An American Editor at Gravlo,te.

Editor Murat Halstead was at GRAY
lotte in 1870, and saw as much Of that
battle rs any one could see. He said
that it was all smoke and confusion,
however, to an unpro-esslonal mind.
It was difficult to tell what was taking
place. While he was waiting about,
Bismarck came along, riding with our
Phil Sheridan. Halstead called out to
Sheridan to tell him briefly what had
taken place. Sheridan did not recog-
nize him until he had taken off his hat,
and then he said:
"Hello, Halstead! What are you
doing down here?"
Halstead replied in an of-hand way,

thought it might be INTEREST," g."
At this word Interesting bismarck
burst out laughing. III that is not an
American way of putting it," said he.
$50 YOU think it is interesting" and
again he laughed.
Bismarck treated him very politely
after Sheridan introduced him, but he
would not give him permission to buy
o horse, and the editor, footsore and
weary. had to make his way as best he
could to the nearest railway station.
Mr.. Halstead had a number OF IN
teresting experiences during this war.
He said that he used to be arrested
about thirty times q day. He never
had any difficulty with the higher Ger
man officials. From them he always re-
ceived courtesy and attention, but
from the subordinatrrA he never re-
ceived anything but iOHviiity and dis

A N GO BEHIND THEM.

There is great intensity of the physical
condition sometimes, aid there are facts
which we cannot 20 behind. In ~illustra-
ton further of facts which settle the points
of a prompt and permanent cure, the 1ol-
lowing cases are cited: In 1884 Mrs. Mary
K. Sliced suffered terribly with chronic
neuralgia. She writes from ITO Maryland
Avenue, Washington, ID. C.. In the first in
stance she states; Il suffered terribly with
neuralgia i'll the face; very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders; suffered
intensely. Tried st. Jacobs Oil; had parts
well rubbed at night; in the morning al
pain gone, magiraIiy." June 10, 1887, she
writes from 22l Eleventh Street, S. w, as
follows: "Four years ago | sent you a vol
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
l had been a great sufferer with neuralgia III
my face, neck and shoulders. ! obtained a
bottle Of St. Jacobs OH, and after three APP
plications [ was entirely relieved from all
pain, and from that time to the present l.
have never had a return. The elect WAS
miraculous" Again, Feb. 6, 1887, Mr.. Etd
G. Troll, st. Louis, Mo, writes: an March,
1881, | suffered terribly with neuralgia; had
suffered nearly three years. Applet st.
Jacobs Oil at S.15 A. NJ; at $40 took the
rag oft; at 8 A.. NJ. vent to work. In less
than five minutes after that the pam was
gone; The one application cured me. nave aW
not had return OF it since" Mr.. e.. w.
Spangler, York, Pa, June II, 1887, writes:
Years ago had neuralgia; am not subject TO
it now. The cure by the use OF st. Jacobs
Oil was permanent. There has been no re-
currence of the painful affliction." ll1as.
w. Law, Jr., PottstoWn, Pa, April 10, 1887,
writes: WAS troubled for years with neu-
ralgia in neck end head. Tried st. Jacobs
Oil; had tried different kinds of remedies
without effect. One bottle of the former did the
business. No return Of pain and aches" In
most every instance the reports are the same.

THE GREAT FALLS.
Some Tragic and Dramatic In
eidents at Niagara.
Suicides. Strange Accidents
and Remarkable Escapes.

