POLITICAL.

Josiah Turner, Jr., editor of the Raleigh
Sentinel, is spoken of as the Democratic
candidate tor Governor of North Carolina.
Canvassing for the next political cam
paign in New Hampshire has begun at
this early day. The names most pMmi-
nently mentioned for the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor are the Rev. James
Pike of Newmarket, Horton D. Walker,
of Portsmouth, B. J. Cole of Guilford, and
J. ID. Lyman of Exeter.
The Ellsworth correspondent of the,Bos
ton Advertiser. speaking of the Hancock
County Convention says: The Convention
expressed no opinion upon the choice of
United States senator, and Messrs. Bart
lett and links are free from any pledges.
1t is supposed, however, that they favor
the reelection of Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill,.
When death occurs from natural causes
in Tennessee, it is customary to append to
the newspaper notice the words, politics
had no agency in the difficulty"
The Raleigh Standard says that many
counties in the recent election were lost
by the Republicans by default, and many
of the Democratic gains were made by
very small majorities. 1t urges an entire
reorganization of the party.
The Philadelphia Press says that the Re-
publicans of the interior are manifcsting
an unusual interest in the coming cam
paign, although no State or national ticket
is to be voted for this fall "All the indi-
cations are that the party in the good old
keystone State was never in better oondi-
ton or more confident of victory. The
rural Democracy have no new arguments,
and are relying solely upon their old party
cry of "white mans government"
The Democratic Congressional Commit
tee is issuing its campaign documents rap
idly. Thus far, fifteen have been printed
and quantities of each are mailed daily
The principal subjects treated of are the
tariff, railroad land grants, expenditures
of the government, condition of the debt,
naturalization laws, and congressional in
vestigations.

places where the people resist, the Prus-
SLAMS are very cruel, but otherwise they
are disposed to be orderly, quiet and kind.
Many peasants kill their horses to prevent
the Prussians from taking them.
A correspondent of the Boston Advertis-
er says: The German army, if those who
have passed through Frankfort are fair
specimens of the whole, is composed of
strong, sober, and earnest men, who leave
their homes not with any vain boastings on
their lips, but with a firm determination to
win or die written plainly on their coun-
tenances,-an opinion which battle be-
tween this time and the time you receive
this letter may prove correct ctorerroneous." -"

The Bangor Wing says that on Monday
evening as Messrs. ii. +. Mclaughlin and
David Doane were returning from Pushaw
they drove upon the right hand side of the
bridge near Morse's Mills, when their horse
struck pole which had been put across the
drive. midway Of the bridge, upsettiug the
whole establishment and throwing both out

Seavey's Office for repairs. Both were very
badly bruised about the head and face Mr.,
Doanr's hand wrcnched, and Mr.. McLaugh-
Inns hip twisted and bruised As to nearly
disqualify him from walking, but no bones
were broken. There was no light on the
bridge. and had they been driving fast it is
probable that one or both would have been
killed or manned for life.

The Masonic lodges all over Europe are
taking up considerable contributions in aid
of the wounded and disabled victims of
the war.
The seat of government of Baden has
been removed from Carlsruhe to the small
town of Wertheim, on the Bavarian from
tier, because of the exposed situation of
the former place.
The police authorities of Rome announce
that all strangers living in the city, and
within four miles of the wall, must obtain
permits of residence, and without such
papers they will be liable to expulsion.
This precaution is taken to prevent the
emissaries of Italy from entering the city
and creating trouble.

Shonld the Prussians continue to be as
successful in the next thirty days as during
the last thirty, the war will be brought to II
close within that time, in all probability.
The good Judgment, energy and skill with
which they have conducted their opera
tions are as far above expectation as the
management of Napoleon falls below
They have thrown the whole burden of
war upon the enemy's country, obliging
the aggressor to fight wholly upon the de-
fensive, threatening the capture of Paris,
and shaking the throne of Napoleon to its
base. 1t is not too much to believe, that
within thirty days Napoleon will be fugi-
tive without kingdom or power, and France
be humbled at the feet of Germany and
considering the reconstruction of her gov
erment. Already the other great powers
are looking at this probable result, and de-
batting It's effect upon them. They are I'M
easy about the "balance of power and
propose to have word to say about the
settlement of the difficulty, fearing that
Prussia may get to be stronger than they
like. They don't care how much France
and Prussia pummel and weaken each
other, but they do care to keep the victor
from increasing his strength by his success.
The Albany Journal reminds its readers
that "however heavy the taxes may be, the
Democratic party is responsible for them.
That party, when Buchanan was President,

From Hl,per's Magazine far September.
A SUNSET MEMORY.
BY A2ELLA NJ. SMITH

Once as fell the shades of evening,
AT the close of the long day,
Sat we, in the lengthening shadows,
In the old time far away
Sat we, till the stars came cleaning,
Through the twilight soft and gray.
We had watched the golden sunset
Fading in the crimson west,
While upon the glowing hill tops
Clouds of amber seemed to rest,
Till the twilight closed around them,
In her hazy mantle dressed.
Then listened to the story
That his lips so fondly told
Words Of passionate devotion,
Words Of love that ne er grow cold
Filling all my heart with lightness,
Threading all my life with gold.
Always, when the sunset glory
Trails above the Western hills
All the music of that story
Through my inmost being thrills
Tunes my sad heart to rejoicing,
And with peace my spirit fills.
Since first Loves nectar tasted
Years have swept to Times abyss
All Lite's choicest hopes been wasted
But my visions now of bliss
In that other Life are founded
On the one glad hour in this
Years may roll and tempests gather,
Storms may cloud YOUTH azure sky,
Brightest locks may blanch to silver,
Frosts Of Time may dim the eye,
But pure hearts first devotion
Always lives-it cannot die.

Il would take one step forward and slide

"then how did you get here at all. if that
was the case p "Oh," said the boy,
scratching his head on finding himself
caught, Il turned around and walked the
other way"
