gins the .ftytomth volume. Like old

of the ladies magazines. The present
issue is one of the best we have ever
seen. y splendid steel engraving,
"Undine and the Knight" leads off;
then follows a mammoth colOred steel
fashion plate, with five full length fig

that disgracesso many fashion journals.

..MUrGIer Will Out"

The Pittsburg Republican is neither
a Democratic or Republican paper. 1t
is what might be termed a Ego be-
tween the two parties" In an issue a
short time ago, it contained the follow
ing startling editorial:
There are thousands of people in the
land who believe that John Wilkes
Booth was hired by now prominent
Radicals to slay Abraham Lincoln,
and that they then treacherOusly gave
him up to destruction by their miniOns
in hope of covering their tricks. The
closeness with which the other prisO-
nerS were guarded from outside inter
course; unfairness of their trial and
the haste with which they were put
out of the world all give color to the
suspicion, whilst the plOtnOW maturing
to complete the work which the assas-
sin left unfinished. G. the destruc-
tion of Andrew JOhLsOn-seem to fill
the measure of proof against them.-
Abraham Lincoln fell a victim not
when he performed his most arbitrary
and hostile acts against secession, but
at a time when he was healing the
wounds of war, holding out the olive
branch, appearing to gather the "re-
pentant rebels" into the old Union.

Not only should every Democrat
have his county newspaper, during the
coming campaign, but he should like
wise make it a point to furnish his Re-
publican neighbor a copy. This is
the plan upon which our opponents
have acted for years, and it is about
time that Democrats do something Of
the same sort. NOW, GO TO WORK
and put yOau Democratic newspaper into
the hands Of eUeyy Republican '0hO lCiU
read. If you will do this you will
accomplish more good in six months
than you will by any other means in
six years. Democratic politicians,
! throughout the county, are enabled, by
the above low terms, to circulate Dem
ocratic newspapers at a very small
cost. We appeal to them to see TO get
ting up clubs, and to see to it in time.

and then seed-time will have passed.

Duncan Mcpherson, a candidate for the

thousands here, but with hundreds Of thous-

A RAT TERRIER ADOPTS A LITTER OF

A RAT TERRIER ADOPTS A LITTER OF
KlTrESs.-0ne Of the oldest attach
ments between animals Of a different
kind hat we aver heard of is attracting
considerable attention at Dr.. Alexander
Erskine's, on Wellington street. The
Doctor has a small Scotch terrier slut,
about sixteen months old, which has
never had any increase. Tho Doctor
also possessed, four months ago, a cat
with two sickly kittens. The cat died,
leaving the orphan kittens to shift for
themselves ; they dropped their heads
like blighted fruit hanging by slender
stems, and their backs were too weak
to take the Grecian bend at the sight Of
a pugillistic rat. At this critical period
they turned their noses towards the ter
rier slut and their advances were re-
ceiyed with favor, and in o short time
their intimacy attracted particular Mt
t~ention. The kittens sought that snste-
nance from the stepmother which is
given by the real mother, and what is a
marvel in nature it was and is afforded.
The slut performs the functions of n
natural mother with the greatest affec-
ton, and If they were her own progeny
she could not take more interest in
their welfare. One Of them was run
over by a buggy a few days ago, and the
stepmother manifested an unusual sym
patty for the afflicted one during its
convnlescence. The attachment is Gu
rious, and the result something almost

OSE Of the staple arguments OF the
Democratic papers and Democratic or
ators is the disaster and ruin that is
spreading through the country, the hard
times to poor men, mechanics, farmers
and the masses, as the result of Repub-
lican rule. These papers and orators
harp loud and long about how the peo-
pie are being impoverished. This
utterly false cry is admirably answered
by the Nebraska City Press, in the fol-
lowing words, which everybody will
admit to be true to the letter
Although we have passed through the fiery
ordeal Of q long and bloody war, brought on
by this same Democratic party, the nation
was never more prosperous. The poor man
never got his bread, his meat, his coffee, tea,
and sugar any easier than now. Public and
private improvements never went forward so
briskly as now. The common people, the
masses, never accumulated property so rap
idiy as now. New States and Territories
were never settled up 90 rapidly and peace
fully as now. The widespread ruin, desola-
ton and bankruptcy which Copperhead ora
tors and pot-house politicians have predicted
for the last eight years has not come, is not
likely to come, never will come, unless these
villainous enemies Of our country, these
haters Of public prosperity and universal
liberty shall again get into power; then stand
f1em under.

The New York World thus nominated
Grant for the Presidency "Of the
steadiness and staunchuess Of General
Grants patriotism, or the u%prightness
and solidity Of his character, no man in
the country doubts or affects to doubt.
On the score of loyalty and solid public
services, no man in the country a
come into competition with this Illus
trious soldier. The Presidency can DO
nothing to him (; he has q more valuable
Office. But if, in the hands Of Provis
dence, be could be an instrument for
tranquili:ing the country, that is an
honor for which he could afford to sac
rifce ease, congenial pursuits, and the
possibility of still greater fame as a SOL
der. As Washington was elected and
reelected on the strength Of his charac-
ter and services, without pledge being
asked or given, we trust that Grant will
be elected in the same way. Having
restored the authority of the Govern
meut, we hope he may add the highest
civic to the highest military fame by re-
storing long-lOst cordially Of feeling"
