Democratic Agitation Over RumOred
Rupublican Plans-GOv. Abbetts
Views.
AS the campaign progresses the more
apparent the fact becomes, says a Tren-
ton, N. j., special of Oct. "a, that the Re-
publicans intend making a tremendous
effort to carry this State at the PresIden-
tial election. The appointment of elec-
tion supervisors and Deputy Marshals in
all cities of the State having a population
of 10000 and over by the United States
authorities is one indication of the des-
peration of the Blaine managers.
Gov. Abbett's attention was called to
the appointment of the Deputy Marshals,
when the following interview ensued:
"What do you think of it, Governor 2"
81 have not examined into the State law
yet, but will do so very sOon," replied the
Governor. II will consult the best law
yers in the State about it, and until then
cannot tell you what steps l will take"
''What do you think OF the rumor that
the Republicans mean to carry the State
by intimidation and bribery?'
"That will not be tolerated, rest as
sured. Why, how can they buy us all
out? You remember what they did four
years ago. Then they failed, and they
will fail this time. They said they were
going to beat me last year. Did they do
it?r
''What are the prospects of a Demo-
cratic victory in the State2'
''They were never brighter. We viii
carry New Jersey by good round major
ity, and my honest belief is that Grover
Cleveland will be the next President of

JESSE JAMES BLOOD.

Are Made in Missouri.
Sir James Morrisey, the theatrical
agent, says the Philadelphia Times of
Oct. %. stood yesterday in a group of
newspaper men in the Continental Hotel,
holding in his hand a blood.stained spIin-
ter from pine board.
"That," said he, 'sis covered with the
blood of Jesse James. This piece of wood
is from the plank in the floor Were the
notorious outlaws head struck when he
was slain by the Ford boys at ST. Joseph,
Mo. was in St. Joseph shortly after
James assassination, and, like everyone
else that went there, visited the house
where Jesse met his death-the house
which stands on the summit OF a big bluff
and is owned by an old widow woman.
The number of visitors to the place was
so great that she began charging them
% cents each to enter the place and 30
cents for cutting splinter out of the floor.
This is how came into possession of this.
1t was not long until the entire portion Of
floor where the bandit fell was cut to
pieces.
"a few months ago l was again in St.
Joseph and accompanied some friends to
the then famous house. l found more
blood on the floor than on my first visit.
You see," SAID the discoverer of the sac
charine qualities of the Emma Abbott

put down ana sprinkled with animal
blood. The sale of splinters goes on and

A REMARKABLE STORY.
A Sentinel in London Forgotten During
Twenty Years of Routine Dntv.

A Sentinel in London Forgotten During
Twenty Years of Routine Duty.
The other day, says a London letter to
the Dublin Times, a sentry-post at the
government Offices in st. James Park
was discontinued after some twenty years
of needless vigilance. Some time about
1864 a military commission sat in back
building abutting on the park. In order
to mark the soemnity of the occasion
they clapped a member OF the rank and
file upon the entrance, which was thus
held at the point OF the bayonet from 10
till 4 O'clock. The commission accom-
plished its work, which was, no doubt, to
draw up a report, which was relegated,
as such documents are, to the pigeon
holes of the department moving in the
matter. Anyway, the commission disap-
peared, but the sentry remained.
Two decades have passed away, and
still Thomas Atkins, with his red coat, his
fixed bayonet, and his 40 yards Of sentry
go, paced up and down, up and down the
brief parade fixed by his superiOrs. He
was relieved st regular intervals by an
other sentinel. A growing generation of
men and women have often wondered and
asked why that sentinel was kept on duty.
There was nothing to guard, and for 20
years he guarded it. unquestionably, with
a soldiers implicit faith in the wisdom of
the superior officer who put him there.
He had keen forgotten. in fact,

