We would hear less, perchance, of

There would he truer women, nobler men,

—In 1870 Mr. Tlfden' received the larg
est popular vote ever cast for one man in
the United States. The total vote was
8,454,628, divided as follows: Tilden, 4,-
315,401; Hayes, 4,049,096; Cooper (Grecn-
backer), 81,097; Smith (Prohibitionist),
9,034.
—The Rev. C. W. Parsons, of Gouvcr-
neur, New York, sent a notice to the local
paper that he would preach to the students
in the seminary on “The Force that
Wins,” but a printer made it read “The
Horse that Wins,” and the parson’s con
gregation was shocked.
Bond Sales.—The proposals to sell
loads to the government last Thursday,
aggregated $8,012,500, of which the secre
tary of the treasury accepted $2,000,000
at 104.85 to 104.S8 for sixes of ’80; 106.91
to 106.94 for sixes of ’80, and 103.18 to
103.30 for fives. No fours or fours and a
half were accepted..
A Liberal Subscription.—A liberal
citizen of Philadelphia recently subscribed
$500 annually for ten years for the sup
port of a fellowship in Washington and
Lee University, of Lexington, Virginia.
It is his purpose to give, in the meantime,
such a sum as will yield a permanent in
come of $500 annually for the fellowship.
—At Folkstone, England, lately, a
married couple who only three weeks af
ter marriage had separated, by mutual
consent, met on the beach, when the hus
band ran up to the wife, put his arms
around her, and kissed her. She gave
him in custody for assault, and he was
hound over in $1,000 to keep the peace,
—An onrang outang lately exhibited at
Munich amazed people by its skill on the
violin, until one evening a doubting visi
tor stuck a penknife into it, and as this
had no effect, pulled its tail, which came
off, bringing along a piece of hide. The
disguise had defied detection for a week.
The wearer was the father of the exhibi
tor of the prodigy.
—In 1876, at St. Louis, on the first bal
lot, Samuel J. Tilden received 417$ votes;
William Allen, of Ohio, 56; A. G. Thur
man, of Ohio, 2; Thomas A. Hendricks,
of Indiana, 1401; Thomas P. Bayard, of
-Delaware, 23; Joel L. Parker, of New
Jersey, 18; General Hancock, of Pennsyl
vania, 75; W. H. Broadhead, of Missouri,
16. On the second ballot Samnei J. Til
den received 535 votes out of 738, the
whole number, and the nomination was
made unanimous. Mr. Hendricks was
nominated for Vice-President on the first
ballot, receiving 730 out of the 730 votes,
Ohio casting 8 votes blank. Such is the
record of the St. Louis convention.
Tilden’s Health.—The .Chicago
Tribune says that General Atkins^ chair
man of the House committee on appro
priations, went over to New York the
other day for the special purpose of seeing
Mr. Tilden. Since his return he has
talked very plainly, and lie says that Mr.
Tilden’s candidacy is simply a farce. He
had a talk with the old gentleman, or at
least attempted to have a talk with him.
He said that Mr. Tilden’s voice was so
far gone that lie could not hear a syllable
three feet away from him; that he was
shaking with palsy, and that his mjnd
was so far gone as to necessitate a great
effort to preserve anything like continuity
of thought. He went over; seriously be
lieving that Mr. Tilden was a candidate,
and has come away much relieved to find
that the hand of age and disease has left
nothing to be feared on Mr. Tilden’s part.
The Storm in Indiana and South
ern Ohio.—The storm of last Monday
night was rery general throughout Indi
ana and Southern Ohio. At Cicero,
Indiana, many houses were blown down.
Samuel Miller, wife and four children
were all badly injured. J. M. Little’s
house was destroyed and all the members
of his family injured. David Gerber’s
house was blown over and Mrs. Gerber
fatally injured. The Methodist Church
and German Lutheran Church were com
pletely destroyed. At Glendale, Ohio, a
number of houses were unroofed and the
village almost wholly despoiled of shade
and fruit trees. At Ripley, Ohio, J. A.
Tweed’s tobacco warehouse was struck
by lightning and destroyed, with a loss
of $15,000. At Shelbyville, Indiana,
Abraham Clark was caught by the wind
and earned into the air. When he fell he
received fatal injuries. Great destruction
to farms is reported all through the coun
try immediately north of Cincinnati, but
no loss of life. A fall of fish is reported
near Newport, Kentucky.
Tm Peril of Riding on Rails in
the 'Aik.—The wind that struck Ifew
York on Sunday evening, in its effect up
on the cars of the elevated railroad, bore
some resemblance to that fiercer storm in
Scotland that caused a train of cars on
the Tay bridge to careen over, and the
longest span of the bridge to give way and
precipitate every soul on board to a sud
den death in the deep and turbulent Tay
river. The Herald gives the following
account of the imminent danger to which

