GIVING GOOD ADvIoE.-Night be-
fore last some boys in the Ninth
Ward raised Seymour and Blair
pole, at which time one of our Evans
vile Democratic orators took occa =
sion to give some good advice to the
boys. He enumerated several vices
he would have them avoid, and among
other things told them they must not
swear; if they did. they would not
make good Democrats when they
reached mature age, but before he
concluded his speech he grew so en-
thusiastic in the cause, that he swore
himself. OF course he did not want
the boys to do as he had done, but as
he had told them TO do.

GENERAL BAPTIST HYMN Book
The third edition of this popular
Hymn Book on better paper and
better bound than heretofore-is now
ready Cor delivery. It was printed
and bound at the JOURNAL office, and
orders sent here will receive prompt
attention. The popularity of the
book. not only with the Baptists but
with all denominations, has been such
that difficulty has been experienced
in supplying the demand. We think,
however, we are now able to fill all
orders promptly and satisfactorily.

GAME OF BLUFF.-The unterri-
fed" appear to be playing the game
of bluff this campaign. A few even
ings since a disciple of Seymour aud
Blair offered to bet one of the Grant
Guards 800 that Seymour and Blair
would be elected. The Grant man,
being in a crowd, and not having the
money to put up at that time, OF
course felt little chagrined at being
bluffed in that way, but he walked
straight off and procured the cash,
and on returning, offered to put up
the money, when the ardent admirer
of Seymour and Blair backed square
out. Several instances of that kind
have occurred in the city in the last
eight or ten days. 1t is an attempt to
play the old game Of bluff.

ORIGIN OF THE CLUB.-We under
stand that the "Crescents derived
the idea of their decenoy society from
their candidate for the Presidency.
1t is claimed for Mr.. Seymour that he
has Hands white like a woman's"
that his hair curls gracefully back
from his majestic forehead, that he is a
thorough gentleman in dress and car
riage, and, in his own native Utica,
en1ineBtly respectable.
Actuated by the same spirit which
goes to make up the mode and charac-
ter of Horatio, the Tammany Demo-
Gratis of Evansville formed their or
ganization, to elevate the standard Of
decency and responsibility of the
party, and thereby commend it more
favorably to the support of the peo-
pie. A happy idea.

ToN.-The Quarterly Meeting services
of the NJ. E. Church, at Hazelton, on
last Sunday were, in many respects,
remarkable. They were held in the
new church, recently built under the
auspices of the Baptists. But the
peculiarly Of the meeting consisted
in the large number who attended
and the unusual interest manifest
ed in the exercises. The people col
lected from all parts of the surround
ing country. Some were present from
Princeton and Patoka. Others came
from the opposite side of White Riv-
err. They brought with theni their
dinners, and devoted the entire day
to religious worship. The church
could not contain all who were pres
ent, but arrangements were made for
seats outside, and all listened patient
ly and attentively to the sermons.
The Love Feast meeting was held in
the morning. At 104 o'clock, the
Presiding Elder, Rev. b. E. Rawlins,
preached. In the afternoon, minis
ter of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church preached again, and at night
Mr.. Rawlins delivered yet another
sermon. The people who were pres
ent were delighted with the meeting
and new religious interest is springing
up in that community. A camp meet
ing is to be held soon, not far from
Hazelton, in what is know as the old
Thorne Church neighborhood.

"A Northern Convention correspondent
sketches Wade Hampton. Directly in front,
just behind the Massachusetts, delegation, sits an.
other man of mark. He is tall man, muscular
and compact, with black eyes, black whiskers and
black hair His face is dark, as though it were ia
miliar with the sun, and he wears dark clothing
His name is Wade Hampton, and his fame has
gone over the world. Hampton's head is one to
study. 1t is medium in size, but splendidly form
ed. A glance at the head and face shows you that
there is will and intellectual resource there, and
nature above all petty things. Hampton has
proved himself gallant soldier. He has, the
abilities of statesman, too, and they have been
recognized He does not appear to take any part
in the proceedings, but sits quietly in his place
while the chairman of his delegation announces the
vote of South Carolina. Did he choose to stand
up and speak, no man on the floor would be more
attentiyely heard"