100 MINES on steer-baclI-

Oxen can be readily trained to be gov
erned by bride and to carry a rider,
says the st. Louis Republican. When a
boy we had an OK broken thus as well as
a horse. This was of course done for the
novelty of it, as there were plenty of sad
die horses on the farm. The Fort Worth
TEX Gazette gives the following: An
old gentleman named Jones rode from
Oak Grove, fifteen miles from here, to a
neighborhood rty-fve miles south of here
on Wednesday, to notify his daughter
that her mother was dangerously ill. He
did not ride a wild and untamed horse of
the pampas, nor ride in a chariot, but
mounting the hurricane deck of 2-year-
old steer made the trip of sixty miles in
sixteen hours. He started on his return
Thursday morning before the sun was up.
his daughter accompanying him, riding a
pony while the old gentleman contented
himself with his faithful bovine. The
party arrived at Fort Worth at O'Clock
at night, and after some simple refresh
ments and little rest, proceeded on their
way, intending to make the rest of the
journey by midnight, thus accomplishing
120 miles in forty-eight hours on steer
back, a feat never before performed.

THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE
FLAG.
How the Stars and CrOssbars Came t.

How the Stars and CrOssbars Came to
be Adopted.
1 saw Gen. Joe Johnston on the street
to-day, says a Washington letter. He is
as straight as an arrow, and the only
sign of age is seen in his silky gray hair,
which flows in silvery curls almost to
his shoulders, and in his full gray beard.
Otherwise he might pass for a young
man. His dignifed step is firm, his eyes
bright and his health apparently perfect.
He is now n years of age, but he does
not look over 60. He lives on COnnecti-
cut avenue, one of the swell streets of
the capital, and is, / suppose, in com
Portable circumstances. l called upon
Confederate battle flag now over year
ago. He told me then that it was
only partially his design. Said he: SAT
the battle of Manassas-yOu Northern
ers call it Bull Run-the Stars and Bars
proved a failure because they were so
much like the Union colOrs. Indeed, both
armies mistoOk their enemies for friends,
and vice versa. After the battle l re-
solved to discard this flag and called for
each regiment to procure its State colors.
This they were not able to do, and asked
the army for new designs. Among those
presented, one by Gen. Beauregard was
chosen, and altered this only in making
1T square instead of Oblong. This flag
was afterward adopted by the Confeder-
ate armies generally. 1t was a Greek
cross OF blue on a red field, with white
stars on the blue hars." This flag was
designed by a Col. Walton, of Louisiana.
and by him presented to Gen. Beauregard.

The story OF my meeting Mr.. Chandler on

Greely, who was an old friend and constitu-
when IN Congress to carry out his idea of the
North Pole Expedition, had returned home
from that perilOus and important voyage, and

to Lieut.. Greely and his brave associates. 1
went. The first man met was Hon. Samuel
j. Randall, with whom | was many years in
Congress, and went on board the Tallapoosa
with HIM and there met Mr.. Chandler and
other gentlemen Of distinction. | spent my
time especially in Mr.. Randall's com pany and
was more with him than any other gentleman
on board, We were engaged part of the time
talkingo OF politics, he assuring me that he had
has done, and advising me very strongly to
do the same.
THEY COULD NOT AGREE.
Much as l regretted to part with him told
him that | could not for reasons have since
made very public. At my request the Talla-
poosa ran from Portsmouth over to Cape Ann,
where is my seashore home. On my grounds
the survivors of the Thirty first Massachu-
setts Regiment were holding reunion under
the auspices Of Col. John Ii. French, their old
commander and late President of
the Democratic State Convention.
Mr.. Chandler and myself made
speeches to the soldiers. Mr. Chandler
went back to Portsmouth on board the Tala-
poOsa. Mr.. Randall went to my house, STAYED
with me over night and L took him down to
Gloucester, showing him the method by which
the Gloucester fisheries where conducted and
then to Boston, where we parted, he going to
his home and to mine. [ made no bargain
with Secretary Chandler on board the Talla-
poosa about anything. | certainly did not
make bargain with Mr.. Blaine, because he
was not there. Mr.. Chandler had not seen
Mr.. Blaine since the nomination, as l under
stood, certainly not since the nomination of
Cleveland. 1t is only your absolute good
faith and kindness that draws me to give this
