FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1877.

Grace Greenwood, Lucy Stone, find Other masculine females are engaged In the Colorado political canvass. The Republican papers close their announcement of the nomination of Gen. McClellan by the Democracy of New Jersey for Governor, with the prediction-“He will be elected.” < f course he will; and we trust the time is nut far distant when he will be elevated to the Chief Executive office of the United States by the same great and glorious party. An exchange very appropriately says that a 'child beginning to read becomes delighted with a newspaper, because it reads of names and things with which it is familiar, and will progress accordingly. A newspaper one year is worth a quarter’s schooling Now if you have a son, daughter, nephew or niece whom you would Like to see advance rapidly, a present of one year’s subscription tc a good local paper would be the very thing. General George B. McClellan has the Democratic nomination for the Gubernatorial office in New Jersey, and in his letter of acceptance aays: “The resolutions adopted by the convention have my hearty approval. Should I be elected Governor of New Jersey, I will do all in my power to insure honesty and economy in the public expenditures of the State, to secure the rights of all itsinhabitants, and to promote the prosperity of its people.” Republican editors and stump speakers whose stock in trade has been to fan the flames of sectional hatred, and flaunt the bloody shirt are respectfully invited to consider rhe following from Hayes’ speech, at Atlanta, Georgia: “It was no discredit to you and no special credit to u» that the war turned out as it did.”

What Mr. Hayes no doubt mean* was that, considering the seperiority of the North in numerical strength and resources it accomplished nothing more than should have been expected; and the inferiority in numbers and resources of the South, taken into consideration, that section made a tight not at all to its discredit. Yet, had Mr. Tilden uttered the above sentiment, he would have been heralded by the radical papers all ovet the land as an unrepentant rebel and copperhead. John .Sherman has appointed to a place in the treasury department Major E. Grisword, of Baltimore, who was on the staff of General Winder, in command of the prison pens during the war In his testimony before the congressional committee on the conductor the war, Captain Porter, of the 120th Illinois infantry, said of Griswold: “He is the most infamous wretch I ever knew.” This AnderVonvilllan is quartered on the government while an aged sister of General Meade is Is dismissed from the penton office.—Chicago Times. What an honorable high-minded class of southerners it is which becomes “repentant rebels” and allied to the radical party. The notorious guerrilla chieftain and assassin of Union soldiers—Moseby—and the infamous and inhuman keeper of Andersonville—Griswold! Surely the radical party should be congratulated upon its acquisitions in rebeldom. Fbaternal feeling is now at, high tide in every part of the South. The click of the outrage mill is heard no more, and in its stead, the voice of wisdom is heard giving lessons in patriotism on all proper occasions. The following neat little speech recently delivered by Governor Nicholls, of Louisiana, on the occasion of a sword presentation to General Ogden is a casein point: “You will notice that it is sheathed, emblematic of peace throughout the land. That upon its scabbard are traced the representations of all the great agricultural products of our fertile soil, indicative of prosperity and happiness, the result of that peace. That upon its guard are found so near together the arms of the United States and those of Louisiana, that the hand which clasps the one clasps the other, signifying that with justice accorded confidence has returned, and with restored union the interests of the general and State governments are identical and are one and the same. Louisiana is now free, left to pursue untrammeled the path of happiness which God with a most beneficent hand has evidentlymarked out for her, and wisdom and patriotism have appreciated and recognized that it is not only best, but it is clearly light that it should be so.”

Hayes in the South.

The journey of Mr. Hayes through the South, unlike the previous excur--sions of the same personage, displays one feature of extraordinary suggestiveness and importance. We refer tc a fact that among the throngs that have surrounded him and cheerei him, not one prominent Republican has been seen. The representatives of the party which bore Mr. Hayes to the White House have all been* conspicuous by their absence. Ouly Democrats and ex-Confederates have h waited him, welcomed him, "and cheered him. The reason of this is plain. Since Mr. Hayes came into pow*er ho has steadily turned his back upon the Republican party, repudiating its ancient ideas, pushing aside its leading men in the Southern States, and seeking for friendship and support in the ranks of the Democracy alone. Hence -the spectacle to which we have refer<ed. Hence the plaudits of Democrats and the sullen absence of Republicans. His own party strnd aloof nom him because they feel that he has destroyed them. The other party crowd around him because they know that he has done precisely wlmt they require, and done U more toerougbly

