An ENGLISH PAPER,-An article in For
ney's Press contrasts Lancaster in England,
with Lancaster in Pennsylvania. The popu-
lation of the two places is about equal, say
10000 in each city Says the Press
"Our Lancaster has five weekly and two
daily journals, while It's elder and distant
namesake has only one miserable weekly,
which may take rank as the most insignitc-
ant Of Eaglish provincial journals. Its pro-
prietor had an aversion to anything in the
- leading article line, and literally left his
Journal to edit itself When the exchange
papers arrived he would throw them in a

NEW YORK POLITICS.

The New York Commercial takes a sensi-
Bile view of its line of duty at the coming
State Election. " had hoped for a union
ticket from the Republicans and American
Conventions held at Syracuse. 1t considers
their failure to unite arose not from any
cardinal disagreement of principle, but upon
a division of the candidates for office, and it
does not care to inquire where tho blame
rested.
For itself it will use its " utmost efforts in
aid of the election Of the Republican Ticket. :"
1t admits the men nominated on the Amer
can Ticket are good men. but as the Repub
lican nominees are quite as good, to say no
more, it says where :" on no point essential
to the real welfare Of the state is there posi-
tive disagreement between the two, and
when there is so close an agreement in all
essentials, it is in accordance with common
sense and practical wisdom to give support
to that section Of the opposition which, from
its greater numbers and moro perfect organ
ization, has the most reasonable prospect Of
success The Republican Ticket must sue
coed or both must be defeated. As to Mr.
Morgan, the Republican nominee for Gov. it
says, - in nominating him, the Republican
party has kept its cardinal principles in
view, and has honored gentleman who has
been its faithful representative from the day
of its Inauguration. \ tried prominent and
consistent Wing previously, he assumed from
the first prominent position also in the Re-
publican organization, and was entitled at
his partys hand to that acknowledgement
of his services which has now been made
In his nomination for Governor, the party
have given the people an assurance that they
desire to have the chair of the Chief Magis-
tratc worthily and honorably filled Their
choice OF a candidate has been a happy one -

merc'o' speaks highly Of, and hopes "to see

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!
TIE LATEST PRODIGY OF SCIENCE


Great truths are indestrucible. When
Jenner averred that vaccine incubation was
a safe guard against the small pox, the
faculty sneered. Forty-fve years later,
the world laughed at Daguerres first an
nouncemcnt that he could fix a shadow and
render it as imperishable as substance. Even
Morse's telegraph was regarded by thousands
as a myth, until the first line was put up in
1874. Now vaccination is universal, daguer-
rcotypcs are as common as wood cuts, and
we talk by telegraph with almost as mucn
facility II, across a friends table.
Such is necessarily the progress of grand
discovery or invention in an age like ours ;
and of this irresistible onward movement Of
the useful and bcnefcent in practical science,
we have still more striking example in the
worldwide popularity of lIolloway's great
remedies. If we mistake not, they are scar
cely elder as an invention than the photo
graph and the electric telegraph, and yet
they qrc familiar to half the human race
The discoveries of Daguerre and Morse have
not been applied throughout the whole area
of civilization but barbarian and semi-bar-
barian races, upon whom the light of chris
tianity has not yet dawned have experience
ed the benefits of these preparations.
When they were first introduced to public
notice through the columns OF the English
press, about twenty years ago, some of the
medical magnates of the day scotfed at them,
as their prototypes of the days of Jenner and
Harvey scofed at vaccination and the theory
of the circulation of the blood. But how is
it now? The name of Holloway has been
rendered illustrious by the spontaneous testi-
mony of countless multitudes. The voice of
skepticism has been hushed, and the spacious
arguments of professional dogmatists con-
founded, by the introduction of the Pills and
Ointments into the medical institutions of
the most enlightened nations.
There may possibly be here and there
logged disciplinarian of the old school, who
front see what is patent to the whole world
some fossil specimen of a bygone age of med
icdl blgotry, who closes his ears to the great
fact that llolloway's vegetable remedies are
displacing aud superseding the mineral poi
sons, once considered all in all but such
instances of confirmed and hopeless " old
iogyism' are fortunately few and far between.
They will probably be remembered when
Holloway is forgotten-and not till then

