THEY ATE DOG.
Tho Outcome of Queer Cincinnati
 Election Bet

Election Bet.
 From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Ihs mornlng after the election, while the result was still in doubt. Tom Hines. Vine street cont.uc- tor, III company with Jim Flynn, also conductor, entered Paul Hartmann's place in very enthus- iastle franc of mind. Hines car. rled ayoung dog under his arm which he had picked up on the street and named "Cleveiand. :"
 "This is Democratic dog" ex. piai''ed Hines to Ben Sanftle ben, the barkeeper. "Ile will soon be Republican deg.9 retorted Ben. "Harrison is elected" "If Harri son IS elected" returned Hines bringing down his fist in emphasis. "l'll eat that dog" Al! right sad Ben, eff Cleveland k elected Fl eat that dog myself Flynn wrote out the agreement and Hines and Sanftlchen posted forfeit.
 Atterward Hines disputed the ac- curscy of Fiynn's version ot the wager, and, as the other party to the agreement was equally positive and unyleIdiag. it was left to Flynn to decide who had lost. With Solo mon-like wisdom he declared that both should eat dog or pay forfeit.
 I hey assented 70 this, each thisx. ing that the other would be the first 10 give in.

DALZELL ON DECK.
Tie Private Makes Tangent Reply to
 His Critics.

ALL 7" hbfb, o., ASOF. &H.-oiHcc you published my letter last week about the Grand Army of the Re public being Republican machine, l have already received number of letters, friendly and otherwise, from many comrades. F. these beg space enough in your paper to rep! y once for all and savo deal of postage money aud "en scratch Ing.
 To the comrades who agree with me, and thelr name is legion, my only reply Is. "Shako, boys. Didn't 1 always say so?"
 But to those who criticlse me se- verely 1 may be permitted to longer reply. l find these divided into two classes: First, those who con fidentlalty admit to me that my premises and deducations are on- l tire] y correct, bat question the pro priety of making them public at thls time; second those who deny utterl y that the G. X E. has any politics in 1t ana denounce me in terms of more strength than de. cency.
 Now as to the first class, whose opinions eSteom highly, and for whom 1 have the warmest traternal effecuon, l would reply to their gentle criticism in the best ot humor, and yet not multiply words. when merely dlsmss them and their comments by saying thatI know of 10 policy of eoncealmentin in matters of public interest.
 And besides all that "Honesty Is the best of policy" I cannot lie,
 To the second class, for whom have no respect whatever, sud who are either hypoerites or ignora. muses, my answer is even blunter yet. Thc tree is judged by its i fruits. The only fruit the G. A. R. bears Is Republican votes and Re publcan offices. Fms, l contend is all right. Ne .lve tho Demo. cratic comraae ti,e right hand of ] fellowship, but would ho more vote for hlm than bo would vote for IF.

Ef thought the Democratic party couil use the c. \. l.. l woHli never aNnar the badge agnin-never! 1t has but Two du ties 10 perform, namely, h rrepetu. ate the power of the i}epablisan par ty and diylde the treasury surplus among its mcnbefr.

This is Alpha and Omega, well understood and clearly expressed in all our con tracts ever since the war.
 One of my critics thinks he squelched me entirely by propound- Ing to me the question:: "Where Tn tue printed rules and regulations of the order do you find authority for stating that the Grand Army of the Republic and the Republican, party may bo put by motonymy, one for the other, and that they are the Royal Radical Twins of the Republic?'

 It was not written in our laws that the order WAS to be used to elect Giant, Hayes, Garfield, Log an, Harrison. That would not have heen good policy. It would have kept Democrats out.

We have charity. doar friends, and help each other when we can. ard all that, but when It comes to pollt ics, and long pull, and a strong pnll and Il pull all together. the Re- publican party has always known where 10 find the Grand Army.

there were but half adozen agencies in the

matter OF fact, however, II Is quite easy 10

town LAS one or moro dealers who carry a
low grade Of dynamite, such rs the one m
question, the stuii being a iayorito with
the farmers for the purpose Of clearing
stumps and boulden from their fields.

RACINE, Wis, July l2.--John Zachar,
the Calcdonan fasteg after an abstinence
from food for iifty-three days, has at last
been induced to eat. His story is most
remarkable one, and although much has
been said, the true reason for his wonder
ful fast was not positively known until to-
day. Some time during last March or
April, Zachar and his father had some diff
ficulty in reference TO wages or distribu-
ton OF property. This so worked upon
Iachar's mind that he became morose and
evidently led him to undertake to starve
himself. The arrangement of father and
son was complete, for during the entire
time of his 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 Iachar declared he would
eat and endeayor TO 1--we. Accordingly he
was given few spoonfuls OF milk, al
though he did not retain it, and at inter.
walls during the afternoon took milk with
pulvcrizcd crackers in il. This did
not seem to give him any pain, but
he could not retain particle
oil the food. lie seems unusually bright
and feels certain that he will live. Zachar
presents revolving appearance lie has
not shaNcn since he commenced his fast.
and his hair and beard hang down over his
face. lie is terribly emaciated, being ~.
duced from $50 pounds to ninety. His
eyes are dull and heavy, the lids dropping
down over them MS though there was not
sufficient strength TO hold them up. lie
reminds one Of the last stages OF consump-
ton. His skin is dry and is like parch-
ment, while his bones protrude prominent.
ly from all parts OF his body. In reference
TO the new turn taken by the case. local
physicians say that il is probable that with
proper care the patient will live and ult-
matcly recover his wonted health. The
local profession do not look upon his fast
~ an absolutely genuine one, insisting that
lac must have taken substantial nonrish-
ment, because il would have been abso.
lutcly impossible for him to have lived so
long. Those who have been with him con.
stantly say he has taken no nourishment
for fifty-thrce DAYS.
