In order to find ont what watch is
doing, it should be closely compared
every day with standard chronometer,
and It's rate of variation noted The
finest watch is not necessarily the one
winch shows the smallest variation from
standard timcat the end OF some lengthy
pero,l, such rs month. or three
months, or six moaths; it is rather the
timekeeper which shows slow, but
regular variation. Regularity is the test
and very few watches will stand it, when
rightly applied from day to day. 1t is
possible, you see. therefore, for II mans
watch, set exactly right on January |,
to be only thirty seconds out of the way
OH July |, and yet it has been alter
nately forty-tive seconds fast and the
same amount slow two or three tines in
the interval. Such watch of course
is not to lie 'snerzed at but its running
cannot he called fine, hence it is irregu-
lar. The most valuable watch is one
which regularly gains or loses just so
many seconds per day let us say. for ex-
ample, five or six seconds per week,
steadily and surely.

county taxes on both real and personal property
to the enormous sum of $l60.12 This is consid-

fraudulent charges when sheriff. So that, up to
date, he is ahead of the county. In 1883 he was
assessed for personal property, and one of his
partners put in a claim that Cleveland had
moved to Albany and tried to get his tax off; nor
was it paid until the collector called in Novem-

New York Sun
There are obvious reasons to suppose that the
chances of the Democratic candidates are not
improving in Indiana. The extraordinary and
almost passionate welcome which the people
there have given to Mr.. Blaine is enough of itself
to give the Republican cause great impulse to-
ward victory. Never was there less division and
never less dissatisfaction among the Indiana Re
publicans than there is to-day. The Hoosier
Republicans never kick. for that matter Poll
tics in Indiana is carried on in a way and with a
heat that would surprise the cynical mugwumps
of the East. Every Republican Hoosier will
vote for Blaine. No other Republican would
have been as strong in the State as he is.
Cakins. the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor seems to be strengthening his national
ticket, while Gray, his Democratic opponent is
rather weakening his. Gray rightly or wrongly
is said to be Republican at heart. False or
true, the charge is probably unnecessary. 1t is
not shown that the Irish Democrats of Indiana
need any additional reason for refusing to vote
the Democratic ticket.

Federal Soldier.
vinton tIowal Special.
The Hon. A. j. Baker, Republican candidate
for Attorney general, in his speech in this place
last Saturday night, told the. following incident:
81 was to day in the Office of DR. L. G. Blythe,
of Vera Springs. In the course Of our conversa
ton he told me an incident in relation to
Thomas A. Hendricks that made my blood boil.
Dr. Blythe was soldier in the Union army, and
was severely wounded in a battle. He came
home on furlough, and while at home went
with his father to indianapolis. His fathers
sister was the wife of Hendrickss brother. and
the families were socially intimate. While in
Indianapolis they called at Hendrckss office,
Hendricks shook the hand of the father, but
fused that of the son because ne wore the feder
al uniform. The young son Indignantly turned
on his heel and left the office. After he went
out Hendricks said TO the father Mr.. Blythe.
l should like to invite you to my house to din
ner where you are always welcome guest but
| cannot ask the boy TO go there with you while
he wears that uniform The father cursed Tom
Hendricks, and told him that he did not nor did
his son desire to be entertained by copper
head"
This incident created sensation in the
diencs and several soldiers cried: I'VE would
rather hang him than vote for him" The cor
respondent afterwards learned that DIR. Blythe
had told this same story to soldiers when he re-
