About kissing.

OF all the immodest articles ever writ
ten, we do think that q gay old bachelor.
on kissing, is entitled to the palm. Oh
he is used to it, we will wager a new hat.
or course we cannot expect the ladies to
read this. Now, just hear that old fellow
20 on. La! don't he run on as though
he knew all about it? He says:
People will kiss; yet not n in q
hundred knows how TO extract bliss from
lovely lips, no more than they know
how 10 make diamonds from charcoal.
And vet it is easy-at least for us! First
know who you are to kiss. Don't make
q mistake, although q mistake may be q
good thing. Don't jump up like a trout
for a fly, and smack q woman on the neck,
on the ear. on the corner Of her forehead,
on the end Of her nose, or knock Oh her
waterfall. The gentleman should be q
little the ~tallest. He should have a keen
face, a keen eye, a mouth full OF express
sion. Don't kiss everybody. Don't sit
down to it; stand up. Need not be anxi-
Gus about getting into a crowd. Two
persons are plenty to corner and catch q
kiss more persons spoil the sport. Take
the left hand Of the lady in your right ;
let your hat go-any place out Of the way ;
throw the left hand gently over the shout
der Of the lady. and let the hand fall down
upon the right side toward the belt.
Don't be in a hurry ; draw her gently.
lovingly to your heart; her head will fall
l;oh,ly upon your shoulder-and q hand
some shoulder strap it makes. Don't be
in a hurry ; send q little life down your
left arm. Her left hand is in your right ;
lie, there be an impression to that. not like
the grip of a vice, but q gentle clasp, full
of electricity, thought and respect. Don't
be in a hurry! Her head lies carelessly
on your shoulder! You are nearly heart
TO heart! Look down into her half closed
eyes! Gently, yet manfully, press her 10
your bosom. Stand Arm. Be brave, but
dom. be in a hurry. Her lips are almost
open. Lean lightly forward with your
head, no, the body. Take good aim {; the
lips mee,-the eyes close-the heart opens
the soul rides the storm, TT 'ubles and
sorrows Of life-(don't be in q hurry
heaven opens before you - the world
shoots from under your feet as a meteor
flashes across the evening sky-(do not be
afraid) the heart forgets its bitterness
and the art of kissing is learned! No
noise, no fuss, no Auttering and squirm.
ing like hook-impaled worms. kissing
DON, hurt; it don't require a brass band
to make i, legal. Don't jab down on I.
beautiful mouth as if spearing for frogs!
DON, grab and frank the lady as If she
was a struggling colt. Don't muss her
hair, scratch down her collar, bite her
cheek, squizzle her rich ribbons, and leave
her mussed and rumpled. There. that will
do for once"

II BUT v

Nothing but leaves:
The spirit grieves over a wasted life,
Der sin committed while conscience slept,
Promises made but never kept,
Folly and shame and strife,
Nothing but leave.
Nothing but leaves;
No ripened sheaves, garnered Of lfe's fair grain,
We sow our seed. but tares and weeds,
Words, idle words, for earnest deeds,
Reaping, we ind with pain
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but lsayes:
And memory weayes no veil to hide tho past,
And Us we trace our weary way.
Counting each lost and misspsnt day,
Sadly we ind at last
Nothing but leaves.
And shall We meet the Master 50,
our withered leavosi
The Savior looks for perfect fruit,
We stand before Him sad and mute.
Waiting the word He breathes-
Nothing but leaves.

