whose opinions are entitled to coasidera-
tion has proposed any change of name or
platform for the democratic party. If any
has done so, he has only demonstrated his
own un6tness for leadership in the demo-
cratic party or any other.
Success never yet was organized by
names, nor by platforms. Nor was it
ever commanded by leaders. These are
terms on which great many people, in
both parties, have fallen into the habit of
laying more Importance than they ever de-
serve.
Med are led by ideas-all men, leaders
as we'll as otheis Platforms are only
useful to give formal expression to ideas ;
and oftener do injury than good in at
tempting solution of the problem,
" How not to do it." AS for leaders,
they are born, not made. Nogreat, living
aud vitaliziug idea ever failed to develop
capable and efficient leaders none ever
will.
Now, if these propositions be true, what
the democratic party wants Gf it wants
anything) is not a change Of name, not a
new platform, not new set of leaders
but ideas. Having these it Will not need
for leaders; it will not need to hire re-
cruitirg scrgeants, or to send mission aries
to proselyte among the opposition tC
change its name or to employ new politi
cal carpenters to reword its platform.
The philosophy of ideas is good sub
ject for politicians to study at all times

Thursday, November the fifth, was the
anniversary of a noted event in English
annals. Two hundred and sixty-three
years ago an Euglishman of good birth,
Guy Fawkes by name, by profession SOL
dier, by birth and convic tion Roman
Catholic-when to be Roman Catholic
in England was to be something on an ay-
erage, but not above the level of quad
the idea of blowing up
the house of parliament, with all the per-
secutors of his religion, sky high. -Four
other conspirators, Robert Catesby, Sir
Everard Digby, Mr.. Ambrose lockwood,
aud Mr. Francis Tresham, all members of
old and aristocratic families were said to
have been associated with Guy Fawkes in
this plot; the latter having but shortly
beford returned from the Low Countries
where he had been carrying pike in the
the renowned Spanish infantry Fawkes
failed to carry out his plot, owing to the
fact that Roman Catholic peer who had
been warned of the affair, betrayed the
conspiracy. Fawkes and his fellow con.
spirators were executed, and since tha,
time, it has been the fashion to commemo.
tate the day in Old England. But of late
the fashion has fallen into disuse, and now
no public celebration is ever attempted sucl
as was known in the old days, when Ell
gies were carried through the streets and
hung or burned in the open air. But il
New York City there is considerabl,
body of Irish Orangemen, perhaps $500
who celebrate the 5th of November b,
drinking in their own dwellings, confusion
to the Pope and Fcnians, and glory and
immortal honor to William the Third, of
pious memory. Another evidence that

Mr.. Harwoods little boy and girl, and we
are lost in balloon"
The second little voice said: "It is us
and We ruined away with balloon. Please
take us down"
Dimly comprehending the situation,
the farmer, getting hold of the dangling
rope, succeeded in pulling down the bal
loon.
lie first lifted out little johnny, who
ran rapidly towards the house, he then
turned around and stood a few moments
curiously surveying the balloon. The
faithful sister was so chilled and exhaust
ed that she had to be carrid into the
house, where, trembling and sobbing, she
told her wonderful story.
Before sunrise a mounted messenger
was sent to the Harwood home with glad
tidings of great JOY. He reached it in the
afternoon, and in few hours later the
children themselves arrived in state. with
banners and music, and conveyed in a
covered hay wagon and four.
Joy bells were rung in the neighboring
town, and in the farmers brown house the
happiest family on the continent thanked
God that night.

election, Grant 2,515 900; Seymour, 2.
235, ,920. The seven states voting in 1865

