Two unys ngo his boner the mayor ( which is oursolf ) received n written communication from the leader of Major Throckmorton's gang of cowboys to the effect thnt bo was comltift In with his crowd nt on onrly dnto to cnpturo nnd hold the tow n nnd have some fun. Ills honor wns advised not to Interfere with the program , if ho desired to llvo on and coatlnuo to enjoy tno best cllmnto in the world. Wo wish , ns editor of the Kicker nml mayor of the town ( elected by a largo ma jority ) , to say n word or two Iu kindness to this crowd. As editor wo have always ex tended a warm welcome to the boys , nnd on two or thrco occasions wo have mounted our mule nnd "dono" tlio town with them. lint things have changed. As editor wo could do things which would bo beneath tbo dignity of the mayor. The crowd can como in and shoot The ktckor oftlco full of holes , but their fun must atop rittht thoro. As mnvor wo have a duty to perform nnd shall perform It. If the bovs attempt to tnko the town wo shnll rally our botiy guard nnd wlpo out as many of them ns possible.vo shall shoot to kill , and wo caa positively guarantee that from six to ten of the RBIII ? will bo loft on tbo street nnd burled nt the expense of the town. This town can't bo run by outsid ers. It can't bo run except arcoiding to tno rules nnd ordinances Inn ) down. Wo want the cowboys to not nil possible enjoyment out of life , nhd wo want ovcry citizen of tbo town to feel and realize thnt it Is good to bo bore , even if they nro dead broKobnlf the tlmo , but tbcro must bo a limit to tbo game. The gntig who attempts to monkey with the peace anil order of this burg will'ilnd eight two bnndod shooters on deck nnd loaded to the rhln , nnd If any get nwny it won't bo our fault. TOMI HIM So On Wednesday night nt nbout 11 o'clock wo were nrousod from peace ful ( slumbers by Major Turner tnppluRon the alloy window nnd Informing us that the boys were going to bane Shoshoao BUI nnd Wnntod our rene nnd our assistance. Wo were BDoedily dressed and on route wltn the major to tho'usanl spot. Three weeks ago wo dropped n fjcntlo hint to Bill in our local columns that ho had struck tlio wrong town and ought to move on. Ho sent us word that wo were off our food and hadn't sized him up correctly. Wo were pretty well satisfied that our diagnosis was correct nnd that tbo boys would soon take a hand in , tlnd wo were rifiht. Sboshone Bill wns in the care of thirty determined men , nnd Ilko tbo ucrago bluffer bis sund was nil gone. As editor of The Kicker wo brought n rope , but as mayor wo auviscd tbo ooys to Rive Bill ono moio chance. Ho wns cJevuted nnd lowered times enough to trivo him n fair idon of what n regular hnnglne would bo , nnd then set f too nnd headed to the wo t nnd told to travel. Ho didn't stop to ask nny ques tions nbout the route , and there is no fear of bis return. The Kicker has never raado a mistake on a man yet.Vhonachap who thinks ho is a bad man and goes blufllng around with a chin ou bis shoulder sees a double-loaded notice in our local columns to tbo effect tbat land can bo had further west at 50 cents an ncre , ho should tnko it ns n hint and start out to look for n fnrm. Tboso who bnvo been obstinate about it have mot with n surprise whicU was both sudden nnd painful. DON'T WANT IT Our contemporary down the street , tailing to mnke tbo public bollovo that vyo had to leave Connecticut for stealing a cow , now charges us with seeking to nssns- sinato tbo postmaster of this town sons to secure his place.Vo could not secure tbo appointment even should boicslgn in our favor. Mho Kicker nnd Mr. Wannmaker have ahv.iys been antagonistic. Wo don't Ilko bis way of tunning things , nnd ho re fuses to subscribe for our paper : There Is n yawning gulf between us , and neither of us cares n continental cocked bat lor the other. True , wo have s > hot tbo postmaster tbiec times , on throe different occasions , ana ho has sbot at us ut least a dozen times , but tboso were sWo issues. No ono ran make bim bellvo we want his place , and wo refuse to bollovo thnt ha insplrea the nrtlclo re ferred to. Wo shnll