Our Democratic friends are boi>terous in
their rcioicings over the result il California,
which is all very natural, since With the eS
ception of a spurgc last Spring over Con-
nccticut, they have not for nearly seven years
had a fair chance TO air their Lungs. One
special provocation to cheering seems to he
the admission by The TRIBUNE some days ago
that California had gone against us 1t is not
the fact, but the acknowledgment that cycites
their sulprise-the strange circumstance that a
newspaper can tell the truth, even when it is
just what such paper particularly regrets is
naturally matter of surprise to the menda-
cious Coppelhcad sort of so-called "newSpa-
"pcrs." We do not gludgc them the chance
for rejoicing yet we modcstly suggest that
they should hurry up the hunahS, for when
the actual figures from the Golden State are
known, We feel certain that the disposition to
shout will be materially abatcd

The difference and why.

Our opponents are indefatigable in
the use OF all and every means to
spread delusion among the masses.
We often hear Of thousands, tens of
thousands and sometimes hundreds Of
thousand of dollars being made up by
mammoth subscription aud stock clubs
TO establish Black Republican papers
in our cities, and to enable publishers
to afford them more cheaply, or of
larger size 1t is thus that ianaticism
excels cool-hcaded reason in zeal and
energy, while publications to sustain
special interests, to advocate schemes
to steal from the people by "Tariifp
and other thievish legislation, TO rob
the many of millions of dollars oftheir
savings, for the heneft of few favor
ed interests, are a necessary means to
distract and bewilder men minds SO
that they may dupe their victims, and
not be detected and defeated in their
designs-such publications are like
false lights set upon the sea-shore by
another class Of pirates. On the other
hand, publications in the interest of
the people at large have no such sup
port as special interests can well af
ford to supply their organs, and as
is ever free TO furnish but
must rely alone upon the spontane-
ous aid of all intelligent citizens in
common. 1t is thereforea double duty
of all such not only to subscribe for,
but also to extend the circulation Of
such publications as advocate equal
rights in'opposition to special interests,
and entire freedom for all in opposition
to the exactions of bigotry and fanati-
cism-a double duty, 10 encourge and
reward those who advocate and de-
fend their equal rights and interests,
and TO themselves, to avert their own
plunder and oppression.-MiddietoOn

Mother attempts to drOirsI
herself and ftCO Children.


Mr.. James Bath, Mary his wife, and
several small children, are living in
Millvile borough. They originally
came from England. Mr.. Bath is mi
ner and works in the coal mines of the
Cambria Iron Company. On last Sat
urday morning about one o'clock, he
arose from his bed to prepare TO go
to his work Che usually goes about
two o'clock in the morning.) His wife
got up and prepared breakfast, of
which they partook. Mrs B. goes in
to an adjoining room, the sleeping
apartment, and takes her two young
er children out of bed, one aged two
years and the other about six months
she wrapped her dress around them
and left the house carrying them
along. Her husband soon missed her
and starts out to find her, after look
ing in vain for her a short time, he
hears gurgling noise in the well, he
runs for his miners lamp, gives the
alarm TO the neighbors, and decends in
to the well here be finds his wife and
children in drowning condition. lie
gets a foothold in the rough stone
wall of the well, raises his wife's head
above the water and holds il between
his knees, takes a child in each hand
and again calls for help. Mr.. Parft,
a neighbor, arrives and takes the chill
dren out Of the well. A rope is fasten-
cd around the waist of Mrs. Bath, and
she is raised, the three are taken into
the house in an insensibIe condition.
They were then divested of their wet
clothing, wrapped in dry blankets,
rolled and manipulated until signs Of
animation returned
Mrs. Bath and the older child are
now fully restored, while the younger
child is in a critical condition, having
frequent spasms and in all probability
will not survive. The well is twenty
six and one-half feet deep, and there
is ten feet of water in it The walls
are rough and crooked and the diam
ter small, and had the children been
thrown down, or the mother jumped
down they must have in their decent
received severe confusion, but none
appear on their persons. Mrs B. says
she carried the children down in her
apron, which appears from the cir
cumstance to be the case.
There has been no reason assigned
why this woman should thus seek to
destroy her own and her children s
lives. Mr.. Saith is a sober, hard
working man, and his neighbors say
is kind to his family. 1t appears, how
ever, that at the store his wife had
drawn more than the amount of wages
coming to him, and further purchases,
for the time being, had been stopped.
The trouble of poverty may have been
an incentive cause, but more likely she
is insane.
This sad affair should forcibly bring
TO the minds of those, who are in the
clap of ease carcssed" that untold suf-
fering, privation and anguish is around
and about us, anI that little effort
made to relieve the sorrows and wants
ofthe poor would prevent crime and
bring relief and joy to many a woe
stricken and despairing heart. rt.-Johns-
torn Democrat.

A NEW GAME.-The Mobile Register
thus speaks of new game played by
the darkics in Mobile:
"FLy Loo."--Look out for the blue
tailed fy--keep your eye on your su-
gar lump-"Lor' bless your soul, sabc
yourself honey'--a new game has
turned up for the freedmen of leisure.
We hasten to lay it within their reach
1t is called "hy loo" and beats kino
and draw poker all hollow. 1t is very
simple, and can be played by any
number of darkies. The players all
put up stake, and after the pot is
made up, each one puts q lump of su.
gar on his tongue, and the one who
closes bis potato trap on the first fly
that lights on the sugar, ralSes down
the spondulix. Darkies may be seen
setting in the sun out West, playing
"hy loo," and their tongues hanging
out like so many yards OF red flannel.

thus concludes notice of the late

mourning for glory long since faded,
so sit we tonight by the fresh made
grave and mourn for one who was the
magic musician whose lightest strain

mony-soft, sweet, delicious harmony
filled our soul. Willis, farewell"

arh, following poem has been pronounced to !
,nsoualled, in its peculiar style, N the knglia
language
lam diving, Egypt dyingj
Ehbs the crimson liie-tide fast
And the dark, plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast
Let thine arms, 0, Queen, cnfoid me
Hush thy sobs and bow thine earj
Listen to the great heart-seerets
Thou, and thou alone must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legions
Bear their eagles high no more,
And nv wrecked and scattered galleys
strew dark Actium's fatal shore
Though no glittering guards surround me.
Prompt to do the masters will,
must perish like a Roman
Die the great Triumvir still
Let not Cesar's servile minions
Mark the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foernan's arms that felled him,
Twas his own that struck the blow
His, who, pillowed on thy bosom,
Turned aside from glorys ray
His, who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly threw a world away,
Should the base, plebeian rabble
Dare assail my name at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home,
Seek her; say the gods bear witness
Affairs, augurs, circling wings
That her blood, with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne Of kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian
Glorious sorceress Of the Nile
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the splendors of the smile
Give the Cesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel twine,
can scorn the Senate's triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thinel
lam dying, Egypt, dying
Hark tn insulting foeman's eryi
They are coming quick, my falehion-
Let me front them ere / die
All, no more amid the battle
Shall my heart exulting, swell,
Isis and Osiris guard thee
