"Good morning, corporal" he said:
ooh get me some water, am 50 thirsty"
The corporal got the water, and while
he was giving the boy drink, the enemy
came up and captured them both. A
rebel horseman took Eddie up tenderly
before him and carried him to the rebel
camp, where his stumps were amputated
and the wounds carefully dressed but
he died in a few hours after the opera
ton was performed. Eddie Lees father
had been killed by rebels, and he was
the son Of poor East Tennessee woman.
He went into the army to try and earn a
living for his mother. [Gen. James 5.

Country Newspapers

The country newspaper Is the most use
tul aud least compensated Of all the agen-
cies which stamp the impress Of progress
upon Villages and inland cities. Without
the aid OF local newspapers local towns are
as a rule, thrittless and dead.
1t is common for small great men
to speak with contempt Of the local
newspapers. but the village newspaper
makes more great men out Of less mate
rial more bricks without straw w-than
any other factor in politics, and it is the
one ladder on which men climb to local
distinction as the beginning of wider fame.
The advent Of the local newspaper has
always dated the increased thrift of the
community. The local newspaper is the
life Of the locality, and the measure of its
support, as rule, measures the advance
meut OF the people. Not only subscribe
but pay for your LEGAL newspapers. They
are the friend and helpmates of all sea
sons. Philadelphia Times.

John Knox was a wight of wondrous might
And his words rang high and shril.
For bold and stout was his spirit bright,
And strong was his stalwart will.
Kings sought in vain his mind to chain.
And that giant brain to control,
But naught on plain or stormy main
Could daunt that mighty soul.
John would sit and sigh till morning cold
Its shining lamps put out,
For thoughts untold on his mind laid hold.
And brought but pain and doubt.
But light at last on his soul was east,
Away sank pain and sorrow,
His soul is gay in a fair to-day.
And looks for a bright tomorrow

GEESE. Americans are not such goose
eaters as the people of Europe. The tur
key has in a measure supplanted the
goose on all great holidays and festivities
The goose, however, is still highly priced
by many, and when happy Christmas and
New Year come around is found upon
the family board, and some prefer it to
turkey for ''aud lang syne" memory. Con-
sidering the extent of our country, the
rivers and streams which flow through
our lands, the pasture range everywhere
and the locations contiguous to good city
markets, it is somewhat strange that so
few geese are raised on farms, compared
with the large number of barn yard fowls.
No class Of poultry will give the breeder
more profit on theinvestment than geese,
where the facilities are at hand and the
location for their propagation good.

Mr.. HiScock of New York, one of the ablcst
Republicans in the House and chairman OF the
Appropriations Gommitte, in the last Congress,
says of the Morrison bill: In all such attacks
upon the complicated industries of country
coming events cast their baleful shadows be-
fore. Have the election of Mr. Carlisle and the
promise. or, a. | should put il, threat of decid
ed tariff changes revived our industries? Is it
not true, on the contrary, that with every week
since that event more workshops and mills
have closed, more men have been thrown out of
employment and more capital and machinery
stand idle? That is the result of this untimely
tariff agitation by our Democratic friends, who
want to cut OFF something now, and hope to get
into power next fall to cut off the whole. Just
look at it. This agitation of theirs which keeps
every manufacturer in the land in constant un-
certainty about his position and makes of all
that immense branch of home production only
Il kind of gambling, this black cloud of uncer
tanty is to be kept hanging over the country,

can carry the election then it Will be re-begun

ferent.

