THE STANDARD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 27,1879.

' Kren old cock eyed Ben. Batler now admite that he thinka Foster will carry Ohio, and Cornell New York; and furthermore, he thinka if they do it will everlastingly cook * Tilden’s • goose. “Them s our princerpils,” exactly. Denis Kearney did »ot -barn General Grant in effigy to any alarming extent. Circumstances over which he bad no control combined to prevent the execution of his plans. The 200,000 people that turned out in San Franeisco to welcome the ex President back to his native soil, waa one great obstacle is Denis’ WaJ ' t . The Cincinnati Gazette says: ‘‘When Tilden and Field dissolved partnership the former bad the cash and the latter the experience”. That is better than the old man came oat of the Presidential struggle. When the electoral commission decided the contest in favor of Hayes, the hero of Gramercy Park discovered that he was oat a barrel of money and had on hand about a barrel of experience. Li-tcu to what the Chicago Times says o's th« hero of Grainmercy Park fur President: Sam Tilden will never he President. The Tilden ring may pa?k a nominating convention, -as they did in 1876, and undoubtedly they will do so should they elect Tilden’s man for ■governor; but, should their programme ■be carried to that stage, they will never carry it further. President, Mr. Tilden can never be.' ' M The new board of directors of the Northern prisou, Messrs Lee, Hoover and Wile, met iu Michigan City on tho evening of. the 23rd instant, and elected the following officers: President, John Lee, of Crawfordsville; Clerk, M.Sidener, of Crawfordsville. The board made the following appointments: Warden, James M unloch-, 6f I-afayette; Deputy Warden, Baker, of Boone; Steward. Major Burke, of Lafayette; Physician, Dr. J. F. McNutt, of Jefferson, Clinton county; Moral Instructor, Rev. Hope B. Miller, of Jasper county. Murdock, the new Warden, is now in city, where he will' remain until October Ist, when the keys of the prison will be delivered up to him by ex-Warden Marne. The return of Ex-President Grant to this country, after an absence of two and a halfjrears elicits the greatest enthusiasm from members of all political parties. . II is arrival in San Franeisco Saturday evening last was heralded by the firiug-of cannon, ringing of bells, blowing of steam whistles, music of bands, calliopes, etc., and such a receptiou as wa.Vgiven him by the citizens of the Golden Gale was never accorded to any public man upon returning to his native country after a prolonged absence. The jGeueral's tour around the world has been one coutiuucd ovation from the time of his departure from Philadelphia up to the time of his arrival at San Francisco, and the welcome that is now being extended him by the people of his own country is a fitting testimonial of the merits of the man both as a chieftain and a ruler. The pulse of the na tion thiobs with gratitude .for the man who saved it from destruction, and the hearts of his countrymen leap with joy at the very mention of his dame. Welcome,thrice welcome to the hero of the war oi the rebellion! Long may the flag fbr which he fought float “o’er the land of tho free and the home of the brave.”

7 The Chicago Tribune speaks right out in meet in , as tbe saying is, about’ Ben. Butler. Hear what it says: “General Butler is tbe most pestiferous demagogue who.has ever appeared in American politics. He has been a member of all parties, and has never been true to one. lie has been kicked out of the front door of every party, ; and kicked oat of the back door again when Ae tried to sneak ! in by the rear. He was ejected from the Democratic party and turned up in the republican; kicked out of the republican, be appeared in the rag baby crowd; and when even these lunatics began to distrust him, he went over to the Com mnnists and consorted with Dennis Kearney until even this blatherskite quit him in disgust. He is oow at the head of a personal^following of the fag ends and refuse of all parties, and seeks to be elected by a rabble of sore-beaded republicans, disgruntled democrats, crazy rag babyites, disorganizing communists, who represent nothing hot Ben Butler’B ambition to be in office. It is a party without organization, without principles, without a church, without a school-house, without common respectability, headed by a demagogue without political affiliation, without political honesty, without moral principle, and without personal responsibility. He is a social bully and political blackguard, whose election as Governor of tbe ancient commonwerlth of Massuhnsetts would be as great a to that state as tho election of Blackburn has been to Kentucky.”

