It appears that paper Sat money ban tain the salvation ol General Chinese Gordon, and he could not have issued the stnS bail he not found a printing office at Khar toum. It is to be hoped that he will never hereafter underestimate the power of the press. Sixty-odd prominent Independ ent and Kepublioan newspapers in the Northern States which sup ported Garlield are now strongly opposed to Blaine and in favor of Cleveland. Not only straws, but very largo trees sometimes' show which way the wind blows. OiTJaWA PATH. Illsise Hanged In Effigy.

Something ol' the kind was needed in Dnneannon, from which place the republican majority in Perry county always ; comes, for the party there is in a slate of revolt and the local lead ers have become alarmed for the safety of their county ticket.

Mr. Young'unsuspectingly bunded him tlie bar. The stranger examined Mrs. Marietta L. Stow, of Cali-; eareluiiy and engaged Mr. i oung in conversation about the precious metal. Suddenly lie made i a rush lor the door, carrying the bar of gold withlun. Mr. Young though more than lilty years old,! sprang over I lie counter and gave' chase to the Ibicl.

Judge Crisp was introduced by by Mr. Hodge, and proceeded to disouss the differences between the Democratic and Republican parties to the entire satisfaction of bis audience. He also spoke of certain matters that had been before the last session of Congress, and ex pressed his position on several questions, lie said that the United States treasury now contained four hundred millions of dollars that had been taken from the people by high taxation; that the policy of the Republican party is to keep the people poor by heavy taxation. The Republican party now boasts of a full treasury, while it is a sad fact that thonsamla of poor people- are out of employment, and nu prospects for an improvement in the situation.
