Faces OF hearts where moanness

Faces-the signs Of spirits
That muse no more.
The sadness OF these faces
Is sud beyond belief.
Meaner than the shrill sorrow
OF the bariot or the thief;
The gladness Of these faces
Is sadder than their grief.
Oh. there seems hope for evil.
Though bloodiest crime befall,
But life that hath neither beauty

Reliance Of the Democracy.

Outside Of the benefit to derived from
their secret circulars, il has transpired,
says our Contemporary of Portage County
Democrat, that their reliance 10 upon the
following programme; First to run the
mixed ticket nominated in Hamilton
county, and SO neutralize the Republican
ascendancy in that quarter, with the un-
derstanding that the candidates on that
ticket, owing to their allegiance to the
Democrats, will, without regard to their
antecedent', feel bound to vote with that
party in the organization of the two
houses; second, by colonization of voters
to overcome the Republican majorities
Hardin, Madison, Highland and Soioto
counties, and secure Montgomery and
some other doubtful ones; third, help is
expected in several strong Republican
counties, including Cuyahoga, Stark and
Columbiana, by the Temperance tickets,
which are expected to draw enough from
the Republicans to elect some Demo
cratic members, even from those Repub-
lican strongholds and finally, in all cases
except Hamilton county, where toadying
is done or attempted with Republicans,
as in Lucas, Fayette, and some other
counties, by means of so-called Independ-
ent or Working Mems tickets. The
Democrats insist on having members Of
the Legislature from men reliably on
their side. TO the doubtful Republicans,
of whom especial mention is made in
this secret circular, they send Cary's
speeches and literature of that sort to
disaffect them toward the Republican
administration.

the loose behavior OF the native African

GREENBACKs IN THE TREAsURY.-It
will be noticed by those who take the
trouble to examine the October debt
statement, that there were only six and
half millions of "greenbacks" in the
Treasury. This is the smallest amount
of legal tenders, we believe, that were
ever held by the Government, and the
sum barely sufiices for it's running ex-
penses. This is not the result of acci.
dent, but of design. Grant promised
some months ago that when the time for
the moving Of the crops should come, he
would give the people the full benefit of
the currency circulation. lie has re-
deemed that promises Six and half
million of legal tenders are in the Treas
ury, the rest of the greenbacks and ma
tional bank currency is all circulating
among the people.

On Saturday evening a thrilling ad.
venture befell the messenger in charge
of the car of the American Express Com
pany, on the night express train from
Erie to this city. Shortly after leaving
the former place he discovered to his
CONSERVATION that the contents of the
car were on fire. The car was packed
full of the usual assortment of express
freight, consisting principally Of dry
goods and other merchandise, and the
bell-rope connecting with the engine had
been passed over the top of the car
Both ends of the car were crammed with
packages, only small vacant space be-
ing left in the center at the doors, occu-
pied by the messenger.
The perilous nature of his condition
cannot be fully realized. The train was
whirling along through the darkness at
the rate of thirty miles an hour, and the
fire was rapidly spreading through the
dry combustibles, fast filling the car with
heat AMI smoke. He had no possible
means of signaling the engineer, and no
means OF egress TO the ether cars or of
communication with their occupants.
lie might shout himself hoarse and his
voice would DO drowned by the roar of
the train. 1t seemed impossible for him
to give any alarm until the fire should
have made such progress as to be discov-
cred by others, but in the meantime him
self must inevitably be suffocated or com.
PEELED to take the alternative of lsaping
from the train.
To open the doors of the car would be
but to admit the air and give new i'm.
petus to the flames. But the heat and
smoke were already sitting and some.
thing must be done Immediately or he
must perish. Opening one OF the doors

edge OF the car and lot it fall. 1t was
struck by the steps OF the baggage-car
producing such concussion as to alarm
its occupants, Rightly conjecturinp
that something was wrong the engineer
was signaled and the train soon came Ia
a stop. The cause of the alarm was soor
discovered, the messenger being tounC
leaning as far as possible out of tho cal
to escape the smoke. Every applianc,
at command was speedily brought into
rsquisitien, and the fire was fortunatel,
extinguished. The safe was picked NJ
and the train resumed its journey, arriv
ing at its destination without further ac
cident. The amount OF the loss is no
known but it is thought it will not b,
very large. The fire is supposed to hay,