The testimony of Mr.. Stephens, OF
Georgia, is the most clear and trustworthy
Of any recently published. Mr.. Stephens
wal always against secession, although he
believed in the right, and his solemn warn
ings 70 the Southern people before the
fatal step was taken, were full Of the spirit
Of patriotism /; but he went into the re-
beliion, like Gen. Lee and many others,
under the influence Of the false idea that
the frs. and highest allegiance is due to
the State. Mr.. Stephens has seen his
prophetic warnings fulfilled in the desola-
ton of the South by war, and now he
deyotes himself to the work Of restoration
and healing with the same ~singleness oil
purpose that he displayed in the uuavaii-
ing attempt to avert the great catastrophe.
We shall make a melancholy mistake II
we do no, give u sympathy and aid to
such men as Mr.. Stephens, through whom

Population OGthe United
States i'm 1900,

In his recent diplomatic circular, the
Emperor Napoleon gives it as his opinion
that .one century hence the United States
of America will contain one hundred mill
ions of Inhabitants
This nation will contain one hundred
millions of inhabitants before the close of
this century, which is only thirty-four
years hence. For seven consecutive de-
cennial enumerations il has BSsn found
that the United States increased at the rate
of tiIirty-five percent every ten years, or
three per cent per annum compounded
In other words, the population of this
Union doubles once in every twenty-three
years. Our population was 81 100000 in
1860 In 1883 it will exceed GG,00O,000,
and in seventeen years thereafter, or in the
year 1900, the population will exceed l00,-
0O0,000 And this, too, without calculating
the effect of the annexation of Canada,
Mexico, Central America and the West In
dies which will all lie incorporated in the
American Union long before the close of
this century. With these accessions of
population, and territory to sustain popu-
lation. the number of inhabitants in the
United States of America on the first day
of January, A. ID. 1900, win not be a soul
less than one hundred and forty millions,
or equal TO the then population of France,
Prussia, Great Britain and Spain, and will
possess warlike resources far greater than
all of them combined. The French
Emperor boasts that France and Algeria
contain almost forty millions ofinhabitants.
Four wears hence the United States will
contain forty millions, without the Canadas
and fortv-four millions with them. a cen
fury hence this Republic will contain more
population. wealth and power than all the
nations of Europe rolled into one.-Cnieago

Mr.. Editor, did see wagon containing
ladies representing allegorical figures, such
as Justice, Hope, Fidelity, among which

The Connecticut Election.

Sufficient returns have now been received
to show that the recent town elections in
Connecticut have resulted in handsome
Republican victory. The fusion of the
Copperheads and rations Republicans to
gain control of the town offices has been
overwhelmingly defeated. In almost all
the towns thus far heard from, the Repub-
lican majority has largely increased, show
ing that Union voters are being made in
Connecticut, and that the party is still
marching on In some of the towns local
diSsensions have given the Copperheads a
few temporary crumbs of comfort, but
those towns are the exceptions Every
where the tide of Repubiicanism has risen
beyond the last high water mark, and next
spring we may look out for freshet.-
About one hundred and forty Of the one
hundred and sixty-three towns of the State
held their elections on Monday last. OF
one hundred and mime towns, sixty-seven
foot up Republican and thirty-six Copper
head majorities. The Republicans have
gained twenty towns and lost four, which
shows handsome gains for the Republican
party. The principal heavy gains for the
Republicans are in New Milford, New
London, Southington, Danbury, NorwaIk,
Seymour, Derby, Woodbridge, Guilford.

Y NATIONAL THANKSGIVIN
Proclamation by the Presf-
dent.

Almighty God, onr Heavenly Father
has been pleased to vouchsafe to us as a
people, another year of that national life
which is an indispensable condition of
peace, security and progress. This year
has moreover been crowned with many pc
culiar blessings. The civil war that has
so recently been among us has not been
anywhere re-Opened; foreign Intervention
has ceased to excite alarm or apprehension;
intrusive pestilence has been benignly nit
igated; domestic tranquility has been inn
proved; sentiments of Cancellation have
largely prevailed, and affection of loyalty
and patriotism have been widely renewed.
Our fields have yielded quite abundantly,
our mining industry has been richly re-
warded, and we have been allowed to ex-
tend our railroad system far into the interi-
or reccsses of the country, while our COM
merce has resumed its customary activity
in foreign seas. These blessings demand
national acknowledgment
Now, therefore, /, Andrew Johnson
President of the United States, do hereby
recommend that Thursday, the oath day OF
November next, be set apart and observed
everywhere in the several States and Ter
ritories of the United States. by the people
thereof, as day ofthanksgiving and praise
to Almighty God. with due remembrance,
that in His temple doth every man speak
OF His honor
recommend also, that on the same oc-
casion we do humbly and devoutE implore
Him to grant to our national councils and
to our whole people that Divine wisdom
which alone can lead any nation into the
way of good. In offering these national
thanksgivings, praises and supplications,
we have the Divine assurance that the
Lord remaineth king forever. Them that
are meek shall He guide in judgment; and
such as are gentle shall He learn His ways.
The Lord shall give strength to His people
and the Lord shall give to His people the
blessings of peace.
In witness whereof. have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington the
eighth dav of October. in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and six