one train °nfl*8 elevated railroad was keen purchased, aiid gave the name of the
subjected: “Said a conductor of the ele- ’ °
vated road, whose train wa3 caught by the
terrific gust of wind while turning the
sharp curves between One Hundred and
Tentli and One Hundred and Sixteenth
street stations, bn the west side, ‘The
cars canted over considerably, and the
wheels on the side exposed to the full
blast, momentarily left the metals. I
shouted to the people to hold on to the
seats, and really at the instant, what with
the semi-darkness, the eddying clouds of
dust, the howling of the wind as it rushed
through the interstices of the structure,
and the cries of alarm from the passen
gers, I was afraid a -catastrophe was im
minent. Everything stood staunch, how
ever, <hh1 I teU you the folks in the cars
drew a long breath ot relief as we clear
ed the second- curve and rap on to the
next station in safety.’ ” If such was (he-
momentary peril from a wind storm
striking the elevated road in New York
city, what may be expected to happen,
some time or other, to vehicles and pas
sengers, when exposed to the full force of
a terrific wind on the suspension bridge
now building across tbs East river to con
nect New York with Brooklyn?

Colored beads are worn in greater pro
fusion than ever, without limit as to tints

The silk aud satin dresses are marvelous

and draped scarfs and pufis. The trains
are generally of rich brocades and other
handsome figured materials.
The latest hat is the “Watteau,” with a
broad raised brim like the Gainsborough,
but with a flatter crown. Some have a
fall of lace all round. These are very dia-
Ungues, hut necessitate a special toilet.
Pointed bodices are often open quite to

to the usual height of square bodices, by
plisses of lace and a lace f raise, com

increasing in width, and carried up each
side and around the throat.

These dresses are accompanied by two
bodices, one high, the other low.
Some few overdresses have been made
with deep bodices with deep points

plaits, commencing at the front point, the
back breadths arranged in box plaits, and
the skirts then drawn away from the front

bus, Ga. Miss Prescott—now Mrs. Slap
pey—is a young lady well known to Ma
con society. She graduated a few years
since at the Wesleyan Female College,
carrying off the first honor. Since then
she has spent much of her time in this
city and Columbus, and by her winning
ways, and by her accomplishments, lias
made herself the favorite of every circle
in which she moved.
Mr. Slappey, or “Jack Slappey,” as he
is called altogether, has been known for
years as the happiest man in Georgia.

gia, and known too as clear-headed, en
ergetic business man. A commercial

BOBBERY. -
The Two Drummer*.
Henry and Andrew, two of the Mkcon
Volunteers’ drummers, came to grief the
night of the company’s departure and
failed to get off to Cumberland with the
excursionists. It seems that Andrew had
been furnished with tickets and told to
report at the depot at train time, but .con
cluding to celebrate the Volunteers’ de
parture, he got upon a “razee” in the af
ternoon, and soon found himself iribad
company,
Ho was in a room wheie a little game
was going on, and having hung-up his cqat,
in which were the two tickets and a check
for $60.00,- was astonished to find
that it had disappeared.! Charley
Robertson, a “sharp,” who had lately ar
rived in town, was gone also, and putting
the two circumstances together, Andrew
concluded that the coat had stolen" Char
ley, which was about as near to a correct
conclusion as his somewhat befuddled in
tellect will permit him to approach. The
main question was whether they had gone
off together or not, and Andrew went-for
the police to help him decide.
It is not known to many citizens that
every fast negro in the city is known to
the police, yet such is a fact, and the par
ticular game or mode of swindling he pos
sesses. - A description of Charley' Robert
son, as he is called, and his game, satis
fied them that Charley was a new-comer,
Every effort to find him proved unavail
ing until two o’clock yesterday morning,
when he was arrested by Officer Ricks at
Stinson’s Corner, a notorious resort for
negroes, at the comer of Fourth and Poplar
streets. Charley was put in the barracks,
and explained the possession of certain
goods he had with him by saying they had
storekeeper he got them from.
Investigation proved this to have been
an error on Charley's part; and several
other explanations were found to be like
wise. The tickets and cheek were not
found; the former being unstamped- and
the latter made payable to order, they are
worthless. The agent of the M. A B.road
kindly secured tickets for the men, and
they probably left last night.
The prisoner had in his possession a lot
of Georgia railroad tickets, upon which
the words “Patent Station Ticket” were
printed. All-tbe tickets.were numbered
391 and 32.

