- WEDNESDAY. DEC. 7. 1862. •J'.ss J. VAN 8LYKE, Editor. mr Butter on the Elgin Board of Trade on Monday m steady, with all offer- imp token at 30 cent*, 13,200 pounds being Bold for |3,960. The price is the • name as for several weeks?' A year ago 29 cents was paid. / IMF Mr. Cleveland appears to be level- beaded in one respect. He fwla disgust­ ed at Democratic office seekers. In less than six months the aforesaid office- seekers will have just the same feeling toward Mr. Cleveland. MTThe Elgin Every Saturday perti­ nently remarks: "In its volume of 'edi­ torials that won,' which the Chicago Herald imagine thrre is an insatiate de­ sire for, will it include its anti-convention editorials about Judge Altgeld? Why not?. • |0r»The New York World strata, flaps its wings and crows to this tune: "Great year for the C's--Cleveland, Connecticut, California, Chicago, Campbell, Croker, Corbett, Choynski, ChristopberColumbus and--welly Christmas will soon be here. Its a great year for crow too. " Hopkins' majority over Alschuler for Congress, was 7,344, about the old figure, which shows that the old Fifth don't, get "rattled." It turned out more men to fight the Rebellion, in proportion to population, than any other congress­ ional district in the State, and it votes now the same way it shot then. I W h a t i s t h e u s e o f w a s t i n g t i m e faying to find out how the Democrats of the fifty-third Congress stand on the ex­ tra session? Vvhen Mr. Cleveland was President before he never thought of con­ sulting Congressmen, and we know of no reason for expecting a change in his de­ meanor toward them. Ift^The Joliet Republican very truth­ fully says: "Unfortunately holding o Hce spoils men. Many persons, having once held office, become unfitted for any­ thing else. They lose all relish for any other kind of life, and spend the remain­ der of their mortal days as chronic office seekers. It is a satisfaction to see a man like Joe Fifer leave the Governor's chair and step right back into the ranks of the common people, taking up the every-day burdens of life, and being willing to sup- port himself instead of depending upon the pablic to support him. 1ST" However unfortunate an American may be, says the Albany Times-Union, there is always a chance that his sons may rise up by their own exertions to better conditions. It is this potent fea­ ture of life in this country that has been the greatest iucentative to immigration. In most European countries a bare exis­ tence is all that the laborer can obtain, and not only is the father of a family de­ barred from any hope of improving his own condition, bat be sees no hope for liia children. Hence the constant tenden­ cy to eeik new homes in America. 1ST" "The newspapers ought to know jne well enough." says President Harri son, "to know that I do not change my views because of a defeat at an election.' Most of them do know that. Neither President Harrison or the republican party has changed their views on the tariff. They believed they were right and t|»ey believe so yet, and if a fair trial of the other theory can be had they believe the people will be convinced that they have been right and demand a restora­ tion. It is the other party that appears desirous of changing its views as soon as h faces a responsibility, and eager to re­ pudiate the platform on whieh it has come into power. A Fall la Indiana polls. "I ones saw President Harrison ill a very undignified position," said John G. Hunter, an Indianapolis traveling man. 'Indianapolis was ohe of the first cities afflicted bv the roller skating craze. A young man named Fenton, living their#?, was the inventor of the contrivance, and he soon had the city wild. Hnssell caught the infection and became an ex­ pert.. One night he prevailed upon his father to vis-t the rink. The future president looked on the maze of skaters gliding over the smooth floor. It seemed easy enough. He was a famous ice skater in his boyhood, and like mo6t others believed that a man who could keep his head off the surface of a frozen pond could not be easily downed. He secured a pair of skates, examined them critically and looked irresolute. In those days the man who hesitated was lost. Half a dozen ladies--old, young and middle aged--pirouetted about him on wheels and urged him to the trial. An attendant had his feet chained down to the starmakers before he hardly realized it. He struck out with his left, followed with his right, and did amazingly well. It was no trick after all! But he got no farther. One foot shot out to the east; the other made a Colombian voyage of discovery to the west. They circled around each other like an erratic comet chasing its tail, and the future hope of the. nation came down with a crash that made the gas jets flicker. In less than three seconds half of Indianapolis was on top of liim and his head was just visible peering ont from the wilderness of striped hosiery and crushed hats. He sat up when he got an opportunity, removed the skates went over to the attendant, handed him the offending rollers with a polite bow and walked out. That was his first visit, to the rink and his last."