It will be a source of general regret that the Hon. Thomas A. Jcnckes, author of the C'ivil .Service bill, has failed to obtain a re-nomination in the First Khodc Island District, from which he has been four times elected.

Tji Presbyterian Synod of New .Jersey calls for renewed and united action of all Christians in thc'e.Tort to secure an additional amendment to the Constitution of tlie United States, in which (he divine interposition of Providence might be suitably recorded.

JIo'tAi Gkkkj.ky's long card Tribune of the20th conclude-: thus: low Citizens! during my forty years'acquaintance with the politics of our Siiue, you have had greater as well as smaller men than Stewart L. Woodford presented to you as candidates for Governor but a t:'uer, nice uptight man, you have not hid. I entreat yott to give him an active, efficient support.

•Fel-

Tiik Democratic press of New York is making the piesent canvass in that State a personal one upon General Woodford, the ^Republican candidate. Although all the charges thus far brought against that tine gentleman and gallant soldier are old and exploded ones, these partisan sheets continue to citera!e them. When a great party has to resort to personal defamation as a means of success it must ho ieduced indeed.

It has just been decided in a XT_W York court that the purchase of a reserved scat or seats to a public entertainment, vests the ownership of the places secured absolutely in the purchaser that they are his or hers for the time specified, and that no other person has the right to occupy them even by direction of the managers of the performances, and that the seats sold previous to the entertainment must remain vacant if the purchasers so elect.

A \\'i:i.i,-ixroKjn coteruporarv says that the health ot Chief Justice Chase was never in so bad a condition assome of his political enemies have represented. It was the desire of :\lr. C'iias-e to preside at the special term of the Supreme Court which commences on the SyJi inst. but, while he felt himsclf(juite able to resume iiis place upon the bench again, he has yielded to the advice of his physicians, who wish that he may have a longer term of rest in order to fully recuperate his physical strength. The mental vigor of the Chief Justice was never greater than at present.

liiicXew lork Tribune remarks that abundant reason has been furnished by the experience of one day for the Democratic disgust with the law of Congress relating to elections. Members of the Tammany General Committee and State Prison birds, getting entangled in its meshes by venturing upon their usual practices, have equally found it impossible to get out scatheless as they used to under the State law enforced by Tammany magistrates. The fact that repeaters have been held for trial is a great public gain, and the certainty that they will be tried and dealt with according to the evidence is the greatest good that could be conferred upon the community.

AYr: II AYE sometimes doubted whether campaign speeches, as a general rule, had much effect in changing the minds of voters. 'lherc is one instance on lccord, however, of at least one vote "gained" in this way by Mr. Shellabarger. The Xenia (.taziilc says: ".Mr. She!labarger's declaration that 'he would vote to repeal any law that put more money into the pockets of protected classes than into the National treasury tjained him the support of Judge 117/ian.s'/ and it did more, it secured him nearly nineteen hundred majority in the county of Greene/' We accept this testimony in regard to Judge Winans, for it is specific and authoritative. As to any of the remainder of the "nineteen hundred," we may bo permitted to doubt.

"Wi William Sliakspeare welcomed John Milton to the Olympian Heights to sit down among the gods at ambrosial feasts, did be introduce the blind Immortal as Jack Milton? AVe doubt if Avon's bard would have taken that liberty, even though lie knew his fame would travel down all the ages alongside of the newcomers. I'ut the Philadelphia Inquirer fancies that the Immortals have their moments of familiar ease, such for instance as that evinced by Miss Anna E. Dickinson during her lecture on Monday evening last, when she constantly and repeatedly designated that sublime and historical figure, Joan of Arc, as Jenny. The kittenish vivacity of this familiarity shown by the living heroine of the stump," toward the savior of France, must have been very engaging to Miss Dickin-on's brilliantly intellectual audi-

An I'muTounlablc Misapprehension.

