Cincinnati, June 2d.—After the Ohio
committee had waited on the,New York
delegation and urged it to stick to Payne,
some debate followed; when "NY: 'H. C.
Whitney, son-in-law ot Judge Payne, with
drew Payne’s name. Pending the choice
of another man, an adjournment was ta
ken until this moming; /!
At 10 o’c’oek, the sky is overcast, tem
perature hot and sultry. The doorkeep
ers are taking up all the platform and re
porters’ tickef-, and this indicates the con
viction of the national committee that the
convention will nominate the candidate
and finish the business during to-day’s
session. Few delegates are yet seated,-
and tlifey are coming in very slowly. The
galleries are only partly filled.
President Stevenson arrived at 10:25 a.
m., but the delegates’ seats are only half
filled. The organ and military band enter
tain the audience with many admirably
rendered musical selections.
The chair called the convention to or
der at 10:35 a. m. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Dr. Taylor, of the Methodist Episco
pal Clinrch South.
Peckhara, of New York, rose to make a
statement in behalf of the Nfew York del
egation that the delegation heard with
great— [Cries of “platform!” and he took
the desk.] The delegation heard with
great emotion the votes given yesterday
for the statesman of New York, S. J.
Tilden. [Greet applause.] The chair
rebuked Interference with the proceed
ings by outsiders, and would ask the con
vention to preserve order at’ any and ail
hazards.
Peckliam resumed: The delegation had
received a letter from Tilden in which he
renounced himself as a candidate for the
nomination. Knowing him to he honest
in Ins purposes and actions, we accept his
letter as a renunciation of all claim and
all candidacy.
He now presented the letter for such
action as the convention desired, but the
delegation have this morning agreed upon
another candidate, and he named Speaker
Randall. [Applause.]
The chair asked if the convention
would have.Tihfon’s letter read. [Cries
of yes and no.] But a Wcti tocevote de
cided no.
Thomas, of Kentucky, offered a resolu
tion denouncing as unconstitutional and
unrepublican any law to afi’ect a citizen
on account of religious or non-religious
opinions. Referred.
TUB SECOND BALLOT.
While the second vote was being taken,
Hull stated, in obedience to instructions,
that the Ohio delegation 'cast 42 for
Thurman. Another Ohio delegate denied
his right to announce the vote, and said
the delegation are now counseling as to
how Ohio’s vote would be cast. [Cheers.]
Ohio, when again called, gave 44 for
Thurman.
Before the official vote was announced
Wisconsin asked permission to change its
vote. [Cries of “agreed,” and some
“uoes.”]
Somebody raised the question of order
that the vote could not be changed. The
convention agreed to it, and Wisconsin
cast for Hancock 20 votes. [Great cheers.]
There was now a scene of great confu
sion. New'Jersey changed to Hancock
18, which caused Immense cheering, long
continued, and great confusion, which the
chair vainly tried for several minutes to
suppress. The chairman of the Pennsyl
vania delegation rose finally and said that
Pennsylvania, proud of her sons—both of
them: one a great soldier and the other
an able and eminent statesman—would
gladly vote for either; and then changed
her whole vote [o, Hancock. [Immense
cheers and excitemeht.^
A great portion of the audience and the
convention rose, cheering, waving ban
ners, fans, and tossing fiats. Hancock’s
banner was brought to the front of the
platform, auiid great enthusiasm, the band
playing “Hail to the Chief.” The small
banners of the States voting for Hancock

a new call of the States.
The sergeant-at-arms announced that
the chair had ordered no applause
until the call should be finished. Ala
bama voted solid for Hancock. [Hisses.]
Arkansas, California and Colorado also
voted for Hancock. The announcement
of changes to Hancock f:om the Tilden

leries. Each State followed suit wfih a
solid vote for Hancock until Indiana was
called, which State voted $r Hendricks

