and dropped her in.
She, not Immediately taking in The stu
alton, bounded out, hit his lantern and
knocked it upon the floor. The lamp
fell from the glass, and in less time than
it takes to tell it the oil was on fire and
running over the barn floor. The gentle
man tried to stamp the fire out, but it
would not GO out, so he managed with
bis hands and feet to keep it from spread
ing. The bin was but little way from
the haymow, and if he should go for help
the hay would certainly take fire. In
this dilemma he happily thought of the
smotherlng process, and taking off his
coat, threw it upon the fire, and by dlnt
OF hard work, succeeded in putting II
out. His coat was ruined, and his
hands and arms were considerably burn
ed; but large barn, full of stock, was
saved. The moral of which is: Be care.

A Fox Story.

A former resident of New Hampshire
says that once, when citizen of that
State, he was out chopp1ng, and hearing
the baying of the hounds in the distance,
he looked up and saw the hounds pass
ing near him and making directly for a
pasture in which was round hill with a
steep ledge on one side of it. The fox
sat down at the top of the ledge
as if to consider for moment. He then
passed entirely around the hill and sat
down in the same place again. After pass
ing around the second time in the same
track, he gathered himself up for tre-
mendous leap and landed in the soft
snow at the foot of the ledge and ran for
dear life. When the hounds came up
they found the arrangement complete
and it would have done huntsman good
to have heard them give tongue as they
darted around the circle. This was re-
peated until the hunters came up and
learned of the state of affairs. They were
then called of and took new depart
ment on a more promising track and
were soon out ct hearing. Our inform
ant did not know the result of the hunt,
but thought that fox that had showed
himself such an ADEPT IN strategy would
be equal to the occasion again.

The Secret ola Wall.

The old Nicholson mansion In West
Baltimore street is in process of demo-
lition, to make room for the new Ger
man Savings Bank. The workmen were
yesterday tearing down thick wall be-
tween an old fireplace and a stairway
leading from the first to the second story.
This brickwork had the appearance of
being portion of the man wall, but the
workmen discovered that it was entirely
unconnected with the wall of the build
ing. 1t was SIX feet high and nearly
square. The men began at the top,
loossning the bricks with plckaxes. Sud-
denly one of the pickaxes penetrated a
vault in the brickwork, the bricks fell
In, and rush of foul air filed the room.
The vault was in form like the section
of sewer, two feet high, four and
halt feet long, and was closed at
beth ends. In the vault were several
human bones. The work of tearing
down the brickwork was continued, and
another vault was opened-a counter
part of the first-in which were other
bones. The wall above the vaults was
built in the most substantial manner
Flint cement instead of mortar was used
and apparently every precaution wa.
taken to prevent the pres nee of the vaults
being betrayed by any hollow sound.
The bones were examined by a physi
clan, and he pronounced them the skele
tens of a woman and babe. They wer'
in a position that indicated that they
were lying were they fell when the fest
dropped off from them. The air coming
to them they soon crumbled to dust.
The mansion was built in 1909, by
man named Philips, and expert builder

Marriages in England at Night

No marriages Of this kind can take
place in England except under the sign
ed fiat and special license of the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, first petitioned for
and obtained. The grant or refusal rests
entirely in the discretion of the Primate,
who Is said to enter into every detail
himself. By No. 1O2 of the "Constitu-
tons and Canons of the Church of Eng
land" of 1903 (now in fOrce) it is ordain-
ed that all ordinary marriages shall be
celebrated between the hours of eight
and twelve in the forenoon, and the same
canon law has since been confined by
various Acts of Parliament, and is to be
found reaffirmed In the Marriage Act OF
George Tvs reign. The collective wis
dom of Parliament from time to time
deemed 1t wise to provide against the
accident of foolish young or old men, OF
all classes, being persuaded to celebrate
marriage late in the day, after. perhaps
partaklng of the bottle freely at hanquets
and suppers. Also the debates in Parlia
ment show that it was held that the
Marriage Service was not thing to be
thoughtlessly and lightly entered upon
1t is likewise generally understood thai
the canons cannot be altered withou

Connecticut's War Governor

This characteristic story is told of the
late Senator Buckingham OF Connect
cut, the famous "war governor" A num-
Der of gentlemen from various parts OF
Connecticut met at Norwich during a
critical period of the war to consult with
Go vernon Buckingham. During the in
terview the colored attendant ushered in
to the room an old and feeble woman
dressed in simple mourning. Excusing
himself to the company, the governor es
corted her to seat near his own, and
asked, "What is your wish, MADAME"
Her story was soon told. An old woman,
a farmers widow, her only son had gone
as private in the fourteenth Connect
cut regiment. Within few days he had
died from wounds.
No one was now left but herself and
her grandson, his boy, three years old.
She drew out roll OF bills from much
worn pocket-book, and asked the cover
nor to take from it the value of her sons
rifle and give her an order for it on his
captain. "John didn't have much to
leave bis son besides good name and a
patriotic example, said the old lady,
"but want to get that rife, so that the
boy can be reminded often of his father
while he is growing up" The Governor
was deeply affected. He refused the
money and told her she should have her
sons rifle, even if he had to go in person
to the regiment to get 1t. After taking
the necessary directions from her, he
gave her his arm as she rose to go, escort
ed her to the door, and then with court
ly bow babe her goodbye, and returned
to his Office. "Gentlemen," said he
