You remember how close It was In New York, and that all depended upon New York. .Well, 1,500 Union printers of New York, who are Republicans in politics, marched In one solid body to the polls and voted for Cleveland. “Why? On account of the New York Tribune's support of Blaine. It was really the only morning paper In New York city that was supporting Blaine. It publicly said that if Blaine was successful, to It would belong the credit of his election. It was an anti- Union office—what tlicj craft calls a ‘rat’ office —where ‘unfair’ printers are employed and where Union men are not allowed to enter. And Hint Is why the printers knifed the Republi can ticket. If the Republican printers hadn't voted against the Republican nominee Blaine would |iave been chosen. “Now wait till you see the printers knife Whltelaw Reid. He is the pro prietor of that same New York Trib une. There are 7,U00 Union printers In New York.

Third Party peo. plo may run the’’Demooratlo machine in Thnmns nnd in Worth, but they nre not going to do It anywhere else. The Harrison and Blaine battle was fought to the finish at Minneapolis without resort to personal abuse or slander. This is refreshing in modern i politics, and the leaders of the Repub lican party have set an example to the Denioorats worthy of umulattoo.

A New York Episcopal clergyman has made a suggestion for the regula tion of the drink evil that astonishes prohibition workers as though a bomb had been exploded in their midst, Since the'evil cannot be suppressed, he . urges that the churches operate estab lishments tor the sate of “light drinks.” He says that this is to be done decent ly and in good order and strictly on prohlbltlon.prlnoiples. This reverend gentleman la an Englishman, which probably explains Jiis ideas on that subject. The Philadelphia Record, in speaking of the condition of the political aspect at Minneapolis before the nomination of Harrison took- place, hits straight, out from the shoulder in denouncing the scandalous traffic in the votes of colored Southern delegates, while at the same time, these same Republicans lire loud in their accusations against Southern Democrats for doing the same thing. It says Republican ora tors and organs are loud In their de nunciations of the insolent political rule of Southern Democrats, and in order to restrain this domination, as they call it, they are again proposing, the passage of a Force bill by Con gress. But if all that has been charged against the Southern Demoorats had been as true as it is false it would by no means be as deplorable as what is now to be witnessed at Minneapolis In the threatened control of the Republi can nomination for the Presidency by a horde of Ignorant and purchasable (Jelegates from the South. It is the miiform testimony of impartial cor respondents on the spot that never be fore In the Republican National Con vention has the traffic in these votes been so open and scandalous. Yet it has been proposed to put not only the South but the whole country under the control of this political element through the agency of a Force bill. Not since tlie days of reconstruction have we been confronted by questions of such gravity. Democratic organ ization Is in peril, and this means Hint our political and social order, and our right of local self-government, nre in peril. The evils which we suffer arc grent indeed. Our situation is deplorable; but the disruption of the Democratic party would he the greatest calamity of a political character that could be fall us, especially at this crisis, when there Is so muoh to sustain and encour age the belief that victory is within the grasp of a united Democracy. As citizens of Calhoun county, we arc justly proud of her Democratic record. Let us now Indulge the hope that in this, the hour of trouble and of danger, she will be true to her record, and will not. trail those colors under which she has fought so long and so gallantly.

At his office, tills morning, while his mind was filled with the thoughts thnt looking back over forty years of married life brought, Capt. Davis was impelled to pen an affeotionate and gallant epistle to the loved wife who lmd trod those long years by his side. The letter spoke in tender terms of the motherly love and wisdom whloh had been the family guidance, nnd generously gave to her the credit of the success and happiness whloh had orowned their days. The letter was sent to his wife at their residence, nnd came to her, not only as an affeotionate acknowledge- Tnent of the Importance that her share of their life work has been, but as a gentle reminder that noteven business cares drove from the mind of her hus band thoughts of the day when he made her his blushing bride. Capt. and Mrs. Davis have borne eight ohlldren, all of whom are living and married, and now there are twenty children to visit grandfather and grandmother. To-night all of the children and grandohildren living in Albany will gather under the paternal roof to do honor to the oooaslon of the fortieth anniversary, and to wish many happy returns of the day.

