We publish on another page Of
this issue, IN article from the Winns
boro News, headed "Our Policy" in
which it takes occasion to say, that
on the question of re-organizing the
Democratic party of this State, the
Ptchens Sentinel "declares for war. )"
Now, while we advocate thorough
organization of the party and a
straight ticket in the next and all
future elections in the State, and
have not yet seen sufficient reasons
advanced in opposition to this
course to change our opinion, we
are not 80 obstinate as to refuse to
cooperate with the party, should it
choose to pursue q different course !;
nor are we 80 ogotistic as to believe
our opinion will have much to do
with the future course of the party.
In the discussion of this question,
we notice that there is not a Demo-
cratic paper in the State but what
desires somo kind of organization I;
but some Of them oppose Dcmo-
cratic organization. We should
like to bo informed how they propose
to organize, unless it is as Demo
Gratis? Do they propose to organize
as Republicans7 If so the organiza.
ton is already completed, and they
have nothing to do only to stay in.
But this we know, they do not intend
to do, and we are anxious to know
how the other organization is to be
effected, and what it's namo is to be.
1t is already conceived, and ns it has
no gender, we do not SEQ any impro
priety in giving it name before it's
birth. So let us have the name.
But we have digressed. We started
out i'll this article to say that we are
not "for war" nor do wo advocate
any extreme measure whatever
We want Oh organization 80 that the
Democrats throughout the whole
State can meet in. convention,
through their chosen representatives
md counsel together, and if they
should deem it unwiso or impolitic
to run straight ticket, let them
decide what course we shall take and
not leave it to the dictation of somo
radical clique in the State. We be-
ieve there are enough honest Re-
publicans who would cooperate
with the Democrats to carry tho
elections, provided the Democrats
would only define their course in
some authoritative way, SO they
might be assured that there would
ba no division among thom.-Pick-

SHOCKING ODEAL FOR A YOUNG FAC
TORY GIRL,--At Remington Station,
on tho Cincinnati and Marietta Rail
road, Carrie Dawson, employed in a
paper mill, while standing near q
revolving shaft, was caught by her
hair and the scalp torn from her
head, stripping the skin from the
back of her neck to tho eyebrows.
A considerable time elapsed before
medical aid reachod her, and it was
not deemed advisable to attempt to
restore the lifcless scalp to its for
NOR place. Dr.. a. j. Howe, of this
city, commenced tho restoration of
skin to the wounded girls hoad. by
taking a small piece Of scalp from
the head of her sister, who gave hor-
self freely for her injured sisters re-
lief, while another lady offered skin
from her own shoulder to supply
what was needed for tho forehead.
Supplies sufficient to start growth
of new membrane were taken from
each of the ladies, and while Miss
Dawson's condition is dangerous, her
physician entertains considerable
hope of her recovery and tho success

can meet and drill either singly or in battal-

The following eloquent passage, on
our present knowledge of the sun, is
taken from an article on the Transit of
Venus, In late number of the Edin-
burgh Review, in which it is stated that
the sun is $50, 600 miles in diameter, and
so vast that a million and a quarter Of
earths would barely suffice to make up
its volume:-


"The pigmy earth which is dependent
upon that source for light, warmth, life,
and all change and movement of what
ever kind, Is suspended in space one
hundred and eight dameters of that cen.
trail orb away, and is OF one million and
q quarter times smaller dimension than
the sphere from which it receives these
endownments. There is certainly
more for the human intellect to seize
when the fact Is stated in this way, than
there is when the sun Is spoken OF as
sphere ninety-two millions of miles from
the earth, and as large as ,in as the
moons orbit. 1t Is a suggestive and
noteworthy feature in the economy of
Nature that in the one instance which

Yesterday afternoon when Mrs.
Blaine, asked tile doctor il her boy
Samuel would live, the doctor looked
very serious and replied:


TTe may and if he does he will know
more than ever before


Samuel is aged 13, and since the snow
came he has been engaged in Catching

Jump on to farmers sleigh. He was
over on the street yesterday when a
farmers team came along, with hay
rack and Samuel took seat on the
binder He rode short distance and
then let go and stepped into the coils
of rope dragging behind, and before
he knew what was up he was dragging
along through the slush. He gave an
awful yell as he realized his situation,
but the farmer lost his hearing years
ago, and sat on his seat as stiff as the
Cardiff giant, while the horses ambled
along at an even pace.


