The University offers a broad and manly spirit. It places manliness and humanity above sectionalism, sectarianism, and political partisanship. It is a State institute, governed by the Legislature, and it invites to its opportunities of culture all the youth of the State, of whatever re- faith, political belief or geographical section. It is a little world itself, a sort of state, where young men of all classes, conditions, faiths, and talents mingle freely together on terms of equality, breathe the atmosphere of liberal culture, and learn the lessons of self reliance, of respect for the opinions of others and of love for truth- There is no place where a young man learns so quickly that he must stand on his merits.

It has for some time been an open secret that the leader of the Republican and Third parties had entered into a combination in this county for the purpose of defeat- tho Democratic party, now there be no possible doubt of it. At the meeting of the Board of County last week, when they were considering tho appointments of Registrars and Inspectors of Election, the Chairman of the Republican com- and tho Chairman of Third party committee, presented petitions for the appointment of two inspectors, and what was amusing about tho whole matter was that of the twenty-two names on each petition they were cal, except in two solitary Neither of the petitions con- the name of a single Re- publican.

He spoke of the faction expressed by both of these at the ticket nominated by the Democratic convention in May. The Farmer under flaming head lines and crowing roosters declared it a great victory for the Alliance, and Butler up near the close of July was ad- the ticket and declaring it would be suicidal to the inter- of the Alliance and the State to bring out a Third party ticket- Now both of these had right over were doing all in their power to defeat the ticket they had helped to May. which meant giving the State back into the hands of the Republican party if their pose can be accomplished. He said he was an good an Alliance- man as ever, and deeply regretted that designing men and office seekers had been allowed to con- it and break down its power and influence for good. Ho said it was folly to think any reforms could be accomplished by turning against the Democratic party. Stay the party and light for re- forms within the ranks.

The few that have opposed nominating a ticket have only done so because they wanted to encourage among the Democrats. All Third can see now that they have only been duped by their Republican friends it will be manly them now to show these Republicans that they are conscious of this by returning to the Democratic party and fight tho same old enemy they have been fighting for the past twenty- five years- Dr. Exum is reported saying that he had telegraphed S. Otho Wilson that he need not make any more appointment for him if the Republicans nominated a ticket. It is to be hoped this is true and that his example will be followed by Butler and others who are among the more gent of the Third party leaders. White men come back into the Democratic party and let all of fight OUT common enemy. At the recent Republican Convention held hero for tho purpose of appointing delegates to tho State Convention.

But it m in the middle of a and summer when the deed was done. As yet I am not alluding to any- thing mysterious at all. at the same time I am anxious to explain how it was that I. a humble and not altogether solitary English man. found myself located in the Hotel at berg. I was traveling alone one summer time, full of health and uncommonly full of and rashly got out of the Rhine steamer at in order to a flying visit to a miniature Paris, hedged with avenues and to the and deliver some letters of in- to an English engineer, who was doing his best to make tin- stolid Germans energetic, and make a fortune during the enviable process.

We were friends once, and a few noun after my were raid and thrown aside, I found myself walking with my arm in his toward that cozy and hospitable mansion in which lie lived, and where he had introduced that de- home feeling, and those pleasant family associations, so dear to the strange to the foreign mind. Hero was a miniature English home planted in a strange land, and I can tell you it was by no means ob- to enjoy my cut of joint under his mahogany in the company of men worth talking to and women decidedly worth admiring. I an now gradually nearing the point. Before the next sun sank my portmanteau was moved from the hotel to my friend's house, and the first night I slept under his table roof I was dreaming, strange to say, of his daughter. There was no help for it. It was the very place of all others to make love in. It was the very weather of all weather for tho operation. A house surrounded by a wilder- of varied trees overarching one another, and making love in their quaint and fanciful fashion; a lake at the end of tho garden full of late weeds, and owning a crazy old boat; a soft croquet lawn for the more worldly, and bright flowers for the lovers of nature; a sun which perpetually gleamed upon the warm, white house, and laughter forever out of such a place as this was the one of all others love in. They her Annabel, and I called her so first on the brightest of nil the moonlight nights, when half a dozen of us had been frightening the girls in the shrubbery, and we found ourselves deny that it was the gloomy lake. There we were. Tho one word came trembling from my lips, and the one look which her an- eyes gave me persuaded me I had not made a mistake. We were engaged, and a few days after I left for England with all the parental got husband that was to be of as true and sensible and as pure a woman as ever fell to a young fellow's lot. This was in the summer time, and at midwinter I found myself, of course, at the at An- It was a bitterly cold winter, but I heeded it not. The thoughts of see- her again almost warmed me. My excitement to get away from London was tremendous. I was bound for Germany and my love. My holiday was short, but under the circumstances where in the whole world could it better spent And what with sleeping and and dreaming and thinking and fidgeting and longing, I arrived after midnight at the It was too late to present myself at the white house. Besides, I was not presentable. I was dirty, and woebegone from con- traveling. A quiet night at the hotel I thought the best plan, that I might myself and span the next morning. Such precautions as these should never be forgotten. The female mind is generous but susceptible, and this susceptibility not conquers generosity. I de- to be on the right side of the hedge, and made up my mind for a refreshing sleep at the But reckoned without my host- It was after when I drove up to the hotel from tho and though, as luck would have I it. mine host had not retired for tho night, I found anything but pleasant news awaiting me.

