HINTS TO POLlTICAL MEETINGS AS the
season for political meetings approaches, it
may be we'll to reproduce the following eN-
cellent advice given by Horace Greeley,
some years ago, which republicans might do
well to heed:
l. Do not fix the day for your meeting
and then look up your speakers-they will
already perhaps, have been engaged else
where for that very day-but secure your
speakers. Let them fix the day.
.. Two prominent speakers with the local
aid at your command, are amply sufficient
for any one mass meeting Let the people
understand these can be relied on, and do
not load your bills with an array of great
names only to disappoint your audience.
3. Have Your meetings, if possible, in
doors. One indoor meeting, even if pack
ed. is worth half dozen outdoor gatherings.
The former is comparatively easy and the
latter difficult for the speaker to control.
4. If on must have outdoor gatherings,
then seek the grove or woods, and fail not
to erect stand for your speakers, and
cover it with boards, and with nothing else.
while with nothing above the speaker head
the voice will waste in the air above, and
in five cases ont OF six he will break down.
5. Always put down upon your platform,
whether in or out Of doors, a piece Of coarse
carpet to stand upon. Nevsr coverwith oil
cloth, unless you expect your speaker to be
lifeless and dull.
6. Consume as little time as possible in
preliminaries, in marching and counter,
marching. Get your procession upon the
ground with dispatch and proceed at once
to the business of the meeting.
:. Remember your speakers especially
the more prominent ones, have families to
support. Their time is valuable, and il
costs them money to travel on railroads and
stay at hotels. "Thou shalt not muzzle
the mouth of the OK that trcadcth out tho
corn.n

GRANT.

I would rather have Grant, if he's silent and
still,
Than an empty dcclaimer Of words;
I would rather have Grant, with good, hon,
est will,
Than one from noisy political hordes.
His deeds are all written in the face Of the
world,
And he who desires can read them affair;
He stands forth to-day with his banner un.
furled
In the light of his acts-Our National Str.

The following description of General
Grants behaviour while cadet mt West
Point is given by Professor Mahan, who has
for many years been a member of the aca-
demic staff at that place:
He was what we termed first section
man in all his scientific studies: that is, one
who accomplishes the full course. lie al.
ways showed himself clear thinker and a
steady worker. He belonged to the class of
compactly strong men, who went to their
task at once, and kept at it until finished,
never being seen, like the slack twisted
class, yawning, lolling on their elbows over
their work, and looking as if just ready to
sink down from mental inaniy.

STORM SIGNALS. is proposed to estab-
fish, by means of cannon and telegraph,
signals during the harvest season to announce
the approach of storms. These signals can
be so arranged rs to declare the direction
and character of the coming storm, aud to
notify farmers who are cutting crops. 1t is
estimated that more than one-fourth of the
grain and hay crops are annually injured by
storms during harvest, and that the damage

The maid is not dead, but seepeth."
She is not dead, she's sleeping
The dreamless sleep and drcar;
Her friends are gathered weeping
Round her untimely bier.
She is not dead, her spirit,
Too pure to dwell with clay,
Has gone up to inherit
The realms OF endless day.
She is not dead, she's singing
= With angel bands on high;
On golden harp she's singing
Gods praises in the sky.
She is not dead, o mother,
Your loss you will deplore;
Kind sisters and fond brother,
Your Nora is no more!
No more, as we have seen her,
The light and life Of home,
Of christian.like demeanor,
Which ever brightly shone:
Of youth the guide and .eacher,
OF age the stay and hope
To all II faithful preacher,
To whom we all looked up.
She is not dead, she's sleeping,
Her loving Saviour said
Then friends repress your weeping,
Gods will must be obcyed.
She is not dead, she's shining
In robes of spotless white;
Why then are we .repining?
Gods ways are always right.
She is not dead-O never
Will sorrow cross her track;
She's passed Death's darksome river,
And who would have her back?
Back from the joys of Heaven!
Back from that world Of bliss
Call back the pure, forgiven,
TO such a world as this?
A world Of grief and anguish
A world OF sin and strife
In which the righteous languish,
And wickedness is rife.
She is not dead, she's shouting,
Borne on triumphant wing,
so grave, where is thy victry, =.
O Death, where is thy sting?''

E0t EKaefly.