probably shoot him again within n mouth If our mall is not de livered tnoro promptlv , but ho will under stand our molivo and do us full Justice. THE MAN WHO SUSPECTED IT. No man would have noticed him ns he sat ID the walling room ot tbo Erie depot with a satchel between his feet but. for his cough. He was nbout lifty years old , plainly dressed nnd his couch wns a cress between the aouna of rt horse Ilddlo and the roar of an en raged lion. On a still dny It could huva been board almost across the state of Rhode Island. It lasted about thrco minutes and it moved him about Hvo feet along the bench on which bo was sitting. When ho had ttn- ishca ho turned to a man who scorned anx ious about his condition and sold : ' "Scuso mo , but I can't help it ; I'vo had this cough for ton years.1' "Can't you cure 1U" asked the other. "No. Spent ever $500 uud It niri't no bet tor. 'Tuln't no coug h from catcbln * cold or Anything ot that sort. I swallorod sunthin' in my sleep aud it lodged down there somo- wbcro. I shan't git no better till 1 cough it up. Hero she goes agin. " Ho stood up and ho sat dowu again. Ho rocked to and fro , and ho coughed to the right and loft. Every ouo who &aw him ex pected to see bim explode and fly In pieces. Ho was making ono lust trcmcnduous effort when something full on the floor in front of him , nnd the man wlio had boon sneaking with him stepped forward and picked up the object and caid : "You seem to hare coughed it up at last , and I congratulate you. " "W-what U III" queried the coughor. " \Vby , I should say it was a tonka bean. " "Tonuu bean , ebi Yes , I gur-ss it is. I remember now. Wo bnd n dozen of 'em around the house , and I'vo ' allus suspected that I wns Just hog enough to swallow ovary blamed ouo of'cm ! Kinder eland back , all of you , und lemma sea H I kin ratio the other 'lovon mid go homo a happy man ! " BROTHER GARDNER'S ' MAXIMS.

There is no sort of doubt iu my mind that wbanevor the month of February has twenty- olno days Iu It au unmarrloa woman has a perfectly lo al and moral right to propose matrimony to any man she thinks will llll the bill. Iu fact , no ono cau advance any other plauriblo reason why February should over Lave over twenty-eight dnj-a iu U. The extra d y wai added to glvo woman a fair show , and it ouehl to bo token , advantage of Iu every locality. H lias l > eou ray sad nnd painful duty to rojeot the hearts of several females offered mo in leap year , and I never look back ever the list Without wishing that , it had been otherwise. Ono leap year nleht. muiiy year * Ago , I found lodgings In the cabin of a Ten nessee mountain widow. Next day , whoa I vas ready to resume my Journey , aho stood peforo mo aud said i "X m tblny-t o years old. pood-tempered , kind h artca aud economical iu mouoy mat ters. I h\roToen ( n wiaow for two ycnrs anil am tlrotl of IL Will you mnrry mo ? " Wasn't ' tbul tilcot Could nny man have nsltod for .inythlnp brtttrt I too It bor Imnd nnd toltf her htjWfiorry I wai thnt Inlrotdy Imd n wife , nnd llieroforo couldn't antcrtnlu her proposal. Wo couldn't mnrrv then , but I'd put hnr tmmo down nt the head of the Hit nnd Rlvo her the lint show. 1 wa Hvlnp in a hotuo next to a church with n tnll stoonlo which wohblcil when the wind blow , aud them wtn no tolling when that steeple would fnll and ninlio mo a wldowor , The widow llotv msvl. She alio flow for n shotgun. 1 llltoivlao How away. Ttiul's the trouble \vllh tliosox. When ono of them 1s rejected Mio tnltoi it too much at tioirl. In- ato.id of pracofully wnlltuiR awny to plno and droop and co Into n tlocllno , they want to pull hnlr aud raUo n row. On the second occasion 1 wo < t rented on n , vcrand.i In the summer twilight with nu old nmld. I wns not thcro to pros * her soft , whlto hnnd nnd toll her thnt ono llttlo word from her would imtUomotlio happiest man in nil creation. 1 was there to olTer hr-r ? 