Queer Effects Of a Lightning Bolt.

The fierce lightning and thunder
storm of Thursday night played strange
freaks in the residence of Mrs. C. w.
Jennings, of Greenyille. The bolt
struck in the roof, making hole large
enough for man to crawl through.
shattering one of the oak rafters and
shaking up the chimney so that it will
need extensive repairs. From the attic
it made its way down between the
plastering and clapboards without dis
turbing a lath until it reached the sink
pipe, when it burst through the clap
boards near the ground. 1t followed
the waterpipe under ground until it
reached the main in the street and shat
tered it. The occupants of the room
directly under the roof where the first
entrance was made were unaware that
the bolt had struck the house until the
rain which entered through the hole
admonished them that something was
wrong. -Nsu London Coma Day.

An Uncoveted Honor.

1t is little curious that there is only
one man in the country spoken of in
connection with the Republican nominal
ton for the Presidency, and he doesn't
want it. There is a drift of public
opinion pointing to Judge Edmunds,
now President of the Senate and second
executive officer, as the next Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency" we
are told, and it is added that " the only
obstacle to the Edmunds boom will be
Edmunds himself"
This reminds US of the notable de-
cline in value of the Republican nomi-
nation since 1880, when Chicago
swarmed with bidders for it-Grant,
Blaine, Sherman, Conkling, Edmunds,
Washburn, Allison, Garfield and others.
This was less than three years ago
and now the honor is going begging.
Nobody wants it. All the old aspirants
have retired from the field, and no new
ones have come forward to take their
places. The explanation of the extraor-
binary generosity with which all
other great men in the party waive their
claims in favor of Senator Edmunds is
that the nomination is SO barren and
worthless, and this is the explanation,
too, of the Vermont Senator's reluc-
lance to receive it. When thing has
lost its value everybody is willing that
some one else shall have it. So it
comes about that there is not . single
candidate for the Republican nomins-
ton in the field. 1t seems to be geper-
ally agreed in the party that Republic
anism has run its course, and the DAYS
when it could elect its Presidential NOM
inees are over. 1t has worn ghostly
look ever since last November. En-
change.

Dogmatizing Republicans.

There are two interesting classes in
the Republican party just now. The
first is made up of the 'sStalwartsn who
keep on compacently with their '.ma-
Chimes in spite of the cracking and
falling that have been going on around
them, and who put serene confidence in
Democratic laundering as the stepping
stone TO new lease of power. The sec
ond class is made up of critics, journal
istic and other, who spend their time in
attributing the defeat of their party to
the corrupt leaders and the machines, !"
and dogmatizing as to what s'the peo-
pie" are going to do as soon as they
get the machine hopelessly crushed.
Ofthe two the first class is the less silly.
Their talk about democratic blunder-
ing really has substratum of sense
in the certainty that if the Democracy
does blunder so seriously as the Re-
publican party has, it is not likely to
retain control of Congress or get con-
troll of the Presidency. But for the
silly dogmatism about what 'sthe peo-
ple' are going to do in the way of ire
pudiating Democracy and '.fusion"
and restoring the Republican party,
there is no foundation whatever.
If we could believe the orators and
the journals of this class .'the people"
is body distinct from both parties. 1t
has heretofore trusted the Republican
party; but finding the latter putting
corrupt men in power and making
machines" it has punished the party
by taking power away from it and Civ
ing it to the Democratic party and in
some places to the Fusion party. When
the Republican party has been suf-
ficiently punished and warned it is to be
again taken into favor by 1.-THE people,
who have only used the other parties
for purpose, not because of any con-
tidence in them or their principles.
There is hardly one Of the anti onk-
ling journals in New York, or the anti
Ferry journals in Michigan, or the anti
anybody journals elsewhere, that has
not presented the case to this effect, if
not in the precise words we have given.
Yet it is scarcely possible to conceive of
more ridiculous nonsense. The people
are the parties. A great many of them
who formerly voted the Republican
ticket and helped to constitute the Re-
publican party have discovered that the
men who controlled the party organiza-
ton were using it for their own selfish
purposes. Many more have discovered
that they are DO longer in sympathy

