TUESDAY NIGHT’S DEMONSTRATION
Tor some few days previous, the propriety of
having a torch-light procession, illumination
and “ high jubilee” generally, in honor of the
great National Democratic Victory, had been
discussed and, to some extent, agreed upon
—to come off Tuesday night last. But a3
the time drew near, and the accounts from
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana not
proving so entirety satisfactory as some would
wish, the project had been well nigh or quite
given up. However, as word could not be
sent to all who had understood the “demon
stration” would come off for “sure,” the con
sequence was that a goodly number of the
bo} s of the town as well as country were
on hand at dark Tuesday, “ armed and equip
ped for a torch-light procession. And to
help matters along, just in the “ nick of time,”
up came that staunch “colored democrat,”
Aker Randolph, with as much “torch-pine”
as Ball could Well navigate under, in the
one-ox chariot of his master. And for fear
of an omission, we will state here, that “ Ball”
with bis master and travelling equipage was
a piominent feature in the cveninsr’s hilaritv.
But to resume from where we digressed—the
arrival of Aker and his vehicle of pine, was
the signal for action, and soon the welkin’
was ringing with the loud lmzzahs of a por
tion of Jackson s “Young Democracy.”
In less time than it takes to relate it, the
torches are “ fired up,’ and a procession com
posed of all sizes and colors, in which every
one was his own “ field marshal,” marched
down from the Court-house square to the foot
of Sycamore street, then wheeling, returned ;
in the meantime, giving cheer after cheer as
they passed the residences of Prof, Glenn
and the other “ noble Romans” whose domi
cils were on the line of march.
Arriving on the “square,” the concourse,
now considerably augmented, halt in front
of the “ old Venable Corner,” when calls loud
and numerous were made for W. C. Howard,
Esq. Mr. Howard, stepping to the front of
the piazza, responded in a hearty and appro
priate speech of a few minutes and then re
tired, amid prolonged cheers for Tilden and
Hendricks, Hampton and Reform.
Col. J. A. B. Mahaffey was then called for.
This young gentleman—always at the post of
duty—responded handsomely in a well-timed
speech of some ten or fifteen minutes, when
he retired amid the “ booms” of an impromp
tu cannon and the cheers of his delighted au
ditory. Both Mr. Howard and Mr. Mahaffey,
made it a point to speak particularly to the
colored people present, in a plain and practi
cal style, and with good “impress” we think.
At this juncture, the “illuminators” again
move, this time up medianicatrcet—rending
the ai'- with their shouts for the heroes of re
form. Having proceeded up this thorough
fare as far as desired, their steps are retrac
ed to the “ square.” A halt is again made,
when a number of gentlemen were called out,
one after another, and who responded most
heartily and eloquently to the request of the
multitude. We learn that Prof. Glenn. Maj.
Poole, Judge McDonald. J. M. Potts, Esq.,
and others, perhaps, all did honor to the oc
casion by their stirring and enthusiastic
words of good cheer and encouragement.—
These speeches we did not hear, having
sought our “retreat” after the speeches of
Messrs. Howard and Mahaffey.
This demonstration was simply an outburst
of spontaneous enthusiasm, which it was im
possible to keep down. And while there was
no attempt at regularity or system in the pro
ceedings, there was nothing took place, as we
are aware, to inar, in the least, the exuber
ance of the occasion. The “boys” kept up
their fun till a pretty late hour, when at
length, the little town in the “ forest” assum
ed its usual quiet aspect, and “young demo
cracy” sought that repose which is found no
where save in the enjoyment of “tired
nature’s sweet restorer, balmy sleep.”

