Old Bill Varney, next to Boblnson Crusoe and the Arabian Nights, was looked upon by the yonngsters as the bMt rpnraifnrv nf ant nentifi historv. Be bad settled out there in the Miami country when, instead of beinsr, as now. the garden spot of the third State in the Union, vit was a vast wilderness, un broken save by a few scattered whits settlements, maintaminj a precarious foothold against wild beasts, savages and ague. He could tell all about Simon Kenton, Adam Poe, Big Foot and tbe white renerad'. Simon Girty, by the side of whom be considered Jndas Lscariot and Benedict Arnold models of lidelitr and honor. But it was the rec tal of his personal adventures that gave u most pleasure and him, too. it may be added. He was very fond of attending our debating club: and frK)uently. after both sides had exhausted t!ie subject or their knowledge of it Old Bill would be invited to close the exercises with a few remarks, on which occasion he rarely failed to produce some pat Illustration from the archives of nis rich exoerienoe. Should capital punishment ever fte InGicted on c rcumstantial evidence r was the question at one of our meet ings. The discission had been long and nested, and Old Bill had listened with markttl attention. "i'erhape our old friend, here." said the c!i:ir.nan. when ail the rest had fin'shed.' "'will favr.r us with his views." Old Bill rose deliberately, pla -ed his chip" hat. brim downwar.ls, on the Secretary s table, thru-t bo; h hands into the pockets of his tow-t'loth trowsers, ducked b s head, and beean: "MR. Cheerjian I"ve heord it re- reated ovr'n over ain this evenin', as ow sarcumstmces, like riggers, won't lie. Don't you pat too much dependence onto that. Mr. Ciieerraan; for I tell you, both riggers and arcum$tances '11 b'ar clost watchin'. I know saroum stances will; for they oncet lied my neck into the halter, an 'twarn't thar fault ef it managed to tnt out in time. "Ef 'tain't out o' order, Mr. Cheer man, ril jest norato the facks; for one fack '11 knock the socks off'n a dozen the'ries ennv dsy. "I hedn't been out yer long from old Pennsvlvaar, when one day, as I was peerin' roun On the hunt for a nice bit o' land, what should I light onto but a buckskin puss, as somebody drapt, with a wad o money into it? "I seed no better way 'n to put it In my pocket, an' try an'find the own er; an the n.ost likely place to git wind on im I knowea was over at Jem Whackett's which it was a sort o' stoppin' -place for trav'lers an' loatin' place for the settlers. Jem called it a tav'ring, an' kep' a bar'l o' whiskey on the porch, with "Intektainment' p rented on the head. "Thar was a big crowd at Jem's, talkin' load an egcited; but they all stout 's soon 's I come in. Time o' day, gents, says I, want in to be sosh'ble like; won't you all take su thin'r They ail said tliey wonld, an' they tep' tnar wow. I went to take out my ouss to tav. bat, by mistake got holt o' the buck skin one as I'd found. I slipt it back 3uick, but not quick enough to dodge em Whackitt's eyes. ' I didn' wut to mention bndm afore ennv body ft'd; for I know'd thar was somo in that crowd ready to claim your very shadder tne minnit you turm M your back on it. Jem waitHl till I'd paid for the drinks, iu then g'.viu' a s rto' semmy. sar clar winK ttint tuck: in the crowd. says be: 'You didn't see anythin' of a well-dressed stranger a hore-back, did yonr 'No, I didn't,' says L " 'Bill V'arley,' says Jem, cockin' bis eye at me square, 'you've got to be aarcnea. 'Which?' says L drawin' back. 'You'll soon see which.' savs he. advancin', as somebody ketched ray arm. Ilold.'im! hold'im!' shouted Jem, till I've arched Mm! I tell you he's got the proofs nt j 'imT In a second all the hanJs thar was onto me. and Jem went through my pockets. Yer 'tis! yer 'tis" he shouted the very puss I see'd tiie tranger hev this mornin'; an' yer,' he naid. openin' It, s the very note 1 give im in change when be puitl for 's breakfas'. I'd my doubts of it when I tuck it of Dodo "Burke lately, an' so sot a privit mark onto it.' 1 found that puss not an Lour ago,' ays L Oh!, you did, did you? Yes of course.' says .!em. 