a Stormy Year.

1888 has come in like lion, and it is
to be hoped it will 60 out like a lamb.
1t has been distinguished hitherto by the
violence of the elements. We have had
great floods, both in Europe and the
United States. There have been 'bliz-
zards," tempests, violent snow-storms,
and earthquakes, and the atmospheric
disturbances have extended throughout
the globe. 1t is remarkable, by the
way, that during the reign of storms
the number of sun-spots was unusually
large. Meteorologists are beginning to
think that there is really some relation
between these eruptions on the face OF
the sun and the atmospheric disturb
ances on this planet. Nor is this all;
the number of distinguished dead is un-
usually large. There is, however, one
consolation; pestilence, once so justly
dreaded, are now very rare. True, this
country has seen epidemics of cholera
and yellow fever, but plaques, the black
death of the middle ages, and the pest
licences so common in all history, are
unknown to this generation. 1t has
been found to be within the limits Of
human providence to stamp out contagi,
ous diseases, and prevent their spread.
No doubt, WREN the twentieth century
is we'll advanced, sanitary science will
be so far perfected as not only to ward
off pestilences, but to prevent a great
many deaths which now needlessly oc.

A Spiritualistic Trick.

Some time ago, at spiritualistic
seance-the genuine article-a fiery
hand was seen waving overhead in the
darkness, rushing from end to end Of
the room with incredible swiftness, now
high, now low, and occasionally shifting
people on the cheek with the cold, clam
my contact of a corpse. In spite OF the
mediums stringent injunctions that no
one should move, gentleman clutched
this awful apparition as it swept past
him, and, regardless of protestations
and threats, refused to let it 60 until the
lights were turned up. Then the mes
senger from the other world proved to
be nothing more supernatural than a
dirty, white kid glove, rubbed with
phosphorus and stuffed with wet tow;
this, at the end of thin line, was sus-
pended from a fishing-rod which could
be reduced telescopically to a length
convenient for the pocket. Thus the
medium could cause al manner of az
palling manifestations" without rising
from his chair. Chambers Journal.

Sherman's Little Joker Dollar.

The trade dollar is one of Senator
Sherman's pets. This great financier
pleaded powerfully for the little joker
dollar in 1876. 1t was a legal tender for
sums of SIS, but he saw no harm in de-
pliving it of that quality without con-
sulting the holder. Good faith did not
stand in the way. While urging this
he presented strongly the claims of the
Western bullion holder to be allowed to
pay the cost of minting that he might be
able to transport his bullion in the form
of trade dollars to China and Japan.
He said that the bullion holder could
not be answered when he argued against
depriving him of this right. It was
easy to answer any argument holders
might have made, based on the legal
tender quality conferred by the govern
ment. That which would have saved
labor from the fraud of the trade dollar,
twice or thrice pelpetrated by the bull
lion men and their brokers, it was easily
in the power of the government to re-
move, and it was removed.
The almighty right of the bullion men
to the coinage as q means of fOisting this
fraudulent dollar on the laboring men
of the country was sacred. Hence the
legal tender quality in sums of five dol.
lars, which would have protected the
public from this fraud, was repealed.
The bullion holders were allowed to
| coin their bullion at their own expense
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1883-07-19

for the benefit of commerce In China
and Japan. This was all they needed.
The legal tender was ofno consequence
to them. 1t was easy to circulate the
trade dollars, legal tender or not. So
long as brokers took them at par with
legal tenders, they were circulated at
par. Fairly In circulation, 1t was easy
TO refuse to receive them except at bull
lion value. As soon as they they are all
in, 1t will by easy Oput them out again.
IL Is estimated that about {, ,0O0, ,OO0a
held in this country. This is Mr.. Sher-
mans estimate. He estimates the ex-
port oftrade dollars at about $4,000, 900.
Now tits proposed to cap this financial
policy Of this great republican financier
byredeeming the trade dollar at par and
to have the entire export probably come
back forredemption. five can see that
the good faith of the government is in
volved, or that even the spectators
who have dealt so foully with the peo-
pie in this matter have any-even a
technical-right, we would hold that
redemption is the duty of the govern
ment. 1t will remedy no wrong done.
There seems to be no such obligation.
The repeal of the legal tender quality
was rascally piece of business but that
wrong is beyond remedy. Mr.. Sher-
man, the greatrepublican financier, and
his party are directly responsible for
this gross wrong which has, first and
last, perhaps cost the people of this
country million or more of dollars,
generally coming out of the hard earn
ings of the workingmen. This is the
party that protects labor.-NeoUs Journ-

