OK Ir.--Our boat on the Ohio had
stopped to take in some wood On
the shore was a remarkably stupid
looking fellow with his under lip hang
ing down.
A dandy, ripe for scrape, mods and
winks all round, saying:
"Now I'll have some fun, I'll brighten
the greenhorn."
He jumped ashore with a large
drawn bowie-knife, and brandished it
in the face of the green 'un, exclaiming:
rNow I'll punish you've been
looking for you. for a week"
The man stated stupidity at his as
sailant; he evidently did not know
enough to be scared, but as the bowie
knife came near his face his fist sudden
ly vacated his pocket, and fell hard and
heavy between the eyes of the dandy,
and the poor fellow was laundering in
the Ohio.
Greeny jumped on board our boat,
put his hands in his pocket, and looking
around, said:
Maybe there's somebody else that's
been looking for me for week"

of Commerce, who had an interview with
President Grant few days ago, says that the
President admitted belief that there are ma
ny very bad men in Office in the South
claiming to be Republicans, but who would be
anything in the political line that would fur

charseable to the account of the Republican
party as great political ORGANIZATION. He
believes large number of Ku Klux Outrages
have been committed, but that the gradual
advance OF a better feeling throughout the
South, besides the moral effect of the pas

Kluxism and outlawry to very great extent.
| He did not propose, in making appointments,
to consult politicians in the South WHO vote
against the Republican party any more than
be would in the North. But he was determin'
ed 10 give them honest and competent Govern

The Mexican Pre.idenex.

The returns of the electoral vote for Presi-
dent of Mexico has been nearly completed and
shows that the votes are quite evenly divided
between the candidates, Jaurez, the present
executive, being second in the list. There is
danger that Mexico will fall back TO its former
method of settling such questions by revOlu-
ton and civil war. The only hope is in the
antecedents of the three candidates. brief
account of whom will be of interest: '-'S
General Diaz is the youngest of the three
candidates. He is popular and successful
soldier, who rose to distinction by his gallantry
during the campaigns Of the French invasion
and the overthrow of Macmillan. He was
Military Governor at that time of Juarezs
own State OF Oaxca, and one of his staunch
supporters, IL is to his credit that during the
past few years he has repeatedly refused the
solicitations of the revOlutiOniets TO head an
insurrection against the Government, though
was quite willing to become their candidate
| for President in the lawful and constitutional
way. E.r.
President Juarez is the one of the three can
didates best known in this country. He has
been for the past twelve years the Executive
head of the Republic, and to his indomitabe
perseverance and honesty of purpose, Mexico
owes much of her comparative tranquility and
progress since the overthrow of the Empire.
He has repressed with q strong ha,id ali at
tempts at revolution, has encouraged CONNER
cial enterprise, and sought to cultivate and
preserve friendly relations with the United
States. Like the mass of the Mexican people,
he is of more than half Indian descent. His
friends still claim that he received the majority
OF the votes, but that they are wrongfully
withheld from him by his Congressional Oppo-
nents, who have the advantage that they con-
troll the counting. Ihi+te @.
Senior Lerdo is perhaps the most capable
and experienced statesman who has of late
participated in the public affairs OF Mexico.
He was long member of the Cabinet, and,
until jast beioIe the presidential canvass, was
Minister of Foreign Relations and chief coun-
ssllOr of President Juarez Less popular with
the masses, he is highly esteemed by the edu-
Gated and cultivated. He is nearly, if not
quite, pure Spanish blood. While he has re-
ceived the lowest number of votes, it is evil
dent that in the event OF an election by Con-
gress, he holds the balance of power. Should
his supporters combine with those of either
Diaz or Juarez, that would secure their cleo
ton, in which case he would doubtless be able
to resume, If he wished, his old position of

