OJCZ Mr. Job Dupenborry stepped on mn tlie train bonml for Boston, one morning, feeling a kiuJ of queer sensation at the pit of bis stomach. lie concValeCl, at the time be first became aware of it, bat it -was occasioned by eating too hearty a breakfast in too sbort a timt Later, lie came to a different conclusion about it. He uas gcicg " down to Boston " to visit his brother Joseph, and staf "till after the Fourth." The car was pretty full, but be succeeded in finding an unoccupied seat at last, and eat down to look about him. lie had hardly begun to look, bowever, when another traveler entered the ear ia search of a seat. She was an old maid, Job knew, the moment lie saw her. There are certain feigns which can never be mistaken iu the class of single damsels to which she belonged, that class being the primely-perpendicular one, nearly dl angles and very little curves, and Job bad seen too many of them to le mistaken. Ha couldn't say that he liked old maids, and yet, being an old bachelor, ha felt a sympathy for their single condition wbicb made bia keart tender toward them. She looked sharply about ber in search of a fat. As it happened, Job's was the only one in which there were not tr.o. "Fd like the piivilege of settin' with you," said she, fixing her eagle "eye on Job's, ia a way that seemed to dare bim to refuse. "Shall bo delighted to bava you," answered Job with alacrity, jumping up that she might have the "place next to window. "A beautiful day, ma'sni", . "Lovely," answered bis companion, 10 a V0IC0 that seemed to come from Jown cvilar, as she proceeded to arrsge her baskets and bundles about her feet. EiXj a ijVC.; a.-y.

you, for I ain't much used to' trav'lin., an I like to hev some one I can look to fer perfection, if 'it's needed." ,' r ' ' Job mentally concluded that eife "was more capable of protecting herself' than he was of protecting Ler. But he- said be f hould bo happy to do what be could for ber, ' " " : "Air jci any ' relation to the Dnsenberry fam'ly livia nigh Putney?" asked Hiss Stebbins. ",Xo, I don't think I be," answered Job; "never beard I had any relation there." "Mr. Dusenberry's deacon" in the Ba-btist cburcb, an real.r'ce m. T alias thought, ' r: .cat ou Zliha StEbbica. " Seems to me he favors you in complexion Eome. He's a sniart-lookm' man, an I should ha said yoa was a connexion. Air you goin' to Boston?" " I be," answered Job ; " thought I'd go down an stay till after the Fourth." " So be I," answered Jliss Stebbins. '" I've got some tradin' to do, an' it pays to do it -where you can look, about an' choose. Solomon .Green keeps, store up to Putney, an' be does charge the most onaccountable prices ; now this alpacy bow much should yon s'pose I'd ought to have give a yard for it, Mx.. Dnsenberry ?" " Job frankly acknowledged bis 'ignorance of such m altera. - - ""Wall, six," eaid Miss' Stebbins,. in a tone wMph seemed" to 'imply that she didn't suppose he'd believe her, but it was true aa gospel, nevertheless ; "wall, sir, be charged me forty-two cents an' a ba'f a yard, an I couldn't get it a cent less. He asked forty-five, but I beat him down t fro cents an' a-ha'f, an' Miss Priogle she's the minister's wife she got one jest like it to Albany for .thirtyseven cents ! If that ain't outrageous, I'd like to know what is !" "It's scand'lous, ma'am," said Job, who began to admire ber evident business tact; "simply scand'lous, ma'am !" "You're right, " said Miss Stebbins, "an' I told Almiry, bein's I'd never been to Boston, I was goin' down, an' I'd see if Solomon Greed'd got rich out o' cheathr me." But now Job was in love with her that is, he felt that she would make him a good housekeeper, which stood for the same thing in bis mind as wife, and be wondered if he couldn't manage to secure her. He'd been wanting a wife for twenty years. He had had chances,, but,' like the foolish man he was, he bad let them all slip. Now be considered that the curious feeling be bad experienced that morning was a presentiment of he didn't exactly know what, but it evidently bad something to do with Miss Stebbins. He got out at a small station and bought some fried chicken and apple pie, and brought them in as a votive offering, sentimentally speaking, to the lady of his bosom's affection. She accepted them with a smile that made him happy for a week after, every time be remembered. Once be dreamed about that smile, and thought it sunrise, and got tip and dressed himself before be fairly waked up. When be did come to bis senses be found it was half-past 1, and went back to bed wondering if all men feel as he did when they're in love. The train started, and, just i.s Miss Stebbins was trying to swallow a small chicken-bone, and making . a very wry face ' over it, the cars gave an , awful leap, and then none of them knew vo?y much about what happened for the next few minutes. When J ob came to himself he was sitting in a shallow puddle of water, and the first thought which came to him was that he had turned into a big bull-frog. But, looking about bim, in a bewildered way, for a s elation of the mystery, he saw Miss Stebbins sitting on a floating portion of a wrecked cax farther cut in the pond, dripping like Undine, if not as agreeable ' to look at. "Be you hurt., Mr. Dusenberry ?" she asked, as she discovered him. " No, I don't think I be," answered Job, " Usui a smash up, hain't we ?"" "Seems so," answered Miss Stebbins. "I guess there hain't nobody killed, an that's lucky. I'm glad you ain't hurt, I wa-a afeard you was." Her solleitade touched Job's heart as Eoihing else ever had, Yoti ain't d.imcged any, be yoa?" be asked, anxious " 2ol any to ai of, ansTrerea but rpi. my do es 13 jest ere s my toumul f ilia at cii ovtr ii it f-r r: -" Job b'. k.

