DEMAND.


IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRBUFEl


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 4.-Ihe Republicans feel
more aud more confident as the election approaches.
They are holding this week succession Of county
rallies, eight or every day, that i'll the course
Of the week almost every county in the State will
have It's closing demonstration. The crowds at
these meetings are immense, SURPRISING anything
seen before in this remarkable campaign OF great
Sssemblages. Evidently the energy and enthusiasm
Of the Republican masses constantly ON the IN
crease. IL was questioned last week whether
the people would respond to the cali for
this series of mass meetings. Every county
had already had two or three, and there was some
fear that there would be falling off in the attend
ance; but the results proving that there was no
foundation for this apprehension While the whole
force of speakers under control of the Central COl
mittee is employed at these affairs. orders have been
sent to the county committees to put all the local
orators they have at work every night at township
meetings. All this stump oratOry will not make
many votes. The fellows who still on the fence
viii only be eoaxed down by shaking. greenbaeks at
them. It keeps up the hurrah untifthe moment for
action, however and prevents straggling'


The Democrats are having just as much talking
but win not hold many big meetings this week
On account Of the soldiers and citizens demonstTa
tion here tomorrow, which win bring in large
number Of their speakers. Every man of them who
has military handle TO his name Is summoned to
Indianapolis.

Ask your purse, not your pride,
what you shall buy. Let not desire
to excel your peighbor in display run
you into lavish expenditure. There
is no folble so attractive for the time
as extravaganza. People call it liber-
ality, nobleness OF spirit, and enlarged
views; they look on with admiration,
as they do at a brilliant display Of
fireworks, but the fire once spent,

Old Manchester is as Thoroughly aroused as
Richmond on the unprecedented event OF
the arrival of one OF the greatest circlIses IN
the country within very short space OF
time. The name of John Robinson II afiec-
tionately entwined in the hearts OF our peo-
pie, and his Manchester friends will 60 over
in crowds to greet him. The consequence
is that everybody is saving up their half
dollars for their little ones, according to
their own statements, but we do much sus-
peet that o good circus does bring as
much enjoyment to the hearts OF the
old OF Manchester as to the yoang there
of. The firm OF Bootblack, Sh0eshine g. Co.
does not exist in Manchester owing TO the
industry Of her young men, who black
their own shoes but there are many color
ed urchins who are astonishingly polite and
wonderfully willing to do odd Jobs OF ali
sorts at any price. 1t Is to be regretted that
there is no street-car line across the free
bridge, and no bridge across the basin
bank: but in the absence OF these necessi-
ties of convenient travel between this city
and the metropolis would it not be well TO
have cheap excursion train eacn evening
ON the Petersburg or the Danvllle road
Let some enterprising individual try 1t, and
if he loses money then he can swear ne WIN
never 90 to another circus again as long as
he lives, and find adequate consolation
therein. n ..s

twenty years to establish a permanent
and rich old pasture. This being done,
of coure the herbage will be affected BY
a dry season. A permanent pasture Of
meadow cannot grow without moisture,
either in America or England, for grass
will burn up all the world over when
there is no source of moisture. II
seems as if three and half tons of hay
per acre removed from q field reduces
its fertility very much, and that also the
allowing OF grass to stand SO long, must
have caused the coarser grasses to have
smothered and killed the finest and rich
est varieties of grass, thus leaving thin
stand without the fine dwarf heritage,
which ought to have filed the inster
stices, as overpoweringly heavy crops
are known to destroy weeds. If the
grass had been eaten by sheep and
young cattle, and when becoming short
and scant the animals had all been re-
moved to another field, the undergrass
would have been saved from suffocation
and the whole herbage have received
such stimulation from the droppingi
and urine of the animals that the result
might have been different.