1U- some unaccountable nusapprcnension of facts there is a lar^e class of people in the world who think that it costs little or nothing to run a newspaper, and if they buy a copy from the newsboy, when too far from the office to come and beg one, they are regular patrons and entitled to unlimited favors. Men call every day to newspaper offices to get a copy af the daily paper, just from press for nothing, who would never dream of begging a pocket handkerchief from a dry goods store, an apple from a fruit stand, or a piece of candy from a confectioner, even upon the plea of old acquaintance. having bought someing once before (hie paper isnot much, but a hundred a day amounts to someting in the course of time- But this is a small drain compared with the free edvertising a newspaper is expected to do. Some men who have paid two dollars at early period of life tor an advertisement worth four or iive, appear to think that they are stockholders in the establishment for eternity. They demand the publication of all marriage and funeral notices, obituaries and family episodes, for the next forty years gratis. Speak of pay and they grow indignant.

"Don't 1 patronize your paper?" Yen but Viiii receive ilif vvoith nf yonr money for \vlia! vol paid." "Jiuii" sav.s the

Any mention of the people's a flairs that they are anxious to see in prirt is worth paying for, and when printed is generally as valuable as any other investment of the same amount. The newspaper business is very exacting on all connected with it, and the pay is comparatively small the proprietors risk more money for smaller profits, £nd the editors and reporters and printers work harder and cheaper than same number of men in any other professiom requiring the given amount of intelligence and training and drudgery. The life has its charms and its pleasant associations, scarcely known by the outside world but it has its earnest work and anxieties and hours of exhaustion, which, likewise, are not known to those who think the business all fun. The idea that newspaperdom is a charmed circle, where the favored members iive a life of case and are free from care, and go to the circus at night on a free ticket, and to the springs ou a free pass in the summer, is an idea which wede.-ire to explode practically and theoretically. Business is business, and the journal that succeeds is the one that is ri'n on a square business footing, the same as banking or building bridges, keeping a hotel or running a livery stable.

"CALL*A MAX."

Any one who is disposed to try a laugh will do well to read on. John Jackson was a very industrious, hard-working man, of twenty-three years. Being the eldest child, and the only son, he had always remained at home, assisting his father upon the farm. John was much respected by every one in the neighborhood, and many a bright-eved girl had secretly thought she would like to change her name to Mrs. John Jackson. Hut John was no "ladies' man The fact was, John was very bashful. He would rather hoe potatoes all day than undergo the ceremony of an introduction to a young lady. Not that John disliked the dear creatures—far from it. We believe that he in common with all bashful, well-meaning men, entertained the very highest respect and admiration for them. And this, no doubt, was the principal cause of his bashfulness. He fell that they were superior beings, and that he was unworthy to associate with them upon terms of equality. But we cannot stop to moralize.

Nancy Clark was the daughter of a respectable farmer, whose lands adjoined the Jackson farm. Nancy was a pretty, saucy wench, and she liked John Jackson. When they were children they attended the same school, and as lie was a few years her senior was usually her champion in the childish disputes that arose, and her companion in going and returning. At last John became so much of a young man as to be kept from school, as she had been in past years. John discovered, too, that lie had been growing in stature, and it seemed as if he had been growing out of shape. His feet and legs appeared very awkward he didn't know what to do with his hands his face pained him, and, taken all in all, he was inclined to think he was not more than half put together.

Now the truth was John Jackson was really a line-looking young man, and nothing but his admiration of Nancy could have suggested any sucli'foolisli thoughts about himself.

As the novelists say, it was a lovely day in August. The heavens were clear, serene and beautiful the trees were laden with golden fruit, and the beautiful birds twittered their sons of love in the branches. Earth-—(there we've slid down to earth once more such lofty flights, they make our head dizzy). We were about to say that the "earth had yielded her bountiful harvest of a year's grass, and clover, and honeysuckles, which the noble yeomanry of Chesterville had garnered within their storebouses"—but upon second thought, have concluded to word it thus:—"The farmers of Chesterville were done haying."

John Jackson's sister had a quilting that afternoon. Iiis father had gone to "Keith's Mill" to get some wheat ground, and John was left to repair some tools to be ready on the morrow to commence mowing the meadow grass. Suddenly it occurred to John that if he remained about the house in the afternoon, he would be called in at tea time and required to do the honors ofthe table. To avoid this he quietly shouldered his scythe and stole away to the meadow, half a. mile distant, fully resolved that he would not leave there until it was so dark that lie could not see to mow, and thus avoid seeing the girls.