'Mebby you kin gsplnin as" well how 'twas thet the stranger's critter w.ns found roamin' loose in tbe woods, with blood onto the pommel o' the saddle, an' how a big Splotch o blood got onto the leaves not fur off? Mebby you kin egsplain all them damnifyin' sarcumstances con sistent with som -body s innercence.' ' I know noihin' about 'em,' says I. 44 'Ov course not,' says Jem. 'Now, boys, says he, 'you've seini an heerd the prvofa. All as is in favor of liangin' the culjierit, aoeordin' to Mosos and the prophets, '11 raise thar right hands.' "You'd a' thought you was in a h am en Kn' fact' nr. to look up at that swarm o' hugd yaller pawn, ot one stayed down. 'Motion korried." says Jem. 'Whar shell we ex co-it the sentenca?' "I'll tell you.' says the rueSncst lookin' cuss in tlie lot. 'Hing'im over the brink o' the high ol.lU f the rope breaks 'twou't matter much.' " 'The very thing!' they all agreed. "So they if run nie 'lng tell they got to be plaou. Twas whar thar was a deep, narrur gulch, with steep, rocky idea so overgrow'd with bushes that you might easy tumble over afore you was awar'. . "One of 'em clum up an' hitc'iea one end of a rupe to a lim. thet stuck out over the edge, an' Jt noose at t'other and was slipt over my head. 'We haint got no passnn nanay, says Jem. so you'll hey to say your own pray rs.' Tve done said 'em a' ready,' says IV so that's nothin to wait for.' -i You see. in thar hurry, they'd forgot to tie my hands, an I was 'feared they' d think of it ev'ry minnit they waited. ' 'Hev you nothin' furaer to ayf says Jem. '.Nothin' more at present,' say i. " 'Fire Mm over, then!' says he ona two three an' away! - "A strong boost sent me iryuv over the brink; but quick as lightnin, I Ketched the rope above my neaa. J. no jerk liked to tore my arms out, but they saved ray neck. My feet nearly tech'd a narrer ledge, onter which I drapt, arter sl ppin off the noose. Then I found a shelvtn' place, and slid down safe to the bottom. ' - i heerd a mad cry above. They'd discovered my escape. I know'd the outlet o' the gully, an could re'eh it fust, as t' others d have to go round some ways. . "I was runnin' for dear life, when I heerd a ueep moan, an' turnin' to look, seed a man lyin' at the foof o' the clifts. "Help me, for God's sake!" he cried, ketchin sight o' me. 'I've fell and broke my leg.' "The rocks w ain't so high at that p'int, w'ich 'twere that as probably 'd save his life. 'I'm perishin' o' thirst,' says he. "I know'd my life hang on every moment, but I couldn't let a fellow critter suffer. I'd lost my bat, but tuck the stranger's an' run to whar I know'd thar was a spring an' filled it, an' run nin' back, hilt it to the man's hps. Jest then I heerd a shout at one eend o the gully answered by another at t'oher. My pnmhuers 'a hemm'd me in! "What's that noise? ax'd the stranger. "It's a mob arter me to kill me,' says I. What forr says he. " I picked up a lost puss, with some money into it, says I, w ich, they say, belongs to a mLssin' stranger, w ich 'is hoss hes been found, with blood onta the saddle. Tliey sarched me an' found the puss, an' pertend .as how I mur dered the owner. "I lost my way in the woods, to day, says the stringer, 'so' while wanderin' about to rind it. also lost my puss. Then my nose got to bleedin', an' afore I could dismount, some drops fell onto the saddle. Arterwards my critter shied an' flung me down yer; an' I've no doubt it's me they think you've murdered.' "Hurrah! yer he Isf yelled Jim Whackitt, as him an' 'is gang come rushin' on, swearin' vengeance at ev'ry step. "But hollo! what's this? as I live, thar's the murdered man!' ' The murdered man soon explained all, an' the whole crowd begged my Sarding. We kerried the stranger to em;Whackitt's, an' got a doctor to sot his crippled leg arter w'ich we'd drinks all round, an' shuck hands over agin. "Jem said 'twas all tbe fault o' sar- enmstances. an' I own, Mr. Cheerman. I've hed a strong spite agin 'em ever Up la a Balloon. The coveted distinction of being the nrst to cross tne channel from tbe French side in a balloon has been gained br the well-known young aeronaut, M. IHoste. 