"I'm Mrs. Wheeler Squire Wheel er's second wifo, ho being a widower when I married him ; and most folks know how Sqniro Wheelor used to be a 'kind of a distracted man when I first married him, and how he kept on being distracted for a considerable spoil of time, so's I r'ally didn't feel to expect he'd ever get out of the habit. lie didn't keep no recollection of events, somehow, and did Bort o' curious things. Put on the big, strip ed arm-chair cover instead of his dressing-gown, and went about with ono shoe and one slipper on, wonder in' what made him bitch so, till I told him. He fetched home my bandbox from tho milliner's, and a new coal scuttle from the store, one day, and when he came in he throwed the bandbox into the fireplace, and sot the scuttle on my work-table; and one day I jest saved him from takin' shot instead o' pills. "I'd knowod he was sort o' curious before he came to.see me, and I larnt it well durin' that timo, for you see he built a new house for me while wo was a courtin' ; and he took me over for to see it arter 'twas all painted and calcimined, and papered; and wbilo I was lookin' at it up stairs he forgot how's he'd fetched me and went off and locked me in. It was quite well set back from the road, the house was, and all the lower windows was fastened on tho outsido; and I suppose I might have starved there if it hadn't n been for Riker's little boys corain' up about five in the afternoon to steal cherries. They thought I was a ghost, and so brought 6omc folks up to look at me, and I got let out. "I was real mad, I kin toll you, and first on I refused to hev anything to do with the Squire; but ho pleaded with me, went right down on bis knees in his white pants in a mud puddle, and I was tender-hearted. Though I was most sorry I had give in vlien he weut down to tbe villago aud opened his office one Sunday. I'd no idee what he'd done until he came home to dinner. Then he was lookin' at me, and says he: " 'Jcrushy, I guess thero's goin to be a weddin'; there's crowds of folks goiti' into (he church.' " 'A weddiu' Sunday?' says I. "'Law!' says he, I thought 'twas Saturday, and I've been sotten at my desk, full face of all the folks, writin' the huil niornin' me a deacon, tool' "Then I called him 'a distracted old critter!' "However, I got over that, and he scorned to be goin' along better than usual, when one day be was goiu' to start for Ihccily. He was all fixed up and the Squire's a personable man when he's gut hirf best clothes 011 ho was all fixed up, mid had a new blue cravtit, and a white bat and kid K loves; and I was kiuderadorin'liim, when it struck me that the clock had slopped, and that I shouldn't know tin: lime (or all day. " 'Adonirain.'says I 'Admiiram.do tel! 1110 the lime ho'h to set Hie clock.' "The Squirt; lie was just figuring up to got expenses all right and didn't want to slop, go he ou fastened hid watch oil' Hie chain, aud handed it to me, and 1 went into the kitchen to net the clock. I was quick as lightning, hut bless you ! when I came back the Squire was gone. The buggy was most out of sight. "'What a provokin' thing!' says I. 'Gone to town without his watch. He wou't know about the tiains or any thing.' And I fretted about it all day. Well I might; I didn't know what good reasou I had to do it. "The boy brought the buggy back, aud said the Squire hadn't missed his walch, and that he'd gone off on the right train. And the Squire he got to New York all right, as I after wards knew, and about ten o'clock Cousin Peter Jones stopped in, and f-aid he was going lo NVw York, too. "I want to know,' says I 'whore will you dine?' " 'The Stuficm House,' says he. "'Oh,' says I. 'Well, Adoniram, he'll dine there, too, and you'll meet him there. Just take his watch along, won't you, and give it to him.' "So Peler says : 'All right, pleased to do it,' and put it loose in his left vest pocket bis own was in his right and off he went. " 'Some chance of Adoniram's get ting home to-night, now,' says I, and felt more comfortable. "Little I knew. "Peter went down to the city got there at noon, and made straight for the hotel. Adoniram wasn't there yet, and Peler is always tryiug ex periments with himself; so he thought he'd go into the barber's shop and have his whiskers and mustache phaved off aud his hair shingled. And I must say for my poor husband that I shouldn't have known him from a crow. Ilis ears sot out so, and he looked so lantern-jawed. He'd worn tbe beard ten years, aud always had his hair long; and having fixed himself up after that fashion, he went out again, aud there was the Squire coming up the slreet. ''Now, Peler is always for haviug his