The meadow was surrounded on all sides by a thick forest, which eflcctually shut out what little breeze there might be stirring. The sun poured its rays although the little meadow was the focus point where the heat was concentrated.— John mowed and sweat—sweat and mowed, until he was obliged to sit down and cool oil'. Then it occurred to-John that if he took oil' his pants he might be more comfortable. There could be no impropriety in it, for he was entirely concealed from observation, and there was not the slightest reason to suppose that lie could be seen by any person.

So John stripped off, and with no cover save his linen—commonly called a shirt—he resumed his work He was just congratulating himself upon the good time he had haying, and the lucky escape he had made from meeting the girls.

This was too much for human endurance. With a yell, such as a man never utters save when in mortal terror, poor

ITiji active excrci^en. fhe paid partial' lar nllenlion to hrunningi, together with excessive heat, had brought on the

tron, ft wiil not c-o.-i yon imything to put nose bleed, and as he ran, ears erect and

as to head thrown liacK, his chin, throat and rind-! shirt-bosom were stained with the flowing stream.

His first wild shriek had startled the quilters, and forth they rushed, wondering if some mad Indian was not prowling about. By this time John was within a few rods of the barn, still running at the top of his speed, his head turned so that he could keep one eye on the snake, and with the other observe what course he must take. The friendly barn concealed him from the sight of the girls. He knew they were in the yard, having caught a glimpse of them as they rushed from the house. A few more bounds and he would be in their midst. For a moment modesty overcame fear, and he once more halted. The snake, evidently pleased with his rapid transportation, manifested his gratitude by attempting to enfold the legs of our hero within his embrace.

With an explosive "ouch.''' and urged forward by "circumstances over which he had no control," poor John bounded on. The next moment he was in full view of the girls, and as he turned the corner of the bain, the snake came round with a whiz something after the fashion of a coach whip.

Having reached the barn yard, to his dismay he found the bars up but time was too precious to be wasted in letting down bars. Gathering all his strength, lie bounded into the air—snake ditto— and as he alighted on the other side, his snakesliip's tail crackcd across the upper bar, snapping like an India cracker.

Again John set forward, now utterly regardless of the presence of the girls, for the extra tick of the snake's tail as he leaped the bais, banished all his bash fulness and modesty, and again he had the pleasure of finding the snake in a straight line, drawing steadily at the hem of his solitary garment.

The house now became the center of attraction, and around it he revolved with the speed of thought. Four times in each revolution as he turned the corner, his snakeship camc around with & whiz which was quite refreshing.

While describing the third circle,as he came near the group of wonder-struck girls, without removing his gaze from the snake, he managed to cry out: "cai.i, a man!"

The next moment he whisked out of sight, and, as quick as thought, reappeared on the other side of the house— "call a man!"

And away he whirled again, turning the corner so rapidly that the whiz of the snake sounded half-way between a whistle and the repeated pronunciation of a double-c.

Eefore either of the girls had stirred from their tracks, he had performed another revolution— "call A man!"

Away he (lew, but his strength, was rapidly failing. Nancy Clark was the first to recover her presence of mind, and seizing a hoop-pole, she took her station near the corner of the house, and as John reappeared, she brought it down upon the snake with a force that broke his back and his hold "upon John's nether garment at the same time.

John rushed into the house and to his room, and at tea time appeared in his best Sunday suit but little the worse for the race, and to all appearance cured of bashfulness. That night he walked home with Nancy Clark. The New Year they were married, and now, when John feels inclined to laugh at his wife's hoop, or any other peculiarity, she has only to say, "Call a man," when lie instantly sobers down.

THE SEASON.

The Weather, Fruits and Health of the Past Season.

From the New York Evening Post.] There ii an old saying that after a drought the ground will not be frozen till the wells are full. If this is true, the frosts should hold off late this year in the Eastern States, for it requires a good deal more rain than has vet fallen to Saturate the earth.

The past season—speaking after the manner of the farmers, and not in the sense of the musical and dramatic critics —has been a very remarkable one in this part of the country. Xot only was the temperature extraordinarily high during July and August, but the drought was of almost unprecedented severity. In parts of Connecticut and Rhode Island, and in a great part of Eastern New York and New Jersey, the field crops have suffered from the lack of rain the roads during August and September were mere dust heaps cattle found little pasturage in some places the farmers cut up their Indian corn without waiting for it to ripen and all over the region we arc speaking of, wells and streams have dried up, and are not yet nearly full.