There is q new mystery" on the ttpis,
which is to completely eclipse the Bravo
case in sensational horrors. says the
Liverpool Albion. The hero Of the rO-
nance is fascinating foreigner" with
faAcy title, who few years ago arrived
in England on a fortune-hunting expe-
dition. He met with a young lady in
good position, whose mother had large
fortune, of which the daughter and the
issue of any marriage she might con-
tract were to enjoy the reversion. The
fascinating foreigner" made love to the
prospective heiress, married her, was
presented with an heir, and then began
to think of securing the fortune without
the trouble of waiting for the dilatory
course of nature. He accidentally"
shot his mother in-law while cleaning
his gun. The coroner's Jury resisted a
strong temptation to bring in verdict
of "justifable homicide" and returned
it as case of death by misadventure. !"
Shortly afterward the young wife died,
and the detected widower was left guar
dian to the heir of her fortune. An un-
accountable prejudice against him on
the part of his country neighbors. how
ever, induced him to leave the hall !"
and reside in London. Then it occurred
to him, as a wise course, to change his
name, which he did, selecting one Of
the Oldest and most honored names in
the aristocracy of France as substitute.
Once more he went fortune-hunting,
and once more he was lucky in his
quarry. He won the heart and hand Of
q buxom Scotch widow from Kelso with
e90, 900 of her own. They married last
autumn, and made Switzerland the
scene of their wedding tour. But the
happy honeymoon was marred by ter
rible calamity. The bride fell down q
crevasse and was killed on the spot.
There was no witness to the fatal acci-
dent but her husband, whose grief al
most drove him distracted. Yet such is
human heartlessness, there were those
who whispered, that the bride was help
ed down that crevasse by the hand Of
her husband. These whispers have
grown into outspoken accusations OF
murder, and the police are on the track
of this illustrious foreigner, whose do
mestic bereavements have been so OPP
portunely timed as to make him, while
still young, the sole possessor of two
handsome fortunes.

IT is an old German adage that "more
people dig their own graves with their
teeth than with spades" and verify 1t
wGuld seem so if we would look at the
immense number of dyspeptics, rheu-
matte and gouty individuals, creeping
through life in pain and wretchedness.
Yet II is next to impossible TO induce
even thinking people to control their APP
petites, and TO eat such things and at
such times as nature shows them is
necessary and right DR.. Hall declares
unhesitatingly that 1t is wrong to eat with
out an appetite, for 1t shows there is no
gastric iuice in the stomach, and that
nature does not need food, and, not need
ing IL, there being no fluid TO receive and
act upon il, it remains there only TO putri-
fy, the very thought of which should be
sufficient TO deter any man from eating
without an appetite the remainder of his
life. III tonic Is taken TO whet the ap-
petite 1t is mistaken course, for its only
result is to cause one to eat more when
already an amount has been eaten beyond
what the gastric juice is able to prepare.
The object 10 be obtained is large sup
ply of gastric juice; whatever fails to ac-
cOmplish that essential object fails TO
have any efficacy toward the cure OF dys-
peptic diseases, The formation of gastric
juice is directly propOrtloned to the wear
and tear of the system, which II is TO be
the means OF supplying, and this wear
and tear can only take place as the result
of exercise. The efficient remedy for
dyspeptics is work-out-door work-ben-
ehciaI and successful in direct proportion

ble.,-RtraL RsD Y0rk1r.

A GENTLEMAN who witnessed Coptic
wedding in Cairo says that when the two
brides entered the room they were guided
TO their places. There was not the slight
est sign of recognition between them and
their respective bridsgrooms, and from
the beginning TO the end there was no
more sign of life in them than If they had
been two mummies. There was great
deal of swinging of censors, and the
priests, one after the other, read and
spelled ceremony in Coptic, a language
that is little understood even by the Copts
themselves; but il was not until the SER
vice drew TO close that anything was
said TO the two couples, when an en-
broidered scarf of some rich texture was
handed to the officiating clergyman, and
this he bound round the head of the
bridegroom, and then passing il directly
from the crown of his head repeated the
process of winding it about the head of
the bride. Afler this the priest placed a
kind OF crown or frontal diadem of gold
on the head of each person, which was
worn until the conclusion of the ceremony.
The priest also received and blessed two
rings in each case, for the bridegroom and
bride, and then, after what appeared to be
an eXhOrtation, the brides were led away
by their attendants, and the two bride
grOoms descended TO attend the entertain
ment Of their guests.

