Financiers have a good deal to say about
imitation and some of them in consequence
become inflated themselves. Pendleton is very
much inflated indeed: so much SO that the
tension of his skin reminds one of balloon
when it has been filed to the furthest limit
OF safety preparatory to an ascent. We firmly
hold to the belief that it is only the specific
gravity OF well-fed and well-groomed million
alre that keeps the "Young Eagle of the west
from soaring to his home in the clouds. Ihere
Is no public man in America that has the mag
niicence of demeanor of Mr.. Pendleton. MIR.
Turveydrop might learn from him the first
elements of "deportment," and department, as
everybody knows, was Mr.. rs forte Behold
him rising to address an audience! How
grave he Is! Nota smile illumines his hand.
some features as the yells of his Democratic
compatriots give him welcome. How lorily
his attitude; how faultless his dress! He
heeds not the groundlings who salute him,
but after long pause full OF dramatic effect
he opens his lips and speaks.
We of Maine know all about this matter,

pleased to take a little flight to our frigid and
uncongenial cline, and was further pleased
upon his arrival to impart to us in a strain
of magniloquent oratory that the government
was going straight to financial perdition, and
that nothing but his sugar-coated reputation
remedy could save it. He also stated to US
with condescending air, as one who conf
dentially discloses matter concerning which
he onlylhas knowledge, that unless we took
reputation with the sugar coat, we must ulti-
mately take it without any coat at all. We Of
Maine, being an honest folk, patriotic, full oil
Righteous adherence of wrong and zeal for
the right, secuted Mr.. Pendleton, laughed him
to scorn and sent him cackling home to the
West, like goose on the plains of Saurum.
At the polls we buried him with votes thou
believed him to be as arrant cheat as ever
strutted bis brief hour upon stump. We saw
that the pomp and ceremony with which this
Coriolanus in manner presented himself did
not conceal the demagogue and the crazy Office
seeker.
Mr.. Pendleton Is coming again-not in per-
son, perhaps, but as candidate for popular
favor, His selection as a candidate for the
Ohio governorship is merely preliminary to
another trial for the Presidency. He clings
tenaciously to the infamous propositions which
made him 80 obnoxious last year, being, it
would seem, utterly incapable of realizing
that he touches no sympathetic cord in the
popular heart when he appeals to selfshness
and dishonesty. Again his hypocritical and
false mouthings about the national debt are
quoted by Democratic papers throughout the
country. But until the American people for
get all they have done and suffered for the last
ten years, Mr.. Pendleton will ssl~ays fail in
the s.temrc:s. q % make Himself or his hereses
palatable.

A CANADIAN PAPER truthfully says that
as general rule English papers are far less
severe upon Mrs. Stowe than American pa
pers. This singular fact may perhaps be ac-
counted for by supposing that there are in
existence in England certain verbal tradi-

mind for terrible revelations concerning Lord
Byron. .Gt .ts
