By Hon. RANSOM H. GILLET,

renee Co., n. Z; more recently Registrar
and Solicitor of the L. s. Treasury
Department, and Solicitor for the
United States in the Court
of Claims, &c.
Dedicated, by special permission, to Hon. Ho-
RATIO SEYMOUR, and written Rnder the advice
and with the concurrence of leading Demo

400 pages, bound IN extra cloth, and containing
splendid Portraits on steel, of Jefferson and
Jack son. Price, 81 90. Mailed, post paid to
any part of the United States on receipt of price.
This admirable work contains a complete and
spirited history of the Democratic party, from
its origin down to the present time.
1t depicts the devotion of the Democratic
party to the Constitution and the laws, in all
the crises and emergencies of the country.
1t traces the conflict between Federalism and
Democracy, and contends that the Democratic
party has always been true to the Union, wheth-
er disunion was threatened by Northern Feder-
alists or Southern SecessioniSts.
1t gives history of every interesting incident
and event in each OF the political parties.
1t gives eminently interesting sketches OF
every Democratic Statesman.
The book, in brief, is vast repertory of po-
litica al and historical facts, of profound interest
to every citizen, and of value to every politician
for reference.
The authors experience dates far back into
the early portion of the century: he was an
associate of Silas Wright he enjoyed the con-
6dence and friendship of jackson, Van Buren,
Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan,
and, probably better than any man living, Is
acquainted with what the internal workings ol

LIGHTNING's Do1NGs.-Within the recol-

lightning, has occurred at any season than
during the present spring and summer. We

ing one or more catastropbes of this kind de-
tailed in its columns. Our own county has
not escaped, and in addition to other acci-
dents of this nature already recorded we to-
day give an account of the destruction by
lightning of barn and all its contents only
few miles from our town. In view Of these
oft-recurring con1sgratlons it behooves every
property-holder to adopt means 10 guard
against loss in this way. The only sure pre-
ventative is good lightnine-rod. aAd the
one among the many admittedly the uery best
Is the Munson copper tubular lightHing-rod,
with spiral hanges, new being erected thro'-
out this county by Mr.. Richard Jones, Of
Johnstowu. No man who regards his own
interests should neglect this matter, and no
one who examines the MuRson rod can fail
to be convinced of its superiority over all
Others. Mr.. Jos. Hoffman, whose barn was
destroyed by lightning not bng since. has
contracted with Mr.. Jones for putting up
these rods on his new house and proposed
new barn, convinced as he is that It Is the
best and cheapest before the public. Every

A BOGUs CoNvESTION.-The proceedings
of what is gravely called the Union Repub-
lican County Convention appears in the
Johnstown Tribune of last week. They
abound in fraud and forgery; and we speak
confidently when we allege that Mr.. c. T..
Roberts, the Ebensburg Secretary. never
prepared them fur publication. Quite a
number of delegates are named who were not
in the Convention at all. For instance
Eve quote from the Tribaste):
Carroll, Joseph Davis. 4" Mr.. Davis was
not present.
"Chest, Jacob Kibler" Mr. Killer was
at home on his farm in Chest township, as a
good citizen should be.
"Clearfeld, CeleStine M'Aullin." lie was
not in the ConN ention.
''Gallitzin, Capt. ID. Mills, II. Gallaher." p"
There was no II. Gallaher present.
'Loretto. Henry Myers, Charles Miller" "
Charles Millqr was not III She Convention,
but Henry Myers. a clever fellow and good
wag, voted in soprano for himself and a
deep bass for Mr.. Miller when the names
we're called, thus taking two chances In the
Radical lottery.
No delegate elections were hell in pursU-
ance of the call here or elsewhere, far as
we can learn, aud the ConveHtioR itself.

Cultivate Grscefulness.

The chief distinction in society between
the attentions of the thoroughly graceful
gentlemen, and one who simply knows the
rules lis that the former pays them without
attracting notice. A lady hardly realizes
that anything is done for her--she only
knows the gentleman is agreeable.
Does the young man ask how he shall cul-
tivate this unconscious gracefulness Some
men, the reader says, have the gift of nature
True-but with rare exceptions, nature de-
clines to make her gifts available without
culture or care. There is but one way to
cultivate the case of which we speak. New
er willingly allow an opportunity to pass
without taking advantage of il. Never, no,
never. we say-not even with the sister. or
mother, or most cousinly friend. II is a
mistake to regard these things as "too for

awkward. There is not single polite at
.ention called for in society which is not ap
propriete at home. II a sister drops hand

constrained and slightly awkward when you
are called upon to pick up handkerchief IN
the drawing room. fla mother is getting
into carriage, offer her hand, even if II

Nor are these attentions from young mer
to their near relatives valuable and called
for only as matters of practice Genuine
politeness demands them at home as troi,
as il demands them in society.-Erentn.

The Chicago Journal tries to break the
the force of the great democratic victory
there BY saying that the contest was not
purely political on Judge, but adds that "the
contest for aldermen was strictly a political
and party matter, as it always is" The
Journal then proceeds to show that on alder
men, the republicans had 225 majority In
the city. Allowing this to be true, it shows
ali immense democratic gain, for in 1865
the republicans had 5,629 majority, and in
1867 they had 3,93s. Now they acknowl
edge strict party contest on aldermen, and
claim only 225! That'll do-the witness
can take his seat.