For the Forest News.
Mr. Editor :— Let me ask you a question
or two. In your last issue I see a few dots
signed “Eureka,” in which your correspon r
dent said this was a peaceful and quiet vil
lage, &c. I will simply repeat that it is, and
we want it to remain so ; and knowing vou
to be a peaceful and quiet man, I want to
know why we have to address you as “ Mr.
Editor” ? Are wo not related, or do you
deny your relationship ? Did not our “King”
go to your city and get his “ Queen” ? Cer
tainlp he did. Well, then, are we not kin-in
law ? If so, own up ; and then I will get
you to inform “ Eureka” that one of our wid
owers has rented a very nice, comfortable
dwelling, and bought him a cooking stove;
and says he will “smole a smile” soon, that
will lay Jim King and Tom Harbor in the
shade. I don’t say it is E. S. W.; because
I must not tell who it is. I will sav. how
ever, that if you will watch you may find out
who it is; for he visits Jefferson sometimes,
and I hear he will be over soon. If I can
find out the time, I will inform you. and then
you will see him certain ; for when he “ sets”
a time to go, lie “ gets up and gits”-*—cold nor
rain never makes him change ; but I believe
hail could. Remember. I. don’t say it is E.
S. W., but you will see who it is in a few
weeks ; no matter if the wind does blow as
strong as that coffee Sheriff Hunter so kindly
gave to some of Jackson county’s fairest
daughters the other morning, as they were on
their way to the Templars’ meeting at Wood's
Camp Ground. And by-the-way. Mr. Editor,
tell Sheriff Hunter if he runs cls strong in the
coming election as that coffee was, he will
come out all right:
Now. Mr. Editor. I have put this preface to
the main question ; I was requested to ask
yon—but hold on ! before vou answer, vou
must promise not to tell your wife, if you
think it will cause a row ; for we are peaceful
and quiet over this way, and want you to be
the same ; but use your own judgment in that
matter. V ell. the question is. some young
ladies wish to know if they will get you a nice
dinner, will you bring Sheriff Hunter over and
dine with them, and acknowledge your rela
tionship ? Please answer. Avis.
T*. S.—-■“ Yacobs” says come, py sheminy,
and he will dine mit dem too—py Shorge,
Harmony Grove , Nov. 13th, 1876.
Most assuredly, Bro. “ Avis.” Please con
vey, in the profoundest terms possible, our
highest regards to those young ladies. Al
though we have but little time for pleasure
and recreation, yet we always make it a point
to go to dinner, provided the important cere
mony takes place within the limits of the
State. And certainly, we shall do our best
to persuade his Honor Sheriff Hunter to ac
company ns. We have not, as yet, “inter
viewed” him on the subject, but judging from
the size of the bucket he brings to town with
him every day, an enterprise of this kind will,
no doubt, receive bis cordial endorsement.
Good Advice to Boys.
The boy who spends an hour of each even
ing lounging idly on the street corners wastes
in the course of a year three hundred and six
tv-five precious hours, which, if applied to
study, would familiarize him with the rudi
ments of almost any of the familiar sciences,
ff in addition to wasting-an hour each even
ing he spends ten cents for a cigar, which is
usually the case, the amount thus worse than
wasted would pay for ten of the leading pe
riodicals of the country. Boys, think of these
things. Think of how much time and money
you are wasting, and for what P The gratifi
cation afforded by the lounge on the corner
or the cigar, is not only temporary but posi
tively hurtful. You cannot indulge in them
without seriously injuring yourselves. You
acquire idle and wasteful habits, which will
cling to you with each succeeding year. You
may in after life shake them off, but the prob
abilities are that the habits thus formed in
early life will remain with you to your dying
day. Be warned, then, in time, and resolve
that as the hour spent in idleness is gone
forever, you will improve each passing one
and thereby fit yourself for usefulness and
happiness. —Pittsburg Gazette.
And girls, will you pardon us—young la
dies we mean—when you become house-keep
ers bear in rnind this fact, that many an hour
is lost in irregular and late meals. Many a
boy has contracted a bad habit by just “ step
ping over to the grocery” while “waiting”
for breakfast, dinner or supper; to say noth
ing of the loss of time to employee or em
ployer.

A New Substitute for Leather.
The last issue of Scribner's .Monthly con
tains an interesting sketch of anew product
designed as a substitute for leather. This
new product is named by the writer as “veg
etable leather;” hnt why the mime “leather”
should be -applied to it, considering that the
definition of the word is “the skin of an ani
mal dressed and prepared for use,” is a ques
tion, as the new invention is composed en
tirely of vegetable matter. Passing the ques
tion of title, however, we present, as a matter
of interest, an account of the material and
process used in manufacturing the so-called
vegetable leather:
The material's are cotton, or cotton waste
or dust, cocoanut fibre and other textile by
products and fmtus crispus, a marine moss
abundant on the New England coast. The
waste is first carded into sheets of wadding
of uniform thickness, and then laid on polish
ed zinc plates, kept at a high temperature,
and treated with a decoction of the fucus till
thoroughly saturated. The sheets quickly
become dry, and in a few minutes may be
lifted from the plates and passed between
hot polished rolls adjusted to give any desir
ed thickness to the finished leather. These
roils are under heavy pressure and complete
ly felt the materials into strong, tenacious
and flexible sheets. The sheets are next
coated with boiled linseed oil and dried in the
open air. or in a dry room. When dry, they
are coated with vegetable wax, and run
through hot fluted rolls, and are finished by
a final passage between polished rolls. The
leather may then be bronzed, silvered, var
nished or otherwise treated like ordinary
leather. To produce a white leather, clean
cotton is used, and the whitest pieces of the
dried moss and bleached linseed oil.
Calcutta, November ff. —The district of
Backergunge was ravaged by a cyclone on
Tuesday last. One thousand of the natives’
houses were destroyed. The town of Diw
lutkh was submerged by the wave. Five
thousand people arc believed to have perished.