3 cash down for n dojr , which I iironosotl to tnko out and kill without an hour's delay. Susan suddenly cuddled up to me , and said thnt she had loved mo for yoara , hut feared to b re nit the Joyful lldhiKi. Sha could stnnd it no lotiRor , Without mo life would bo ai daric as down collar nt midnight ; if I would have her , the world would ntoncaapproach pnradlsn within per cent. I hunt ; off till I found that filio wanted ? T > 9 for the doir , nnd thnn I told her that she had spoken too Into. Ony ton mtn- tiutos before I rencheit her side another Rlrl had nsliod mo to bu lior ? . und I Imd elvou her a promise In writing. Wo would bo brother nnil slstor. Slioiniclit alt in our pew nt church and plav with our children , but J i cave her a splendid opportunity to rctlro with honor , but ht ? xvould't take it. She leaped up uud scatrhcd mv none nud ruluod inv bat , and ns I lied slio oiicouritROd that inlsorablo dog to follow nnd harass mo nnd Jump mo over fences. 1 cannot bollovo 11ml. she truly loved mo , nndouldlinvo glvon mo the tender care nnd protection a huabaud ex pects. On the third occasion I was driving over a highway In the state of Illinois. A loiin , Intil : girl , with uliilt Rlinbonnot aud bare foot niul carrvlng a piece of saisnfras root In her queenly loft hand , suddenly Jumped the rail fcnco from a corn Held nnd stood before mo In nn agitated stnto. I had * only to glauco into her beautiful orUs to road the truth she loved mol How long she had been at It I can't say , for girli arovcry deceptive about those matters , but probably n long time- over since the old horse raised the dust two miles awny. I know what was coming , nnd my choelM were suffused with blushes nnd my heart boat turaultuously. I don't thlntr she read my answer In mv eyea , for I was wearing1 blue goggles , but In nlty I tried to stop hor. It was no use , however. She put ouo foot on the bub of a fore whcol , gave me tbo biggest half ot the sassafras root and tenderly said : ' Stranger , I'm old BlllJohnson's daughter Sal , lit ) yours old , sound ns a brick , and f can hoe moro corn , cut moro grass aud plant n bigger 'later patch In 6110 day thnn any man iu the county. What do you say to hitchtn' up with mei" I tried to appear cov nnd pretended nut to understand her , and she brought her hand down "spat 1" on the old horse , killed a bi ? horsclly uud continued : "It's leap year and I'm going to git a hus band or bust ! Hero sbn is , stranger , light from the shoulder will you hnvo mot" Although' fuily expecting the proposal , I had to ploco both hands ever my heart to pre vent the bolt slipping off. In n broticn voice , with frequent pauses /or breath , I told her thnt it could , never , never be. That steoulo no longer wobbled , having been braced anaw. aud the future hold out no brighthope. . It grieved mo to reject her love , but I had to tlo it. She must have realized how much In earnest I wns , and how painful it was to go back on a girl six feat long , and for a time she was pensive nnd thoughtful. It was her first odor , and to bo rejected was Ilko the stab of a Itnlfo. By nna by , however , she tallied from the blow. She bit off about thrco inches of the root for a now quid , kicked a horsolly olT the hind leg of old Uoobin , and forgivingly said : "Wall , old man , I'm going to lot you off , owing to circumstances , but that tin peddler coruin up the road is my mutton or you'll hear of a tragedy 1" That ovoulng tao tin peddler drove Into the villaco where I was stooping , nnd I made some Inquiries. Ha was a doomed inau. Ho had piomiscd to bo heri , and her old dud wns guarding the road out of town with a shot gun to see that ho didn't escape. THE ROAR OF GREAT CMS. Hero are two field battorlos- twelve , six ttiicl ulnc-poundcrs in all firing as rapidly as they cau bo loaded. The reports blend into a roar , and you must rolso your voir-o as if a hurricane was howling about you. You are not. . impressed , but rather aggravated and uuunjcd. ' .there's a snap to each report , line the cracking of a great whip a spiteful souud which reminds vnu of a dog following at your heels witti his yelp ! yelp ! yclpl There is no moro trying situation for a soldier than to bo lying down m support of a battery. He is only a few yards in front of the guns , and bo not