SUNSET COX says Democracy will win next November. Tlint settles it.

THE Greenback gentlemen at Chicago yesterday nominated Weaver for President and Chambers for Vice-President.

THE richest woman in America is said to bo Mrs. E. II. Green, wife of the Vice President of the Louisville and Nashville road. She is worth $27,000,000. Iler husband Is also vnry wealthy the income of the two being $8,5000,000 a year.

THE Inter-Occuit says that Andy Hunter, of Paris, rattled oil a good speech fOr Trumbull at the Illinois Democratic State Convention held at Springfield the day before yesterday. We have heard of Andy. lie used to be a Greenbacker, you know.

"WHEK the Republican party was born the dome of the Cnpitol at Washington cast its shadow upon the slave pens in which crowded and shuddered mothers from whose breasts babes had been torn by wrctchcs who are now howling for honesty and reform."

PROF. W. II. WILKY, Superintendent of the pity schools, will be before the Repub licfcn State Convention for Superintend ertt of Public Instruction.

Mr. Wiley is a man of wonderful experience in the management of schools ami would tnakft one of the best superintend ents the ftyatc has ever had.

As exchange says the great comedian, John Brougham, died recently, in New York, in poverty and almost in want. He might have been rich but for the fact he had a kind hoart and a generous soul. lie was oyer quick to aid the poor and needy and often when he could hardly spare the means. He often said of what use money tOine if I cannot help some one with it who is worse off than myself. Perhaps the great and *yropathotic man whose bosom burned with the spirit of humanity was right, aud though now in that unknown, but better land, thsre i#1 the consoling thought that his life has not been in vain and warm friends, whose hearts hemadoglad, when in adversity, rise up and call him blessed. John Brougham's example is worthy of emulation, and American youths may find in his life much to admire any many lessons to be remembered.

BUTLER rather got the best of Ben llill Yesterday, The Spofford-Kellogg resolu tion was under consideration and HUl said that when ButlW'a case and Spofford's cam# before the Committee of Priv^ ileges and Elections at the swne time, the Democratic members had more difficulty about his case than Spoffords. His title was not so plain, hot the Senate decided in favof of the Legislature that nominated him, and therefore .they acted favorably ia his case.

In further remarks Butler said he was glad to learn that the Senator from Geor* gia wa# a Union man. But there were four years during which we did not hear so much of it. Perhaps the Senator had then thought it prudent to conceal his real opinion. After further remarks, he closed by saying that the orator from Georgia had found fault with him for quoting poetry in Ms former speech: he would venture to quote another bit that might interest him

THE COMFO CONTEHTION.

To-night the Republican party will meet at the several places of holding primaries to select delegates to the County and Congressional ^Conventions the one to be held on nexVgaturday, and the other the 23d day of this month. As we have repeatedly said, the Republican party must Se lect delegates to these conventions who are representative men, "because we will find that to carry the# County, Congressional and Slate tickets, will be no small play. The primary convention needs every sound Republican vote.

The contest this fall is narrowed down to the issue of peace, prosperity and individual happiness on the one hand, and op pression, and perhaps governmental bankruptcy on the other.

We cannot afford to place men upon our ticket who will not carry the full strength of the party and thereby allow those who have always been the foe to Re publican institutions and Republican prosperity, to carry the day. Not only does this apply to the affairs of our coun ty, which is now in such a deplorable condition from Democratic, misrule but will extend to all branches of administration where this party of negation and fraud has been established. Examine the platform of the Indiana Democrats, and4 see the man ner in which its planks arc tongued nnd grooved with state rights doctrine and financial idiocy. The Democratic party has become so accustomed to fraud and public plunder, in the affairs of which has obtained control, that it would be im possible for them to enact an honest administration if they were to get the as cendency.

The rights of the laboring man would be swallowed up in the nefarious scheme of public plunder which would be most assuredly enacted. The laws protecting labor would not be enforced. Especialy is this true of the south. It is the duty of every good Republican to begin the campaign at once, and the proper place to begin is at the primaries to-night.

