In THE FIELD EARLY.-F. H. Brown and Capt

selves as candidates before the next Democratic
Convention. Squire Brown has been in and

ty for many years, and it is said did some very
close figuring in the election of year before last
Be that as it may, he now wants to be the Coun-
ty Judge, and proposes to button-hole and fig
ure on his own account After having assisted
in making up numerous states, it would be a
pity if the Squire can't get ON one when he
wants to. Cap Turner would like to have
charge of the county funds for a couple of years
or so. Now Cap. is one of the best Democrats
we ever saw Raised in glorious old Massachus-
setts, he espoused the cause of South Carolina
nine or ten years ago and has stuck to it. The
Democracy are stealing Republican thunder like
the mischief and Cap. is too consistent Dem
ocrat to be an available candidate. That's our
opinion, to be taken of course for what it is
worth. Should there be strife for county of
fees this year, Republicans may take it into
their heads to name the men.

Some two weeks ago trio OF Carroll
township boys, being in our place at
tending court, Messrs. Nelson, Henry
and Wylie, started home about mid
night, going up the pike on horseback.
AT the Valley Inn school house they
halted to have a moments talk before
separating. Whilst there man rode
somewhat hastily down the pike. The
boys thinking that he, like themselves,
was out Sparkling" determined to find
out who he was and where he had
been. So they called out, in sport,
stop Thief! Halt" The rider, IN
stead of stopping, spurred on his horse,
and, arriving at Hamilton's store, took
up the Brownsville road. That being
Mr.. Nelson's road home, he follow
ed still crying out, halt, stop! The
stranger finding himself in danger Of
being overtaken, wheeled his horse into
fence corner and took to the woods.
Somewha dismayed at the turn his Joke
had taken, Nelson called out to the un-
known TO come back, that he was only
in fun, and taat he did not want his
horse. No attention was paid to this,
however, but the mysterious stranger
fled into and through the woods and out
OF sight. Nelson took the horse back
to the pike, aad meeting Mr.. Newell, it
was put in bis stable at Valley Inn.


Now comes The queer part OF the
story. The next morning Mr.. James
Williams came down the track with
the word lha: horse had been stolen
from Mr.. Isaac Stacker on the night be-
fore, and that he was on the way to our
town to telegraph the news out to dit
ferent points. lie was told about the
strange horse in Newell's stable, and
on going there found the lost ANIMAL.
So the intended joke turned out to be
the capture OF an actual horse thief.

the young man called out, Stop M'Gl

ImbeciIity of the Versailles Government.
Paris Cor. (Apra 2O) London Times.


NJ. Theirs and his Government do not seem
to appreciate the greatness of the emergency.
Evidently they don't think delays are dan
gerous." With sublime GOODNESS they tell their
countrymen not to expect anything for some
days. beyond preparations and the arrival of
7ndteriel, and this while not a Frenchman be-
tween the ages of 10 and 45 can show his face in
the streets of Paris without being seized by
a press gang and forced to serve in the rebel
ranks. The people of Paris and its environs
are told to remain tranquil and confident"
while their houses are being smashed to pieces
by shells, and loyal people are being blown TO
pieces or disfgured for life. Yesterday l was
out at Suresnes and PuteauX. The batteries on
the Trocadero were silent for the moment but
no one in either village knew the moment when
a deadly fire would be opened upon his habita-
ton. The day before, lady who kept school
was killed by she'll. Her two daughters were
in the room with her when the she'll entered;
one was so badly wounded that both her legs
have since beer amputated. The other is fright
fully disfgured about the face.


With such q state of things it is no wonder
that loyalty is getting tired out; that the faith in

Sunday, has thrown a damper on the spirits

Mrs. Ulrich noticing q crowd gathering

Ulrich died in ten minutes after giving the

The prisoner, Schroeder, is anything but a

WOrks-Tvyo Men Seriously Injured.


The Chicago Post of the I'd instant says


About 10 o'clock this morning a noise as of
the booming of a hundred cannon, and the
trembling of the earth as though incipient
earthquake were endeavoring To struggle into
existence threw the Inhabitants of portion of
the North Division into the greatest terror and
CONSERVATION. An explosion had occurred at
the North Side Station Works of the Chicago
Gas and Coke Company on the corner of
Hobbie and Crosby streets. When the smoke
had cleared, and the workmen had recovered
from the momentsry shock, it was found that
the explosion had occurred in that part of the
works where are located the Offices. the meter,
and the Governors room, and two men had
been injured by the accident George Holloway,
a clerk in the Office, who resides at the corner
of Oak and La Sale streets was burned, and
Joseph Sailor, who was acting as assistant
superintendent of the works. received internal
injuries.


The portion of the works injured is situated
in the southeast corner of the large grounds
occupied by the company, and presents scene
of ruin and confusion. No Ineligible theory
of the explosion could be ascertained. 1t is
probable that gas escaped from the Governors
room, and filling the Office and the meter-room
in the former of which light was burning, the
explosion followed. A slight fire followed the
explosion, but 1t was quickly extinguished.


1t is fortunate that greater number of per-

a dangerous habit, The vessels
in which the blood passes from
the heart to the head are always
lessened in their cavities when
the head is resting in bed higher
than the body; therefore, in all
diseases attended with fever the
head should be pretty nearly on
