MIDDLETowN is afflicted with two repub- lican daily papers and suffers much in con sequence. Everything would be lovely but for the fact that Editor Afford of the Her aid and Editor Bent of the, Journal, both want to control the Republican club At present the Journal holds the winning hand, but the Herald is not to be blnffed and opens the campaign this wise: .. .-.,
 Bartlett Bent and A. Putnam. (ex-collectop are practically at the head of the republican club. ft1 % - Bartlett Bent has led the republican party of this town to a magnificent defeat for the past twenty years.
 Bartlett Bent says: The laboring man be d|d. I can purchase their votes when want them.'
 Bent and Putnam have done more to corrupt politics in this town than all the rest of the citizens in this town.
 il''There are 500 republicans in this town who would much prefer to have the democratic party in power than to see either Bartlett Bent or A, Putnam again in public office.'' st5 sss hi
 Republican politics in Middletown will be exceedingly interesting when the weather gets g little warmer. Neither the Journal nor Herald are papers of the Sum day school variety and we fear will call eech other hard names before the cruel war is over. "Sick lem Afford; sick lem Bent. ?

HUNTING FOR FIGHTING JOE"
Confederate Soldiers Roaming at will ii
 the Village of Gettysburg.

Confederate Soldiers Roaming at Will in
 the Village of Gettysburg.
 When the streets of Gettysburg had been cleared of all armed bodies of Union sol diers, the Confederates began to roam about at will, sightseeing and foraging. At 8 house, closely barred, party of these inde- pendents halted and began to reconnoiter. Unseen from the street the owner was watching from an upper window, and soon he heard his name used in way very uncer- emonious The door plate revealed the name, and che of the Confederates, who was Ger man, amused his companions by spelling 1t out, Tyson, Tyson" Then he added, stWonder who he isp' and, going to the door, alarm the house. The manner of the men seemed so good natured that MT. Tyson opened the door and invited them in to try his excellent water, for they all looked warm and exhausted, After drinking heartily the German spoke up again and said:
 "Where is Joe Hooker? We're after him and we mean to have him if we have to go to Philadelphia for him"
 At this hour the streets were filled with carts and wheelbarrows, and excited men and women bearing trunks and bundles and leading frightened children; mothers with babes in their arms in the throng, all hastening out of reach of the soldiery, the bullets and the shells. Officers in gray rode up and down warning the people to remove women and children to places of safety, as Lee was about to shell the town. It was g. trying moment, but Tyson would not be scared or cajoled into revealing anything. He didn't know "Joe" Hooker any more than he knew Lees humblest private, but he had his garrett full of Union soldiers who had been cut off in the street, and he decided to be a knownothing, and send the scouting Confederates away as ignorant as they came After listening to a few of his blind answers the spokesman agreed to be satisfied with some bread and butter and clear out and seek for "Fighting Joe" elsewhere. There was fresh baking of bread in the house, but Tyson did not know what panicky times might follow, and he knew that his blue coated wards up stairs were hungry; so he put on a long face and declared that he had just had a visit from party of Confed- crates who had eaten up about all the pantry contained, and there really was not enough left now to begin on." The true hummer never expects to live high on route that has just been travelled by others of his kind, and these unfortunate fellows took the burghers word for gospel truth and went away in peace, ... .... r-.-.t...-. s.s z s-.z.I .s!sE

Something About Radeau.

Badeau was born about the time Andrew Jackson was concluding his first term. He was 30 years old when the war broke out, and after it had been going on for year he volunteered, and was appointed an aide on the staff of Brig. Gen. Thomas Sherman. It was from this position that Grant took him and made him his military secretary, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and afterward colonel He retired from the war at it's close brevet brigadier, and it was through Grant that he was made secretary of legation at London. He was employed by Grant here, at Washington, and he accompanied Grant on his tour around the world. It was through Grant that he got to be consul general at Havana, and he has been. mixed up in some question as to his right to certain salaries which he had drawn. So far, all of his off cial positions came through Grant 54z #
 His literary position he acquired in the same way. It was through Grant that he got the material for his "Military History of Ulysses S. Grant," It was through him that he got the experience that enabled him to write the works on the aristocracy of Eng land, and it was through him that he made money out of his letters headed Grant in Peace" To show that it is true it is only necessary to cite the other things which he has written, which have attracted no notice whatsoever Badeau published in 1859 a book called "The Vagabond," collection of essays which you will not now find even ill second hand book stores, and his "Con- spiracy; 8 Cuban Romance" published in 1885, has hardly had national circulation. a
 The truth is that Badeau has become great by the reflected light of Grant, and the att tempt to make out Grant an ignorant, un- grammatical writer, and 8 man unable to write the book which he left his children, has fallen flat, as far as Washington is concerned. It may be that Badeau was not treated rightly in the settlement of the contract which he had with Grant, but he has un- questionably injured himself greatly in stat. ing the case as he does. z.-,4-t-, 5. ,-z s.,1-5.
 Gen. Badeau is very ready writer, and he writes well. He is 8 very pleasant conver- sationist, and his round, red whislzered face, his short, stumpy form and his pleasant blue eyes are we'll known in Washington. He has been spending the winter here, and it is a matter of regret to his friends that he has become involved in the present controversy. Even were he correct in his statements he would have trouble in proving them to the satisfaction of the people, and he has entered into a controversy in which he is handi- capped at the outset, and into which he will get into more trouble the further he goes. There is no doubt in the minds of the leading thinkers at Washington that Grant is the author of his own book, though he may have received some of the advice and the assistance which Gen. Badeau could, from his famili- arity with the subject and his knowledge of literary methods, so easily give.-Frank G. Carpenter. '-, .alzE -.s e:.

Statistics Concerning Tobacco.

1t is not without reason that it has been said that you can prove anything by ~statis- tics Under Louis XVI, for instance, the tobacco tax only produced COG, ,O0O francs, be cause the consumption was small. At that time the average duration of life was twenty seven years. Now the tobacco tax produces 300, ,OOO, ,OOO, and the average duration of life is forty three years. Redskins, who suffer neither from diabetes nor from pituite, have always the calumet between their lips. The Persians, the type of Caucasian purity, say that "all joys come to the heart through to- bacco." Where do you find such handsome old patriarchs as among the Turlssa Yet in their country the pipe is kept alight as re. ligiously as Vesta,s fire in ancient Rome In those climes the strongest mark of emotion that one can give is to take ones pipe out of one's mouth.-New York Commercial Adver- tiSer,

 Wrote President Grant in his message of 1874: sThe introduction, free of duty, of such wools as we do not produce, should stimulate the manufacture of goods requir- ing the use of those we do produce, and therefore would be benefit to home pro- duction."

''So would any woman who loved the man" remarked Stockton instantly; ''that is, if I understand a woman's nature cor rectly." This is the first time that Mr Stockton has given the public any inkling as to correct answer, in his mind, to the famous question which he placed before the world some years ago.
