In Pittsburg, Pa, last week,
just after an old gentleman of
|seventy-six years had been mar.
ried to young woman OF twenty
three, he was observed counting
his fingers. The alderman asked
him if he was counting bow much
he intended paying for the job
The old fellow said no, but was
counting how many times he had
been married, and that this was on
ly the sixth. He soon left with
his bride, promising to return in
a few days and settle his bill.

For the information of honest con-

ry Of the proceedings of what is

At this precinct prior to tie war
not more than a dozen or fifteen

and for Conservative candidates.
They allege land ] know [ can

that for honesty and veracity
their characters are unassailable, J
that there were no white men
prfsentsave those interested in taxi
ing The ballots, and two or three
Radicals 'of the blacklist type ;
that the polls were surrounded by
negro DULLES: who menaced every.
body who limited at anything but
voting the one ticket. That the
polls seemed to them only to be O.
pened to the one ticket. That
every thing hurried through in
the most expeditions manner,
without giving time even to think,
much less TO act. That whilst
their certificates Of registration
were being examined, there sat OPP
posite the ballot-box one sergeant
Williams, Radical, with tickets
neatly folded, which he told them
to take and deposit in the box
opposite. That this was done in
a way that allowed them no time
to ask questions or even to open
their tickets. They allege that
neither of them knew then, or
know now what they voted for.
They only surmise from the sur
roundings being Radical, that they
must have voted the radical ticket.
One Of these men, who can read,
wished to open his ticket, but the
sergeant showed such impatience
in directing him to put it in the
box, that scarcely knowing what
he did, he deposited his ballot and
came home-both disgusted and in
ldignant at the shameless swindle
perpetrated upon them.

The New York Herald of the

The New York Herald of the
Goth inst. relates a remarkably ia
tai coincident, as follows:
On Saturday last Isaac Hall, a
baker, living at No. 70S Third
avenue, was buried. On the
Thursday preceding he was dri-
wing a horse and buggy through
Central Park, accompanied by a
lady friend, when the horse took
fright and run away, he being un-
able to control him. On turning
the east end of the Mall, he was
thrown out and instantly killed,
the lady escaping unhurt. On
Thursday, two weeks previous,
he was driving in the same buggy.
and, when near,Jones' Wood, the
horse ran away, throwing out his
wife who was instantly killed,
himself and little daughter escap-
ing unhurt. His wife was also
buried on Saturday.

Making Glass Eyes.

Ii is said that there are in New
York at least seven thousand peo-
pie who wear false eyes. The
manufacture of these eyes is done
entirely by hand, and is thus de-
scribed by the American Artizan
A man sits down behind a Jet
of gas fame, which is pointed and
directed as he wishes by a blow
pipe. The pupil of the eye is
made with drop of black glass
imbedded in the centre of the iris.
The blood we see in the white of
the eye is easily put in with red
glass while the optic is glowing
with heat like a ball of gold The
whole eye can be made inside of
an hour, and is ready to put in
The reader should know that it is
o thin glass shell, which is intend
ed to cover the stump of the blind
eye. After being dipped in water
this SHELLS slipped in place, being
held by the eyelids.
The secret of imparting motion
to it depends upon working the
glass eye SO that it will fit the
stump-if it is too large, it will
not move; if it fits nicely, it moves
in every particular like the natu-
raj eye, and it is quite impossible
in many cases to tell one from the
other. The operation is not in
the least painful, and those who
have worn them a number of
years feel better with them in than
when they are out.
A glass eye should be taken out
every night and put in in the
morning. In four or five years
the false eye becomes SO worn that
a new one has to be obtained
Some ladies who live at distance
from the mandatory, keep q box
of glass eyes on hand in case of
accident, for, besides wearing out
they will break under certain cir
cumstances, as when
Hates last lightning quivers from his eyes"

RADICAL EXTRAvIGANCE.- whole

was sixteen and a-half millions, while in
1867 it is estimated by the Treasury at forty.
seven millions, both being periods of peace.

therefore, costs the nation annually thirty
millions. Of this amount, Pennsylvania s
share is ut least one tenth, and her industry
must annually pay three millions Of dollars
to support policy that closes her woolen
mills and stops her factories.
In our State affairs, mismanagement, cor.
ruption and extravaganza are thelrule. In
1860, the whole amount of money approp,i.
ated and expended, independent of funded
debt and military expenccs, as shown by the
treasury, was nine hundred and aiaety-cigM
thousand dollars. In 1867, excluding the
same items, the Radicals appropriated and
expended one million three hundred and
seventy nine thousand dollars. In 1865,
excluding the same items, the Radicals ap.
propriated and expended two millions and
eleven thousand dollars. The reports the
Auditor General show these facts, and prove
that in six years of Radical rule our cash
expenses have more than doubled.-Egston

exactly the thing according to tho doctrine

The Next Step.

Failing now to superccdc the President of
the United States, by General Grant, the
Radical managers may now be expected to
push their impeachment conspiracy with
renewed vigor. Republican journals which
have heretofore hcsitatcl to follow the
Ashley Conovcr clique, are now giving in
their adhesion to it, while we hear of va.
rious members of the Rump Congress,
who, at the last session, were iudsposcd to
encourage the plot, as now falling in with
the clamor; and the clamor no doubt, will
grow louder and louder, as the time for the
.rcasscmbling of the Central Directory draws
near. This Radical party, are determined
to hold on to power, at all hazards. They
are afraid of the people, and hence, they do
not intend to wait till the regular President
ial election comes along, to obtain success
sor to Mr. johnson. That Presidential cleo
ton is some fifteen months remote yet, and
the people by that time, may be in no
mood to continue the Decentralization
party in power for another term Of four
years. Hence, they have concluded to steal
march upon the people, to see if, by the
process Of impeachment, they cannot put
Ben Wade or some other demagoguc of
that description in the Presidential chair.
That now would seem to be the programme.
The people themselves, meanwhile, can do
something to arrest it, and TO give the con-
spirators to understand that the making of
the President is their business, and not the
business of Rump Congress which has
about as valid a claim to represent, and
therefore, to speak and act for the people
that is, the whole people of the United
States, as it has to speak and act for the
people of Great Britain and Ireland. We
should like to have .he conspirators put
upon their trial, before the public, at
the coming autumn elections. If we can
ret judgment against them at the polls of
those States which elect in October, it is
pretty certain summary check would be
put upon the contemplated conspiracy, if
not the contemplated usurpation, in Dccem-
er.-N Y. Express.

''Tho Republican party never lied to the
people, but has redeemed every pledge il
made to them"
The above is from the speech Of the o..
ator of the Black and Tan Convention tha,
assembled in CoshoctOn last Thursday, and
resolved that white men were no better than
negroes.
"The Republican party never lied to the
peoplc!"
What promises did a Republican Con-
grcss make to the people Of the South in its
resolution of 1861?
What party prolcssed to be for the Union
and the Constitution, and destroyed both?
What party stated that the war would
cease when submission to the Constitution
was enforced?
What party proposed to be the champion
of liberty free speech and Tree press and
what party has wared upon these with the
bayonet? ..u.. ....
What party professed the pending Con-
stitutional Amendment us fnality, and
then sent armies into tho Southern States
to overthrow civil government
What party has made its record living
lie upon all its prctention of love for the
Union, the Constitution, civil liberty, law
and order?
"Never lie to the pcople!" Why the
Devil never had such harvest Of lies to
gather in as he has in the Republican party,
on which he has full bill Of sale.
''The Republican party never lied to the
people, but redeemed every pledge it made
to them."
The brazcn faced lie combodicd in that
declaration is enough to purch the lips of the