Job thought admiringly. I" She'd take care of a man, now." '" She gathered the ruined " alpacy" about ber, stepped off the extemporix! raft, and waded ashore without screamix g snakes f or anything of the kind.. Job concluded that she was one woman in a hundred. . So she was. . , , ; " You're all 'mud an scum," said she, after inspecting Job closely. " III git a stick an' some grass an' kinder clean you up." And for the next ten minutes Job experienced new and novel bliss in being "cleaned up" by this energetic woman, who had now obtained complete possession of bis. heart. .," She's a man ager," concluded Job 'IPMie had charge of my place, now, she'd make things fetch in suthin'. I wish she bad." The conductor ' announced that it would be two or three hours before they could proceed. - " Don't you feel as ef you'd like suthin to eat ?" asked Job. " I guess you didn't finish that chicken."" "I would like something" answered Miss Stebbins, and Job proposed that they should visit a farmhouse near by and procure some. - " I'll set out here on this stone in the sun, an' dry myself, till it's ready," said Miss Stebbins, and took a position on a rock by the roadside. Job sat down by ber. ' "Fm thankful we ain't killed,", said she, ' " How lucky I . got .acquainted with you, nin't it? - Friends is always so pleasant in sick times.'? Theiglance which accompanied ' this ' sentiment finished Job. , "Oh Miss Stebbins, le'me be' vour friend for lifed" cried he, with-an awful pallor on his face, this 'effort he made in Baying it was so intense. ," I know it's sudden, but then !'M-and there he stuck fast. . ..:' "' . '-' ' ,'".'.".'"' "Do you '.mean marriage ?" asked Miss Stebbins, 'with such a" warmth at heart that her clothes dried rapidly from the diffused beat. , ., . ..." ' .. " Yes, I do," answered Job j "I do." " I don't know what John an' ' Alrniry'd say, but I hain't no objections, to speak on," answered Miss Stebbins, with downcast eyes, and beaming face. - ' Then it's a bargain!" exclaimed Job, " Glory I This is better'n the Fourth! I'm goin to Mes you, ..Miss StabbinsJ" , " You. may if you Ffnt to, an' call me fcusan, she said, - The boy who was looking out of the window reported to his mother, busy over the dinner, that the man was kissin' the woman, an' he should think he'd be 'shamed of himself. .... . .. But Job never thought of such a thing! Wasn't he engaged to be married? 'And didn't a man always kiss a woman when she'd promised to marry him ? . I can't say what wonderful bargains Miss Stebbins made in the, dry-goods line, but she went home with a man, and has been happy ever; since, .So has Job. -.------.' i - Shiocton, Wis. SAT XtOWJ ojy IIIS SIRE. A little fellow one afternoon ,-was vreparing liiss fishing 1 tackle'io ;gia JuMkuig next day, and his father said : "Johnny, what are you . going to do?" " I am going fishing to-morrow," said the boy. "No you are not. You are going to Sunday-school. Besides, the fish won't bite on Sunday." " Oh, I know they will. Didn't I try it last Sun no I didn't, either." " So, you little rascal, you have been fishing on Sunday, have you ?" said his f atlier, and he eut him a switch and gave the boy a sound whipping. - ,. rwixeu" lie got... tkrougb.-' tlie boy'saia, through his sobs, " I-I-am-go-going-to-tell-about you-you kissing th-the hired girl in the ki-kitehen last night, when ma went out to-to tend the baby," and he started for the house. " Here, Johnny," said lua father, putting his hand iu his pocket, " here is a quarter. I didn't know I was whipping you so bard. I don't care if you go fishing every Sunday." .. The boy took the mohey, but we'don't know whether be told bis mother about the kiss or not; but, as everything is quiet in the family, don't believe that the lady knows anything about it. riiXlHES ....XT.

