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 own country. As a general thing, when a man fancies that his oountry is not good onough for him to die in, it turns out that he was not good enough to live 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 widow awaits trial. 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. Tubal Cafa* BY DSO.

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.” , . Discovery of the Michigan Mag netic Spring*. It was in March, 1hG0, when they were iKiring- for salt, that ut the depth of 200 feet n stream of water nished up 25 feet above the surface. It was not salt, and tlie boros were disappointed, ft ran on for months unheeded—a clear, cold stream. One ilny a paralytic man living in the town held his bond in the stream, Heplrew it ont and ' ’ * " never dis covery upload. The county was scoured for Invalids. Well meu were a drug.

A Clergyman, who owned a ferm found his plowman sitting on his plow resting his horse. Quoth the Clergymen, “John wouldn't ii be • good jden lor J«uto have a good stub u^tbe here, end be eut- ting e few bushes along the fence while 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 os good a Life of Christ os could be writ ten wonld be found In the New Testa ment. . 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."

Tho residents of Livonia, feeling ag grieved at the overcharge of fare on the Buffalo, New York and Erio road since it has been in tho possession of the Erie Railway Company, havo commenoed seven suits to reoovor penalties, amount ing to $40,000, for violation of an “Aot to prevent extortion by railroad compa nies," passed in 1857.

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 irovost how the college was prospering. pros The « complained that it was poor. \~ ‘ • ‘ "Well,” said Johnson, "yon havo only to keep on as yon have begun and yon will get rich—by degrees I” Another authority whom the enomics of pun* are fond of quoting is onr own lexicographer, Noah Welister, who in his tondcrons dictionary, after vainly cn- Jeavoring to define a pun—a thing which defica definition os utterly as does a lov er’s glance, or that gyratory motion about the up of tbe noso which so significantly says, "Don’t yon wish you could come it 7” pronounces it a low sriocies of wit; at the samo time giving tho lie to his own libel by quoting for illustration ono of tho most exquisite pieces of pleasantry in tho language.

Certainly, if aa 8»ift saya, be ia a benefactor of his species who causes two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before, then ho is also a philanthro pist who causes two meanings to grow upon a word that had but one lief ore. I foar the antipathy of the pun-haters is sometimes iuexplicuhlu upon tho princi ple of sour grapes. A Connoisseur, Tho old Charleston good livers boasted of their wines, and some of their cellar* were stored with tho oldest and best.— One of them, the well known J.
