All Along VIRGIN had been de-
nouncing the increase of salary as a
steal, and if elected, to have been con
sistent, would have been bound TO
urge its repeal. Instead Of that,
however, the attempted to use it in
advance as a corruption fund to buy
votes. The silly trick produced no
effect except to cause Republicans to
feel grateful that man cabable of
such folly had left their ranks and
allied himself with the copperhead

Since the defeat of Thursday,
the leading Copperheads of Chicago
have proclaimed on the streets their
determination to support negro suf-
frage, and to out-radical the Radi-
calls in the future. This reminds us
of one of the many wise sayings of
Mr.. Justine Butterield, whom the
older inhabitants of Chicago will re-
member as lawyer of great ability,
who unfortunately got mixed up, in
the public mind, with the celebrated
Hartford Convention, and had the
reputation of opposing the war of
1872. This made him SO unpopular
that he was unable to get elected to
the smallest office. When hostili-
ties with Mexico broke out, some
one asked him if he was in favor of
the war, to which he promptly re-
piled ain favor of the war? Sir

A Praying Lunatic in a Railway
Carriage.

AT Hanwell, England, recently, 9
young lady was put into train alone
to go to London. AS the train was
on the point OF starting, n gentleman
jumped up and exclaimed, "This car.
riage is too heavy, and thrust be igh
ened, and straightway his carpet
bag disappeared out Of tho window
He sits still few minutes, when he
begins again, and this time his coat
and waistcoat followed his bag.
After little while he said, "Let
us pray for the Duke of Gloucester.
Down they go on their knees. the
poor girl, only seventeen, too tligh-
tened to do anything but to obey.
When that was done, they prayed
for the Duke of York, and then for
another-in fact, through whole
string OF dukes then they sat down,
the young lady frightened out OF
senses.
After few minutes he begins
again at won't do; | can't stand
1T the train is too heavy either YOU
or | must get out | don't want to,
SO you must 60" The girl, in des
pair says, "But we have not prayed
for the Duke Of Northum berland y
"Ah, no more we haye." Down they
go to their knees, when luckily the
train stopped at a station, and the
young lady called the guard, when
it was discovered that the gentleman
was lunatic escaped from Han
well.

About half Of the republicans voted

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OLD AND
New CoRN.-A good illustration of
the unsubstantial nature OF the corn
raised this year was given US the 9th.
err day by farmer. He said he had
some forty hogs which he was feed
ing, and in the morning was accus-
toned to throw them a y bushel bas-
ket full Of old corn. This would sat
isfy the cravings Of their appetitcs
for about three hoars. On several
occasions, by way Of experiment, be
filled the same basket five times full
of new corn, aud threw it TO the
same porkcrs. In less than the usu-
al time they would be squealing for
more. This would make difference
Of at least FIVE to one in favor of old
CORN Witness.

THE FUR BUsINEss.-The New
York Journal of Commerce reports
that the traffic in "skunk skins
amounts to quite a handsome sum
annually. The article in question,
however, is by no manner of means
sold as skunk skin, because in this
case it is self-evidcnt that a ''rose by
another name would smell as sweet,

gsrThe Illinois States Zeffuj

Bsy4Thc Illinois States Zeitung
speaking Of the negro suffrage article
of the Chicago Times, says:
This attempt to rescue the Demo
cratic party from ruin comes too late
The means which the Times proposes
are not sufficient to work salvation,
even if salvation were possible
Thus the Times does not propose uni
versal suffrage, but qualified suffrage
for the freedmen. In other words it
declares war against the democratic
doctrine of universal suffrage and
will have it depend upon intelligence
of property qualification" aY
The Zeitung holds that going for
half the truth will never save a sink :

A. T. Stewart and w. B. Astor

The Boston J0mnaPS New York
correspondent says of A II. Stewart
de seldom looks at Il subscription
paper. With him begging is at a
distance. He has little sympathy
with vagraney. Men and women
who seek his presence seldom gain
much by an interview if money is
the object. Indeed it is very difficult
to gain access to him in any way
He is intensely devoted to his bust
ness, and works more hours probably
than any merchant in New York.
lie controls his own affairs with
despotic sway. His partners have
no control over the business, but are
interested merely in the profits He
buys and sells as he pleases without
consulting any one. But, on great
occasions, the donations of Mr.. Stew
art are princely. He proposes now
to devote millions to build houses for
the poor. If the city refuses to give
the site he will still carry out his
plan.
The same writer says of Mr.. AS
tor: Unlike Mr.. Stewart; William
b. Astor is always accessible. His
rooms are on Prince street, q dooror

same that were occupied by his IA

A person asking for Mr.. Astor is di-
rccted atonce to the rear room. At a
common desk, crowded with papers,
sits a German looking man, about
seventy, heavy moulded, tall and
stout. His eyes, which are small,
with an expression bordering Oh
stupidity, are fastened on the visit.
or and Mr.. Astor waits his utterances.
He wastes no words. His answers
are yes or no, with an air that ad-
mits of no debate. All the day long,
from ten to five, Mr.. Aston sits in his
Office and sees all corners. He is

more closely to their calling. They
are modest, retiring, and without
affectation. John Jacob is tall, large
heavily built, with sandy hair and
complexion resembling his father.
He went to the field in 1861, and did
good service for the national cause.
William b., Jr., is tall and slim, with

Coon ADvIcE-If the following
suggestions were faithfully lived up
to, there would be far less trouble in
the world: He who thinks better
Of his neighbors than they deserve,
cannot be bad man, for the stand
ard by which his judgment is form
ed is the goodness of his own heart.
1t is the base only who believe all
men base, or in other words like
themselves. Few, however, arc all
evil. Even Nero did a good turn to
somebody, for when Rome was re-
ioicing over his death, some loving
hand covered his grave with flowers.
Public men are seldom or never fair,
| y judged, at least while living.
However pure, they carnot escape
calumny; however incorrect, they
are sure to find enlogists. History
may do them justice but they rare.
" get it while alive, either from
friends or foes"

EGYPTIAN DIsCoy EBIEs.-Profess0r
Unger the Yiennose botanist and
palHontologist, has recently publish
ed some remarks on the bricks of the
ancient Egyptians, especially those
of the Pyramid of Dashour, which
vas built about three thousand four
hundred years before our era. One
of them being examined through the
microscope by the Professor. he dis
covered that the mud Of the Nile, ont
of which it was made, contained not
only a quantity of animal-vegetable
matter, but also fragments Of many
manufactured substances, whence
VIC may conclude that Egypt must
have enjoyed high degree Of civil
cation upward of five thousand
years ago. Professor Unger has
been enabled by the aid Of the mi
eroscope, to discover in these bricks
a great number Of plants which at
that time grew in Egypt. The chop
ped straw clearly disccrnible in The
body of the bricks confirms the de-
scription of the manner of making
the latter, such as we find in Hero
I dotus, and the Book of Exodus