Harmony and Entbusfann 01i!o" a'Ferma nent and Reliable Democratic State. The Ohio State Democratic Convention, says a Columbus correspondent, wa3 a very large" one, haying C30 delegates in attendance. Every county 'was fully represented, and unusual harmony and much .. enthusiasm .prevailed . from first fo last," The ticket nominated cannot" fail to be a popular one. f- r" ' "" The convention was singularly orderly, and yet was enthusiastic on the slightest provocation. The speech of Gen. Ward, permanent Chairman, and a few words by Senator Thuxman jand Gov. Bishop were full bf hope. Thurmau com-" mended tl e ti '-' t, fit: 1 tblire 1 that be wa.3 eatiffed tli t .3 wvikdore wolild' tend to mike Ohio a periamfnt and re-. liable Democratic 'Shite. ' lie promised : to devote his' personal .attention to the campaign. . , During Gen. 'Ward's speech he said : " Let us congratulate ourselves that j we .have; been gaining ground -for our entire policy. We have driven back the haughty moneyed power that sought to subdue-the nation. Silver has been re-, roonctizeck,,, . Tb" grepubacks .have been ; preserved. Contraction has been stopped, ! and ere long the people's dollar, the people's money, will be received for public dues and be equal with gold. Now, my fellow -citizens, I may really congratulate you upon your past success. and look hopefully with you upon the future." .We elected bur President two years' ago, but oiif' '"victory was snatched from us. by the stealthy Land of fraud. But the same hands that snatched away our victory poured into the cup of. the .Republican party the slow poison which is proving its destruction. Two years" from now we will elect our candidate by a majority so apparent and by such a triumph that no lieturning'Boards will'dare ' to' : steal away our victory, i Be then of good cheer." H " The 'above. extract will probably, as well as anything else, show the tenor of the convention. "It was aggressive and confident from first to.last. :' The following platform was adopted : The Democratic party of Ohio in convention asfie-Dibled hereby reaffirm the foilowiagfilauses in the platform of the convention -of July 25, 1877,ndorsea by amajcrity of more thaa 22r 000 last fall by the people of Ohio. We renew its pledges of devotion to the Union and the constitution with it 4 amendments. It declares as essential to the preservation of the Government a faithful adherence to, the -following principles : Home rule ; supremacy of the civil over the military power ; separation of church apd Etate ; etpiality of all citizena" before the law : liberty of all individual action, unvexed