joke, and what should he do but bide behind a pile of shutters and bolt out at the Squire, and grab him by the collar, aud say : '"You're my prisoner!' "Now the Squire he's sort of seri ous aud he's sort of heavy, end be gavo a jump, and tbero was a banana skin on the sidowalk, and ho slipped on it, and down both of 'em went. A mercy they didn't break thoir legs. But up they got, and the first thing Petor knew tho Squire was holding his collar and yelling 'police !' " 'Squiro ! Squire !' says Peterdon't you know mo ? Don't you know mo ?' "jno, uont want to,' says poor Adoniram. "Then up comes tho police. " 'Arrest (his man,' says tho Squire, 'he collared me in tho street, and I reckon that he's got my watch. You see it's gone. There's tho chain hang ing out of my pocket with no watch on't.' "'I'm his cousin. I camo down last train. He left his watch at home,' says Peter. "And nobody paid any atteution, and they took him to the station and searched him, and there was the Squire's watch in his pocket. "'I fetched it to him,' says poor Cousin Peter. 'His wife asked mo to. I'm, his' own relation, Peter Elimer. Look at me, Squire.' " 'Peter Kilmer's got long hair and a most amazin' beard, you rascal,' Bays the Squire, 'and wheu I left Spotts ville he was abed yet, his folks said.'. "So they locked Peter up for high way robbery, and detaiued the Squiro to appear against him; and about uiue that night, when the last train arriv and went on aud didn't fetch him, me and Cousin Peter's wife sot cryin' in our kitcheu, makin' up our minds wo was both widders. "The only wonder is Petor isn't serving a term in State prison now, for his own wifo couldn't swear to him when she saw him until he show ed hor a daguerr'otypo of both of 'em, hooking arms, that they had taken in their courting days for a locket ho woro; aud it took tho wholo family, and tbe dominie, and Lawyer cfross, and lots of money, to get him off; and then Peter wanted to sue tho Squire for false arrest and imprisonment. "It was a dreadful time, and there was a coolness in the family for years, but good ariz from evil, an tho dom inie said, for tho Squiro isu't half such a distracted man as he used to be, aud he has got a sort of habit of taking notice of what goes on about him." Mary Kyle Dallas, in Jr. Y. Ledger. CSarMeld aad l.lscols. When General Garfield wuh on his way to Washington to bo inaugurated as President of the United States, John 11 , a well known public. mau from Ashtabula, boarded the train. Ilo had been one of Garfield's pupils when the latter (aught school in a little log school house in the Ijiirk woods. As the teacher hoarded wilh Mr. II 's. mother, they hud been uioro intimate than is usual with master and pupil. Many significant stories were told when they met which illustrated the hnrd struggles ol the future I 'resi dent iu his youth. One whs that, ou some occasion he was invited to a country parly, but on tho very day it was to take place he split at the knee one leg ot his Ii-owkith. lie hsd hut one pair of very course jeans, and no money lo buy another. Garlield had set his heart ou going lo the merry making, and was bitterly disap pointed. "You go to bed," said the hostess, "aud let me see what I can do for you." Tbe teacher obeyed, aud in an hour received his trowsers so neatly darned that it was impossible to find where they bad been broken. He thanked her so earnestly, that the good woman cried out : "Never mind, Mr. Garfield! when you are a great man iu the Ohio Legislature, nobody will ask how many pair of trowecrs you had when you taught up here iu the Keserve." This little incident recalls a story told of our other martyred President. In 1330 a traveling peddler came one eveuitig to a cabin in Illinois, and asked the farmer's wife if he could stay at the houso all night. "We can feed your beast," was the answer, "but we cannot lodge you, unless you are willing to sleep with the hired man." "Lets have a look at him lirst," said the peddler. She pointed to the side of the bouse, where a lank, hix-foot man iu ragged but clean clotheF, was strecbed upon the grass reading a book. "He'll do," said the stranger. The "hired Lincoln. man" was Abraham The Drift ol the Miteat Vote. There has beeu iu Maine no trans fer of republican ballots to the dem ocratic side. Ou the other hand, there has been an extraordinary re publican gaiu at the expense of the democracy. The drift of the silent vote, about which we hear so much, has not been from tbe republican candidate to the democratic. The movement is altogether away from Cleveland and toward Blaine. It is a very striking fact. JVewj York Sun, Dem.) Two New