An Aguostlc View.


Al the end Of every road there stands wall
Not built by hands, impenetrable. bare;
behind IL lies Nh unknown land. and all
The paths men plod lead to 1t and end there.
Each man, according to his humor, paints
ON that bare wall strange dark or bright
Peoped with forms OF friends or forms OF saints,
Hells OF despair or Edens OF delight
Then to his fellows. .Tremhlor' or. "Rejoicei"
The Inner cries, FOR loi the land hey Ond!"
And ever ncluiescent to his voice
Faint echoes from that painted wall respond.
But now aud then with sacrilegous hand
Some one wipes OF those painted landscapes all
Mutterlng, 81 fools aud slow to understand,
Behold your bourne-the impeneirable WALL"
whereat an eager angered crowd cSclaims:
Better than yOn d MI wall though pale aud faint
Our faded Edens. Better fcnds and flames
BY Fancy painted in her cosrsest paint
"On the blind, bald, UNREASONABLE face
or that obstruction, than its cold, nncad,
Unchllous emptiness. without a trace
or any prospect either good or BAD
And straightway the old work begins again
OF picture painting And men shout, and call
For response TO their pleasure or their pain,
Getting back echoes from that painted wall

THE wILHITE ROBBERY.


The robbery of Sheriff White, of Montgomery
county, an account of which was given solely by
the Journal yesterday, Occasioned considerable
comment. Last night Hogan and Billy mccarthy,
who are known as gamblers, but have not been
suspected of being thieves, were arrested by the
police, on suspicion of having committed the
robbery. 1t is said that the arrest was prompted
by third party. who was in the saloon at the
time, and who states that the McCarty boy swere
implicated in the matter. They, however, claim
to be entirely Innocent, and assert that
they can easily establish an aibi. At midnight
the police were hunting for Wachstetter, who
owns the place, who will also probably be ar
rested.
Mr.. White was in the city yesterday and he
stated that he only lost about $50 in cash be-
sides his iewelry. He says that he is confident
that the drink he took in Wachste tiers was
drugged: He had not been feeling well ana dur
ing the day had drunk only two glasses of Rhine
wine, certainly not enough to intoxicate any
body. In the evening he went into Wachstet-
ter and shook dice with the party there for the
drinks. He took lemonade, and remembers
nothing of what occurred after drinking it and
is therefore sure that IL drugged. There
Is no reason to doubt the truthfulness of these
statements.

Representative Jewett, of Scott county, was
in town yesterday on legal business. He said
that in his section of the State Mr.. Mcdonald
had many supporters for the presidency. but he
believed that majority of the Democrats in the
river districts were for the old ticket-a fact
that Mr.. Jewett attributed largely to the influ-
ence of the Courer,Journal. He declined to ex-
press himself concerning the possible Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, and regarded the
outlook as favorable. Mr.. Jewett said that he
had seen letter from prominent Democrat,

A FINE GAME OF BALL.
The Cleveland Champions Defeat the

A Holly Contested Game, Remarkable for
Brilliant Fielding-A Record That the
Boys May Be Proud Of

Decidedly the best game of ball played here
this season. and one of the best played any
where, was that between the Cleveland League
Club and the Indianapolis club yesterday after
noon, with fully 1000 spectators in attendance.
The visiting club is second in the race for the
League championship, and is regarded by many
as tue strongest club in the country, There was
no expectation that they would be beaten here.

by BrOidy, but the former was cleverly thrown
out at second. Dorgan went TO his base on

Callahan and O'Leary. McKeon came to the bat
with the bases full, and male a heroic effort to
win the game, but IA foul tip settled his fate, and
