A TALE.-A kind hearted editor of this
city was passing down State street on Satur-
day morning, when he was met by lady
whose appearances indicated that she had
seen better days" The lady stopped him, as
if to solicit aims, and taking from beneath her
shawl a beautiful little rooster of the Bantam
breed, urged him to purchase 1t, to relieve
her necessities, naming twenty-five cents as
suitable price, The gentleman took from
his pocket one dollar bill, which he placed
in the lady's hands, and relieving her Of her
burden, took the little animal to his sanctum,
where it is now established as g lighting ed
itor." At an early hour yesterday morning
it was discovered perched upon chair, crow
ing over pile of exchanges.-Bost Adoer-

The Democracy We. Cow Gardner.
The tone Of she speeches at the Democratic
State Convention, on Wednesday, was in opposi-
ton to any cooperation or afliation Of the DEM
Gratis with the supporters of Gov. Gardner, in the
ensuing gubeFnStorial canvass, as had been con-
hdentiy stated in many quarters would be the
case. Edward Riddle of Charlestown, one Of
the principal speakers at the Convention, gave
the Gardnerites particularly severe sta6s' lie
said 's6ov Gardner expected to get the support OF
Democrats He warned them against any such
course, for it would bring everlasting disgrace
upon the party. Gov. Gardner expected to be
reelected on strict American issues, which no
consistent Democrat could vote for"
If nothing else could Illustrate all idea of the
Democracy aiding His Excellency in his scheme
for reelection, we should suppose that the speech
Of the Governor at Faneuil Hall, on the evening
Of his re nomination, would be enough to satisfy
them Of the folly of any such effort to aid in
placing again in the chair Of State the most uL
ira and obnoxious Know Nothing in the whole
Commonwealth. After committing himself
thrice over to principles the most aaagonistic to
ANYTHING the Democrats have ever protested
Gov Gardner said he in favor OF ''the SPRING
field platform Of 1885, not the eviscerated, castra-
ted Springfield platform which he accused the
Banks men Of standing upon now. 1t will be re-
collected thst the Springfield platform, as con-
structed in 1856, in August, at Springfield, CON
tanned the provision, stricken out the next year,
requiring of foreigners residence OF twenty-one
years before exercising the elective franchise.
So herein all Democrats can see the ultra, blue
nature of Gov. Gardner's Know Nothingism.
And another of the prominent speakers, it will
be recoected, at the Faneuil Hall meeting, said
that if the friends of Gardner obtained power,
Of their first acts would be to "eram down the
threats of those who opposed it, the twenty,one
years restriction s'emasculated" from the
Springfield platform. 1t was partly in view of
such things, probably, that Ithe speakers at the
Democratic Convention were outspoken and
emphatic against any utilization With the Gard
nerites in the approaching contest for Governor.
Extracts from one of Gov. Gardeners annual
messages, advocating the twenty one year pro-
vision, with fnlsome Trades against foreigners"
in other respects, would be particularly interest
ing to Democrats at this time. We may give a
few short quotations therefrom, hereafter, for
their especial benefit.

FACT FOR HoRsEMEN. stock raiser in
Fayette county, KY, lost eight colts in one
season, four of them thorough breds, and
four of them common scrub stock. He am.
putated the legs Of all them, and boiled off the
flesh, cleaning the bones thoroughly, to learn
by examination what difference, in respect to
bone, there was, between pure blooded and
common ones. On taking the bones of the
thorough breds, and holding them up 10 the
light, he noticed that they were almost tran
sparent, almost as much so as white horn
He tried the same experiment with the bones
of the inferior stock. They were Opaque, and
transmitted light no more than buffalo horn.
He then tested the bones by weight, and
found the thorough bred by far the heavier,
showing their superior substance and solidi-
ty, They were hard and dense as ivory
This is singular fact.

proII Epitanhs.