For the last two or three yean Macon
has been infested by a gang of incendi

of houses, and invariably occur at night.

Is hard to guess, unless they are impelled
by a love’of mischief and the fun of see
ing the fire companies turnout.
No damage has ever occurred to the
surrounding buildings in any case that we
can remember; but it has frequently been
necessary for the department to do its
best to prevent it. The fire m the rear
of Grace’s store a night or two since
would have been a serious one, hut for the
fact that the burning building had a tin
roof, and the flames were somewhat con
fined.
There was a fire last week, however,
chargeable direct to a young man in this
city. We refer to the burning of the sta
bles in the rear of the Isaacs House. This
boy’s name is known, and, only the respect
which the discoverer of the crime has for
the parents, would be given to the public.
It will be the wisest act of that boy’s life
if he pauses at this point in the course of
crime he has begun. There is but one
punishment for arson in a city, and that
is death. ___
Appleton Home School.
While the gay and brilliant commence
ments, heralded by the newspaper aud
looked forward to by many eager hearts,
were being held, on Friday
morning last, retired from the world’s
eye, unannounced by the press, and unob
served by admiring friends and relatives,
took place the closing exercises of
a modest but noble work. At
that time the session of the" Appleton
Home School came to an end, and was
celebrated by proper exercises. These
consisted of recitations and original com
positions. The recitations, many of them
long and difficult, were all well rendered.
It was extremely difficult to decide who
should carry off the prize offered for the
best.
The compositions, which were entirely
original, were also very excellent. Such
old and simple subjects a^“Tlie seasons,”
“The birds,” “Spring,” “The Sabbath,V
“The works of nature,” eta, were treated
in a simple but very pleasing manner,
some of them displaying considerable
originality aud observation. The gram
mar and rhetoric also showed considera
ble attainment in these departments.
Extremely pathetic it was to see the
little ones, themselves unable to write
compositions, walk up aud present bou
quets to the older scholors. Each oue re
ceived a small bouquet from some of the
little ones. There was more heart in
this than in many a fine basket of flowers
or handsome present.

The advantage of this compound over
the plain oil is, that the nauseating taste

an objection to its use; hut in this form
the trouble is entirely obviated. A host

General Jackson was once visiting a
Kentucky town where, among the gentle
men presented to him, was Major Lewis,
who desired to impress Jackson and his
admirers with his own independence.
Taking a dignified attitude, he said,
“Well, General, I have all my life been
voting against you.” Jackson courteously
bowed to him, and said,, good-humoredly.
“Well, Major Lewis, I -have all my life
been fighting the battles of my country in
order that you might enjoy that privilege.”

Dr. C. J. Moffett—Dear Sir—I
never forget tlie gratitude I oioe you for
saving the life of my little boy Itobert,
when at death's door, from Cholera In
fantum. After having tried traveling,differ
ent localities and climates,many physicians
and remedies, the disease only increased
in violence. As soon as we commenced
giving Teetliina (Teething Powders) the
disease began to abate, the child to rest
better than he had done for months, his ap
petite to return, and soon his rosy cheeks
gave joy to his mother's heart.