only feels thn full force of the concussion as communicated to the earth from the "lilck" of ido puu , but the re port itself seems to strike the spinal column and travel uu to the back of the bond. Then , too , tticro is tlio fear of shells exploding pre maturely or of grape and canister "drib- blitijr , " to cause wounds or death , and it is u positive relief to see a column of the enemy break cover for a charge. Tbo roar of the guns does not linger for hours after , ns Is tbo case with morturs and sicgo guns but vou llud your nerves on edge and your temper spoiled for a davor two. The mou who lav in lines with a battery tiring over thorn pro bably endured more mental suffering than tbeeuemy at whom the guns were pointed. The llro of great guns Is terribly trying for tno llrst fe\v minutes , but tills feeling grad ually gives way to ouo of awe aud sublimity. There U something so tomtit : and appall ing you feel yourself BO utomloss In com parison thai you would speak in whispers if the roar should suddenly cease. You are an onlooker ; If assisting to work a gnuphysical activity would take away from the mental strain. When Admiral Porter got his twenty mortar boats , ouch armed with n oitrlit and a half ton mortar and a thlrty-two-pouna rifle boll , at work acnlnsi the forts below New Orleans , and tlio big guns iu both forts had opened in reply , tticro was somothlug altiu to the sound of heaven and earth coming to gether. The mortar shells weighed ever SOU pounds apiece , and the rush of them through tbo air made one's hair feel as if it crawled. When the llnug had contlnuca uiitlll all re ports huu been merpccHtito ono steady roar there was llttlo short of an earthnuako on hind or sea for ten miles around. Ttio earth shook as If a great stouni hammer was pounding It n few yards from your feet. If standing near u tree you could fool the roots letting go of the soil with a ouud Ilko bugs crawling over dry leaves. On the water great mud spots rojo up hero und thnro to show where tbo earth fortv foot below hud been disturbed. In the Mississippi river it- sell hugo cattish leaped above thu surface In fright and palu or floated bally un and UTro carried along with the current gasping for breath. Outonbluo water nir bubbles as larco as dining plates floated to the surface and burstcd with a snap , and llsh ot till klnJs exhibited the greatest con f usiou and alarm. Thirty n.llos nwny the roar was Ilko that of a t'nlo swooping ever a pine forest , 1 lorscs and cattle sought to hide away , birds How about uttering cries of distress and dojrs pointed their noses toward the suy and hnwloil dismally , Jilrda and fowls felt tbo air unit earth waves long before human be ings did , and their uctlont were BO queer as to become ularinlng. Tbe coming of the roar to tliosoafur off wnj preceded by a Jarring of the earth und a moaning In the air. Bptings overflowed nnu the water In wells circled around as in a whirlpool. The wlldast species o ) birds left the wood * and thickets and ctiuio Hying about the houses , and rub- bits dosortpiltliolr burrows and sought tbo companionship of domonlo anlmala. The thunder nUirms of a score of years combined could not have rent the hcurous nor din. turbod the solid earth as that , cauonado did- It the bozlntilug was painful and oxnspnr- ullng the ending was something to bo remem bered for its grandeur. Ono mortar after another , ono great guu after another was silenced by order. The levcrberatlons had traveled through air and oattb and water a OUtanco of fifty miles. They now uuomod to return back to the gum. Tim rout and riven skies had kept up a constant inoaulag and comulaloiug. Tbosp oundi gradually died away , as a man In pain finally drops off to sleep. Tlio earth resumed its solidity again , the sun aLown forth Iu Us old famllar way nod the bank ot clouds piled up in the wont nnd tinged with gold all alo&g their lower edges seemed proot to tbo eye that the world still .stood as > vo had lived hi it tbo day before - fore Itioso monsters awoke and demanded human blood ana wreck ana destructlonsa the price of thulr aileuce.

