Tasted Fifty-thre Days.

A dispatch from Racine, Wisconsin,
says:
John Zachar, the Caledonian faster,
after an absence from food for nifty
three DAYS. has at last been induced
TO eat. his story is most remarka-
BILE one and, although much has been
said about il, the true reason for his
wonderful fast was not positively
known until to-day. Some time dur
ING last March or April Zachar and
his father had some difficulty i'll refer
ence to wages or distribution OF
property. This so worked on Zachar $
mind that he became morose and evil
IDENTITY led him to undertake to starve
himself. The enlargement OF father
and son was complete, for during the
entire time of the fast Zachar's father
never visited him nor even inquired
after his health.
An old friend of the family learned
the facts and arranged for meeting
between father and son, which took
place Yesterday. The two talked long
and seriously over their difficulties
and finally matters were settled. Then
Zachar declared that he would eat
and endeavor to live. Accordingly
he was given few spoonfuls of milk,
although he did not retain it, and at
intervals during the afternoon took
milk with pulverized crackers in it.
This did not seem to give him any
pain. but he could not retain a parti-
Gle of the food.
He seems unusually bright and
feels certain that he will live. Zachar
presents Il revolving appearance. He
has not shaved since he commenced
his fast and his hair and beard hang
down over his face. He is terribly
emaciated, being reduced from $50
pounds to 80. His eyes are dull and
heavy, the lids dropping down over
them as though there was not sufficient
strength to hold them up. He reminds
one of person in the last stages of
consumption. His skin is dry and is
like parchment, while his bones pro
trude prominently from all parts of
his body.
In reference to the new turn taken
by the case local physicians say that
it is probable that with proper care
the patient will live and ultimately
recover his wonted health. The local
profession do not look upon his fast
as an absolutely genuine one, insisting
that he must have taken substantial
nourishment, because it would have
been absolutely impossible for him TO
have lived so long. Those who have
been with him constantly say he has
taken no nourishment for fifty-three
DAYS

The Policy of the Two Parties Contrasted.

The New York Herald says: The poll
cies of the two parties can be very
simply stated. If you want to be
taxed as you were during the war, if
YOU think it good thing to work
hard all the year and then to have
the government come to you and say,
II ONLY need ten dollars TO pay ex-
penses, but I'm going to take twenty
and Congress will easily find some
means to squander the extra ten" if
YOU want the people divided up into
two classes, an aristocratic, capital
istic class, which absorbs everybody's
business and swallows everybodys
profits, and poor class to do the
drudgery without any hope of ever
lettering their condition, then you
will do right to vote the Republican
ticket. That party is a party with
tendency, and it is tendency toward
an aristocracy, tendency 70 crowd
the laborer TO the wall and to pin him
there forever. If that is your idea
of free institution all right, go ahead.
You must do your own business Ill
your own way.
The Democratic policy is to reduce
taxes to the low water mark of federal
economy. When the government
wants money let it ask for it, tell us
what it proposes TO do with it, and if
the people think the object Is
worthy one they will pay up; but if
they don't think so they won 5pay up.
Neither the President nor Congress
has the right to lean against treas
urv with one hundred millions of the
peoples money i'll it and then do as
it pleases, with the classic remark,
Oh the public" No, the public
run this country, President, Congress
and the whole concern, and it hash
resigned. and doesn't propose TO.
If the taxes are too high, lower
them. In doing this, if you are com
PEELED to take the tax off of clothing
or off of whisky, the party that chooses
the clothing is the peoples friend, the
party that chooses the whisky, is the
peoples enemy. If it is better TO have
an overcoat than glass of rum, then
YOU know how to vote, but if you
have any doubt whatever, look into
the faces of your wife and children
and that ought to settle it.
Yes, it's TO be a campaign of brains,
and if the Democrats will feed the
people with facts they need have no
fear of results.

Cowhidinq a Clergyman.

The wife of the Rev. James Basil
Thomas, prominent minister of
Graft, a small town in Kentucky, has
thrown the community into an uproar
bv cowhiding the Rev. Banda West.
The latter is Methodist divine, and
the cause for her action was number
of slanderous stories that have been
circulated about her of late. One of
these connected her name with that
of certain DR.. Dupuy, who was said
to be paying her Unnecessary visits.
This report was emphatically denied
by her friends, but finally it came to
the ears of the lady herself She
started out to trace the SANDER to its
source. and found its origin in the per-
son of the Rev. Mr.. West Mrs. Thorn
as then prepared to avenge herself.
Armed with a cowhide, she waited on
the street for Mr.. West Sunday morn
ing. and, meeting him at a corner,
gave him severe beating. At last,
after twenty or more lashes had been
rained upon him, he could stand it no
longer, and made flying leap, jump
ed through the gate, and ran into a
house. The report of the cowhidmg
spread quickly, and the lady was soon
overwhelmed with congratulations.
The whipped minister swore out a
writ for the lady, and in a short time
the verdict was rendered, amid trium-
plant shouts of staunch citizens, OF
Not guilty. and the reverend gen
tleman, Inundated and disgraced,
left for parts unknown, and has not
since been heard from.
