A gentleman who rented a country

robbed the apple tres, but was never
able to catch any ofthem. Coming out
Unexpectedly one afternoon, he discov
cred man hidden among the foliage of
an apple tree, presumably with larcen-
Gus intent.
You had better come down from
there or I'll send for one of the mount
ed police and have you arrested said
the man WHO was trying to raise apples.
The offender cooned it backwards
down the tree, when to the amazement
of the amateur horticulturist, who
should the guilty party be, but the
mounted policeman.

protector of property, as he picked up
some more fruit. and concealed it in his

The policeman mounted his horse,
which was tied outside of the fence and
as he rode off with his booty, he said -

A War Incident.

N~--~~~N~~E
l008th Reg't Ill. Vol. Inft'y during
the late war up to the time he fairly
earned and secured his Single Star,
was ltrict disciplinarian Struggling
and foraging were especially tabooed
by him certain and severe was the
punishment Of the culprit who was
caught away from his command with
out authority, and if any foraged pro-
visions were found on the scoundrel
they were at once confscated. As it
was not practicable to return the pro.
visions to the lawful owner, the Col.
would have them served up at his
own Mess table, to keep them from
going to waste.
AS e consequence, the Colonel was
cordially hated by many of his men,
and many were the plans laid down
by them TO get even and circumvent
him, but owing to his astuteness, they
generally came to grief
One days soldier of the regiment,
who had the reputation of being "a
first class, single handed forager,' but
who had nevertheless, been repeatedly
compelled to disgorge his irregulariIy
produced supply of fresh meat, and as
repeatedly to pass an interval of bis
valuable time in the Regimental Bull
Pen, slipped away from camp and, af-
ter an absence of several hours, return
ed with loaded haversack and tried
to get to his tent without attracting
any attention. He was noticed, how
ever, arrested, and escorted to Regi-
mental Headquarters.
Omar, you Internal scoundrel, you
have been fcraging again said the
Colonel.
No, | havn't.'
'Havn't, eh Let's see what is in
your haversack Leg o. mutton, eh
Killed some persons sheep said the
Colonel. Omar was sent to the Guard
House as usual, and the foraged prop
erty to the Colonel's cook.
The Regimental Mess, consisting of
most of the field and staff officers, had
fresh meat for supper and breakfast.
During the latter meal, the Colonel
happened to look out from under the
tent ay, that was in use as a Mess
room, and noticed Omar, who was un-
der guard cleaning up around Head
quarters, eying him very closely. The
Colonel remarked, We'll, prisoner, what
is it p
Nothing Colonel replied Omar,
except I was just wondering low you
liked your breakfast of fried dog
CONSERVATION seized the party at
the table. With an exclamation of
expletive every one of them sprang to
their feet, and from under the tent
fly.
Omar lit out for his life, and at
once, as per preconcerted agreement,
over half the men in the regiment
commenced bowling and barking like
dogs-big dogs-little dogs-hoarse
and fne-bass and soprano-Fortis-
simo and Mezzo soprano--f. and pp.
Dogs round the corner and dogs
under the house in short there was
the dog-ondest kind of a racket made
until the Colonel got control of his
heaving muscles-grasped his sword,
and foaming with rage, rushed for
the mems tents, but they were too old
to be caught.
For long time though they would
regulate the Colonel, if he showed
signs of being excessive, by barking,
but at their peril, for he would cer-
tainly have killed a barker if discover
ed.
After that breakfast, the Regimen
tai Mess strictly abstained from eat
ing any second hand foraged meat

This WAS the circumstance which

moral to my curious tale. | paid my
visit to the Cliffards during the Asst :

most influential county magnates, WAS
necessarily much occupied with his mag
isterial duties during time that. Every
morning he went early into Lewis, the
town where the Assizes were held.
One morning he told us Of case which
interested him
"Hs Is hardened villain" he said :;
"he has again and again been brought
before me. but has never yet been con-

in the place but he is such a slippery
dog, no jury has vet found him guilty.
Well. he Is to be tried again to-day, and
do hope we shall have some luck with
him this time.
The squire went away, AMI it came
into his wife'S head and mine to pay a
visit TO the court, and see for ourselves
the prisoner in whom he was interested.
No sooner said than done. We drove
into Lewis, and presently found onr-
selves in the large and crowded build

discussion had not begun, but a mo-

On December Is the steamer Celtic
left New York for Europe. Soon after
leaving she broke her shaft. She was
spoken by steamer, also outward
bound, soon after, but declined the lat
ter's off to take off her passengers and
proceed with them to Liverpool. The
latest report from the Celtic is furnished
by the steamer Bothnia, which spoke
her December 90, then two weeks out,
and only 1000 miles east OF Sandy
Hook. At the rate she is proceeding ii
is estimated that the Celtic will not
reach Liverpool before February first,
when she will have been out six weeks
on voyage that ordinarily would have
consumed ten or eleven days. She has
on board 149 sacks of mail, including
many Christmas presents, and 116,W
letters.