Current News.
The entire country being absorbed in the
all important question of “ Who is to be the
Next President ?” there is a dearth in gene
ral or current news, and the same may be
said in regard to local matters.., There is
scarcely anything afloat now, if we may .ex
cept this vital question.
'
THE RESULT.
M e might fill up our paper with telegrams
and speculations as to the vote throughout
the different States of the Union In the Pre
sidential contest oflast week. We feel, how
ever, that this is not what the reader wants.
The only, and great question is, “Is Tilden
and Hendricks elected ?” This, if the news
papers and all other sources of information
are to be relied on, is a fact—settled beyond
dispute. The electoral vote now claimed for
Tilden and Hendricks is as follows:
Alabama, 10
Arkansas, g
Connecticut, 6
Delaware, 3
Florida. 4
Georgia, 11
Indiana, 15
Kentucky, f2
Louisiana, 8
Maryland, 8
Mississippi, 8
Missouri, 15
New Jefsey, 9
New York, . 35 -
North Carolina, 10
South Carolina, 7
Tennessee, 12
Texas. 8
Virginia, H
West Virginia, 5
203
Later advices state that Oregon has gone
Democratic. Should this prove true, it will,
peradventnre, settle the question so far be
yond all cavil, that the devilish manipula
tions “returning boards” will be at an end.
Asa matter of course, for some days vet, the
sure and certain “winding up” of the matter
will be anxiously awaited by the admirers of
honesty and good government throughout the
Union. .•
Preparing for Death.
Italian Ministers Aiiticipetting the Pope's Death
—Forms to be Recognized—Measures and
Plans to View the Body.
Cologne, November 13.—The Gazette pub
lishes a report which lias been presented to
the King of Italy by his Ministers, regarding
measures to be taken by the Italian Govern
ment on the death of 11 is Holiness.
The Ministers propose immediately after
the Pope’s death to occupy the neighborhood
of the Vatican by military. The Prefect of
Rome will request certain profal officials to
ass'isf m viewing the body and other necessary
formalities. If this be refused the Prefect
will forcibly enter the Vatican accompanied
by Questor and also by physicians, notaries
and witnesses, who, after viewing the body,
will send a certificate of inquest to Cardinal
Deaeon. A seal will be attached to the fur
niture in the Pope's department, and remain,
so united after the removal of the body. After
seventy-four hours the body will be at the
disposal of the clergy.
The Popular Yote.
The electoral vote for President seems
close. It will lie exceedingly close if the
Republican Returning Boards are permitted
to throw out the votes of Louisiana and South
Carolina. But be this as it may, there can
be no doubt of the popular majority obtained
by Mr. Tildcn in live recent election. The
following figures may be relied upon as ap
proximate correctness :
Tildex.— Alabama, 30.000; Arkansas,
40,000 ; Connecticut, 5.000 ; Delaware, 2,500 ;
Georgia, 80.000 ; Kentucky. 75,000 ; Mary-'
land. 18,000: Mississippi, 20,000; Missouri.
50,0ilO; New jersey, 5,000 ; Tennessee, 30,-

Virginia, 17,000; New York, 33.000; Indi
ana, 8,000 ; North Carolina, 15.000; Louisi
ana. 10,000; Florida. 1,000. Total, 552,500.
Hayes. —California, 8.000; Colorado,
2,000; Illinois, 6,000; lowa, 40,000 ; Kan

5.000 ; Nevada, 2,000 ; Ohio, 4,000 ; Oregon,
1,000; Pennsylvania, 15,000; Rhode Island.
6,000; Wisconsin, 3.000; Maine, 7,000;
Vermont, 10,000; New Hampshire, 4,000.
Total. 188,000.
We have not included South Carolina in
the list because the majority there will be so
small, either one way' or the other, as not to
have any effect upon the general result. Ac
cording to these figures, Governor Tilden’s
popular majority is over 364,000. The
people have proclaimed for him unmistaka
bly and overwhelmingly. If he is cheated
the people of the United States will also be
cheated. — Chronicle <Sr Sentinel.