and wdh less q es.ioti or hesitation t an Mr Tilden would have brought to the task. . What is the Anal fateofffbigh official who a’ andons his owfr party and goes over to its enemi s? What became of John Tyler? What became of Andrew Johnson ? They Were much larger men than Mr. R.B. Hayes, with' nippier powers of mind and greater ‘ force of character. Yet destruction j evrtnok them. The traitor is always hated by the party he betrays, and always despised ;by the party he serves. Mr. Hayes ran form no exception to the rule.— New York Nun. f?o far as concerns Ardrew Johnson. neither the editor of the N. Y. Sun nor any one else can predict what might have been his fate. He was returned to the U. z ited States Senate, and died with his harness on. A Mississippi paper says a colored man in Jefferson county, that State, found difficulty in getting to eat his ' own watermelons. So one night he ' drugged aflnemellon. Next morning a colored deacon in the church was taken with symptoms of poisoning, and in his agony cried out : “D«t watennilion was surely pizened, and , es de Lord will only forgib me, I’ll neber stoal anudder.” But he died.

Railroad Mass Meeting. —The court house was filled ln«t Saturday afternoon with mew and women who enrue to bear an nnswrr to What about the railroad? Mr. 8. W. Ritchey was elected chairman, and Horace E. James secretary. Col. Hurlburt of Ge''i*gis spoie about three-quarters of an hour, discussing superiority of narrow or 3.f00t gauge milroads over the standard gauge system of 4 feet 8| inches, taking the position that they afforded a practical solution of the hitherto perplexing problem of cheap transportation. .Col. Yeoman of Washington. Ohio.jtpUowed with a sta’ement in detnil of his personal experience in constructing and operating a narrow-gauge road in Ohio. He was succeeded upon the floor by Hon. John Lee of Crawfordsville, president rs the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago railroad company, whose argument wa- that staiid-ird-gange roads do not pay, but that narrow-gauge roads might he made to do all the business now done by more costly structures at less expense to patroip and greater profit to managers nnd stockowners. He also thought the prospect fair to build his line on the nArrow-gange plan, and to have sixteen miles cf it (connecting Rensselaer with Bradford on the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road) completed with the cars running, bes re 1877 closes. Alfred McC< y, Esq , Jasper county director in the I , D. & C. company, followed Mr. Lex' with n stirring appeal to his neighbors to subscribe liberally to the stock of the company; and by a strong, unite), unfaltering effbit assist to place that portion of Indiana through which the line runs on the highway to competency. All the speeches received cin e attention, an! the speakers were often applauded ; but enthusi <sm arose to white heat during the fervent appeal of Mr. McCoy. The result was several thou- ' sand dollars additional of stock subscripI lions taken. After the public meeting was : closed the president and directors of the ; company held a conference with the reyrej sentativesof a railroad construction compai ny >n relation to the contrict for building I and equipping the road; nothing, however, : was determined upon, and an adjournment was taken, to.meet at Indianapolis yesterday ■ for further deliberation. Besides the first I three speakers named before, there were I present from abroad as interested auditors Me»srs. M. and A. Hegler of Washington, > Ohio, Drs. Angell, Rinehart and Richard- ■ son and Mr. Holt of Carroll county, Dr. I Bushnell nnd Mr. Hughes of Monticello, I Mr Halstead of Lake county, and several j others who are intereste 1 in the work. (Rensselaer Union. I The contract for building this road was concluded at the City of Indianap lis last Wednesday, Samuel N. Yeoman & Co., being the contractors. The division from Rensselaer to Bradi ford is the first to be built. PresiI dent Lee suys that work will oom- ■ mence next week if the subsidies are ‘ at once put in shape to apply on this : division when completed. Now is the time for Rensselaer tc respond promptly and raise herself out of the mud. , Let there be no delay in this matter, i i nd we will see the Iron Horse suort- ! ing into Rensselaer by Christmas j day* ' President Lee and Chief Engineer Ferris are in town this morning. Mr. Lee informs us that the engineer will leave to-day and pass over the line from this point to Dyer in the interest of the road, and will return in time to commence running the line from Rensselaer to Bradford next Monday morning.