Tilden. „ .
All the remainder solid for Hancock.
The audience and convention rose and
cheered, and the band played “Hail Co
lumbia.”
Mack, of Indiana, moved to make Han
cock’s nomination unanimous. He ex
pressed the deep feeling of his State for
Hendricks, but-they were loyal to the
Democratic party, and will do their duty
manfully.
Speaker Randall was then presented on
the platform. He said he was here to
second the nomination of Hancock.
[Cheers.] He congratulated the country
on the harmony which bad marked the
proceedings. The nomination made was
strong and would bring victory. It would
bring Pennsylvania back to the. Demo
cratic roll. It was one that would be sat
isfactory to tbo party and the American
people. [Cheers.] lie pledged his earn
est and constant efforts until. victory-

Wallace, of Pennsylvania, followed.
The Democrats, fouryears ago named, the
man who was elected President, and to
day they had named the next. He urged
a vigorous campaign—no campaign Of de
fense, but one of constant aggression. He,
too, pledged Pennsylvania to place herself
in November next in‘the Democratic col
umn. In response to loud
calls Hampton advanced to the platform
aud said, in behalf of the solid South,
which was once arrayed against this gal
lant soldier, he pledged to film its solid
vote. There was not a. name field ip
higher respect in the South, tbau that of
the man who had now beoi) made the
standard bearer of the Democratic party.
Hancock was one of: the first, after the
war was over, to exert his influence for
the restoration of the Southern people to
their citizenship. He pledged.South Caro
lina to give as large a majority as any
Democratic State in, the union.-
Judge Hoadley, for. Ohio, prescuted tfie
motion to make Hancock’s nomination
unanimous. VictoryiOiOhio,In October
means a tremendous vote, in, November,
and the Ohio Democrats expect to wfii
that October victory. The convention liad|
commanded Ohio to take the enemy!?
guns, and they would try. [Applause.]
The action of to-day was worthy of that
other day on which tfie Declaration pf In
dependence was signed by John Haucock.
[Applause.] . * A.11!?.?
The chair put thftajuestion on the pend
ing motion aud announced that Winfield
S. Hancock was the unanimous choice of