OENEBAL SHACKELFOED'S DECLINATION.

General Shackelford is now out of the racc for the Governorship of Indiana as will be seen by his card, as follows:

EVANSVILLE, IND., June 10th, 1880. To the Voters of Indiana: Siuce consenting to the use of tny name in connection with the nomination of the Republican party for Governor, my pro fessional and business engagements have prevented me from visiting, as I hoped and intended to do, the different portions of the State in the interest of my candidacy. The nature of these engagements at this time is such as to convince me that if the nomination was tendered me, I ould not accept it aud make the race, without a personal sacrifice which I do not deem it my duty to make. In view of the cordial assurances of support which have come to me from all parts of the State, and which have excited my warmest gratitude, I regret exceedingly the necessity of this decision, but 1 am sure the party can be led to victory by any one of a number of worthy and capable men who can accept the nomination without any sacrifice of their privato in terests. 1 therefore respectfully decline to be further considered as a candidate before the convention.

J. M. SHACKELFORD.

IK the lower House yesterdfty, Williams of Wisconsin, made a speech on the purity of the ballot box which contains it all in full words. He said that the life of the Nation and the hope of the perpetuity was the purity of the ballot-box. The election laws have been enacted when the coantry had been confronted with fraud in the North and force in the South, and when the question had been whether the Government should yield to fraud, and surrender to a mob, or enact some preventative law. The provision that "twin special deputies" should be appointed simply meant that it should not Uc organized and commanders given to each side. It was not for hrm to lecture the House or to counsel it, but in the name of fairness, of justice of that hope which every one professed that this Government

,kof

the people, by the

people, and for the people," should be perpetuated through all coming time. Let it say here in one voice and one will that whatever was necessary and lawful to preserve the purity of the ballotbox and peace at the polls, should be freely granted, regardless of partisan purposes or partisan ends.

THK man who struck the public with newspaper cuts of Garfield and Arthur ought to b« beat nearly to death with a club. They make Garfield look like "Redely" one of the great bank crackers and Arthur looks like "Bull Eddy" a notorius character who infested eur community scveixl years ago.

A Chinese doctor has set up an office in New York. If he uses Chinese remedies Ids collection of drugs, &c., will mak» a veritable curiosity shop. At the Centennial Exhibition a display of these things was mad«. which, not hing understood, attracted very little attention, but it was ren* strange exhibit and well worthy of examination. All the disgusting thing? in tiatore appear to be highly esteemed by the Chinese as indispensable in their materia medica for their supposed medicinal Qualities. Snake skins, dried bugs grouna into powder, and such things formed the bulk of the collection. The horrible ingredients of the witchs" cauldron ia MAcbdth, though credited to the Imagination of Shakspeare. seem to hate been taken bodily from the Chinese pharinacofKvia. The doctors of that nation, however, do not make a charmed mess of everything, like the witches, but use each article separately, and, fortunately for their patients, do not always require their medicines to be taken internally*—Public Lodger.

THIS is what Col Bab Ingersoll says about the birth of the Republican party: When that party was born the having of the bloodhound was the music of the nation. The dome of the capitol at Washington cast its shadow upon the pens in which crouched and shuddered mothers from whose breasts babgg had been torn by wretches who are now howling for honesty and reform. Then if a poor negro bad tilled a farm and watered it with the sweat of honest labor, the courts of the United States did not know to whom it belonged.

And when that question came to be tried, th'e learned judges read all the books and all the platforms of the Dem ocratic party, and pushed their spectacles back on the"ir noble and expansive foreheads, and came to the conclusioh that the democrat owned the corn. At the time the Republican party came into existence slavery was not satisfied with being local, but endeavored to use its in famous leprosy, as it were for pushing it into every territory of the United States.

