DEMOCRATIC BLUNDERS.

If there is any one thing that possesses tne soul of a editor more than another it is his disposition to ye continually talking about "Democratic blunders.” These Jellows keep red-hot and still get hotter in each campaign* .nth the id*a that “Democratc blundering” is again to . weep their own party into i >ower. It might be well to re- * ord a few of these “blunders” nthin the past fourjyears, that < >ur readers may know how se.ious they are. Here they are: Ws have held our own in he United States. We have changed the Unit d States House of Representatives from a Republican body of twelve majority to a Demoratic one of seventy-seven majority. We have elected a Demo- • ratio Governor in California n place of a Republican. We have | elected a Demoratic Governor in Colorado in place of a Republican. We have elected a Democratic Governor in Connecticut in place of a Republican. We have elected a Demo•ratic Governor in Kansas in place of a Republican. We have elected a Democratic Governor in Michigan in place of a Republican. We have elected a Democratic Governor in Nevada in place of a Republican. We have elected a Democratic Governor in New York nplace of a Republican. We have elected a Democratic Governor in Pennsylvania in place of a Republican. We have elected a Demo cratic Governor of Ohio in place of a Republican. We have elected a Democratic Governor in Tennessee in place of a Republican. Not to say anything of the election of Butler in Massachusetts a year ago, and the sweeping Democratic victory in Virginia last fall. We have rescued Indiana from Republican rule, and we will ‘blunder’ into the election of a President next fall. If this is “blundering” the Democrats do not need to be as much alarmed about it as the Republicans.

From the Indianapolis Herald, slightly changed: “It is said that Governor Morton materialised and appeared at a spiritual seance in Indianapolis one evening since the unveiling ceremonies took place In his honor. He spoke freely of the event and was in a oheerful frame of mind. In answer to the question, “How are you satisfied with the ceremonies of unveiliug your statue?” He said: “1 am deeply grateful to the peoplejof Indiana for their honorable renembrance of me. I hope I save been worthy of their oraise. The statue is a good likeness, and the sculptor has lone all he could to throw iround it the august spirit of ;he war-like times in which I ived. I was, pleased at all the dnd and eloquent words spokm of me by Ex-Senator McDonald, my most intimate personal frend through life.” — Chen bowing, and turning as fto go away, he said: sEx■Senator McDonald will be the aext President of the United ■states. God bless an d prosper :he American people under lis administration.” Then, waving his hand majestically, le vanished.

We have just ascertained iow Grant’s Pass, in Southern )regon got its name. As it vas in a curious sort of manler we publish the origin of it. 'When Grant was a lieutenmt he was camped at 1 that )lace with a party of soldiers, und they got to playing euchre or $1 on tne corner. The game : : tood three to three. Grant licked up ms cards and had he right bower, ace and king, ie concluded to pass, thinkng he could euchre his opponent, a burly miner. The re mlt was that he lost his dollar, ind the place was called “Grant’s Pass.”—Exchange. A Wyoming jury, composed if seven men and five women, were shut up for two days and wo nights, and yet they ;ouldn’t agree. It is said that f they had remained out If or seventeen years there would lave been no verdict, as the ive women talked the seven nen deaf the first six hours.— Brooklyn Argus. I

Good Manners.

Perhaps good manners are not good morals, though the ' tune wus when tue words morals and manners amounted to pretty much the same thing. When the New Testament was translated into English, in 1611, it taught its readers, and still teaches us, that “evil communications corrupt good manners. ” And the revisers of 1880 have left the good manners to stand, changing only communications into company. So I have very high authority for saying that what l am driving at in this fetter has something to do with the basis of character. A bad man may have the handsomest manners, the manners of a gentleman, and thereby the more thoroughly fitted to work ail manner of misohief with greediness. He is a hypoorite in the world, as one who merely pretends to be a saint is a hypocrite in the church. But the beginning, middle, and end of good manners may be condensed into the divinely given principle of preferring others to ourselves; denying self for the happiness of another ; rendering to everyone his due, as superior, inferior, or equal. If mothers form the manners of the children, they should feel the burden of responsibility. They may permit the inborn waywardness of the child to go unchecked, while he grows to be a pert, saucy, forward, disagreeable, dreadful boy, a terror to the neighborhood, and a nuisance to everybody but his doting mamma. She gives him a stick of candy when a stick of something not so sweet would do him more good. She coddles him into a curse that by and by will come upon her own head. Just as the twig, etc. Blood is great, and blessed are they who are well born. But more than blood, better than pedigree, is culture. Train up a child in the way he should go. He will go in it then. Teaoh him to respect those who are older than him, self; to rise up before the aged, JF.nftim was pious, because he honored his father. It is a loittg way toward godliness to obey one’s parents. And happy is the parent and happy the child when love is returned witA love.

A Queer Invention.

A detective machine has been invented in France, but it is hardly likely to take the place of the human kind in general use. It is simply a camera, so arranged that when a suspicious person enters a bank or other room, a clerk touches a little button. Presently, a concealed camera is brought into play, the sensitive plate is exposed, and in an instant the man’s photograph is taken. Or, again, the head of the house leaves his busiuess and confides it to his clerk. Some of the clerks go to sleep, or smoke cigars, or skylark, or do other things not exactly in keeping with their calhng, when there comes in a series of plates, worked by clock-work, and every action of the clerks during a series of hours is recorded. There might be even a pleasing, though compromising use of this mechanical camera. With such an instrument all the handsomest women at n soiree might be photograped without their knowledge, and galleries of beauties be put up at any one’s command.

TRUE Temperance Is not signing a pledge or taking a solemn oath that cannot be kept, because of the non-removal of the cause —liquor. The way to make a man temperate is to kill the desire for those dreadful artificial stimulants that carry so many bright intellects to premature graves, and desolation, strife and unhappiness into so many families. ItUafact! Brown’slron Bitters, a true non-alcohol-ic tonic, made in Baltimore, Md.,by the Brown Chemical Company, who are old druggists ana in every particular reliable, will, by removing the craving appetite of the drunkard, and by curing the nervousness, weakness, and general ill health resulting from intemperance, do more to promote temperance, in the strictest sense then any other means now known. It is a well authentica'. ! fact that many medic!: especially * bitters/ are : ing but cheap whiskey concocted for use , beat option countries. Such i? not the case with . .Vs Iron Bitters.

No Whiskey! Brown’s Iron Bitters is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not composed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemperance by promoting a desire for rum. Brown’s Iron Bitters is guaranteed to be a nonintoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time absolutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxicating beverages. Rev. p.W. Rice, editor of the American Christian Review, says of Brown’s I roc Bitters: Cin., 0., Nov. 16,1881. Gents: —The foolish wasting of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indulgence of our people, makes your preparation a necessity; and if applied, will save hundreds who resort to saloons for temporary recuperation. Brown’s Iron Bitters has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, bilioasness, weakness, debility, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption, *ver complaints, kidney troubles, &c., and it never fails to render speedy and permanent relief

THE IMPENDING CONFLICT. The recent elections have revealed political conditions which will, without doubt, make the Presidential election next fall the greatest pelitical conflict of oqr history.