The Migratory Scot.
Old Osborne said, ages since: “The
Scot, like the poor Swiss, finds a more
commodious abiding under every climate
than at home.” A story appeared in a
well-known serial, some several years
since, describing the disappointment • of
an Englishman who went out to the East
as an interpreter, and whose ruling pas
sion was hatred of everything Scotch;
but strolling through the camp with a
Turkish officer, "and abusiug the Scotch
to jiis heart’s content, tc his astonishment
Hassan Bey, the Turk, broke out: “I’ll
tell you wliliat, ma mon, gin ye daur
lowseyere tongue upon my country like
that, I’ll gie ye a cloot on the lug that’ll
mak’ it tingle fra this till Hallowe’en 1”
The thunderstruck Englishman stammer
ed out, “Why, my good man, I thought
you were a Turk!” “And sae I am a
Turk the noo, ma braw chiel,” said the
angry Glasgow Mussulman; “but my
faither’s auld leather breeks ne’er travel
ed farther than just fra Glasgow to Green
ock and-back again; but when I gang
liame—as I’ll do or it’s lang, if it be
God’s will — I’ll be Wully Forbes,
son o’ auld Daddy Forbes, o’ the
Gorbal’s, for a’ that’s come and ganel”
Presently a splendidly-dressed Hungarian
came up and said to the Turk: “Wully,
mon, there’s a truce the noo fortwa hours;
just come wi’ me and we’ll hae a glass o’
whusky thegither.” If was the same with
a Russian officer, until the Englishman
exclaimed; “Bless my heart 1 is everybody
on earth a Scotchman ? Perhaps I’m one
myself without knowing it! ” But when
the Russian General Tarassoff exclaimed:
“Eli, Donald Cawmell, are ye here ?
and Ibrahim Pacha burst forth simulta
neously: “What, Sandy Robertson! can
this be you ? ’’ the Englishman burst forth:
“It’s all over f Turks, Russians, Hunga
rians, English—all Scotchmen. It’s more
than I can bear I .1 shall go home; there’s
nothing left for me to do here. I came
out here as an interpreter, but if all the
nations of Europe talk nothing but Scotch,
what use can I be V ” This seems very
droll, but not more droll than real.
We believe it is Sir Archibald Alison
who mentions how, when Marshal Keith
was combating tlie Turkish forces under
the Grand Vizier, the two generals came
to a conference' with each other; the
Grand Vizier came mounted on a camel,
in all the pomp of Eastern magnificence;
the Scotch Marshal Keith, who originally
came from tlie neighborhood of Turiff, iu
Aberdeenshire, approached on horseback.
After the conference the Turkish Grand
Vizier paid to Keith.tliat he would like to
speak a few words in private to him, in
-Ms tent, and begged that no one should
accompany him. Marshal Keith accord
ing went in, and the moment they con
ferred the Grand Vizier threw oil’his tur
ban, tore off his beard, and running to
Marshal Keith, said, “Oh, Johnnie, hoo’s
a’ wi’ ye man ? u aud lie then discovered
that the Grand Vizier of Turkey was a
school-fellow of his own who had d.sap-
peared about thirty years before from a
parish school nearMethlic.
And we remember to have met with au
anecdote of » Scotchman from Perth, who
had penetrated into some far interior of
Asia—we forget where; he had to see the
Pacha, or Bashaw. He was introduced
to the comely man in his tent. They
gathered up their knees, and sat down up
on their caipets. They drank tlieir strong
coffee, and smoked their hookahs together
iu solemn silence; few words, at any
rate, passed between them, but, we may
trust, sufficient for the occasion; hut
wheu the man of Perth.was about to
leave, the Pacha also arose, aud, following
him outside tlie tent, said, in stroug Doric
Scotch, “I kenned ye vera weel hi Perth;
ye are just sae and sae.” The Perth man
was astonished, as well he might be, until
the Pacha explained, as he said, “I’m just
a Perth mau mysel’l” He had travelsd,
and lie.bad become of importance to the
government there.. His story wa3 not
-very, creditable. In the expectation of the
post he filled he had become a Moham-
medau.—Leisure Hour.
Life’s Lessons.
“Nothing is so successful as success,”
some onq has said, aiui how pregnant
with truth the saying is. That intense
labor is the secret of success, is another
truism equally as well known, but not as
well lived up to by many. If we glance
over tlie great volume of time, we’U see
that every page bristles with the proof that
man rises by his own efforts alone. “La
bor is genius,” for we know full well that
our so-called geniuses, have been the
greatest workers. How-many bright ex
amples of this fact might be called from
the great field of the past.
How many Enthusiastic souls have
plodded along, bravely and untiringly,
although they were at times penniless and
friendless. As the oasis is a “tiling of
beauty”-to the eye of the weary traveler
in the desert, for ho knows it will grant
him a new lease of life, so the enthusiasm
of an earnest, persistent worker is the
buoy that keeps him afloat in the sea of
life. In reviewing the lives of some of the
heroes of the past, and their name is le
gion, wliat sublime self-denial and unllag-
ging industly are exhibited. Every obsta
cle thrown in their path, only adds to their
strength; every defeat only intensifies the
thirst for victory. It has been well said,
that a “poor workman blames his tools,”
as nothing is a drawback to the man who
lias an aim in life, and. is bound to attain
it. “Impossible,” said Mirabeau to his
secretary, “never again name that block
head of a word to me,” “Drive into that
road,” said Napoleon to his coachman, at
St. Helena. “Sire,” w as the reply, “that
road is never traveled; it is impassable.”
Napoleon soon had it cleared, aud drove
over it from end to end.
—Samuel Neil, once a prosperous and
"wealthy importer of New York, deliber
ately committed suicide in Newport Sun
day night. Before retiring he wrote seve
ral letters to various members of his fam
ily, in which he said he was tired of .life.
He wrote that he had gambled of late and
had lost heavily, and also that strong
drink had got the mastery of him. His
wife, a most estimable lady, was compelled
to leave him last week. He was in com-
