Republicans are now industriously circulating
the following: "Four months from the day of
Grover Cleveland's Inauguration as President,
every national bank in the United States will be
closed"
The Democratic listener bells over with wrath.
Then comes the explanation: -Four months
from the 4tb of March is the 4th of July, upon
which day all national banks are closed"
Said an old residents lone of the early school
teachers in this city was Josephus Cicero Wor-
rail- think he was an Irishman, typical peda-
gogue of the olden time, who believed with Solo
mon on the rod question. Among the boys who
attended Worralls school was Berry r. Sui
grove, then of the tender age of ten years. One
day, for some prank, Berry was laid across the
old gentlemans knees. tho base of his short
| trousers frightened and ruler in sturdy hand
began to shower down punishment. Much to
the surprise of the school this was not accom-
panied by any vocal effort from young Suigrove.
We noticed a strange working of the teachers
visage, quickly changing to a keen expression of
pain, and then the ruler dropped, and Worrall,
with howl of anguish, jumped to his feet Ber-
ry had simply stuck his milk-white teeth into
the pedagogue's leg and each blow he had re-
ceived assisted him in his laudable endeavor to
bring them together"
eyes, said Gen. (. S. Foster s'Gen. Don
Carlos Buell. was one of those Democratic
generals who couldn't get it out of their heads
that slaves ought to be returned to their owners.
Now Gen. F. w. Lander was not of that sort. 1t
was while he was sick, only few days before he
died, that was called to sec him. 1t was when
the order to return slaves to their owners was
in force. The brother of Admiral Semmes had
lodged complaint that one of his negroes was
in the camp of the Thirteenth Indiana AS a
matter of fact DR.. Foster of my regiment, had
the colored man. Lander was a profuse swearer.
On this occasion he swore with more than usual
excellence and vigor, denouncing niger stealing
at the same time keeping up the most astonish-
ing winkingI ever saw in my life. Semmes was
given permit to look through the camp, but
the darkey had had sufficient warning. and the
rebels search was fruitless.n
COL zollinger, of Fort Wayne we'll known
here, is thought to have the best chance of
any one outside of this city for the position of
Pension Agent under the incoming ad-
ministration. He is the most adroit and
luckiest politician in the State. He started
out as Republican sheriff of Allen county, and
secured his denomination and election on the
Democratic ticket for the second term for that
Office. He then was elected mayor of Fort
Wayne which place he now holds and has held
for five or six consecutive terms.

Said physician to the reporter: "One of these
days the services of Acknowledgement Carnahan
will be appreciated Four years ago, when he
entered upon the duties of his Office there were
three companies of infantry in the State that
were available as troops; now there are thirty
six we'll driled, fwell-equpped companies of
militia. The defeat of the militia bill will re-
| suit in the disbanding of nearly every company
in the State within six months after the adjourn
| ment of the Legislature. The two companies
| that went to South Bend to quell the riot saved
the State at least half million dollars. If we
have no militia it may be that an unqueled
| riot will happen, and then Legislator Patten
and other statesmen will be convinced that they
made mistake"
