sE-The Democrats and Prohibitionists are
strange bed-fellows. Verify, time works
wonders.-Signal.
Silly gabble. The Democratic party has
never pretended to favor prohibitrry laws,
and as party has made no change on that
question. Its position is known by every one
that can read, and the attempt of the Signal
to connect il with the Prohibition party is
sheer buncombe and an insult to the intelli-
gent readers of that sheet.
The abuse the Signal is heaping upon the
Prohibitionists is the work of demagogue.
The Republican party for years have been
sparkling the Prohibitionists until a respecta-
BILE hour and stopping till morning with the
saloon men. The Prohibition family finally
found their Republican suitor in such COM
promising attitude with the liquor element,
that they separated finally, and now when
Republican leaders see they can no longer use
the Prohibitionists, they abuse them. Go
slow, my Republican brother; go slow, for
you must eat your crow. It is matter of a
year or two till your party must die, or fall in
line with the Prohibitionists you are cursing.
You may not like Leonard or st. John, but
you have to 60 to them. They fight for a
doctrine, you fight for Offices. and the time is
at hand when you must adopt st. Johns and
Leonard's doctrines or lose the spoils.. So
fall in line

THE DEMOCRATC NORTHW Es1 THU sSDAY AUGUST 6. ISS5

20 Our old Democratic friend, r. Hudson,
has placed in our possession a copy of the
Democratic Record, published in Toledo,
bearing date Sept p 1865 Ths paper was
published by Z. A. Higgins, and is full Of
Democracy and Democratic doctrines. In
we find a reference 70 the candidacy of Capt.
H. d. Taylor for State Senator, clipped from
the NoKrHwEsT, a speech, upon the adjust
ment of our national troubles, by President
johnson, and the Democratic State ticket
headed by gallent Gen. Geo. w. Morgan. We
also find in it a speech, taken from the
NORTHWEST, which was made by young man
named Poe at a Republican meeting held in
Napoleon, as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen The American
eagle-gentlemen-the American eagle
ladies-the American eagle-gentlemen-t
American eagle-ladies the NoRTHwEsT-the
American eagle and the Republican party.
(Applause.) The American eagle is like a
crow perched upon the far distant peak of an
adjacent mountain-it looks at the Republi-
can party and the Republican party looks at
it-andL Land-they both look at one another!'
Immense applause; ladies all hurrahing for

~ The Commissioners appointed by the
Ontario Government to report upon Niagara
Falls, last week completed survey of the
property required for park on the Canadian
side of the river. The ext step in the labors
of the Commissioners will be to appraise the
value of the land, after which report will be
sent to the Legislature. 1t is expected that
the Ontarian Government will be able to pur-
chase the property on more reasonable terms
than that which was bought by the State of
New York. As the price will be subject to
arbitration, there can be no possibility of a
failure to secure the land required for the
park by the refusal ON the part of the owners
to sells The charter obtained some time ago
permitting railway to be laid down along
the Falls on the Canadian side, has fortu-
nately proved abortive for the purpose in
tended, and it is now certain that its provis-
ions will not be carried out. The Canadian
authorities do well in following the lead of
our own public spirited citizens in securing
their side of the great cataract as public
pleasure ground for all time.

CLEVELAND'S TRIP.
No More Changes Until His Return
From the Mountains.

