many of the admirers and followers
Of the great soldier who read your
excellent paper:
.."Three or four years ago at the Agri-
cultural Fair at Hagerstown, Md, Of
which Colonel Douglas was president,
the old sorrel was brought on as one
of the attractions He was kept in
stall where such visitors as chose
could see him During one Of the of
hours il was suggested that he be led
around the track. Colonel Douglas
accordingly directed his little nephew,
aged about twelve, who, mounted on
a small pony. was serving as one oi
the marshals. 70 lead the old veteran
around. In due time he appeared,
shambling stiffly, with head down be
tween his knees-a very type OF the
decrepitude and apathy towards
things around which old age induces

his nostrils dilated and his eyes beam

keeping this attitude he started for

stead Of being led took the lead. going
at such a spirited pace as TO draw the
little marshall so vigorously that he

1t is scarcely 10 be doubted that
the familiar strains rolled time back

experience in camp and battle.
This incident is perfectly authen-

to me worthy Of preservation. As the

correspondent from Boston, you can
imagine the sensation created by the
following incident, which occurred at
a very select and formal dinner party
on Beacon street one day last week:

occasion was a young lady from Bal

men at any rate-is not diminished 10y

either side of her at the table were

bestowing her smiles this way and
that with charming impartiality.
Having been introduced To the pair
but five minutes before sitting down,
she had east n spell upon them before
the fifth oyster on her plate was swal-
lowed When the soup plates were
removed they had already abandoned
themselves TO her destinations, and
by the time the roast was on the table
each was hopelessly enraptured.
When the fowl was brought il chanced
that-while the butler and assistant
were out of the room for a moment
the hostess, who sat close by at the
head of the table wanted some salt.

Baltimore girl-"will you hand me

TWILIGHT IN THE COUNTRY.

The ruby sunset fades away,
And leaves a tinted sky;
The robins cease their tuneful lay,
AS toward the south they fly.
The feathery clouds float idly past,
All fiecked with red and gold;
Their radiance over all is cast,
Most beauteous TO behold.
The meadow-lark while soaring high,
Trills forth his sweet goodnight;
And answered by his mate close by,
They take their homeward flight.
The mavis whistles blithe and gay
To welcome evenings hours;
The cow-bells tinkle far away
Amid the fragrant flowers.
The canyon sloping toward the vale
Is filled with rosy light;
The best and rarest art would fail
To paint the shades so bright.
Beside the pearly, ripping stream.
The tangled blossoms grow;
And dainty silvery fern leaves gleam
When gentle breezes blow.
The cypress shadows fall to meet
The lovely changing shades;
And all the air is still and sweet,
Among the quiet glades.
Far in the woods the swallows dart,
And skim the shining stream,
Where creamy lilies love TO part
The waters all agleam.
The restfnl hush that evening brings
Has fallen everywhere
The bat fits past on silent wings.
In twilight's dewy air.
With loving tenderness the night
All sunset shades enfold;
And far above with netted light
Shines glistening stars OF gold.
In pearly skies the pale young moon
Sheds forth its feeble light;
And scattering rays in deepest gloom
Bids all a sweet goodnight.

THE TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS.

No election in our entire political system
can more properly be termed popular cleo
ton than that of township trustees and other
officers. The township is the starting point
and fountain-head of free government. 1t is
local home rule in its simplest and best form.
It is in a sense the cornerstone of our whole
system. In this State there are nearly
thousand townships, and elections will occur
in all of them next Monday, April 2. All the
Offices to be filed have local importance, but
the most important is that of trustee, of
which each township elects one. The duties
of the trustee relate to variety of local mat
tiers, and their proper performance is matter
of greater concern to the people than they
are apt to imagine. 1t would be great mistake
for political as we'll as business reasons, for the
Republicans of Indiana 20 neglect the township
elections next Monday, and the journal hopes
they will not commit THAI grave error
Doubtless, in large majority of the town
ships the Republican candidate for trustee is
more suitable man for the position than his
Democratic opponent, aside from politics,
and should be elected for this reason if no
other. In addition to this the political as
pect of the case is entitled to consideration.
In this township there ought not to be any
doubt whatever about the election by large
majority of Captain Many, present incum-
bent of the Office, over 8. N. Gold the Demo-
cratic candidate. Captain Many has man.
aged the affairs of the Office exactly as the
people want them managed, and it would be
the height of folly to exchange him for rep
resentative of the Coy gang.

THE TALLY-sHEEr CRIME.

Every effort even to indicS the tally-sheet
forgers was blocked by Democratic pressure.
Under the benign influence o. John E. Sulli-
van, one of the indicted men, Democratic
grand jury is selected. Evidence enough to
secure conviction is accessible to them. They
bring in indictments for everything else, but
in their report to the court they bury all the
matters relating to the tally-sheets in silence
as deep as the grave, and Judge Irwin is
compelled to speak to them: II called your
attention to what is known as the tally-sheet
forgeries, and instructed that you should use
al means necessary to fasten the crime upon
those who were guilty. These instructions
you entirely ignored by refusing to go into an
investigation of the case. Had there been an
investigation held, and return even made
that you honestly believed there was not sufi-
cient evidence upon which to indict, you
would have shown, at least, desire to do
your sworn duty. Your silence in the case
must be interpreted as sympathy with crime"
So pointed was the criticism of the Judge
that the Sentinel endeavored to lessen its
effect by stating that he commended the work
of the jury in investigating other matters,
and that he only regretted they had failed to
investigate the tally-sheet cases to which he
had called their attention. The Sentinel
said: Judge Irwin is not at all dspleased
with the work of the grand jury just dis
charged, bat, on the other hand, is highly
pleased with it, with the exception noted"
right place. It was just this exception that
showed the jury's sympathy with crime.
Will the voters of Center township follow in
the footsteps of this disgraced grand jury by
electing to the Office of township trustee a
man who did all he could to make the tally
sheet forgery effective?