Falls have been very large. On one
occasion a maa leaped from the bridge, |
1872 feet into tle current, and is sup.
posed to have died before reaching the
water. For so feet he fell like a
plummct. He then began to turn over
and dropped apparently ~iifeless on the
water. A woman who committed sui
eide tested the current by throwing in
her parasol before gathering her skirts
together for the plunge. In another
case q man calmly. undressed aud went
into the flood, strongly and deliberately
swimming to the gildy verge. A brave
swimmer tried to rescue him, but the
man who sought death sped EDWARDS to
it with rapidity on seeing he was fol-
lowed. He was soon where it was not
necessary for him to put forth
another stroke. Ths torrent caught
him, and he was at once be-
yond help. On one occasion there was a
double suicide, the couple being a mid
dlc-agcd man and m Strange acct
dents arc also reported. Alady stopped
to pluck a flower ON the brink of the
Table Rock and was picked up dead
from the rocks below. Another lady
stopped for a cup of water, lost her
balance and was out of reach and over
the falls almost before her amazed hug
band knew what had happened.eI In 1875
a very strange and foolish accident oc-
Cured. An engaged couple went behind
the Falls, into the Cave of tho Winds
without a guide. The lady actually
sought to battle in a pool which even the
guides never visited. Her lover lost his
life in endeavoring to save hers. One
very pathetic and dramatic incident is
recorded. A young man caught up, a
charming child, who was watching the
tumbling waves. "Now, Lizzie"
he playfully said, 81 am going
to throw you into the water"
and he swung her backwards and for
wards. The child screamed, struggled
and slipped from his hands. lie gazed
after her, and, realizing what he had
done, leaped into the torrent. Rescue,
of course, was hopeless, and he persisted.
Remarkable escapes have now and again
been recorded. One was that of a
murderer. The sheriff was close behind
him, the river in front, and only the
wires-of the old bridge at Lewiston to
help him across. Hand over hand he
began the passage. his hands quickly
blistered, and then they bled. Again
and again be rested his arms by hanging
by his legs. AT length he reached the
opposite bank, and lay parting full an
hour before resumiug his flight.
On one occasion a painter
was at work on Second Sisters
Island, when he fell into the water. He
was carried towards the falls, and when
only forty feet from them caught on
a rock. After a time of terrible anxiety
be was saved by ropes manipulated
from the shore. A boatman was being
hurried along towards the rapids, when
he threw out a little anchor he had with
him. It seemed like playing for his
life with grim death as he heard the
anchor bump continually against tht
rocks without grounding. At length
his fearful anxiety was relieved by 1t:
catching a grip, but all night through
the boatman was tossed about while hi
held the anchor rope. When morning
dawned he was saved by those on shore.

year by Year:

We didn't observe any material re-
duction during the two years that the
great and good democratic Governor
Begole occupied the executive chair.
The truth of the matter is that the
governor has nothing whatever to do
with the amount of taxes, and any pre-
tense that he has is the sheerest kind of
demagoguery. Neither is one political
party any more responsible than an
other for the rate of taxation. Appro-
priations for public uses have not been
partisan measures, but have received
the approval of republicans and demo
Gratis alike. The claim made by the
democratic nominee for governor, that
recent convert from republicanism,
that the republican party of Michigan
has been eXtravagant i'm the expendi-
ture of public moneys, is unmitigated
nonsense. Without entering into dis
cussion as to whether taxation has or
has not been unnecessarily oppressive,
it is sufficient to say that, the money
having been appropriated by the votes
OF democratic as well rs republican
representatives, the blame, if any there
be, attaches To both parties alike, and
Mr.. BURT couldn't control the matter
even if he should be elected governor,
which he will not.

