 found secret way to indulge in
 pleasure. How much better if ps- rents and preachers would show and lead the way and encourage ration al method. I am church member, and consider that l do no wrong when I go with my young daughters to little dance, or take them to the theater to enjoy play, or play game Of casino with them. The lat ter game, by the way, is a most ex- cel.ent and amusing way to teach counting and addition. 1 never want to feel that I have driven my children away from home to seek the amuse- ment that they require. So should all parents feel. ,. NICK, +.

LIE democrats were caught nap.

THE democrats were caught nap ping in the election in the 34th hi nois senatorial district for asuccessor to Senator Shaw, deceased. The democrats have a clear majority in the district Of over 2000, and as the republicans made no nomination and offered no fight, the democrats thought they would have a walk over. The republicans with charac, teristic shrewdness instituted still hunt. and at a given hour late in the afternoon turned out enmasse and cast 200 or 300 more votes than the democrats. It is charged, however. that a great many illegal republican votes were cast, and contest will ensue. If the republican be seated the tle so long existing in the Hi nois legislature will be broken, and the republicans will be able to elect a United State's senator.

"X's" Apology.

Correspondence of the Democrat.
 The article which appeared in the the DEMOCRAT of April 30, handed in by .'X'' was clipped from a sermon preached by Rev. Mir. Hall, a noted minister of the Christian church of St. Louis, against the popular amuse- meats of the day, among others the modern dance. Ks" object was to show, 1st, the position of the Chris tiaE church, it having been asserted that it dId not oppose dancing ih the cit,es; 2d, that the tendency is evil. There could have been no construct ion placed upon the article which would have been further from the one intended by ''X," than that put upon it by "Pine Hills"
 If "Pine Hills" is correct in his broad assertion with regard to "Re- publicans" then he or they must be republicans of the deepest dye. As our article was limited to Russell vile, we will treat his in the same manner, but mus. say that, although some of our most intimate friends are republicans, we find them to be as high minded, honorable people as will be found in any community.
 Demetrius raised conspiracy against Paul at Ephesus because Pauls preaching intcrfered with his pleasure. So "Pine Hills" would stir up combination against edi- tors, preachers, church members, and everybody else, who are so unfortu nate as to oppose any Of his pleas ures, and would denounce them as cranks, thieves, hypocrits, seound- reis, and many other vile epithets, of which his vocabulary seems to be full, and to use winch one must lay aside his dignity as a man.
 The fact that he could not make a dignified reply, but resorted to vi tuperation and false accusation shows plainly that he felt his to be des perate case, and could be sns- tained only by prejudiclng the mind of the young against the church.
 So far as being "contemptable seoundrels' is concerned, we are will hng that the people among whom we have been raised should decide who the "contemptable scoundreP' is in this case and while we make no pretence to being good" still are willing to have our moral character compared with that of "Pine Hills, |" and have no fears as to the result.
 We know not whether "Pine Hills" is a confessed champion of dancing, but if he is, we submit it to an intel ligent community, is the tendency to good or evil, and will say to our young friends in the the language of ''one who spake as never man spake, !" Blessed is the man who walketh not in the council of the ungodly," etc. And as to the apology we are due them { the young gentlemen and ladies who attend dancing scheol) j.: will say that we oppose dancing from pure motives knowing its teD- dency. They are our daily associates and know full we'll that we would not for any consideration cast slur upon any of them. May our tongue cleave to the roof of our mouth IT ey-

