A few days since the Teleobaph com mented upon the prohibition convention called in tlie State of New Hampshire, which long since Incorporated in its statutes n strong prohibitory clause. It seems that the good folks of New Hampshire have realized that there is a difference between prohibition nnd the prohibition law,, a dif ference as large as seven cocktails per day, perhaps, and lliai 11 Ss on the enforcement rather than the passage of such laws that the safety of the temperance cause rests. Something like this is reported from Maine by the Bangor Commercial, which General Gordon'* Nomination. The long and bitter contest is over, and through the action of a State convention duly assembled, General Gordon is the can didate of the Democratic party for Governor of Georgia.

No sense of the grim hnmor of the altua tlon appears to have dawned upon the minds of sny of those present. They went ahead with speeches and resolutions declaring their iuteution "to put down the liquor traffic” Just a* earnestly, and ap parently as hopefully, as if their movement were something new under the snn and therefore preg nant with unbounded possibilities. W’e hear it whispered that in many of the Georgia counties pledged against the sale of liquor, that the selling of drinks, in a quiet way, is about aa popular, perhaps a little mire bo, than prohibition. Can it he that the prohibition in Georgia and Atlanta is to be wiped out after the fashion of New Hampshire and Maine; that the people are to get rid of licenses and have whisky and pro hibition at the same time?- Who says the average American freedom-loving citizen is not a political economist? hold up his hands, and, so far as it is 1 the SUte University, and u we recognize the Uni- _... . verelty u the head of the education. 1 sv.t.m In within our power, support him in the die- j Georgia, we venture to express the hope that tho charge of his responsible duties. ‘ “ ‘ " pleased to acknowledge frankly and ful-1 meiTw station' mav hnva fall- Resolved further.

Happier would have been her lot had she stepped down from tho White llouso some fine morning and given her hand to an honest American workingman with the grime of his Undo upon his arms and the sweat of manly toil upon his brow. A faithful bus hand, a homo coniecrated to affection, enough to eat and wear, and liberty—these would have been her own. Sho has them sot now.

Besides sketching the career of the remarkable Quaker, he will present a picture of the Puritan society in which he was so notable a figure. Juiiun Hawthorne, the novelist, took tho law into his own hands at Sag Harbor, L. L, two years ago, and severely punished a neighbor's boy who was ntischi-1-wak ing on his premises. Ever since then, Mr. Hawthorne says, the neigh bors have, been in league against him; his own cattle have died and strange ani mals have been let loose in his most oher- ished gardens. Now Mr. Hawthorne is to shake the d»'«t of Sag Harbor from his feet and leave the place forever—which is exactly what the neighbors want. Mr. Henry Irving spoke recently at Ox ford of tho lost days of Edmund Keen,who “died without a ten-pound note.” A few days after Irving received a letter from Mr. Robert Browning, inclosing the idertical purse—of slightly faded green silk—found in the pocket of tho great actor after his his death “without a sixpence therein.” It was given by Charles Keen to John Forster, and by him to the poet, who now sends it to the actor in due succession. “How can I more worthily place it,” gracefully writes Mr. Browning, “than in yonr bands if they will do me tho honor to take if, along with all respeat and regard?” A Lion Tumci'e Escape. From the Poll Mali Gazette. The fascinated Englishman who is said to have followed about for teu years Bidel, tho celebrated lion tamer, and to have watched his every performance in the expectation of witnessing tho inevitable accident, has at length met with a part of his reward. A few nights ago Bidel was attacked and dis armed by bis performing lion, Sultan, who f- urteen years ago signalized his arrival in Paris by killing a man. The brute stood over his master and proceeded to get to get to wotk with his claws, when Bidel rais ed himself, and getting well under Saltan, by an effort of almost superhuman strength hurled him off through the open door of a cage, which was promptly doted. It was fonnd that the tamer hod seventeen wounds on his neck and shoulders; but notwitb standing, he presented himself before the spectators, streaming with blood os he was, aDd proposed to continue tho exhibition, and show that he and not Sultan was really master. This was, of coarse,' not permitted; bat the p-rformonees have recommenced, and tho Englishman, if he U not reloasi ed from the spell, will probably still have ex tensive opportunities of srpdj ing the - ways of performing lions.

