THE POLITICS

of Circievilie and Pickaway county, i, OF
the latest approved, most unterrifed. red
hot Democratic. The erring brethren have
large majority in the county, and now,
that the national politics has given them
The post Offices and such other crumbs as
may be dropped from the Washington crib,
they have more political love making than
has been known among them within the
past quarter of a century. Just at this time
however, the Republicans are clouding their
county prospects, so mewhat, by the charge
and declaration, that they will prove the
charge, that there is an uncompromlsing
ring In the county, that reversed the order
of giving contracts TO the lowest bidder,
and have ad opted that of giving to the high
est bidder among the faithful. They charge
that the Commissioners have missappro-
priated over four thousand dollars of the
Soldiers Monument Fund Tor some pet
bridge money making scheme TO enrich the
pockets OF ring members. Hard shelled as
the Pickaway county Democracy are, such
schemes to flch money from the taxpayers
makes them ieel like precipitating a great
defeat on the spOils man lgers of the ring.
Like in Juniat a, the great bulk Ci the tax

politicians under she lead Of Governor
Hosdly, are bidding for he liquor vote,
thinking that by advocating a temperate
temperance, the liquor men will vote with
them, and that Republicans who believe in,
and practice temperate temperance, but
who do not believe that it is Dntural sin

goadly may make up bis mind that he is
counting on a delusiye phantom. That bait

A story Of Old Army Shoes.

Chicago Inter- Ocean.
"The old army shoe, . said q slen-
der, dark-haired man, twas great in
stitution. / have pair at home that
| have preserved, not as mementoes
. of any loag march, but as landmarks
in venturous life. 1t was a custom
among the poorly shod Confederate
troops to remove, after a battle, the
shoes from the dead Union soldiers.
This was not done in any spirit of
vandalism or heartlessness. The
shoes were taken off to supply men
who had much marching to do in in-
clement weather We simply changed
old, worn-out shoes for good ones
worn by those who fell in battle. On
one occasion | took a pair of nicely
polished No. 6's from the body of a
man who must have been in life a
model soldier. ] had worn these
shoes with great comfort through the
four or five remaining days of activi-
ty incident to the battle, before / had
any opportunity to examine them
carefully. When we were again in
permanent camp and were allowed to
remove our cartridge-boxes and shoes
at night, | made thrilling discovery,
or rather | was greatly startled by a
discovery that made one morning
as | took up the shoes to put them on
On the under side of the flap, or
tongue, was written in O clear, round
hand, my own name. / was conf
dent that had never written it there,
but there, on both shoes, were my
initials and my family name, and |
had taken those shoes four days before
from the feet of a man killed in battle.
The inference was / had stolen the
shoes of a man related to me in some
way. | could not put them on.
walked in my stocking feet to the
commissary department, secured a
pair of new shoes, and / have the
other shoes yet. The affair troubled
me for long time. / had no oppor-
tunity for making satisfactory in
quiry in regard to the man who bore
my name, but in due time | did learn
that there was no family relationship
whatever. He. had come to this
country from England, and had been
in this country only a few months
when the war broke out He enlist
ed through a spirit of adventure, and
was the means of giving bis rela-
tives definite information as to bis fate.
The only Evidence | bad bearing on
points in which they were interested

A Girl at the Front Gate.

st. Louis Magazine.
Heaven bless the girl at the front
gate with peach bloom on her cheeks
and love light in her eyes. Men
would shut her out of our literature,
but am not one of them. The girl
at the front gate can never grow old
to those who have been there with
her. Years may come and go, but
the music of the low voice at the front
gate will not be stilled, and the mem
ory of the cherry lips we kissed at
the front gate will hold out faithful to
the end. What if the old gate does
sag and its hinges rattle and its latch
refuse to hold it shut? What if the
posts are shaky and some of its pick
cts gone !? We love the dear old relic
still. We love it for the sake of the
girl who used to stand out there by
1t with roses on her cheeks and nee
tar on her lips. We held the old gate
up and counted the stars and bid good
bye and then counted the stars again.
How many times of night was good
bye said How many times did lips
meet o'er the old dear gate? The old
gate knows, but it viii never tel. -
The old front gate may have counted
the kisses, but / never did. And l
am sure that the girl with the peach
bloom cheeks never did. And what
of the girl with the peach-bloom
cheeks? (? All, me she married anoth-
er. She forgot her vows at the old
front gate, as some girls will, and
married q richer and handsOmer man.
And 4? Well, | went of to another
front, gate where there were other
peach-bloom cheeks and other lips as
sweet, and just as many stars to
count. And now / have q front gate
of my own, and a girl of my own
with peach-bI0om cheeks who counts
the stars with the boy of the girl
whose VOWS made with me at the first
front gate were broken. But he is O
true. good boy, and my girl is a good.
true girl, and Heaven bless them both
as they stand tonight at the old front
gate.

