that great General whom his soldiers
nicknamed "Old Reliable;" so is Phil.
Sheridan, and nearly every General of
the country who has made page of
the history of this war. l find a very
large share of the men who have OPP
posed us individually say it is right,
but they say they have got a great
prejudiced vote behind them, and they
must pander to that. l think it be-
comes statesman to speak the truth
to come out in advance of the people
and maintain what is right-and the
people will follow them. There is no
portion of our countrymen so ignorant
or preiudiced who will not do the right
when they see it clearly. Such is the
present condition of the country. l
think it is hopeful one, and it will be
better next year than it is now. The
men who emancipated four millions of
slaves and have established liberty and
Justice in the land are to have the
country next year. Whether Grant
will be the candidate of those men or
not, and l think he is very likely to
be, that candidate will be elected.
There are to-day three millions OF
these voters in the country who would
vote for Grant or Sheridan, or Thomas,
or Chase, or Colfax, or brave old Ben.
Wade, Applause, or any OF the true
and tried men who have carried the
country thro' the dark and gloomy
days of the last seven years. But no
man who opposed the country during
that war, no man who opposed eman-
cipation, no man who opposes the civil
rights of the emancipated races, no
man who opposes negro suffrage, will
ever be President of these United
States again. Applausc. If there
are any here tonight who desire to act
with the masses, and move with events,
and who wish to be with the successful
respectable and triumphant, | give
them this piece or advice. that they
join the equal suffrage party at the
earliest possible moment.

THE FACE 4 RECORD OF LIFE.

The record of a mans moral and in
tcllectuaI life is written in his face, in
such indelible and striking lines that
anybody tolerably well skilled in the
science of physiognomy can quickly
and accurately measure subtle, unseen,
character. There is an old maxim that
"blood tells" and it does reveal its
gentle Or boorish, its virtuous or vici-
Gus nature in physical movements of
the body and modes of expression, and
also in prevailing and related ideas.
So, likewise, character is perpetually
struggling against the bonds of re-
straint, and pushing out into the broad
daylight of actual recognition. BY
carful rcticencc at the right time, and
a sort of negative habit Of life, combin-
ed with shrewd management, man
may pass current for altogether more
than his actual value. But sooner or
later, the muscles of the face and the
speaking eye let out the secret of the
interior life.
1t is great study, these human
faces looking up from the audience
room, the social circle, the street, the
the car, beaming out an effulgence of
sympathy and goodness, or frowning
under the rigors Of disappointment, Or
flashing out defiance and contempt for
the sources of their discomfort. The
young man who aspires to nothing
higher than the character of univer-
sal "bruiser," may forget that his
coarse passions are all photographed
upon his face in such a manner that all
discerning people can read him through
at almost the first glance. We cannot
"see ourselves as Others see us" and
that explains away very much of the
impudence and swagger of the multi
tude, which pass for genuine energy
and life. Ifyou would know more of
an acquaintance than age, occupation,
capacity and temper--if you would in
spect the secret sources where he draws
supplies of impulse and of comfort
along life's toilsome and dusty path
way, look into his face and read the
whole elaborate story Of his strivings,
his loves and aversions, his triumphs
and failures. It's all there, locked up
in feshy characters, in the folds and
furrows made by the plough-share Of
time and toll, or the exhausting stimu-
lants of license and prodigality. We
literally turn ourselves inside out
through the face. The love, the COM
posure, the passion, the unrest, the
hatred and revenges, the strength and
the weakness, the angel and the beast
of our natures, all collect and come to
a focus in the face, and make disclos-
ures which no magical arts can conceal.
And it seems to us that when the
great Apostle said "scm, mems sins
are open beforehand, going before the
Judgment" he must have been looking
into the hypocritical faces Of the old
Scribes and Pharisees. Throughout
all her wonderful array Of diversity
and magnifcence, Nature abhors con-
cealment, and this accounts for, and
magnifes, too, the revelations of char
acter shining through the human face
divine.

WATERING PLACE SCENES.

