Among a num ber of thoughtful and clear-headed men who take this view of the future. I may mention Vice Piesident Wheel er, Senator Hoar, Senator Edmunds, General Garfield and General Cox. I might also quote the well known opinion of President Hayes, who is a close student of the philosophy of and the black—from the continued nomination of a political organization which boasts intentions so fatal to the welfare of all. Washington, D. C., October 21. Early Rising. Bob Ingersoll, the sinner, occasion ally takes a shot at old adages. In a speech, lately delivered before the Illinois fanners, lie thus attacks the adage, “ Early to bed and early to rise:” ....... ... .j “ It is not necessary in this age. of par:v act on,' and”who"think*'tbit i \ he ^ f ° r the ^er to rise in ' the middle of the night and begin If is work. This getting up sa early in the morning is,a relic of barbarism. It has made hundreds and thousands of young men curse the business. There is no need of getting up at three or four o’clock in the winter morning. The farmer who persists in doing it and who persists iu drag ging his wife and children fropi their beds, ought to be visited, l»y a fppw si.>:iary. It is time ehpiigh to rise after the sun has set the example. For what purpose do you get up? To feed the cattle? Why not feed them more the night before? It is a waste of life. In tho old times they used to get up about three o’clock in the morning, and go to work long before the sun had risen with * heal ing upon his wings;’ and, ns a just punishment, they all had the ague.” Blaine Tells a Little Story. whatever new phenomena may np- :x.ai- from time to time in the field of poli tics the permanent division of the American people will be into two organizations with substantially the same ideas and characteristics as are now seen in the Republican and Deni- ocv tic pnviies n' the North. The men of education, superior intelli gence aud of property interests, for which the protection of the laws are needed, will be or. one side and the uneducated, or unified ncated, includ ing a large part oftheforiign element and all the men who are discontented because they have nothing, will make up '.lie hulk of the opposing party % T1 u unnatural condition of atTuirs nor, the President thinks, is that these divisions do not extend to the ith, and the changes Qf the future rju e Vikely to be not in the direction S. the decay of i n! It pulwan organiz'- .tion, but in the extension of the ideas 'which underlie it, to the classes in the South of like interests and grade of Senator Biaiue said to-day that so r a • as ',!;v ;i’"e Alexander H. Stephens bi"ieiii"ence with the Republicans of j * Hi ? es is concerned, the the North j simile is pccnliar. “Mr. Stephens,” . . ,, . r said he, “says Mr. Hayes bolds bis ’ unliesitatmi. Relf arrogruion of > ’ “ all the cduc:.tion amt superior in telligence” is characteristic of a mem ber'of the party of “ great mo>a1 ideas,” whose control had led the people of the United States to a lower grade of morality and political character than it had ever before reached, until our affairs had drifted so mar an abyss ot destruction that nothing but a sudden and alarmed recoil from '.he methods and ways of Republican administration and a par tial adoption of Democratic doctrines j lias relieved the nation from hopeless i bankruptcy and utter vain. _ j if the close study “of the philoso phy of party action ” has, indeed, led President Haves to the “ well-known opinion ” ascribed to him in tnc IVibune, and it is true that he really looks forward “hopefully” to the extension throughout the Southern States of an organization of public opinion, as it is alleged exists in the Northern States, into two parties, with “ the men of education, superior intelligence and property interests for which the protection of laws are needed *’ on one side, and “ the un educated or half educated, including a large part of the foreign element and all the men who are discontented because they have nothing and for ■whom the protection of the laws is ■not needed ” on the other side—what, we ask, is to become of the “ poor colored man ” for whom the Presi dential heart and that of his party was said in other days to bleed so freely ? Is it intended to drive the citizen of African extraction into the ranks of those detestable Naz- offico by a better title than George Washington did, because Mr. Hayes was put there by the highest judicial tribunal ever formed in this country.’* “ That renruds me,” said Mr. Blaine, “ of an old fellow up in Maine who ran for office, and they charged on the stump that he had been indicted for villainy ofisome kind. The candi date answered in his own behalf that the other candidate made a great blunder in making the charge. He admitted the indictment, aud pointed to the fact that he had ihu verdict of twelve jurymen to the effect that he was an honest mail, while his oppo nent had never even been indicted, aud consequently could not have such a recommendation for the suf frages of the people.” How Sampson Slew the Philis tines.