A Photograph of Democratic Govern.
menf. ...
BY A DEMOCRAT
BY A DEMOCRAT.

Tammany Hall has arisen in its might
against August Belmont, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. But though
Tammany is mighty, and in New York, well
nigh omnipotent, August has his friends. The
other night the supporters of the agent of the
Rothschilds held meeting in order to "hurl
back the base accusations of Tammanv.-
Resolutions highly complimentary to Mr.. Bel
mont and denunciatory of Tammany were
passed. One of the speakers, Mr.. Waterbury.
in discussing the resolutions, said that the peo-
pie were governed by a clique which walked
before them as the yelled prophet--a ring fat
ting to degree beyond swine's fullness on
corruption. Not by abilities given them by
the Almighty, but by corruption and menace.
Less than ten years ago some of its members
were worth nothing. Now they are worth
millions. Not alone the city funds, but the
property of private corporations, and even the
public treasury is imperiled by this organiza.
ton.
The organization referred to is that which
gives laws to the Democracy of the United
States and which nominated Seymour last
year. Anything like its gigantic corruptions
cannot be found elsewhere in the country
People who have made up their minds that
they swami a change would do well to see if
the condition of the people will be bettered
by leaving them to the mercy of such an over
grown monster as Tammany is known to be.

30 neighbor Jones see you've got
A door-plate new upon your door,
like its style, 1 never saw
A nicer-neater one before
Oh tell me where you got it made,
Speak quickly Jones and tell me true,
That may have my name engraved

"Well good Squire Smith my door-plate came
From Thirty-one on Market Square,
The buildings called Lancaster Hall,
And A. H. Atwood's working therei
The people all his work admire,
He makes his door-plates neat and plain,
And orders have been sent
From many-many parts of Maine.''
Sand does he furnish numbers too,
To number doors and houses right?"
HE does! just call and see his work
And you will soon express delightr'
Then Smith and Jones went on their ways,
Jones to his store did soon repair,
And Smith did for door plate go
To Thirty-one on Market Square.

Last week there was on exhibition in this
city muatto girl, or girls, having two heads,
four arms, four legs, and but one body in COM
mon Though these two brains may think d.
verse thoughts, the wills be operated upon by
variant motives, and the lips speak diametri-
cally opposite sentiments, yet only those things
can be done to which both minds assent: the
feet, If they progress at all, must follow the
same pathwry-The two cannot walk, siuply
or together, unless agreed o,s to the direction
in which their footsteps tend
This freak of nature reminded us of the on
position to the Republicans. Composed of
two elements, having views of all moral and
political questions directly opposed to each
other, the Democrats and Hichborn men agree
only on one point, to wit: hostility to the
dominant party. The only direction in which
they can act together is against those who
have supported that system of legislation
which one branch of the opposition processes
to consider of the highest Importance and
which the other wing detests.

Painless Digesfiau,


"No man." says Sir Ashley Cooper, Sought to
know by his sensations that he has stomach. %
In other words, when digestion is perfect there is
neither pain nor uneasness in the region where
1t takes place. Nausea want Of appetite. flatu.
lency, oppression after eating, shooting pains in
the epigastrium, a flushing of the face at meal
times, and fu-red tongue in the morning, are
among the direct symptoms of indigestion. Con-
stpaton, biliousness, headache, nervous irrta-
pilty, physical weakness, and low spirits, are its
almost invariable Accomplishments. All these in
ucations OF DYSPEPSIA, whether immediate or
secondary, are usually aggravated by hot weather.

Great Fire MT Athens.

ONE MAN FATALLY INJURED. ..-
Thursday morning at 2 o clock fire broke out

SENATOR MORTON makes sharp hits. AT his
laee speech in Wilmington, Ohio, he uttered
tne following; Aud is there any good reason
why the Republican party, after having pre-
served the Republic, should be required to
turn over the care and custody of it to the
Democracy? When the flames OF your burn
ing house have been extinguished would Won
employ the incendiary as q watchman to mo-
tect it from fire in the future, or when your
child has been rescued from the waves would
you deliver it over for tender nursing and re-
susitation to the monster who threw i'll in?
And yet you might do these things with as
much propriety as to turn over the control of
the Government to the Democratic party"

HORRIBLE RUMoR.-A terrible story comes
from Avondale, where the late coal mine dis
aster occurred. 1t has been discovered that
the mine Was set on fire. 1t is also currently
reported that some Irish miners said that the
nanny goats" as they term the Welsh, would
go down the shaft some day and never come
up alive, and that since the accident, and
while efforts were being made to open the
mine and search for the entombed, some of the
same men were overheard to say that too much
fuss was being made about the nanny goats. !"
There is, and always has been, bitter antagon-
ism between the Welsh and Irish miners and
this talk among the former is probably moth
ing more than its reflex v VI I

liquors of any kind for medicinal or mechan-
cal purposes, are informed that the City Agen-
cy is supplied with articles of excellent quail

purchased of the State Agent, and they can be
relied on as pure and of standard proof, as GER

days, the Senator sent him from his desk a
note ,-"If have offended you, ask your

back the tears, when he crossed the chamber
to shake hands with his old friend from
whom he had been temporarily estranged.
