[From the Piqua Democrat.l
Jubilee Mt TrOy.

The great Democratic jubilee at Troy on
tuesday evening of last week was grand
-auccess. Every arrangement was COM
,lete, and the people were out in force. 1t
Has undoubtedly the largest meeting that
AS been held in Troy for many years. And
hen the spirit that pervaded the Democ-
acy! Every Democrat seemed to feel that
he country was in process of salvation,
was happy himself and wanted every body
.lse to enjoy themselves. There was no
te1fishIess; no insulting the fallen enemy.
And SO it should be with all Democratic
Victories siirtfs --t s,-4 -t.s-g 7ssa-- s-..g.
On the public square there was erected a
auge pile of wood, over four or five barrels
If tar, which made one of the most splen-
lid bOnfires ever beheld in this part OF the
country. At six o'clock, j. F. Mckinney
arrived on the train from the North, and
was met at the depot by large concourse
of people and a band of music. Hewas es-
corted to quarters at the Morris House. At
$40 G. L. Vallandigham arrived CD the
train from the South. He met with the
enthusiastic reception that greets him ev-
erywhere., Preceded by the band of mu-
sic and followed by one immense mass of
people he was escorted to his rooms at the
Morris House. After 2 few minutes rest
the speakers were conveyed to the stand
greeted on the public square when Mr..
Yallandigham was introduced as the first
speaker. He spoke for half an hour in his
usual style, and amiist the shouts of a tru-
1y jubilent audience. We will not attempt
q report of his speech, nothing short of a
full report could do it any thing like justice.
Alter Mr.. Vallandigham retired, Mr.. Nc
Kinney was loudly called for, and was in
troduced as the next speaker. He spoke
for three quarters of an hour on the results
of the recent elections and the prospects
for the future. and was frequently inter-
ruDted bV shouts of apDlause from the an.
dience. Mr.. Mckinney can we'll be proud
OF this fiattering reception by the Democ-
racy OF his own county. - ,sg.-.f .,.,
After the speaking, there was ball and
supper given at Dyes Hall, which was par
ticipated in by the gay and festive" until
the we sma' hours. .
Taking all in all, there have been few
pleasanter meetings anywhere, than the
jubilee at Troy. Weheard many old Dem
'ocrats say that it was the bappiest time in
their lives. Long willthe Troy jubilee be
remembered.

Mark Twain ON the stub.Hunt.
ing Nuisance in Isaly,

Never smoke any Italian tobacco. Never
do it on any account. 1t makes me shud-
der to think what it must be made of. You
can not throw an OLD cigar ''stub" down
anywhere, but what some seedy rascal will
pounce upon it on the instant. l like to
smoke good deal, but it wounds my SEN
sensibilities to see one of these stub hun
ters watching me out OF the corners of his
hungry eyes, and calculating how " long my
cigar Is going to last. IT reminded me too
painfully of that San Francisco undertake
er, who used to go to sick beds with his
watch in his hand and time the corpse
One of these infamous stub hunters fol-
lowed us all over the park last night, and
we never got a smoke that was worth q
cent. We were always moved to appease
him with the stub before the cigar was half
gone, because he looked so viciously anx-
ious. He regarded us as his own legitimate
prey, by right of ofldiscovery, I think, be-
cause ne drove off several other profession
ais who wanted to take stock in US. Now,
they must chew up those old stubs, and dry
and sell them for smoking tobacco. There
fore. give your custom to other than Ital-
ian brands of the article.

Fading koyalty.

Queen Victoria, it appears, is fast losing
her popularity with the English people.
She is now, commonly spoken of by per-
sons of all ranks, and of very different po-
litical views, in language which contrasts
most painfully with the terms in which we
Americans have for years been accustomed
to allude to a Queen whom we had been
taught to regard as a :. model of the do
mestic virtues" II the Prince of Wales
was capable of forming political party,
Marlborough House might very we'll
now become what leicester House used to
be in the days of George III. and Frederic
a pouting place OF princes" But the
Prince of Wales has no hold OF his own on
any party, perhaps none on any class in
England; and if the cloud which at pres
ent unquestionably rests over the Queen
darkens instead OF being dispersed, the
Prince is at least as likely to pay the pen
atty of his moIher's loss of influence as he
is to redeem the monarchy from that dis
repute" which in our days kings can only
brave at the cost of their crowns. 80 ~

Roman Soldiers.

The Roman soldier was trained to march
twenty miles q day, under a burden of
eighty pounds; yea to swim rivers, to
climb mountains, 70 penetrate forests and
was taught that his destiny was to die in
battle. He expected death. He was ready
to die. Death was his duty, and his glory.
He enlisted in the armies with little hope
Of revisiting his home. He crossed seas
and deserts and forests. with the idea of
try. His pay was only a denarius daily,
equal to about sixteen cents of our money.
Marriage was discouraged or forbidden.
He belonged to the state, and: the state was
exacting and hard. He was reduced to abb
ject obedience, yet he held in his
nana nirs. 'ns And o'SS however insignifi-
cant was the iegionary as man, he gained
Importance from tie great body with which
he was identified. He was the servant and
the master of the state. He had an intense
esprit de corps. He was bound up in the
glory of his legion. Both religion and
honor bound him to his standards. The
was the object of his fondest devotion.
Nor was it possible to escape the penalty
of cowarGice or treachery, or disObedience.
He could be chastised with blows by his
centurion his general could doom him to
death. Never was the severity of militsry
discipline relaxed. Military exercises were
incessant, in winter as in summer. In the
midst of peace the Roman troops were IA
miliarized with the practice of war.
1t was the spirit which animated the Ro-
man legions and the discipline to which
they were Injured which gave them their ir-
resistible strength. When we remember
that they had not; our firearms, we are sur
prised at their efficiency, especially in taxi

The police, Monday night, in search
through that part of the city in the West
Union suburb, known as "Contraband
Quarters" learned some startling facts as
to the manner in which these negroes live.
All of the Inhabitants of the quarter indi-
Gated were formerly slaves, and most of
them are from the Kentucky counties, bor-
deripg on the Ohio river below Louisville.
In one house visited, consisting of two
rooms about twelve feet square,, the police
found six families, with an aggregate of
twenty-three persons, men, women and
children. It was late at night when this
house was entered, and its dense population
had retired to bed-nO, not to bed, but to
pallets on the floor. There they lay, mixed
