WHOM NOT TO CHOOSE.

TO fhe bNifOT OF rue LFtON"C'
SIR: In an editorial allusiOn to The spicy let
ter from Elizabeth in yesterdays ISSUE wisely
New Jersey Republicans against selecting candidate
who is tainted with Erie" Allow me to add that
nostrs are familiar with the inragrance that surrounds
gentlemen whose political reputation IA tainted by con-
tact with corruption many other forms and Of such
we have no need Furthermore; divers modest gentle
men there are who would not refuse nomination If it
were thrust upon them; gentlemen apparently beyond
the reprOach Of dark ways and vain tricks but whose
friends are urging their selection for the very reasons
that will render them dstasefu TO that very respectable
fraction of voters who are not "in5de politics" We
don't want candidate chosen because Of his promise
20 spend certain thousands of dollars TO secure his
election. We confess 10 Some huniianR experience in
this line We do not want candidate selected because
he is the favorte Of any especial interest yet be-
he champions the opposition TO any such interest
We have for who is either the pet tool Of
any political faction or clique yet for man chosen
solely for his ability to conound the Vaccinations of any
such combination. We oppose the selection OF a
the ground that he resides north south OF any given
parallel Of latitude. We assured that liberal do
nations party pur. constitute OF themselves
paramount claim iOr nomination.
Give us a man OF acknowledged force and character;
one has the courage, the HmDc5s, and the presence
OF mind to take bold stand IN emergencies. One Of
such marked personal independence 20 preclude the
feasibility of his being Used, anG OF succut sgdty to
prevent his being fOCted. INDEX.

Model Modesty.

Some years ago the editor of the Jones.
borough (Tenn.) Wig thus announced
bis intention Of bringing out q religious
paper: "We feel competent to the task
Of editing andpublishing work on politics
one on religion, one on science, and anoth-
er on anything you please, all the same
time! Our genius is bounded on the east
by the rising sun; on the west by the hor-
izon; one the south by the shores Of time;
and on the north the farthest limits Of truth
light up our pathway by day and by night
We could say moro about our abilities, and
we would do so but for our great modesty.
Let those who are in doubt as to our tai
ents subscribe, either for the Wing or the
Reuiew, and, our word for it, they will
soon say of US, MS the Queen Of Sheba
said Of Solomon, half has never yet been
told"

Ono Good Turn Deserves Another

One Good Turn Deserves Another.
Out on the Union Pacific, railroad
officials put on good many frils and John
Shreve one Of the division rcpairers is one
Of the most fairy roostcrs that is known at
the West. He is noted chiefly for two
things-his overbearug disposition and his
euurmous feet One day he was standing
near a TURF table where some men were at
work, when Jimmy Duffy, aud Irish wag
recently from the East, approached him
and the following dialogue took place:
"Can ye give me the time, Mr.. shreve?'
"The time, you impudent rascal" ex-
claimed Shreve, viewing him scornfully,
"What business have you TO ask questions
Of your SUPERIOR"
II beg your pardon, sir, said Jimmy,
"but seeing your worship wore a watch,
and wishing to know the time | thought it
no harm to inquire"
shreve was mollided by Jimmy's aattery
and drew out bis watch, and 10 the aston
ishment Of all present, who had expected
to see Dnfy knocked down for his temeri-
ty informed, the the interrogater that it
wanted two minutes Of twelve o'clock.
"Thauk you, sir" said Duffy; adding
with malicious grin, his eyes bent on bis
superior's feet, ''if ye will be so kind
Shrevy, dear, as to step on the turn-tablc
I will move around your hoofs so ye cau
60 to dinner"
At last accounts Jimmy was out Of
situation, and was on the look out for some
one who would lend him sufficient money
to "get across the plains" en- route fol
home.

A Good Story.

