A Yankee Trick,

A week or two ago, iour creditors started
from boston in the same train of cars for the
purpose Of attaching the property of certain
debtor in Pennington Maine. He owed each
one separately, and they were each suspicious Of
the object ofthe other but dored not say word
about it. So they rode, acquaintances all talk
ing about everything except that they had most
at heart. When they arrived at the depot at
Farmington which was three miles from where
the debtor did business. they found nothing but
a solitary cab, toward which they all rushed.
Three got in, refusing admittance to the fourth,
and the cab started. The fourth ran after and
mounted upon the outside with the driver. He
asked the driver il he wanted to sell his horse.
He replied that he did not-that he was not
worth more than $50, but he would not sell
him for that He asked him II he would take
500 for him. "Yes," said he. The fourth
man quickly paid over the money, took the
reins, and backed the cab up to q bank--slip-
ped it from the harness, and tipped it upso that
the door could not bc opened, and jumped up
ON the horses back and rode off, while the 'in-
siders" were looking out OF the window. lie
rode to lawyers and got writ made and ser
we'd, and his debt secure, and got back to the
hotel just as the insiders came up putting and
blowing. The cabman bought back his horse
for $50. The sold men offered to pay that
sum if the fortunate one, who found property
sufficient to pay his own debt, would not tell

struggle must come between this party and thu
National Democracy, sustained by all the othel
conservative elements in the Union.
think it will be impossible for candid mlnc
to discover hostility to the Union, or taint o
sectionalsm, in the resolutions ADOPTED by the
Convention. The Constitution and the Union
repose on the equality of the States, which lies
like broad foundation underneath our whole
political structure. As Iconstrue them, the res
olutions simply assert this equality. They de-
mand nothing for any State or section that is
not cheerfully conceded to all the rest. 1t is
we'll to remember that the chief disorder which
have afflicted our country have grown out of the
violation of State equality, and that as long as
this great principle has been respected, we have
been blessed with harmony and peace. Nor
will it be easy to persuade the country that res
olutions are sectional which command the sup
port of majority of the States, and are appro
we'd by the bone and body ofthe old Democracy
and by vast mass of conservative opinion eve-
rywhere, without regard to party.
1t has been necessary more than once in our
history to pause and solemnly assert the true
character of this Government. A memorable
instance occurred in the struggle which ended
in the civil revolution of 1900. The Republi-
cans of that day, like the Democracy of this,
were stigmatlzed as disunionists, but they nobly
conducted the contest under the Constitution
and saved our political system. By like con-
stitutional struggle it is intended now to assert
and establish the equality of the States as the
only basis of union and peace.
When this objects so national so constitutional
so just, shall be accomplished, the last cloud
will disappear from the American skyand with
common hands and harts the States and the
people will unite to develop the resources Of
the whole country, to bind it together with the
bonds of intercourse and brotherhood, and to
impel it onward in its great career. The Con-
sttuton and the equality of the States! These

| trust that this canvass will be conducted
Without rancor, and that temperate argument
will take the place ofhot words and passionate
accusations. Above all, venture humbly TO
hope that Divine Providence, to whom we owe
our origin, our growth, and all our prosperity,
will continue to protect our beloved country
against all danger, foreign and domestic.

The new French Minister, M. MERCER, was
presented to the President, by acting Secretary
of State, Mr., Trescott, on the 4th Of July.

occasion to express his satisfaction in being ac-
credited to this government, and closed his brief
address by announcing the sincere sympathy OF
his august master, the Emperor, for the govern
ment and for the people OF this great and happy
country.
The President in reply, stated the pleasure
it afforded him in receiving the new Envoy, and
in the course of his remarks made elicitous
use Of the fact that the French Minister should
present his credentials on the anniversary of
American Independence, which could not fail
to remind him (the President) of the deep OBJ.

Always be YOar own Right Hand
Man,

People who have been bOlstered up and le
vered along all their lives, are seldom good for
anything in a crisis. When misfortune comes
they look around for somebody to cling to or
lean upon. If the prop is not there down they
go. Once down. they are as helpless as capsi-
zed turtles, or unhorsed men in armor, and can
never find their feet again without assistance
Such silken fellows no more resemble self made
men who have fought their way to position
making difficulties their stepping stones, and
deriving determination from feat, than vines
resemble oaks, or sputtering rush lights the
stars ofheaven. Effort persisted in to achieve
ment, trains man into sell reliance, and when
he has proved to the world that he can trust
himself the world will trust him. We say,
therefore, that it is unwise to deprive young
men OF the advantages which result from en-
ergetic action, by "boosting" them over obsta
cles which they ought to be able to surmount
alone No one ever swan we'll who placed his
whole confidence In cork jacket; and if in
breasting the sea OF life, we cannot buoy our
selves up aud try to forge ahead by dint of our
own energies, we are not worth salvage, and it
is of little consequence whether we "sink or
swim, survive or perish'
One OF the best lessons that father can give
his son is this: "Work strengthen your moral
and mental faculties. as you would strengthen
your muscles by vigorous exercise. Learn to
conquer circumstances, you are then 'ndepen-
dent OF fortune" The men of athletic minds
who have left their marks on the eras in which
they lived were all trained in rough school.
They did not mount to their high positions by
the help Of leverage, they leaped the chasms,
grappled the opposite rocks avoided the avail
ances, and when the goal was reached felt that
but for the toll that had strengthed them as
| they strove it could never have been attained,

being Q very thick one, it was not broken For
five seconds the body hung motionless. then
the legs were suddenly drawn up to the sto.
mach the arms were violently jerked, as tho
endeavoring to escape from their pinions, the
chest heaved, the hand clenched, and the body
swayed to aud fro, with its terrible agony
These convulsions grew worse and worse, and
in one minute became so terrible that many
shrieked, and several rushed from the Court
yard, in an almost fainting condition. 1t was
quite two minutes Before these terrible strug-
| giles ended, and then life gradually Departed
At eight minutes, the pulse beat 80; at nine
minutes 81; at ten minutes 46; and at precisely
fourteen Of two, life was pronounced extinct
This was in exactly sixteen minutes from the
time the drop fell, to the time the pulsation
stopped.
THE COFFIN
Was OF beautiful rosewood, thickly studded
with silver nails, and containing on the lid
massive plate, bearing simply the name, "Ja-
cob s. Hardin" The coffin was lined with
satin, and was very beautiful one indeed
Some persons Immediately after the inquest
took charge Of the remains for the heart broken
parents.
THE FUNERAL
Took place on Saturday, at the residence of
Hardns father. After tho funeral exercises
the remains were buried on the family farm, at
particular spot near the house.
Thus has ended one of the most sadly inter
esting and important cases on record. 1t should
be warning to all who mediate ths taking o.
human lfe--particularly by poison, for the fate
of Hardin proves that the wife poisoner, though
accomplishing his hellish deed, while ut ttering
protestations Of love, yet cannot succeed against
chemical science, or by expecting false sympa-
thy from jury.
