One of the sneaks who appear to have
carte blanche to disgrace journalism, politics
and manhood in the columns of the Argus,
yesterday contributed the following choice
sample of defAmatory lying to that paper.
He has for la ge pay, for sum of money exceeds
ing the salaries of all his colleagues, violated the
spirit of the Republican platform by securing
through his brokerage in England during his pres
emit term and while our light was being dimmed
and light house being degraded, the alienation
of million acres of the public domain of Texas to
an alien syndicate of British capitalists, thereby
shutting out princely area nearly forty miles
square from settlement either by American citizens
or by bona .de immigrants, thus excluding working
men from American soil in order that tract of
public land nearly equal in extent to Lis own Con-
greasional district, may become for an indefinite
period mammoth British sheep ranch. SIS not a
man better than sheep?" Not for Congressman
Reeds purpose by $50 900 apparently.
The editor of the Argus knows, as we
know, that this charge which he permitted
to be made in his paper is false in every
particular imputing wrong doing to Mr..
Reed. 1t is not only lie but the most de-
graded of lies, that of a vulgar sneak.
The Portland daily press., 1884-08-28

For dirty and despicable meanness the Ar
gus of yesterday stakes the cake" Some
Western papers are more enterprising; but
it must be confessed that a copying sneak
is rather lower in the scale than an inven-
tive one,
The Portland daily press., 1884-08-28

The Argus in its desperation makes an eff
fort to put our contributor Republican"
into the company of sneaks. 1t will not
work for two reasons. In the first place our
contributor has not assailed with mean in
situation any mans character. He has said
nothing in his articles which one gentleman
might not say to another to his face without
forfeiting the character of gentleman. He
has dealt solely with matters of public
record and public concern in manly, honor
able fashion presenting his proofs whenever
they were called for. In the second place
he expected his initials would be attached
to his communication by us if it was used;
but we attached the signature that appeared.
It has been no secret who the writer was, but
matter of common notoriety on the street.
He is the same gentleman whose just and
able articles on the "count OUT appear
ing in the PRESS at the time of that in
famous business attracted wide attention,
Ardon w. Coombs, Esq. But we will say to
the Argus that the quality of sneak contri-
butor is shown in the matter and
manner of his writing, not in the fact that
he withholds his name. II is safe to say the
persons who have filled the Argus of late
with their scandalous calumnies will not
confess the authorship. They are too well
aware of the meanness of their action to
own it.

For several years past the REPUBLI-

corn and other articles of agricultural
products, but Of all the large ears of
corn that have been raised in these parts
the following takes the cake. The
Smyrna Times re- publishes the article,
and attt ibutes the result Of the large
growth to Star Bone Phosphate, as tho
following will show
Early last spring lot of Star Bono
Phosphate was shipped to Kansas, and

Troy Chief, wonld indicate that Mr.,
Barney Heeney had got hold of bag OF
it:
"a painful accident happened to .
little son of Barney Heeney, of Union
Township, a few days ago. His mother
sent him to the corntield for roasting
ears. He had to get a ladder TO get up
to the ears, when he climbed out upon

Tho Place for stoves.

Most emphatically one of the best
provided stove heaters and house fur.
nishing goods store in the city is
6ch9n's emporium, at 415 Market and
Ala Shipley street. The store was for.
merly GawIhrop Bros plumbing and
gas fttiHg tablishment, aud VI hen that
Arm moved out, It just lett one of the
best locations in the city for stove
store.
The practiced eye of Mr.. SchGn soon
saw this, and he was not slow in se-
curing 1t. The store extends clear
through from Market to Shipley street,
and large as it Ia, 1t is stocked from end
to end with the best modernized parlor
stoves, cooking stoves, heaters, ranges,
and full ,ine of house furnishing
goods.
As the season Is approaching when
housekeepers will want to get the best
stove in the market to modify the
rigors of winter and to make the work
Of the culinary department easy and
pleasant. Scb9n's store should De
visited and his stock of stoves examin'
ed. There is no use shlvering over
stove that consumes tons Of coal and
throws out but little heat when the
Solar Light or some other good stove
can be had that will heat up nearl J
the whole house on less coal. SchGn''

The Opera Last Nlyht.

Long before o'clock last night the
Opera House was packed, and hun
dreds of persons were turned away
unable to even get inside the door.
There probably never was company
in this city that took as well with the
people as Bennett & Mculton's Opera
Troupe, but this is scarcely 10 he won
dered at, when the very excellent per.
formance they give at such low rates of
admission is taken into ttI ssc.Iation.
The Chimes of Normandy, or the
Bells Of Corneille," was given last
evening, and the rendition was thought
by many to be even superior to that of
thes operas which have preceded 1t.
The character of Gaspard, the miser,
affords opportunities for excellent act.
ing, which were improved by Mr. L. p.
SIN ith, who threw all his energies into
the thrilling dramatic situations The
character OF Ssrpoletts was we'll sus-
tained by Mrs Bessie Fairbairn, while
Miss Mamie Bruce was perfect as the
young Marquis. The Chimes of Nor
mandy will be repeated this evening,
when the closing performance of this
very excellent company will be given,
and those who wish to obtain seats will
have to be on hand early. Mr.. II. R.
Jacobs has proved himself an able and
successful manager, and there is no