Ilesolved, That "the investigation of the frauds committed at the laet Presidedtial election iu Florida or Louisiana ought to have been made by the Electoral Commission ; Ita refusal to do bo was a violation of the spirit of the law under which it was organized,' and a gross insult to the people of, .the , United States, and whilst the decision as made by the Forty-fourth Congress of the question as to v,ho snould be declared President of the United States for the present Presidential term was, " in ' our judgment, final, that decision c right not. to preclude an authentic investigation and expoatire of all frauds connected with that election, and the due accountability of all who were guilty connected with them. - He solved, That the commercial and industrial stagnation that has long prevailed throughout the country, and the consequent widespread want and suffering, is due directly to the pernicious financial legislation of the republican party, which we hereby arraign for ita acts, and charge. 1. That at a- time when the country was weighed down with debt, created on the basis of the full volume of paper, added to both the precious metala as money, it enacted, a sweeping change in the measure of valued wholly in the interest of moneyed -capital, by demonetizing, silver, -.and xiirecung the destruction of legal-tender paper, and thereby wrongfully added, in effect, hundreds of millions - to the Durdan. 01 debt and taxes upon the people; 2. By pursuing ita merciless policy of contracting the paper currency and hoarding' gold, it has increased continually tha value of many securities that partaKe of the enhancement of money, and decreased the value of all other property, and especially of capital designed for productive use, and required for the - employment of . abor, thus repressing, instead of fostering, industry, eompijiliiig idleness instead of sustaining trade and commerce, and now .this party in Ohio puts forward in its platform the declaration that the financial question has been settled. We deny this- declaration, and, while we congratulate the country that the downward course to bankraptey ana ram. involved in tho .Republican policy has been partially averted by te .Democratic measures passed at the late session of Congress, restoring the debt-paying power to the silver" dollar, made, law in .spite of tne president's veto, and stopping the further destruction of greenbacks, wb demand as further,, acts of - justice, as well as measures of relief, the repeal of the liesunipiion act and; the" lawful liberation cf the coin hoarded in the treasury, the removal of all restrictions to the coinage of silver aa a money metal the came aa gold, as it was before its fraudulent demonetization, the gradual substitution of United States legal-tender paper for national-bank, notes and its permanent re-establisnment as the sole paper money of the country mads receivable for all dues to the Goemmt.nt and of e pal tender vs. th coin, tno amount of tuch issues to bo pd rc,"ul 'nd tv Ipc.

this is a Government 'of :the"" peeple,' who will the people should rule, do hereby declare: 1. That we arraign the Republican party for corruption in ofSe, and Its unwise legislation and its wicked perversion of the people's will, as expressed at the polls. It has squandered the public lands", squandered the public fund?, and corrupted tha whole body politic. It has. place d men In cilice dishonest and incapable, who have used their positions as private perquisites. ' It has legislated tor the rich, oppressed the poor, and created gigantic mocopo lies. It has burdened each town and city with debt and taxation, and driven them lathe verge of bankruptcy. It ha 3 driven our commerce from the foas and destroyed oar once-powerful navy. It has completed its career of crime and dishoner by stealing the Presidency from the people, and placing fraud in the Presidential chair. 2. We indorse tha investigation of the electoral frauds, to the end that the truth of history be vindicated, and a repetition of euch