Recollect the condition of the country at that time. Boats went down the Missouri river loaded with wives torn from

the breasts of their mothers, while the

same men who did this are now shouting

for Democracy. At that time we were a nation of hypocrites. We pretended to be a free Government. It was a lie. We pretended to have a free constitution. It was a lie. We pretended to have justice in our courts. It was a lie. Above all our pretenses, a»d above all our hypocrisies, arose the crime of slavery, like Chimborazo above the clouds. The Republican party came into existence in 1860, when it elected Abraham Lincoln, the greatest man that was ever President of the United States

WHEN Garfield was about 1(] years old he applied on a canal boat for a job aud was hired as driver. Being quick to learn he was soon promoted to bowsman. The Cleveland Leader says:

The first trip saw his first fight and first victory. Ho was holding his "setting pole" against his shoulder. Dave, a good-natured, was standing a short distance away, when the boat, taking a sud den lunge, the pole slipped from the young man's shoulder and Hew with ter rible force towards Dave. A loud call from the young General of "Look out, Dave," was not in time to warn him, and the hand was struck a painful blow on his ribs. He was furiously enraged, and threatening to trash the offender, rushed liked a mad bull with his head down, towards Garfield. The latter took in the situation in an instant, and, stepping aside and awaiting his approach dealt him a fearful blow under the car. This felled him into the hold of the boat. In an instant more Garfield was upon him with Ins clenched fist upraised to strike. "Pound him, d—n him," called out the captain. "I)—d if I interfere. A man who'll git mat! at an accident orto to be thrashed."

But he didn't strike. lie saw his antagonist was helpless. They both arose and shook hands, and ever after were stronger friends than before.

Sea-Sick Animals.

It is a fact perpaps not widely known that most of the wild animals procured for the menageries and zoological gardens of Europe and America are brought from Africa by a Gorman New Yorker named Reichie, who lias an aquarium in that city. It is another curious fact that these animals should come from Africa mainly through North Germany. It seems thev are collected in Africa (mainly cubs) and brought to Trieste, nnd thence to North Germany, and from there are distributed to the countries where thev are needed. It thus happens that the North German steamers frequently carry these animals to the United States, and it. is interesting to hear about their habits on ship board. The lions, tigers, and hyenas are greut cowards in a storm. They also suffer .i great deal from sea-sickness, and whino about it. The elephant has little to say when he is sea-sick, but he sways his creat head from side to side, and looks ''unutterable things." It has been described by a famous writer (Charles Reade) how the sagacious elephant in storms at sea saves himself from being washed off the deck by throwing himself flat upon his belly, with all four legs and his trunk spread out with suction power upon the planks. Captain Nevnaber being interrogated upon this point remarks, that it will not do to believe all we see in print. He says that no shipmaster would undertake to carry a loose elephant on deck. A loose elephant tumbling about in a gale would be a more daugerous object than the loose gun told of uy-Victor Hugo. The elephant and all other wild animals transported by steamer are confined in the strongest kind of boxes, and the boxes themselves are secured in the firmest manner. The horse, it appears, is the most nervous and sensitive animal that goes to sea, and a hen shows the most utter disgust with life when sea-sick, by vomiting and eccentric movements.

How to Tame a Woman. A few days aeo, says the Detroit Free Press, a man whose very look proved how hungry and penniless he was, halted before an eating-stand at the Central Market to let his mouth water awhile. The woman knew his worth, and called out: "Come, be logging along. You won't get any food here unless you have the cash." "My dear woman," be confidently hunafter •as not looking at your beautiftil meats, your lovely cakes or your rich and juicy pies, but at yourself. •"What you looking at me for?" "I was wondering? he said, "If vou were any relation to Lady Clare, of England.

YOQ

have the same brown eyes,

same beautiful hair—same sweet accent." "I never knew her,1* replied the woman, as her face began to clear up. "Didn't eli? Well, I never met two faces alike in their sweet expression. I wish I had your portrait painted on ivory—I really ish I had."

She handed him h'aUT a pie and a piece of meat, and aa he sauntered off she began hunting around for apiece of broken mirror.

The trustees of the M. E. Church of Northport, Suffolk county, N. Y., recentIv locked their doors against Rev. Mr ftayden, who had been announced to deliver his lecture on circumstantial evidence in that place.