THE PLOT THICkENS.

heterogeneous Fropounded by the
President to the Attorney General
-FOrcible Recognition of Southern
Congressman Forcs h allowed.
PHILADELPHIA, October l9.-The Phiia-
delphia Ledger has received the following
important despatch:
WAsHINGToN, October l0.-The Presi-
dent has Just sent in to the Attorney Gen
eral the following questions, and requested
that response to them be returned in
writing.
+ First-Is the present Congress, composed
of membcrs from the Northern States alone.
such a Congress as the Constitution re-
quires, or is ii an illegal and unconstitution-
al assemblage?
Second-Would existing circumstances
Justify the President i'm sending his next
annual message to an illegal and unconsti-
tutiOnal assemblage. pretending to be the
Congress of the United States?
Third-Does that clause in section fifth
of the first article of the Constitution,
which makes each House the Judge of the
election returns and qualifications of its
own members, give to the present Congress
the right to exclude the members from
ten States, or to impose dishoDorable or UNI
constitutional terms upon their admission?
F0urth-DOes the Presidents oath of of
fee require him to enforce those provis-
ions of the Constitution which give to
each State an equal right of representation
in Congress? Article LIST. section I'd.
Section 3D. article 9Th, last clause.
Fifth-What steps do the Constitution
and his oath of Office require the President
to take in order to secure the aSsemblage
of Constitutional Congress?
Upon the reply that may he made by the
Attorney General to the above, the Presi-
dent. there is reason to believe, has deter
mined to take his stand. The questions
put to the Attorney are all the more i'm
portant when taken in connection with the
bold utterances of the President at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, declaring that the
present was only on assumed Congress,
and not the Congress the Constitution call
cd for. and also in connection with similar
declarations. though less pointed, that fell
from his lips prior to his return to the cap
ital. From these utterances it is clear that
the Executive has fully made up his own
mind that the Thirty-Ninth Congress was
not legal body. He now asks the opinion
of the Attorney General upon this grave
and deeply mOmentous subject, and when
il is given, he will govern himself accor-
dinghy
Ii is-not difficult 10 foreshadow what the
response of Mr. Stanberry will be; and
that he will chime in fully with the
opinions of the Executive, as already ex-
pressed, there seems to be no doubt.

The Result I'm MARSHALL.

Let no true Union man feel disheartened
by the result in Marshall county. We own
that our expectations have not been fully
realized, still we can say with good grace
that we are steadily gaining upon our oppo-
nents and that triumphant future is close
at hand. We have reason to indulge in
the most hopeful anticipations. The prin-
ciples we advocate, based as they are upon
the sure foundation of right, commend
themselves to all who love mercy and do
justly. We have powerful influences CON
tinually working in our favor. In the
school room, the church and at The moth
ers knee our principles are being dissent
mated and taught. In every book Which
alludes to the history ofthe last five years,
we may look for our completeyindication
The damning record of our opponents will
! blacken under the eye of succeeding gene
rations, and thousands who now follow
them, deceived by false cries and appeals
to prejudices, will soon desert this most
hideous apparition of the age, this monster
loaded with treason, treachery, and the
blood of the innocent.
, We earnestly exhort our friends to relax
no effort for the good cause. Keep the
watch-fires of liberty burning brightly
. Never fail to drop the right werd at the
right time. See that your enqdiring neigh
Dor is supplied with the right kind of read
ing matter. Educate the young in thefight

who befriend him and seem interested in
his welfare. Remember, that the nearer

our arguments will be, but avoid acrimoni=

COpperhead Faith.