The Discovery of Quinine

The discovery of the medical properties of cinchona bark bark is enveloped in great obscurity. All that we know about it for certain is this: Before the year 1638—that is to say, one hundred aud fifty years subsequent to the discovery ot America—not even the Spaniards were acquainted with the febrifuge qualitie. of cinchona bark; but in this year, or thereabouts, the counhss del Cinchon, the wife of the Spanish viceroy of Peru, was cured of a violent intermittent fever by drinking an infusion of the bark, and this led to its introduction into Europe. Were the natives themselves acquainted with it? Humboldt answers this question very positively in the negative, and refers the discovery to the Jesuit missionaries, who, being in the habit of tasting the bark of every tree they hewed down, at length discovered the precious febrifuge. Other authors of repute contend that the virtues of cinchona bark were known to the Indians long before the advent of the Spaniards; but the question again arises how they first became acquainted with its properties. To account for this the ridiculous tale has been invented that certain animals, while laboring under fever, happened to gnaw the bark of one of the cinchona trees, and were cured forthwith. Far mire probable is it that some cinchona trees having been laid prostrate by the tempests in a pool of water, and the latter becoming charged with the medicinal principle, some person laboring under fever drank cf this water, was cured, and published the result. But however this may be, it is certain that the remedy first became popularized in Europe through the agency of Count del Cinchon, viceroy of Peru, whose wife, as we have said, was cured of intermittent fever by its administration. The new remedy, however, was badly received in France and Italy. The faculty set their faces against it. Physicians who dared prescribe its use, were persecuted, and it was only the patronage of Louis XIV which ultimately rendered it popular in France. This monarch, suffering from intermittent fever, was cured by an English empiric named Talbot, by means of a secret remedy. This was no other than cinchona bark. Louis XIV purchased the secret for the sum of 48,000 livres, and bestowed yearly a pension of 2.000 livres on the Englishman, besides giving him letters of nobility. Three years subsequently the remedy was published. It was a highly concentrated vinous tincture of cinchona bark. Cinchoni trees grow in the densest forests of Peru. The task of discovering them, removing their bark and conveying the latter to the place of export, is troublesome, difficult and dangerous. In these forests there are no roads.— Frightful precipices intersect the path of the cascarillero, or bark gath Ter, across which it is difficult to pass, even while unembarrassed by a load. So soon as the treasure of barks has been secured these difficulties and dangers proportionately increase, so that the comparatively low price at which cinchona may be procured is in itself a matter of surprise.—Cassell’s New Pooular Educator.

Doctors Differ.

So far as I have been able to judge the Southern people were as enthusiastic and loyal to the representative of the government as any. I found that the correct and true sentiment and desire of the people was to return to former friendship and goo'd feeling with all sections, and that the sentiment in these (Southern) States was identical with that of the .New England States.—R. B. Hayes, Sept. 25th. “ They will not be simply satisfied with pensioning the rebel soldier, but demand pay for loss and damage to property. ♦ ♦ * • • That the South is a whitmore loyal to-day than in 1861 we do not believe.”—Duncan McArthur Williams. Sent. 27. Crystal Springs, Miss., Monitor: A darkey came into town, a few days ago, driving an ox named Hayes.— While be was in a store making some purchases a farm r came up with a load of fodder and stopped in front of the darkey’s cait. The ox pulled up to the fodder and commenced eating it. In a tew minutes the darkey came out, and seeing Hayes as he was trying to get another bundle, yelled at the top of his voice: “Whaffer is yer eatin’ dat fodder? You kno’s tain’t youne. I sed de berry day dat I name d yer Hayes dat you wnz gwine to take suttitin’ dat nebber h’longed ter yer ! ” He drove off, giving the ox the full benefit of a returning board.

It is suggested to English and American travellers abroad not to have their letters addressed “Esquire,” as foreign postoffices fancy it is a name—hence delays and losses of letters. A good little boy who was kicked by a mule did not say naughty words or go home crying to his mother. He just tied the mule within five feet of a beehive, backed him round to it and let hint kick. The editor of the Chicago Times had the nightmare the other night, and said in an unearthly voice to the apparition that afflicted him, “For heaven’s sake, don’t! I ain’tprepared. Take Joe Medill.” A man in West Virginia was bitten in the foot by a copperhead while hunting, barefooted, recently, and as ter administering the contents of his gun to hia snakesbip, he cooly took out his knife and cut a large piece out of his foot where the fangs entered, thus saving his life. After performing this feat of suigerv, he killed i eight equirrels. He returned home and is -now sitt right.

No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of Goods FOR THE Spring and Summei trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose DUR BILITY and PRICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States.