gan joined, with tine effect. Then catne
“Mr country’tis of Thee,”to the tune of

er who had been given them. He referred
to the-.Confederate brigadiers, of-whom
so much had been heard. He knew
them,, and Hancock knew them, and
they knew that they could rely
upon them to assist in upholding the con
stitution and the rights of the people
under them. . He ., eulogized. Hancock’s
course in uplifting down-trodden civil law-
ami liberty at the end of the war—making
the secoud declaration of independence—
(lie second declaration of the constitution.
He was worthy of tlieir confidence in war
find in peace, and with, him they could
safely trust the interests of the country.
, In response to calls, BreckciWdge, of
Kentucky, came forward. He said they
had to-day turned tlieir swords into prun T
ibg hooks with which they would reap a
harvest of victory next November. They
had shown they were again a united peo
ple and knew no North, no South, no
East, no Wes*. [Cheers!] They had put in
nomination here to-day a pan who had
given his blood for the Union. It
was a national candidate whose name
they put out to-day in the name of the
Democratic party. Kentucky always voted
the Democratic ticket, but' fie asked,
“What say the doubtful States?” He
asked New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois and In
diana if they could carry the ticket in
triumph, and each responded affirmatively
amid great applause. In conclusion he
Invoked the God of battles to give the
Democratic party triumph aud victory.
[Great applause.] ,
At this point, the Tammany men, led
by Kelly and Schell, entered the hall
amid great cheering, and were greeted
with music by the organ* Confusion and
excitement continued, several minutes.
Before it could be quieted Kelly proceed
ed to the platform, aud was greeted with
a lively Irish air by the band, and there
were great calls for him.
The .chair said it gave him great pleas
ure to announce to the convention that in
Us action to-day it had united the great
Democracy of New York. All the con-,
testants from that State had come here to
give in tlieir allegiance. He introduced
Kelly, who was received with great ap
plause and some hisses.
Kelly said it was true that Hancock’s
nomination had united the Democracy or
New York, though they had been fighting
bitterly for five years. Let past differences
be now banished forever. [Cheers.] Never
again would he refer to what had trans
pired in the past, either here or in the State
of New York. He disowned ever having
been actuated by personal feelings. New
York could not be carried except by
unity in the Democratic party; and now
that this Lad been secured, he felt it safe
to promise that New York would give her
electoral vote to the ticket made here.
Hancock was not only a great soldier, hut
a statesman as well—a gentleman against
whom nothing can be said. [Cheers.]
In conclusion lie said to the New York
delegates sitting in the convention, let us
return to our hollies, organize our party,
aud let him who shall "first refer to the
troublesome and discordant past he de
nounced as a traitor. [Great applause.]
For himself he promised to do all in his
humble power for the success of the Dem
ocratic ticket. Turning to the New York
delegates he said, let us once for all take
each other by the hand. AVe have a great
duty to perfoim together. Let us do it
with one heart and voice. [Applause.]
Fellows, of New York, came forward
in response to the call. He commented
on to-day’s action as superb; they had
healed all bitterness existing heretofore
in the Democratic party, and they were
now united to fight one common foe.
[Applause.] But they had done still
more in strangling the discordant quarrels
which had for years scandalized the whole
country. They bad restored us all to a
common country. At the conclusion, he
and Kelly shook hands formally, amid
applause. The band played “Auld Lang
Syne.” ’ •
Watson, from tbe committee on resolu
tioris, reported the platform, which was
adopted unanimously. >-
Mr. Pulitzer, of Missouri, moved that
the convention now proceed to the nomi
nation a candidate for Vide President.

distinguished citizens. He was a man
who was never defeated for any position
when his name was before the people, nor
would lie be" now. Indiana would cast her

about Gen. Hancock as an officor and
gentleman, I will sign it without hesita
tion.”
The army officers on duty at the war
department don’t deal much in politics.
They have, however, but one tiling to say
about General Hancock, that he is one of
tiie finest officers in tiie army, and one of
the best men in the country. The Demo
cratic nominee is pop’ular among all the
ofliceis anjl men in service.
, Postmaster General Key said: “The
nomination of General Hancock is tiie
strongest they (the Democrats) could
have made. He has a good record as a
soldier, and has no political record to an
swer for.”

