The Cleveland party who took an ocean
voyage with "whole army of pleasure
seekers on the Great Eastern, must have
had jolly time, and the public may expect
" a first rate puff" from "our Senior" Of the
Plain Dealer. A special despatch to the
Tribune states that the Eastern landed the
Excursionits at Cape Island, having run thirty
miles out of her course, and that after q
"night of horrors" they rushed eagerly
ashore, nearly the whole company, number
ing about 2,OOl, being landed on the burning
beach The dispatch represents that impo-
sition and discomfort preyailed-that from
the moment of starting the passengers were
made the prey of the most reckless avarice-
and the "pleasures" of the trip are thus
summed up:
A large number of ladies, and nearly all
the gentlemen, slept or struggled on rude
mattresses on the decks in dirt and disorder,
and were exposed to smart storm of rain
before the hour of waking. Those who had
state rooms were crowded together, and suf-
fered from terrible heat and the great rocking
of the vessel.
This morning it was impossible, without
bribery, to obtain water for washing, or the
plainest article of the toilet. The reporters
were, with one exception, roughed with the
rest. The fortunate exception spent the
night in a hen-coop. An effort was made to
provoke music from Dodworth's Band for
dancing, but after a few melancholy strains
the musicians refused further discourse unless
they were paid twenty-five dollars.
4 lighted cigar set a mattress on FIRE in the
middle of the night, and the rigging was en-
dangered. There seemed to be no discipline
whatever among the officers Of the ship
The rudder-chains broke, and for nearly an
hour the steamer was guided by the engines
alone. The wheels were frequently deser-
ted.
The restaurant was one grand swindle.-
1t was given out, as soon as the people sat
down to the first supper that the most ne
ceSsary articles had run out; and only heavy
fees to the walters, after long waiting pro-
duced any food at all. Brackish water
brought, in some cases, twenty-five cents a
glass; and the confusion and filth We're simply
revolving. There was not single expression
of pleasure.
The general Indignation took the form Of a
formal meeting on deck this morning. Mr.
William Fuller acted as Chairman, and DR..
John Howe as Secretary, both OF New York.
A series Of bitter resolutions were passed,
and obtained a large number Of influential
signatures. They denounced the excursion
as a swindle and the whole arrangements as
contemptibly disgraceful. They also advise
all persons who propose to go to Norfolk and
Annapolis in the Great Eastern to stay at
home for fear of similar treatment
The officers of the ship disclaim all respon-
sibility for the outrages.

Crnnd RopubIloan ram n Tioln q

The mass meeting at Titiin on the LIST was
one Of the largest and most enthusiastic
ever held in Northern Ohio. Old Seneca
turned out In her strength, and large delega-
tons came in from Huron Rchland, Craw-
ford, Wyandotte Hardin, Hancock, Sandus-
ky, and Erie counties. The trains from all
quarters were crowded, and the multitude
congregated was estimated at 10000
The procession OF Lincoln Guards, Wide
Awakes, Bands, Clubs and delegations which
came from divers places in divers manners,
was most animating and imposing. The
Registers account says:
There were troops OF men on horseback,
bearing banners of various device, among
them one or two companies of Wide AwakeS
wagon-loads Of "Uncle Abe's Girls, forty in
a wagon, drawn by six-horse teams; "Uncle
Abes Boys" on huge platforms mounted on
wagons, splitting logs into rails and throwing
them TO the shouting crowds in the Streets
"Uncle Abes Nephews, several hundred
strong and stalwart ones from the country /;
men on horseback and a party wearing
"Lincoln and Hamlin' badges on their hats,
coat collars, watch-Chains, and every other
place where they could hang them; citizens
in carriages and wagons, mounted on horse
back or going independently a-fOOt; all in
dicating their belongings and sentiments by
banners, notices, transparencies, etc, in
style and variety, interminable as the process
sion itself.
At half-past one the procession entered the
grove near the Fair Grounds, which had al
ready been taken possession of by the peo-
pie. At the main stand the Hon. John Ca
rey was chosen President. Cassius NJ Clay
was introduced to the people, and welcomed
with deafening cheers He spoke for an
hour asd quarter with great effect, and
was much applauded So immense was the
concourse that when Mr.. Clay wes speaking,
the Hon. John Sherman addressed another
mass meeting in the vicinity, and the Hon. J.
NJ Ashley the third near the entrance of the
grove.
In the evening torch light procession of
1000 torches, presented a grand appearance
and speeches were made by Gov Dennison,
Hon. j. NJ. Root and Others. It was a fitting
finale of the grand Republican Rally

