WATERSON'S MENAGERIE.

Colonel Henry Watterson has opened
the cage and exhibited few Waiter
son metaphors in regard to the Ken
lucky campaign. Look!

is upon the ascending, not the descend
ing, scale, and no taSt-and-lOOSe, catch
as yOu-can, U-aS-yOu-pleaSe, SlObbery,

gan to furnish the learning and Jones

to adorn the taii-can ever swallow
democrats enough to carry the day
and to lower the flag! America is still
for Americans. We are not yet re-
duced TO the importation of Chinese
lanthorns in philosophy, and Mexican
methods of calculation. But, if some
of our local statesmen do not have
care they will be completely lost in
the double-shuttle going ON before their
very eyes"
1t may be noticed that Mr.. Black
burns policy is, between periods, lik-
ened to wrestling match, walking
contest, Wandering Willie, a process
sion, AN unholy alliance of Morgan
and Jones, an epilogue and a thing
that is attempting to swallow demo
crafts, carry the day and pull down a

ANOTHER JIM THE PENMAN.

The case of Z. T. Lewis, the Urbana
man who is a fugitive. and stands
charged with the crime of forgery.
shows that Spectator can easily
overreach himself; but the wonder of
1t all is, that he should make himself
liable to prosecution in a case where
detection WAS certain to follow. The
details Of his crookedneSs have not
yet been determined, but sufficient is
known to cause people to marvel tina /
he should so expose himself to detec-
ton and prosecution. Lewis was a
piunger in every sense of that luuch-
abused word, and the past yea did
100000 worth of business on a CAPT
tai of about One-fifth that amount. He
was ambitious to shine as a money
king; but the close growth of legfti-
mate speculation was not fast enough
for him, and it is alleged that he
therefore employed the arts of Jim
the Penman, and forged bonds to or
der which he readily hypothecated
for loans. The consequence is, that
his personal friends at Urbana and
banks elsewhere have been caught by
Mr.. Lewis to the tune Of thousands
of dollars, and nothing in sight to re-
coup their losses.
His art was clever in that the bonds
he sold were genuine, but those that
he pledged were forged, being exact
copies Of the good paper; and in Sc
curing a loan he always insisted that
he be allowed to pay the interest and
collect for the coupons on the bonds.
In that way the holders of the bonds
never came in contact with the officers
issuing them, and two sets of coupons
were never presented for payment.
Discovery finally came in the Highland
county case, when an officer of an in
surance company that had loaned
Lewis ST. 900 ON bonds of that county
went to Hillsboro to make an exami-
nation
The fugitive was one of the leading
miliar with the kind Of business he
was conducting was considered a citi-
zen of unlimited wealth. Born in
Adams county and raised ON a farm,
he came in possession Of about $4,000
some years ago by the sale Of a piece
of coal land, d vein of great value
being discovered ON the small parcel
of land his mother owned, that for
farming purposes was one Of the poor
est in all Adams county. Raised
from penury to affiuence in a single
day, he Immediately began to specu-
late. He made some money, but lost
much more, and then the scheme of
forgery presented itself and was car
ried out to it's legitimate conclusion.
He is now in full flight toward
South America, where no extraction
treaty can reach him, his property in
the hands of creditors, his name, and
his family diSgraced, and he himself
an outcast. There is a lesson in the
affAI tina should impress itself upon
those who keep in touch with the de-
velopments, but it is too apparent to
demand any exposition at our hands

COCKRELL'S WAR GENIUS.
He Believed in the Use of Shotguns
and Prayed Much.

Some people say, remarks eX-Con-
that Stonewall jackson was the one
Puritan soldier of our civil war. They
speak without knowledge. StonewaIl
; was Puritan indeed, worthy to have
charged with mighty Oliver at Naseby,
Marston Moor and Dunbar, shouting,
God with us" but so was Francis
Marion Cockrell. He fought and pray
ed, and prayed and fought, and it re
mains to this day a moOted question
whether he fought more than he pray
ed or prayed more than he fought If
jackson was the superintendent of
Sunday-School at Lexington, Va, Cock
rel was engaged in the same way at
Warrensburk, Mo. He started as
private in April, 1861; he surrendered
as majOr-general during the very
last days of the war. He was a vol
unteer without military training, and
that fact, tx neceSSitate, deprived MIN
of any particular favor in the con-
federate war department, where the
delusion prevailed that no man could
be a great soldier unless he had grad
uated from West Point, which deIu-
sion seems to have prevailed also in
the federal war office. Nevertheless
events appear to indicate that even
with this handicap, had the war lasted
four years longer, Gen. Cockrell would
nave risen to the highest command.
Gen. Cockrell, being a volunteer,
evolved some original theories on war
which are calculated to stun the typl-
cal martinets. For instance, after the
first battle III which he fought, green
as he was in things martial. he would
never permit an army engineer to Sc
lect his line of battle for him. He
said that as the duty of defending the
line devolved on him he knew better
than any engineer what was a defensi-
BILE line and what was not. This may
have seemed presumptuous in a raw
recruit, but his military history fur
nishes his justification
Another thing that he sticks to 10
this day, and which will give the souls
Of the professionals a rude shock, is
that the most effective weapon with
which infantry can be armed is
shotgun. He claims |
that it will discount all the new fam
gled rifles ever made His logic runs
as follows, and to a civilian appears
convincing: One wounded |
man on the battlefield is ever so much |
more trouble than so many dead men. |
The dOuble-ba rreled shotgun is IN |
as a producer of wounded |
men, therefore it is the best thing to |
arm troops with. As a clincher he |
states that in a certain battle in which !
he was engaged when he was a col |
onel two companies Of his regiment
were armed with double barreled shot !
guns, the other eight with Enfield RI
fes, and that when the fighting was
over there were more dead and wound
ed men in front of the two companies
with shotguns than in front Of the
eight armed with rifles.