DR.. Pettigrew has published in London, a
collection of epitaphs. Here is droll one /:
''Two sweeter babes you mare did see
Than God amity good to wee.
But they wur ortaken agur fits
And hear they lys as dead as nitts''
On Robert Trollop, architect of the Ex-
change and Town Hall of Newcastle;
Here lies Robert Trolop
Who made yon stones roll up
When death took bis soul up,
his body filed this hole up.n
On Ann Jennings, the mother OF an inn
mense family
'Some have children-some have none
Here lies the mother OF twenty-one"
In Oxfordshire Mr.. Pettigrew has found;
"Here lies the body Of John Rdred,
At least he will be here when he is dead;
But now at this time he is alive
The fourteenth of August sixty-fve.''
In the churehyaId at Guisborougb, in the
North riding Of Yorkshire, is the following
tNigh this place lies four children dear,
In their full strength, nigh twenty year;
And not exceeding twenty one,
The fares flower it is soon gone
Therefore, dear friends, lament no more,
We are not lost but gone before,
In hopes of joyful resurrection"

BLEEDING MASSACHUSETTS" Mr.. S. W.
Waldron, Jr., the temporary chairman of the
Democratic Convention, held in Boston, on We'd
nesday, said, ''You are here, fellow delegates, for
the resuscitation Of poor, bleeding Massachu-
Sets" The allusion, of course, everybody will
understand. BLEEDING Kanzas,' ''black Repub-
licans, "nigger worshippers," &C., are common
and cant phrases used by modern Democrats to
throw contempt upon the Republican party, and
upon those who have protested against the
wrongs inflicted upon the free State settlers in
Kanzas.
DR.. Gihon, prominent Democrat of Pennsyl-
familiar with the history of affairs in that Terrific
~. Since his return, he has published book.
We suggest to Mr.. Waldron to procure copy
without delay. He will then understand the
condition of things in bleeding Kanzas" much
better than he does at present. DR.. Gihon is a
''freedom shrieker'' of the most rampant kind,
but remember it is none of your hypocritical, Re-
publican shrieking. It is orthodox, truthful,
democratic shrieking. 1t is SHREK, SHREK, from
beginning to end.
But, soberly, we do not think Democrats gain
much eEeolt Tor intelligence, for interlty, or tor
honor, who sneer at bleeding Kanzas The facts
are "known and read of all men in respect to
the wrongs and the outrages committed upon the
free State settlers. It is knoWn that more than
score Of men have been shot down like mad dogs,
for no reason save that they were earnest and ac-
tive TO make Kanzas free State and as yet not
one Of these murdereEs has been punished by due
process Of law. 1t is knoscn that the free State
men have been OVERCOME tour times at the bal
lot-bOx by border rufians from Missouri. 1t is
knoscn that code of laws not0 exists in Kanzas
enacted by bogus Legislature, which would dis.
grace any age ar nation. 1t is k,aosoa that every
effort has been made, and is now being made,
land all this sanctioned by the national govern
ment,) to preoent the free State men from having
fair vote at the polls. These and like things
being k'aoacn, we do not see the good taste, the
justice, or the prOpriety, of the contemptuous
phrase sshleedino Kanzas

SAFETY OF THE New York BANK CIRcU-
LATIoN.-The admirable system of the New
York hank circulation is illustrated in these
severe times. Merchants may fail, the banks
themselves may fail, but one great element of
panic, distrust of the circulating medium, is
not felt. The bills Of the broken banks. be-
ing secured by the deposit of public securities,
are taken as readily as ever; and the sound
banks, that find themselves embarrassed by
the amount of their circulation, send them to
the Comptroller when they come in receive
the stocks pledged for their redemption, and
by the sale Of those stocks, place themselves
in funds for the redemption of more. This
plan offers the greatest security with the least
inconvenience, of any that has been devised.
1t is to escape the wholesome guards of this
plan that New York men have bought up
bank charters in Rhode Island, and have
abused the good name of our currency, by
loading it with their over issues. The SUBJ
ject cannot escape the attention of the GEN
eral Assembly at the next session. The AL
bany Statesman of Saturday says:
zone of the marked effects of the present
money crisis, is the return by banks to the
department of registered notes, and renewing
therefor the stock securities deposited by the
superintendent, which are readily disposed of
at premium. We learn that bills amount
ing 10 nearly 100000, have been thus ex-
changed within the last few days, and that
the whole amount exchanged during the last
few weeks, probably reaches twice that sum.
| The exchange affords permanent relief, by
| giving banks cash means in the place OF cir
culating notes constantly coming back for re-
dempton, or lying idle in their vaults. -