that tribuna!, that it was liable to be
taxed on its property as other property ot'
the people of thfe State is taxed. Asa re
sult of that litigation we may mention
that Attorney-General Ely recently col
lected from that corporation tiie sum of
sixty-nine thousand four hundred and fif
teen dollars and eighty-three. cents ($09,-
415.83), the principal of the tax due for
the past year. Suits are now pending for
the interest and penalties, which if col
lected will swell the above amount con
siderably. , , ,
Attorney-General Ely made hi? maiden
speecli before the Supreme Court of the
United States in these cases. One of
those distinguished judges, happening to
meet Avith au eminent laiyyer of this State,
inquired if he knew the attorney-general
of Georgia, and thereupon paid him a
very high compliment for the able and
skillful manner in which he represented
his State before that high tribunal.. There
have been collected during, the present at
torney-general’s term of oflice the follow
ing amounts: From tiie Macon and Au
gusta railroad, $10,124.80; from the Geor
gia railroad, $28,337.04; from the Augusta
and Savannah railroad, $10,834.50; from
the Central, $80,750.48, and from the Fort
Valley and Hawkinsyllle railroad, $1,010,
making a total of $211,821.00 that has
been already realized. It is expected that
tliis sum will be greatly increased when
all the cases now in litigation are settled.
Although these amounts appear large, yet
they arc insignificant yvhen compared
with the principle lvhich has been settled,
I iy which thousands of dollars will annual-
y flow into the treasury from these cor
porations, Avhich have hitherto escaped
the common burdens of taxation.
Attorney General Ely.—Weekly
Democrat: Major R. N. Ely, the present
efficient attorney general of the State,
seems to be meeting Avitli a general in
dorsement by the people as a candidate
t or re-election. Of the candidates at
•resent spoken of for the place, avo say
without hesitancy that Major Ely is our
preference.
From all that we can gather he has
made a most excellent officer. Au article
that we copy from the Atlanta Constitu
tion elsewhere will give an idea of the
immense sums of money that have gone
into the treasury through the vigilance of
this officer.
As a lawyer Major Ely,, we believe,
ranks with the highest, and we understand
that he was recently very highly compli
mented by the judges of the United States
Supreme Court for the masterly manne
in which he recently conducted a case for
the State before that august body. S .
Haetavei.l Sun: Hon. Robert N. Ely,
attorney general of the State, will be a
candidate before the State convention for
re-nomination to that officeThrough all
the investigations that developed so much
corruption at Atlanta daring the last leg
islature Mr. Ely came out unscathed.
This fact strongly commends him to the
people for re-election. He has prtwen
himself a diligent and faithful officer, and
is one of the cleverest gentlemen to be
found in the Gate City. ■
Monroe Advertiser: Major R. N. Ely,
whose name is at the head of this article,
is a candidate for re-election for the hon
orable position of attorney general. Ma
jor Ely lias been an industrious, faithful
officer, and lias saved to the State of Geor
gia tens of thousands of dollars, in prose
cuting claims which the State had against
corporations anil individually/ In these
suits he lias been extraordinarily success
ful; while we ivould not detract one iotai
from the claims of others, Avko are aspir
ing to tliis position, yet Ave think it is not
a bad idea to retain the man av1k> has
proven so efficient as to gain the confi
dence of all. Major Ely has been in office
just long enough to understand the work
ing of the position and therefore conld
render the State efficient service on ac
count of his experience.
Elberton Gazette: Major R. N. Ely,
the efficient atorney general of the State,
is a candidate for re-election. The man
ner in Avhich he lias discharged the ardu
ous duties of his office reflect great credit
upon that gentleman, au;l his re-election
is generally conceded.
Cuthbebt Appeal: As,, far as our
knowledge extends, Col. Ely lias no oppo
sition for his position, and Avill probably
have none, as he makes a very acceptable
officer.
Robert N. E£y.—Thomasville Times:
We publish on our outside some com
ments on the manner iu which tiie above
gentleman has discharged the duties of his
office—that of attorney general of the
State. The showing is flat teriug to Major
Ely, showing him to be both vigilant and
competent. ~
Madison Madisonian: General Ely, our
efficient State attorney general, has won
netv laurels in his defense of the State’s
interest in tlia railroad cases before the
Supreme Court. After his gallant, able
and overwhelming argument before that
tribunal recently iu the case of the State
vs. the Southwestern railroad, no one can
question his ability or fitness for the posi
tion ho occupies. •Eacli paper in the State
that has spoken of this faithful officer, does
so m the most complimentary manner.
Baptist Banner: The condensed glean
ing Item tiie Atlanta Constitution, re
garding Attorney General Ely, will be
read witii interest. The prosperity of a
State depends much upon the integrity
and efficiency of its officers. The present
attorney general has both these qualities
in a praiseworthy degree.

