A Tale With a Moral,

Wendell Phillips, i'll his speech at the
Cooper institute, New York, on Thurs
day evening, related the following, which
is the best illustration of the Presidents
conduct with regard to the elections that
we have seen. The President should be-
ware of the ultimate fate of the bear:
81 do not fear the President Fear
him? No, never read one of his speech
es, | never heard of one of his acts that
was not reminded of a story have read
OF the manner the Russian peasants on
the outermost provinces of Russia have
of killing the bear. These peasants are
too poor to buy muskcts and the bears
hide Is lmprevious to any arrows they
can make, SO the hunters practice upon
the bears credulity. The bear loves hon
ey and will do anything to obtain it
So they 60 to an empty bees nest and
tasten a peg above hole where the bees
have built, and from this peg they hang
cannon ball or large stone, and when
the bear comes to push his head in for
the honey he moves the stone and it
comes back upon him with force. Angry
at the blow he gives it another toss and
it returns on him with stronger force
He raises himself again and in his rage
he pushes the moving pendulum with
greater strength, but back it comes with
additional momentum, when he swings
around the. whole circle, to use q late
phrase. Laughter Well, now, Yer
mont was a good blow, but maine was
better. Ohio was appalling, but Indiana
was terrific, and Pennsylvania was set
tier. Great laughter When Massa
chusetts, and New York, and Illinois
and all the rest Of the States swing in the
circle will have no fear of that individual
obstacle Laughter. |"

A Shocking Tragedy.

A dreadful tragedy occurred on the highway
near Oiterville, Cooper Co., Mo-, few days
ago. Two young men named Wilson and Har-
per had he en- paying their addresses to Miss
Brown. Wilson was the envious recipient OF
the young lady 5 favor, but The parents we're
strenuously opposed to her choice, and favored
Harper. On Sunday, the 18th, Wilson and Miss
B. determined to make an end to the matter
by getting married, and starting for Ottervllle
they arrived at the place about eleven or twelve
O'Clock that night, and proceeded TO the resi-
dence of Esquire Dempsey, who alter some
hesitency performed the marriage ceremony
The couple then returned to the house of q
friend some two and half miles distant.
The next day Harper followed them. Arriv-
ing in town, he learned that they were married,
and determined on vengeance. After drinking
until evening he left Ottervile in the direction
Wilson and his vile had gone. When about
two miles distant from the town. he met them
on the way 10 a relative. both riding one horse
Harper rode up to them and drawing his rovol-
ver on Wilson, remarked, "You are dead
man" Tlis pistol snapped three times, during
which Wilson, being unarmed, jumped off his
horse and ran to the brush, followed by Harper.
Wilson was wounded and overtaken several
hundred yards from the road, and after being
shot down was beaten over the head with re-
volYer until life was extinct The head and
features were woefully mutated and presented
on discovery of the body next morning most
heart -rending spectacle of human barbarity.-
Harper's whereabouts can not be discovered.
The horse rode by Harper belonged to Mr..
Brown, father of the young lady. Mr. Brown
has been arrested as accessory to the murder OF
Wilson, and released on bail.

- PENNsYLvANIA.-General Geary may
not unfairly be ranked as new man in
the politics of the State. He has never
held Office in it; at least none of promi-
nence and during the war was away,
honorably engaged in the military en-
ployment of the country. lie owes his
nomination and election to the Governor
ship not at all to cliques and intriguants,
but to his personal character and public
services The eyes of the loyal men of
the State turned to him because he was
not battered in politics, and because his
conduct during the whole period of the
war had inspired confidence and com
manded respect There were competit-
ors in the field against him for the nomi-
nation, who, under ordinary circumstan-
ces would have been formidable. Com
binations were formed among politicians
to secure the choice of one or another of
these competitors. There were points
of time at which these combinations
promised to be all-powerful but they
came to naught, not by treachery, but
simply because the popular current set
strongly in favor of tho General, and
could not be overcome. -ft-f
In the canvass that followed the en-
thusiasm awakened by Gen. Geary drew
all factions and all interests in the Re
publican ranks heartily into his support.
The issue and the man We're both too
great to admit of jealousies, heartburn
ings and alterations. All divisions of the
party have contributed equally, and with
like enthusiasm to his election, have a
common interest and pride in the success
.ofhis administration. .iu
The election demonstrated to the sat
isfaction of the President that neither
MIR. Cowan nor the Conservatives APP
pointed to Office upon his recommenda-

Croaking and Crops.


One of the most marvellous things in
modern times is the fact that the people
of the United States have not literally
starved to death. Regularly every fall
and winter there are direful reports of the
scarcity ofprovisions. There is no wheat;
no corn; no buck&heat, no rye; no any
thing. Prices are advanced as though
famine was absolutely impending. Yet
nobody is famished. There is always
enough and to spare. Sometimes it hap
pens that before new crops are gathered
there is grain enough left to last full
year. This makes no difference with the
croakers. They are so accustomed to
lackrymation and groanings they cannot
desist. Like hired mourners in oriental
countries, it is their vocation to bewail,
and they would be miserable if thrown
out ofthat employment. Perhaps they
are less to be censured than the multi
tudes who foolishly accept their dolorous
account as authentic. 1t is not easy to
get'up an actual famine in this country.
There is so much of it; such length and
breadth such diversities of soil, climate
and production; that a general failure is
impossible. In spots, here and there, a
particular crop may be damaged or meas
urably fail; but on the whole, there is al
ways enough, not only to 'keep the
guant wolff from eYerybody's door, but
to stop even the mouths ofcroakers and
speculaters.
