Itcd" The Republican party 1 must he
prospering. It has two organizations in
almost every Btato in the Union, and
they claw each other with all the folinity
of several pairs of Kilkenny cats.
Ckif Speaking of the Radical outlook,
the New York JTWiime says it is " goner
ally cheerful and highly encouraging.”
If the Tribune would bnt turn its glass
now and look in, it would not find things
so "cheerful” and "encouraging.”
Dap The Now York Tribune takes time
to say: "Mr. Greeley does not himself
favor the renomination of Gen. Grant,
and is prepared to give his reasons at the
proper time.” His reason can be given
in a very few words—Greeley wants the
nomination himself.
Deg~ Kossuth is looking around for a
good plaoe to die, os he don’t like his

a man fancies that his oountry is not

in it
tap The latest social sensation is the
Buffenbarger poisoning ease, at London,
Ohio. The points are abont os follows:
Buffenbarger, seventy-odd years old, and
worth a million, like many another man
has dons, turned fool and married a wo
man of twenty. Bridal trip to Cincin
nati. Met Colbnrn. Colburn thinks
she’s the old man's daughter. He makes
eyes at her. She tells the old man the
funny mistake. Old man laughs and
mokes the acquaintance of Colburn and
invites him to visit him. Good. Col
burn mako a visit—one, two, three, many
of them—just to keep up a pleasant ac
quaintance. Two children are bom. Old
man dies at the age of seventy-six.—
“Sleeps with his fathers." Wife mourns
a reasonable timo and then marries Col-
bum. Happy all. Some moro time pas
ses. Buffenbarger’s friends intimate
that the old man was helped off. They
accuse tho lady of feeding him on arsenic
gruel. She is arrested. Corpse exhumed.
Pott mortem. "Arsenic in liver and other
parts of body. Who put it there ? Late

BUTLER.
Kascnlity Seems to be Patent to
the Butler Family.
Tho New York Sun (Hop.) tolls tho fol
lowing: David Butler was the Govern
or of Nebraska. Ho was imi>eached
and removed from ofllco for embezzling
the State funds. Since then David has
shown talent worthy of the immortal
Benjamin of Essex. Two men named
Uero and Brumloo ore tho owners of u
newspaper iu Lincoln, Nehfasku. David
Butler wont among their friends and pro-
peaod tho presentation of a silver service
to tho nowspa]>er proprietors. About
seventy-live persons resiiondod. Oere
and Brumlce were invited to a banquet.
Boforo the feast David arose and in a
most affectionate speech presented to
them a dilapidated pitcher uf brittaunia
ware well burnished up, and a brace of
goblets to match. The newspaper men
seemed enjoyed. They laid tho testimo
nial carefully away and then went to sup
per. During tho supper David went
around with a subscription paper and
raised a little over a bundled dollars to
iwv for the present Everybody was de-
ighted, and so was David. It afterwards
turned out that tho pitcher and the gob
lets belonged to tho ex-Govemor him
self, and that the original oost was exact
ly 1120. Benjamin of Essex should now
try his hand at a spoon presentation.
The Old Folks at Home.
Iu a late number of tho Hillsboro,
North Carolina, Recorder, wo flud tho fol
lowing:
You’ll find tho “old folks at homo'
down about tho Flat rivor seotion of this
county. Biding along we observed old
Mr. W caver, soventy-fonr years old, at
work in a row of com—while in another
row, hoeing with all his might, was
old man Stephen Tilley—ninety-five
yeaasage. Ho plows and hoes, and, last
year, cultivated a crop by himself. Ho
lias five brothrts, all now living, and they
will average seventy-five years of ago; and
all working men,
average seventy-f
three of his ne'riibo-s,
tho Roberts, will average eighty. One
mile farther is old Mr. James l’arrish,
seventy-eight, who works his corn, and
John Duke, aged eighty, who works his
too. Old Mr. Latta, aged Boventy-six, is
an active old blacksmith, and who will
shoo a horse now os good us any other
man. Willis Bolling, eighty-two, reaped
his crop of wheat this year himself.—
Within a range of five miles around Man-
gum’s storo aro living nineteen old men
whoso ages will average seventy-flvoyoars
—ten of them will go oighty.
The same number of the same paper
contains the following obituary notion:
Mrs. Lydia Shanklin, probably the old
est person in this State, died at her resi-
denoo in this county on Friday last. She
was about 112 years old; was a grown wo
man during the revolutionary war.
This good old lady attended tbo organ
ization of Orange Presbytery at Hawtteld
church, September, 1770, and was very
anxious to attond its oontepial meeting in
1870, but tho gay girl pf 1770 fouu-1 her
self bowed down with age in 1870, and
she was unable to attend the meeting.
JHULess than a week ago Messrs. Phil
lips A Crew had one hundred copies of
Charles ltcudc's Terrible Tinpliittun; now
not a copy of it remainsnpon their coun
ter. It is fearful to think that so great a
number of anchannnclean Iwok has been
sold in tho city. It is sod to think that
there is so great a demand for such lit
erature. The book is immoral, even to
the very verge of lowdueas. It has not
one siuglo feature .to commend it, or even
to ameliorate its many faults. It is cal
culated to poison the minds and hearts
of the young. It is an apology for tbo
grossest of social crimes. It is corrupt
in preoept, corrupt in language, and
worthy a plaoe only among those earlier
works of Hteratum which, if kept at all,
are hidden away in the dork corners of'
libraries, where the eyes of the young
may not fall upon them. If the real
character of tho book hod been known,
tho probability is that its poison wonld
have been suffered to reman untouched
between the paper covers in which it is
sent out It would bo a good plan for
Mr. HuaJu to “mead lii* morula 1 befor®
he wriUu any more novels. It is to be
hoped that the demtnd for gross, sensual
and ribald literature has passed, and that
the publio is in want of mental food that
is not mixed with the deadliest potiou.