The Mercer band, seated in the four-horse
Wagon, furnished mnsic.
At ten o’clock the Macon lodge, seven**
ty-two strong, marched from their room,
and passing down tlip line of Knights, re
ceived the customary salute, after which
they fell into line, and the command to
march being given, the procession moved
off. The Knights presented a fine ap
pearance as they passed through the
streets, sitting their horses witii all the
grace and statelines i of the old time cav
aliers. Their chapeaus, white feathers,
regalia and spurs, set them off to the best
advantage. Among those present we no
ticed several Avlio, in, days gone by, cov
ered their names with honor, when they
bestrode tlieir steeds with drawn blades.
In the rear of the Knights, drawn by a
white horse, rode the prelate, Rev. S. S.
Sweet, in flowing robes and mitre. The
entire pageant was a beautiful one; the
rich jewels of the order, and elegaut
swords, adding much to the scene. >
At the park the exercises were opened
by music from the hand, after Avhich the
Masons Avere called to their feet, Avhile the
prelate offered a fervent prayer. Dr. J.
Emmett Blackshear then arose and grace
fully introduced the orator of the day,
Nat. E. Harris, Esq. Mr. Harris’ address
Avas one of the most touching and elo
quent‘we have ever heard; chaste in lan
guage, exquisite in metaphor, sparkling
with originality and Avit, it fell from the
speaker’s lips,' “a thing of beauty and a
joy forever.”
Any attempt to cut down or synopsize
the speech, would do injustice to the
speaker and the effort. IVe hope on the
morrow to reproduce ii in full, regretting
only that the living fire of eloquence that
lingered around its birth, must necessarily
be lost to the reader. Masons will find In
it a vindication of the claims of. their dri
der, and scholars, wisdom arid beauty.
After the speech had ended, the audience
was gracefully dismissed by Mr. Roland
B. Hall, the benediction by the prelate
having been pronounced. Those whose
! feet were ready to beat time to the music
of the dance adjourned at once to the hall
where Kessler’s band was stationed
During the dancing we stole a glance at
the preparations which had been made for
dinner. In the centre of Floral Hall ta
bles covered with red cloth had been ar
ranged so as to form a cross* Flanking
these Avere numerous otheii and all were
laden to their utmost capacity Avfth all
that could tempt the appetite.
It is said that only one man ever de
scribed correctly a gigantic dinner. He
<iicd from the effort, and we don’t propose
to attempt his task or tempt his fate.
Sufficient to say, that more than three
hundred plates Avere set, and -viands for
double that number were prepared. When
the bugle sounded, the hungry picnickers
marched in and did fuQ justice to the
feast. When all the invited guests had
dined the Kuiglits carried out their charit
able resolutions by throwing open the
door and inviting the newsboys and Arabs
to help themselves. The pen of Jenkins
could not describe the scene; the little
fellows ate and ate, until it seemed as
though death from suffocation would
ensue. When they had ended, they drifted
slowly homeward, their corporosities giv
ing them the appearance of fortunate ticks
on a midday exclusion. *
Dancing in the hall was resumed after
dinner, and continued uutil a late hour.
Thus ended one of the most successful
aud satisfactory celebrations we have eA*er
witnessed. Complete in all its arrange
ments, it was carried out in a manner
worthy of the high standing and charac
ter of its projectors.
Death of Sir. Pat Whalen.
Mr. Pat Whalen, whose death in Sa
vannah Avas mentioned in these columns
a day or two since, Avas an old resident of
Macon. For more than twenly-fh*e years
ho was in the employ of the Central rail
road as conductor and otherwise, and was
at one time proprietor of the National
Hotel in this city. '
The Savannah News saj*s:
About half-past 12 o’clock yesterday
morning, Mr. Patrick Whalen, an old and
Avell known citizen, whilst in his store on
Roberts street, near West Broad, attend
ing to his usual ai’ocations, suddenly
dropped dead to the floor. Tiie announce
ment of his,sudden demise created consid
erable sensation throughout the neighbor
hood, aud crowds gathered at the store to
learn the particulars, as he Avas very high
ly esteemed. There Avas. general regret
expressed iu the community also, as Mr.
Whalen Avas well known, respected, and
uniA*ersa1ly popular. An inquest ‘ Avas
held on the body, and the jury rendered a
verdict ol death from heart disease. 'Dr.
T. B. Chisholm had attended him some
lime .previously for the heart disease.
Trie deceased ivas for many years in the
employ of the Central railroad, and Avas
known throughout the State, having been
train hand, baggage master and conduc
tor,'and subsequently Avas manager of the
National Hotel at Macon. Of late years
he had been conducting a store iu RolL
ertsville. He Avas a native of Ireland,
about fifty years of age, and Avas a very

