COquetry in Politics.

1t probably pays temporarily some
times to stife facts. But in the long
run facts force themselves to the
front.
This is somewhat the situation in
in Madison county politics to- day.
The straightout element of the Re.
publican party refusing to join in the
coalition with the Independents are
no longer to be ignored. They have
votes and have made them tell against
the coalition.
The fact is the Independents and
Republicans have coquetted long
enough. Let them join in holy wed
lock. With common destiny and
common glorious cause, union nov
under the old name OF Republicanisn
will eolidify and arouse the friends O
both parties.
Let us have q wedding, stop thi
coquetry, and welcome in the straigh
outs and all recruits.

The Lesson it EnfOrces.

Mondays election in this county
for the thoughtful, the sincere we'll
wisher of our country, offers food for
valuable instruction.
The scenes around the polls appeal
irresistibly to every citizen who thinks.
The result warns you against giving q
deaf ear to this appeal.
1t is an appeal for common schools;
for the education Of the masses up to
an intelligent comprehension of the
government, and the duties Of good
citizenship. 1t is aa appeal in be-
half of q higher moral truiniug. Shall
the press be silent and the pulpit
dumb while politics debauch the pub

Good citizens come bow at your
country's altar and consecrate your
selves to her welfare and the peoples

common echools to that point where
all may acquire proper moral training

THE STORY OF THE CT lME.

On the night of March 25, 1885, about
nine o'clock, Henry Porter al I'd family were
seated in the cheerful parlor of his hand
some and palatial residen, 70 on Porter's
Bluff, on the top Of Sand fountain, near
Carpenters Station. in ia ckson county,
Ala. A knock was beard ard on opening
the door masked party ru shed in, revolv~
ers in hand, and demanded money. Mr..
Porter was from the north, and it was re.
ported lie had large sum OF money in the
house. On Mr.. Porter refusing the demand
for five hundred dollars the Tuffians became
enraged, and commenced to fire promiscu-
ously, but no one WAS injured. Being
foiled in their attempts at robbery, one Of
the party slipped into an adjoining room
and set fire to the building. Seeing their
home on fire, the family escaped as best
they could The house, with all its valua-
bio contents, was burned to the ground,
and thousands of dollars worth of property
swept away. Miss Standish. a wealthy
young lady of New York, relative of Miles
Standish, of heroic fame, was at the time
visiting Mr.. Porter. She had in her trunk
| 81, 500 IN cash, which was burned.
| The unfortunate family were forced to
take shelter in dllapldated cabin in the
mountains, where they remained through
the severest winter ever known in that re-
gion, broken down in health from the ter
rible exposure of that fatal night. Mr.
Porter succumbed to his suffcrings and
died. Mrs. Porter became stone blind and
| is now in state of dementia from which
she can never recover. Everything possess
ed by that once happy family was taken
4 from them, and they were left very poor
indeed.
George Smith. Asberry and George
Hughes and one Grayson, all white, were
arrested on suspicion, and on their final
frial were convicted of arson in the first
degree, which is a capital offense in Ala
hama. The jury brought in a verdict SEN
fencing George Smith, George and Asberry
Hughes to be hanged, and Grayson to the
penitentiary for life, the latter having
proven that he was not at the burning of
the house, but was cognizant of the affair
The case was appealed to the supreme court
and the decision of the lower court was af-
firmed. They were sentenced to be hanged
on Friday, August l, 1884.

New Bridge Across Niagara River has
been opened, which makes an important link
in great railroad line and is itself reckoned
an engineering wonder. 1t is situated few
hundred feet south of the old suspension
bridge, and was built to give the Michigan
Central railroad complete line between the
New York Central and Chicago. The con-
aection is over the Canada Southern, now
part of the Michigan Central, between Mag
arm River and Detroit, and whole trains are
now run through between the ends of Van
derbilt's famous four tracks and the Garden
City. The new route will prove specially
attractive to passengers because of the OPP
portunity it gives for seeing the great catar-
act. There is fine view of the falls from
the bridge itself, and then trains run up by
che river on the Canadian side and stop at a
station called Falls View, where is platform
from which all can take an observation