Mr. Morrison and Mr. Bcndall are atrongly opposed to each other on almoat every proportion that comet up. It ia now believed the Morriaon resolu tion, as amended by the Senate, will be accepted by the House. This raises the reserve to be held by the treasury to $130,000,000. If the Senate insists upon its amendments the House will agree to it, believing the redaction of the aurplua to this amount is better than nothing. It ia a matter of current report, however, that the President will veto the resolution. It ia also understood that he may veto one or two of the principal appropriation bills. It is feared he will veto the sundry civil hill on account of the silver certificate claim*- put into it by the House. Although this clause has been modified by the Senate to a certain extent it is still said to ho in a form objectionable to the President. It is now certain that Congress can finish all its Loximes by Monday or Wednesday of next week if the President does not cause delays by unexpected vetoes of some of the etipro- prialion hills. “ SAW latino his ease In Frown thinks, was forsod bp sum# cBeandbad blm bENATOE Jones, now taking nit eaae ln I so os to gat him In Macon wbira b« wlllba Detroit, says that he was retained to pon-1 liable to arrest under the stale law." without his conaent and shall consult The 0aT lnEton and Itaeon Railroad, his own comcience about going then.

Wo were not to return the same day, either, and I was told to wait awhile before going back to tho village. I sjtent tho first night after tho raid in the cabin of a poor farmer among the hills. During the conversation in the evening, in which I took part, some one incidentally spoke of Hector Davis, ‘the man without bones.' I asked what was meant by that expression, and was told that Hector Davis was 'one of our neighbors, tbreiwniles up the road, who hasn't a bone in his body.’ I langheddit the statement, bat my host vol unteered to show me over the hills to Hector Davis’s home. I promised to go, expecting to see a rustic contortionist or a sick mao. “We knocked at the Davis cabin about 9 clock next morning. The first thing I ■aw upon entering the door was a middle Sgod vosri uilting nnriuht in ft mdft invalid'd chair. A framework attached to the hack of the chair supported his head. He was introduced to me by my guide, Rufus Pick- well, ns Hector Davis. I entered into con versation with the man and found him to be ns well informed as any of the mountain farmers. Ilia voice was firm bat not very loud. I grasped bis hand when introduced, hut I dropped it lively. His fingers rolled up together like so many bands. lie invited me to toko hold of his limbs, and they yielded to pressure until flattened to twice their proper width. The only indication of hone was his skull, and that conhl bo depressed, bnt if done it gave the poor fellow mnch tain. His neck was us limber as a rag, and tie head, when released from tbe frame, rolled he’plt-Bsly about on his shoulders. His arms hung at his side, but ho could raise tha forearm up a trifle. Thero was no strength in his wrists, and when the arms were raised the hands curled over limply. Davis shuffled off liia slipper and asked me to step on his foot. 1 did so, and it flattened out like rubber. It took several minutes for it to resume its natural shape, and it was half an hoar before he could pnt on hU slipper. “Perhaps you would like to tie my legs in a knot ?” said he. Ptckwell and myself found no diffionlty in performing this feat, but we had to untio tho knot soon, because it prevented circulation in the limb. We alao tied knots in his arms. I began to think I hod seen enough. 1 hod something of the feelings of a man after attending a spiritualist's seance. Bat I had not yet seen the most wonderful exhibition of bone lessness. > “Can yon lay mo down on the floor?" ask ed Davis. .We did, bnt it was no easy task, for his body slipped in all directions. We secured firm grips upon his clothing and kept him from falling. Pickwell had as sisted at this performance before. After laying him down on the olean rag carpet, my companion seized a barrel, which 1 afterwards learned contained tar- nips, and proceeded to roll it over the pros trate Davis from his toes to hit ehin. The only manifestation of distress or pain shown was when the barrel rolled acroei his cheat. The barrel lefa Davis in a horrible shape. Ho was literally ‘flat os a pancake.’ But that was not oil. ‘Roll me np, Rufus,' said the boneless horror. Immediately Pick- well doubled Davis's head on his chest and then contimud to roll him up like a big door met. When his feet were reached, Davis looked like an armadillo, nnd he soon asked to he unrolled again. “When the man's body was resuming its natural shape I learned from his old spec tacled mother, who nat in a rocking chair near by, knitting, though apparently not liking the exhibition, that her son was 40 yeaia old. He hail enjoyed perfect health until two yrnra before, when his hands and feet gradually become numb and weak. Tten tbe bones began to soften, and this spread rapidly to all puts of his auatomy. Beyond making him n-1 plena he never ex periouct-d nay inoonvemcnee from the ■■range blUietion.