1t was expected by all parties that the
arrangements made to divide election
boards would be rigidly adhered to in all
localities, and 80 it was, we doubt not,
wherever the Trustee was a Republican,
but here things were done up in the old
style, but one Republican clerk was allow
ed on the board. To be sure, the Trustee
signed the arrangement, but that made no
difference. His party would never submit
to act fairly, and they believe it right to
make use of every means to insure success.
We are not prepared to charge that any
fraud was committed in Center township,
but we DO say that there was no means to
prevent one, and we would have been
better satisfied had the agreement been car
ried out We know now what estimate to
place upon our Copperhead Trustee who
thus ,wantonly violates his pledge.

The Great Demonstration for
the Union,

The election has come and gone, and the
result unknown at the present writing)
will not be affected by anything we may
say about the tremendous outpouring of
the people on Monday last. Yet the eff
forts put forth TO make it what it was, es-
pecially on the part of the ladies, deserve
notice more lengthy than we shall have OPP
portunity to give. The occasion will long
be remembered by old and young, and it is
conceded by fair-minded men of both par
ties that the display was the grandest and
the procession the largest and most impos-
ing ever seen in this county. 1t filled Mich
igan and Center streets from Laporte to
Jackson streets, and when the advance had
returned to the river bridge it was found
necessary to mass the cavalry in order to
get all in that space. The gay colors, the
fair women and brave men, the music and
the shouting combined to dazzle the eye
and make glad the heart. Our descriptive
powers would fail in any attempt to give
an idea of the display, and we shall not try
it. The Union ladies of Plymouth worked
hard and successfully to honor the cause
for which their husbands, brothers and low
ers had established in the field Bourbon
noble and true-fairly eclipsed herself.
Polk township covered herself with glory,
and as we gazed upon lovely figure, ar
rayed in crimson, we could scarcely restrain
ourself from appealing, in the language of
the bard:

If any one doubted. that Democracy is
the same here as in Memphis and New Or
leans, the proof came well nigh being fur
nished on election day. That the coward
" spirit of brutality and assassination ami
mates them here as elsewhere does not adj
nit of doubt, and but for the display of
strength and pluck made by our friends we
would have to record desperate riot in
which the scenes of New Orleans would
have been re-enacted- The pretext that
was to be used was the presence of an in
fiuential Fenian, from Chicago, personal
friend of our candidate for Representative
Mr.. Hurlbut, and firm believer in the doc
trine that if Lishmen would hope for sue
cess of the cause of their native land they
must secure the earnest and active sympa-
thy of the friends of universal liberty in
America. They never can hope for this so
long.as they vote and act with party which
has ever been in the interest of slavery, a
party which was so utterly disloyal during
the war that its triumph now would be re-
garded by all good men assthe greatest ca
lanity that could befall the nation He
came simply to persuade his eOuntrymen
to seize the opportunity of linking Ireland's
destiny with Americas. He abused no
one, but only availed himself of the right
of a citizen of the Republic, TO discuss the
questions of the day in temperate and
candid manner. The name of this genuine
lover ofliberty is JohnPOS HOdnett, and
he claims to have been one of the brave
men who fought and defeated the Queens
Own at Ridgeway. lie had every appear
ance of an intelligent and accomplished
gentleman, but even this man was marked
as victim of COpperhead intolerance
He was threatened, together with our fell
low-townsman, Bernard Rider, with per-
sonal violence for daring to oppose Andrew
johnson, who had falsely denounced him
and his compatriots as '.evil disposed per-
sons" At the polls a lot ofruffians, Kissed
on by Ed VanValkenburgh, Dick William
son, and other prominent COpperheads,
gathered around the two patriotic Irish
men. Cries of ''go for him" ''clean him
out" ride him on rail, = and other hostile
termined front shown by the Union men
prevented bloody riot, for had one blow
been struck it is easy to see what would
have followed.
