In fendleton's letter of acceptance Of
the Democratic nomination for the Gov
ernorship of Ohio, he rehearses the bur
dens under which the nation is groaning A.:
exhibits in 4 powerful light the needless
scarcity Of money, and consequent depres-

the Radicals have taken to collect the
revenue. So that commerce is ham2ered.
industry ciogged, swlndiing encouraged
and the worst kind OF speculation-that
which is founded on the necessities of life

the evils arising from s-legislation and
partial taxation. There is no doubt that
Pendleton will carry Ohio by an over
whelming majority.

A CHANGE OF Tuna Chicago pa
per says since Sambo has exhibited his
inability to control the Southern elections
in the interest of his earpetbagging Radi-
cal friends, the latter manifested dispo-
sition to dr,p him. \ while ago, it was
fashionable to credit the negroes with
about all th4 virtues, and hold til m W
as shining marks for the imitation Of white
trash. But Tennessee and Virginia have
been lost toloyalty through the apathy or
inability Of the colorei brethren; aud
therefore, correspondent Of Radical
newspaper proceeds remorseessly to smash
the ebony idol. He says the negroes will
steal the nails out of the heel of boot
He also says that their moral condition is
lower thar in slavery, there being no
check on Illicit connection. Religiously,
there is likewise decadence aud, upon
the whole, the race is going to the devil
at something higher than two-forty rate.

DIsTRUsT OF POMTICIANs.-Th light
vote east at tie recent Alsbama election
is explained By the theory, thntat present
the people entertain a general disgust for
politics and Politicians and have arrived
at the conviction that there is so little
choice betweer parties that all that is left
to the people Is the hope that the party
in power, whi.h ever it may be, will not
prove too corrupt and exacting. 1t is
feared that these views are by no means con-
fined to the South, and that the whole
American people are becoming more aud
more distrustful of their municipal State
and Federal representatives. If this state
OF affairs is allowed to continue, the coun-
try will be at the disposal of bold, reck-
less alventurers, and the United States
will become another Mexico, with its null
titudinous pronunciameutos and countless
rulers.

WHAT MAKES A HAPPY HOME?

Not stately piles Of brick and stone,
With lofty walls and towering dome,
Whose ancient halls to conrtly tread
Have echoed in the years now dead.
Not oaken door and staircase broad,
A banquet hall and bounteous board,
Where viands rare and sparkling wines
The fruit Of trees and blush OF vines.
In jewcled cup and silver plate.
By lackeys served, the palate wait.
While myraid jets throw dazzling light
On antique gem and sculpture white.
Not drappings rich of Tyrian dies,
And silken spreads where beauty lies,
Nor pertumed airs and garlands rare,
Can brush the lines from brows OF care.
Not these alone, for love may dwell.
And hearts with purest rapture swell,
Where art and skill with cunni6g hand,
Can ne'er earth's gifts at word command.
A lowly cot, with moss o'ergrown,
A cheerful fire on old hearthstone,
A frugal meal, IN humble bed,
A daily life with Jesus led -
A Bible old with we'll worn page,
Affection due to reverend age,
Ger such home as this, ween,
Angels have passed on wing unseen.
And when through airy circles back
To Heaven they've made their shining track
Tidings they II bear to God above
OF home on earth where throned sits Love.

THE GREAT DIAMOND DISCOVERIES

The news from Europe gives accounts Of
marvellous discoveries Of diamonds 10 South
Africa. They bad been found for miles
along the banks Of the Orange and Vaal
rivers. They were not only abundant, but
they were, many Of them, of great .ize.
Some we're found Of the pandsloqus shape
and Of the fret water, weighing upward Of
eighty csrats; Others OF the octahedron, or
four pointed, tba. weighed thirty csrats; aud
Of the smaller varieties immense numbers
had been picked up on The surface Of the
ground. Naturally, South Africa was in a
fermsnt. Elephants lusks we're forgotten,
and every one was bunting for preciou .
stones. The infection had even extended to
this city, and DR.. Hall was organizing a
colony to 60 diamond gathering. Bu,
now comes the reports from Australia Of
discoveries there, which far eclipse those
in Souih Africa. kilograms have come fly
ing from the Australian mines to Eogla
big enough TO make the diamond merchants
hold their breath with astonishment. The
giittering stones have been picked NJ 10
such quantities that, says the London Times
in leading article on the subject, "tbs col
onists are all dreaming Of precious stones.
Al every table and 10 every railway carriage
the talk is Of diamonds and rubies, opals
and emsra Ids, pearls and topazes, and peo-
pie Of all ranks are rushing to the mines.
Genuine diamonds are on sale by women
and children at every cottage. and there
can hardly be mistake. We should think,
about the nature Of the stones."
This is msrvsllous enough 10 all con-
science, but this is not half the story; the
rest Of it smscks Of he Arabian Knights
entertainments and Sinbad the Sailors ad-
ventures in the great diamond valley. to
which be flew on the back Of a mighty bird.
And this latter and wonderful half we must
preface with the statement, familiar doubt
less to many of our readers, that the increase
in the value Of the diamond is vastly greater
in proportion than its increase 10 weight.
A stone weighing one carat, for instance,
might be worth fifty dollars; but one weigh.
ing five carats would bs worth two thousand.
Imagine, then, the value of one as big as
lemon, and weighing three quarters of
pound Such one is said to bave been
found 10 Australia. its discovery has been
,elegraphed to England. 1t was placed in
the hands Of a trustworthy man. He was
surrounded by stcng Gordon Of military,
and was marched in this way to Sidoey,
where the ma, nlfcsnt gem was deposited
in the mint. The stone has not yet been
thoroughly 'es'ed. Biologists are at work
upon it Now; but If i, really proves to be
what j, supposed. its value will be almost
f:auIous. Its weight is 900 carsts. The
great English diamond, the pride Of the
British Empire, the Koh i.noor weighs but
lS6 ca,a,s and its computed value is ten
millions in gold. The value OF the stone
just found, if computed by the tables in use,
would be hundred millions in gold. Bu,
of course this value would in any event be
imaginary, since no purchaser could be found
with a hundred millions to spare for dia.
mond. even il it WAS as big as a lemon