Weliave npfc ^hesitated tfijppeak plainly
in this matter, nor shall Ave as the
occasion.demands. The action of Abner
F. Gibson has been openly condemned in
these columns and in the strongest lan
guage we could find. -A full statement of
all tlip’facts has heed, given the public.
The city of Macou is charged.by the
press with the blood of Mr, Wolihin. The
people constitute the city, therefore the
people are charged. Now, wherein are
they guilty.in this matter? Inthe acquit
tal of Gibson, it is said, and in the con
tinuance of the present police force. Let.
us examinie end settle this matter.
Of the jury in the late Gibson trial, four
only were citizens of Macon, or lived here;
and yet the city is charged with the crime.
Sodpm would have been saved had ten
righteous men been found, but Macon, it
seems, must be written down because, in
a jury of twelve, four from a population
of 20,000 Avere found to acquit a man
charged with murder. What are
the facts regarding the po
lice? The knife thrust in the
Wolihin case, was given the moment the
police arrived on the scene of the difficul
ty, and before they had received direc
tions as to Avhoin they' should arrest.
“They should Jiave arrested Gibson at
once,” says one. They did. A man need
not berin the grasp of a policeman to be
under arrest. Their statement (the po
lice) is, that they could only gather au
idea of the aflray by a glance; that glance
showed them Wolihin holding Gibson in
one corner, and others keeping Thomton
outside. Was it not natural for them to
suppose that 'these two were the princi
pals? And was it, under this view, nec
essary to seize Gibson instanter, when he
was penned in the corner by three men.
The bloAv was given as Wolihin re
leased him, and just as Wolihin
and tjie policemen faced each
other, one to order the arrest, the other to
ask Avliom to arrest, and before a word
Avas spoken—given the moment the po-
licemanarrived. Still, it is urged, Gibson
should have been arrested in the morning.
Why ? There is no one charging him with
disorderly conduct on' the street. He was
disorderly in a ban-room, but that room
was locked up, and no policeman had a
right, officially, to enter unless called in,
even Avere the doors open and they had
knoAvn of the disorder. Public opinion
wouid have sustained them, it is true, had
they arrested Gibson the instant he
showed signs of drinking; but the police
must he governed by laAV, not public opin
ion. Suppose the effort had been made
and resistance had beep showed,the officers
would have been not only guilty of assault,
but responsible for any injury Inflicted.
There was no moment, up to the time of
Gibson’s entrance in the hotel, when he
could have been legally arrested.
Justice to the police, and a regard-for
truth, demands this statement.
There are attacks on tjie city of an
other kind. The Evening -JVetes, of Au
gusta, says: . . V -- . ’
No wonder the population of such cit
ies as Macon has decreased from one cen
sus to another. Who would knowingly
cin-y his family and goods to become a
citizen of such a place where life - is as in
secure as on the borders of Mexico? Ma
con must see to it that the laAA*s an? en
forced, Or she might as well close doors.
Dear Evening News, did you ev
er witness the following scene:
A little child stands ’n the street
watching the flight of a balloon
Avhich has escaped from his aAvkward
grasp. Filled Avith gas his pet toy floats
upward, rebounding when it touches an
object. Too small to soar out of sight,
too 1 light to rest on foundations, it Avill
float until a collapse ensues, or it explodes
in feeble grandeur, all uuheard.
Dear . Evening Neux, we only
twist a familiar metaphor, Avhen
we say that Avhile your imagination
is as boundless as space, your paragraph
is as pointless as the globe. Nevertheless,
it is the marksman who can hit the small
object that is most skillful. Pardon us
if we perforate your balloon.
The census of Macon in 1S60 was 7,247;
in 1S70,10,810, an increase of fifty per
cent. The present census is not yet com
plete, but a hasty glance shows that with
in the corporate limits the increase in the
last ten years has been equally as great.
Tiie city is full; there are not six houses
in its corporate limits for rent. The city
proper will not hold 3,000 more people.
What has been the result? The popula
tion has swarmed over and grown out
ward. Within a space equal to that cov
ered by the city of Augusta, we can show
here a larger population. We have built
more houses in twelve years than, Augus
ta has in twenty-five; and finer build
ings. Nay, more than (Atlanta excepted)
any city of equal population in the five
surrounding States. The postal business
of Macon is greater than that of any city
(Atlanta excepted) in North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
The wholesale dry goods and shoe trade
cf this city is larger than that of
any city in the State.
The civil and criminal law is enforced;
that some guilty parties escape, it is true;
hutrno more than elsewhere. We do not
propose to close Macon’s doors until the
mighty Augusta canal dries up, and leaves
that city trying to stand without legs or
backbone.

