Samuel Hilligoss, of Lafayette, who never
voted anything but the Republican ticket
before in his life. says that the Republicans
killed the man he voted tor for President,

saws, too.-Anderson Democrat.
Ulysses l. king of beggars, is a rather
costly pauper if we may judge by the bill
| that was passed to relieve his sufferings-
| We have heard of large families who have
lived in good style on a great deal less than
| Sl2 500 per year, but they were never a can
didate for a nomination for the third term,
and that may probably explain it.-S0uth
Bend Times.
So far there are but two Democrats who
aspire to the nomination for Congress in
this Congressional Distribution. Joseph S.
Daily. of Wells, and Hon. John l.. Farrar,

of their nomination, would get the hearty
and cordial support of the party and party
press OF the Distriet.-Decatur Democrat
A late swindle is that practiced by Bible
| agent. His grave demeanor, meek SIMPLE
| ity, coupled with his pretensions of human
| sympathy, soon secure him place in the
heart of the farmer whom he induces 10 &C
cept an agency for Bibles and signs a con-
| tract to that effect. The contracts, so far,
have all turned up as notes for 5000 each.
| When you see this fellow, and there is no
| telling where or when he may turn up, give
| him large latitude, and measure the latitude
with club.--M ichigan City Dispatch.

| For six weeks past Mrs +. A. Russell, of
Chicago, has been holding revival meetings
here and her labors seem 10 have beeo
crowned with success. To date nearly $50
| conversions are reported, and each night ad-
ditions are made to the number The Meth
odist Church is packed nightly by crowds Of
persons who take great interest in the work
| The order maintained is good, though now
and then hoOdlumistic spirit breaks out
among some of the boys who occupy rear
seats. Mrs. RusselPs labor IS not wholly
lost. There are some who will at least be
| temporarily benefited by the meetings, even
| though they do turn back after putting their
hands to the pillow. An unmistakable re-
ligious sentiment pervades in Wabash Just
now, and doubtless this is attributable to the
| reyiya! services held night after night. There
is no fore'elling when the meetings will

In the list of marriage licenses published
in the last issue OF the Courier the names
Jesse ID. Richards and Mahala Wa-ca-co-nah
appeared as q loving couple who were
''jined." 1t now appears that there was a

| which has not yet been narrated. For several
months Mahala has loved Jesse with all the
intensity her simple and innocent nature
was capable of. Mrs. Wa-ca-co-nah sat down
on her daughters inclination TO wed the
proud Caucasian, and Mahala was sorrOwful.
In vain did she plead for the stern parents
consent and, when every argument failed,
she, a few weeks since, packed her grip sack

or not, relented. The marriage license was