A. d. MARSH, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives of the SIXTY
fourth General Assembly of the'state
of Ohio and third in the government of
the State, has not yet reached the
meridian, of life. He is from Mercer
county, always good for q thousand
Democratic majority. He was born
April 10, 1s43, in Clay township, High
land county. He acquired good COM
mon education at the village school
house. He resided with his parents on
the farm, laboring with his hands until
1868, when he removed to SARDINIA,
Brown county, and in 1870 began the
study of law. BY energy and perse-
verence he succeeded in his studies, and
was admitted to the bar in 1878. In
1874 he removed to Celina, Mercer
county, his present residence. He en-
tered into active practice and has been
extremely successful, establishing for
himself wide reputation as criminal
lawyer. He was elected to the House
of Representatives of the Sixty-third
General Assembly in 1877, and has
since been a member of the Sixty.
fourth.

THE Democrats of the Legislature
have done q very sensible thing in re-
fusing to waste time in political discus
sion with the Republicans. 1t has been
resolved that all measures of a political
nature shall be referred to the Demo-
cratic. caucus and their fate decided
there. When they are brought up in
open session the Republicans will be
allowed reasonable time to have their
say and then the measures will be
promptly disposed Of without further
debate. This is proper. The Legisla-
ture is supposed to be in session to legis-
late for the good of the State and not to
engage in windy discussions for pure
buncombe. If the Republicans under
take to delay business by dilatory pro-
ceedings, or blatherskite political ora
tions, their wind should be promptly
shut off with the previous question.
The Legislature starts out well. Let it
keep on in the same way, confine Itself
strictly to business and adjourn early,
and its record will be worth fifty thou
sand votes to the Democratic party

remarks, made by leading politicians
throughout Ohio, it is thought that the
State will be redistricted so that the
Democrats can elect two-thirds of the
delegation to Congress. Ottd,ed Ga

MANY of the same papers that are
now bowling that money was used in
the Senatorial campaign just closed,
raised the identical cry over the nom
ination of Hon. Geo. Hoadly. The
money cry is silly in the extreme, and
while we look for it from Republican
sources, it is disgusting to know that
some Democratic papers have taken up
the cry. That money is used to a GER
tain extent in all campaigns any one
with good common sense knows. No
candidate can fight single handed,
therefore friends are called to his aid,
and the legitimate expenses of these
friends while engaged in the battle are
paid by the candidate or his more inn
mediate friends. There is nothing
wrong in this, it is all legitimate, and
absolutely necessary to carry on q cam
paign. But while these Republican
papers are whining about the use of
money by Democrats, it would be well
for them to remember that ex-Gov.
Foster paid between six and seven
thousand dollars to Chicago hotel
during the last Republican National
Convention held there, debt incurred
in behalf of John Sherman as Presi-
dental candidate. This was but one
among the many bills paid in that cam,
paign, and there is no debut where the
Democrats spend one dollar in these
expenses the Republicans spend five
And, by-the-way, while they have theil
memory cap on let them also remember
the great steal Of the Presidency in
1876, and the bought Presidency o.
1880! Then how insignificant the few
paltry dollars used by, the Democrats
appear in comparison with these two
black and damnable deeds Of their own

THE Washington Post having said
some undeserved things of the Ohio
Democracy, Members of Congress from
this State sent it the following card:
"Allow us as Ohio Democrats to en-
ter our protest against such sentiments
as have been expressed in your paper.
We shall stay in the Democratic col
umn, and intend to give the twenty
three Electoral votes of Ohio to thenext
nominee of the Democratic party, and
the selection of Henry B. Payne as
United States Senator by the represen-
tatiyes of the people of Ohio will be the
means Of more surely accomplishing
that result. He is a Democrat of the
Jacksonian stripe, who has maintained
and defended Democratic principles
during his whole lifetime. The Democ-
racy Of Ohio know him and have full
confidence in his craftsmanship and
ripe Judgment, and feel assured that he
will not only grace and honor his own
State but the Democracy of the entire
nation. We know to our own certain
knowledge that Mr.. Payne has done
nothing personally to make himself
Senator. He did not seek the office,
but the office sought him. The senti-
ment of the people was overwhelming
ly in his favor throughout the entire
State; and we think you Mr.. Editor are
entirely out Of place and unjust when,
in another article of your paper, you
class him as the representative of the
monied interests and the Standard Oil
monopoly. Mr.. Payne is not now and
never has been interested in the Stand
ard Oil Company to the extent of one
single dollar, or any other sum. Your
talk about bossism in Ohio, and about
the Ohio Democracy surrendering theii
hitherto independence thereto, is to
say the least, the merest bosh. We are
inclined to the opinion that the Democ'
racy of Ohio know at least little bet
ter whom they want to represent them
| in the United States Senate than a per-
son, although an editor of a newspaper
published nearly five hundred miles
from there. Let us assure you again
tand the Democracy of the entire coun'
| try, that the Ohio Democrats will moi
90, but will in October next sound the
| death-knell of Republicanism by tri
umphantly electing their State ticket
and in November following will place
Ohio in the Democratic ranks"
