"FIGURATIvE" GAINs.-Sufhcient of
fetal returns have been received from
the coast of Oregon, of which we are
whom, to make it evident that quite a
number of staunch Seymour and Blair
men are "gone in on all the thousand
majority wagers on this State and that
even one hundred majority wouldn' t
have much show to win-and this is
about all that is certain with regard to
the figures. We are inclined to believe
that it was pretty generally known
throughout the State, that Seymour and
Blair acere the Democratic candidates for
President and Vice President, and that
the unterrifcd went to the polls on the
Sd, and flung in their votes, perfectly
reckless as to the probable cost, although
there are instances on record, where par
ties who were welded TO the s'tiIne- hon
ored principles" didn't get to the polls
until the next day, owing to the amount
Of befunslement taken into their cali
mcntary canals" the day previous. These
little befunglements on the part of about
eleven hundred of the ''unwa>hed" only
proves (according to Feeble Brown and
his satellitcs), that the party that runs
the Legislature has increased unprece-
dentedly since June, and that at the same
ratio of increase, in yearly instalments,
the Black Republicans will not be able
to carry Oregon for Grant, or any other
man they may nominate, by much over
four or five thousand votes, in 1872.
This thought is very consoling to those
who ventured and lost several two dollar
gold and a half pieces, on the assurance
of these Democratic ink-slingers, that
Oregon would give Seymour and Blair
fifteen hundred majority and it encour-
ages these self same ink singers to renew
the battle against the "bloody abolition
ists," assured by the result of the late
election, of ''bright and glorious future
for Democracy" What luxury it is
to be always on the winning sidc-some
sides What happy and contented dis
positions What unanimity in figures. :.
All gains and no losses; and yet these
g bloody minded, Il, istocratic moDgrels,"
insist on taking in" the stakes. Their
figures (these "mongrels') are undoubt-
edly wrong, radically wrong, but they
can't be made to ''see. it in that light"
Well. now we feel like hurrahins for
such unprecedented Democratic gains,
and we hope they will meet just such
gains forevermore. And while the
valiant inkslinger is preparing like the
hero of Chickahominy, to give his most
"terrible blows in the dark hour of de-
feat let the brethren sing that stirring
melody, a fit accompaniment to the

in Virginia. Now then which party be-
lieves in amalgamation." We must
build on the basis Of equal rights. The
black man deserves well at our hands.
He seeks instruction eagerly. He worked
well and fought well for us in the war.
Here Mr.. Culver gave most eloquent
tribute to the bravery of the black sol
diers at Fort Wagner, and to the brave
Shaw, of whom the rebels said in reply
to the flag of truce for his body: "we
have buried him with his niggers." 1t
was such burial as he would have asked,
and the noblest monument to him will
rise yet, not on his unmarked grave, but
in the advancement and elevation Of the
race, for whom and with whom he died.
Now the path OF safety lies ahead,
Let us go through with what we have
begun. Let us 60 into this campaign as
we went into that of 1864 Vermont
fred the first gun in that. 1t was not a
big piece, but the powder was firstrate,
and the echoes rolled across the country
till Maine took them up and echoed them
back, and we knew that all was we'll.
So we shall listen again for the gun from
Vermont, and you must see to it that it
has the true ring. The times are hope
full. / do not pretend to be a prophet
though l think / am as good a one as
Mr.. Seward. At least | have never made
a prediction to the freemen of Vermont
that proved false; and / now prophecy
that forty suns will not rise and set be-
fore Andrew johnson sinks into private
life, when the waters will close over him
and no sign be left to show where he went
down. Let us only fight manfully
through, maintain justice and equal
rights, protect the men who fought our
battles, and all will come out right.
Gen. Grant will have been nominated
by the people long before these delegates
reach Chicago. I trust that they will
see to it that behind him is placed true
man, in the second place on the ticket.
Had that been done at Baltimore Mr..
Lincoln would be now alive. That done,
triumphant victory is ours.
Mr.. Culver's speech was often inter-
rupted, and ollowed, by hearty applause.

HOnely Girls.

The editor of the Cleveland Herald,
having been tolerably profuse in his COM
pliments to the pretty girls of Cleveland,
has been requested to say good thing
for the homely ones and does it thus
First-The homely girls of Cleveland
are in a hopeless minority, but they mean
well.
Second--They 60 to church every Sun
day and are fond of their meals. They
had rather have their meals regularly
than new bonnet
Third-They understand their bust
ness, and wear No. 16 CATERS.
Fourth-They are bright, intelligent,
devoid of low jealousy, fond of music,
dance at Carrots Hall as though it was
the chief aim of life, and always go when
it rains.
Fifth-They always thank the gentle
men for giving them seats in the street
cars; never firt with the boys--because
it's out of their line-and keep out of
the fire.
Sixth-They never have half dozen
young sprigs keeping company with them.
Seventh-They wash their own hand
kerchiefs, iron their own collars, and darn
their own stockings.
Eighth-They never wear waterfalls
that weigh over one hundred and fifty
pounds and have neither "rats nor 9TH
er animals in their hair.
Ninth--They don't call the young
bloods, and other trash, perfectly splen-
did,"
Tenth-They neither eat between meals
Eleventh-They are all going to get
married.
Twelfth-They will all marry we'll.
Thirteen-Thier children will be bright
and shining lights in the world.
Fourteenth-They won't keep hired
girls till their husbands can afford it.
Fifteenth-They sleep under mosquito
bars when convenient.
Sixteenth-They can make coffee ant
nut cakes and can do ehamberwork.
Seventeenth-They are o. X.
Eigthteenth-They are homely, bu,
oh Jerusalem!
Nineteenth-They know they are
homely.
Twentieth-They perpire when the
thermometer is ninety-four in the shade
and wear gored waists.
Twenty-irst-Young gentlemen dom

peanuts.
Twenty-second-TAy sing Beautifu
Deamer," and use Sozodont.