was the crowd, and jolly good look ipg crowd It was in forsooth.
 The first thing of note that we struck was Little Rock, and It IS ad- mitted by all that we gave it terri ble blow. Here allow us to break the rules of composition and lay aside our cognomen obscurity. and Individually, and for the crowd ex- press our sincere thanks te an MD. of RusseIlville, who was raised among the HILLS, for the courtesies extended and for the trouble taken to add to our pleasure while in the City of Roses, and that we are under three hundred and eleven obligations to him but will make child's bargain that if he don't tell we won't. After some experiences ill the Capital City which will be long remembered by tue participants, we journeyed on ward to the Crescent City. When we reached there of course we took in the sights with silent amazement and utter bewilderment, but Of that we will say nothing. We soon found out that our note books would not contain the Exposition and they were utterly discarded The boys went to West End to put on aristocratic airs. and if all reports be true they played high hand. Being of vc- racious nature they first appeased their arlstocratic appetites with one dollar and forty cents Delmonico dinner. Water was served the boys in high style and they say they cast many wish l knew what-it IS look at their glasses before they dared touch them. When waiting ceased to be bearable, Monroe being more bold than the others and hay ing faith in his nostrils not betray- ing him, tired smelling of the water to see what it wasl He says the way to tell New Orleans water is to smell of it.
 It is reported that while boat riding on the lake storm came on, the waves dashed highland all looked dark and desolate to the boys and they did not know but what each moment would be the last that James bethought himself of his girl at home and could not resist the tenn ptation of taking her picture from it's sacred place near his heart to take one last lock at 1t. Ask Henry. Such love is undying and will have it's reward
 We were told to neither tel 1t in the streets of New Orleans or pub llsh It in the paper at Russellville, of the many enyious thoughts of tue boYs of Frank (who was surnamed the "Arkansas dude" for the ruth less way in which he trampled upon the girls hearts while they could not subdue one. Frank seemed to be a regular Masher from Baskerville. The boys say they have seen his counterpart in the monkey show. Revenge is sweet.
 The bootb.acks were the terror of terrors to us all and would sshine'' us whether we would or not. For further particulars send stamp for reply. I Our crowd should vote "Jumbo'' thanks for his kind and almost fath- erly care over us fedgelings, and know the boys will promise not. to be so bad any more if they have good success in securing forgiveness fer what they have already done. Fur ther deponent will not tell save that the boys did many other things which if it all were written l don't suppose the DEMOCRAT itself would contain the writings. There is one consolation we might have done a little worse. CATO.

 Farmers are well up with their work: corn looks we'll; considerable improvement in wheat; oats looks very promising, farmers generally done planting cotton; the fruit pros pect is tolerably good On last Friday morning 8 very large black bear came into the calf lot of Esq Stout, about two miles north of At kins, and was trying to catch a call for his breakfast, but before he had completed bis job was discovered by some of his family. Of course the excitement run high, some Of the neighbors gathered in with their dogs and guns and pursued him closely for several mics; finally Bruin was brought to stand still by the hounds on the top Of Srow mountain. Messrs. Long and Stone and others who were in close pursuit fired on him and killed him. He was very fat and weighed when dressed 360 pounds. Joe why didn't you send us mess. Miss Ann Dollar, who has been very sick for two or three months, still fingers with but little hopes of her recovery. The family have our heartfelt sym pathy. On last Thursday morning a little two year old child of '. 5. Clifton while playing with fire while it's mother was out milking. its clothes took fire and burned of be- fore the mother could get to it. The little sufferer only lived about five hours. We sympathize with the family in their sad bereavement.

ON the night of May Slh tbe New York county democracy held large meeting and adopted resolutions, "Commending and heartily endors- ing the administration of Grover Cleveland" The resolution says:
 "The conduct of public affairs since hls inauguration has been in marked contrast with the violent partisansllp which for SO many years characterized the republican admin istrations. His fearless and honest consistency, his varied experience in the administration of public affairs; his acceptance of aud devotion to the principles of true Democracy, afford a sure guarantee that thls Admluis tration will bring to the nation the inestlmable benefits of intelligent and honest government, and will re- fleet honor on the party that elected him to office. We tender to Grover Cleveland at all times assurance of the jealous and cordial support of the New York County Democracy.
 Resolved, That in our judgment, subject to the provisions Of existing laws, all pubhc offices now vacant, and such as may become vacant, should be filled by the appointment Of such Democrats as may commend themselves to the appointing power, by capacity, integrity, and by the record of their services, and of their faithful adherence to the principles of the Democratic party
