Peter Cooper Think* Tlldeii "Got lhe Vote*" unil Hope* That "UlKht Will Prevail.” Pram the New York Herald,] While Mr. Peter Cooper was seated be fore his cheerful grate tire in his old fashioned house on Lexington avenue, yesterday site moon, the writer had an interesting little chat with him on the present situation : Reporter—Who will bo the next Presi dent, Mr. Cooper? Mr. Cooper- It is hard to toll. Mr. Til den/ seems to have a good chance but.for the ortort of the Government to cou/nt him out and count in Governor Hyves. /Reporter—Then you believe Mr. Tilden i-Ct'ieeted ? ■lf you take the votes of the people he lias 'got a large majority. Reporter—But he may still he deprived of the office. Sir. Cooper—Well, it would he a great shame, although I think anything would he better than that the people should get to fighting again and we should have another civil war. Well, sir, if the two candidates would agree and say we both wltbdlaw until there is another lair elec tion they would both immortalize them selves —immortalize themselves. Reporter—Did you not take a good many votes away from Governor Tilden ? Mr, Cooper—No sir ; 1 think the votes he got from me elected him. You see, he was Associated or. the ticket with Gover nor . Hendricks, who is generally sup posed to represent my views or something neat them, and that’s why many people v *od for him. AMr. Cooper hoped that the present issue be settled peaceably, and opening the door for the reporter, he kindly add ed : “Now poor oil on the troubled wa ter*. Do ail you can to prevent trouble.” A Man Wlio limited Himself Because Tllilen was Counted Out. Sedalia (Mo.) Times.] Hezekiah Cole, a farmer, residing near Lebanon in this county, ended his earthly trials on Tuesday last by hanging himself. During tho past campaign he took an active part, in politics, enlisted in tho cause of Til den, and did all in his power to ad vance the cause of reform. After the election he became convinced that Tilden would be counted out by the Southern Returning Boards, and when be had learned that the milita ry had taken possession of the State House in South Carolina lie became verv despondent. He said little to his folks and wandered about in a distracted man ner, thus exciting the apprehension of his eldest son, who kept a close watch upon his movements. Tues day morning at eight o’clock he went out to feed the stock, and not returning soon his son went in search of him. He found his un fortunate parent hanging by his neck dead. The deceased selected a sure mode of death. Lying across a deep gulch he found a fallen tree, and walking out upon this until over the middle of the gulch ho fastened a rope to the tree and around his neck, and then with a prayer upon his lips he leaped into eternity. The fall must have produced almost in stantaneous death, as his neck was dislocated. The body was yet warm when discovered by his agonized son, but too late to render any as sistance. .—.—■—■ ♦ . The Sandwich Islands Treaty The reciprocity treaty concluded a few months ago between the United States unci the Sandwich Islands, for the special benefit of New England sugar and rice planters and California merchants, is, it is said, beginning to exhibit its beneficial effects on the Island already. New sugar and rice plantations arc being brought into cultivation, and the planting interest, which, before the treaty, was in a condi tion of decay, lias been restored to new life. It is estimated that the next sugar crop will be twenty-five per cent, greater than the last, and that the rice crop will show a still larger increase. It has been the habit to send the sugar crop chiefly to the Australian colonies, on account of the low duties that prevailed there; hut since, under the recipocity treaty, Sand wich Islands sugar is admitted into the United States without duty, the whole crop will hereafter come to San Francis co. Indeed two-thirds of the. next crop lias already been engaged by the San Francisco refiners. There will be no fall in the price of sugar, even in San Fran cisco, for the present, on account of this free admission of the Islands’ product ; all the advantages will go to the refiners of that city. The price of rice has fallen however, in that market. San Francisco will reap nearly all the benefits of the new treaty, on this side. Its exports ot lumber, hardware and flour have nearly trebled in the last month, and arrange ments are being made by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to put on a direct line, steamers between San Francisco and Honolulu. All this of remarks the St. Louis Republican, is an illustration of the benefits of free trade, even on a small scale, as free trade is the spirit of the new treaty. — Sav. Neics_ The “Off” Side. From the Detroit Free Frees ] “De family dat I b’long to never takes a dare,” exclaimed a colored man at the Central Maiket when a stall keeper of fered to bet him a quarter that he wouldn’t take off his boots and run to the City Hall and back. The money was put up in the hands of Brother Gardner, the colored philosopher, hoots and stockings came off, and away the man trotted in the snow. “I believe 1 takes that currency,” he re marked as he returned in gallant style. "De stakeholders desires to call the at tenshun ofdis crowd to de followin’ para graph in de dealy papers,” remarked Brother Gardner, exhibiting a paper and placing his finger on the statement that John Morrissey had declared all bets off. ‘‘Dat settles dis quesbun to once,” he continued. "I returns all de money ’cept 3 per cent, and de case is just de same us afore Mr. Jackson hoofed it aroun’ in de snow.” _ The Calamity of the Age—All the later reports of the Bengal cyclone confirm the first statements made of its magnitude, and its fatal results cannot b 8 estimated by any facts or figures. The loss of life is put at over two hundred and fifty thousand, being two-thirds of the population. This trouble, remarks the Baltimore Sun, follows a long era of famine there, and the people of India gener ally rightfully feel that they have been severely afflicted of late years. We know of them only through their troubles, though they number a quarter of the whole hu man race, and take interest in them only when we have news of some ca lamity befalling them. The cyclone, and their visitation ranks among the memorable events of human history. No calamity since the destruction of Herculaneum and Pompeii has been so terrible in its results. Gov. Yance, of North Carolina, it seems probable will be inaugurated at the point of the bayonet, for near ly ail the volunteer military compa nies in the State have already indi cated their purpose to participate in the inauguration ceremonies.

Baird, Sec’y of Publication of Presbyterian Church South.] Richmond, July 27,1874. The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have ever used which has removed the dandruff from the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It has also restored my hair to its natural color; and by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have no doubt it will preserve the color. E.T. BAIRD. [From Rev.
