of sneaks and scamps who came into
this country impersonating soldiers.
They came as thieves and stole all in
sight, and then they burned the towns
and ravished the women. These are the
plain, boneless facts; and why, if they
are not facts, do not those Northern
papers, so watchful. apparently, of
Cleveland's interests, deny them success
fully? However, Cleveland wrote his
record clear on this pension business.
He kicked the beggars out of the back
door and into the middle of next
summer. And Dixie proposes to give
him another chance to repeat.
THE GRAVEYARD RABBIT"
New York Tribune.
The first real encouragement after all
comes to the Democratic headquarters
from North Carolina. Mr.. Stevenson,
the Democratic candidate for Vice
President, who is stumping that State
with great ardor and arousing consider
able enthusiasm by statistics concerning
the State debt of twenty-five years ago,
has received bv mail from Mr.. ]. E.
Uzzel, of Raleigh, the left hind foot of
a graveyard rabbit, which in North
Carolina is an omen of good luck" The
dispatch containing this infor nation
adds that "Mr. Uzzel guarantees that
if it is accepted Mr.. Stevenson will carry
the State by 10000 majority" Though
no mention is made of the head of the
ticket, we presume Mr.. Cleveland is in
cluded in the guarantee. For it would
be manifestly unfair if Mr.. Stevenson
should carry this "left hind foot of a
graveyard rabbit" in his pocket from
now till election for his own special
behoof without regard to his partner.
Cleveland, as is now well known, has been
fishing all summer at Buzzard's Bay
with "hell-grummets" at 5 cents apiece,
and it is confidently predicted by Mug
wumps from other States that he will
carry Massachusetts by large majority.
And that, of course, includes Stevenson.
Now, though the, word is unpopular,
there ought to be, and no doubt is, reci-
procity between these gentlemen. They
are working together. Cleveland will
carry Massachusetts by means of "hell-
grummets" and Stevenson will sweep
North Carolina with ''the left hind foot
of a graveyard rabbit" Each for the
other, and both for what there is in it.
At headquarters this is considered
altogether the most hopeful sign of the
campaign. What the canvass was wait
ing for, the inspiration it lacked and
longed for, was .'tbe left hind foot of a
graveyard rabbit" The shell -grummet"
was well enough in its way; very at
tractive bait in the neighborhood of
Buzzard's Bay, and, used in connection
with the New York Worlds rear view
of Mr.. Cleveland in the stern sheets of
a catboat, quite effective in arousing the
Mugwump mind to high pitch of en-
thusiasm. But it was merely bait, and
not an "omen." What was wanted was
an "omen." Everything else was work
ing fairly well. Mississippi persons had
struggled into headquarters and stated
in interviews, which were Immediately
printed, that everything was looking
well in New York. The gifted Harrity
had issued "Congratulatory Address
to the People of the United States" on
the circumstance that notwithstanding
Maine and Vermont had elected Repub-
lican State officers and Legislatures and
members of Congress, there were still
Democrats enough in those States to
stand up and be counted. Carl Schurz
was preparing nine columns of printed
matter to be printed in full in the Times
and the Eoening Post, and condensed
into few paragraphs in the Sun and
the World. Senator Hill was likewise
preparing speech of similar length on
different lines, to be printed in full in
the Sun and the World, and diligently
condens in the Times and the Eoe1ling
Post. The left hind leg of the off mule
was in fair way to be put in a sling.
Measures were on foot to put "Peck" in
the penitentiary. In many respects the
goose hung high. And yet there was a
deep feeling in all hearts that something
was lacking. Something that Amos
Cummings could not supply from his
literary bureau, nor Bourke Cochran
with his eloquence.
1t was "the left hind foot of grave
yard rabbit" When Mr.. Stevenson start
ed South to tell the Southern people in
his large-hearted, dsinterested way the
dreadful things that would happen them
if the party which has been in power
most of the time for thirty years and
more was not put down, no one dared
hope that he would come back with 1.-The
left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit" in
the left hand breaches pocket of his best
| trousers But he comeS-lOl the con-
quering hero come5-with the greatest
trophy of the campaign. And to j. E..
Uzzel, of Raleigh-name never to be
forgotten-name to be canonized with
Thomas Jefferson and General Jackson
belongs the glory of having acquired
it and sent it "by mail" Never mind
how. Never mind from what grave
ward. The "omen" is secured. Now
| light the torches! Fling out the ban
ners! With "the left hind foot of a
graveyard rabbit" in his lert-hand
trousers pocket man can fill bobtail
flush, "draw lanyard to shoestring,"
or elect the whole Democratic ticket.

A Girls Experience in Lighthouse.
Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep
ers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand
Beach, Mich, and are blessed with a
daughter, four years old. Last April she
was taken down with measles, followed
with dreadful cough and turning into
the fever. Doctors at home and at
Detroit treated her, but in vain, she grew
worse rapidly, until she was a mere
"handful of bones" Then she tried DIR.