Seymour, All, ,976. The estimate in Vir-

ed out by the rump, is, Grant 149,S7
Seymour, 324 ,S76. Citizens disfranchsed

that Horatio Seymour is the emphatic

The Peoria Transcript tells the following
story of a true love whose current ran un-
usually rough:
Several years ago young lady in
Tazewell county was wooed by young
man. He obtained her consent and the
consent of the old folks, but three days
before tho wedding she took freak into
her head and went off and married anoth-
er. The young man was heart-broken,
and packed up his effects and went to
New York City. There be hid his grief,
buried himself in business, and engaged in
speculation was successful, and became
wealthy. A younger sister of the girl that
Tilted him, moved by sympathy began a
correspondence with hin to endeavor to
mitigate his sorrow. The correspondence
became interesting. The young girl
grew up, and as years rolled on, ripened
into a beauty. The sight of her photo
graph awakened in the young man
breast the love he supposed crushed for
ever lie proposed to her and was accept
ed. Her father was a widower and was
anx ous to get married himself as soon as
his daughter was out of the way, SO he
urged the match forward. The means of
the lover row admitted a brilliant wedding
and preparations we're made for it, They
were to be married last Wednesday in
style. and depart Immediately for New
York city.
\ few days ago the expectant bride
received letter from her betrothed Stain Q
that he had entered into speculation
that would hecp him in the city SO that he
could not possibly be with her at the time
appointed, and asking her to delay the
ceremony for a day OF two. He also re-
ferred to the time when he had expected
to be united to her sister. Provoked to
think that he still remembered his former
love, the young lady wrote him in a pas
sion, and sitting down at the same time
wrote to cousin of hers, farmer in Iowa
who had long loved her, telling him that
she had broken her engagement, relating
the circumstanc ces to him, and ended by
saying that she was ready to be married
and if he would come and be there at the
time set for the wedding, she wocld marry
him.
He complied

at receiving her letter, closed up his busi-
ness as best he could, and came to TazeweI

the little village where she lived, and was
fastening up to the house to fulfill hi,
engagement, when he was met by some ol
his friends aud told that his bride had
just been married to another man. lie
tainted away on the spot, and was taken
to the hotel. When the bride was told Of
it she was overwhelmed with remorsc, but
it was too late. She was legally married
to her cousin. The New Yorker, twice
heart broken, left for his home withou
seeing her. She passed through this city
yesterday on her way to an Iowa farm
looking very detected, and anything bu
like bride.

Tight Breaches.

A female writer-not strong minded
one elthcr-thus holds forth on a prevails
ing gentleman S fashion. Of course she
knows whereof she speaks: l..
The press has never been amiss in depre-
eating the foiiies of the female sex, upon
occasion, in style of female apparel, but 1t
is notIceable fact that the poplnlay style
now, in vogue, more ridiculous than any
thing the women ever wore, is unnotlced.
Female loneliness in such that it can make
charming any extreme fashion but what
length of familiarity, pray heaven, can ever
make tolerable, much less comedy the dex
ter appendagcs Of a human crane, wound
about with SO tight aS 10 stop the circula-
tion? -3 sos
The present style Of pa falcons is neither
comfortable, comely 'r economical. The
swell that adopts it can neither stoop nor
sit down without positive danger of an eX
posure of his person from ruptures caused
by tension.
When we see these fashionables of the
male persuasion in the street, we are re-
minded of the exortation Of the rawboned,
Informed preacher when illustrating the
wonders Of creation Raising his long,
skinny arms high above his head, he ex
claimed God made this frame. 4
voice IN the congregation replied. Then
his tools were mighty dull.
Here comes a six-foot gallant with
number ten boot and figure like pair of
tongs. There 10 not enough Of his legs to
make shadow, and be walks as if each
boot was a double bass viol. By his side,
perhaps, is another devotee of the same
style half his length whose makeup re-
minds one OF plum pudding perched on
the handle Of pair OF pinchers. Here
they go, the extremes Of folly and the very
essence of righteousness. Nothing a wo>
man ever wore will compare in folly with
tight brooches on handy legged human
biped.

EOTatio Seymour.

The Presidential Electors on the Demo-
cratic ticket ran behind the local Demo-
caatlc candidates in some of the Eastern
States. The fact cannot be attributed to
Governor Seymour's want of personal pop
ularlty. The number who deserted the
Presidential ticket at the polls is the pre-
else measure of the number who preferred
subservlency to 1.-THE strong side" to a
fearless expression Of their honest con-
vlctlons. Had the Democracy carried
Pennsylvania in October, Gov. Seymour
on the average would undoubtedly have
run generally much in advance of his asso-
ciates. No statesman ever lived who
proved himself more gallant leader, or
who more universally commands the ad
miration and grateful respect of the De-
mocracy of the nation, and the regret at
the defeat of the cause is doubly embit-
tered by the rejection of a statesman
whose whole career is source of admira-
ton and pride to the friends of popular
government. With some candidates for
high position to be beaten is to be extin-
guished. Not SO with Horatio Seymour:
Like Webster, Clay, or Jackson and JEFF.
ierson, he is but thrice illustrious when as
sailed by partisan malice, and defeat is but
the rough setting which gives additional
brilliancy to his name.