1 - •' —• ; Through the couriesy of the Indianapolis Journal we are enabled to lay before oar readers, this week, a two-page supplement, one page of which embraoes a complete reprint of six columns of the editorial page of that notorious rebel sheet, The Sontbern States, which was published at Okolona, Mississippi, on the 10th instant. Oa the other page will be found the speech of President Hayes at the reunion of the survivors of his old regiment, at Youngstown,' Ohio, on Wednesday, of last week, and the one delivered by him at Detroit the following day. Also the letter of General W. T. Sherman declining to accept the invitation to be preeent at the reunion of the Confederate and Federal armies to take place at Salisbury, N. C., en the 3rd of October. It will be found a very interesting document, and should be preserved for future reference. The democratic board of directors of the Northern Prison, in their recent appointment of Rev. Hope B. Miller, Moral Instructor, inadvertantly, we presume, acted upon the principle which prompted the boy to kick the dead dog, just to demonstrate that there is a punishment after death. Truly, the poor prisoners can adopt the language of Cain: ‘•My punishment is greater than I can bear.” But then why should we waste our sympathy? ■ It wilLsmly be an example of a democratic preacher, exhorting a democratic congregation to seek salvation before it is everlastingly too late. • - ’ John Chinaman is emigrating from California eastward.

DEATH OF A JOURNALIST.

Will. B. Hoover, editor of the Monticello Democrat, died at bis father’s residence in Burnetlsville, White county, Sunday evening, September 21st, after an illness of only a few weeks duration. A short time previous to his death his condition seemed to for the better, and he sat up, laughed and conversed with members of the family.. His sudden death led to an investigation of his case by the physicians, the result of which was published in the Monticello Herald, from which we copy: “On Monday afternoon at 2J P. M. an autopsy made upon the remains of Wm. Hoover, by Drs. Clark & Treacy, of Monticello, by request of Dr. Hoover, at the doctor’s residence in Burnettaville. A thorough examination of all the organs of the thorax and abdomon was made. The heart and lungs were normal and presented a healthy appearance. The right kiduey was enormously enlarged, and on cutting into it was found to be softened, and near the pelvis '(or body of kidney) several small abscesses were found containing pus. The left kidney was of nearly normal size; on the surface there were some 60 small ulcerated points, showing the existence of suppurative nephritis. On cutting into the bladder it was found very much denuded of mucus membeane. At the fundus of the bladder was found an enormous stone weighing 2 ounces and 5 drachms, which was lying in a sac formed by the mucus coat of the bladder. Mr. Hoover was possessed of a very sensative nervous organization, and on Sunday evening had a very severe spasm of pain, after having exerted himself more than his weakened constitution could stand, and died from the shock thus caused.” From the obituary notice published in the same paper we make the following extract: “The deceased was born near Lewistowb, Pa., in December, 1851. In 1865 he removed with his father to this State, locating first at Monticello, where his father practices! medicine for a short time, afterwaid removing to B.rnettsville. A few years ago he became connected with the Logansport Journal as reporter and solicitor, m which capacity he labored so faithfully as to win frem his employers the highest esteem. About two years ago he came into possession of the Democrat office at' this place, which he conducted successfully up to the time of liis death. He caino to his work at this place with a strong ambition to make the Democtat a success, lie was energetic, full of business tact, and indefatigable as a news gatherer. He worked hard, added from time to time to the facilities of his office, and the pages of his paper bore witness to his ambition as a journalist. He took greut interest in .everything pertaining so liis profession and possessed the true spirit of journalistic enterprise.” Mr. Hoover’s death will leave a vacancy in the editorial ranks of the newspaper fraternity of White county whichbe difficult to fill. He was a writer of considerable ability, and as a news gatherer he had few equals. His sudden and untimely demise is deeply deplored by tho community in which he lived and of which he was a worthy member..

