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. 1 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 a’f.vtiya indi'-s'.i- a .T.ipauosu : Lo'e. or n bric-a-brac shop.— Amc io.-k Cur., CU tn in ti Lendir.

Dining the terrific thunderstorm • 1 t'■■’.me over the city I < week a lit tle eight-year old. boy living in the northern ; ivt of the town was a a ut cited, and called Ins mot her,_ who p was -it! ing in tho drawing room down stnirs. Shu sat with hint awhile and told him he need have no fear, becauvj God took care of little ln-yt., and would not tel the lightning hurt them. "But < iud ie away up iu heaven,” said tho child, "Ah s,” replied the mother, "hut ho j is li too. lie i- staying right iu the : > ■■■. with you, lie imu protect you, | but l cannot. As long ns God is here you need not he afraid.” The child was quieted, and the moth er lift hitn and r.tut to tho drawing room. I’rotty soon thero cams another deafening clap of thunder, when the boy crawling ont of bed, canto to the head of tho stairs and called again: "Wlmt do you want George?” asked his mother. "Yon cciran up hero and stay with God awhile and let mo go down stairs,” was the reply. 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.

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 troit Free Press.
