A HAPPY WEAvER.-A Wilmington (Del.)
paper says that an Irish weaver, named John
Brown, who emigrated to the United States
in the year 1904, and who set up his loom
in Wilmington, in the same place it now oc-
cupies, has ever since been engaged in weav-
ing carpets there, and still continues it, as
happy as the day is long, after lapse of sixty
one years.

Hon. John j. Hale, i'll speech at the

not tasted of ardent spirits, or wine either,
for the last twenty years. The New Hump

"And in so saying he lied like a dog and
we can prove it; and if he will put us in a
condition to do so iudicially we will do it.

Native American Democracy.

1t has become habltual with the Know
Nothings to apply the epithet Foreign
Party" to the Democracy. They do so for
the purpose of creating the impression in the
American mind, that the Democrats are
striving to place the government of the coun-
try in the hands, ard under the control, OF
persons Of foreign birth, and believers in the
Catholic religion But this hypccNtcal stig-
ma reyerts upon their own heads when the
recent votes of Alabama and Tennessee, are
considered. In the former of these two
States, there are only about eight thousand
foreigners and five thousand Catholics while
there are over four hundred and twenty-six
thousand native born citizens In Tennessee
there are six thousand foreigners, fourteen
hundred Catholics, and seven hundred and
fifty-seven thousand native born citizens
VIII the Know-Nothings acknowledge that
they have been beaten by Native Americans,
and that the people are thoroughly opposed
to their secret and unconstitutional concIayes
and the evils they deyelope.--,S. i. Sun.

SUDDEN REsToRATIoN TO SGGHr-A letter
from James City county, Va, says that Mrs.
Martha Richardson several years ago had a
paralytic stroke which caused the total
blindness Of the left eye. Last summer she
was prostrated with lightning, and upon re-
covering, found her sight entirely restored.
The occurrence suggests to the writer the
probable efficiency Of electricity in case of
blindness.

Praising God by Steam.

Il we'll remember said a friend and old
acquaintance to us the other dav--a friend,
bv-the-way, who was born and brought up in
the country and whose city life has not won
him from the remembrances Of boyish days
Il well remember what an excitement was
created when a big bass-viol was introduced
into the choir on Sunday morning at our
meeting house. The deacons denounced it,
the parson preached against it, and the emf
nently pious looked upon it as little short of
sacriege to introduce big fiddle among the
singers with a full grown man saving away
upon its tortured bowels.
"But how different it is now," continued
our friend, laying down the newspaper which
he had been reading; Il see here that in Bos-
ton they praise God By steam in one of their
churches The bellows of the organ in Ire
mont Temple are worked by steam So the
Yankees are going to be relieved of the work
of praising God. They haven't even to turn
a crank to grind out their praise, but invoke
the aid Of steam-power."
There is stroke of satire in this which
will not be lost upon some of our readers.