find silver coin ia the on, and ail paper money 1 1 j c, ia at the will f the d to a further forcible te of the currency, and money cf th-i . should be convi.. holder. We are c reduction cf th-j v we approve the sut of Congress prohibiting such reduction. We declare that the prostrate condition of the business interests of the country imperatively demand that taxation, both State and national , shall be reduced to the lowest point consistent with the attainment of the objects for which such taxes ehall be levied, and that economy t-hall be practiced in every department of " theOovernmetft.' We congratulate the country xipon the reduction of over $50,000,000 in" -'tiie "ftstioB&I wependittnres - daring the last four years, and which result was secured by a Democratic House of Representatives. ' . - ; - - - . A. Kep&blicaa Idol Destroys . - I;3rselt Eliza Confesses Jhat She Vas Paid forr Her 3Lying Testimony. Everybody remembers bow all the Republican papers in the land flred the Northern heart with Ebza Pinks ton's tale of outrage end murder: The dead Pinkstona and the dying Ebza, victims of Democratic savagery, afforded all the proof needed of the terrible state cf terrorism in Louisiana. The New York Herald ' has just reunearthed Eliza Pinkstoii "and obtained from her a sworn statement of? the "whole affair. Her affidavit is as follows ; f.,-,j,v: . .? State of Mississippi, County of Ma.ijis Eliza Pritchard, a woman of color," being duly Bworn, deposes that her name has been Eliza Pinkston ; that she has since married Wayman Pritchard and -is , now residing at' Canton, Miss.; that aa Eliza Pinkston she did appear as a witness before the Louisiana board at New Orleans, La., in November, 1376, and at euch gave testimony that her former husfoarid, Eomy Pinkston; had been killed and she , herself seriously wounded by certain Democrats of the parish of Ouachita, on account cf the Republican politics of herself andhnsband. Deponent further deposes that she was induced ' 19 give eaid tecumony--' by certain ttepuDiicans, namely, O. H. Brewster and Dmkgrave, by promises of reward, and she -was, in fact, paid therefor the sum of 5500, which Bhe received, aud, after taking therefrom the sum of $50, he allowed the remainder to remain with P.rewster on deposit, but has failed to obtain said amount from Brewster, although she has frequently demanded the same. Deponent alleges that, at the time of giving said testimony, she was in a weak and prostrate condition, induced by Buffering from wounds and by having her feara played upon by intimations that the Democrats were intent on murdering her ; that he was readily induced by those persons of su perior intelligence to give her testimony a coloring so as to show that her nuband, Pinkston, was killed and herself wounded on aocount of political opinions, when the f actswere that her husband, Pinkston, never took any part in polities, ,and had in no way given any offense to any Eerson on account of politics ; but deponent elieved then that said murder was in no wise connected with politics; that' she did not then" nor does she now know who were the persons engaged in said murder and wounding, but there is every reason to think it was a colored man who had twice fought with her husosnd, and had been by him worsted. Deponent further deposes that she was brought from her then home in Ouachita parish to New Orleans, and was instructed to-tes-tify and lay all the blame of said killing and assault upon the Democrats, and that she was further instructed and induced to pretend that her wounds were more serious than they were, and that she could not walk, when, in fact, she had walked each day considerable distances, and ascended long nights of stairs, such aa the Custom-IIouse stairs in New Orleans, without assistance, and on the day she was carried in the room of the Iieturning Board on a lounge or sofa she was conveyed in a carriage, but was able to walk and did walk a part of the way up the stairs to the room in which the Beturning Board was sitting; but she was induced ta allow herself . to be carried in on said eof a in order to produce the impression that she was worn oat and couldn't walk. Deponent further deposes that previous to her civm her- testimonv before said "Returning Board she was visited by John Sherman and others of the visiting statesmen, and introduced to them 68 such, and that the walked before them, and they had ample opportunity to see what her condition was, and that she could walk about. Deponent further deposes that during the time she was in New Orleans attendicg the. e&Li Ik-turning Board she was constantly given money by different IiepuhlicanaV and was -promised a support for Me, which last has not been given as promised. Deponent makes -fhiif sffiaa'fit without fear from any cause, and without any promise of reward or other consideration than & desire to have the whole truth known, ia the interest of truth.

She covers herself with fraud, forgery, duplicity, and treachery,, if . ber story is true.

" Chairman1 Potter has ; ..forwarded -to. Sherman a. ( reply to the latter's ., request that several hundred ' witnesses,' whom-'; he -names, may be ..summoned to provp that there was intimidation and fraud iu Louisiana. Potter re J minds Sherman that the principal wit-; nessea whonjt he asks for have already been summoned, including Weber, whose testimony has ' befeu " taken,: and that every other request of the Sea-: retary has. been granted, but the Com-: mittee has not yet decided ' to g6 into the ' question-" rf intimidation, and lie (Potter) does not-vthink, it - ,german: or necessary. The allusion to Weber's testimony is a little rough in'view of the facts. .Weber .was. 'summoned nfc Sker-f man's instance as his witness. On his1 arrival, Sherman and Sheliabarger in-i terviewed him, and undertook to "coach" him. " Finding that Weber didn't "coach" worth a cent, and wasn't likely to give the kind of testimony wanted, they dropped him and told him he might go home, but some of the committee thought he might as well testify as long as he was here ; so he stayed.

' r - In order once more to assure our thousands of 'Republican readers that they need not be 1 alarmed at the cry about 4 ' revolution" and ' 4 Mexicanization, " we reproduce the resolution that was adopted by the House : ' Hesolcedr That the two bouses of the Fortyfourth Congress, having counted the votes cast for President aud Vice President of the United States, and having decided Rutherford 8. Hayes and William A. Wheeler duly elected President and Vice President, there ia no power in any subsequent Congress to reverse that declaration, nor can auy sueh -iower be exercised by the courts of the United States, or any other tribunal that Congress can create under the constitution. There were but fourteen votes iu opposition to thus resolution. . This ex-; presses the purpose of the House of "Representatives touching the Presidential title. It robs the Republican party of its ammunition and its batle-cry. There will be no excuse hereafter for misrepresenting or misunderstanding the attitude of the Democratic party toward the Presidential title. Cincinnati Enquirer. ' ' " .".
