ONE of the current bits of political informa-
ton, published in the Sentinel, of THIS city,
for the purpose of affecting the German Amer
lean voters of the State, was this:
"a club of 400 German Republicans at
Galesburg. ILL.,, has left the Republican party
and come over to Cleveland and Hendricks,
Harrison and Setter. Thus it goes through
out Illinois,"
W. F. Bechtel, of Lafayette, formerly re-
sided in Galesburg, and he at once wrote Mr..
Philip F. Post, chairman of the county Re
publican committee, as to the truth of the
statement. In reply Mr.. Post said:
"GALEsBURG, H., Oct 6, 1884.
w. +. Bechtel, Esq., Lafayette, Ind:
'Dear Sir-The above squib is clean cut
out of whole cloth. Enclosed is full reply.
Yours truly, PHILIP SIDNEY Posi-"
The inclosed reply referred to by Mr. Post
is a clipping from the Republican Register Of
Galesburg, in which the statement contained
in the Sentinel is answered as follows:
Gin reply we state as follows, our informa-
ton being of the most reliable character:
burg numbers one hundred and twelve.
''2 There are but two Germans here, who
voted for Garfield in 1880, who will vote fol
Cleveland in November"
The Bloomington GIL Paragraph has the
following paragraph, referring to the German
vote of that city:
''The alleged detection of German Repub-
licans that we hear so much about has not
broken out in this city. The German Repub-
lican club which was organized less than two
weeks a. with sixty members, have already
increased their number to 2l7 and it is con
fidently expected to have 800 names on the
roll before the election. Every name thus
far secured is a qualified voter, who will sup
port the whole Republican ticket.
The Germans can no longer be used as
cats-paws by the Democratic party to pull
chestnuts out of the fire, on false issue.
The Gernan-Americans of this country are
largely business men and property holders.
They pay taxes and are interested in the
thrift and prosperity of the country They
are almost unanimously for protection and
sound money. Hence they will vote the Re
publican ticket.

THE home of the horse thief is commonly sup
posed to be at some indefinite point in the West
sometimes near, and again more remote, but
always is he to be sought for in the direction of
the setting When he is caught he is apt to
come to grief in hasty and tragic manner, even
though ne be guilty of having appropriated but a
single animal to his own use. What would be
done in the West with one who had stolen and
disposed of two hundred horses is question too
stCpendous for consideration. In Boston an in
diyidual accomplished to the extent named is re-
garded with admiration, and if captured will
probably be treated with distinguished consider
alton, for it is Boston man who has outdone all
the common Western horse thieves. Foster is
his name, and he was q confidence man before
serving term of five years in prison for ex-
tensive fraud. After his release his winnin g
ways gained the friendship of westend mil
lionaire. They formed a partnership and
went into the ivery-stable business. the
millionaire furnishing the capital and Foster the
experience. The former put entire faith in his
working partner, raying little attention to the
concern except to honor all demands for further
outlay. One method for inducing frequent pay
ments of cash was Mr.. Fosters habit of borrow
ing fine team from another stable driving it to
his patron for inspection, with the information
that it was a bargain which should not be lost
With check for large amount in his pocket,
Foster then returned the team without making
purchase. He also mortgaged the establish
ment for its full value representing himself as
| its sole proprietor A few days ago he sold the
stables and their contents, receiving cash down,
the purchaser believing the property to be with
out incumbrance. Before possession was given,
the enterprising Mr. Foster proceeded to collect
all outstanding bills, and then sold the entire
movable stock, horse by horse, and carriage by
carriage, for what they would bring. This be-
ing accomplished he left the city, without tax
ing the formality to mention his future address.
AS a consequence of this eccentric way of doing
business, several citizens, including million.

What the woof is to the warp crosses
are to character. Without the former the
latter is nothing but limp lines of threads
without strength, without usefulness,
without susceptibility OF being made beau
tiful. But when crossed by the woof il
becomes cloth fit for various uses, and
capable of receiving finish and an orna-
mentation which transforms it into thing
Of beauty.
In like manner a mans character is
limp, weak, unreliable and unattrsctive
until it has been subjected to many tests
and trials. These, like the woof cross and
recross ones natural tendencies until re-
sistance to evil begets strength, endur-
ance, growth and moral beauty.
Why, then. should one fret against ones
crosses. They are painful. vexatious,
hard to be borne sometimes; but what
are these ills. which are but for moment,
when compared with the exceeding and
eternal weight OF glory with which they
are rewarded when the last one has been
overcomeP The brilliants in ones eternal
crown will be the crosses of ones present
life crystalized in the love and light of
heaven.

The Four Truths.

There was once an old monk who was
walking through the forest with scholar
by his side. The old man suddenly STOP
ped and pointed to four plants that were
close at hand. The first was just begin
ming to peep above the ground. the second
had rooted itself pretty we'll into the earth,
the third was a small shrub, while the
fourth and last was q full-sized Tree.
Then the monk said to his young COM
panion; Pull up the first"
The boy pulled it up with his fingers.
"Now pull up the second"
The youth obeyed, but not SO easily.
"And the third"
The boy had to put forth all his strength
and use both arms before he succeeded in
uprooting it.
"And now" said the master. "try your
hand upon the fourth"
But 10 the trunk OF the tall tree, ,grasped
in the arms of the youth. scarcely shook
its leaves, and the little fellsw found il
impossible to tear its roots from the earth.
Then tho wise old monk explained TO his
scholar the meaning of the four trials.
"This, my son. il just What happens
with our passions When they are very
young and weak one may. by little
watchfulness over self and the help of a
little self-denial, easily tear them up; bul
il We let them cast their roots deep down

Creator alone can pluck them out. Fol

An Island of Pretty Women.

The Channel islands, and particularly
Jersey. possess much of interest for the
stranger. but the crowning glory of Jer-
sey is the beauty of her women. For
general comeliness they would readily be
awarded a prize in any competition of
feminine grace. Rare, creamy complex
ions that would put the bloom on the
peach to blush, figures made graceful and
sinewy by bodily toll. with rather strong
ly cut features, eyes like sloes, and lus-
trous dark hair, the girls met on the
streets OF St. Helier's seem, to the stran.
ger. the personifcation of womanly inde-
pendence, beauty and maidenly reserve.
The soft white mists that wrap the island
every night from sundown to sunrise give
them their carnation cheeks. The toll
that brings with it the active. healthy body
is due to causes which will enlist on the
side of these women the sympathies of
true manhood. 1t is because of the wo.
full dearth of men IN Jersey that the WON
en- do all the work. When you meet one
man in these tortuous streets of St. He
lier's you meet ten women. Out among
the green farms this disproportion Of
the sexes is even more painfully apparent
The heavy, ungainly carts on the country
roads are almost without exception driven
by women, and handsome women, too.
Groups Of cherry-cheeked girls may be
seen in the way-side orchards. some pick
ing apples from the trees, others strain
ing at the rude cider-presses. The little
fields, with their luxuriant growth of
turnips, cabbages and rutabagas, are all
tended by women, while blooming flow
ers in the house-yards show in their rich
variety the evidence of woman's care and
attention. None but women are to be
seen in the big public market of St. He
lier's-women buying and women selling.
What men you see are either too young
or too old and decrepit-boys who have
not started out in life, or old sea captains
who have come home to end their days,
smelling of salt cod and full of reminis-
cences Of stormy voyages to Buenos Ay-
res, to Australia, or through the China
seas.