Torn to Pieces by Doga.
A little boy, seven years old, entered
tho tan-yard of his father, in Cincinnati,
on Tuesday evening after the departure
of the workmen, and was set upon by a
fierce and howling set o( dogs, thirteen
in number. Ho was quickly thrown down
and rolled in tho filth of the yard until
all semblance of humanity had left him.
Black, bleeding and dying, ho clung with
bis face downward to tho earth with the
energy of despair. The cries of tho dogs
attracted the attention of tho neighbors.
A bold man sprang over the fence to the
rescue, bnt was immediately driven out
by the now maddened brutes. Then oth
er persons entered with pitohforks, and
people driving ou the avenue stopped and
went to tho rescue with knives and pis
tols. It wna brief and bloody work.-—
The dogs were all slain. Tho little boy,
scarcely alive, was taken to a house near
by. Tho flesh, it was found, had been
torn from his scalp; there were great ugly
S ishca in his forehead, olieeks and lips.
hastly holes, their edges laoerated with
tooth-marks, were under his arms; and
other parts of his delicate body bore
wounds beyond description iu their own
ugly nature. There is scarcely a possi
bility of
ility of his recovery.
Ail Ugly Accident.
Tho Chicago Times publishes an ao-
eount of an accident at a funeral: "The
parlors where the cofflu was resting were
exceedingly full of people, so that the
unusual weight upon the floor caused it
to give way during tho address of Iho
minister, and precipitated the wholo
crowd, coffin, ministers and mourners,
into tho cellar. Tho room below was
used as a pantry or store-room and dairy,
and contained a number of pans of milk,
jars of butter, jams, preserves, etc., so
that almost overy ono was accommodated
to a liberal daubing of one or moro of
these articles. The Chicsgo lady who
informed the writer of the catastrophe,
was particularly fortunate, managing to
get one foot into a jar of butter, another
into a pan of milk, while a shell of honey
was deposited in her lep. To add to the
confusion, tho coffin was broken by the
fall and tho oorp9e landed iu a bariel of
soft soap.”

The Mocking Bird's Nong that
wat ilnshed Forever.
A very curious incident, illustrative of
the power which can be exorcised over
the animal creation by kindness and care
ful training, occurred but a few days ago
at Soottaville, Kentucky. Tho sister of
ofllcor Harry Mansfield of this city, hud
raised a mocking bird which she taught
to go and come at her call, and, which,
in return for all the kindness bestowed
upon it, exhibited a peculiar fondness for
her. Last Monday week Miss Mansfield
was tukon ill, and to while away the tedi
um of the sink room, she hail her little
pot brought to her bedside, aud day and
night It elioered her with its sweet carols,
bringing to luted runny happy thoughts
of fletd and meadow, sunshine aud song.
As her illness grew moro alarming, and
day after day brought no reliof from suf
fering, the wmrblings of tho littla song
ster rather served to annoy than to please
her, and so turning wearily ou her pillow
shosaid to him, "birdio hush, you worry
me.” Strange to say, the words seemed
to be understood, lot immediately the
song was basked, and the bird retired
within himself, as it were. On tho next
day tho lady died, leaving it would seem
a command of silonoe upon tho bird,
wkioh will never be broken, for although
several days elapsed ainoe, and every
effort has been made to induce him to
sing, he refuses to respond with song to
any lips but those of nis onoe loved mis
tress.—Nashville Banner.
The Times Have Changed.
Mr. Seward said at Constantinople, at
an entertainment given him by the Sal
tau, that be bad "completed nearly two
thirds of a voyage round the globe, and
ho had not as yet found a people who
were not friends of the United States;
and he hod to find in the rest of his jour
ney the people or government which is
hostilo, if there be one.” He forgetsthat
Uncle Sam had foreign enemies enough
when wo had a civil war.
Spurgeon Again.
Having boon offered ten thousand dol
lars in gold, by submarine cable, to write
a Life of Christ, Spurgeon, the greet En
glish preacher, has telograpbed back that

