It was thought to be a big thing in ancient times when Ajax threw off his ulster and defied the lightning, but now almost anv man raises thunder if bis dinner is cold, and the poets never say a word about it. ! A Chicago poet slags : " Wha wadsa be a poet!" If that style of spelling is allowable, the. country is full of them.

"Why does lightning so rarely strike twice in the same place?" Prof. Wortman asked the, new boy in the class in natural philosophy. Huh," said tho new boy, "it never needs to." And it is a little singular that nobody had thought of that reason before. Some recently discovered inscriptions on burned bricks bring to light tho astonishing revelation that lung Ahasuerus hanged Haman because ho invented the accordoon and put the price down to one dollar and seventyfive cents, so that every young man might havo one. We have just thought of a plan for paying oil the national debt in six weeks. Let the Government levy a light tax, not to exceed three mills on the dollar, on all the poetry written in tho United States, and let every poet narao the value of his own poetry.

Kestered Ifeses. Sir Leonord Fioravanti, of Bologna, states that when in Africa he saw a quarrel between a Spanish gentleman and a military officer, in which the latter struck off the noso of the former, and it fell in the sand. The surgeon washed it in warm water, carefully replaced it, bound it up, and at the end of eight days found it perfectly Healed. Taliacotus records a similar case, in which a man j losing his nose, left it in tho gutter while he pursued his opponent. On his return the nose was applied, and adhnqtnn fnllnwod. Dr. l3arthelemv re cords the case of an officer at Lyons, in iftitf vrhn hat Mifi nnd nf hi nns out ! 1815, who hart the cmt oi his noso cut, offin a duel. Ho put the severed portion in his pocket, kept it warm, returned home and sent for a surgeon, who replaced it, and adhesion followed. Dr. Reynault gives a case in which a nose adhered after it had been bitten off and kept in the owner's pocket for five hours. Garengedt, a celebrated French surgeon, asserts that he has seen a nose, which had been bitten off in a quarrel, thrown unon (he rround. allowed to mnl. talran nn. fixad tn the face and madeio adhere again: ahd he records in his third volume that H. uaiin pro duced a similar union when a large por tion of a nose had been bitten off and spit out in a dirty gutter. The soldier who had lost it pursued his adversary, and the nose was replaced on his return. On the fourth day the union was complete. Blegny, Lombard, Loubet and others record similar cures where noses have been lost by saber cuts. BosIohj Courier. Hurled Alive hy Indians.

But for your honorable oour8 In the polities of the country, the burdensome evlw of State we all now deplore would b alarmlsgly aggravated. These evils are the results of the al-ad-minlstratlon of the party ia power, aBd have had the effect of paralyzing all branehee of Industry, annihilating our eoaimeree gad debauohlBg public oonsclaaoe hy oonfouading all distinction between right and wrong. Behold the list: frauds la the Army, fraud in the Navy; frauds In the Interior Department; frauds In the Treasury; revenue frauds; whisky frauds; Indian frauds; custom-house frauds; civil serviee frauds; frauds in the architect's office; frauds ia the Attorney-General's office; post-tradcr-ship frauds, the disgraceful array culminating la thef gigantic fraud of frauds the Electoral fraud of 1876, which. In the Judgment of the world Is a high-handed outragea revolutionary attack upon constitutional rights, which will become a mischievous and fatal precedent unless rebuked by the people ia the coming election. Our Government is one of the people, for the people, and by the people, and yet in the last Presidential election the candidate in whose favor the popular will was expressed by a majority of 800,000 was counted out and the one not ulected was Inaugurated. By characteristic cunning the Republicans have sought to make the financial question the main Issue. This Is an attempt to draw public attention from their shameful record of thievery aud corrupt bargaining. But the people understand this and will not be deceived. In this campaign they purpose putting the Kepublican party on trial tinder an indictment for Jts shameful abuse of power and wretched management of national aaalrs. , For the past seventeen years the Democratic party has not been In power, and, consequently, its great principles of governmont hvn not. lieen atjslied to the legisla tion of the country. Hence the grave evils the country Is laboring under. But the Democracy can In no way be responsible for these evils. Consistently and persistently the Democrats have opposed at every step the entire Republican policy In matters of finance, and especially the policy of contraction, which has contracted" the property of the country, real and personal, nearly out of existence. Every measure of relief proposed In the last five years has come from the Democratfc side in Congress, and It Is the conviction of all fair-minded men that, regarding the condition of the country as we find It to-day, full, ample, general, complete and permanent relief can come only through the triumph, of Democratic principles. In view of the present situation of the country we call upon you to assert your independence and determine to make In the present campaign an heroic effort in the cause or sounu Democracy ami uuhwi booihraent. Condemn at the ballot-box the frauds that liave been perpetrated and rebuke the perpetrators. Itemembcr that Koine fell when the voice of her people was smothered by obloaaery and corruption. Itemember that by the same causes the fate of one great Republic may overtake another. Keraemher that the brightest and most prosperous days of this Republic were when it was under Demofcratlo rule. Remember that the evils and burdens we now labor under are chargeable to the Republican party, and that however numerous and burdensome they maybe the combined statesmanship and patriotism of the Democratic par- .' are sufficient to remedy them. iifitimcrata of Michigan, we have the National House of R1BVSC have the Senate.

This we can accomplish by united and harmonious action. Be prompted by honest motives, be guided by the signs ef the times.