It was organized In April , 1S01 , iu the counties of Stark , Colum bia , Mauonlnc anil Summit mnlnly , nnd alao in ndjolnmir counties In Ohio. Its ilrst colonel was Samuel Beatty , Mandorson was In the thrco uioritbs servtco , tbo captain of tbo right IIauk company of the ruelmcnt , having enlisted as a nrivato the day that the news of Sumpter came , hut Joining with Deatty In raising a company , lieatty became a captain oud Mnndorson a llrst lloutouant.

It w.a3 diu-lnjr the slogo efFort Fort Dounolson in February , ' 02 , that ho foil , shot through the cheolc by a minnlo ball , which tore away his palate and loft him unable to move a rausclo. TIe retained uonscloitiineas , however , tiblo to understand all that was goinir on about him. Ho 'laid on the ground twenty-four hours when a detachment of comrades came to bury the daad. Ho could hoar them talk na they per formed their sad duty nndwhen they had completed his grave ho learned from their conversation that ho was to bo interred with Com rade Hal torn. The boldiors placed the corpse of his cofnrado in the grave. Two of them then rolled. Mr. TOWJIBCUI ! into hie blanket and lifted him from the ground. His form was limp and one of them suspected that life was not yet ex tinct , and they loft him unburied until they had completed their litbk. They returned in nnlhour nnd after some debate - bate decided tSf tTvlco him to camp. The same day ho , v\\as \ placed on board a steamer with aj.hpr wounded to bo taken to St. Louisoa ® n the way the boat stopped to burjt those who had suc cumbed to wounds and again they gath ered about hint&to decide whether ho was nlivo orj"aead. All save a citizen physician of Stt'l.ouis wore of the opin ion that ho slKu d bo buried with the others , and it fway only through his in tervention tbfif Mr. Townsend was saved. Ilavingv arrived at St. Louis this physlcianjv to vindicate his judgment , toekn $ charge of his case. The llrst Ijirfo that Jilr.

JHis recovery was slow , but it came , and ho returned to Owen county. His power of speech had left him , and in tho"rroof 'of his mouth was a hole through which , by the aid of a glass , could be seen the optic nerves. For several years ho was deprived of the power of speech , until a drunken , roving doctor cruno along and out of a silver quarter hammered u piato which ho inserted - sorted in the mouth to cover the hole loft by the loss of his palate. He soon WUB able to converse , nnd today ho speaks with remarkable clearness. His chief suffering comes from nervous trouble and dimness of vision caused by the wound. Ho is ono of those who draw a pension by special act of con gress. A Stiitiio to MiPfldilil. There is n movement on foot to erect a statue in Golden Gate park , San" Fran cisco , to General'- Philip H. Sheridan , which promises to bo crowned with suc cess , as the gentlemen back of it are workers and very earnest in their pur pose. The nucleus of the fund which will bo required for carrying out the project , says the Chronicle , will como from the proceeds of a celebration of March 17 , at which'a committee of ono hundred citizens was selected to cooperate - ate with the gentlemen who conceived the idea of honoring the hero of Win chester , and to devise methods by which a sufficient amount can bo secured to make the tribute n worthy ono. General Sheridan has a record for gal lantry which appeals to every American. His dtibh nnd bravery have been the theme of Hpeoch and song. Ho is ono of the few heroes of the war whoso acts commanded general admiration. Ho crept into the hearts of the people and caused them to turn their eyes from the dull and sickening spectacle of men being killed to kindle with enthusiasm ever a gallant achievement. This fool ing has not died out ; It only slumbers , to bo awukonod by an appeal such as that about to bomade to flttingly com memorate in Sail Francisco u man of whom all Amorlcans are proud. A Cliunvn Ai Ingorsoll told a > good story to a party of gentlemen who were sailing upon him at the DeniBon. o , wcoks ago , eays the Indianapolis Joiui/U. : ; / A gentleman on- toi-od a street c.afjft'/idHook ' / UN Boat op- poslto a line , poffi aristocratic-looking personage , whom liu at once thought lie recognized.
