W • Were Thero, Too.
"Ono Who Wits Tbero,” airs his
"phelinkß" in an article of more tbau a
a coluiuu in length, in the Americas,
Recorder, in ralution to tho mooting «>f
|
the democracy of this county hold in the
courthouse here ou the brat Monday in i
this month.
Uutil wo had road tlic articlo in ques
tion, wo had not doomed it within tho
palo ot human ingenuity, to stiing to
gether so groat a mass of words without
giving expression to a single idea. Nor
Imvo wo oven yot, been able to divine i
why it is that man is so constitute 1 that :
when he flmls himself sqarely and fairly
bon ten at his own game, ho cannot nd
mit Uio fact, even to himself, and quietly
sutimit to tho inevitable.
It is due to candor, however, that we
should do tho writer the justice to admit,
that thero is ono grand central falsehood
running all through tho article in qus
ti.ru, from top to bottom like astnekpoh*. !
viz: that if it had boon left to a ballot.
Crisp would have received more votes
than McArthur.
If there was a majority of that inert
ing in favor of Crisp, and if it was tot
patent to even the most casual observer
that such was not the case, why was it
that some "Ono Who Was There’’ did
not, ins'e.ul of taking refuge behind the j
ample brim of a big straw hat, in the
hack end of the court 'room under the
stair steps, come boldly inside the bar
and offer tho Crisp re-olutious that lie
had in his pocket, and in the prepara
tion of which he had spent so mum
sleepless nights, and which he read with
so much exultant gusto In hind the bus.
lues houses of the town, that same
morning before tho meeting assembled,
to the two or three Crisp men who didn’t
deem that life was too short to listen?
Wss ho too cowardly? Were his lip -
sealed by a rocollootiou of McArthur's
generosity to him individually, in ex
tending to him pecuniary aid in some en
terprise that might have proven the ouc
success of his life, but for his owu drunk
enness nud innate triflinguess? We do
tnist that such was not the case. In
deed wo know of no such case, and we
trust tuere is none si:eb. Nor can we
yield our hearty assent to the idea that
auy "One Who Was There," with a full
knowledge that Crisp’s friends were in
the majority, and with a pocket tilled
with Crisp resolutions which ho had
carefully prepared for the occasion, and
which he knew- the majority were thirst
ing for, would have sat supinely by and
have seen n few McArthur tricksters
actually make tho majority ad ;>t meas
ures to which they were opposed. It is
so iusult to the intelligence of the de
mocracy of Montgonu’i v comity to -iy
-to. Besides, wo wero there, too, and
|wc know it was not that way. We kuon
that thero were twenty M< Arthur men,
at least, in that <■ -nvetition, to one who
was opposed to him.

A Serious (Iha rm,
: -
, "One Who Was There,” a correepon
r j dent of the Anv-ricui llerorder, writing
t | from this county, niukea tho charge that
i ut one time, away back through the dark
: l and mi*.ty annuls of the past, Walter T
j McArthur drove on ox team—actually j
- drove oxen with his own hand! This is
i a serious charge, and one that if proven,
uniat nocesH iirly put an end to .Mr. Me
-1 Arthur’s congressional aspirations, aud
1 1 nil other spiratious that he may happen
to entertain. Every voter knows that
the hand that ev. r touched an ox-whip
;is not fit to guide tho helm of tho ship
of state; that tho voice that ever shouted
: "whoa’ to a steer should never bo heard
lin Uio councils of the nation. A man
who, through any press ol proverty or
11 necessity, can be brought to engage in
such a vulgar pursuit, can never come
to anything. Joe Brown peddled whor
tleberries at ten cents a quart in the
street of Duhlonga, and plowed n little
i bob-tailed hull within the classical en
virons of Gaddistown. But wlmt did he
I ever amount to? Abo Lincoln split, rails
for a living when he wits a young man,
hut ho never rose higher limit to the
Presidency. True, he was the most ill
ustrious President since Washington,
but to wliut grand enineiico might ho
I not have a’tained, had ho not sp it those
rails!