"Pop Goes the weaseI.n

1t is rumored that the Finance COMMITTEES
Of the Breckenridge party received, in re-
sponse to their demand for money from the
ofice-holders of Ohio, the snug sum of nearly
five thousand dollars, in about ten days from
the issuing of their circular. If the levy
continues to yield such satisfactory returns
until the list is exhausted, this enterprising
committee will not fall very far short of get
ting its twenty-seven thousand dollars

aReEolutions never go backward, and the
revolution in the Senate has gone on steadily
for five years. The Democratic preponder-
ance, remarks the Albany journal, has di-
minished year by year, and the Republican
side has every year increased its numbers
There are now twenty-six Republicans
The recent election in Oregon secures the
gain Of one. The substitution of Gov. Chase
for Pugb from Ohio, is another. The Penn
sylvania and Indiana Legislatures win pretty
certainly be Republican, and this secures a
gain of two more in place Of Bigler and Fitch.
Kansas cannot be kept out much longer, and
when admitted she win add two more. The
Republicans will then lack but two Of ma
jority, which two they can hardly fail to get
in the place Of Thompson, Of New Jersey,
and Bright Of Indiana The Senate once
gained, it will be as difficult for any oppon-
ent to wrest it from the Republicans, as it
has been for the Republicans to wrest It from
the Democrats.

An Old soIdier-Riaht About Face f,

Gen. Benson, of Morrow county, is we'll
known as an old Soldier and Democrat, but
he has resolved to "train' with the factiouists
no longer. He has recently come out with
a card urging his fellow soldiers of 1912 to
vote for Republican candidates, and in closing
significantly says:
have always been a Democrat and for
several years have stuck to the party with
the forlorn hope that it would return, like the
Prodigal Son, acknowledging its sins, and re-
solving never to 90 astray again. But it still
continues to s'spend its substance with harlots
and in riotous living" and now absolve my
self from all allegiance to II.

The PIGEON TRADE OF MIcHIGAN.-We
learn from the Grand Rapids Eagle that
there have been shipped from that place
alone-to say nothing of the large quantities
shipped at other places in that region-5s8
barrels, or los, ,555 pounds OF wild pigeons,
during the past season. The Eagle esti-
mates the total number of pigeons shipped
from that region of Michigan at between one
and two millions.
The freight paid on pigeons at the Grand
Rapids Express Office, during the season,
amounted to So, ,48s 81, and the pigeons sold
for about S25, $40. Quite respectable in
come for one town, from wild game, in a sin
gle sporting season.

THE RIGHT POLE RAIsIYG.-An exultant
Yirginian sent to the y. Y. Tribune a piece OF
the Lincoln pole so valiantly chopped down
aud chopped up by the chiyalry at Occoquan,
with this epistle:
''This is the way we do things down
South. You can erect as many Lincoln poles
North as you please; but you cannot come
down into our sunny South and erect one. +"
The Tribune replies that ''our correspond
ent is mistaken. We shall erect first rate
one in the White House at Washington on
the 4th Of March next-Iuite tall, though
only few inches over six feet-and it will
stand there a: least four years, and not be
cut down even." This must mean "Old
Abe"

faculties to an unusual degree.
Mr.. Dewey is, also, the Oldest surviving
Member of the New York Legislature. He

SCARCITY OF WATER-The Providence
Journal says that in consequence of the
scarcity of rain in that State, many of the
mills are stopped entirely, and a still larger
number are running only portion of the
time. In the present condition of the do
mestic dry goods market the drought is a
serious misfortune. It occasions not only q
great loss of profits to the manufacturers
but depriyes many dependent persons of their
means of support, and gives to some of the
villages an aspect little less dull than during
the great revulsion of 1857.

ExcHLLEScE OF THE DoRKING FowL.-This
| Justly celebrated breed Of fowls is ofvery an
cient origin, having been recorded in some
ancient poultry books more than 1000 years
ago. They are remarkable as having five
| toes on their feet. This breed is liable TO
| degenerate If bred in-and-in too closely, and
| the male bird should be changed every year,
| if il is desired to keep up the stock TO perfec-
ton. They have been imported to this
country, ana much used to cross with, and
improve our common barn-yard fowl; but 1t
| is yet rare to meet with a Dorking on the
farms in this country, of pure and uncontam-
mated blood. For general purposes we think
this breed the best of the whole poultry tribe;
and they are also hardy, and able to stand
our cold winters.--Genesee (N. ~ Farmer.