Englaud, Pa., friends were walking by a gallows, when the elder one asked the other, "Where would you be if that tree bore its proper fruit?" "Traveling alone, bir," wti tbe immediate reply. "THE WATCHMAN'S" VOICE. "Little- Mack," of tke Miaaeari. For. aally Coasigas Mr. Cleveland to Defeat. Mr. F. M. MacDonagh, editor of the Nebraska Watchman, published iu this city, has "como out" in favor of Blaine and Logan. Mr. MacDonagh has, as a general matter, been inde pendent in his support of political candidatos. Ho has not been at the back of any political party but has supported and denounced official aspirants as, in his estimation, they justified the ono aud moritod the oth er. As a consequence, very frequent ly his has been an electic ticket and many of thoso whom ho has support ed, have also found favor with tho people. "Littlo Mac," as the editor, is ono of tho oldest and most widely known journalists in this state. His support of Blaine will therefore be extensively heralded throughout the state. "Little Mac" is also an Irish man, and his support of Mr. Blaine and Mr. Logan will therefore strong ly appeal to his countrymen in Ne braska. WE'RE FOR BLAINE. We have waited many weeks floun dering among charges and counter charges of tbe presidential candidates, in search of evidence and facts, and here is our conclusion : The charges against Blaine have been satisfactorily explaiued and proven cither false, misconstrued or distorted ; while tho charges against Cleveland aro unauswered and unan swerable, and he stands boforo us a decidedly unfit candidate for tho presidency. Descended from a race of bigots, bo has shown himself a con temptible, narrow-minded bigot in lobbying tbe "freodom of worship" bill to its dofcat in tbe democratic assembly after it passed tho republi can senate. Know-nothing Bragg of Wisconsin, "thanked God and loved Cleveland for the enemies be bad made," viz., the Irish Americans, aud, as he said, "tbe Irish can go to hell, the demo cratic parly cau get along without I hem." May-bo it can. We'll see. Now, we aver that Irish Americans detest Clevelaud for tho friends he has made; tho British government send ing money for his election, tho Eng lish newspapers at home aud abroad, and such papers as tho New York Times, owned and controlled by Eng lish opinion ; Harper's Pictorial Pole cat, that always pictured an Irishman liko Darwin's grandfather, the baboon. Clevelaud will not carry Ohio. He will not carry New York. He will scarcely carry a northern slate and not all of the southern. Blaine will. The longer tho campaign lasts, the weaker grows Cleveland, the stronger grows Blaine. We have the docu ments to buck up our convictions. We are for lllaine.- Omaha Jtcjml'lican. How .lluay know' In these days of campaign vituper ation and-ljing, and these democratic allnnpts to construct mountains out ot inole-hilis, let men of sense stop and think! Read the whole Fisher & Mulligan series of letters and then ask yourself what is there iu them ? Mr. IMaino is nobly vindicated by their publication ! How many know 1. That the Little Uock and Fori Smith Railroad bill passed both Houses of Congress unanimously. 2. That Mr. Blaine's ruling on it was right and just and could not have been withheld in honor. 'A. That wheu it was made ho did not have the acquaintance of a single person interested in the road or in strumental in promoting the passage of the bill. 4. That ho alluded to his connec tion with the bill after his interest in the road had been obtained. 5. That the bill was a declaratory statute merely, not granting lands nor reviving a dormant or lapsed grant, and conferring no original nor substantial rights nor benefits. 0. That the investment was a losing one. 7. That Mr. Blaine honorably shouldered all the loss and restored to his friends every cent they had invested in the bonds ou his repre sentations. 8. That in the letters addressed to Fisher he said he had done the friends of the bill "a service without know ing it." 'J. That instead of obtaining a favor through the managers of tbe road he suffered a severe pecuniary loss. 10. That his ruling as Speaker was in no sense caused by his interest in the road, but was fix months ante cedent to his obtaining a share in it. 11. That he did uot rule iu favor of the hill (which passed both Houses unanimously) because he wa inter ested iu the road, but became inter ested in the road because his atten tion was directed to it during the passage of the bill through Congress. 