He also consulted a very sleepy and obstinate kind of man who seemed determined not to smile or genial, and appealed to a quiet and fiendish delight in my misery. yes; there was one There was one room; but should I object. There was not somebody, but something in it. What is I asked blank I looked astonished. there is nothing to lie alarmed my host, wondering at the curious expression of countenance I had assumed. The fact of the matter is An officer, who is to be attached to the cavalry regiment quartered in the town, telegraphed to me only this morning for a room which he always uses. He said that he would send on his luggage lief ore- hand, and arrive by the last train to- night. The luggage, consisting of this one black box, arrived, not be- forehand, but on tho last train, and as the officer has not up to this mo- made his appearance, and as I cannot imagine that he is remaining so late with any friends in the town, there will surely be no harm in your occupying his Accordingly I went very grateful- up to bed, and too tired oven to take tho precaution of locking my door. I surveyed tho black box for a few minutes, wondered how officers could use such ridiculous and sightly coffers for conveying their impedimenta and very shortly after turned into bed. I was dead tired, but, strange to say, I was restless and could not sleep; indeed I was, if anything, overtired. I was excited with my rapid excited with the thought of see- worried with the pro- of the landlord and curious the black box. I was gradually becoming excited about this box. I fancied all sorts of horrors. My mind wandered from the murderer, to the horrible tragedy; from Portia to Bluebeard; from the narrative of the to the thrilling tragedy of the -Iron which I had seen during Mr. Charles Kean's manage- at the Princess theater. then I suppose from sheer fa- I must have dozed.

There was no use denying was in a terrible fright. I don't mind the natural, but I have a holy horror of the supernatural. I was in a fevered, nervous and state, and in that horrible con- between sleeping and waking I hardly knew what I was about. Still the the box rose grad- There was no doubt about it. Then a head appeared and it looked stealthily around the room. I instantly pretended to fall asleep, and gave a very good imitation of a snore. The head lengthened into a body. The lid of the box flew back, and a short, thickset man stepped out of his hiding place. It was no ghost. He paid no attention to my Jewel- but made at once for the door. He walked as noiselessly as a cat, and slipped quietly out of the room. There was no time to be lost. I hurried on a few articles of provided myself with a stout wait- stick, the only thing I had handy, thrust my money and jewels into my pockets and started off on the pursuit. I was wide awake by this time, and was now terribly eager to arrest my midnight visitor. I was determined not to arouse the house until it was absolutely The clock struck three as I darted into the passage to surprise him. Down stairs went-in than no time. But I was too late. Those minutes occupied in collecting my valuables and slipping on my things were all wasted time. There was no trace of him. It was terribly dark In the passages, and I was rather nervous of a sud- den encounter in the dark. Besides he might have firearms, while I was comparatively unarmed. The notion of coming flop up against him in the pitch darkness some portion of my Besides, while I was reflecting what to do and where to go, I found that I had lost myself entirely. I knew nothing about the ins and outs of the rambling old hotel, and I bad not taken my bearings and forgot the number of my room. I wandered about the passages for quite half an hour, and at last, after a fruitless search for the mysterious man in the box, I happily discovered a half open door and found out my room by my boots. Now came the question what There was no trace of the man in the room. Tho door of the room was open as I left it, but the black box was shut. What should I do Should I alarm the house and get called a fool for my pains, supposing the box was dis- covered empty Should I lift the lid and risk everything in a final Should I lock the door from the out- side or lock the door from the inside and go to bed again I went deliberately up to the hex and struck it violently with my stick.

It was a very odd case, and it excited much interest in the town. A farmer named Broughton, t ear Janesville, has a neighbor who owned a blooded bull. This bull broke into a field of and that farmer, in an attempt to drive him out, rather got the worst of it. The bull chased him, and as the pursued and pursuer reached the fence tho bull aided Mr. Broughton in scaling it. He took him on his horns and threw bodily over it. Broughton warned the owner that ho must keep the animal tied up or there would lie trouble. No attention, however, was paid to the warning, and only a few days after first mishap the bull was found again hi field. Calling to his help some of his men, Broughton got the bull into his barn, where injuries were inflicted upon it from which it died. The owner of tho bull sued Broughton for the value of the beast and that gentle- man retained Billy Smith as his counsel.