'Whoopl Hay Say yo1 Oh, murderl'
yelled Samuel, as the slush run up his
pantaloons and his back was raked on
the knobby street, but the farmer was
thinking of home, sweet home, and he
didn't reply. You, therel Whoop! Hi!
Ho! Grashus and blazesl' roared SAM
uel, as he slid on his back and side and
felt his coat going over his head.


The farmer drove up Fourth to Lab
rose, and then went west, and there
wasn't hub or a pond of water that
Samuel Blaine didn't find. Sometimes
he was on his back, and then he would
glide for while t'other side up, and
he kept up yelling that made people
run to the windows. Some boys observ-
ed his situation, but they thought it
was a new kind of way to catch bob
and they yelled, Bully for Samuel
Blape!'


Say I'm being drawn to death-stop
yer hosses!' shouted Saml but the farm
er was thinking of grave on the hill-
side, and he never turned his head. A
man stopped on the walk and yelled:


Say! you've got boy therel but
the farmer nodded his head and kept
on. Finally, as he turned into Eighth
street and headed for Michigan avenue,
he looked around. Seeing Samuel COM
ing up behind, rolling over and over,he
thought the boy was trying to catch on
and he put the bud to his horses and
went three blocks further and drew
up at a grocery.


When they discovered the boys situ-
alton they said it would take forty
pounds of glue to mend him up, and
one man advised killing him at once, so
as to save Mrs. Blaine doctor BILL but
wiser counsel prevailed and they carried
him home. His mother couldn't recog-

Cows must be fed naturally to be
healthy, milk well and breed well.
There is good deal of nonsence
being printed about keeping cows
on meal alone. When / first came
to this country there was a great
rage among a certain class for
cutting every scrap of hay, ETC.,
into chaff. My principal gave or
ders that no animal on his farm
should eat aught uncut; but there
was one man on the farm who OBJ
served the longing of the cattle
for come hay, and he might have
been seen every morning, before
the other workmen came, giving
horses, cows and young stock a
forkful each of something long for
them to enjoy; and that man felt
happy in witnessing the gusto with
which it was eaten. Next to child
rem, that man took an interest in
the comfort of animals, and the
owner Of those cows, ETC., would
tell his friends that his rule was to
cut all his feed. f


Some humane attendant doubt
less waits on these meal-fed cattle,
for they would die ere long on the
allowance said to be given. There
is much said on many subjects
which is not true, and such glaring
absurdities tend to cause doubt of
the statements made by honest,
practical men. It is admitted that
by gradually using animals, gener-
ations in succession, to treatment
not natural, the requirements
change, but II q close investigation
was made IL would be found that
there are penalties which must be

A SINGULAR ExPER1ENcE.-We find the
following in the Dover IN. H. Enquirer
Some Ell ght years ago lad of thirteen, son
of Charles E. Meyers, well.known citizen of
Portsmouth, while fishing from one of the
wharves of that city caught a fish hook in the
fore finger of the right hand, near the roots OF
the nail, drawing it into the bend of the hook.
His father saw at once that the only thing to
be done was to open the finger on line with
the hook and take it out, but preferred to call
in their family physician to do it. After
looking at it for q moment the doctor, by a
sudden twist, wrenched the hook from the
finger, minus the barb and point The pa
rents were justly indignant at such rough
treatment, and insisted that the hook was not
all removed, while the boy came near faintlng
from extreme anguish. The doctor, however,
insisted that no Inconvenience would result,
and dressed the finger in some simple and safe
manner and in due time the wound healed.
But the finger and arm troubled him tor
long time After year or two the LADS
health had 30 far failed as to become subject
of serious alarm to his friends, he being sub
iect to frequent and alarming fainting tits,
and other spasmodic affections or symptoms.
This state Of affairs continued for years, with
more intensity until year or two ago, when
the bows health became nearly or quite re-
stored. In the spring of 1874 the young
man, while dressing himself one morning, tore
q pimple from his left shoulder, and, on ex-
aiming it, he drew from the flesh the point OF
the hook which seven years before was lmbed-
ed in a finger on the opposite side OF MS