In one Of the towns Of Pennsylvania the
freemen had for many years deposited their
votes solidly for thcdemocratic candidates
Such thing as a Wing or Republican was
unknown, and prior to the Seymour and
Grant campaign in the fall Of 1868 no To-
cal Republican ticket had ever been run.
AT that time, however, the politicians o'
an adjacent township thoughtit an oppor-
tune occasion to attemptt the establishment,
in that town, of a Republican organization
To this end they persuaded certain Mr.
Green, who had recently settled there, to
become their candidate for some minor
Office, hoping to procure for him a few
votes under the popularity Of the great
name Of Grant, and thus to get an enter
ing wedge in the local affairs tue town.
Q
ship.
The day of election arrived, but Mr..
Green was unable to get to the polls by
reason of sickness. In due time the re-
turns we're published, and Mr.. Green had
just one vote. Chagrined at this and an-
noyed by tho accusation that be had voted
for himself, be announced that if the per-
son who bad voted for him would come
forward and make affidavit to the fact he
would reward him with q good suit of
clothes. A few mornings afterward a
burly, stupid.looking Pennsylvania Dutch
man called upon Mr.. Green, and promptly
remarked: II wants dat suit Of cloes."
"Ahm said Mr.. Green, "then you are
the man that voted for me?"
"Yah, I'm dat man."
"Arc you willing to make an affidavit Of
it?"
"Yah, I swear to'em."
Mr.. Green, accompanied by the intelli-
gent voter, went to the Office of the justice
Of the peace, and the required affidavit was
made; after which the clothes we're purchas-
ed and given to the deponent.
So delighted was Mr.. Green to be re-
lieved from the unpleasantness of his stu
alton, and so glad to learn that there was
another righteous man in the township,
that he had taken the Dutchman's Repub-
licauism as matter Of course. However,
at parting, he said: "Now, my friend,
you have your suit Of clothes, just answer
me one question How came you to vote
for mel"
"You want to know dat?'
eyes"
"And you won't go back on the cl0es9'
"No."
"Vcll," said be, slowly, and With o sly
twinkle Of the eye, "don | tole you; l
makes a mistake in de ticket"
Wasn't that consolatory Mr.. Green
avows his unaltcrable determination never
.gain to appeal to popular suffrage for
public position.

Public Opinion,

Public opinion, like the atmosphere, is
composed Of successive layers, and has
different degrees Of density. For this
reason, it is we'll, in speaking Of opinion,
to consider its classification. There is first
the opinion Of fashion, which is begot OF
discomfort. 1t lies very near The surface
Of the earth, and holds many malarial el-
ements. There is, next, an opinion bred
Of knowledge, aud which moves in circu-
latory currents, as events change and o.
waken a sense Of new duties. And there
is, lastly, the higher opinion, resting on
calm immutable principle. This is found
in the higher regions ofreaectiug thought,
aud, in tho end, rules inferior opinion.- =
A wcll-conducted newspaper, intent on
bene6,ing its readers, will never forget tho
existence or relation Of these three orders
Of opinion. Frctful opinion, sagacious
self-iutcrcst, and highsouled principle, are
all at work, making and modifying what
We style public opinion.

Renorse.

Society is full Of wretched men who per-
petually carry moral cancer in their hearts,
and writhe under unconfessed remorse and
shame, which embitter their lives. The
temptations to sin are insidious,and promise
we'll at first; but those who yield to them
find the promise lie, the expected sweet
a bitterness in the soul, and all the effects
like the poison ofasps and the sting Of ad-
ders. Low, vulgar sinners fear the pen
altics of civil law; but these are trivial
compared to the scorpion lashes which a.
wait men Of conscience and honor who
violate moral law and incur the moral re-
suits Of per6dious deeds.

ANOTHER GIRL FULL OF NEEDLES. -
Last Sunday evening young girl, who
lives on the Raleigh road, complained Of
a violent pain in the head and right
cheek At first the mother of the girl
thought that nothing serious would re-
suit, and that visit Of doctor was not
necessary. About 10 o'clock the same
night the pain in the head and cheek be-
gan to cease The child's eyes closed
and her pains were forgotten in sleep.
The mother, who watched lncessantly at
her daughters bed side, thought that be-
fore morning all would be well but this
was not the case. The sick girl awoke
before five o'clock the next morning and
began to cry in most lamentable man.
ner Her mother inquired for the cause
Of this. The daughter replied that she
had terrible PAIN in her right arm she
felt as though something was sticking
her there. From the way she suffered, it
was at last concluded to send for doe
tor. The physician came about nine
o'clock, and ordered some liniment to be
rubbed on the painful arm. The next

ho found they were hard The girls's
mother then remarked that these dots
looked like the heads Of needles. The
doctor could not believe that there was
such thing in Mary's arm; however, to
please the mother, he applied small pair
of pinchcrs to one Of the spots. Now,
imagine the surprise Of those present
when he pulled out of the flesh three
needles, which formed the three spots up
on the arm. But this is not the end
The physician continued his visits three
more mornings. extracting each morning
two more needles. After this Msry's
pains passed away, and now she is as
we'll as any Of us. Can some scientific