—When I traveled in Palestine ae old servant from the monastery of Ranileli, about fifty miles we3t from Jerusalem, showed me the supposed place where Sampson killed 1,000 Philistines with tho jaw bone of an ass. When I expressed my doubt as to the length and «trength of a jaw bone, considering the great number of surrounding enemies, the good man explained tho case in the following manner: “Well, he took hold of the a«s by the tail and swung the snirria! against the Philistines in such a man ner that only bis head, and of this especially the jaw-bone, struck the Philistines, keeping off in tl is way the surrounding warriors, and giving the blow the necessary force to kill. I the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments would seem to have been merely political boomerangs, returning to bruise the shine of the unhappy war riors who were armed with them. Is this really the view of the “clear bea ded’’ statesmen enumerated by the cor respondent, and were all their argu ments and efforts for the past ten years intended only to array “education, su perior intelligence and property inter- affirm that in this manner Sampson could have slain a million Philistines, arencs, the Democrats? If provided the; tail of the ass did not break.” President Hayes doesn’t find Washington life so expensive as some ot his predecessors have. He is re ported as saying that during.tl e imt six months of his term lie has spent only $4,000 of the $25,000 which ho has drawn, and that he thinks of rec ommending Congress to reduce the Executive’s yearly salary from $50,- 000 to the old figure of $*25,000. In Men’s Clothes. Ihe loan? Woman who Dressed, Smoked and Shaved “ Like A Ban.” [From the Bangor (Me.) Commercial.] In the early part of July Mr. Jesse Hinks, a farmer on Main.j$tjeet, hear the Brewer Brick Company works, in Brewer, Was called upou by a good- looking young man who desired to assist in haying. Mr. Ilinks engaged the person, and Charles Works, as he gave his name, commenced -to do all the work of a common laborer on the farm. Haying was in operation, and he took hold with readiness and was a thorough and efficient farm hand. After remaining with Mr. Hinks till the busy season was over, about a month, and being out of \vorl^,he went to Orrington, where be engaged board with Mr. Louis Bolton, about a mile below Orrington Corner. He re mained there some little fntae, and about the first week in September was taken sick. ! ,‘ Several physicians were called at different times during the sickness. Dr. Buber, of Hampton; Dr. Wood cock, of Brewer Village; Dr. Walton, of this city, and Dr. Thomas, of Brewer, all visited the patient. The disease was pronounced infiamation of the bowels, and in two r r three weeks the sick person was up and around all right. He told the Doctors who had been to the trouble of visiting him that he hud a brwthcf, a physician in Aroostook county, who owed him some -300. lie had,a friend in -Bangor, howpver, who would settle the bill The gentleman when seen told them something that let a strange light on the affair. The aforesaid Charles Works, although the semblance ot a man, was in reality a woman. This soon spread, and the person of whom a feminine pronoun must now be used, soon found herself the subject of a deal ot gossip. The surprise was very great, and many could not believe the report, but various suspicious things were taken into account, aud last week it became a settled fact that stw-twas a woman, agd site acknowledged IjMtfter some time. She had, howevej, succeeded in dis guising herself very perfectly, and none mistrusted she was other than a man. She wore men’s clothing and assumed most of the habits of young men. She smoked and chewed with the rest of them, and Matdcy Rankin, the wielder of the shears in Brewer, has shaved her several times. She has been around with the beys most of the time, and spent one week on the blueberry plains with them. Or all these occasions no accident occurred which would lead anyone to suppose that she was other than her dress in ti cated She is spoken of as a person of a free, open countenance, possessing by r.o means coarse or masculine features, and is of dark complexion, wearing her hair, which is curly, cut close. Nothing but down grew* on her face, but since being shaved, the skin has become rough and the growth of hair encouraged. She has been in com pany considerably during the season, and has seemed to be much inclined to flirt with the girls, thus inducing the jealousy of some young fellows. She has been especially attentive to ayoung lady of Orrington, and has called on her several evenings, doing the “ court ing ” in good shape. The reason given by her for her strange conduct is that her mother, who, according to the girl’s report, lives in Dixmont, told her as her father was dead they would have to look to her for support, and thinking she could get belter wages by assuming the garb of a man 3he did so. She is about twenty years of age, stout and strong, and as a farm laborer gave good satisfaction to her employer. Saturday night she left Oningtou without telling where she was going.

