Humorous Side Of Politics.
BY A REFORMED BUTTERNUT.

"a REBEL ut does good, in wandering
through the Northern Democratic Camp, to run across
that strange anomaly, Democrat who is frank
enough to truthfully define his position. Such one
met this morning. This man claims to have served
in the rebel army and therein lays his grounds for
asserting himself as genuine Democrat. AS passed

LAST Saturday, in company with Rev.
L. a. Atkinson, we attended Sunday
School picnic near the Town House in
Liberty township. 1t was held in a fine
grove, and the place glittered with flags
and decorations. Rev. Mr.. Redfearn con-
Quoted the exercises. In the forenoon the
speakers were G. W. Vance, G.. w. c. Per-
ry, w. w. Larrabe, Joseph Harper and a.
w. Long. In the afternoon we spoke
first, then L. A. Atkinson, Rev. Mr.. Shook
and Dr.. Johnson A. White. The singing

and attentive, and the children especially
appeared to be well trained

WHEN young men propose starting out
in the patent right business, it is best to
know something about their prospective
partners.
a FELLOW named LOWenstine, who
has been loafing round town for some
time, undertook to jump board bill
Monday morning, but was pursued, cap
tured and made to "ante up
AT which one Of our saloons that keep
within the law do all the minors that we
SO often see reeling around drunk, obtain
their liquor. A-little careful investiga-
ton of this question might result profta-
bly, to the county.
IT is very strange thing indeed that
ladies can only go to hotel in Jackson at
the risk of being insulted by an impudent
bus conductor, or by fast and concerted
commercial travellers. A little occur
renee at one of the hotels in Jackson, ON
Friday last would seem to indicate as
much.
THE pandemonium that reigns in this
place night after night is disgrace to
the town. Where is our Marshal every
evening from seven o'clock till eleven
If something is not done soon to preserve
order, we would suggest that petition
be presented to the council, calling for
the removal of Mayor and Marshal on the
grounds of incompeteney, and we are
sure such a petition would be largely
signed and strongly backed
jim. ALESHIRE and j. K. McClung were
announced to eXpOund the doctrines of
Democracy here on Saturday night. We
didn't attend the meeting, and in conse-
quence know nothing that was said OF
done. If one may be allowed to judge by
some of the younger brethren, assisted by
large quantity of bad whisky, he would
say it was hard crowd all around.
OUR furniture store is now run as !;

The Outbreak at COaltOn.

For some time there has been trouble
between the operators and some OF the
miners at Coalton, on account of the price
paid for mining being reduced from soc.
per ton to roe Both sides remained firm,
but no violence or lawlessness was re-
ported up to last Friday night-or rather
at about l o'clock Saturday morning,
when from forty to sixty men, disguised,
went to the shanties occupied by some of
the men working in the Patterson Mine,
and demanded that the "blacklegs' come
out. The miners refused to come, when
the rioters assaulted the buildings, break
ING few doors and windows. The men
then came out, and were compelled to
hold up their hands and swear that they
would never work again in the Horse
Creek Valley for roc.
Some of the miners were boarding with
j. F. Helphenstein, and the rioters went
to the house and demanded "the black
legs" Mr.. Helphenstein met them at the
door, and gave them to understand that
it might be injurious to their health to
come in. Like all mobs these fellows
were cowardly, and when they found u
man who had sand enough to defy them,
they Immediately left. No further vic
lence was attempted. On Saturday night
a detachment of militia came over from
Chillicothe, and if another raid is at
tempted, it is not improbable that there
will be serious trouble.

THE papers that assert that GAR
FIELD ever drew his back pay under
the salary grab law are guilty Of bear
ing false witness. He never drew it,
or handled it, but at the proper time
covered the amount accredited to him
under the law into the Treasury. He
voted against the measure in all its
phases, and opposed its passage, and
only when it was tackled on to an ap-
preparation bill, the defeat of which
would have involved an extra session
of Congress, did he, as member Of
the conference committee, assent to its
passage But he never profted by it,
and never intended to. He took coun-
sci of his friends, and all advised him
to the course he finally adopted, be-
lieving an extra session would involve
larger expense to the country than
the total of the extra pay. 1t is use
less to twist the facts concerning the
salary grab to make it appear that
GARFIELD took any part in forcing it
through Congress. His record on
that subject is clear and satisfactory

OF all diseases to which children are Ii
able, none are so alarming in their ap-
proach, so dangerous in their consequent
ces and so often and suddenly fatal in
their result as Group. The attack is of
tenest in the night. Frequently no ply
sician is near, and yet that peculiar hoarse
cough, that difficult and laborious breath

