CHKIF John Exodus scalped Ihe Kickapoos at Indianapolis, and now carries the scalp at his belt.

GOD was six days creating the world and on the seventh he rested, and after looking over his work he said "and behold it is very good." You can apply this to the Chicago Convention.

CALEB TAYLOR, a deaf Congressman from Pennsylvania, is the delegate who stuck to Garfield from first tu last, lie was a colleague of Garfield's on a Congressional committee at one time.

TIIK Vinccnnos Daily Commercial came out to battle with the vicissitudes of a hungry public on the 7th. It is one column larger than this paper and we say a good deal when we say it is as good as this one.

HON. JOHN E. LAMB, the illuminated chief of the Sioux, dug up the hatchet and took the trail for Indianapolis, where he was elected grand medicine man for the Democracy of the Eighth Congressional District when they meet in the Couucil of the Nation in the great pow wow.

For thirty-three ballots that man stood like Casibianca on the burning deck, firm and undismavod.

Jifted himself up beyond the plane of ordinary politics into the higher and grander regions of American statesman-

now look« as if we were to have a new era in politics. Gen.

"Gea. Garfield you must be our candidate," and nominating him in spite of his protestations it strikes us that thhi It the way to get a man for the people.

WHO WILL BE 07B MEXT GOVERNOR 1 Ngw thai: the question of Presidential nomination has been settled, and such a wise choice has been made, we should turn our attention to our state affairs and be ready to place- a man on the Republican ticket for Governor, who can carry the State of Indiana It will not be many days until we will be called upon to make the nomination, and we cannot afford to make |any mistake in this matter we must go into our State Conventioni"with the determination to place a man before the people of Indiana who can carry not only his own party, but who can by his own personal strength draw largely from our political opponents. Such a man is W. R. McKeen. We have advocated the nomination of Mr. McKeen for two months, and every day brings to him in our humble judgment additional strength. A man of noted executive ability, and unquestionable character. A man in whom is combined more of the elements of popular strength than any other man spoken of in connection with the Governorship of this State. A man quiet and unobtrusive, whose whole object is to do right. A gentleman whom everybody knows, and in knowing whom everybody loves to honor for his great generosity and nobleness of heart.

The press all over the State have been pleased with the thought, that W. R. McKeen would accept the nomination for Governor. And now that but few days are left for the people of Indiana to think upon this subject, we would earnestly ask that the political fitness of each aspirant be bxamined, and that the best man be selected for the homination. In doing this we know that the honor will fall upon Mr. McKeen.

Many of Mr. McKeen's friends say that he does not want the nomination, and that he is not a andidate.

We know that Mr. McKeen is not seeking for the nomination he is not a poll tician, but he is a statesman, and has for years been the brightest Republican leader in Western Indiana. We know that he will accept the nomination if tendered him, and we further know that he will make the wisest and soundest Governor that Indiana ever had, excepting only the dead hero O. P. Morton.

McKeen's administration would be O. P. Morton's administration with the dogs of war chained to the posts of peace and prosperity. We want the people to examine the individual fitness, of all the men whose names have been used in connection with the governorship, and select for our standard-bearer that quiet, genial, and humble statesman W. R. McKeen.

ARTHUR.

Tne next Vice-President of the United States will he Chester A. Arthur, of New York City. Mr. Arthur wa a Collector of Custom at the Port of New York for some time, and was removed from that position by President Hayes, for the reason, as generally understood, beams he was an intimate friend of Roscoe Conkling. lie is a gentleman in every respect and will be the means of bringing New York around nil right* next full.

THE grand high chief and big medicine man of the Sioux joined the Democratic electors, and went into their eamp with a whoop.

FROM our special editorial dispatch from Chicago it will be seen that the Greenback folks are getting along vory nleely with their Convention.

Sagacity of Animals Overrated. It is next to impossible to shake the public faith in the value of the observations of tho lower creation. We know hv experience that our barn-door fowl will with infinite composure retire to rest at ten o'clock in the morning in case of an eclipse, yet that knowledge does not prevent tfie public from assuming the jossession by birtls of mysterious sources of information on the subject of the weather which are sealed to us. Dogs are supjHjsed le have some intuition which warns them of approaching death, and many a heart has been tortured by accenting as a forewarning of dissolution a dog's complaint, against the moon for unreasonable brightness. The fact is that animals in general are far less wise than we think, even in the matters that come directly under their ken. Observations of phenomena ou the part of a man, who, by noticing the influence Of changing condition upon various objects, animate and inanimate, becomes weath-er-wise, are far more trustworthy than that kind of feeling, which, like pain in an old wound, warns birds or animals of the approach of wet. Altogether curious it is, indeed, to see how far animals are from possessing the kind ol knowledge we are most ready to assign them, that of things they may eat with impnnitv. Quite recently Lord Lovelace underwent a serious loss in conse-

kind of food that wi II suit them, especially, when they are strange to the district in which it grows. After a* time they find its noxious qualities, and are. it appeare, able to'transmit the knowledge to their descendants.

'When a man thinks tnat nobody cares tor him, and. that he is alone in a cold selfish world, he* would do well to ask himself this question: What have I done to make anybody care for and lore me..and to warm the world with faith ana generosityT. It is generally the case that thoee who ^complain the most have done the least.

JAMES A, GARFIELD.

General Garfield, next President of the United States, was born at Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, November, 19, 1831. He is therefore about 48 years of age. He was Colonel of the 42d Ohio Volunteers, and for bravery at the Bat tie of Middle Creek, Kentucky, was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General.