'This result has only been obtained by perseverance after several unsuccessful efforts. The first time he went up from Boulogne in company with Ml Eloy, and the balloon fell at Desvres, a "little town about twelve miles inland. On the second occasion he went up alone at midnight, and, after descending at Dunkirk in the morning, started afresh and was picked up in tbe North Sea by a fishing-boat. Nothing daunted by perils from which he had narrowly escaped, he made two subsequent ascents, and each time came down at Dixmude, a little town in Belgium. In recognition of his energy a subscription was started at Boulogne to provide him with a new balloon, to be called the Ville de Boulogne-nr-Mer, and it was with this that he effect ed his ascent from theTuileries gardens at Boulogne at five o'clock one Sunday .fternoon, in the presence of a great crowd of spectators. The wind at start ing was exceedingly light, and in order not to overweight the balloon the aero naut bad to leavo behind an amateur who had arranrred to acconiDanv him. The wind carr'.cd the balloon in a north easterly direction, but half an hour afterward it was caught by a southeast current, and after floating awhile above the pier it took its course over the straits at a height of one thousand yards. Wishing to be informed as to the land current, M. L'Hoste dropped down to abtut one hundred and fifty yards to question some fishermen whose smacks were beneath him,- and also the tug Faidherbe, which had followed him out of the harbor. Having obtained the necessary information he threw out ballast, and ascending to thirteen hun dred yards, continued bis course, with a southwest wind, which took him toward Cape Grisnez. At 0:30 the balloon dropped into the lower current and kept on a favorable course, with a breeze that varied from east to south, west. At 7:30 both sides of the chan nel were hidden by a thick fog, bat at eight o'clock the moon rose and the aeronaut could make out steamers on their way north. He could also dis tinguish l'ghts at Cape Grisnez and at Dover. At nine o'clock, believing him self to be near the English . coast, in order to test the correctness of his sup position he hailed land loudly and heard the echo of his own voice, which proved him right. The wind con tinued to carry him landward, and his attention was attracted to the lights off Folkestone. He was then at a height of three hundred meters. At about ten o'clock M. L'Hoste saw the English coast beneath him. He left be hind him a little town which he sup posed to be Sandgate, where he was hailed by several persons. Later on he arranged for his descent and fell into a large field, so that he had to discharge the gas alone. It was then about eleven o'clock, and. t.k ng a rapid glance around him and finding that the .spot was entirely deserted, he decided that he would 'sleep besido his balloon and made the best arrangements he could for passing the night. Early on Mon day morning he went to the nearest farm-house, at a village about twelve miles from Folkestone. The farmer very obligingly offered him the use of a vehicle to convey the balloon to the town, and traveling with it he returned to Folkestoue and then proceeded by tidal boat to Boulogne, where a warm reception was accorded him.

Themin wich he hes a present or prospective interest are very largely in a majority. I now es the iJimocrisy wants votes tor the sake uv the Post-offices that follows victory, wat is its dooty? Is it to cater to the wishes uv the seven-tenths, or to the desires uv the three-tenths?. -'The Republikin party is devoted to wat it calls prinsiples. It hes some distinctive ijees. and its leaders. hev alius bin afflicted with tbe . loonacy uv tryin to make wat they call hoomanity better. Consekently it embraces in its rrganizashen the three-tenths that they arrogantly call good citizens, them wich is willin to stand defeat for an iiee. Thev hev the old Ablishnists, them loonatix wich veers ago turned their bax upon Post-omsis and willinly sndoored rotten eggs and lynctun lor the sake of freein the nicker, and after ward insisted on givin him the ballot the same ez the white man. In the in- trest uv Amerikin labor they went to the wall for veers opposin free trade. never thinkin they might have luxuri ated unon Enelish money, ez we wuz doin, by takin the other tack, and now they hev put theirselves in opposishen to the freedom uv UKKer on tne store that whisky is a destroyer and beer a liver congesior ana Kiuney eaiargvr, and that free trade in it fills the jales and the poor-houses. ; - Dimocrisy hes other views. A Dune kratio lceder gits his steer from the census reports and the soshel statistics. In all matters