Wo are surprised that Mr. McArthur
; should have the temerity to offer liitn
i self as a candidate for an office within
the gift of the people, if lie knew this
thing could he proven. Wo call upon
him to clear himself, of this serious
charge. Let him produce the proof
that he never drove a steer, or ever saw
a man who did. Let him show that lie
J never had any necessity to engage in
such vulgar pursuits, and that lie did not j
i spring from tho vulgar precincts of the |
| common people, or let him retire from
the race, an I leave the field to those who
jin their infancy wero swaddled in the
"Crisp” folds of a lawyer’s brie and cov
ered with the judicial erruine.
. Tho Stuckey Poatofriuo Again.
Ktnckey Montgomery Co. On.,
i June 21st 1880.
Editor Montgomery Monitor.
Mt. Vernon On.
i Dear Sir: In response to an article
jin tho Montgomery Monitor of .Tune.
J 10th will say wcJinve a mail bug brought !
II hero by mail carrier and left nh’il bis j
return from Mount Vernon. The ob
ject of leaving tho nail bag hero is !«•
Iseihtate the tiino of mail carrier.
Previous to the reception of (lie above !
I mentioned mail bag, the post master at j
j this place had to linudlo nil the through I
: mail to pet tlioStuckey mail, which tool; i
up too much time of mail carrier.
Tho pest master at Stuckey will en- j
denvor to detain mail earlier long ( I
i enough to look trough the mail bag
marked "Stuckey,” and forward it on |
to Mount Vernon for reception of <
! Stuckey unit.
Tho post master at Stuckey desires ,
to say, in conclusion, that he respects 1
the interest of tho patrons of this office, ]
and advocates tho enterprise of Mont
gomery county. Will the editor pub- 1
lislt this item, that if tho Stuckey mail
! hag is not carried through to A fount .
Vernon, it is the negligence of mail ear i
I rier, and not of post master at Stuckey;
mid that Stuckey mail is likely to he
placed in through mail bag at Mount
Vernon, instead of Stuckey mail bag,
and go on tn Mellae, The post mast, i
at Stuckey does not open the mail bn - ,
i marked ".Mellae to Mount Vernon.” j
j The editor will publish the foregoing j i,
that iiis subscribers to the Monitor, and ! j
the patrons of the office of Stuckey
1 may understand the wishes of the post- (
’ master at Stuckey Are. v
Very truly yours.
Hr.xuv T. Stickky P. M.
We cheerfully publish tho foregoing a
letter from tho p tmaster at Stuckey v
tin. in reply to our strictures upon the h
management of postal nfinira ut that t
office, in our issue of Juno lOih. Siuce a
the publieationof the article referred to, ; k
and prior to the reception of this letter, v
we had come to the knowledge of some 1
j facts that led ns to the belief that the d
mail earner was more blatnenble tor the 1<
j abuse complained of than the postmaster
jat Stuckey, and we gladly publish liis ’b
j letter, in which it w ill bo seen that he j o
throws the blame upon the mail carrier, j <>
It matters not upon whom the blame
| fulls, the carrying es mail matter for
-office right by and through the
office to Mol’.io, to be returned from ’ 1
thence the u< xt or the following day, is d
an outrage upon the patrons of the office, u
and one which the government will not b
tolerate if known. And unless it is dts
continued at oueo, we shall forward to ll
the department at Was' ingteu copies v.
of the Monitor with our former ..Hide t<
and this, marked, that ti.ey may see s.
what the evil is and apply the remedy.
The contract of the carrier is too tc
meager to justify the payment of ferry- y
age actess the river. To reduce the 1 el
expense, the carrier leaves his eonvey
ence ou the other side and brings the
mail on Lis shoulder from tho river to
this place. The two bags being more
than he can well carry, ho leaves the
H‘oc! r y bag on the other side. The
post mistress at thin ptaeo is therefore
compelled to ploco tho Stuckey mail in
the through hag, und it therefore goes
on to Mcltae. The goyernment is in
no degree responsible for the low price
paid to the currier. It is a great and
magnanimous government, anil does
not want its ugects to contract with it
for mail service at starvation prices. If
contractors foolishly do so, they must
take the consequences themselves.
