We have read the story of the muscular
Milesian who was the possessor of a coat
with tail appendages of prodigious length,
the latter of which he was wont to drag
saucily at his heels at fairs, and wakes,
and the lite, with the request that any
body' as wants a wee bit o' an illegant ba
tiDg manifest his desire by tramping on
the same. Weare also not unfamiliar with
the history of that other muscular indi
vidual who, when the ppirit of unrest took
possession of him, eased - his perturbed
feeliDgs by placing a chip on his shoulder
and going about in quest of some man
with courasre enouarh to knock it off! As
a parallel to these lively little episodes, we
now have the case of the Johnstown Dem
ocrat. This high-spirited journal seems to
have provided itself latterly with a coat of
Tin paralleled dinar nsums as regards the tails,
-and a chip likewise, .and for the past two
or three weeks it has kept a standing
challenge touching the tramping on the
one or the knocking off of the other.-
This challenge, which is directed to the
' world in general but to all soldiers in par
ticular, has not been accepted, and stands
not the ghost of a chance of being accep
ted. By this we do not wish to be under
stood as meaning that no persou in this
bailiwick possesses the nerve or dash re
quisite to tho undertaking. No. But
the fact is, it is generally understood that
tho Democrat courts martyrdom. The
paper has beeu a failure from the begin
ning, and a constant drain on the pens
and purses of its proprietors, hence it is
"spiling tor a fight" that it may get licked,
to the filing of a big bill in its own behalf
against the county fur damages, and tho
manufacture at the same time of a certain
amount of "political capital." And hence
it is that neither the world in general nor
the soldiers in particular will harm it.
The coat-tails and the chip of the Dem
ocrat not having been disturbed, like a
Tery Falstaff. it waxes sanguinary and
rauntful thereat. It tells us what would
have been the result had anybody presu
med to have laid hand on it in anger. It
would have visited "sure, quick and sweep
ing vengeance" on such an one torn him
up, root and branch, from the soil of his
nativity, and scattered Lirn broadcast to
the four winds wiped him out, annihila
ted him, utterly demolished him. All
ttia is very startling, to be sure. The
Daivjcrat furthermore says it is in dead
earnest in thus declaring. Which makes
the matter positively terrifying to weak
nerves. Fjr the welfare and prosperity
wd general beatitude of society, we feel
superlatively thankful that the Danocrat
'tfn coat-tails were not tramped on nor the
bemocratian chip knocked off. Blood
ied must have been the result. A war
ould have been inaugurated to which the
Southern Rebellion would bear about the
fme comparison that a fish hook does to
four-horse wagon. In such an event,
"a scaly gauntlet with joints of steel," in
stead of a kid", would be the prevailing
4rjle of glove ; bloody noses and cracked
rowns had, and passed current j our peo
ple demonized ; and our fair fields conver- .
ted into a va3t cemetery for we suppose
die Democrat-man would bury his dead in
the vicinity of his bellipotent exploits.
This is a portion of the evils which would
tare descended upon us had the coat-tails
"d the chip of-the Democrat been inter
fered with.' As the newspapers used to
about the military situation, truly tho
oning us was most imminent
M awful T
Blessings on that spirit of forbearance
hich so cnoonipasseth.the hearts clothe
Pple thatlthe coat-tails and the chip of
Democrat are things laughed at and
rmituled; and at the same" timo given a
berth to, instead of things seized
BP$ as the pretext for a Tooular outbreak.
if
y U does the Democrat any good to flaunt
coat-tails or carry its chip, why not in-
dlfee it in tha noinllgrWv ? W. tli.-V
Hfould be the essence of wisdom to not
Qly allow the largest latitude to these
kibitious of eccentricity,, but to request
mtinuance of the. same throughout the
lrtt of ita natural life as a newspaper.

Three young boys undertook to run a
train of coal-cars down" the steep grade
leading from the Cambria Iron Company's
coal-mines to the Mill, a few days since.
Not being able to control the brakes, the
cars ran with lightning-like rapidity about
half way down the grade, where they col
lided with another train standing on the
track. The result was, one of the boys
was fatally injured and died shortly after
wards, and another was hurt so badly that
he is pot expected to live. The third boy