The Badical papers delight IN de-
ceiving themselves with the idea that
the Democratic party is dead. Such
is far from being the fact. A party
that at the late election cast 2,235, ,920
votes in spite of all the disfranchise-
naents and frauds ofthe party in pow
ier, is neither ready to give up the ghost
nor is it asleep. Even with the dis
franchisement of 54S,2SI white voters
and the enfranchisement of the negroes
Of the South for the purpose Of per-
petuatiHg the power of. the Radical
party, the Democracy have shown
such numerical strength as to convince
any party not controlled by fanaticaI
madness, that they are not to be
slighted or outraged, but that their
views and opinions are entiteled to re-
spectful consideration at the hands Of
their opponents. To-day with all the
States voting and controllingtheir own
matters in the same manner that Ohio
does, uninfluenced by Congressional
usurpation,- and unawed by that little
1'three 1cornered piece of steel, called a
bayonet,DD and the shouts of victory
would be heard from other mouths
than those, who glory in the frauds by
which the rule. of the Radicals has
been perpetuated. ~

GEN. BUrI,E,R nurnoses introdnc;n,

Zen. BUTLER purposes intro ducing,
early in the next session of Congress,
bill for the correct registration OF
voters in cities, providing for the cor
rect registration at least thirty DAYS
before a regular election. The list
shall give every voters name and place
of residence. The bill, as presented,
VIII embrace several other important
provisos, calculated to guard the puri-
ty of the ballot box. ~ :
So says the New York Tribune
We do not believe that GEN. BUTLER
proposes to do any such thing. Con-
gress has no authority whatever to
pass any law regulating the right of
franchise in any city or State. That
power is confined exclusively to the
several States.-Pldtn Dealer. -
Well, what of that? what does But
ler or any other Radical care about
what the Constitution allows or for
bids. Thad. Stevens said, and said
truly, that their whole legislation on
the subject of Reconstruction was out
side the constitution, yet that has not
deferred them from following up their
reconstruction schemes. State rights
and State organizations are of no more
accounts to the Jacobins than mere
counties. States have no rights
which Radicals are. bound to. respect.

The Presidents Salary.

The New York San, Radical, has
the following sensible article on the
subject of an increase of the salary OF
the President of the United States.
Fei The proposition is being revived, in
view of Grants accession to the Pres
idency Of the United States, of in
creasing the salary of the office from
its present amount $25,OOOto 100000
or thereabout. We hope nothing of
the kind will be done, or even serious
ly conside1ed by Congress.
In the first place, the $25,OOO now
allowed by law is not the whole of
the money paid by the nation toward
the Presidents private expenses. He
has house free of rent, warmed and
kept in repair for him without charge.
The furniture of the house is also pro-
Fvided, and in one way or another his
servants wages are paid out of the
public treasury. His garden, from
which his table to great extent is
supplied, is taken care of by public
gardener. In addition, every little |
while extra appropriations are made
for special purposes. Taking all things
together, the President really receives
much nearer $4,000 than $4,000.
AS matter of fact, the salary now
paid has always proved amply suffi-
cient. Mr.. Fillmore, Mr.. Pierce and
Mr. Buchanan made handsome savings
while in Office. Abraham Lincoln
saved some $4,000 out of his four
years allowance, and johnson will re-
tire with nearly an equal amount. 1t
can easily been seen that when moth
ing is to be met but few marketing
bills, keeping pair of horses and the
cost of few entertainments, $25.OOO
will go a long way.
But the conclusive argument on the
subject is that we do not want Presi-
lent of a Republic like ours to set an
of luxury and ostentation to
lis fellow citizens. What i. he can a
lot vie in display with foreign minis .
ers, whisky spectators, gold and a
took gamblers, and parvenues gener- 81
lly? His $4,000 year will certain = =
provide him and his family with ac
omfortable clothing, wholesome food,
nd have little over for pocket mon
Y. There is no danger of any lack
able and upright patriots to take
le office, even at the present rate of IL
remuneration.

retreat. In his last visit to the fatal
east wing, Mr.. Seibert narrowly es-
capped death. Against remonstrance,
he dashed through a sea of fire, fol-
lowed by a noble attendent carving
the keys of the hall, until they togeth-
er reached room, the door of which
was found to be already a sheet of
flame. Dashing through, Mr.. Seibert
directed the light of small lamp,
which he held in his right hand, to the
only bed in the room, but finding it
unoccupied, sprang Fout in the hall,
telling the attendant that the room
was not occupied by patient. On
being assured that the room was oc-
i,cupied, Mr.. Seibert again entered, and
casting the light from his lamp around
the room, discovered female crouch
ing In corner to spring at his throat.
In her mad rush at him, he fortunete-
ly caught her right hand in his left /;
and, throwing away the lamp, trusted
in the fierce ensuing grapple in the
darkness to secure her other hand
He succeeded, and, although power
full man, found 1t necessary to exert all
his strength in bringing the inmate to
her knees, in which position he drag
ged her through fire and suffocating
smoke to place of safety. The great
exertion of the wrestle, together with
the smoke and gas of the room over
came Mr. Seibert, and he sank faint
ing to thesfoor. Drs. Peck and Smith
at once administered restoratives, and
in short time he was again on his
feet, aud away toward the west wing.
In room in the front building, he
found sleeping man. Extreme diff
Guilty was experienced in inducing
him to get up and follow to place of
safety, but by little good tact it was
accomplished. ...-. .s.