AtldrtMHi ef the Itamorratlfi fHnte Committee ef SohiIi Carolina. To the People of South Carolina: Throughout canvass the Democracy of South Carolina will have but one rule ot conduct. The platform of 187t5, adopted and reartirmed In 1878, Is the supreme law of the Democratic party. Bv It the highest and lowest are hnnnil. No nerson. or body of persons, oth er than a State Convention, can change or modify Its wife provisions and patriotic ue 1 tlaratfons. Within the line of the platform e I emocracy are saie urn. . - of,,i, V;Vaii,,. vn lu not made In the slstent with It can be ignoreu The platform of the Democratic party of South Carolina Is at once a history and a prophecy. It Is the record of what is past, and the asouraaeeof what Is tooome. In It are declared Democratic principles and Democratic practice. The Issue In South Carolina, as mado'by the Democratic party, Is . ' J "on th TcentrarV TJbi leCIS Ot 1MB democracy, in ICHiiifi con trol of the State, are to complete the reform of abuses, to punish public criminals, to maintain the purity aad ability of the Government in all Its' branches, tolower the rate of taxation and lessen the burden imposed upon the people, to insure peace and concord, and, including nil else, to give equal and complete protection to every publtcand private right of person and property. In order that the Government, In the hands of the Democratic party, snail u the government of no one section, of no oue race, of no one elass, but of the whole people of South Carolina, without limitation or restriction.

Maleoateats, laggards, disorgsulzers shall, not pull down the Democratic party, although they may metfply its di faculties ajul make the struiwle hasder and more desperate; and, when tho battle Is wen, as it shall he, the Demooratto party, for its own sake, will pass soateaee upon any who, not being with us are against us, and make them for all time politieal eat easts, despised by Democrat of their own race and shunned by the colored Dentoerats who have been tried and have kept the faith. For the white Democrats the State Committee are sure no other exhortation Is needed. They know full well that Deseeeratic rule Is worth having, and that what Is worth having is worth keeping, and will ho kept. By the colored Democrats, m tho State Committee believe, the solid advantages of an enlightened and honest government are thoroughly appreciated. They have seen and felt the difference between integrity and rascality, between lofty Justiee and partisan rule. The hope is that the colored people, Jh larger number than ever before, will march beneath the folds of the Democratic banner, and so assist the Desaooraey in perpetuating the work of geverasaonUI reform and industrial restoration. The reign of ignorance aad vlee In Senth Carolina is past and gone. Virtue, latelligenee and elevated statesmanship shall, as during the last two years, eoatrelihe puWie affairs of South Carolina. For this the people fought la 1876, aad the seepter the grasped for the first time in eight years by pure and strong hands will not belaid dewn and shall not be wrested away. The Great Brnle Cenntry. The Chicago correspondent of the Troy Times writes : If you will take a Government surveyor's map and trace the boundary line between the States of Michigan and Wisconsin at the extreme northerly part of those States, you will see Boot Lake, which is near the source of the Brnle River, and located m. what is known as the trackless forests of the great Brule country This morning a, party of ladies and gentlemen, mostly from this city, will leave here for that wild country for a month's recreation. It is said to be one of the most inaccessible portions of country ia the enter of our Continent, and that the face of a white woman has never been seen there. To show the spirit of adventure whieh animates the ladies of the party, it should, be known that after proceeding by regular rail to Menominee, thence by s mining railroad to Bad Water, from that point the entire party will be compelled to walk twelve miles through the dense forests before they strike the Brnle Riv

er. Here they will oe tasen in cnarge by Indians who are engaged as voyageurs, guides, etc., and m canoes will proceed up the river some two hundred miles.' The forests along the route are mostly composed of pine, very thickly studded, and a great fire having at some time swept through the district eoverinjg hundreds of square miles, the ground m so strewn with fallen trees and entangled debris that it is almost impossible to get a beast of burden through, aad much of the way even an Indian finds it difficult to proceed on loot, a more aesoiate country it would be hard to find. But a long way up the Brule the country onene and becomes mere tenable, and it is here the sportsman finds his paradise. Thou sands ana tnousanas oi ueer hock upon, the hills, so unused te danger that they become easy prey to the noe ot tne Must er. Mynaos oi trout, qass ami swwm inhabit the streams and small lakes, while wolves, bears, foxes, and lynx abound, some of them approaching at times even to the teat opening of the ad venturous explorer. The experience of the ladies will no a out oe exomng, and afford romance enough for many a coming winter evening." Criminal UtathHks. F. B. Sanborn has been oolleetieg facts regarding crime and criminals ia the United States. The number of convicts is now twice as great as in 1871, the relative figures being 31,000 aad 16,000. The greatest increase is ia Georgia, Tennessee, aad several Western States. The number of persons ia prisons as convicts, or awaiting trial, is 60,000, of whom less than one-sixth are women. About 10,000 of the whole number are in this State, and 4,200 ia Massachusetts, where the proportion of prisoners to population Is greater than in any other part of the country. Ia the South the higher prisons are generally made self-supporting by the labor of the convicts, who are leased to contractors, who may employ them anywhere in the State. In Arkansas the contractor pays nothing, but meets all expenses. In Tennessee. Georgia, and Mississippi stated sums in money, besides expenses, are paid hy the contractors. Mr. Sanborn figures as follows : " The general result of the labor of convicts in the State-prisons of 37 States (for Delaware has no central nrison falls 1.250.000 short of the earnings requisite to support the. 29,000 convicts in those prisons jast year. That sum. divided among an average of 29,1 WW OlXlC pneOIiers, E, oo an cost of something more than $43 a year for each convlot. If we add in the sum paid for the support of shert-?entenoed prisoners in jails, the total cost of the uO.OOO persons in prison throughout the year lb77 would probably exceed $6,000,000, or somethlag more than 60 a year for each prisoner.' waj ler Shh' . , Ilice i'twWi'H.