The Importance of having place for eve
ry thing has recently been illustrated in the
burning of the IIousatonic paper mill. As
soon as the fire was discovered, Waterman
ran to the force pump which would have put
it out at once, but he was unable to make
the connection, as the wrench had been mis-
laid : Thus 1870 people were thrown out of
employment and $50 600 worth of property

As UNPLEASANT SEAT.--The TriIupc. in a
report of Quarantine matters, has the follow
ing -
Yesterday, Sergt Sam Brevoort stole a few
moments from his arduous labor as Commits
sary to take walk over the Quarantine
grounds. After looking among the tents and
new buildings erected, he seated himself on
a large rough box under the shade of a tree,
and was quietly rejecting upon the unpoetic
character of camp life, and the utter want of
exalted sentiment in the employment of fur
nishing beef, bacon, beans, potatoes, bread,
and butter for sixty policemen. But his re-
verie was interrupted by hearing a voice, and
looking about, he discovered one of the hos
pital employees addressing him, and the dia-
logue proceeded as follows -
Hullo there, you s3jer man. said the
employee.
. WE'LL" said Sam, rather vcxed at the
want of appreciation of his official position
What do you want -
Like your seat? % was the next Qucs-
Yes" said Sam. Suppose do. What
then -
"Wcll, | only wanted to say that the
man in the box you're scttin on died of the
WALLER Jack yesterday, and kinder thought
you might like to know the fact.
Sam jumped about twelve feet. Without
stopping to thank the party for his informa,
ton, he left the Hospital grounds to rcsum,
his duties among the commissarat.

Mr.. Rarcy describes these to be patience,
confidence, perseverance, a kind disposition.
and tact and skill in managing horse, and
we will add, energy and decision of charac-
ter,-wlthout which, no one need hope to
acquire great skill in tanning vicious animals.
Mr.. Rarey has done much towards anne
liorating the condition of the horse, by in
sisting that uniform kindness should, in all
cases. be exercised even towards the most
stubborn and refractory. This advice has
been often urged by the fri nds of the horse,
but has often been rdiculel by some, who
fancy they possess tar more practical skill in
managing horses than those who undertake
to teach, Mr., Rarcy has wisely put down
the law of kindness as the very basis OF his
system, and his own skill and success, fur
nish the best possible evidence of the sound
ness of the rule VI. Stock Journal.

DOUGLAS ON THE SENATE Floor. The
Washington correspondent of the hide.
pendent gives the following vivid descrip-
tion of this noted character, when under
full headway = ....
He Is very short in stature, but Of such
physical proportions, aside from This lack,
as instantly to attract the attention of
stranger. A very large head, connected
with broad and powerfully built shoulders
by short full neck chest sufficiently
roomy to contain the lungs of giant, and
pair of short dumpy legs complete the
physical picture of the little giant" ifw
except the broad, lofty Websterian brow,
and the deep set, cavernous eyes that
sparkle and glow when excited, like mi-
ner's lamps beneath it, 1t is the tremen-
duous brain power, lodged in that perpen,
dicular precipice of forehead, and shoot
ing out its fires from its Swallowed eyes,
that have given him the soubriquet which
he will carry to his grave When excl
ted and in full flow Of debate, that massive
head rolls and shakes with the emphasis
of his thought, and the huge hand doubles
until the nails indent the palm, or else the
broad open hand receives blow of its
mate, and italicises the sentence with a
stunning report The sweat pours from
him profusely, and falls from his forehead
OF is thrown clear off his shoulders by
those inimical shakes of the head, as the
rain drops are shaken from the trees by a
storm. Add to this thick, bushy head
of black hair and restless uneasy fee,in 3
which prevents his being at rest five con-
secutiye minutes, and keeps him moving
from one point to another in the Senate
Chamber, and my picture of the "little ei-
ent is complete"