in which ther is profit men dig down and never dig up. When you want oil you bore for it, and you likewise dig for gold. The grate mine uv votes is downward, not upward, be- ooz common schools, even la Amensy, hev never done their perfect work, and while gin-mills and boer-shops are open seven days uv the week, and sixteen hours uv the day, churches are .only open on Sundays and then only fur a few hours. The servants of the devil are industrious, much more than them which serve the Lord. This bein the case, wat is the dooty uv tbe leaders uv the Dimocrisy, or, ruther, wat is the intrest? In treat is. with us, dooty. Cleeriy to go wber ther is the most votes, kl reuiun ana eion hed the most votes in controle, it wood be our dooty and interest to cultivate that eend of tbe popelashen. tho we shood hev to be reconstructed to work in that direckshun with any success. I hev notist that Dimocrisy and re- Itrrfnn rlnn't wart wait well tnottther. When a Dimocrat gits to wearin clean shirts reglerly I alius consider he is on the hiarh road to Republikinlsm, and the toite uv a Dimokrat in a prayer- meetin would nil me with alarm. . Our best holt is the gin-mills and beer-shops. We hev alius hed em and alius will. Indeed. I don't know es we oood tear ourselves loose from em ef we tried. It's a toss ' up whether we hev them or they us. Wat wood the Dimocrisy uv the grate City uv Noo York be without the gin-mills? Wat wood we do in Illinois ef the gin mills shood be shut up in Shecago? Wat wood we do anywhere without this auyr With the gin-mills with us, we hey a percentage on tne KepuoiiKins tnat is terrific A wholesale merchant or man ufactrer in Noo York won't vote bat wunst, even if we lot him vote at all our gin-mill gradooates votes es many times es may be necessary to roil up tne maionties we want, it wus tne gin- mills that was Boss Tweed's best bolt in the good old days when he bed Noo York, and it is our checf dependence everywhere. The strength of the De- mocrisy may be estimated by the aker. It takes so many akers uv sod corn to make a Dimekrar, and our maionties may be estimated from tho smoke that goes up from the distilleries, and the number uy, bars over wich the produk is aispensea. Everything seeks its level. A man can't lift hisse if by the straps uv his boots, nor kin too put noo wine into old bottles. Wat we want is majorities, and thar ain't no yoose in wast in time on reasonin men and sich, for them is not in the majority. Everybody hes stumick. but a very small porshen uv mankind hev inttelleck. The Republik In party appeies to the Intellect uv one class. Ef that class hex inflooence enuff to corrall the votes, they win, and we can t help it. But stumick is our dependence, and we can't very well go out uv the stumick biznis. We hev the gin-mills sekoor, or ruther they hev us; we hev sioh uv the nooly landed . emi grants ez ain't pertikler whether . they are natcheralized or not, jist afore they vote; we hev the money uv the British manufakters to yoose aoHn our latter. and we hev sich niggers in the South ez are nervous about standin before the muzzle uv a shotiran, and we sbel hev all uv thst class of niggers in the North ez want ofhses which trey bevn t got, beside other simler elements uv strene-th. I hay alius insisted that we made a grate mistake in opposin the Chinese, and I perdict that the time will come when we shel insist on givin him the ballot. He don't dnnk likker, it is troo. but he does smoke opium, and opium smokin will fetch a man down to the level of votin with us es shoorly ez whisky. I hope to see the day when, with reference to the Chinese vote, we shel inscribe on our banners: "Personal Liberty and Free Opium!" jist ez now we hist the cheering ierena: "i ersonai Liberty and Free Whisky." fcl it wnz worth our while to consu late the likker interest for ther votes, why not the opium elements for ther votes? We hev got to depend upon these classes and ther ain't no yoose uv mon keyin' about other people. There is more power, so fur es votes is con cerned, among our pekoolyer people, in a bottle uv noo likker than there is in an open Bible. A sanded floor with pine tables and beer onto 'em, is a more potent agency with us than a Sundy Skool; and a talented beer jerker kin corral more votes than any preecher that ever howled.

