THE STANDARD. SATURDAY. JULY 12, 1879.

‘•Our President or blood,” is the campaign cry of the Confederate Bourbons \for 1880. V\, Gen. Ben. Harrison dedined his ap-)-ointment as a member of the Mississippi Lessee Commission. 'rSlumped” is tho title the New York gives to the backdown of the confederate brigadiers in congress. Secretary Sherman is to open the campaigii'for the repnblicans in Ohio. This wilf insure them a good send off. - I?very lover of his country indorses tint'President's vetoes. Diauniouists and * thol friends of the shot gun policy object to ihem. flcnatof WintcrbothaiO Would like to be j:*»veruor of Indiana, aad to that end is circulating around over the state feelingftbe pulse of the people. But the people could not touch 'that botfurm with a t*enty-foot pole. « Zach. Chandler's arraignment of the democratic party has cammed more wriggling and squirming among the leading liglits of that party than President Hayes’ vote’s Whenever Zach. stirs up the anin uls they.set up a tremendous bowlH 4, _ The 4th of July this year wo» prodii'4i\'d of more than the usual number of j accidents. Several persons were killed and many injured by an accident to ij steamboat loaded with excursionists in Massachusetts. A number of deaths occprred in various parts' of the country careless use of firearms, and thcjiiuinfecqus minor casualties complete thepay’s wdvk. Altogether it will be a day! long to be remembered. Tlie Sentinel is the name of a new republics t» puper at Rensselaer and it is well conducted.—[Laporte Argus. • »’hat in the name of common sense is lhe matter with you, Wadsworth? T*n Sentinel is the name of the old coppefl icad democratic states rigbts-ghect at Hersselacr, and Thk Standard is the new republican paper. It cau’t be possible that you commenced celebrating on the Mrd, the. day of your publication. Bis.* aDd explain, ‘-‘Wad," why this is fhuiiiy. - - ‘'lie Indianapolis Journal, of the 11th instiut, published a list of names of gendemen- who have been mentioned in connection with the nomination fop governor on the republican ticket. Thtjv are as follows: Secretary R. W. Tfiimpeon, Hon. G. S. Orth, Hon. Williaii Heilman, Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Geij. Ben. Harrison, Hon. M.'C. Hunter, bieij. Thotaaa M. Browne, Ron. A. G. Porter, Judge W, Q. Gresham, Judge James S. Frazier, Hon. John M. Butler, Sen. Asbury Steele, Hon. Joshua H. Me [ett, Col. Will Cumback, Hon. Jesse J. frown, Hon. James T. Evans, Hon. 4. H.‘ Baker, Hon. W. H. Calkins, Hob. Lon Sexton, Hon. Simeon StansiftrJjudjrefl&Bert 3. Taylor, Hon. D. P. Bulpwin, and many others. Either of thejgcut'etaea named would make as gnoff a governor as the present incumbent, ami j arc all far better qualified for the posit ion.-

fftavsctaer', small town in the prairie country of Jasper-county, ia-trying the experiment of supporting three coiraty papers. The-latest candidate lor public favor is The Standard, a sit column folio, republican :* pislitiat; Eyery town intist have hs exjteriences of .that kind. None are refiling 16 accept- the word of tire hundreds that have tried and failed. No town amounts to intich that has not had one or more newsdie on its hands and Rensselaer may be more prosperous after one of the three papers now there Vpeters out” fvhich is a’ consequence as certain as death.[Rochester Sentinel. The Sentinel shoots-too much at random and’consequently misses the mark. It evidently knows little about Rensselaer awl', the “prairie country of Jasper eoirßty” and much less of its citizens. Instead of being a stpall town, as the Sentinel claims, Rensselaer is a busy, tyisilmg, thriving little city of .1,200 or inhabitants, situated iu the midst ot' as jßno an- agricultural and stockraising region as there is in ludiana. The 'beautiful groves, the numeroussprings of living wetCr; the artteian well, the Iroquois river whose waters abound with fine specimens x>fthe"“fi«ny tribe,” the pbundanee of wild-game of aH kinds and many ether attractions all contribute to-n take it a desirable resort so pleasure seekers and spoilsmen.' Its citizens are tout, courteous, industrious, iatcUigent, . cha: kable, and are always- ready and willing to encourage any and every enterp 'ise that will tend to build cp the t*wi| and’ country around, elevate theinor*ls of WKmty and promote the cause of *t< tnperance.- They support their three coudtj papers with good grace, believing ti/at through the pres»only can the object for which -they am laboring be accomplished. starts out ! with the most flattering prospects, meeting with tar batter success tbam was an ticipated. Its subscription list is- grow\pe rapidly, and its circulation will sow emigre favorably with that of any other

paper published in the county. This, together wkfc its liberal advertising patronage, insures The Standash one of the permanent institutions of the eonnty. The Sentinel was also in error tts to the size of The Standard. It is a seven column folio instead of “a six column.” as Bro. Bitters stated. We eannot help but think these errors are of the head, not the heart, and that the editor of that truly spicy paper, the Sentinel, will make the necessary amends.

REMINGTON MATTERS.