He was at the battles'of Shilo, Corinth, and many other of the heavy battles, and in 1863 was appoiuted Chief of Staff of the Army of the Cumberland.

He was first elected to Congress in 1867. Before taking his seat he received his commission as Major General of Volunteer for meritorious services in the battle of Chicamauga, Tenn. He is a fine looking man, a skillful debater, a hard student, tind a member of the Christian or Campellite Church.

The following sketch ot his early life is taken from "Ohio in the War Both his parents were of New England extraction. The father, Abraham Gar field, though born In Otsego county, New York, was of a family that had resided in Massachusetts for several generations The mother, Eliza Ballou (niece of Rev. Hosea Ballou, the noted Universalist clergyman), was born in Cheshire county, New Hampshire.

The death of Abraham Garfield, in 1833, left the widow and her four young children, without fortune, in the backwoods. But there was a little farm, and on this they worked, the younges". by and by coming to be able to bear a share of the burden. In the winter there was a village school, with such small store of books as the neighborhood afforded for private reading. So the winters and the summers passed till the family had grown up, and the youngest, now sixteen years of age, had learned a little of the carpenter's trude.

But this did not prove very remunera tive. So in his seventeenth year young Garfield secured employment on the Ohio Canal, and from driver on the tow-path rose after a time to be boatman. The irregular life disagreed with him, and the fall of 1848 found him back under his mother's roof, slowly recovering from a three months'siege of the fever and ague.

Up to this time he would seem to have cherished little ambition for anything beyond the prospects offered by the laborious life he had entered. But it happened that this winter the district school was taught by a promising young man named Samuel I). Bates, [since an esteemed minister of the Gcspel at Marion, O.J He had attended a high school in an adjacent township, known as the Geauga Seminary, and with the proselyting spirit common among young men in the backwoods, who were beginning tu taste the pleasures of education, he was very anxious to take back several new students with him. Garfield listened and was tempted, lie had intended to become a sailor on the lakes, but he was yet to ill to carry out this plan and so lie finally resolved to attend the high school one term, and postpone sailing till the next fall. That reso lution made a scholar, a Major General and a Congressman out of him, instead of a sailor betore the mast on a Lake Erie schooner.

Early in March, 1849, young Garfield reached Chester (the site of the Geauga Academy), in company with a cousin and another young man from his native village. They carried with them fryingpans ami dishes, as well as their few school books. Being too poor to pay for boarding, they were to "board themselves."" They rented a room in an old, unpainted frame house near the academy and went to work. Garfield bought the second Algebra he had ever seen and began it. English Grammar, Natural Philosophy and Arithmetic made up the list of his studies. His mother had scraped together a little sum of money to aid him at the start, which she gave hum with her blessing when he left her. After that he never had a dollar in his life that he did not earn. As soon as he began to fuel at home in his classes he sought among the carpenters of the village lor employment at his trade. He worked mornings, evenings and Saturdays and thus earned enough to pay. his way. When the summer vacation came he had a longer interval for work, and so when the fall term opened he had money enough laid up to pav his tuition and give him a start again. l'lie next winter he taught again tlien, in the spring, removed to Hiram, and attending the lnstitute," over which lie was afterwards to preside. So he continued. teaching a term each winter, attending school through spring and fall, and keeping up with his classes by private study during the Hiram Institute he was tho finest Latin and Greek scholar had ever seen.

At last, by the summer of 1S54, our carpenter and tow-path boy had gone as far as the high schools and academies of his native region could cany him. He was now nearly twenty-three years old. The struggling, hard-working boy had developed into a self-reliant man. He was the neighborhood wonder for scholar ship, and a general favorite for the hearty, genial ways that have never de serted him. He had been brought up in the Church of the Disciples, as it loved to call itself, of which Alexander Campbell was the great light. At an early age he had followed the example of his parents in connecting himself with this Church. His life corresponded with his profession. Everybody believed in and trusted him.

By the ®tid of this fall term young Garfield bad made such progress that tlie lad of cightaen thought he was able to teach a district school. Then his future seemed easy to him. The fruits of the winter's teachiug were enough, with his economical management, to pay his expenses at the springand fall terms at the academy. Whatever he could make in addition by his mornings' and evenings' work at the carpenter's trade would go to swell another fund, the need of which he had begun to feel.

For the oackwoods lad, village carpehtfer' towpath canal hand, would be sailor, had not resolved to enter college. "It is a great point gained," he wrote years afterward, when, in our hurrying times, "a young man makes up his mina to devote several years to -the accomplishment of a deflnate work." It was so in his own case. With a defJlnite purpose before him, he began to save all of nfs money, and to shape all of his exertions to the

one end. Through the summer vacation of 1850. worked at his trade helping to roof and weatherboard houses within a stone's throw of the academy benches on which he had recently been construing Latin. At the opening of the next session he was able to rise a little in the world, he could now abandon boarding liimseft But he was thereby indulging in no extravagance. He found hoarding, lodging and washing at some miraculously cheap house, for one dollar and six ccnts per week. His history since then is known by all.

By thrift he had become a millionaire and had a splendid St. Bernard dog which he was very proud of. One day ihe servant came to him terror-stricken. "Master, master, Csesar is" "Is what?" "Mad, I'm afraid. He won't touch water any more than if he was a crude apostle of temperance, and there's as much foam about his mouth as if he was the sea in one of Swinburne's poems." "Great heavens, it is licky you discovered it in time. "We must not lose a minute. Take the animal, at once, before he has bitten anyone'' "Yes, sir."
