LOCAL, POLITICAL, s. 0TH
EaIVVHSE.
BY 4 coNTRBr TOR.

THE Herald has been somewhat
exercised during this political cam.
palgn, which is now drawing TO n
close, with tho position and lntcr>
est taken by Mr.. Gaylord IN the
An!i.Pikc movement 1t has been
i'm the habit of employing the term
Jim Gaylord 10 fr1ghtcn all houcst
Republicans from their position on
the Pike question. When anything
happens locally, or otherwise, which
the Herald docs not like, it Is al
ways Jim Gaylord who has done IL!
IS makes no difference whether he
has had any connection with the
matter complained Of or not, 1t suits
the Herald's purpose TO hold him
responsible for 1t. He imagines by
this, in some way. he can create q
partisan prejudice against any
movement which it may have been
understood that well known Dem.
ocratic gentleman favored. In this
he not only docs Mr.. Gaylord honor
over much, but he undertakes the
intelligence of his own party. We
have no doubt that he is greatly
mistaken when he supposos that he
can tcrriiy all Republicans by holds
ing up before them the name of
political opponent. There arc mas
ny men in these days who are in
clIned to be independent, especially
IN local matters, and even should
Mr.. Pylo be unable to convince the
Republican party Of this county
that Mr.. Gaylord was actually in
favor Of the Anti Pike movement,
nobody but a foot would abandon it
on that account !
But the last blast from the Herr
! AIDS Tin trumpet is loud against
J Mr.. Gaylord. Our Contributor, for
some weeks past, has been stirring
up the Court House Ring and cX-
posing the gIar!ng Inconsistencies,
shortcomings and want Of honesty,
among the Radical leaders in aud
out OF the county. The question ~
anXiouslv asked, "Who is CJntribu-
tor ?" Well, says Mr.. Pyle, we
think it il young Mr.. Crew, attOr-
ney ut law, and newcomer a.
mong us, and we will, us IN duty
bound, give him q settlor through
our paper. So Mr.. Pyle, like an
enraged bull, pitches into Mr. Crew,
But 10, and bohoid ! the next week
he is required, from Il correct state
ment Of the facts in the premises,
to take back his inslnuations
AGAINST Mr., Crew, and make, thro'
his paper, an apology, both in prose
and blank verse. at will not do to
give 1t up so - says Mr.. Pyle (;
Contributor must be somebody.
who says ugly things against us,
our leaders, and our party, and we
must make another dr;Vo ut him,
though we strike at him in the
dark 70 So, Mr. Pyle puts on his
guessing cap and, with the assists
auce Of others, he comes 10 the con-
cIusion that Gaylord, "thOu art the
man." and falls incontinently to
lovishing hls abuse upon that per.

"How old were you, my dear, when
you lost your lover 2" says kino and
patronizing .matron to heroid maid
guest; or, perhaps, it is painful to talk
80. no. the pain of the experience
has all gone out Of my life, it was so
long ago. I was only about thirteen

was a green grocer's apprentice, a red
checked. blue-eyed boy, five or six
years nv senior. 1 used to buy apples
and calamus root OF him on my way
to school, and he always gave me more
than my penny's worth; and besides, a
smile so sweet that was drowned in it
When / parted from him to go away to
boarding school he kissed me and call
ed me his little vrow; I ran away,
burning up with bushes, and for three
wears made his rosy cheeks and blue
ewes the inspiration OF all my waking
hours, the grace and glory Of all my
dreams. I would have held 1t as an
insult II any one had made so bold as
entreat me to depart from following af-
ter him. Well, l came home, some
where about thirteen, 1 think, and with
nv heart huttering up In my mouth,
FASTENED to have sight and speech of
my apprentice.
"There were the old landmarks-the
open coal bin, outside the door, from
which the poor people were supplied
by the bucket full; the fish barrel, with
the one dried mackerel in view; the
Rarlics, the potatoes, the spinach and
all, There were the dozen brooms
swinging before the open door-they
used TO seem a veritable crimson cur
tain to my eyes, as parted them, they
were tritle more like red broom corn
now, but still parted them with eager
hand and went In.
1.-Two little blue eyes no bigger than
beads looked strangely at me out ofthe
collops of fat in which they were en-
bedded, and a bearded man, too big for
his waistband, and with face red and
notified to the likeness OF dirty copper
kettle, asked me gruflly what wanted,
evidently vexed at the interruption, for
he was measuring soft soap.
"'Three cents worth of calamus,' l
said, still hoping against hope.
"'At's albany more; have bea-
nutt?'
"a good deal discouraged 1 nodded
assent. He took up small tin meas
ure, and, partly filling 1t, said:
"Bea. nuts is bea nuts now tags; we
bays hiZer as tollar Zometime.'
II put my three cents on the counter
not in his hand, as used to do-and
went sOrrOWfully away. l had seen
my John, but not my little sweetheart
he was dead; dead, for good and all,
and that night buried him in his own
cabbage garden; and, dear madam, this
is all the affair I ever had. "-ALICE

A NEW method of committing suicide
(?) is reported from the West. Some:
where in Wisconsin a man, who did
not enjoy perfect domestic felicity, In.
formed his wife that he was going 10
retire from this wicked world, and go
where weary husbands are at rest. He
left the house, but his partner followed
him. He reached the bridge, and there
was a splash. The wife shrieked and
tainted. Recovering at length, she
wendell her sorrowful way home and
husband appeared once more upon the
scene. He had thrown rock into the
river, and then lodged under the
bridge. The probabilities are that they
"made up" their difficulties.

THE Journal of Chemistry says that
fish may be kept alive for ten days or
more without water by filling their
mouths with crumbs of bread saturated
with brandy, and pouring little bran
dy into their stomachs, after which, in
this torpid state they may be packed in
straw. They become alive in few
hours when again placed in fresh water.
A very nice plan for dealers; but how
do the fishes like it? Besides, isn't
there danger of their acquiring bad
habits, and wanting brandy as steady
drink instead of water?