At a meeting of the Homeopathic
Medical Society, at the Ophthalmic
Hospital. New York. four papers
were read which were devoted to
cholera. Drs. LilienthaI, Ball, BeIch-
er aud Hallock all spoke highly of
camphor as remedy, especially in
the early stages of the disease In-
stances were given in which extraor-
binary doses had been taken with ex-
cellent results. DR.. Lilienthal said
that when an epidemic of cholera
was raging in Europe, on one occa-
sion, 1000 people, each Of whom car
ried camphor In bag suspended
over the chest, escaped the disease,
although exposed as much as others
who died by the score.
DR.. Schley counseled the people to
avoid excess in labor, food and drink,
and exercise He said that the drink
ing of brandy, iu the hope of avoid
ing diarrhea would be especially bad,
but for person accustomed to mod
crate drinking to stop entirely would
be bad also.

THE WHEAT PROSPECT,

The Average Condition of the WheaC
Plant as Indicated by Reports Received
at the Department OF Agriculture-A sep
ieus Falling OF in the Prospective Crop
WASHINGTON, D. c., April ll.-Ihc
crop report issued by the Commissioner
of Agriculture yesterday says: Inc re-
turns of April to the Department OF Ag-
riculture indicate u reduction OF over TEN
per cent. of last years area IN winter
wheat. The aggregate shortage amounts,
to 5000, 900 acres. a decrease Is report
ed in every State except Oregon. It is p
per cent. in Kansas and Virginia, 20 In
Mississippi, 10 in California, II in Ala
bama, ID IN Tennessee, Illinois and Mis-
sour; Ii in New York and North Caro-
lima; 10 in Maryland and Texas; III
New Jersey, West Virginia, Kentucky
and Indiana; Z in Georgia and Ohio; 8 IN
Pennsylvania and Delaware; in Ar
kansas, and 2 in South Carolina.
The present condition of wheat, as re-
ported, is worse than 1888. 1t Is seven
| ty-seven per cent, against ninety-six last,
year aud eighty in 1883. In 1881, the
year of the lowest per cent. rate OF yleld,
| the condition on April lst was eighty
FIVE per cent, and the serious loss was.
/ sustained afterward.
The real status of the crop will be bet
ter shown a month hence, when the vital,
itv of the roots has been demonstrated,
and the character of the spring deter
mined. On the present showing the re-
duction of yield on the basis OF last
years production promises to be nearly
40, OOO, 900 bushels on account OF reduced
area, and more than 60,00O,OO0 bushels
from Winter-killing and low vitality.
Whether the crop will exceed 400, 600, 900
bushels or fall short OF it, de-
ponds upon the reliability
of present appearances, and on future
conditions affecting growth and rlpenlng.
The soil was in bad condition at the time
of seeding on the Atlantic coast from New
Jersey to Georgia, and in West Virginia
and Tennessee. 1t was better in the
Southwest and in Missouri, illinois ano
Michigan. In the Ohio Valley it is scarce
" in a medium condition, though the
damage by the Hessian fly was not Sc
we're. 1t was worst in Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas, where injuries nave
occurred to three-tenths of the reported
territory.
The acreage of rye has been decreased
in about the same proportion as wheat
but the condition of the crop is decidedly
better, the average being eighty-seYeI
per cent.

MAssAcRED BY INDIANS.

White Settlers at Frog Lake, Northwest
Territory, Killed by Indians-More Trou--
BILE Expected From the Same Source.
WINNIPEG, NAN, April 10.-Word has
lust been received from Battleford of the
massacre of white settlers at Frog Lake,
northwest OF Fort Pitt. The following
are the names of the Victims: l. l.
Quinn, Indian Agent; John Delaney,
farm instructor; George A. Lantock and
wife; Father Taford and Father Lamar
shand, priests, and two other men whose
names are not learned. 1t is not known
what has become of the Cameron & Hud-
son Bay Company's agent. Word was.
brought from Battleford yesterday by w.
Ouinn, nephew of the Indian agent, VINO
escaped. that the wire between Battleford
and Clark's Crossing has been lying, on
the ground and the circuit was estaD-
lished for short time, allowing mes
SAGE to come through. It is statedin the
same message that Battleford is sur
rounded by thousand Indians but no at
tack had been made ON the barracks. In
dian Agent Rea has not been killed as re-
| norted. A Hudson Bay officer has
| lust received intelligence by way OF Ed
monitor aud Calgary, that the Saddle
Lake Indians have raided the Government
warehouse at that point, and gone to join
the rebels. They have also received a
cipher message from Prince Albert, dated
March 31st, which states that the country
is being secured for provisions, and ask
ing for supplies. The dispatch states that
ali the Indians are quiet, except the Sioux
and fifty Crees, who had joined
the rebels. The Indians on Frog Lake
Reserve are all Crees, and number about
two hundred. There was Roman Cath
olic school for Indian children at Frog
Lake, which was in prosperous con-
/ dition last summer. That this massacre
has been the work of Frog Indians alone
does not seem probable, as they, have
hitherto been quiet and well behaved.
1t will be remembered that as late as
the end of last December Big Bear, with
his band of one hundred South Crees was
at Fort Pitt agency stirring up the loca
tribes 1t is not improbable that ne may
be the leader in the uprising in that 10
cality.