HoRT1oULTURAL ExHIBITIoN.-We hope that
our citizens are prepared to do all that is neces-
sary to make the Horticultural Exhibition, this
year, superior to any that has preceded it. 1t
should be recolIected that this exhibition is ore
of the leading attractions Of the week, and that
it is the means of bringing many people to town,
who come for the purpose of acquiring the know
ledge which such exhibition affords the means
of obtaining. 1t is fact, we believe, that is
universally conceded, that, SO far relates to
fruits cultivated in the open ground. without the
aid of artificial heat, cur exhibitions are second
to none in the country, with the single exception
of that at Boston. We should be careful that
this reputation is sustained and that visitors who
attend should not go away disappointed. This
is a matter, not merely of local PRIDE but of IN,
terest as we'll. Every resident of the place, and
of the county, has, to some extent, personal in
terest in making the exhibitions good and at
tractive-in the first place, because it tends to
disseminate through the whole community inn
portant and valuable information, which will I'M
prove and extend the culture of good fruits, and
thus improve our markets and add to the product.
i've industry of the county; and secondly, because
it brings amongst US great numbers of strangers,
who spend very considerable amount of money
while with us
There are very large number of persons, even
within the limits of this city, who have more or
less varieties Of fine fruit upon their premises,
but who rarely or never show any of it at our ex-
hibitions. To such we would particularly address
the foregoing considerations, and urge them, for
this once, at least, to bring in and show speci-
mems of what they have. The scarcity of apples
will leave the more room on the tables for other
kinds of fruit and that very scarcity makes it the
more desirable that those who have good speci.
mems of apples should EXHIBIT them. The amount
of good fruit raised in this vicinity rapidly in
creasing, every year. and with little effort, this
years exhibition may be made decidedly superior
to any former one. Shall it not be made?

The OVERDUE CALIFORNIA STEAMER. =
Nsio York, Sept. Ut There are no tidings of
the steamer Central America. The terrific
gale which she mnst have encountered on the
morning following her departure from Ha-
vana, is reported by passengers per the En-
pire City, to have lasted five days. The pas
sengers and crew of the Central America
probably numbered seven hundred souls. She
had also on board million aud half IN
treasure, and the California mails. Much
alarm is felt here for their safety, and the
steamer Daniel which leaves this port today
for Havana, viii deviate from her course IN
search of her. The Empire City, which put
in at Norfolk. will likewise, during her pas
sage to New York, join in the search.
Arrival Of the Empire Cjty.-The passen-
gers and mails of the steamer Empire City,
which put into Norfolk on the 18th instant,
arrived in New York this morning. The pas
sengers report that they saw the California
steamer Central America on the afternoon of
the 8th inst, and since then have heard moth
ing of her. The Empire City experienced
awful gales on the 9th, aud for several days
after. On the 18th she was in critical posi-
ton, being out of coal, and was compelled to
burn furniture and wheel houses to enable
her to reach Norfolk.

A GIPsEY SwIND1E.-The Hartford Free

Josiah Holmes, of Stafford, Conn, into the
belief that his land contained valuable mine.
which herself and husband had discovered by
means of magnet, and which they would
locate for the sum Of $1,000. Mr.. Holmes
had about $500 by him, and borrowed $500
to make up the necessary amount, which he
gave to the woman, who counted the bills,
and pretended to sew them into bag, which
she gave to Mr.. Holmes, saying that herself
and husband would ''prospect" for week,
and after discovering the. mine the money
would be theirs. Mr.. Holmes consented, and
left for home with his "money," which to his
dismay, he found, on examination, had been
transferred into parcel of worthless brown
paper He returned to find the "miners,' .

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.-We learn from the
Fall River Meas that on Monday week, Mr..
Timothy Cobb of that city, went over to the
towns of Somerset and Swansey on business,
attending to be absent most of the week.
Not returning on Saturday, however, alarm
was felt for his safety. and search was made
for him, and on Wednesday morning his body
was discovered in the water near the shore at
Miler's cove. 1t had evidently been in the
water several days. There were no marks of
violence on his body, and his pocket book
and papers were found upon his person. He
was last seen on Saturday evening at the
house of Moses Chace, Jr., (about mile
from the Ferry,) where he stopped to obtain
a drink of water, and complained of feeling
faint, and it is supposed that he fell into the
water accidentally or from faintness.
