Accordiug to tho reports over twelve
thousand persons in India duriu; the
last three yeara lmo been killed by lb
gen, while more than twcnty-fivo thou
sand have fallen victims to suakc bites.
The Hartford Coutant thinks that the
statistics of this country would be moro
ghastly than this if we should reckon up
the destruction of life and property
caused by the tigers and wild beasts and
serpents that, iu both city and country,
ucl: the blood of old and ouug, and,
larking in groggerie3 and dens of vice,
spring out upon tho unwary, lha ignorant,
the careless, and the indolent Tho
CouranCs remarks have an application
outside of New England
Wo can point to Inre Nation of
New Knglaud that are being ruined if
not depopulated by something wors
thau snake bites. The homo mission i
ries find towns where the faring are ui'j
lected and dwellings dilapidate!, tin;
school-house in a tumble-down stat..-,
the church without a minister and al
most without a roof. It may ho that
the enterprise and young blood of the
town has gone to tho West or to the
cities for a career, but the missionary
will be pretty sure- to liod two or throe
mean grog-shops in tho town, which ab
sorb all the vitality left in tho people
and plaster the farms with mortgage.',
ft is noticed that if you plant a grog
shop in a thriving village much the
same effect is produced as when a tiger
establishes his quarters near a town in
BenL'al. It will desolate the village.
The most numerous victims are the
workingnicii. Tho woikingmen do not
always understand the raue of their
disaster. Titty are apt to tolerate the

hours, and to met and pass resummons

UoRtxa for Nkws. Since the
great
eonflugration, the reporters of the Chi
cago press have been engaged in the al
rno-t hopeless task of getting at the
mystery of the cow on DeKoyen street,
which is said to have kicked a kerosene
lamp over by which the city was fired.
The following is the experience of one
of these enterprising bores with Mrs.
Leary, the owner of the famous cow
Good day, my good woman," paid
the reporter, fiuc day tliis.

This indirect questioning would, clear
ly, load to nothing but vexation, and
the reporter determined to cent3 beat
in about the bush.
Mrs. JiCiry, I

'Kxcusj me; I thought, perhaps

Chewing the cud of sweet and bit
ter fancy,'' the reporter struck a cowp-ath
ibr Iiorne.
The fashionable color for fancy djgs'
j ackets are a follows: For black nnd
tans, scarlet triininod with blue: for
Italian greyhounds, pale blue with gold

Ocorsc JI. Worker on Varljmtnter-
f rattan,
Tho follow'tug is tho trxt of a h iter
addressed by Hon. Gcor'c H. Parker,
i
a leading Democrat of Davenport, Iowa,
to tho Chicago Time, whish appeared
in that journal of the !29th ult.
Having faithfully served as a mombcr
of tho Democratic organization for over
twenty years, and still having the fullest,
confidenco iu tho cardinal principles of
that party, I am compelled to declare
mylconvictiou that the organizitiou lias
outlived its usefulness, and that it is the
duty of the Democrats t o; ealy ac
knowledge that the Ddmocratii; party is
dead. All efforts nt departure r to or
ganize it into life havo proven a fiiluro
Tho prestige of its general j..dL'y, or
rather lack of policy, duriug the late
war, will cling to it and prevent its suc
cess, no matter how much we may be-
comj purinea y v. change ot neart.
ihe result of tho recent ideations is a
sufficient proof of this fact. We on
organize by forming some integral part
ot a new pin, Mini protmdy resurrect
our principles Hut the body must be
Imri-'.d, ami the sitwhot it putrid ro 1
mains iemoV(Ml from tho public nostrils, j
Tho present is the proper emergency to;
test tho p triotism ot tho members ot
the Democratic party. If Ave love our
country better than wo do our party,
abandon the organization au 1 unit- with
patriot?, disregarding political anteced
ents; and wo may reasonably hope for
a change of administration in 1872 that
will protect and guarantee equal rights
to all seetiona of our. common country.
Centralized power will vanish, the war!
will Koon bi fnrir"iHit. Mini niir fonntrv
will asram be peacefully prosperous an
happy.

Grant a second time with the Picsi

position will make itself heard and will
give reasons enough for the opinions it

Grant lets (to put the case mildly) but!
we hold that there are a score ot lie
publican Statesmen, of dignity and abil
ity, whoso claims upou tho country and
tho party are immeasurably greater than
those of the gentleman who is now the
President. And this we propose to dis
cuss, notwithstanding the assertion of
the Grant papers to the effect that tho
matter has been all fixed up that
Grant, aod Grant alone, is the coming
man, and that nobody vhi nesd be