12. That the land-grant was simply restored to the State of Ar kansas, which conferred it upon tbe road. Yi. That the justice of tbe bill continuing tbe grant and the right fulness of Mr. BlaineV. ruling in point ot law have not been disputed from that day to this, and cannot be. The American people possess an inherent abiding lovo for fair play and as surely as election day comes, will tell these slanderers at the polls what their opinion is of this species of campaign warfare. FOREIGN-BORN CITIZENS. Itegaa Repliea to Headrieka Falla cies of tae Latter Exploded. Mr. Logan, in a spocch delivered by him at Toledo, Ohio, replying to some of the falso statements of Mr. Hen dricks, referred as follows to the action of thctwo parties in tho rights of citizens of former birth when abroad : Mr. Hondricks last night, if ho is correctly roportcd in tho nowspapors, Btated to his audienco that tho Repub lican party had boon derelict in its duty toward foreigners in this land, who had boon pormittod to suffer, be cause of the failure on tho part of tho Republican party to porform their duty. Now, I am sorry that Mr. Hen dricks made that statement. For forty years ago, as ia well-known by every reader of political history iu this country, and I speak of that timo, because of the fact that tho Democrat ic party controlled tho Government nearly all that timo, foreign Govern ments, led by England announced tho doctrine that "once a citizen always a citizeu"; that the doctrine of self ox patriatiou was not a correct doctriuo ; that a citizen did not thereby sever his allegiance from tho mother country ; aud if he returned to his native land they bad control over him as a citizen of their owu Government. While tho Democratic party stood in control of this country let ray fricud Hendricks point out one singlo statuto that was enacted by tho Democratic party de claring that the citizon of tho United States should bo protected, whether ho was a uativo or foreign boru citi zen, when ho passed back to bis uativo country. Now, I toll you, to-night, that it was left for the Republican party, iu 1SGS, to pass a law declaring that a citizen of this country, foreign boru, should bo protected ou his own mother soil, in porson and property, the same as if ho were a native born citizen, and never was that doctrino enunciated in a statuto of this country by the Democratic party. Nor was it ever done until, as I said, the Repub lican party announced the doctrine, and it was because of the fact that persons of foreign birth, who had taken the oath of allegiauco to this country returned to their former homes and were impressed into tho army. Now, then, why should Gov ernor Hendricks say that the Repub lican parly had failed to perform ila duty toward foreign born citizens? 1 am sorry to hear a mau running for the high office that be is, inako such a statement, when he must know that he can ho contradicted by overy stat ute on the books, and that the Repub lican party performed an act that he claimed never was performed by llieui.

We warned its authors before the nominal inn at Chicago that I hey were, engaged in an enterprise whieh was doomed to disaster; and this doom is now so plainly apparent that only the blind can fail to see it. New Yark Smi, ( Dcm.) Hondricks has said so much about "overhauling the books" that the de partments at the scat of government began to feel a little uneasy and have beeu taking a look through uome ol the old accounts. The news waa re ceived iu Indiana the other day that they had just commenced turning over the leavos of Tommy's records when he was commissioner of lauds. The fright and indignation was very great in democratic circles and the leading organs of" the party do not hesitate to say that it is an insult and outrage to go as far back as that. Slate Journal. Democratic newspapers and politi cians were greatly exercised over the nomination of II. II. Shcdd for lieu tenant governor by the republican, because that gentleman fc a prohibi tionist. The same newspapers and politicians arc now placed iu an agreeable position by the action of their own convention in the nomina tion for the same position of L. C Pace. Mr. Pace is well kuowu as a prohibitionist aud has made speeches for tbe prohibition movement. Our democratic frieuds cannot Ray much on this poiut now. Seward Re porter. CiTizENsmr of the republic must be the panoply and safeguard of him who wears it. The American citizen, rich or poor, native or naturalized, white or colored, munt everywhere walk secure in his personal aud civil rights. The republic should never accept a leser duty, it can never as sume a nobler one, than the protection of the humblest man who owes it loy alty protection at home, and protec tion which shall follow him abroad, into whatever land he may go upon a lawful errand.
