Our wives and Daughters.

Tn childhood and youth, girls arc as
healthy, hardy and capable of enduring
fatigue as boys, for the very good rea-
son that nature, regarding it equally as
necessary to give them good consttu-
tions, has kindly done so; and because
they run and romp in the open air, and
thus obey the promptings of unsophis-
ticated nature. Yet our men are much
more healthy than women, or even
young ladies' Take the families of

Certainty and Uncertainty.

Certainty and Uncertainty.
The Republican is the only party
that has any chance or hope Of electing
its candidate for President by the pop
ular vote.
The Republican is the only party
which does not seek to disorganizo the
Government, and keep the country all
winter in a turmoil by throwing the
election into the House of Representa-
tives.
The Republican is the only party
which has a distinct platform, under
stood and upheld in precisely the same
sense, in all sections Of the Union.
The Republican is the only party
which has not made bargains and Goa
itions to cheat the people with double
faced tickets, and electors representing
diamotrically opposite principles.
The Republican is the only party
whose electors are certain to vote for its
candidates under any and all circum-
stances
The Republican is the only party that
tolorates no disunionists in its ranks,
North or South, and all of whose mem
bers promise implicit Difference to the
will of the majority, constitutionally
expressed.
In short, the Republican party is the
only one that takes a straightforward
course in this canvass-that does not
seek to cheat, to deceive, or to intimi-
date the people. Those who vote its
ticket know precisely who and what they
are voting for, and there is no other in
the field, of which the same can be said.

James B. CLAW.

The Louisville journal administers
the following rebuke to James B. Clay,
recreant son of a noble sire. This
James B. Clay, the man who sold his
fathers house to hucksters of "relics, -
has been stigmatizing Lincoln as an
Abolitionist. The Louisville journal
says:
eff Mr.. Clay is not old enough to
know from his own recollection, he
ought certainly to know from the testi-
mony of others, that his father, his inn
mortal father, was never a candidate for
the Presidency without being constantly
and remorselossly denounced by the
whole Democratic leaders and the whole
Democratic rank and file as an Aboli.
ZIONIST, thorough and life long Aboli-
ZIONIST. The recreant son ought GER
tainly to know, that the leaders and the
masses of the party with which he is
now acting, always relied upon this in
famous charge, not less than upon the
charge of bargain and corruption, to
work his illustrious fathers destruction.
And, knowing this, he should be espe-
cially careful how he hurls such a charge
at others, and most especially careful
how he hurls it at q man, Lincoln,
l0ho stood by Henry Clay in ereIy strug.
gle for nearly q quarter Of q century, and
until the Wustri0US siaieSmaH's death."

The Civil War in Syria-The Terri
bic RetributiOns in Damascus
Hanging of the Moslems.

The Beirut correspondent of the Bos-
ton Traveller writes from the former
city, on the 3Oth of August, as follows:
Syria is tranquil now, but the Moslem
population lies writhing in the firm
grasp of Fuad Pasha, who is acting the
part Of a true patriot and a lover Of
justice.
The execution, on the goth of Au-
gust, of the Commandcr-in-C Chief of the
Bashi Bazoucks, with IO9 Of his officers
and men, is a lesson to the native Mos
lem soldiery that they will never for
get-and proud, intolerant Damascones
must surely be somewhat humblcd, if
not entirely broken, by the sight of sew
eral of the chief Efeudis hanging dead
before their doors on the morning of
that memorable day.
That they should be executed simply
because they killed a few Christian dogs,
was doubtless a tremendous shock to
their religious sensibilities; but that
they should have been hung, actually
strangled, was, to the Moslem, something
terrible, for they never stranglo any
living creature. Fuad Pasha chose
this method of execution as an addi-
tional means of humbling the city
Beams wero thrown across from window
to window in the narrow streets, and
the criminals were drawn up by n rope
around their necks, and were left by the
eXecutoners to dangle and die in their
agony without any Of the usual aids
and appliances used in America for the
breaking of the neck and consequent
shortening of the doath-agonies of the
victim. Never was the naughty city
of Moslems so humiliated- never, in
the days of the Crusades, was the pride
Of the Moslems brought so low.
Hardly had the inhabitants Of this
Mussulman Sodom realized the full
weight Of their degradation, when the
city was again COnvulsed with agony at
! the announcement that 300 of the pris-
Oners, among whom were many Of the
wealthiost, most naughty and aristocrat-
ic Of their citizens, had been condemn
cd to hard labor for life, in the gal
loys at Constantinoplo. Intense was the
grief and rage of the followers Of the
Prophet, and especially of the wives
and relatives Of the condemned, who
tore their hair and rent their garments
in utter despair They were inconsola-
Bile, and their demonstrations Of grief
would have touched the hardest heart,
were it not for the horrible crimes they
had committed.
A few days ago the 800 consigned to
the galeys arrived at Beirut, handcuifed
in gangs, and guarded by Turkish sold
iers, who were under bonds for their
safe keeping
This extraordinary spectacle drew
crowds of Christians, some of whom
were refugees from Damascus, who gaz.
ed upon the manacled criminals with q
sad satisfaction Many of the condemn.