Health.

There is no season of the year at which
so much care ought to be taken of the
health as the present. The sudden chan
ges to which we are liable, the thermom-
eter one day rangingat zero, and the next
standing at fifty degrees, the cold lake
winds which sweep the city from end to
end, and the badness of many of our
crossings and sidewalks, which render it
next to impossible to go abroad without
getting wet feet, render it necessary that
the utmost pains should be taken to guard
against the effects Of these causes bv all
who are anxious to preserve sound and
permanent state Of health.
Notwithstanding the truth of this is 50
patent, not one person in hundred takes
the commonest precaution in going out,
for go out one must. 1t is not by staying
indoors that health is guaranteed. The
body and feet should be warmly clothed,
but notso warmly as to create perspiration
in slow walking. If heavy overcoat is
worn on cold day, lighter one should
be put on when the weather is twenty de-
grees warmer
By bundling up every day alike, the
clothing soon becomes insufficient for a
cold spell, and a constant chillness is felt
which results in cold, then cough,
perhaps fever, and sometimes ends with
death. With so many physicians in COM
munity, and with the example of so many
imprudent friends and acquaintances
constantly before us, it would naturally
be supposed that the lessons of preserving
health might be learned by every person
capable of reason. 1t is shameful fact,
however, that such is not the case, or, if
it is learned, it is never made use of. We
are all guilty of what we may justly term
criminal neglect. We see the right, ap-
prove it, yet neglect to follow its precepts
Every year we mourn the loss of those
who, with the commonest precautions as
to their health might have been amongst
US now. We ascribe the results of this
negligence to the will of God" and the
dispensation of Providence" when in
reality it is little better than suicide.
We wish there were some way of bring
ing home this truth to community that
it might have its proper effect, but we
despair of any such result. The argu.
ments have been used by physicians and
psychologists times without number, and
with little effect, and we suppose it will
be to the end Of time Gin. Times

An Impeachment "Reminiscences.


Washington correspondence of the
Commercial Advertiser revives the fol-
lowing "reminiscences of former impeach-
ment trial.
When Senator Blount was impeached,
some seventy years ago, the House of
Representatives was disturbed by quar-
rel between two of the members, which
delayed the proceedings four weeks. The
tellers were engaged in counting the votes
for managers, when Mr.. Roger Griswold
of Connecticut (afterward Governor) and
Matthew Lyon of Vermont, began to dis
pute. After some words, Griswold allu-
ded to Lyons having been dismissed from
the service, saying that he had better put
on his wooden sword, whereupon Lyon
spat in Griswold's face. This was on the
Both of january, and the House was en-
gagged in the examination of the affair
until the Is of February, motions having
been made for the expulsion of both. But
they were allowed to retain their seats,
without even receiving reprimand.
The next autumn Mr.. Lyon was indie
ted in Vermont for writing for publica-
ton a letter calculated to "stir up sedition
and to bring the President and Govern
ment of the United States into contempt"
He was found guilty and was sentenced
to be imprisoned four months, pay costs,
and fine of 81 900. He was according
ly imprisoned four months in the depth
of winter, in comfortlcss cell, and he
paid the fine which Congress refunded to
his heirs with interest. In January, SEN
ator Blount having had year for pre-
paration, was tried, but the case was dis
missed on the ground that senator was
not q civil officer, and was, therefore, not
constitutionally impeaehable.
Mr.. Lyon is said to have revenged his
wrongs by giving the vote that made JEFF
ferson President. Heafterward removed
to Kentucky, from which state he came
here as representative from 1903 to
1911, and subsequently he went to Ar
kansas, from which territory he was the
first delegate elected to Congress, but he
died in 1922, before taking his seat.
Matthew Lyon occupied good share
of public attention in his day. He was
borne in Ireland, came to this country al
16 years of age, and was sold in Connec
ticut to pay for his passage. In 1888 he
came to Vermont and was one of the
chief founders of the town of Fairhaven
in Rutland County. Coming into new
town, Col. Lyon, as it is related in
Thompson's Vermont, had in operation
at Fairhaven, before 1896, furnace, {
forces, / Sitting mill, paper mill and
grist mill" He was elected to Congress
for his second term while in prison a

out. A bargain was made, and when
the season opened up, Benjamin worked
seven days for the farmer to pay for the
book. Mr.. Wade says the most difficult
thing to solve, he ever met with was al
zebra. He was working on farm when
he commenced studying it he had no
one to show him, and he read il over fifty
times without understanding it. Often,
when following the plow, he thought for
hours over the mysterious signs and let
lers in the book, untA they seemed as
large as the palm of his hand. He had
looked at them so often they were con-
stantly before his eyes, as clearly as if
they were painted on canvass, but he
could make nothing out of them. Grad
ually he began to comprehend them, and
he has not forgotten, to this day, the pro-
positions he then studied and solved.
When about eighteen, Mr.. Wade came to
the conclusion that the East was poor
place for a young man, and determined
to seek his fortune in the far West. Af-
ter revolving the proposition in his mind
for two years, he fixed upon Chicago,
then small village, as the place of his
future residence. With seven dollars in
his pocket, a pack upon his back, in
which was his clothes, and stout stick,
young Wade set out on foot to walk from
Massachusetts, to Illinois, by way of New
York, for he was determined to see the
great city about which he had heard so
much.
What must have been the feelings of
the old senator, when, more than thirty
years afterward, he, great, rich, sur
rounded by friends, was carried in gilded
cars on special trains over the country,
and in great professions amid huzzaing
thousands, through the streets of the very
cities where, when boy, he had trudged
with his pack and stick.