4 Proud Record.

The record of the republican party is
the proudest record ever achieved by
any party since the foundation of the
government. What has il done? Well,
we will tell few things that it has
accomplished:
1t conquered rebellion, saved the
Union and established peace.
1t gave freedom To n race and free
ballot To all men.
1t was patriotic enough to create a
debt to carry on the war and honest
enough to provide means for its pay
ment.
1t made liberty universal throughout
the Union and the flag honored over
the entire civilized world.
1t made treason odious and loyalty
the badge of respected citizenship.
1t raised the nation from bankruptcy
and secured for our public credit the
faith of the world.
1t made person and property secure
in every part of the land.
1t dignified labor and secured its just
reward by judiciouS tariff legislation.
Itgave to every American citizen the
right to possess free home simply for
the taking.
1t reduced the public debt and the
interest thereon by wise and just legis-
lation.
1t reduced taxation as literally and
steadily rs the state of the country
would permit.
1t showed its respect and love for the
gallant defenders of the country by en-.
acting liberal pension laws.
1t reduced public expenditures to the
lowest limit consistent with public wei.
fare and collected revenues from the
sources best able to pay it.
By its fidelity to the trust reposed in
it, by its constitutional amendments
and statutory enactments, both federal
and state, by the life and character OF
its heroes and statesmen, orators and
martyrs, by its traditions, and by its
matchless history of promises made
and fulfilled, il has fully proven itself
competent, worthy and able 20 achieve
the great things yet to be accomplished
for the glory and good of the American
people.

The suggestion of the NoRrHERNER

The suggestion of the NoRTHERNER
that the Judge of probate ought to be
Learned i'm the law" is ridiculed by our
democratic contemporary, the Courier,
which suggests that our lawmakers
never thought or considered such IA
qualification To be necessary. Perhaps
not; we don't pretend to know what
they thought. Certainly, they never
required the probate judge to possess
such qualification; neither did they
ever require that circuit Judge should
have any legal knowledge, but even
the Courier itself would hardly expect
to see that office filled by good bust
ness man" who had never studied law,
and yet the title to all the real estate in
the county is far more likely to depend
upon and be affected by the decisions
of the probate court than by those of the
circuit court. Perhaps our law -makers
neglected to provide that either one of
the judges of those courts should be an
attorney at law because they expected
the people would exercise good judg-
ment enough not To elect a judge who
had never studied that which he must
necessarily administer when called
upon to preside over either the probate
or circuit court. The NoRTHERNER is
of the opinion that they will exercise
exactly that kind of good Judgment.
4 Ii lnf 81
probate judge has to do is to look
after the interests of the widows and
orphans and that in just such a way
as his sympathy, benevolence and good
ness of heart may dictate, all of which
may sound very fine, but is not true by
any means. While the NoRTHERNER
insists that Mr. HECKERT is as much of
a gentleman rs it admits his opponent
To be, il also believes that his education
has fitted him to discharge the duties
of the Office far more acceptably than
anyone who has not had such education
could hope or be expected To do; it also
thinks that he is just rs capable, willing
and ready to "look after the interests
of the widows and orphans of the
county rs his opponent could possibly
be, and that they would receive just rs
kind and gentlemanly treatment at his
hands. As Mr.. HECKERT is certain to
be elected, he will have ample oppor-
tunity To prove that the derogatory
statements his opponents are making
against him are utterly baseless and
! false

SPEAKER CARLISLE told his constitu-
ents that he is not in favor of freetrade,
and he isn't; that is, he don't favor
freetrade for Louisiana sugar, South
Carolina rice and Georgia marble, but
he does favor freetrade for Michigan
salt, Wisconsin lumber and northern
wool. One hundred per cent duty on
rice, nothing on salt; siXty-eight per
cent duty on sugar, wool free; protec-
ton for the South, freetrade for the
North; that's Mr.. CARLIsLE's platform,
that's the MILLS bill, that's democratic
doctrine 1t may result in solid
South; it is quite as likely to make a
solid North.

Those Tax Receipts.

Look at your tax receipts, said the
Detroit Free Press Il few days since
Look them over carefully and see
how, year by year, the figures have
swelled and the slice of your income
enlarged" Well, we thought we would
take the advice of the Free Press, and
did. We are not blessed with large
share of this worlds goods, but have a
modest home in our beautiful little
town, built in 1875, and we thought we
could make as fair comparison of the
taxes on that as we could if we owned
the best farm in the county. We looked,
not because we thought our taxes had
become burdensome, but because our
curiosity was excited; and this is what
we found To have been our total taxes