"John Paul." in his letter to the
Springfield Republican, written from
Saratoga, narrates a scene there-part
of which he was-just as natural as
life itself:
But you should have seen the scenes
at the hotels /; young women and old
women rushing up and down the halls,
some screaming fire and some shouting
water, some in their stocking feet, and
and all in shocking fright. Verify,
'Twere worth ten years of peaceful life,
One glance at their array.
Seeing Arabella at the hop in the
evening, l could not believe that it
was the same young lady whom saw
hopping about the hall. Most of the
girls looked pretty in their robes dc
mutt, their bare little feet peeping out
beneath the embroidered edge like
mice, and pattering on the floor like
summer rain. But all don't "peel' SO
well. There was the Dowager Dun
derberg, under the shortest of canvas,
backing and filling, wearing and tack
ing, and altogether making the worst
weather that ever was seen. Her high
Quarter galleries worked and creaked,
and the seams kept opening till it
seemed a toregone conclusion that the
old craft at the next pitch would 60
down stern foremost. Had she but
run down her spanker, bowsed up her
| jib a bit, and shown staysail to the
wind, she'd rode out the rough wealth
er very comfortably, and could have
given any number of the lesser and
weaker vessels safe and sufficient pro-
lection under her ample lee.
You've never seen me comfort wo-
man, have you ? All, you should have
seen me on this occasion, telling them
not to be afraid, that / didn't believe
there was any fire. that if there was it
was mile or two off, that if it wasn't
mile or two off it wouldn't hurt any
body, that | was there and a whole
female seminary could find shelter on
my manly bosom, and that.
But you may say you thought | was
at the fire, putting that out. Well, so
1 was, but having got the flames under
control, | ran up in the Union to see
what could be done with the women.
You see my "hamc" was there and |
wanted to "subdue" her. As it is, l
l1atter myself that Ive rather got the
dead wood ON about one-half the wo-
men at the Union. | guess they won't
turn up their noses at me because Pm
poor and don't wear good clothes. l
guess / know thing or two about the
way their toilettcs are made up, and |
guess I'll blow on them if they don't
behave very pretty to me for the
future,

JUDGE HENRY W. WILLIAMS,

The following biographical sketch
of our candidate for Supreme Judge
has been carefully prepared, and was
delivered at public meeting held in
Pittsburg a few days since, by c. B. M.
Smith, Esq, 1t will be qualification
for every Union voter to have the
pleasure of supporting such an able
and pure minded gentleman. Read
the biography.
Mr.. Smith was received with rap
turous applause, and proceeded to de-
liver the following biographical sketch
-four worthy candidate. He said:
/ come here tonight, my fellow
citizens, to perform what is to me a
pleasant duty--to join with you in
giving our adherence to the platform
of principles adopted by the great
Union Republican party of this State,
at the Convention lately held in Will
Transport, and in manitesting our salts
faction and pleasure in the nomination
by that Convention, of our fellow-citi-
zen, Hon. Henry W. Williams, as a
candidate for election to the highest
judicial position of this Common
wealth.
While l shall express my cordial APP
proval of the principles enunciated in
that wise, moderate and patriotic creed
of political faith, which breathes, in
every line, a love for freedom and
human rights, and mixed with no de-
mand for vengeance, by saying that !
would hardly add to, or detract, one
word therefrom, l shall leave its dis
cussion to those able gentlemen who
may follow. and devote the brief time
allotted me upon this occasion in speak
ing ofthe personal, moral, political
and judicial character of our candidate
and it is, perhaps, fitting that should
do this, as l have known Judge Will
liams longer, and more intimately, than
any person in this house.
My acquaintance with him COM
menced in college in 1888, as class
mate, and since that time l have stu
died with him, taught with him, and
practiced in my profession with, and
under him. l have known him as 6
student, as teacher, as lawyer and a:
Judge; and what is more, during al
that time, 1 have known him as al
intimate, personal friend. l have
known him more thoroughly than ]
have ever known any other living
man, not excepting my own brother
and l say here tonight, in presence o
this large audience, that, even were
so disposed, 1 could truthfully speal
no i'll ofhim.
Judge Williams is ofthe good ole
revolutionary Wing stock, whicl
achieved our national independence il
1776, and from his ancestors he ha
inherited steady love Of liberty, in
dependence, freedom and national un
ion, which has been strengthened b,
the great events of these latter times
He was born in the beautiful valley O
the Connecticut-a State that has giver
birth to such men as Henry Baldwin
Walter Forward, Garrick Mallory ant
William Strong-and is now in tn
full prime and vigor of manhood
From the people and Of them, he ha