Mr.. Blaine's letter of acceptance was the
all absorbing theme in political circles yes
terday aud called forth comments as d.
verse and varied as the individual express
ing them. Thinking the BAZoo readers
might be benefited BY the views expressed
among leaders or at least curious to know
what they had to say, reporter was dis
patched to interview few leading lights.
HERE IS THE RESULT:
Judge Halstead was the FIRST gentleman
preached upon the subject. He thought
the letter was q sort of mengerel, and was
contradictory from beginning to end. 1t
didn't suit him at ALL
Capt. Albert Parker thought the letter
was good one. 1t was plain and no man
had any excuse for not understanding its
contents. 1t was Just what he wanted.
Judge Rife said it was just Ike the re.
publican party-that is, no good. He had
only read q part of il, but that was enough.
He was for Cleveland and Hendricks.
While the reporter was talking to the
judge gentleman remarked that he didn't
care for either Blaine or Cleveland. He was
holding of to see what Butler intended to
do. Batter Is the man, said he, and one of
the parties should have nominated him.
Judge Shirk had only read as far as the
end of the tariff question. The Judge said
he thought it very able and conclusive
letter.
Judge VIM. Gentry was asked for his
opinion. He said be hadn't had time to
read the letter and didn't expect he would
have.
Mr.. John Fisher said that he hadn't read
he ofta, h,,t o hat ha H~au
one. Anything that came from Mr.. Blaine
would be good reading and the truth.
Mont Carnes said that he had read q
part Of the letter, and didn't have any
opinion to express about the matter. He
didn't think it worth expressing an opinion
about.
John Landes thought the letter was a
and declared that it was one of
the best he had ever read. 1t showed the
good sense and wise judgment of the gen.
tleman who penned it.
Prosecuting Attorney Heard had not
read the letter, and was consequently I'M
prepared to give an opinion. He consid-
eled Mr.. Blaine q smart man.
Alderman Farnham had read part of
the letter, and intended to read the bal
ance at the earliest opportunity. He
thought 1t covered the grounds admirably,
and was just what was needed.
Charley Yeater thought that Blaine
might be very we'll versed man, but the
letter did not meet his appreciation.
Col. Cloud said that it was all that
could be asked for and was sure it would
win. He looked upon it IS an article from
the hands OF an able statesman.
Geo Longan had read many articles and
letters that, in his judgment, were better.
Cleveland was the man for him.
Numerous other gentlemen were seen
who had not yet had chance to read Mr..
Blaine's letter and were unable to give an
opinion. They will be seen tomorrow
and What they say will be published Tues
day.

First Blood.

The campaign is opening with fever
heat, q caustic word-a hot blow and the
crowd shouts "First blood for salty"
1t all occurred the other day between Il.
W. Nicolds and j. E. Saltenstahl at Arrow
Rock. These two gentlemen are seeking
the nomination for the state senate of this
district.
They are going around Saline county
making speeches with the caravan and are
having more fun than box of monkeys.
A false accusation passed Nicolds' lips,
as it was alleged by his opponent, and old
SALTY" walked over the heads of 347 voters
who were listening to wisdom's words from
Nicolds.
"salty" paved the earth and set his ears
forward.
Nicolds set his ears back and his feet
forward and they met.
First round.-The men went together
and the crowd shouted Fair play" First
blood for Salty"
Second round.-Tims was called and
the two candidates went together side
ways and "Salty" put in one on his left
pepper and cried out "Elmwood is ali right
for Salty"
The bottle holders were uneasy and said
il was time 10 rub Nicolds down.
Third round-Time was shouted.
Salty danced around like pet colt at
county fair and said, "I'm salt of the
earth il amt the next senator from this
district"
Friends intsrferred and all went away IN
the shade of friendly tree.
The hatchet was engulfsd in oblivion
the voters hurrahed for both candidates.
And-the two gentlemen rode to Mar
shall in the same buggy and dear persPir-
ing reader, they slept IN the same bed that
night.
Then "Saltyn he dried his tears and smiled,
And "Nicholds' grinned till his gullet was seen,
And they all shock hancs and jOytully Thoughts
How very much worse things might have been.
They buried their woes these warriors bold
And vowed with oaths that were big and round,
That no matter who might fight and "gouge,
Never again would they thus be found.
And the lights went out, but still peace reigned,
And only the duleet dual snore
Of two tired men was herd 70 tell
Of battle late that had gone before.
