An Offer to Prove the Charge and Pay the
Expense of Investigating.
To the Editor OF the Richmond Palladium:
In the Richmond Enquirer of Oct 16 is an ar
ticie under these terrific head lines: "The Know
nothing Lies" Another Squelcher on the Re-
cent Lies About Colonel Gray" said letter pur-
porting to have been written here by one who
dares not sign his name to it, no more than he
dares TO swear that Colonel 1. P. Gray never be-
lOnged to the order of Native Americans or
Know nothings The writer says; He" re-
ferring to me- 'knows nothing of Colonel Grays
ever having belonged to any such an order"
Precisely so, Mr. Calumniator; but this do
know that John B. Shriver, Gray's brother-in-
law, did not swear to lie when he on oath says
that Gray was the chief of a Know-nOthing
lodge at this place in the years 1854 and 1855
also know that our worthy fellow citizens, who
swore to the same thing, did not perjure
themselves. George Bacon, Captain Elan
Harter, Wallace Jones, Howard Lawrence, W.
p Espy and A. L. NoFthrOp. Jonathan Miller,
of Randolph county, former citizen of this
place, a man who has always been Democrat
and Is Democrat now, swears he belonged to
the Know-nothings at the time Gray did, and is
very much surprised to see Gray deny it. This
is no ''false and mischievous imagination of
NINE but cold facts. Now, to put u quietus
upon this matter, we ask the Democrats of the
State Of Indiana to appoint an investigating
committee and let them come to our village and
thoroughly explore all the evidence, both pro and
con. relating to the subject. and if they are not
satisfied that Isaac p. Gray was once q member
of Know nothing lodge, l am authorized by
several of the citizens Of this place to say that
their expenses will be paid and reasonable al
lowance made for their time
Now come on, or shut up.

WABASH Oct 21.-The campaign in this
county is being pushed with quiet determine
ton by the Republicans, though there is but lit
tie noise being made about it. There has not
been single big rally, and yet there are con-
slant reports of important aecessions from the
Democratic ranks. One of the most notable
cases is that of Mr.. Ed. Lentz, a we'll known
farmer living north of this city The announce
ment that Mr. Lentz had deserted alarmed the
faithful. The enlightened man was in this city
the other day, when he was surrounded and
inveigled into an alley, where a coterie of
the VERY hungry" followers of Mr. Cleveland
surrounded Lentz and endeavored by entreaties
persuasions. threats and budozing to induce
him to return to the sinking ship. The new
convert was firm, however, and will vote for
Blaine and Logan There are many other de-
5erters from Democracy, numbers of whom do
not declare their intentions but will vote right
when the time comes. In Pleasant township
there will be gain of twenty, This has been
a Democratic township the only one in the
county.
Southern bulldozing tactics are being actively
employed hereabouts by the Northern wing
of the Demo. Confederates. Last Thurs
day evening the Hon. viii A. Kearney of
Logansport, made Republican speech at La
Gro. The speaker was frequently interrupted
by Democratic gang who were determined to
throttle free speech after the manner of the
Fort Wayne mob yesterday who hooted down
Mr. Blaine and disgraced their city forever.
Last evening, during the progress of Major
Steeles speech at Rich Valley, IL Democratic
rough named Huddleston yelled for jeff Davis
and the Southern eonfederacy, but managed to
keep out of the clutches of the loyal people
present The true spirit Of Democracy, perfect
Intolerance, is bound to creep out and unmask
in all its hideousness. Every effort will be
strained in the coming few days before election

Senatorial Economy.
Boston Budget.

At the last long session $50 quart
bottles of Appoll1naris water and SIC
quart bottles of Bethesda were con-
sumed by the senate, making an av-
erage of nearly twenty bottles apiece.
1t was no secret, however, that much
of this was drank by thirsty represen-
tatives, who would come over for it
rather than go down into the restaur-
ant and pay for it. This year Mr.
President (pro tem.) Edmunds grimly
stopped this free guzzling. He had
a supply Of Apollinaris and cold tea
kept IN his private room, and gave
strict orders to his messengers not to
permit anyone to enter save United
States senator's They consequently
enjoyed their libations in dignified Sc
clusions, without having TO minister
TO the thirsty gentlemen from the 9th
er end of the capitol. The represen-
tatives denounced this as mean, but
made no move toward having a sup
ply of cooling beverages paid for from
their own contingent fund.

