At no time have the democratic con-
ventions been so tame and devoid Of in
terest as this year. The position of the
present administration, especially in so
handsomely paying off the public debt
thus far every month, has left them with
out capital to work upon, and their reso-
buttons are without point, expressive on
ly of some "glittering generality" and
their old stereotyped attachment to the
democratic party" In the Southern
States they have in several instances
abandoned their distinctive organization,
and at the democratic State Convention
held in Maine on Tuesday, it is very
significant fact that there were delegates
there who desired to nominate Gov.
Chamberlin, the regular republican can
didate, hoping thereby to foment a
schism in the republican ranks, and
thereby aid themselves more so than in
in any other way. These elements show
at once that the old democratic party
has had its day. The sympathy which
its managers had with the rebellion dur
ing the war, doomed it long ago, and any
future success or prosperity to it can on
ly come by its fusion with some other
element.

AN OLD WOMAN REDEEMED FROM
SLAvERY.--The Cincinnati Chronicle
tells the story of Rebecca Whale, aged
6o years, who having passed all her DAYS
in the bond service of another. even
since the emancipation of her race, has
still remained in bondage to her former
master, ignorant of her freedom, until
released one week ago by a daughter
whom she had not seen for period of
over. twenty years. The mother and
daughter arrived in Chicago last week,
from plantation in the neighborhood of
Lexington, KY, where the old woman
had been born and raised, and where the
daughter, after long search, had found
still doing the drudgery for the family,
and living alone and neglected in mis-
cradle howell near the family mansion
with only a bundle of straw to sleep on
The daughter was sold from her mother
when young and taken to Louisiana,
where She was liberated by the war.

ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.-A South
Carolina paper-the Greenvilie Enter
prise-tells the following story connect
ed with the marriage of couple in that
place on Sunday of last week-the lady
having been long resident in the town:
" Thirty-three years have fed since the
parties became engaged, nor have they
seen each other in that time, and during
long portion of it were ignorant of each
others whereabouts. They were both
attached when mere children, in their ma
tive Ireland but when the engagement
became known the families of both were
opposed to it from opposite religious
views, and that of Miss Griffith contriv-
ed to send her, against her will, to the
United States. Mr. Grant, all disconso-
late, enlisted in the British army, not
being aware at first whittier the lady had
gone. His career as soldier continued
twenty-six years. In the meantime he
fought through the terrible Sepoy rebel
lion in India, making as many hair
breadth escapes in the imminent deadly
breach as Othello. He returned to Eng
land some three or four years ago, and,
having in the meantime had some cor
respondence with the lady by letter-for
his devotion never faltered-sailed for
this country. She was on her voyage at
the same time to old Ireland, and the
ships passed each other. He found his
way to the great West and having
been Frustrated by cholera, and losing
the means brought with him, he went to
Montana to recruit. Last Friday he ar
rived by the cars in Greenville, suddenly
and unheralded, and forthwith sought
the house of Miss Griffith, who knew him
instantly on sight, but he did not recog-
nlze her in the same manner, for she had
changed from the fragile girl to the ma
ture woman. OF course she was agitat-
cd and overjoyed as he was, and, there
being no longer any impeachment, an i'm.
mediate marriage was determined on
The result was their union on Sunday.
They both have the congratulations and
kindest wishes of this community, and
the good prospect, from apparent vigor-
GUS health, of enjoying many years of
happiness to crown their mutual and rare
consistency.

A State election occurs in Virginia
next Tuesday. The democrats run no
ticket of their own, but support I" con-
sentative" republican, against the re-
publican candidate for governor. The
contest is quite animated and may be
considered doubtful till after election,
though with the democratic vote solid
for the conservative ticket" they would
seem at this distance to be ahead, but
the straight republicans are likely to
carry sufficient number of the con-
gressional districts to make it tolerably
satisfactory.

OUTRAGE REPEATED.-On fourth page
will be found an account of dastardly
outrage upon fruit orchard in Michi-
gan at Benton Harbor, belonging to
Martin Green, where the entire neighbor-
hood turned out to save as many of the
trees as possible with grating wax and
bandages. The trees continued in vigo-
rous growth, and their labors were thus
crowned with abundant success, but the
scoundrel was not to be thus banked of
his revenge and malice. Two weeks ago
the orchard was again entered, the trees
completely girdled, and there seems to
be no doubt that this time the work of
destruction is effectually done. The
splendid orchard is now but field of
dead and decaying tree trunks, their
greenness departed, and all prospects Of
resuscitation vanished. The loss is at
least $4,000, and the affair creates great
excitement.

THE DEATH OF Mr.. RAYMoND.-We
have from private sources several par
ticulars of the death of Hon. III. j. Ray
mond, which have not been given in
print. Anexamination made after death
showed his brain to have been in heal
thy condition, and with no marks of pre-
vious disease, or tendencies thereto. His
death was owing to the bursting of q
bloodvessel in the brain. He ate late
and hearty dinner the day before his
death, and had eaten again later in the
evening. 1t is probable that there was
some congestion Of the brain from indi-
gestion. As he stopped to close the low
er bolt of his door, the strain brought by
the sudden stopping on the surcharged
blood vessels caused the catastrophy.
He at once fell insensible, and all the
medical assistance in the world, if rem
dered instantly, could not have saved
him.--Burlington Free Press.

Among the minor sensations Of ju-

of a " two-headed girl" The girl had
not only two heads, but two sets of arms
and legs, all in one waist. The mental
operations of the heads are entirely dis
tinct; and while one face is lively the
other is quite morose. They sing duet
quite nicely, the lively head taking the
soprano, and the other the alto. She,
or they, the distinction not being fully
apparent, is of pure negro blood, II years
of age, and formerly the property of a

on account of her marvellous defornity,
she was valued at $4,000.