There was strange panic at Jerusalem
on the accession Of MurAd V. to the Turk
iSh throne. The issue Of cartridges by the
Chief of Police to bis men to be fired in
celebrating the accession of the new Sui
tan, and the consequent necessity of send-
ing most Of the muekets to the gunsmiths
for repairs, gave rise to the report that a
general massacre of Christians was to take
place the next day after the midday prayer.
Christians and jews closed their shops and
barricaded themselves in the various con-
vents and bospices in the city. The streets
we're full of families fleeing with their pro-
perty. Seeing this the Moslems took fright.
They thought the Christians were about to
massacre them. So they closed their chops
and hurried to places OF safety. Soon the
streets were deserted. Every body was wait
ing for the evil hour. Then the authorities
took the matter in hand, showed the people
that there was no cause for their fright,
and by degrees persuaded them to open

At the trial of an amateur cornet
player, named Montrose, on a charge
of disturbing the public peace, Mrs.
johnson, his landlady, testified that
when he came to her house it was full
of boarders, but that many of them
left at the end of week because they
bad not slept we'll. A boarder swore
that Montrose played at all hours of
the night; that he couldn't play more
than three consecutive notes without
stopping to take breath, and that his
performance was of a nature sufficient
ly excruciating to drive an ordinary
man insane. A man who lived two
blocks away testified that he had once
got out of bed, supposing that the
noise was made by COW that he had
lost few days before. A second
boarder didn't like the music, and had
frequently gone up in the canon and
laid down in the old tunnel to get
some sleep. He was of the opinion
that man living in the next block
would have no grounds for complaint
provided he stuffed enough cotton in
his ears to shut out the sound. "How
much cotton would be necessary to
accomplish that result ?" the prosecu-
ting attorney asked. II think an or.
dinary bale of New Orleans cotton,
Xxx prime, might last a man two
weeks-if his ears were large, like
yours, it might take more," was the
reply. An old man, put on the stand
for the defense, said that the sound OF
the cornet lulled him to sleep. In the
cross-examination, the opposing attor-
ney whistled Beautiful Blue Danube, u
and the witness swore on oath that, in
his opinion the tune was "Yankee
Doodle" The only other witness for
Mentrose had never been disturbed by
the cornet, although he slept in the
next room, but the fact came out that
he was too deaf to hear anything
fainter than steam whistle. Montrost
was fined Virginia Gig ChrOni.

gentleman, which we publish to-day,
explains itself. 1t has been our be-

ness of the party in this district

ination of Mr.. Magoon, and that
with the ex .Nerience of one term in
Congress, he would be the best iit-
ted to represent and care for the in
terests Of the district. We have yet
to hear the first complaint of any
dereliction on the part of Mr.. Nj.
as a representative; of any vote
cast by him that was wrong; Of any
failure to vote for that which was
right. 1t is not charged, and cannot
truthfully be, that he has lodged
anything, or shirked anything prop
er for him to do. No member has
been more regular in attendance ut
the session Of the House, or more
earnest in his endeavor to faithfully
discharge the duties entrusted to
him. In general, and in brief, we
| believe the third district has been
served by him as faithfully as by
any member, and as effectively as
was to be reasonably expected of
one in his first term. That he is de-
feated for second term we regret
on his account personally, and on
account Of the heart-burnines that
it occasions, which can but have an
unfavorablc effect upon the Repub-
lican cause.

KICKED BY A HORSE.-On Friday
last, li''le son of Daniel Dawson
residing five miles east of this city,
was kicked by horse, in the head,
just back of the ear, and injured
so that recovery is impossible. The
skull was shattered so that the brain
ooZed out. The account we have of
the sad affair is that team hitched
to wagon started to run off, the
boy in getting hold of the lines to
stop them, came behind one of the
horses, which suddenly kicked, strik-
ing the little fellow with one foot on
the head, and with the other on the
thigh. He was promising child,
on whom the parents and elder
brothers and sisters dotted fondly.
In their bereavement the family
have the sympathy of the entire
community.
