IA. LINCOLN, his dog" The old sol
diers all have vivid memory of that
phrase, although quarter of century
has elapsed since it was applied to
them. The fact that they remember
the insulting epithet SO well causes them
to greatly enjoy the castigation admin
istered the other day by Senator
INGALLS, to its author Mr.. VOORHEES,
says he didn't say it-no doubt he wishes
he hadn't-but there are yet living
numerous witnesses who are willing to
testify that he did and that they heard
it. Times have changed since the "tall
sycamore" advocated secession and
disunion. He would now like to be
classed with those who put down the
rebellion, and tries hard to make him
self think 1--WE did it."

JUDGING from the disgraceful dis
closures made by the wife of ex-Mayor
THOMPSON of Detroit, concerning the
late independent party of Michigan, in
her application for divorce, the repub-
lican party was really gamer by Mr..

law, Mr.. CAMPAU, administered to him,
the other day, what appears to have
been well deserved drubbing. How
pleasant it is to see democratic leaders
exhibit such spirit of harmony, broth.

AS the time for the opening of the
political campaign approaches, candi-
dates begin to show themselves, thus
indicating that the woods are full of
them. The NoRTHERNER has no fears
but the republicans will nominate all
good men and expects that they will all
''get there as usual, and will do its

result.

scarcely be made amiss. The demo

he is not little too fat to be awarded

season Of 1885,
Bay Wilkes,

A fast son of the Mighty George Wilkes,
record 2:22. Dam, Red Eye by Boston,
(sire of second dam of Maud s., 2:OS and
of jay Eye See, 2:10) Second dam by
Revenue, by Trustee, the first horse
who trottcd twenty miles less than one
hour.
BAY WILKES is one of the finest look
ing horses i'm the state, and his colts are
of the very highest finish; are all about
16 hand horses when fully matured;
nearly all bay and trotters. He has
three colts in Kentucky that have au-
thenticated trials rs follows:
Hot Box, as a four-year-old, 2:27
BILLY WILKES 2:A
ASHLAND MAID -2:31t
These are out of lot of five colts; up
TO 1885 he never made season i'm the
stud, and had to that time only five liv-
ing colts, as good showing as any stall
lion in the country can show.
BAY WILKES is 15f hands high and
weighs ITO pounds; his colts are good
for the track, farm, carriage, gentle
mems drivers, or any other use you
may wish. At the fee propose to let
you use Bay Wilkes he costs you no
more than the inferior class of horses so
numerously offered to the public. A
Bay Wilkes colt ut three or four years
old is worth not less than $500, and up
to $1,000. Never before had the farm
ers of Van Buren, county and the state
a chance to use such great horse as
Bay Wilkes at the low fee of S25 90 for
the season.
BAY WILKES is one of the surest foal
getters in the country. Will stand at
the subscribers barn in Paw Paw. Re-
member that Bay Wilkes is the only son
of the Great George Wilkes owned in
any of the following named counties:
Van Buren,, Berrien, Cass, st. Joseph,
Calhoun, Eaton, Barry, Kent, Ottawa,
Muskegon and Allegan. He is young
and as sound as new silver dollar,
best disposition of any horse ever saw
A good note due i'm six months, with
out interest, will be taken as pay for
the season services. Should the mare
not prove in foal in 1888 can be returned
free in 1899.

The Fiddler Die d at His Post.

LANCASTER, Pa., March 22.-Henry Mil finger gave a party at his home on Big Island, in the Susquehanna river, opposite Whitaker's station on the Columbia and Port Deposit railroad. Patterson McCar- dell, known far and wide as ''the fiddling man, indeed," furnished the music, and the people danced until midnight The old fid- dler drew the bow in the iveliest fashion early in the evening. Later on he com plained of feeling sick and lay down. When the party broke up some one tried to wake him, thinking he was asleep, but the man was dead. A coroner's jury pronounced the cause of his death congestion of the brain. For fifty years McCardell played at nearly every party along the river in this and York counties He was a great favorite among the river men who run their rafts to Peach Bottoms

STARTLED MAGNATES.
Brilliant Display of Natural Pyrotechnics
 at the Capitol.

WASHING TON, March 22.-Yesterday after noon a tremendous thunderstorm broke over this city. The first peal of thunder followed close upon inding flash of lightning, and sounded like the discharge of thousand can- non. Both houses of congress were in session at the time The lightning struck the eastern side of the lofty iron dome, ran down the girders and off into the concerted court yard, where it killed horse standing by the curb and overturned the cab to which he was har messed. A thin, gittering ribbon of lightning entered the senate, ran once around the cham Der and disappeared through the press gal lery, following the line of the telegraph wires, and burning out all the connections of the Associated Press, the United Press and the Western Union.
 The telegraph wires on the house side were also destroyed, and the batteries burned out. With the first flash of lightning the electric lights were extinguished throughout the build ing, and balls of fire ran over the wires. There was general stampede from galleries and cloak rooms. Probably the most startled man on the floor of the house was Bourke Cochran, who with the first peal jumped at least three feet in the air. Sunset Cox was also pretty well shaken up.
 The storm burst over the White House while the president was holding his usual tri- weekly reception. There were about POO per sons in the East Room at the time, the ma jority of whom were ladies, and the violence of the storm, with its accompaniments of thunder and lightning. caused a temporary commotion among tue ladies and children. The reception was not interrupted, however.

KENTUcKY's MISSING TREASURER.
The Joint Committee of the Legislature
 Recomm nds His Impeachment.

LOUISVILLE, March 22-The judiciary committees of the senate and house, to whom was referred the matter of the dedication and flight of State Treasurer Tate, ill joint report to the legislature yesterday recom- mend Impeachment The report says that the suspension of the state treasurer by the governor does not vacate the office, and that impeachment is the only constitutional means by which the absconding treasurer may be removed and his place made vacant.
 Conservative reports place the amount of the deficit between S125,OOO and S150,0O0. More sensational dispatches place the sum far above these figures, one placing 1t at Sl97, 600, and crediting Expert Samuels with the statement that it will probably reach S5OO,- GOO. Some startling develop nents are prom ised when the private papers of the treasurer are looked into. It is said that these docu- ments will show loans to various high off cials, among them being S5,000 to an ex- judge of the court of appeals. It is said that more than one knew of Tate's financial straits, and they helped get him into trouble.

The Tramp is a Fraud.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., March 2a.-It turned out yesterday that the story told by the young Scotchman Mackenzie, that, instead of being tramp, he was the heir to a large fortune, was pure fiction. He still wants to marry Emma Johnson, the farmers daughter who cared for him when he appeared at the farm house near here, half starved to death, and he invented the story to secure the fathers consent to an early marriage. The girl is not bit daunted, how ever, and says she will marry him whether he has fortune or not. Her father is equally positive that she shall not, especially as Mac kenzie owes him money, and has run up bill against him for his wedding suit.

They Call it AZoturea.

BRIDGEPORT, March 22.-A new disease seems to have struck horses in this part of the state since the blizzard of last week. Horses that were stabled and fed on oats for four or five days and not exercised at all are the only ones affected. The symptoms do not show themselves until the horses are taken out and put at regular work, when the muscles of the hind legs contract and the an imal becomes paralyzed. In many cases the disease proves fatal, and veterinary surgeons assert that when horse is severely attacked with it he may as well be killed at once. The disease is called azoturea
