DARK IIORSE IN POLITICS; A Few Leaves from the History of Par¬ tis in America. Chicago Herald: The “dark horse’* in American politics made his first ap pearance in 1844, with the nomina tion of James K. Polk, Previous to that time the candidates of all parties had been men who were in the party councils. They were men of nation al reputation. Van Buren, defeated in 1840, re mained tho undoubted loader of tbe Democratic party, but his views on the annexation of Texas had estrang ed from him the Southern leaders. In 1844 the opponents of Van Buren de feated him in the Democratic conven tion through the^operation of the two thirds rule, and after a dead lock and a contest of several days, finally nomi nated Polk as an unknown man against whom tho least could be said. In 1852 the party leaders, Buchan an, Cass and Marcy, were pushed from their stools and Franklin Pierce received the prize. In 18G0 the young and vigons re publican party took a leaf oat of the democratic book by nominating tho comparatively unknown Lincoln over the acknowledged leaders, Seward, Chase and Cameron. In 1868 and 1872 Grant received the nomination as a reward for his illustrious services in the war, bnt in 1876 again there came a dead lock in the republican party. No acknow ledged leader could command a ma joritv, and the unknown Hayes wrb nominated. In 1880 it cannot be said that Gar field was unknown or was not a par ty leader, but he was not regarded as a Presidential candidate, nor nam ed as such prior to the convention, but the contest between tho leaders brought the nomination to the door. When Garfield was elected Cleve laDd was an unknown citizen of Buffalo, though four years later he Had a national reputation, just as in 1856 Abraham Lincoln was an ob¬ scure lawyer iu Springfield, who achieved national distinction in the succeeding four years. In 1884 the Democrats nominated Cleveland, ignoring their old time leaders,and swept the country. Thus from 1844 to 1884 eleven national elections have been held, and six of these have been won by candidates who very properly may be classed as dark horsee. the commonwealth.

Flat Shoals, Ga , June 20.—Tbe longest days in the year are now on us with the raying son coming down with its unmerciful heat, which is tho life of little cotton and death of corn. People right around the Shoals are beginning to suffer for rain, oats are being cat and are turning oat well, too. There is nothing out»of common order of life around the Shoals; everything is nnosnally quiet. The writer visited the farm of G. M. Bawls, near Concord, last Sun day, and to my surprise I found he bad plenty of cotton blooms and twenty acres in cotton that will average 14 to 16 inches high, with a good crop of forms on it, and biB crop is clear of weeds and grass- His corn looks well. T. J. Williamson, at Neal, has a good cotton crop and he has cot ton blossoms, and it made Thomas smile when the boy told him of cot ton blossoms. He would laugh a lit tie and whistle a little. Tom says, “Boys I have always been taking a mintjjulep on seeing the first cotton blossoms,“ so Tom proceeded to pre pare in bis own way. Tom knows how to prepare a mint julep.
