the town of Durham much damage was
caused. The saw mill, dam and bridge,
near 4. Johnson's, were swept away.
South of Durham a bridge is impossible

The Midland Railroad has penetrated a

excursion by rail was an, event Up ,biSeXpeI

gathered its way again. The venerable

from one end of the car to the other, up to
the roof, and then out of the window, at
the same time drawing himself nervously
to the inside extremity of the seat. FL
nally the door at the forward end of the
car opened to admit the conductor on his
round after the way fare. The sudden
clatter of the wheels over the iron road
that reached the ears of the astonished
traveller completely overcome his self-pos-

assurances, declining to receive double or
treble fare, which was generously rendered,
until the train reached the next station,
when the old gentleman went over one side
OF the platform as soon as the cars had
come to stand with an alacrity that was
surprising in one of his years. When
safely landed again on terra firma, he took

A .Japapese story.

In his attractive book, The Capital Of the
tycoon Sir Rutherford Alcock tells Jap
anese story of good old couple who had
favorite dog, in which dwelt benefcent
spirit: =" One day the dog led its master
into q forest and showed him a hidden
treasure. Now the old man must always
be talking, and he told this afterward to!a
wicked neighbor, who made the dog take
him to the same forest, but only found
stones in the place where the treasure had
been. Thereupon he killed the dog and
buried him in the same place, at the foot of
u tree. When the old man learnt this he
cut down the tree, and made the branches
into little chapel in memory of the good
dog, and out Of the trunk he made mortar
to pound his rice in. So soon, however, us
he began to use the mortar, he found that
gold came out of it. The old man could
not keep quiet, and his neighbor soon came
to- hear of that and he sent ationce TO bor-
row the mortar. But he could get no gold
out of it; 50 in his wrath he burnt it 10
ashes. The old man begged to have the
ashes, and took them home and the next
night the dog appeared to him in dream
and told him to take the ashes of the NOR
tar on the following day and stand on the
highway with them; and when he should
see ddiyRio pass by with his retinue, not
to fall on his knees, but to answer the sum-
mons of the guards and say that he was O
magician, and could cover dead trees In q
moment with the most beautiful blossoms.
The next day the old man did as the dog
told him, and when the guards brought
him before the daimio, he threw handful
of ashes into, the airs upon which tree
growing near Immediately began to bios
som. Then the ddimio was astOnished anC
took the old man with him TO his palace
and sent him away soon after with ricf
presents. When the enViOus neighbOI
heard of this, he again came to the ole
man, and begged TO have at least the ashe
of the mortar. So he gave them, and h'
tried to do the same with them as the oil,
man had done. But this time there wer
no flowers, and the dust flew into the ddi
MOS eyes; so the dqitatO cut down tn
poor man, and his guards cut off his head.

A Radical paper declares that the nomI-
nations made for the General Assembly by
the Relormers do not, as I; general rule, in
dicate either more of intelligence or more of
honesty than the nominations by the Scott
party. This looks very pretty, but "what is
sit when it's billed and peeed?" Chief
among the Scott nominations for the Legis-
lature are C) Timothy Hurley-a notorious
lobbyist, who Loasts that he has bought the
General Assembly many time, and can do
it again, and who argues that Scott oughtto
he supported, because he has already stolen
all he needs, while new man would have
to begin at the bottom; 60 Joe Crews
who tells Tie colored people that they may
help themselves to lie property OF the whites,
and burn down their houses if they are still
dissatisfied; (3) B. F. Whiltemore-whom
a Radical Congress has branded as one who
is unworthy to represent the people, and
whose proper place, according to Horace
Greeley, is the State penitentiary. Without
going any farther, here are three prominent
Radicals OF the Scott persuasion who, sepa-
rately aud collectively, are confessed'y an-
worthy Of the confidence of the public There

ton whether General Scott has not been

examinations of thesswelling, and each pro-
nounced it an erectlle tumor, whereupon it
was decided to reduce 1t by the novel appllca-
tIon of electricity. The General was placed
under the influence of ether, and four large
needles were then driven into the tumor. The
battery was applied, and so great was the force
thai two powerful men could with difficulty
hold the patient upon the bed. In half an
hour after the withdrawal of the needles, the
swelling began to disappear, and when the
patient recovered consciousness he expert
enced entire relief. He is of course very weak