Young ladies v, iio .wish, to hare small
mouths are advised to repeat this at fre
quent intervals during the day: “Fanny
Finch fried five floundering frogs forFran-
cis Fowler’s- father.”
A minister made an interminable call
upon a: lady of .his acquaintance. Her
little daughter, tvho was present grew
weary of his conversation and whispered
in an audible tone.* “Didn't he bring his
amen Avith; liim, mamma?” A word to
the Avise is sufficient.
Girls in China are . believed to have no
souls, and to kill them is not murder. In
this country some girls are believed to
have no hearts, hut if a jetted young man
was to kill ono of them the law Avould
make as much fuss about it as if she had
a heart as big as a water bucket.
There is no use talking. There is noth
ing under the heavens that trill approach
tiie suddenness with which a young lady-
on the streels will clutch her polonaise and
clash. for the nearest millinery factory
when she feels the hooks and eyes on her
Avhite skirts say goodbye to each other.
The members of a young ladies’ deba
ting society, in Troy, have declared in
favor of long courtships. Level-headed
girls. Observation has taught them that
there is a wonderful falling off of confec
tions, balls, carriage rides and opera,
■when courtslnp ends and the stem reali
ties of married life begins.
The young lady tvho is afraid of a pretty
little mouse and who will aim to save her
life by jumping on a chair and trying to
get her dress • braid as far from him as
possible, will afterwards go out and de
liberately cat two plates of clam chowder
(bedizened with thyme) and a schooner
of ice cream without the least fear.
“A Philadelphia sen-ant girl who was-
washing Avindows spattered some water
on a pedestrian. She apologized, he
smiled, and in four Aveeks they were mar
ried. He turned out to be worth $20C,-
000,” said tiie Detroit Free Press, and as
the statement has been widely read, the
best thing you can do when you’re obliged
to pass a girl washing . Avindows is to take
the middle of the road.
—Mr. Horatio Seymour is described ns
going tiie other day with his brother Joint
to see one of a line of splendid horses
owned lor many years in tiie Seymour
Family. Tile ex-Governor • critically ex--
amined the animal, and pronounced an
eloquent euloay upon his many merits arid
fine points. Upon' its conclusion, Jbim
Seymour, who had been quietly standing
by, remarked: “There is one important
fact connected with *this breed of horses;
which I Avisli just now to call your^ptten*
tion.” “What's that?” asked the govern r
or. “They never refuse to run!” Mr.
Seymour enjoyed the joke, and seemed te
appreciate its application.

The Cincipn&ti Enquirer lias confidence
in Gen. Hancock^ ability, as will be seen
by the following:
The Avhole outlook to the friends of
Hancock is not only roseate with the
dawn of a glorious day of success, but
they know if Hancock is elected, and the
devil himself brings his legions to help
the Radicals in unseating, he will take it j
notwithstanding.
