Four Fights With Lightning.

In Deckertown, " J., lives Mr. E,
S. Coykendall, who has had four
tussles with the electric fluid and has
come out alive from each encounter
with the hghtnings stroke.
Some fifty years ago a fearful
electric storm visited that section,
one bolt shattering the house of Isaac
Coursen into n thousand fragments.
Mr.. Coyke 1dall, mere lad at the
time, was living in the house. He
had retired, and becoming frighten-

response to the call when the bolt
came aud they were both killed.
The boy was found unconscious
The bolt had struck him on the fore
head, crushing the skull and parslyz-
ing every fibre of his being. 1t was
necessary to remove a portion of the
skull An old Spanish twenty-fi five
cent piece was inserted in place of
the bone removed, and in due course
of time the I'D fully recovered

horseback near the village when there

thrown from his horse as if struck

The fourth and last racket he had

FROM the Philadelphia Bulletin
President Cleveland has sent a check
for ten thousand dollars to the
Democratic National Committee and
consequently there is great rejoicing
in the Democratic camp This is
twenty per cent. of Mr. Cleveland's
annual salary, and for n man who has
but little beyond that salary may be
regarded as very large contribution.
1t shows plainly that the President
IS anxious about the matter of his re-
election, and that he is not unwilling
to have plenty of money spent in
order to keep him in his Office.
There will now be no excuse left for
any Office holder to whom a Democrat
ic Committee may send request for
money. What the President has
done all other Democrats in Office
down to the humblest tide waiter
will also be expected to do. If he is
willing to give twenty per cent of
his salary they ought not to grumble
if the National Committee and the
StGte Committee and the City Com
mittee each ask them for a two per
cent, or a five per cent or ten per
cent. contribution In view of what
the President has done, what idle
talk it is to say that the officeholder
is no longer obliged to assist the
political committees 1t is true they
may not receive circulars demanding
the money in so many words But
it is possible to make a demand in
smooth and adroit fashion that will
be equally as emphatic rs if the
language were '.stand and deliver,
The President has set the exampls
and woe be unto the Democrat hold
ing Federal Office that declines to
follow it.

Their plans contemplated the manu-

THE New York Mail and Express,
of a recent date remarks: In the

Of our free trade contemporaries, It
is asserted that the democrats have
great hopes of the Nutmeg State,
because of the activity Of Prohibit
onists chiefly. 1t is asserted, also
that the Methodists Episcopal Church
is being used as a political lever
many of its preachers being among
the most pronounced prohibition
workers, and telling their people that
conscience and religion will not let
them vote for a party of free whiskey.
This is q very serious allegation
against a great church We cannot
believe, in the first place, that any
conscientious Prohibitionist would
condemn the Republican party for
putting into it's platform a condition
al assent to the repeal of the inter
nal revenue taxes, while the Prohi-
bitiou platform demands that repeal
unconditionally. In the second
place, we cannot believe that Chris
tian ministers would use their posi-
tious as ministers for political pur-
poses, and try to make of the Me
thodist Episcopal Church the organ
OF political party. There are no
doubt many Prohibitionists who are
Methodists, Just at there are many
Methodist Republicans, and possibly,
here and there, Methodist Demo

faces this morning turn from the
contemplation of material wealth to
the thought of those things that are
higher and better. Not long ago q
distinguished Englishmau and jurist
visited our country. On the eve of
his return in public address he al
luded to the fact that wherever he
went he was asked whether he was
not amazed at the great size of our
country. This student of law and
government very kindly,s but very
decidedly rebuked this too prevalent
pride of bulk and called our attention
to the finer and higher things that
he had observed in our American
civilization. So to day, as i look on
these intelligent faces, my thoughts
are turned away from those things
that are scheduled, that have their
places in our census returns, to those
things which belong to the higher
man, his spiritual and moral nature.

the rich farm lands of your country

first school of good citizenship; it il
the great conservative and assimilat-
ing force 1 should despair for my
country if American citizens were to
be trained only in our schools, valu

the home that we first learn obe-
dience and respect for law. Parental

we learn to love. iu the mother that
bore us, that which is virtuons, con-
sscrated and pure. 1 take more pride
in the fact that the Republican party
has always been the friend and pro
tector of the American home than
in aught else. By the beneficeut
homestead law it created more than
half million of homes; by the eman-
cipation proclamation 1t converted a
million cattle pens into homes, and it
is still true to those principles that
will preserve contentment and pros
perity in our homes.