--St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Farmer Bratt Rides Down. Eight years ago Emery Bratt, an aged farmer and one of the largest farmers in Genesee county, "came down Salt river" when Cleveland was elected. He rode a mule, which was decorated as profusely as himself. Four years ago Mr. Bratt was among the first to ac­ knowledge that he was beaten, and fol­ lowing his established custom rode through the main streets of Batavia upon his mule "on his way up Salt river." Mr. Bratt had made a statement pub­ licly since the campaign opened to the effect that he was fattening his mule, and that they were coming back this year. Hundreds of citizens and busi­ ness men gathered about to see Mr. Bratt "come down" Wednesday morn­ ing. The mule was attired in red, white and blue, with Mr. Bratt upon his back blowing a large tin horn. A hundred enthusiastic oys were soon in his wake blowing tin horns, and the drum corps was soon in line also. The sidewalks were devoteu to the unique parade, and all pedestrians gave way. Mr. Bratt's quadrennial parade is becoming histor­ ical.--Cor. Buffalo Courier. An Editor Honored. Saturday all his brethren of The Pub­ lic Ledger, of Philadelphia, united in giving a reception at the Drexel insti­ tute in honor of Colonel M. Richards Muckle. The colonel is one of the oldest and most popular members of The Ledger family. He has been in its serv­ ice for half a century, and the reception was in graceful recognition of that fact. A German by descent, although born in Philadelphia, he has always been prom inent in efforts for the welfare of the Germans. For this work, and especially for as­ sisting in the restoration of the ' Stras- burg library, which was destroyed in the Franco-Prussian war, he was twice decorated by the old Emperor William --once with the ribbon and the patent of the Order of the Crown, and again with that of the Black Eagle, which is only conferred upon kings and foreign potentates. He has the distinction of being the only native American to be thus ennobled.--New York Tribune. f^"'One secret of the Chicago packers i*cat fortunes is simple" said a resident of that city recently. "They don't waste anything. Everything is made use of but the squeal. They don't catch that «© it is wasted: Funny thing they do With the blood. It is all caught in a peat tank, and after it clots is carted off to a stamping house, where powerful machines are busy stamping it into but- ^^...^tons. Yes, buttons of blood are no nov­ elty. It is all done at one stamp of the big dies, and it was found that they wear remarkably well. They are easily distin­ guished by their peculiar dark red eolor," >i®^Over near FowlervilJe, Mich., there Jljas a sensation last week. Steven Haven a. wealthy farmer, was noted for his sleep talking. Once he was found in the tnorniDg at the bottom of a deep well. A little later he was discovered wading in Silver Lake, with the water up to his 5 j , JWek- At another time he set fire to his v bouse while asleep, and not long ago be t ili-earned he was hanging himself and . «,, Same pretty near accomplishing the job. Finally, last week, he ventured on a som- ' «abuli»tic tour to the loft of his barn, X. talked out of an upper door, and was ^ found in the morning dead, with his neck broken. What he would have done later Jt he had survived the fall can only be «onjectured. Hurry on the Good Times. policy of the Republicans has been rejected by the people. The Republicans liave not changed their views, but they pecept the situation and wish to see the |»olicy of their opponents given an ample ' *a'r trial. If it proves, when tested i>.V experience, to accomplish the results Which are claimed as sure to follow it - they will not hesitate to acknowledge | that their opinions were mistaken. That T , j>oIicy which most promotes the general Welfare should have the support of all •ijpood citizens, irrespective of past politi cal affiliations. The only sure way oi Jesting theories is by practical experience The Republican policy of protection has been thus tried and the country has ffraatly prospered. The Democrats claim • that when their policy is put in execution Hill greater prosperity will come. Let it lie tried, therefore, without delay. Horry INI good times.

The greatest nimrod of the age, Bint- Savage, told Bill Hilsman that there were several flocks of turkeys dping great damage to his pea crop on the swamp. He therefore baited several places with corn, and on finding that the game was eating his bait, decided to go next morning and kill a lot of them. That night he examined "Old Betsy" carefully and found her in fine fix, bnt on looking np his ammunition found that he had not a grain of powder or an ounce of shot. An old darky standing near by saw his dilemma. He had just returned from town with a gallon of pure corn whisky, and, says lie, "Mars' Bink, let's soak the next lot of corn in the whisky, an if dey eat dat dey is sho' drunk." Bink caught on. The result was he found a flock of sixteen fine wild tur­ keys on a high old drunk, and with his walking stick soon killed the whole .flock.--Albany (Ga.) Herald. Three Car Loads •OF In two Mor ths. THAT IS OUR RECORD We keep Brands that Sell OX THEIR MERITS. Try Some oi i% Something New in Peanut Boasters. "Peanutta, machina roasted!" said an Italian peanut vender in the Bowery yesterday to a group of people who stood around a small model of a working steam engine, to which he pointed with pride. The steam engine had a little metal manikin turnkig a glass cylinder, and the engine puffed and turned out the roasted peanuts in a stream. The ma­ chine looked too costly a toy for the Italian to own. It evidently is an ex­ periment, and means an eruption of pea­ nut roasting machines in every sheltered nook down town. The Italian did a fine trade, the novelty of the contrivance at­ tracting nearly every passerby, and about one out of every five became a purchaser.--New York Sun.