It is singular that the extremely dry and hot summer, while it was intensely disagreeable, was not unhealthful. If we except a greater prevalence than usual of malarious fevers, due to the drying up of swamps and streams, the summer and fall of 1S70 have been exceptionally healthful in this part of the country. The heat has brought upon us no terrible epidemic and even among little children, who arc usually the greatest sufferers from excessive heat, there has been, v. believe, less than the usual mortality.

This escape from disease may be due, in part, to the unusual frequency of thunder storms. We have had, here in the East, more violent thunder and lightning than we remember for many a year.— More people have been struck down by lightning in the past four months than in any previous summer for half a dozen

when"he"chanced"to disturb a huge black years' at least. These violent electrical discharges did not, as they often do, cool the air but it is probable that they agitated and purified it.

with a white

snake, a genuine twisie ring around his neck. John was no coward, but he was mortally afraid of a snake. ".Self-preservation" was the lirst ''passage7' that Hashed upon John's luiiul, and '"legs take care of the body'' was the nest. Droping his scythe, and spinning round like a top, he was ready to strike a 2:40 gait, when a.t that moment the snake Was near enough to hook his crooked teeth into John's shirt, just above the hem. With a tremendous spring, he started offwith the speed of a locomotive. His lirst jump took the snake clear from the ground, and as John stole a hasty glance over his shoulders, he was horrified to find the reptile securely fastened to the extremity of his garment while the speed with which lie. rushed forward kept the scrpant extended at an angle of ninety degrees with his body. llere was a quandary. If he stopped the snake would coil about his body and squeeze hiin to death if he continued the race he'd soon fall, from sheer exhaustion. On he flew, scarce daring lo think how his dreadful rcce would end. Instinctively he had taken the direction of home, wlien a failing of security came over him. .Suddenly flashed across his mind the true state of affairs—his father gone—the quilting—and worst of all, the qirh! This new horror sent the blood back curdling about his neck, and he came to a dead halt. The next moment lie felt the body of the cold, clammy monster in contact with his bare legs, his tail creeping around them in a sort of oozing way, as though his snakeship only meditated a little fun, by way of tickling John upon the knees.

It has been a great fruit year and this seems to point out that what our climate lacks to bring fruits to the greatest perfection is heat and dryness. California, which begins already to send us the most luscious grape and monstrous pears, has dry summers—no rain for several months and with this annual drought great heat. Here, these two phenomena have brought up this year peaches, pears and grapes in such abundance that the poorest could enjoy them without stint. Grapes have been sold for five cents per pound pears of the liner kinds were at one time to be bought for from three to live dollars per barrel and as for peaches, the markets, the shops, the street corners, and nodoubt the dwellings, were full of them during the season.

The lovers of fruit, who watch and know the season of each, had this year to revise their reckoning, for all kinds of fruit came into market from two to four weeks earlier than is usual here. The heat and drought hastened this harvest, and no doubt shortened the season in every place except in Fulton and Washington markets, where, as has often been remarked, no kind of weather aS'ects the

crops. The general prevalence of fever and ague and other malarious diseases this fall, and their appearance in many places which have hitherto been exempt from these ills, have been disagreeable incidents of the autumn but otherwise this season has been one of the most charming imaginable and at this time the woods are more superbly and variously tinted than for several years past. New Yorkers who pass July and August in the country, and

John again set forward at break-neck I return to the City in September, mis# the pace, and once more had the pleasure of crowning glory of the countryman year, seeing the snake resume his horizontal wlio finds in October and November a position, scmewhat after the fashion of a

The hickories, chestnuts arid butternuts, which were so laden last October, have borne but a scant crop for the squirrels this year those animals which lay up a winter store find, however, a great abundance of acorns, which, in many of our forests, cover the ground in a manner which makes a Western man, accustomed to turn his hoes out to fatten on the mast, sigh at what seems to him a great was'e of good food.

The Moon Dead.

The German astronomers and physicians have, afier prolonged observation, arrived at the conclusion that the moon is a dead planet that is, it has "cooled off," and is now without heat, water or atmosphere, and consequently without life of any kind. The earth is undergoing the same process, according to these learned philosophers, and will eventually be without life or light. But v.e who now live may take no fears to heat on that account, as the earth can csol ofT, say the geologists, only at the rate of fifteen degrees in 0,000,000 years.