[Trora our special eorrespondent.] This end of the ctMttlf was blessed the beginning of the week with such a rain as was never known since Noah started out on his yachting expedition. The Windows of heaven were not merely opened, but taken entirely out and the flood gates raised; 0. W. Church’s new residence is nearly completed and presents quite an imposing appearance. Some of our flour merchants got on a tear this week and for a few hours that ar. tide was running down as low as 85 cents for quarter barrel sacks. As usual at such times it was not the poor who received the benefit, but those who always have money to buy what they want. R. R. Pettit is rusticating i* the iltfif of Kansas visiting his daughter. He expects to be gone a month yet. The Presbyterian church hah been newly papered and lb« seals repainted. It is thought now a possibility to sit in one of those scats ami g<n up again without taking ,the seat along. Such has not been the case for. the last four o? five yearn. The editors of the GoodlamT Saturday Herald and the Remington Reporter have inaugurated a slight unpleasantness between themselves, and the outlook to- the umtinted promisee that in a short time the whole country round about the tVo towns wiN be flooded with gore, provided the parties meet. Those who know theuq however, thick it will be a taurus fight. ‘ Jimmy Dudd, the famous apostle of temperance, is lecturing in Remington -this week to crowded houses. This 'iT a good field for him to exercise his oratorical powers in, and it is to be ioped he will make his mark. Future devt lopemeats are anxiously looked for. , Mrs. A.

FROM CARPENTER TOWNSHIP.

[Special correspondence >f Thf. Stanuard.] Oh glorious Fourth, wl ere hast thou gone? When wilst thou cone agnin? Green apples and eramp colic have come. A number of temperance pledges were broken last .week. What a grand way to celebrate the anniversary of ihe birth of “America’s latest daughter.’’ Raspberries, cherries, currants, etc., are ripe, and the good housewife is busy canning the same for winter use. 1 Most of the district schools have closed, and the gay and festive school misses have again retired to the privacy of their homes. The “cocklebur” nuisance is disturbing tbe Carpenterite farmers to such an extent as to induce Them to use the hoe in defense of their corn crop. The coming harvest promises to be an abundant one. Oats look well; timothy will make an average crop, and flax in quantity and quality will exceed that of

ntaqy previous years.

OUT OF MEAT.

There is talk of rtmnlng Tilden • for governor of New York this fall. It’il said the ohluaan has been Consulted about accepting and now has the matter under* advisement. His friends say that if he Wf&Ttti they will not only carry New York for bhii; but will also put money enough in the tHtio campaign to secure the electioneer Ewing; Thuh, with New York and Ohio certainly democratic, they claim there would be clear demoenttio victory in* 1880.

AN ESSAY ON WOMAN.

After man came Woman. And she has been after him ever £inc£. She is a person of poor extraction, btflUg made of man’s rib. I don't know why jAdam wanted to fool away his ribs that way, but I suppose he was not accountable for all he did. It costs more to keep a woman than three dogs and a shot gun But she pays you back with interest, by giving you a house full of children to keep you awake at nights and smear molasses candy over your Sunday eost. Besides a wife is a very convenient article to have around the house. She is handy to swear at whenever you cut yourself with a razor, and don’t feel like blaming yourself. Woman is the superior being in Massachusetts. There are about sixty thousand more of her sex than miles in that state. This aceouuts for the terrified, hunteddown expression of the single men who emigrate from lire east. Woman was not creiWeJ per feet. She had her faults—such ah false hair, false complexion, and so on. But she is a great deal tefier fhsry her neigh boi and she knows it. Ere was a woman. She must have been a model »wife, foo', for it cost Adam nothing to keep her in clothes.

Still I don’t think she was happy. She couldn’t go to sewing circles and air her information about everybody she knew, nor eXeite tne envy of other ladies by wearingl her new winter bonnet to church. Neither Could she hang over the back fence and with her near neighbor. > AH these blessed privileges were denied her. Poor EXe! Sire’s d6iid now. And tire fashion she inaugurated- is dead now, too: * W R hndzPt beCn for’ the confounded •-snaik’’perhaps the ladies of the present day would dress'as economically as EvedicTF Bnt the ofily place where her primitive style is emulated is ill certain portions of Africa, where the women consider themselves in full dreis when they have on' but a postage ctafiip stile It in she center' of tl?«ir foreheads. , What a beautiful example in simplicity of dress is shown some of the followers of fashion by that domestic animal, the cat, which rises in the morning, washes its face with its right hand-, gives its (nil .tluce tremendous jerks, and is already dressed- for tbd day* Woman is endowed with a fVemtindous fund of knowledge, ahd a tongue to suit. She lias the capacity for learning everything she was divinely intended to know, and a few extra items besides. Young ladies take a good deal of stock in classes and learn fust. When you see a young lady student from Yassar, with an absorbed look in her eye, and her lips moving, you understand at once that she is memorizing a passage from Virgil. ” But perhaps a closer inspection will revenl the fact that she is only chewing gum. A woman may not be aide to sharpen a lead pencil, or hold an umbrella, but. she can pack more articles into a tiui k than a man can into a one-horse wagon. The happiest period of woman’s life is when she is making ber wedding garments. The saddest is when her husband comes home late at night, to her from the front door steps to throw out a handful of keyholes of different sixes.

GATES.

There is some curiosity in feminine nature. For instance, I once knew a young lady who could easily pass another one on the street without looking around to see wliat she had on. Poor thing! She was blind. One of the worst habits a woman can get into is a riding hubit. But it is not much worse than the modern walking dress, which ladies persist in wear ing on the streets. When a woman approaches the crossing she pauses for one fleeting moment, gives a sudden kick that would tire the envy of a Mexican musSaog, and catches her train on the fly. Tho average age of woman is about twenty-two. She never lives to be very old. Some of them look to be well advanced in years, but you should not judge by appearances. If you will take the trouble to ask a woman how old she is, you will get at the real facts of the matter. And discover that she is quite young. She seldom passes her thirtieth birthday. About that time she begins to tear out certain leaves in the family bible. Scientific- men arc trying to explain wjjy women can't throw stones with the force and precision of the sterner sex. This is glaring nonsense. Women may not be able to thrbw stones with-force and precision, but they cau hit tho mark every time with a gridiron or a stick of stove wood. Experience has taught me that. Women, as a general thing, are' hard to manage. I know of but one way to keep a woman in check. And that is for her to dress in gingham.