—Chicago has a genuine female blacksmith. Her name is Mrs. Jacobs—Christine Jacobs. She’s a Mecklenburger. Her husband, the lesser man of the two, has a shop at No. 633 North Wells street, Chicago. She weighs 246 pounds. She has an arm like a fencepost and a leg like an iron column. Her eyes are not larger than two black beads, and not so bright. Her coarse hair runs nearly into her eyebrows. She is ‘'nearly tbe same height both ways.” She is not handsome. She is useful. She was • ■•helper” to her husband in the Old Country, and here, also, before the fire, when her “ol’ man" got burned out. Since that memorable event she has come out strong and stepped to the front. She has been there ever since. All'this has in nowise interfered with the duties ordinarily imposed upon-her sex; but she doesen’t make any fuss about little matteis of this kind, and no family event can keep ber from the forge more than a day or so. Mr. Jacobs doesn’t remark that he is dissatisfied, although he does have quite a tired air about him.— [Louisville Courier-Journal.

| the wkafo romance of the world, there la ne 1 career like that of General Grant. Who of crowned monarch* could have aaade the circuit of civilisation with so many distinguished marks of honor? Who of contemporary military men could have excited so much internet in all quarters of the globe? If Moltke bad made the tour of the world he would have received no such marks of recognition, and yet, next to Grant, Moltke is the meet illustrious military character of the age. If we paee from generals to statesmen it is obvious that no other contemporary statesman would have received anch universal marks of respectful homage as have been paid to General Grant. We ueed not allude, to monsrehs, for it is not the habit of monarchs to make extensive travels; but if Prince Bismark, for example, the greatest and most successful statesman of the age. had made the tour of the world, who believes that he would have met such a series of brilliant ovations as have greeted General Grant? The distinguished American ex-President has made the most remarkable journey in all recorded history, seeing more, honored more, admitted to closer confidences by the rulers of mankind, than any individual who ever before undertook to recreate and instruct himself by extensive journeys through foreign lands. This illustrious soldier, statesman and citizen has now, after long journeyings and voyages, again eet his foot on the soil of his native land, and it is not surprising that his own admiring countrymen emulate the honors which have been paid to him ip foreign lands. The spontaneous demonstrations of respect in the city of San Francisco should be all the more gratifyiug to General Grant by the fact that they are not intended to have any political significance. They are the free offering of independent citizens, and not a facticious demonstration gotten up for party effect.—£ New York Herald.

HOW AND WHAT TO WRITE.

Write the proper names plainly. Never wrangle or dispute in print with anybody. • , Bo brief in statements; sparing in comments. . Write with ink; never with pencil unless unavoidable. .Don’t attempt fine writing; it is news that is wanted, not style. Short ilpms and lots of them are what pleases the editor and reader. Be pointed; don’t write all around a sub* ject without hitting it. When you have nothing to say stop. Never mind filling out the page. Paragraph whenever a change of the subject occurs, and in no other place. Don’t puff; if an advertisement is worth anything, it is worth paying for. Eschew preface, plunge into the subject at once. State facts; don’t moralize. Write only on one side of the sheet, as the copy has oftimes to be divided among several compositors. Don’t say eve for evening, scholar for pupil, pants for pantaloons, gents for gentlemen, or Sabbath for Sunday. <• Avoid unpleasant personalities, and never send an item the force of which is understood only by yourself and a few others. Don’t be afraid of making your communications too brief. From two to three columns of matter has to ho left out every week. You can keep the authorship as nearly a secret from the public as you please, indeed, nobody needs know you write for the newspaper, unless you choose to let them know it yourself. The editor won't tell—rely upon that.—[Ex.

THE QUEEN OF ALL.

Honor the dear old mother. Time has scattered the snowy flakes on her brow, plowed deep furrows on her cheeks, but is she not sweet and beautiful now? The lips are thin and shrunken, but those are the lips which have kissed many a hot tear from the childish cheeks, and they are the sweetest lips in all the world. Tbe eye i g dim, yet.it glows with tho soft radiance of holy love which can never fade. Ah, yes, she isadoariold mother. The sands of life are nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she will go further and reach down lower for you than any other upon earth. You cannot walk into a midnight where she cannot see you; you cannot enter a prison whose bars will keep her out; you can never mount a scaffold too high for her to reach, that she may kiss and bless yuu in evidence of her deathless love. When the world shall despise and forsake you, when it leaves you by the wayside to die unnoticed, the dear old mother will gather you in her feeble arms and carry you home and tell you of all your virtues until you almost forget that your soul is disfigured by vices. Love her tenderly and cheer declining years With holy devotion-—[Ex.
