Whatever may have been your
opinions of that party, it is tonight
simply a question between a Demo-

There is no middle ground for you
to occupy. You are either upon
one side or the other. If you fail
to vote on the Republican side, it is
half a vote for the Democratic can

A Joke on the Rail.

A well known Brooklyn politician,
noted for his waggery, stopped the con
ductor Of an Albsny-bound train on
which he was journeying last winter
and asked innocently if the next station
was POughkeepsie. ono, " said the con
ductor. On his next fare-Collecting
round the conductor was again asked il
the train was near Eoughkeepsie; tC
which he again replied negatively
Again and again, as the Official made
his rounds the same question was asked
by the anxious passenger, until at last
the man of checks REPLIED with some
little irritation in his tone:
'No, sir; we are not yet near your
stopping place. Pray trust to me, and
I will let you know when we shall get
there"
The passenger thereupon relapsed into
silence, and the official, engrossed with
other duties, forgot his case until the
train had left Poughkeepsie about half a
mile to the rear, when recollecting him
self, he hastily backed the cars to the
station, and rushing up to the trouble
some passenger, cried out;
"This is Poughkeepsie. Hurry up
and get off. We are behind time"
"Oh, thank you," deliberately drawled
the quondam questioner; "but I am
going through. NY daughter cautioned
me particularly I'd take pill at Pough-
keepsie. That's all"
The pill was taken-and so was the
joke--by the passengers.

The discovery Of existing glaciers
in Northern California leads The
Academy to remark that the Al,

in the Rocky Mountains. The gla-
cier discovered by Mr.. Clarence
King, near Mount Shasta, in Sep

more than three miles long; but
there is one still larger on Mount
Rainer, Washington Territory, five
miles broad on the mountain and
ten miles in length.

The dome of the Capitol at Wash
ington, is the most ambitious struct-
ure in America. It's one hundred
and eight feet higher than the
Washington Monument at Balti-
more, sixty-eight feet higher than
that ofBunkerhill, and twenty-three
feet higher than the Trinity church
tower of New York. 1t is the only
considerable dome of iron in the
world. 1t is a vast hollow sphere
of iron, weighing 100000 pounds
How much is that? More than
1900 tons, or about the weight of
10000 full grown people, or about
equal to 1000 laden coal cars,
which, holding four tons apiece,
would reach two miles and half.

Try what you can make of the
broken fragments of time. Clean up
its golden dust; those raspings and
parings of precious duration; those
leavings of days and remnants of
hours which so many sweep out of
existence. And thus, if you be a
miser Of moments, if you be frugal
and hoard up odd minutes and half
hours and unexpected holidays, your
careful gleanings may exc out long
and useful life, and you may die at
last richer in existence than multi
tudes whose time is all their own

Often have I thought with myself
I will sin but this one sin more, and
then I will repent of it and of all
the rest of my sins together. So
foolish was I and ignorant; as if I
should be more able to pay my
debts when I owe more; or as if I
should say, will wound my friend
once again, and then I will lovingly
shake hands with him. But what

with me? Besides, can one COM

more?-T Thomas Fuller.

The Editor sat in his sanctum, and looked the old

Then glanced at the grinning young hopeful, and
mOurnfully made his reply:

"RebePs Cave" is the appropriate
locality from which Henry Clay
Dean writes to New York paper
that he is opposed to the ''New De.
parture," and sticks to his old faith
which he thus defines:
81 was honestly opposed to the
war and its consequences, and in
favor of the repudiation of the pub.
lie debt or its payment in green
backs"
Is not this short and comprehen-
sive platform, after all, just about a
fair expression Of Democratic opin-
ion in Ohio to-day? Would not
nine Democrats throw up their hats
with sympathetic delight over this
confession Of faith, where one gives
a faint hurrah for the nineteen plat
itudes of the Departure? The Dean
platform is the thing.