This affection is not of so frequent oc-
eurrence as is generally imagined, bat
sometimes the difficulty of ascertaining
the real seat of lameness, when situated
in the foot, has Occasioned many s'hoss
doctor" or ignorant blacksmith to refer
the complaint to the shoulder; and, in
consequence, the poor animal has been
doomed to undergo the painful opera
ton of rowelling. As lameness in the
fore limbs of the horse, in the plurality
Of cases, is located below the knee,
either in the back tendons or in the foot,
it is Of considerable importance to be
able to distinguish between q sprain of
the shoulder and injuries elsewhere in
the limb. Mistakes will seldom occur
il attention is paid to the following
symptoms:
When . horseis lame in the shoulder.
he drags the limb from inability of the
muscles of the shoulder to properly lift
the limb from the ground. The motion
Of the limb is more or less swinging out
wardly- II he lifts his foot high from
the ground the shoulder can not be much
affected. In rapidly walking down hill,
he catches up the leg with considerable
quickness; he will frequently stumble
when going uphill, and viii make .
shorter step with the lame leg than with
the other. He goes equally lame on
hard or soft ground, which is not the
case when the lameness Is in the foot.
In shoulder lameness there is no differ
ence in the temperature Of the two feet.

Strikes bring out the technical slang
of the trades, and particularly the on
probious epilhets with which the diff
ferent classes of workmen distinguish
the unskilled operatives who labor at
the same trades. In most cases it will
be found that these slang terms origi-

A Tough Story.

Louisville <ourier-Journal,
A very tough story, in which II cat,
a rat, dog, u chicken and small boy
figured, WAS going the rounds in the
East End yesterday. The story Is
vouched for by good authority, and on
this account Is all the more renarka-
BILE. 1t is related that Mr.. Sam Me-
Curdy WAS sitting beneath the shade
of a tree in the back yard of his resi-
dence on Clay, near Franklin street,
talking to some friends. VIXEN his at
tention was G. lied 10 Il hen with a
brood Of young chickens and u large
rat that had just emerged from its hole
and was quietly regarding the young
chickens with the prospect of a
meal in view. AS the rat
came from his hole the house cat
awoke from her afternoon nap and
caught sight of the rat. Crouching
low, she awaited developments, and
stood prepared to spring upon his rat
ship. AT disappearance of his ancient
enemy, the cat, a Scotch terrier, which
had been summing itself in the wood
shed, pricked up its ears and quietly
made for the place where the cat stood.
AT this moment a boy named Andy
Onaid came upon the scene. The
CiliChtiIS NtIC INV SoS vi bNlhs
watched by the rat, nor did the rat see
the cat, nor the feline the dog, who
had not noticed the coming of the boy.
A little chick wandered too nigh
and he was seized 10y the rat, which
was in turn pounced upon by the cat,
and the cat was caught in the mouth
OF the dog. The rat would not cease
his hold on the chicken. and the cat,
in spite of the shaking she was getting
from the dog, did not let go the rat
1t was fun for the boy, and in high
plee he watched the contest aud the
struggle of each of the victims. Ii
seemed to him that the rat was about
to escape after time, and, Selling a
stone, he hurled it mt the 70 lent. The
aim was not & )ud and the stone
struck The dog right between The
eyes. Tne terrier released its gril
on the cat and fell over
dead. III had breathed its last before
the cat in turn let 90 the rat and
turned over aud died. The rat did not
long survive the enemy. and by the
side of the already dead chicken ht
laid himself down aud gave up tn,
| ghost.
| The owner of the dog was so angry
ut his death that n. Is said 10 have
1 come near making the story complete
by killing the boy that killed the dog
that shook the cat that caught the rat
that bit the chicken on Clay street.
