THE DIFFERENCE.

An old hotel man of Washington City
thus notes the difference between Democrats
and Republicans in the habits OF drinking:
IA Democrat will stand at the bar and
ouench his thirst, but Republican wants

takes whisky straight, the latter wants mixed

battalions, but Republicans prefer solitude
or seclusion and finger over their liquor.

defeat certain measures" The Washington
correspondent Of the New York Herald, who
gives the information, remarks: THE
Straightforward habit of the Democrat aud
the intriguing method OF the other are thus
aptly illustrated in their convivisl mo-
ments." 1t was at this bar that Congress

his prejudices he could buy British ale. st

The same correspondent gives further In

aroma Of peach brandy filed the Senate
cloak room, but it is said now that the Ser
geantat- Arms is requested TO enforce the rule
prohibiting spurious liquor to invade the
precincts of the Senate. There is a tradition
that it is sometimes kept in locked closets of
committee rooms. but only those who know
this to be true really believe the story. No
one would ever suspect Senator Edmunds

extensive observation of roosters. 1t will be
remembered that beginning with the morn
ing OF November 5, that succeeding the
election, the Sentinel psrched large rooster
upen its first page and continued it IN po-
sition for nearly fortnight. Days before it
was taken down other ROSTERS began com.

the latter were many letters appended to
the necks of the birds. A specimen of the
latter, Just received, is here given:

Mr.. John C. Shoemaker. Editor and Proprietor

SIs-I take pleasure upon this snniversy

men" in presenting you with q rooster
which stood sentinel during the recent cam

possession of the editor of the leading DEM
ocTatic paper of the State. This rooster was
Matched during the sitting of the last National
Democratic Con yention. Yours truly,
JOHN G. ACKELNIRK.
As with this last rooster every one re-
ceived by the Sentinel has been Democratic:
they have come Growing over the triumph OF
the Democracy and over the part the eenti-
mel took in the contest. And so it is that
the Sentinel has come TO esteem the Indiana
rooster az very patriotic bird.

A HOosIER PATRIOT.

The Sentinel is constrained to descant
briefly upon the rooster. To other papers
the rooster may not appear as bird Of I'M
usual importance, but he has figured before
the editorial eyes Of the Sentinel to an sx-
tent, OF late, as to call for extended notice.
The impression has been made upon us that
rooster growing must be an industry OF no
small dimensions in Hoosierdom. We give
ii as our opinion that there is at least one
farm for their propagation in each township
in the State. We are furthermore convinced
that nowhere in chickendom do roosters
grow larger than in Indiana. Should an in
ternational rooster exposition be organized
in Turkey, Guines or any other country, we
will be ready TO pit 1ndisna's products
against any in the world. And not only in
size, but In variety OF colors do Hoosier