| TWENTY YEARs!-One of the most en-
joyable social events in the history OF
Jackson was the "china wedding so1
twentieth anniversary of the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs. o. S. Miller, which was eel
ebrated on last Monday evening. Two
hundred invitations were sent out, and
the commodious rooms of the Miller res
idence were filled with guests, who spent
pleasant evening in the enjoyment of
Those foiies that refine"
! About ten o'clock the guests were in
vited to repair to the dining-room, where
an elegant supper was served, and Misses
Clara and Jessie Miller, Mrs. S. j. Long,
and Mr.. VIII. Miller, saw that the guests
were kept busy. Will. was so importu-
nate, with his large tray-full of the choic-
est viands and sweet-meats, that we were
compelled to fly from his presence.
After supper, Moses d. Jones, Eben
Jones, Dr.. Williams, Capt. Baldridge, and
other singers gathered around the organ,
and treated those present to some excel
lent music. 1t was near midnight when
the guests took their departure, and we
doubt if any of them ever spent more
pleasant evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller are of that class of
people who make the world better for
their living in it-good, kind-hearted
Christian people, and, with their only
child, Miss Clara, doubtless lead as happy
lives as usually fall to the lives of mortals.
Mrs. Miller was dressed in her we'd
ding dress of twenty years ago. There
was demand for Mr.. Miller to appear in
his wedding coat, but bashfulness would
not permit him to do so.
1t required a stretch of Imagination for
the writer to look around upon that as
sembly, and think that twenty years have
passed since these two people plighted
their troth. 1t seems but a few years
since we, as a small boy used to see Miss
Phebe Steele at Church and Sabbath
School-and since we used to see Mr..
Miller, a young man, clerking in the old
Drug Store kept by his father on the cor
ner of Pearl and Broadway. Yet gen.
Grafton has passed. Old lives have drop
ped out, new ones have taken their places.
Mr.. Miller looks very little older now
than he looked then. Mrs. Miller has
changed very little.
There was John L. Long, looking as
young and boyish as when he used to sell
goods in Jackson, while Judge Longbon
shows, by his silver hair and beard, that
he is fast approaching life's evening.
There was Berry Steele, who in company
with the writer used to run off" from the
school taught by Mr.. Miller, in the Union
School Building. Berry looks little
older, while j. M. Watts, William Vaughn,
D. D. DUNCAN and others, are beginning to
show, by the rapidly changing color of
their locks, that ere many years other men
must fill their places in the world. DR..
Dyer looks very little older than twenty
years ago, and Rev. Fl. J. Carr has changed
very little. We have not space to speak
more at length with regard to the guests.
We will close by expressing the hope that
all of those present may live to celebrate
the golden wedding" of Mr.. and Mrs. o.
s. Miller.
The couple were the recipients of many
beautiful presents, among which was a
beautiful china table service.

THE Democratic County Convention
met at the Court House on last Saturday.
and nominated the following ticket: Au-
ditor, j. r. Booth Sheriff, E. L. Jones !;
Prosecuting Attorney, Ambrose Leach,
IT,; Commissioner, Allen McGhee; In
firmary Director, John Mccartney; Cor
oner, Robert Richardson.
Jones is candidate for reelection, but
he will scarcely be more than a candidate.
Booth is a standing candidate for office,
and with one or two exceptions is about
the only man the Democrats feel like try
ing to elect to any office. But they will
miss it sadly this time 1t would be an
outrage for the Republicans to permit a
single man on that ticket to be elected,
and one we do not deem at all likely to oc-
cur. We shall speak more particularly
of this ticket hereafter.

Eric's Dreani

slowly the sun is settling down,
Lighting the hills with golden crown
Casting dark shadows DER hill and dale,
Shining broOklet and messy vale;
Fleecy cloudlets sailing high,
Family decking the deep blue sky,
Peace and quiet prevai-it seems
That all of Nature sleeps and dreams.
Old Eric as the shadows arc gathering o'er
Sits doing in front of his farmhouse door;
Far back through the dim and shadowy past
In dreams his memory wanders fast;
lie sees the gloom of the lowering clouds,
And the anxious faces of gathering crowds,
Tie hears, with feelins of great alarm,
His neighbors talk of the coming storms;
He sees the gaudy banners wave
Over the heads of soldiers brave,
Who, with firm steps, march away,
Ready and eager to join the fray.
AS gaily they pass beyond his sight,
A traitor, with heart as black as night,
solemnly gives his opinion, free,
That THAT is the last you'll ever see
OF that dear boy, whom you love we'll
For the Southern cannon viii SOUND his knell."
Inen turns aWiIs Will sliIlISi
And goes to join his companions vile.
The dread news flashes over the wires
How the rebel. with sweeping fires
of"crape'' and .'canister,'' shot and shell,
Filled the field with living hell;
How the brave boys gallantly fought,
How in the enemy's ranks they wrought
Death and destruction on every side,
While many were wounded, and many died
Time passes on-but not a word
From his darling boy has Eric heard;
At last the traitor appears again,
ChuckIes, and reads the ''list of slain,'
Reads it over, solemn and slow,
Then pauses, and says Il told you so!'
For he reads, with undoubted signs of joy,
On the roll the name of Eric's boy.
But his words have scarcely died away,
When the ''forked lightning begins to play,
And he thinks no more of deaths or wars,
While all around him floating stars;
And he feels that he has, in his sudden fright,
Sat down can of dynamite
my boy!'' old Eric gladly cries,
And-can the traitor believe his eyes?'
Right before him, in fullest view,
Is the manly form of a ''boy in blue"
Then the stars, the lightning, the dynamite can,
All merged in a soldiers coarse brogan.
Eric awakes, with a scream of joy,
At the righteous act of his darling boy.
There stands before him. in stunning style
in cut-away coat and glistening "tile,"
A man who holds, with an impudent look,
In his outstretched hand ponderous book.
The old mans dream impresses him still,
He goes for that ''book- -fend, - with will;
He shakes him-tumbles him DER and DER,
And beats and pummes him full sore,
Ere he pauses, breath to take, =. e.. r-
And discovers the nature of his mistake;
Yet suffering public-though rough it may seem,
Will offer up thanks for 'tEric's DREAM"