Mrs. Anais rHeritier, widow of the late
editor of the New York Courier des Etats
Unis, is suing Leon Mnnier, the present edlt-
or, for breach of promise of marriage, claim
Ing $4,000 damages, and he is held in $4,000
bail. The lady's affidavit states that she has
known the defendant about seven years; that.
during her husbands last years, Mianier was
associated editorially with him, and promised
at rHeritier's deathbed to protect and watch
over her and her children; that in July,
1869, he proposed marriage anu was accepleu,
after which he went to Paris to visit his
mother, promising to bring back the bridal
trousseau for his promised wife; tnat,
after his return in October, he promised
before witnesses to marry her in Januaryi
that he subsequently put off the wedding TO
July, on the plea that he did not wish to mar
nv till he had gained his fuh interest In the pa
per. and that finally on the 26th Of September
he refused to perform his promise, declaring
that he was engaged to marry Madame
Roux, lately divorced. Size further asserts
that the defendant has told her since July tnat
his income was about $4,000 per annum.
Madame rHeritler is thirty-tour years OF age,
possessed of a finished education, and has
moved in good society. NJ. Minnier Is two
years her senior, and she holds about fifty
letters from him, in which he addresses her in
the most impassioned language OF love.

The argument of sthe Scott Radicals
amounts to this. A thief is,caught in the
act of rifing his masters purse. There is
n doubt of his guilt The gates OF the Jail
yawn to receive him. And, as last chance,
hs.prays he may be discharged and have
license to pick pockets without molestation,
because his victim might, if be had chance,
do the very same thing. Under the circum-
stances, however, we had rather not trust
the piekpocket. This line of conduct may
be harsh and cruel but it jumps with the
opinions of tens of thousands of our people,
who, next week, will cast their votes for Re-
form.

A Full Vote.

During these last days of the campaign,
every nerve should be strained to poll full
vote. The regular committees will be ac-
lively at work, and, besides lhis every hon
est man in the State should lend a helping
hand. There will be time enough for busl-
ness when the elections are over And, in
truth, the most profitable business in which
any man can engage is that OF ensuring the
victory of the Reform party-the party OF
Honesty and Low Taxation. Every vote
gained for Carpenter and Butler is q step to-
wards reducing the cost of the State govern
ment In this way taxation may be dimin-
ished at least one-third. This is the practi-
cal view of it. The Reform party does not
deal in dne-spun fancies and professional dis
putation. 1t appeals to every man who has
dollar to lose, and bids him save it from
the clutches Of the Scott tax-gatherer. This
is the secret of its hold upon the masses Of
the people.
Every man, then, should do his best for the
party. The responsibility cannot be put on
other shoulders. 4 full vote elects Reform
Governor and Lieulenant-Governor and a
Reform Legislature, and this full vote will be
polled if the people who ure most deeply in
terested go to work in earnest until election
day. This is no time for trusting to ones
.neighbors. Every good citizen should make
it his practice TO use all his spare moments
in canvassing for Reform Victory, com
plete victory, is within our grasp. Shall ii
not be Won?

MAKING the best of it, the Scott Radicals
protest that the Reformers are 'disgrun-
'tled;" because United States troops are
sent into the disturbed counties of the up
country. This is just what we wanted. The
United States regulars know their duty, and
will 'not-indeed, dare not-interfere with
the elections. All that we ask Tor is ialr
election, which the people intend TO have,

A RADICAL sheet says it can 'endure re-
"buke from the righteous" Then why is it
so restive under the criticisms Of the party
OF Reform? Surely, party headed by Car
penter and Butler, and sustained by Wade
hampton, KerSlaw, Bonham, Conner Dun
kin, Perry, and host OF others like them,
is as likely to be righteous as the concern
whose shining lights are Scott, Nash, Crews,
Hurley and Whittemore!