They cannot bo allowed to make the
people suffer tho consequences of their
foolish contracts. "Hafety, certainly
and celerity,” is tho governmental mot
toe in snch matters. The people must
lx: served, and the government is both
Able and willing to pay for it.
Th' ir Search for the Beautiful.
Two Brooklyn girls in New York
on a shopping expedition were tho vic
tims of a laughable cqntretempts tho
other day. Near tho corner of Thir
teenth street and Broadway is a little
simp conspicnonsly elegant from the
outside, undecorated by any sign, and
without a proprietor’s name on its plate
glass front. The windows tire adorned
by suits of old armor, by busts, statues,
antiques and silk-plush curtains; through
the door one catches an inviting glimpse
of embroidered screens and plate-glass
mirrors. In tho innocence of their heart
they walked in to price some article
which caught their fancy, and before
they were well aware what manner of a
place their search for the beautiful had
led them into, they found themselves
before a oarved mahogany bar behind
which the whito-nprom d attendants
weredrinklv mixing tbo morning cocktail
for some overdressed young dudes. The
girls retreated precipitately, and quick
ly regained the street, vowing they would
never enter :■ ither unknown shop in
New York city. They had learned ut
the cost of experience and many painful
blushes, that a gilded exterior does; ii"t

"Ah s,” replied the mother, "hut ho j

A Horso In Eis Room.
Exeter, N. 11., June, 20. —When
Professor Tults, of Phillips Exeter ao
tdeiuy, came into the recitation loom
iis face was ns dark ns a thunder stoirn.
Pifty or more young gentlemen snt fae
tig him, and fr.ua the appournueS of tiie
.irofessor it was evideut that u storm
,\as brewing. Immediately alter prayer
t burst.
“Gentlemen," said the professor, “I
tin pained to ay that some, pci nous,
,vho consider themselves gentlemen,
ntvo been guilty of a contemptible) ac
ion. Ido not make nuy specific charge
igainst any particular young gentleman,
jut I have every reason to believe that
vithin tvveuty-four hours I shall bejn
yosession of facts that will lead to the
ktaction of the person or persons who
oeked that her. e up iu my room.”
Tho fifty students listened with bated
nvatb, and when the professor had cou
>laded every face was the personification
if childlike innocence. Etch man per
onnlly condoled with the professor and
aid the affair was dastardly.
To your correspondent the professor ■
old the following story: "Home time
hiring the night some of the young'
non wont to my stable and taking my
v. t horse, took the animal in to the aca-lc
ny, ont in the dormitory add up two
lights es stair- into my slipping room,
.'here 1 found it. Hew they managed

It took three laborers over a half hour
o get the animal down, while all the
onths in the village stood around and
I:cored themselves hearse.
“Small” Talk.
Sam Small says: “If I wanted to get
a good square judgment ou something
f I d done. T'd rather go to a newspaper
office for it tliau to any of our court a of
justice. 1 know the justiea of jour
nalists, their integrity, and tho purity
iof their motives. I know why they
: probe into men’s characters. No man
whose character ia pure need fear all the
j presses in America. The best way to be
safe from so-called newspaper attacks is
to boa Christian. Tho reporters tire
the best detective force in this country.
They have brought more rascals to jus
tice, they have punctured more shams
than all other agencies combined.”
And Mind the Little Things.
Springs are little thing, but they are
sources of large streams; a heltu is a
little thing, but if governs the course of
a ship; a bridle is a little thing, but we
know its use and power; nails and pegs
are little things, lint they hold parts
of a large building together; a word, a
look, a smile, a frown, are little things,
| but powerful for good or evil, Think
i of this, and mind the little things.—North
Carolina Mirrot.
The Peculiarities of the Flounder.
The flounder, or the fltf-fi.-dt, when
first hatched, has eyes placed like those
of other fish. Soon ono eye begins to
move down nearer the mouth and over
to the other side of the head, until finally
both evt.-s uro on tho same side, n.iually
the right. The flounder lies on its side,
partly to escape its enemies, which it
docs by burying itself in the sand, and
partly because it Ims no air-bladder and
it tins are imperfectly developed.—De