The Man Eater’s Meal. away from him, until finally it was entirely withdrawn. The crowd { San Fran cisco Chronicle] t. C. Tapp, the celebrated shouted to Tapp to jump for his life, Joseph has hardly a wrinkle. How ard gave him so very little trouble. American horse tamer, commenced a week ago to tame the Petaluma Man- eater, as described in last Sunday’s issue, and has every day since given public exhibitions of his process and- progress in a temporary amphitheatre in the rear of the Record stables on Market, opposite Seventh. Yesterday the Man-eater changed the programme and tried to tame Tapp in so effective a way that Tapp emerged sorelv woun ded, and only by a miracle with his life. 'The Man-eater, whose other name is Coniac, is a dark dapple gray Norman stallion, seven years old, weighing in fighting trim 1,800 pounds, foaled in Normandy, France ; imported two' years ago to Illinois, and subsequently bought by Joseph Wooden, the Norman horse-breeder, of Petaluma, and brought to this State and declared by horsemen to he the finest horse of the breed ever brought to America. Until brought to Illinois lie had been an exceptionally gentle animal, but, having indiscreetly, and probably playfully, bitten out a couple of pounds of an Illinois groom, he was so injudiciously and brutally beaten that, as Deacon Duncan would say, he experienced a change of heart, all his latent deviltry was developed, and he has ever since been the terror of all whom necessity has thrown into his company. With, tj.e exception of oc casionally eating a hostler he is an in valuable brute, and; Mr. Wooden con signed'him to Mr.' Tapp to haye r him curled of this sole little foible. Yester day at 2 o’clock the exhibition com menced in the presence of about 200 spectators, and progressed till half past three ,during which time the horse had been handled by the Professor, and even driven to a buggy, and appeared perfelly tractable and to have kind of lost his appetite for stablemen. After being unhitched, he was cross-hobbled by making a stout rope fast from the fetlock of his nigh foreleg to that of his off hind leg, an arrangement which permitted him to trot, but prevented his galloping, as also his kneeling down, and which is why Tapp still lives to again try conclusions with him. The horse stood ner.r the center of the inclosed circle, and the Profes sor about midway between him and the enclosed barricade, the horse per fectly subdued under the eye of the commander. Some person on a seat in the rear of Tapp asked him a ques tion, and for one instant Tapp removed his eye and half turned his head to answer. In that instant the crafty brute sprang upon him like a tiger. There was a yell of horror Irom the spectators as the horse caught the man up by the clothes at the small of his baek, shook him as a terrier does a rat, and flung him through the air against the inclosing planking. Be fore Tapp could regain his feet, the ferocious monster was again upon him, seizing him with his teeth by the left shoulder and endeavoring to kneel down upon him j which is bis last 8nd most approved manner of killing his keepers. This the cross-hobble pre vented him from doing, and the cool Professor, with his shoulder still in the cruel grip of tin monster’s jaws, strug gled to his feet, and with his right hand so held the bit as to prevent as far as possible, the successful working cf the horse’s jaws. The crowd was intensely excited. Mr. Wooden seized a long pole and poked it between the halier and the horse’s lower jaw, and still further re tarded the biting. The friends of Tapp called for a gun, but there was no gun, and what is remarkable in a collection of two hundred Californians, no one had a revolver, or the mur derous brute would have been shot dead instantly. The horse and Tapp continued fighting half way around the ring. Wooden, on the seats out side, still hampering the former’s efforts with the pole. The spectators on’the front‘seats also did all they could to distract the man eater’s at tention; ouo lady seizing the ciutch of a man sitting next her, and beating the horse over the head with it. By the aid of these distractions, Tapp was enabled by degress to dra w his arm through the horse’s jaws, the horse chewing it impartially as it slipped but the plucky trainer called for his whip, and with his mangled left arm dangling by his side so tickled the fetlocks of Cogniac that that enter prising animal was again in what Tapp fondly calls subjection. Last evening the trainer was in the stable office with a friend pouring an odorous liniment over his bandaged arm, and the Man- eater with all his evil passions enflamed with the taste of blood, was romping around his prison and .eagerly reach ing up for a mouthfp] of any timid spectator that ventured near enough to look down at him. The people will continue to look forward with interest to the solution of the problem of whether Tapp wilt tame the Man- eater or the Man-eater tame Tapp. Senator Gordon. [Washington Nations! Union.j In an “interview” given in one of the New York papers, Robert Toombs (who didn’t call the roll ot his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill monument) is reported as saying that General Gordon wonld not be re turned to the Senate, on account of his “ eccentric” career.” What there may have been in the conduct of ihe Georgia Senator that should seem so eccentric to Mr. Toombs wc cannot divine. When so eccentric? Be. fore or since his election to the Sen ate ? He was indeejin the Confed- crate army, which we adnntyriut. all wrong—worse than eeceitlric—crimi nal even, it Mr. Tnnmba wishes its to so consider it. But he was a gallant officer, never violating, as )vo have heard, the strictest proprieties of civ ilized warfare. That;,Gen. Gordon was brave, his wounds attest—and he wears them all on his front. Sin.'f his election tc the Senate General Gordon has been an active and thorough paced Democrat, when he should, in our opinion, have been as active on the Republican side. His frank and generaus nature would have tbuml Republican allegiance a congenial' service. *But he lias been an honorable opponent. Fair, just and liberal, leaving the confederacy and its issues behind,'and accepting the situation evidently in good faith, he has acted the part of a courteous and high-minded American Senator. Mr. Robert Toombs calls this eccen tricity, and says Mr. Gordon will not be returned. Perhaps not. But the country will commend the Senaioi’s “ eccentricity,” and regret that one from whom so much was hoped in the work of re uniting the hearts of our people should be remanded to private life. But it may bo that Toombs is no prophet. Ahead of All COMPETITION Ct. 0. E0BINS0N.
