THE TINE FOR REJOICING.

The battle is not yet over, but with proper
effort, its end is placed beyond doubt There
was a chance that fraud might have carried
Ohio. and defeat in that State might have dis
heartened Republican forces. Now, the only
danger is that Republican over-contidence may
lead to neglect of details. But veterans are not
the men to break ranks and revel in Il captured
camp while Il hostile force is still in sight.
There will be time enough to rejoice after
November f. Till then, Republicans will
"push things as Sheridan did in Virginia, and
with the same result to enemies of the Repub-
lie. Law has triumphed, and fraud will not
prevail. Justice has triumphed, and the shot
gun is not to rule. True Amercanism has
triumphed, and British wishes are not TO be
our fetters Protection of home industry has
triumphed, and from this year no party will
dare to commit itself TO free trade.
ANOTHER BOSTON HERALD LIE NAILED.
Thomas S. Lang, formerly of Maine, writes
from The Dalles, Oregon, where he is now pub
fishing newspaper: "The Boston Herald Of
September 29th makes a statement regarding
the Hon. James q. Blaine's treatment of me
fourteen years ago, which justice to Mr.. Blaine
and the Republican party demand me to say is
greatly misleading, and for the most part false.
Thirty years of acquaintance led me to place
James q. Blanes name at the head of my col
umns two months before his nomination, as the
ablest statesman ard leader in the Republican
party"

A PERSISTENT BEAU.

4 Tale of Love Disappointment and
Good Prospect of Final Success.
Messrs. John and Robert Burton, and
Benny Wade, after many consultations
and mysterious winks, left Crescent
City Friday morning for Palatka. Now,
there is nothing strange in their coming
here ordinarily, but this time they had
an object, a deep laid plan to circum-
vent and "get away" with the other
Crescent City beaux, for be it known
that several of the fair daughters of that
city We're expected to come up the river
from Mayport, where they had been on an
excursion, and the above named young
gentlemen, particularly John Burton, ex-
pected TO meet them here and lay seige
to their hearts while gliding over the
romantic waters of Dunn's creek. But
luck was against the boys. The fair ex-
cursionists failed to arrive, and the crest
fallen gallants took their sorrowing and
lonely way homeward. On reaching
San Mateo John Burton, knowing that
faint heart never won fair lady" re-
solved to return and await their arrival,
if it took all summer. So yesterday
morning, after =nlisting the sympathies
of Governor Town, of Georgia., and
giving the artesan well an effectionate
embrace, that c pie made their way to
West Tocoi, wheis they met the excur-
sion party and returned with them. As
the boat passed the docks here yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Burton wore a glad
I-told-you-so smile that would cover two
counties, and if this office don't get
some wedding cake to dream over pretty
soon, we are going to find out the reason
why.

remaining eggs, the ten chicks were taken
away from her and placed in a box nice

The plaintive cries of the chickens attract

and-tan dog, who, after soberly inspect
ing the box and taking in the situation,
stepped carefully into the straw and set
tied down among the chickens The
cries of the feathered youngsters ceased
Immediately. and they took to their I'M
natural but attentive Mother at once.
For several days the dog assumed watch
full care over her charges, carefully tuck
ing them down about her with her nose,
and becoming visibly anxious whenever
one of the more active of the birds hoped
over the edge of the box upon the floor,
barking loudly until some one came and
/ replaced the venturesome chick. When
the chickens were finally taken from hel
and placed with the mother hen, - Beau.