foifable circumstances, aud at the time of
his death a son and a daughter lived with
him. Before taking strychnine, which
caused his death, he washed and shaved
and prepared himself for burial. His
death struggles were heard by his chil
dren and a physician was promptly sum
moned, hut before the latter arrived the
poison had done ite work.
Does Farming Fay t
Good farming always has, and always
will pay. The trouble is, there is too
much poor farming, which never pays—
except under extraordinary circumstances,
that do not continue long enough to
counterbalance the losses under normal
conditions.
No man ever got rich by poor farming.
One reason why there is so much poor
farming is, that there are so many engag
ed in it who look upon it as a poor busi
ness at best, and are ready to quit it at
any time. They take but little interest
in it, don’t try to improve; aud as a nat
ural consequence they have poor crops,
and “poor luck.”
Men can cheat one another, merchants
may sell their goods at big prices; lawyera
and professional men may collect laige
fees; but the farmer camnot cheat the soil.
He may rob it of ite strength and never
repay by careful cultivation and generous
manuring; bnt the day offreckoning will
soon come.
Farming, as a rale, does pay; in the ag
gregate it must pay." The world lives on
the fruits' of the farm. Suppose the whole
earth were allowed to lie fallow—un-
planted and untilled for one year; what
would be the result? Starvation would
overtake millions before another year’s
harvest.
It is true, however, that the farmer does
not, in the average, enjoy a fair share of
the profits of his labor. This is largely due
to the segregated condition of farmers,
which seriously interferes with that har
monious cc-operation which is so success
fully practiced by those who follow other
professions. Merchants combine, either in
formal associations, or by tacit under
standing, to further their own interests.
Lawyers, physicians and other professional
men understand each other, and he
who dares deviate from the established
fee-bill does so at the risk of pro
fessional ostracism. But with the excep
tion of a few spasmodic efforts at co-opera
tion, such as the organization of tha
Grange, fanners are content to move on
in the old way, every man for himself—
“toting his own skillet,” as expressed by
the “great commoner.” They are ever
ready to lend a helping hand to a neigh
bor; but, as a class, are oblivions to the
advantages which would flow from intel
ligent, active, wide extended co-opera
tion for the advancement of their common
interests and the security of their rights.
Another reason for this state of things
is the indisposition on the part of the great
mass of farmers to study the principles
which underlie successful farming, both
as applied to the culture of tlie soil- and
the general outside business of the farm
er. Farming is far from being an exact
or simple science; it should call to ite aid
nearly all the sciences. Ite successful
practice involves continuous study; its
rales are general—admitting many ex
ceptions and modifications. It is a
great mistake to suppose that ordi
nary ability finds ite most appropriate
sphere in the business of farming. We
grant that a man may successfully per
form the mere details of manual opera
tions on a farm without much intellectual
work. He may be skillful as a mere la
borer, and yet a very poor farmer. Oue
may be a good mason, or carpenter, or
joiner, and yet be utterly incapable of de
signing or completing an edifice.
We repeat, that the successful manage
ment of a farm which shall include a con
stant improvement of the soil, and at the
same time yield such returns as will ena
ble the farmer and his family to enjoy
the luxuries as well as the comforts ol
life, requires and will justify the exercise
of the highest order of ability.—Christian
Index.
A Volcanic Lake.—M. de Lesseps is
credited with describing on his return to
Europe a singular geological phenomenon
In the Republic of San Salvador there is
a lake called Ilopagno, and in January of
this year, after a few premonitory shocks
of earthquakes three craters suddenly
opened in the middle ’ of tlie lake and
belched forth immense volumes of steam,
dust aud fiery cinders. By and by the
three vents merged into one, and au islet
of “tuff’ and lava uprose above the sur
face of the waters. Attempts were made
to approach this young volcanic island,
but the feat was found impossible, owing
to the boiling of the waters and the
showers of dust and clouds of vapor en
veloping it. According to latest accounts,
the new volcano continues to vomit forth
great quantities cf steam and virulent
gases. All the fishes of the lake are par
boiled, and float upon the surface of the
water amid the bodies of innumerable
(lead shell fish and aquatic animals. It is
a significant fact that the outburst was
preceded by an exceptional rise in the
level of the lake,' owing to rains. This
appears to be the first instance on record
ofa volcano bursting up through the wa
ters of an - inland lake; but sub-marine
volcanoes breaking out iu the ocean bed
are no rare phenomena.
—The mother of several children 3ays
“I devoted myself to the charge of my
nursery; I attended in person to
the physical and mental needs of uy
young children. The work was laborious,
but has repaid me. They are healthy,
brave, honest and frank; they are cursed
with none of the small vices contracted
by intimate intercourse with persons of
inferior intelligence, and they are self-sus
taining at an early period. Neither pert
nor precocious, they ripen early to judg
ment and common sense, and I believe
that the careful tillage of my own little
field has produced a harvest worth the la
bor.”
Speaking of ballots, the largest num
ber ever taken in a national convention in
choosing a candidate for president was at
Charleston in 1660, when tlie'Democrate
had fifty-seven ballots without choice. In
the Whig national convention of 1852
there were fifty-three ballots. "Winfield
Scott was the nominee, and in the same
yftar it took forty-nine ballots to nomi