A Snake and Egg Story.
Galena Gazette

Galena Gazette.
Herewith we publish snake story.
This is wonderful story-wonoerfu
not only on account of the story itself,
but because it is true. Mrs. susanna
Wise, living at Sand Prairie, about
six miles from this city, where she
has hosts of acquaintances, has a
number of domestic towels upon her
premises, and numbers among her
poultry yard speckled hen. This
speckled hen was not satisfied to hatch
her young chickens In the building
assigned her, but with her natural in
stinct chose to go ''nest hiding" and
did so. One day about dusk Miss
Jenny, daughter of Mrs. Wise, start
ed in search of the hen, which lad
been missing some days, and after
searching around for some time went
to secluded spot of the yard, and in
looking about the grass saw what she
thought was the speckled hen sitting
upon a nest. she stopped forward,
not wishing to frighten the hen too
badly, aud reached downward to
secure the eggs, when to her horror
the supposed hen sprang up at her.
1t was in reality a monster adder,
speckled so as to closely resemble the
hen in the dark. The young lady
drew back instinctively and as she
dld SO she felt the serpent's head brush
past her cheek. In falling to The
ground the cold, clammy length of
the serpent slipped down her arm
causing deathly shudder. She hur-
to the house; her cries attracted the
attention of her mother, who ran to
her. Mrs. Wise procured pitchfork
and went to the place where the snake
still remained. She managed to
fasten the serpent's head to the
ground by one of the tines Of the fork,
thus dispatching it. Now comes the
singular part of the story. After its
death was certainty, it was dissected,
and within it's stomach were found five
eggs, which had been swallowed en-
tire so that not a crack was found
upon them. One egg had lodged in
his snakeship's throat, and he must
have been in the act of gulping it
down when discovered. In the alb
sence of the hen hc had appropriated
the nest and eggs with the result
stated. The eggs were carefully re-
moved and intrusted to the motherly
care of another hen, and every egg
brought fourth its peeping yellow
chick. They are now able to scratch
for themselves, and could boast of an
experience equaling the one credited
to Jonah.

Picket the Children.

1t is well knon that children do not
realize distance when very young.
Their eyes, not trained by experience
in comparison, can not distinguish
distance, hence the familiar spectacle
of youngster crying for the moon.
The same inability to estimate dis
lance is shown concerning objects on
the surface of the earth. but none
particularly, bodies of water seem to
simply impress the eyes with the
effect of presence, but not of distance.
This is seen by the numerous escapades
of the town babies towards Walker
Lake. They see the great sheet of
shining green and having no notion
of distance, start for it, anticipating
glorious dabble. They don't get
there, but they get far enough to make
themselves burdensome load TO
relieved but angry mothers, who, hav-
ing recovered their offspring, are TAX
ing them home to condig punishment.
As there is plenty of level ground, a
remedy for the wandering disposition
of the little ones will be found in the
picket rope. 1t has been tried with
most satisfactory results. One end of
a long rope is fastened around the
waist of the child and the other end
tied to any secure object. The child
has thus all the benefits of open air
exercise, with enough liberty for play
and not enough TO get itself lost or
into dangerous situations.

The following suggestion from a
citizen" which appears in the Times
Repiesc, may be worthy of consideration
here, and the fireman may act upon it:
Believing as | do that there are not
three men in Tuscarora, who, at an
alarm of fire, could take one of the ex.
tingnishers and handle it so as to do
effective work without previous prac-
tice, would make the following sug-
gestion: Let pile of combustable
material be placed on the vacant lot at
the junction of Weed and Main streets
Let it be fired at 7: 80 o'clock some
evening when no one having access to
the machines know when it is to be
done, and see what the result will be.
1t is safe bet that no one will be able
to work the machines 80 as to put out
the flames IN time enough to save a
building in case the fire had started in
one instead of on the vacant lot
Austin Repeiue.
With one exception, the above would
apply equally well to Hawthorne.

Spring and Marbles.

The noble game of marbles again
engages the attention Of the Reno lads,
red, white and black. Little Piutes and
all are at the game. The ancestors of
the little redskins probably amused
themselves by practicing at burling
the tomahawk, discharging arrows and
twirling the scalping- knife. Marbles
will doubtless prove civilizing game.
Reno Gazette.
Marble time always comes with
Spring, and Reno is just beginning to
feel the air softening. In Hawthorne
the boys have had marbles for several
months, and Spring weather has been
nearly continuous during the whole
time. Some people are under the
impression that " Spring would be but
gloomy weather if we had nothing else
but Spring" but no person who has
ever experienced the Spring weather
of a Hawthorne Winter will say that
there was anything gloomy about it.

Barnum -. Advertising.

No nan in America has shown
more elasticity, in recovering from
financial disasters, than p. t. Barnum,
the great Snowman. He has been sew
eral time, apparently, utterly ruined
aud vet he has always risen to greater
successes, where another man would
have quietly succumbed and sunk into
pauper's grave. The secret of these
successes was recently explain by
him, in conversation with iirlega-
ton Of business men.
Zone thing" he said to them, "you
do not any of you advertise enough.
You ought to invoke printers ink
every day. You are sleepy and want
your business to run itself. Standing
advertisements command confidence.
The man who, for year, resides in a
community and leads reputable life,
even though he be of moderate ability,
will grow in the confidence and es.
TEEN of his fellows. On the same
principle newspaper advertisement
becomes familiar, and its presence in
the columns of a paper inspires conf
dence in the stability OF the adver-
tiser. Let a prominent business Iman
remove his advertisements from the
local papers, and he will drop from the
public eye and from public thought
almost as ellectually as if he was laid
away in the cemetery"