From the Mountains.
WASHINGTON, Aug president
Cleveland will leave the capital next
Wednesday or Thursday on his pro-
posed absence from his officil post for
rest and recreation. After the funeral
of Gen. Grant he will go to the Adiron-
dacks, back of Plattsburg, and, while it
was not so stated, he will doubtless be
the guest of Smith M. Weed, at least
for portion of the time. Colonel La
mont will accompany the President
from the city and will remain with
him until his return.
The departure of the President with
out filling certain offices will cause
much dismay among the numerous
aspirants who are still here, hanging
on to the ragged edge. The President,
in conversation with friend, not only
repeated that he had finished making
changes for the present, but that he
had made about all the changes hepro-
posed to make, except in the routine
of business. The places which have
been allowed to remain will doubtless
be utilized later to pacify some disap-
pointed and influential factor in the
campaign. The District offices are in
cluded within this category.
A gentleman who is in a position to
look little into the future, politically,
says that from all he has gathered from
various sources and from comparison
of notes, he thinks he has grounds for
the statement that Col. Lamont, the
Presidents private secretary, will, at
the time most agreeable to the Presi-
dent, be appointed Marshal of the Dis
trict of Columbia, to succeed Col. Nc
Michael, of Pennsylvania. AS soon as
the pressure of appointments shall
have passed the President can give his
faithful secretary this promotion, with
larger emoluments, without inconven-
ience to himself. AS Marshal Colonel
Lamont would still be constantly near
the person of the President, as the
duties of the chief of the office are
somewhat kindred to those of cham
berlain at court. In support of this
theory it is said that had the President
intended to appoint Gen. Farnsworth
or any other New York friend he would
have appointed him before this The
other offices are held in allegiance,
awaiting action on the Marshalship.

Three of our Ex-Presidents died on
the Fourth Of July, and the summer,
indeed, seems to have been a fatal
season for these eminent men, eleven OF
whom died during June and July.
Looking back upon the first seven, all
this number were sixty-six years of age
on leaving the PRESIDENTIAL Office, with
but one exception. or the first five
only one had son, and that son be-
came President. Two of the number
left only daughters Jefferson and Mon
roe), and three, though married, were
childless, their names being Washing
ton, Madison and jackson. Two
bachelors have occupied the Presiden-
tial chair, but large proportion of the
number have been widowers.

~ Some of the Presidents visitors were
lamenting the possibility of cholera vista
ton the other day. Mr.. Cleveland said:
"Don't alarm yourselves needlessly. For my
part would not mind if there were two or
three cholera cases now in front of the White
House. guess they would scare Off the Of
fceseekers." 1t is remembered here that
when, during Mr.. Lincoln's presidency, there
was case of smallpox in the White House,
Mr.. Lincoln said: "All right-now let the
officeseekers come-let them come freely; I've
got something to give them at last"

THE VICTIMS LAST HOURS.
The condition of the sufferer remains
unchanged. He is all the time con-
scious and rational. The priest comes,
the wife enters, and we, the watchers,
step from the room. When the voice
of the priest is raised in prayer the
dying man becomes composed and
peaceful. The violent struggling
ceases, the paroxysms and convulsons
come no more, and l Involuntary
looked through the window, expecting
to see that death had come. Full
fifteen minutes pass, and when the
prayer is ended the hydrophobic victim
gently takes his wife's hand, draws her
to him, kisses her, and says: Good

recommences, and the scenes already
described are repeated from every three
to five minutes. And thus the ,night
and the greater part of the next day
wore away.
At three o'clock in the afternoon the
legs of the man seem as though para
lyzed. He ceases to struggle. We are
obliged to tie his hands from him, for
he is inclined to bite them. His mouth
opens and shuts firmly, as though he
were swapping. He is now entirely un-
conscious. Little by little there issues
from his mouth white froth like clean

COWN ~ ] oEAs
] know not what its course may be
Down from the mountain to the sea:
The spring know, alone and still,
Where bubbles forth little rill
The clear, brown streamlet well know,
And how its hurrying waters flow.
At first the grasses turn to make
A softer runnel for its sake;
The careless buttercup looks down
And sends petal to the town,
AS, whispering to the happy day,
The brook sets forth upon its way.
Farther, bright pebbles line its bed
And CLEAN and glance beneath its tread.
It rushes through the alder shade
Nor loiters for the open glade.
Down swift cascades it flies and sings
Shakes the white spray in airy wings;
Then, plunging, with deepened roar
Through the cleft rock its waters pour. =
The solid basin far below
Is followed wide beneath its flow.
Here for a space it stops, to gain
New volume for the open plain.
At length, full-swelling, broad and free,
1t sets serenely toward the sea.
Beside the green, dark pool wait,
Stayed by thy warning hand, O Fatel

The sirens song within my ear;
Nor NAV, for me, the motion stay
That rolls the river on its way.

Down from the mountain to the sea.

Lies weltering ocean-wide to-day.
