THE Democratic party of the country
put Grover Cleveland in office and those

cautiously, but this government should
be run by the Democrats for the next
four years to a dead moral certainty.

There are some eight or ten families
that want TO come to this town, but are
kept away because there are no houses
to rent. 1t is singular fact, but never
theless true, that within the past year
no building has been done of any
consequence. Hence the houses are all
occupied. If some OF our citizens who
have got their surplus money in the bank
would take it out and invest it in real
estate it would be more profitable to
them, and besides help the town little.
OF course no town can prosper unless its
citizens have some push and get up.

the hog ordinance there was lively
racket Of course. Now in a we'll regu-
lated municipality like this there is hard
ly ever any necessity for the fathers to be
interfering with the swine, but when
some fellows turn more hogs loose
on the town, than you can find for five
miles square in the country, then it is
time TO call halt.

The Late Incr Stone.

From brief biographical sketch of the late Lucy Stone, by her daughter, Miss Blackwell, We quote the following:
 "Lucy Stone was born on a farm near West Brookfeld, Mass, on the 18th of August, ISIS. Her great grandfather fought in the French and Indian war; her grandfather was an officer in the revolutionary war, and afterwerds captain of 400 men in Shay's rebellion. Her father was a prosperous farmer, much respected by his neighbors, but fully imbued with the idea of the right of hus- bands to rule over their wives, as were most men of his generation.
 Her father helped his son through college, but when his daughter wanted to go be said to his wife: "Is the child crazyi' The young girl had to earn the money herself. She picked berries and chestnuts and sold them to buy books. For years she taught district schools, studying and teaching alternately. She soon became known as a sue StsSlul NedCneT.
 At the low wages received by all women teachers, 1t took her until she was p to earn the money to take her to Oberlin, then the only college Tn the country that admitted women. Crossing Lake Erie from Buffalo to Cleveland, she could not afford a stateroom, but slept on deck on a pile of grain sacks, among horses and freight, with few other women who, like herself, could only pay for a 'deck passage"
 At Oberlin she earned her way by teaching in the preparatory depart ment of the college and by doing homework in the ladies boarding hall at three cents an hour.
 Her first public speech was made during her college course. The col ored people got up celebration of the anniversary of West Indian emancipation, and invited her to be one of the speakers.
 She graduated in lS47, and gave brothers cnurcn at atF6btfir 6bt lliestei1re tShe. Soon after she was engaged to lee ture regularly for the anti-slaverv society. Her adventures during the next few years would fill a volume.
 She had determined never to marry, but MT. Henry B. Blackwell a young hardware merchant of Gin cinnati, who was fully in sympathy 1 with her work, promised to devote 1 himself to it if she would marry him, and she did so in 1855, at her | home in West Brookfeld, the of l tclatlng clergyman being Rev. T. 1 W. Higginson, then pastor of a church in Worcester, who went i thirty miles to marry the young couple, because no minister could | be found nearer than that who would leave the word obey" out of the service.

Polit. Peopl. of st. Jean de Losp..

For town to be mentioned partic- ularly on account of the civility of its inhabitants is no small honor. Philip Gilbert Hamerton thus dis tinguishes the village of St. Jean de Losne in his book, ''The Saone." |" When it rained, they invited him into their houses, an attention which he entrusted favorably with the rude ness of the people in a northern city. He says: T went into a cafe and found myself unable to pay for what I had taken, so explained my case to the lady. owed 5 sous and pos sessed but 4. Having paid all but the last sou, was leaving when by accident I discovered just 1 sou in another pocket, which enabled me to clear myself of debt. Then the lady said:

STORY OF A FAMOUS RACE.
Fast Time Made by the Rival Boasa Lee
 and Nnich.r Ir, Ha,n

faat Time Made by the Rival Boats Lee and NatcheE In 1870.
 One of the most famous races was that between the Natchez, Captain Leathers, and the Robert E. Lee. Captain Cannon, which occurred in 1870. The race had it's origin in a spirit of rivalry which had existed between the two captains for a long time. Each having built what he considered the fastest boat. nothing but trial of the speed of the two would satisfy Captain Leathers, so he sent Captain Cannon word to get his boat ready, as he expected to pass him under way. Every possible prep aration was made by Cannon on the Lee for a genuine race.
 All surplus weight was removed |; spars, lenders and the doors from a portion of the cabin, as well as tho sash from the pilothouse-in fact, everything that could be dispensed with which would cause resistance was removed from the boat. even to portions of the fore and aft bulk heads in the hull and the splash bulk heads. Nothing was left undone to have the Lee in perfect condition, while, on the contrary, little or com paratively nothing was done with the Natchez to prepare her for the race.
 Tosu itupin few words. Captain feathers and his engineer were too sanguine of winning the race, or, in other words, they overestimated the capabilities of their boat, and at the same time underestimated the Lee. Just before the boats left port Captain Leathers and one of his pilots went down to the Lee tosee if her hull was greased, as reported. and while view ing her he was recognized by one of the Lees firemen.
 The two boats left New Orleans June 30, 1870. The Lee was B min utes in advance of the Natchez, and for the first three hours there was no perceptible difference in their speed, but about this time the Lee suddenly began to widen the space, and when they were seven hours out from port she had distanced the Natchez IS minutes, and they were running a fraction more than r miles an hour. When 10 hours out, the Natchez gained minutes on the Lee, but after this the Lee gained steadily un- til the end of the race, and when Cairo was reached the Lee was 1 hour and 14 minutes in advance of the Natchez.
 The Natchez gained some after Cairo had been passed, and it is prob able that, had it not been for fog, she would have reached St. Louis very close to the Lee. As it was, how ever, she was 1 hour and 20 min utes behind. The Lee arrived at St. Louis at 10 20 o'clock on the morning of July 4, 1870, having made the trip in the phenomenally short time of days IS hours and 14 minutes Louis Republic.