farmer, held with most New England

A French journal tells an ent

A FRENCH journal tells an enter
tanning anecdotc of the fidelity of a
porter to his charge. The Empress
Eugene recently presented herself at
the Isthmus of fSuez gate of the Expo
sition before the hour Of opening. The
porter refused to admit Her Majesty,
although she named NJ. de Lesseps as
her friend. "Ah! they all say thai" "
retorted the gatekeeper. The En-
press insisted that the great canal-maker
would instantly admit her were he
there, but could not prevail She
then played her last card-"But if l
were to tell you that l am the En-
press? ~ should not believe you" }"
was the rejoinder. A lady of honor,
however, at length convinced the por-
ter that the applicant was the Empress,
and then the gate opened. Some Off
cious person proposed to dismiss the
faithful man, but the Empress inter-
vened and saved him.

TWO TRAVELLERS,

I.
A man passed over the road
In the early day offspring,
When the grandest flower that ever bloom
ed
Was brightly blossoming.
And never word he spoke,
And his face was marble cold,
But millions of men above him wept
And millions of bells were tolled.
And the cities were draped in black,
And the towns were wrapped in gloom,
'For he is dead" the people said
"Who made the flower to bloom"
Down many aswar,hy face
Unnumbered tear-drops flowed.
"For he is gone" the bondman spoke
"Who lifted our weary load"
And they builded him tomb
Afar in the silent West,
And that beautiful flower that men call
Peace
Spread Its leaves above his breast.
III.
A man passed over the road
Ere the summer days were dead.
And the leaves of the flower that bloomed
in Spring
He trampled with ruthless tread
And many word he sp Ike,
And his arrogant face was flushed;
And laughed aloud with the noisy crowd
When the lcayes ofthe flower were crush
ed.
But down many swarthy face
Flowed tears Of bitterest pain,
"For he Is come"-the bOndman spoke
TO forge our chains again"
He must seek the the tomb some time
Afar in the silent west,
But will ever the flower which men call
Peace
Spread its leaves above his breast1

GOOD ADVICE.

Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty and put on airs,
With insolent pride of station
Don't be proud, and turn up your nose
AT poorer people, in palmer clothes,
But learn, for the sake of minds reposc,
That wealth's bubble that comes ant
goesl
And that all proud flesh, wherever it grows
Is subject to irritation,

American Heirs 10 Enelisl, Estates.

Every now and then some great es-
tate in England falls into chancery for
want of heirs direct, and there is a
great bother among the "collaterals"
in this country. The longer the mat
ter has been in litigation, of course,
the greater the number of claimants.
In such condition is the great Jen-
nings estate, and still more recently, a
discovery has been made Of a vast
property lying pe,du for century
past, to which the members of the
Brown family arc supposed to be heirs.
This estate is said to amount TO some
billions of dollars; but, then, think of
the infnitissimal division it must un-
dergo to give every member of the
Brown family his or her just proper
ton! The Browns are almost as nu-
merous-or rather innumerable-as
the well known family of Smiths. Sup
pose that the heirs expectant should
decide to 60 to England in a body to
see personally after their claim. 1t
would be an invasion! John Bull
would instantly imagine new and
formidable Fenian descent. The fleet
carrying these cousins" would be ta-
ken for modern armada. AS yet,
however, the paper from which the
notice of this windfall is taken reports
that only one hundred representatives
of the Brown family have gathered
together in Boston to "raise means to
prosecute their claim" The raising
of means must be the easiest matter of
all. Just let every true Brown sub
scribe a dime-or even penny-and
the lawyers fees and expenses will be
magnifcently provided for. Success
to the Browns.-NeU York Post.