It is a significant faot, and one that speaks ill for the Democracy of the South, that the speakers of the present campaign turn the force of their ora torical and logical battery, not upon the Republican party, ns hitherto, but upon the Democratic party itself, or upon what was once rank and file with die Demooratlo party. We now pre sent the lamentable spectacle of a di vided house. The President and Vice President of Brazil have out-generaled the Czar of Russia in exiling good and true citizens of their country for no other reason than thnt their political influ ence was feared. Within the last six weeks a large number of the leading citizens of Rio de Janeiro were se cretly arrested, transported to a boat pressed into service for that purpose, and sent up the river Amazon to a place near its head, called Amazonia. These men were seized at night, were not informed of the cause of their arrest nor even given an opportunity to bid their families adieu. Little is known of that remote corner of Brazil to which they have been sent, beyond the fact that wild Indians possess it, who are hardly less pleasant to meet than the enormous Amazonian ser pents that abound thereabouts as numerously as flies in Northern sum mer time; that mosquitoes came in clouds obscuring the sun, and every grain of sand is infected by poisonous ants and other tropical pests, making life a perpetual torment to civilized people—with but one siDgle mitigating circumstance, that it can not last long, because the climate of those lowlands under the equator is speedily fatal to human beings. Keep a small box filled with lime In your pantry nnd cellar; it will keep the air dry and pure. Soda is the best thing for cleaning tinware; npply with a damp cloth and rub well, then wipe dry. Prick potatoes before baking, so that the air can escape; this will prevent their bursting in the oven. For sore throat, beat the white of an egg stiff, with all the sugar it will hold, and the juice of one lemon. When baking cakes, set n dish of water in the oven with them, and they will not be in any danger from scorch ing. A mixture of finely powdered orris root, chalk, cigar ashes and a few drops of rose water makes an excellent tooth powder. To mend large holes in sooks or in merino underwear, tack a piece of strong net over and darn through it. The darn will he stronger and neater than without it. To clean a stove zinc or zinc-lined bathtub, mix ammonia and whiting to a smooth paste, apply it to the zinc and let it dry. Then rub it off until no dust remains. A teaspoonful of alum will make clear four gallons of muddy water. Boilingthe water is necessary to re move disease germs w hen a farm pump or town reservoir has a bad name.

He was some thing of a poet, too, In his nature, though his appearance was indicative of nothing but a careless, indolent, well-to-do man. While on his wny down town In the morning, he stopped by the gate for a chat. Above us, hidden from sight by the gloss} leaves and rich blos soms of a pomegranate tree,a mocking bird was filling the air with joyous music. He was singing with all his little might, and trill succeeded trill, and ripple, ripple until it seemed as though the ecstatic joy of beautiful song must break the heart of the feathered songster. “There,” said my friend, “listen to that bird working himself up to a pitch of quivering, palpitating, exhausting enthusiasm over his own sweet slng- Ing—poor thing! When he stops, he will be quite incapable of movement from the effort it has cost him to pour forth his soul in song in that way. But look,” continued he, as something in the grass near our feet caught his eye, “do you see that toad over there?” I looked where he pointed and saw a plump old toad resting his wrinkled self in the shade of a whitish-brown stool—warty, pop-eyed and satisfied. “I’ll tell you, Bob,” said my friend, “it’s all well enough to be a mocking bird or a nightingale in this life, with a soul quick to feel, and with a depth to feel intensely either joy or sorrow; but for real comfort, recommend tome a toad whose nature comprehends not much of either joy or sorrow, and whose life Is one long day of easy con tentment.” He stared reflectively at the sky a moment, put his oigar back in his mouth, doffed his hat and went on. The incident happened fifty years ago, but is as fresh in my mind as tho’ it were yesterday. eCMMSSfl