UP IN A TOY RALLOON.
A Child Suspended in Mid-Air and
Rescued by a Rifle Shot.
Greensboro Patriot.

At the still hour of midnight had
the trump of Gabriel summoned us all
to final worldly reckoning, more ex.
element, CONSERVATION, and weeping
could not have come over the many
good people who were present and w.t.
messed the most wonderful and mira
culous escape that ever happened in
this or any other country. Mrs. Rob-
ert Elliott, of Texas, has been here for
the past ten days or more, to restore
the health of her child, Birdie, a
bright and sweet little cherub less
than three years old, who is much
emaciated from spell of Texas fever.
This morning about 10 o'clock stroll
ling Italian made his appearance in
front of the hotel with a large cluster
of those red bladder like toy balloons.
Major Hawkins, of Alabama, to amuse
little Birdie, who he at that time had
in his arms, tied the cord around her
waist and then, as is so often done to
amuse children, gave her toss of FIVE
or six feet into the air and held out his
hand for her return. "Great God
she is gone,' cried the Major, as he
saw her rapidly going up, up, up, un.
til she had passed the house-tops.
Floating in the clouds with out
stretched hands, the little angel could
heard distinctly calling: "Mamma,
mamma" until her voice became
drowned by the whistling of the winds,
all the men at the hotel started out in
boats, for the little one was drifting to
sea.

VALDosrA, Georgia, July 20, 1882.
81 sold one of your Patent Dust Proof Gases about
ten months ago, and the other day it came back to
me with the request to make it wind easier. On ex
animation found that the stem was rusty, andI
inquired into the cause of it. The gentleman stated
to me that he was starting some saw-logs that had
lodged in the bend of the river, when his chain
caught in bush and threw his watch into about
twelve feet of water, and he was about two hours
finding it. When he got 1t out it was running and
he thought all right. In about three months he
found that the stem hard to turn and sent it to
me.

The New Patent
DuSt-PrOOf
Stem Winding Open Face Case,
MANUFACTURED BY THE
AMERICAN WATCH CO.,
Waltham, Mass.

This case is formed in one solid piece without
joint or seam, opening in front only, thus avoiding
the usual cap, and securing greater strength and
durability.
These watches are all open face. The bezel, into
which an extra strong crystal is fitted with es-
pecially prepared waterproof cement is attachedto
the case by screwing it thereon and thus forms an
air-tght junction with the body Of the case, thus
is proof against dust and moisture.
To railroad men, travellers; miners, lumber men
and others who are almost constantly exposed and
who have to make frequent reference to the watch,
these qualities are of the utmost importance.

Those abroad who speak of the re-
suit at Columbus as blow at Thur
man fail to grasp the sitution. Mr..
Thurman happened to differ with his
democratic friends as to the selection
OF man. He might have differed
with his democratic friends as to the
selection of a plank in the platform.
There is the largest allowance among
democrats for dlsagreements. 1t is one
of the strong points in the party as a
mere organization. 1t thus closely re-
sembles the great public it so aptly
represents. No man is held in higher
esteem by all democrats in Ohio than
Judge Thurman. His broad and lib
eral craftsmanship, his long and faith
full service, and his riches of varied
practical information aud even that
manly and tough fiber which makes
him stand by his opinions of men and
measures with a stubborn obstinacy
which does not yield a ready or gra-
cious assent in defeat, make him re.
vered by Ohio democrats. While he
is revered and honored, democracy
sometimes begs leave to differ with its
ablest and best men, and when it does
it is generally found that there is more
power and better judgment in the
multKudinous counsel than in the sole
judgment of any one man. Democra
