WHY JUDGE MONELL LEFT THE DEMO
| Gratis

When the campaign first opened the Democratic
Natio.al Committee had one clerk employed whose
work IL was to furnish 20 the newspapers list OF
alleged accessions from the Republican ranks"
THIS part OF the campaign work was dropped some
time since because of the stampede from the Demo-
cratic party A notable instance of this last move
ment was furnished at the Republican mas5-meet-
ing in Newburg on Tuesday night at when
Chauncey NJ. Depcw delivered an eloquent address.
The presiding officer was Judge Mcneil, leading
LAWYER of Orange County, who was twice elected
Cou.,y Judge on the Democratic ticket lie made a
snort speech in which he gave four reasons Tor eav
ing the Democratic party: IT raditOns OK the
Democratic party we're against the nomination OF n
man who was simply a soldier without any clYll re-
cord the utterances Of General Hancock had
SHOWN his want of training IN state matters; the
admin stration Of an independent Republican,
President Hayes, had brought this country TO Al
era of great prosperity; his study OF the speeches
and public career o. General Garfield had convinced
him that the same methods would be continued
uuder bis administration and the country would
escape an undesirable change.

A LAND OF WONDERS.

Nevada is a land of curious natural
phenomena, says the Eureka (Nev.)
Leader. Her rivers have no visible
outlet to the ocean. She has no lakes
of any magnitude. She has vast
stretches of alkalideserts, however,
that give every indication of having
been the beds Cor bottoms of either
seas or lakes. Down in Lincoln
county there is spring OF ice cold
water that bubbles up over a rock
and disappears on the other side, and
no one has been able to find where
the water goes. At another point in
the same county is a large spring
about twenty feet square, that is APP
parently, only some eighteen Driven
ty inches in depth, with sandy bot
tom. The sand can be plainly seen,
but on looking closer it is perceived
that this sand is in perpetual stare
of unrest. No bottom has ever been
found tothis spring. 1t is said that
a teamster, on reaching this spring
one day, deceived by its apparent
shallowness, concluded to soak one OF
his wagon wheels to cure the loose
ness of it's tire. He, therefore, took
it off and rolled it into the, as he
thought, shallow water. He never
laid his eyes on that wagon wheel
again. The mountains are full OF
caves and caverns, many OF which
have been explored to great dis
lance. Speaking of caves, a rodert
was held last spring over in Hunting
tor Valley during its progress quite
a number of cattle were missed, anC
for a time unavailing search was made
for them. At last they were tracet
TO the mouth of natural tunnel o
cave in the mountains. The herder
entered the cave, and following it TO
. lonr distance. at last found the cat
tie. 1t appears that they had proba
bly entered the cave, which was YER
narrow, in search OF water. 1t ha
finally narrowed SO that they coal
proceed no farther. Neither coul
they turn around to get ont. Inc

A LIVELY RACE AND SOME SHOOT
1NG-Quite an excitement was Great
ed at the corner of Texas and Mar
shall streets yesterday evening about
6 o'clock. 1t seems that John Young
(colored, who has been on trial two
days before Justice Carter for steal
ing pair Of pants Ia report OF which
will be found in our court reports)
was being conveyed to jail by Con-
stable Murry and Deputy Sheriff Elst-
ner, and on arriving at the corner Of
Texas and Marshall streets he gave
the officers the "grand slip and took
to his heels down Marshall toward
Crockett street. The officers soon
gained their presence of mind and
took after him, Deputy Elstner firing
at the fleeing prisoner, who was cap
tured at the corner Of Crockett and
Marshall streets, and is now safely
locked in the jail. After his capture
he told the officers some of his colored
friends had put him up to breaking
away from them and making his es-
cape. The race was exciting and
created quite a commotion among
those who were in the neighborhood
at the time. Shreveport Standard.