World. ".' : A Candid Democrat. .. . . There is. now and then a Democrat who realizes the condition of his party and is courageous enough to speak out about it in terms not to be misunderstood. Such a man is Congressman Reagan, of Texas whose partisan orthodoxy nobody will dispute, and wnose prominence in public.' affairs gives general interest to bis views and observations. This out spoken Texan has recently been express ing himseit as to the persevering cow ardice and double dealing manifested by those who frume Democratic resolu tions and piatiorms. l hey snnna- irom meeting tbe issues squarely, he declares, and what they say may mean anything or nothing, as one choses to interpret it. . The vital questions of the time are all dodged or straddled, and instead of . T i u 1 : J . . ..t.. presenting a uuiu, couuiu xroui, uio party wears a slinking and Janus-faced aspect which with parties as with indi viduals is an advertisement of timidity,' duplicity and feebleness. On the matter ol tbe tarin, lor in stance, Mr. Reagan confesses that it is impossible to determine from Demo cratic piatiorms ana speeches wnat tne Democratic policy is, or what position is likely to be taken in the coming Pres idential contest. There is a palling at cross purposes in every direction, and not with a view to arriving at a definite and explicit agreement, but with the obvious intent of evading any down right action upon the subject. A sim ilar hesitancy and uncertainty prevails regarding tne currency question, the labor problem, and all the other issues tnat invite discussion ana mast te met and solved. "I think," Mr. Reagan frankly savs, "that leading Democratic politicians and newspapers are trying to hide from themselves aud the country the fact that these issues are pressing for solution;" hoping that somehow the people can be induced to believe that tbe true panacea lor all political ais orders is'simply a new deal in the of fices. ' ' A man of experience and a student of history like Mr. Reagan knows that no political party can afford to occupy a negative or doubtful position on any question of current importance. No argument should be required to con vince a Democrat of this fact. . The course of his own party daring the last twenty-five years is a glaring proof that success does not lie in the direction of dodging and trimming. "The crime of the Democracy," as Air. Reagan pats it, "is its weakness." Whenever it confronts an occasion where pluck and squareness are demanded, it proves to be invertebrate and given over to ways of crookedness and darkness. It has been so in every National contest since I860, notwithstanding the repeated les sons of disaster that should have taught wisdom and the worth of sincerity and courage. The people understood this thoroughly; and still the Democratic leaders appear to think that the way to get votes is to assume that the people are . both unenlightened and uncon cerned in political affairs. It is easy to see that Mr. Reagan has not much nope that his party is going to take positive ground on any issue. The indications all forbid a thought of that kind. No sooner is a proposition made for an aggressive step in any di rection than reason is found to discour age and prevent it, in the interest of harmony and latitude of personal opin ion. The men who ought to be matur ing a coherent and pronounced schedule of party belief and purpose are really engaged in doing all they can to put such a thing out of the question, . with every prospect of accomplishing their object. . Mr. Reagan is the first one of all the acknowledged leaders who has ventured to open his mouth against the idea of dissruise and evas'on. and in favor of an open, unmistakable profes sion of Democratic sentiment and de sign; and his frankness will be gener ally derided and denounced by the or gans of the party as an unjustifiable as persion of the motives ol men quite as good as himself. The fact remains to be noted that Mr. Reagan might have given additional force to his remarks by contrasting the attitude of his party with that of the Republican party , in this matter of trrannlincr with important Questions. It is never any trouble to ascertain what the Republicans thinK and propose. Their convictions arealways announced in good season and in words not hard to spell or comprehend. Republican leaders do not find It necessary or de sirable to promote harmony by stifling expression and distracting attention from the main issue with pettifoggery and make believe; and Republican news papers are not required to veer and tack with every breeze that blows. - When a man votes the Republican ticket he knows what he is voting for, and what will follow. A Republican triumph has a fixed and understood meaning, be cause a Republican platform is made to convey ideas, not to conceal them, and the Republican party is a party of prin ciple and courage, not of pretense and cowardice. All this might have been properly set forth by Mr. Reagan, bad be cared to pursue bis sub'ect to its le gitimate conclusion; for it is not truer that the crime of the Democratic party is its weakness than that the crowning virtue of the Republican party is its characteristic readiness to make known its preferences and its purposes, and to contend for them straightforwardly and without shadow of turning. Sf. Louis Globe- Democrat. The Rat and the Cheese. There was once a Sleek old Rat, who had worn himself Gray by Long and Hard work, gnawing a Hole into the Pantry, where all the Food was Kept. When he got the Hole done he would Sit in it all Day long, and shriek: " The Cats are eating all the Cheese In the Pantry! The Cats must go.' : The simple-hearted Man of the House could never i-'ind any Marks of the Cats' Teeth or Claws on the Cheese, but he thought that what was Said so Often must be True, so he Drove all the Cats away. When the Man of the House came in to the Pantry the next Day, he found that the Bad old Rat had eaten a Hole clear through the Cheese and destroyed more in a Nightthan all the Cats in the Country would in a year. Moral: A Democratic "Reformer" is no More to be Trusted within Arm's length of the Tax-payer's money than a full-grown Norway Rat is to be put in charge of a Western Reserve Cheese. Exchange. Ixuisa Talcott, of Hartford, had a pair of , solitaire diamond ear-rings swept into a waste basket the other day and emptied into the range. She found them in the ashes, the stones unharmed but the gold settings melted away. New Haven Register.
