The pemocra,ic,Pr.s,.

The Democratic papers throughout
 the county are continually quoting
 what this and that army officer says of
 Hancock, and what kind of 8 Presi- dent they think he would mske. Now,
 is the opinion of an army officer of SO great importance on the Presidential question that they should bs sent
 broad cast ali over tbe country Their
 business lies iu very different chan nel. They have no vote. and are not expected to meddle with politi. cal matters, and worse than all the av- craze West Pointer has but An imper- feet knowledge of politics. AS A mat. ter of course, they will have a good word for one who has graduated al the same school. They are a class to themselves, and while they may differ in their political opinions, they are not so foolish as to say aught of a gen eral who may be placed over them, and command them the next change The Democratic papers could spend their time and space to much better advantage if they would address the conservative element of the country in a tone of reason and moderation. Cn- less they make converts from among this class, they cannot hope to secure many followers outside of their own party. The time has gone by in this country when bluster and bragadocio will carry sn election. You must come down to plain honest facts, and support your cause with reason and fair arguments, otherwise you will make poor headway in proselyting the Republican party.

"An These Fields Are Mine.

It appears from our telegraphic dis patches that a filibustering lOutfit is being organized in Texas for the pur pose of invading Mexico. One so called General James is to have com mand Of the Texas, New Mexico and Arizona forces. Who is General James, and is he like so many other men one meets, & colonel or general because their dignity-Or rather pOmposity-makes it necessary for them to carry title to keep them from gong up Tn balloon 2" We hardly think the people of Arizona are ready to join such movement. We are at peace with Sonora, and we de sire to remain SO. Neither do we think the better class of Texans are in favor of it. Gen Ord, we imagine. will cause a sudden collapse of the proposed expedition as soon as hIs at tentIon is called to it.

necar nf the Teeth

Arises from various causes, but prin- palIv il may be attributed to early neglect or the indiScriminate use or tooth powders, which give s mo meDtary whiteness to the teeth while they corode the enamel. The timely use of that delicate aromatic tooth wash, Fragrant SOzODoNT, will speedily arrest the progress of decay, harden the gums, and impart a de- Iightful fragrance to the breath. It removes those ravages which people sustain in their teeth from the use Of sweet and acid articles.

A Century Plant in Bloom.

The San Diego Union publishes a
 communication under the above head
 of over column, descriptive of the
 blooming of a century plant in that
 town. The writer says on Second and B streets, on the property of A. E.
 Horton, is to be seen what seldoms
 fall under our obseryatiOn-a century plant in bloom It may not be a common occurrence in California, but out here in Arizona, where the Century plant grows on its native heath" they bloom by thousands every year; but instead of saying "in bloom" out here, they say "gone to seed." The Century plant Is known here as the "mescal plant" and sbounds all over Arizona where the altitude reaches 5000 feet, and from that on until 4500 is reached. In many places they cover the entire surface of the ground for acres around, and grow so thick it Is impossible to penetrate them. The liquor made by the natives and called "mescal" is distilled from this plant, and by many is considered superior to bourbon or rye whisky. It is also used for food by both Mexi- cans and Indians. A pit is dug in the ground, and after cutting away the outside shoots, the bulb is placed in the pit and roasted for twelve or four teen hours, when il is ready for use. It is very plessantto the taste, and is sad to be nutritious. lt Is also dried by the Indians after being roasted, and before they went upon reservations constituted large proportion of their food supply

DURING the first summer after the Maine law" took effect having came on, and the usual accession 10 the force of farm hands came with 1t. But the work went on slowly. There was no spirit in it-nOne al least of that kInd of spirit which the men were ac- customed to. The sale of rum was limited to town agents, and they were permitted to sell only for medicinal and mechanical purposes. After a days dissatisfied watching ofthe work Uncle Daniel said: Hitch up the horse, William, and take couple of jugs down to the town agency and get three gallons of rum. If Deacon Still we'll asks you what it's for tell him for mechanical purposes" The nephew did as he WAS bid, and when he came to the agency he boldly asked the agent, a stern-faccd Baptist deacon, tor the rum. The deacon looked at him over his speciacles and asked him who and what it was for. Its for Uncle Daniel and mechanical pur- poses" said the young man. The deacon quietly took the jugs, slowly filled them and brought them out to the wagon. As he was putting the second one in he said tO the waiting messenger: Who's your uncle got to do his having this year" The Ellises," was the response. We'll, said the deacon, as he showed the jugs under the seat, you tell him he'll need more rum"

MURDERER CAPTURED.
Guarded All Night ana Brought
10 Memphis for Safe keeping.

The LEDGER has already given an
account of the shooting of Mr.. Miller,
an old and highly esteemed citizen,
and the stabbing of his son, by a bru-
tai negro, near Covington, last Tuesday
night. The name of the negro is
Frank Sanders, and he is about 26
years old. He had some trouble with
his wife, and she left
him, and found employment
at Mr.. Miller's. Tuesday night
Sanders went to the house and raised
a row with his wife. Mr.. Miller or
dered him to leave, and he fred upon
the old gentleman with a single bar
relied shot gun, i%nAicting a fatal
wound. Mr.. Miller's son, a boy if-
teen years old, just coming home from
school, interfered and received three
serious stabs at the hands of the des-
perado. The negro escaped.
Mr.. Miller died about three
o'clock Thursday morning. The
young man is in a preearious con-
dition.
Frank Sanders, the murderer, was
found in the road near Mason, yester-
day, by four colored men, reading a
paper, in which a reward was offered
for his capture. They arrested him
and took him to Mason. An excited
thrOng threatened to hang him. A
crowd guarded the Jail all of last
night and Sheriff Reaves brought the
murderer to Memphis this morning
for safe keeping. He will probably
remain in the city Jail until the court
meets at Covington and is ready to
try him. 1t was a colo, unproyoked
murder, and he will probably swing
for it at the hands of a sheriff. This
is not his FIRST crime. He shot a ne
gro once, but escaped punishment
somehow.
Mr.. Miller was in his seventy
seventh year, and was respected and
beloved by all.

The National Headquarters in
Mourning.

The late headquarters of the ma
tional party, opposite the old Irving
block, wear a deserted and forlorn ap.
pearance. The seedy, hungry crowds
that blocked the side walks a few
days ago, to await the pleasure and
the nickels of the politicians upstairs,
who were saving the country
have vanished, and all is as quiet as
an owl roost or a den of bats.
The headquarters faced both ways,
one side looked out on Second street,
the other on Court Square.
Passing by the rookery this morning
a LEDGER workingman was attracted
by two large placards; on the first ap-
peared the printed words: National
headquarters" beneath was written in
a fine bold hand: Let not your heart
be troubled, for l am coming back
againl'
just around the corner, not six feet
away, appeared another placard four
or five feet long, and on its face the
following funeral notice is printed in
large letters:
The body of the late national party
80
will be taken to the state Of Iowa and
placed in the hands of Mr.. Weaver,
and he will convey it to its final rest
ing place. Funeral will take place
from the late residence of the de-
ceased, August Z, $780," The placard
is heavily draped in Grape. Our
wOrkingman felt a cold clammy SEN
sation creeping up his spine, anil has
tened around to a warmer place.