A Canton, Illinois, farmer says; “I
was going out past mv oorn erib the oth
er morning, whon I observed a large rat,
with head oreot, carrying a full sized ear
of oorn in his mouth. At the same time
his toil was wrapped around another, and
an extra large ear, whioh ho was dragging
behind him.”
Plucky Students.
A correspondent of tho Boston Journal.
writing from a popular watering plaoe,
has this to suy about some very genteel
waiters:
“ A fow days since I wus at u hotel
whore I noticed three nr four of tho male
attendants possessed unusually intelligent
faces, and appeared iu every way hi lie
far above their station. Their replies to
all qnestions came unmistakably from ed
ucated men. So it proved. They arc
students at a New England college, who
adopt this method of boiiig rather p'ass-
antly located during vacation, and at the
same timo they lay up something to de
fray their expenses at colloge next winter.
There is something heroic in ‘accepting
the situation' in this manner, as they are
prompted to do this work mainly by a
desire to enable them to compete with
tho more fortunate in securing a good ej-
uoatiou. They are very offleieut ill their
new position, and I wonld be willing
to make a small wager that young
men with suoh pluck will not be
easily thrown in their wrestle with
life. The world admires the stami
na of those noble youth who wear lead
in their shoes and eat beefsteaks
that they may get up sullicieut muscle to
wiu tho raoe ut the uext regatta; but how
trivial is their training when compared
with the training these collegians aro re
ceiving; who, in spite of auploasant du
ties, are bent upon going through oollege,
and willingly make any sacrifice to reach
the goal 7 There is something Demo
cratic iu this kind of servitude thst is
plessant to think about, tor in this Re-
S ublican country, thank God, a man’s
estiny is in bis own grasp, and only
thoso who ahirk life and its responsibili
ties fail to win their way. As I was think
ing of thoso boys thus battling with lifo,
I took up a paper and road of a dinner
-ven in Pans by Mr. Eliot 0. Oowdin to
[r. Darling, of tbe Fifth Avenue Hotel
—both Boston boys. Hero was a caso in
point, which illustrates my remark that a
man con control his destiny in this coun
try. Mr. Cowdin made his own way up
the hill of life from very liomblo begin
nings, and Mr. Darling was, like theso
students, employed as a waiter. The fre
quenters of tne old Bromfield House will
remember him, and will b* happy to see
that tho young merchant who was once
waited upon by a poor boy now honors
his arrival in Paris by a dinner, at whieh
tho Amerioan minister assists."

Puns and Punsters,
A writer in the Chicago Tribune says:
Thero aro a few persons who aro not
pleased by a good pun. It is true, yon
meet now and then a scowling moralist,
an intellectual owl, very wise in bis own
conceit—one of thoso beings whom Wads
worth lias so hoppily characterized as
who has a morbid abhorronoe of these
’agreeable levities,” as Lamb colls them,
these "twinkling corpuscula of conversa
tion. ” Everybody remembers the hack
neyed saying of Johnson, that a man who
wonld make a pun would pick a pocket.
Yet one cau imagine the prompt and in
dignant “You He, sir 1” with whioh tho
great, gruff, seven-tailed bashaw of con
versation would have greeted tho neces
sary logical inference—liod any ono clured
to Lint it—on a certain occasion, when
the doctor himself poiuted one of his
keenest saroruns with a pun. Visiting
8L Andrew’s oollege shortly after that in
stitution had made itself infamous by
selling its honors, tho doctor asked tho

of their wines, and some of their cellar*
were stored with tho oldest and best.—
One of them, the well known J. L ,
said that he had 870,000 worth of wine
in his cellar when his house w as burned
dnring tbo war. He thought himself,
and was thought to lie,, the beat judgi
of wine in tho State. At a dinner part;
where bewail guest, it wss secretly at
fn
ranged to bring him into disgrace in tbe
net!** of judgment, and the boat seat oat
to a corner grocery, and for a dollar
bought a bottle of wine, and had it pot
upon the table as a specimen rare and ex
traordinary. Mr. L pronounced it
the beat they bad hod, and said he: "I
ze the vintage—it ia 1784; there
to nothing better than thi* iu America."
Tbe shout of laughter that followed as

explained that be bad jaat procured it
around the oorner.
"Send (or tbe man," mid L , -end
Mmnell this is so."

laugh uaa now oa the other aide.