THE P0LAK COLONY.
Preparing a Vessel (or the It-
{sedition—The Plans sss Now Ar-
ranged.
The bill passed by Congress to provide lor
a permanent exploring colony in tlie arc
tic circle authorizes fifty men to be de
tailed from the army and the navy to ac
company the. expedition. The Gulnare
is now nearly ready to go off the marine
railway and come to Washington for ter
stores and munitions. She is a Clyde-built
iron-frame propeller, 200 tons harden, 3J0
feet long, and 21 feet 6 inches broad.
The engine is about 200-horse power.
The propeller belongs to tbe government,
and was assigned to tbe signal service for
polar work. “
Captain Chester, formerly of the Polaris
expedition, is superintending the construc
tion of the Gulnare. He has placed on
her sides, above the water line, wedge-
shaped timbers calculated to ease the
vessel up in a pinch of ice. Every availa
ble inch of room in the vessel will he
packed with supplies and men. It is the
intention of Capt. Howgate, who lias the
enterprise in charge, to send the Gulnare
to the north side of Lady Franklin Bay,
iu 81 degress north latitude, where a
station will be established. deposit of
coal is said to exist at this point. A
wooden building especially adapted in con
struction for an Arctic .colony will be ta
ken by the Gulnare. This building can
betaken- apart and put together with
great ease; ’ As soon as the Gulnare lands
her cargo she will return to a temperate
latitude for fresh supplies and new men.