The Young LADY OF THE PERIOD.-The
Newport, r. l., correspondent of the Boston
Post says that fine lad yship as it existed years
ago. when our mothers and grandmothers were
young, is going out of fashion and in its place
is coming free and easy sort of manner, a
tate for out-of door sports and a fondness for
slang. The fashionable young lady at the
watering place adopts masculine phrases, and
straightway they lose their coarse and hard
moss and take something of sweetness about
them. Their conversations sometimes are
something decidedly funny to- any nnA who
chances to be listener.
"How swell you do look, this morning."

makes her appearance on the piazza prepare
tory to going into breakfast. Looking intent
ly at her, and seeing the look of admiration
which her friend bestowed upon her, it was
evident that "swelf was something very nice,
and the term was used in strong approval.

up myself. You see laid myself out on it,
and think 1 accomplished my end"
"Indeed, you did that hat is perfectly kill

it was very simple. 1t was of coarse, rough

a cherry silk scarf passing around it, knotted
little to one side, the broad ends falling to-
ward the back. The brim was lined with the
same soft shade. ..I.. r
The wearer was bright, sparkling brunette,
with hazel eyes that were perpetually dancing
with an appreciation of everything funny that
was going on around. Her dark hair was
crinped, tue friEzed mass falling over the fore
head and eyes; the hat was percbed quite high
on the head, alter the style of wearing now-a-
day, which differs very much from the fash
ions of last winter.
The dress was a white French muslin, made
very plainly, with only deep hem on the un-
der and over skirts. The body wa pleated in
three large pleats, back and front, and through
the centre of these ran black thread lace iD-
sertion, the effect of which was very pretty. A
broad cherry sash was tied carelessly above the
pretty, round waist, and knot of the same
fastened the dainty bit of lace around the
throat, As the wind blew back her draperies
it revealed pretty foot in a cunning kid shoe,
with buckle on the top, and just bit OF
white hosiery. Her friend wore pale gray
suit with bands of the same shade of silk The
body was iacket-shaped and had a vest of the
silk. The last was leghorn trimmed with a
scarf of blue, and long blue feather The hair
was very prettily contrasted, both in dress and
style, and all the masculine eyes were turned
upon them as they walked down the long hall
to the dinning-roOm together.

The Kennebec Valley Camp Meeting

To TIE Editor Of the Press:
The New England series of camp meetings
ara ushered in by the Maine meetings for the
experience and promotion Of holiness in the
beautiful valley of the Kennebec. The church,
es generally from this side of Portland and all
along the river are well represented. There
are hundreds of tents on the ground of every
description OF make some from as far away as
New YORK and Massachusetts. There are also
very many board houses of one story and one
room, some are small and tasty, and we could
but recall the remark of Prof Cleayelapd of
Bowdoin when presented with cane, Gen
tlemen, thank you; some canes are made for
use and some for ornament; this looks as though
1t was made for use, thank you'' So we
thought OF some of the tents and houses, The
great theme of the ministers is holiness to the
Lord In heart and life. There are yarious con-
lectures as to how many persons are present
Some say 1000, some 5000, and some 5000. The
preaching thus far has been clear and practi-
cal. The ministers are full of the spirit and
power that brings souls to reflect and consider
upon the Importance of seeking salvation
through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ There
is colored sister here who is a sweet singer,
and her words are full of power and pathos as
she fixes her keen eye on the crowd that CON
stantly surround her, many of whom are often
affected to tears, others to rejoicing in the
name of the Lord. Several have been con-
verted and sanctifed in spirit, and if holiness
is the gift of power by which the world is to be
brought to Christ then this meeting ought to
be characterized by the conversion of hun
1reds. This meeting is somewhat of novelty
IS it is the first expressly for this grace ever
leld as a State meeting; but as the district
meetings through the State are now to follow
n quick succession, we hope they will keep
he banner of "holiness 10 the Lord flying
ver all their grounds. We have five more

THE Boston Post insist that American YES
sells engaged in the foreign trade have to pay
tonnage dues every time the vessel comes to
home port, on the statement of Mr.. Blanch-
ard of Yarmouth and Mr.. White of Belfast
The act of Congress says expressly: 1.-THE
tonnage duty now imposed on all ships, ves-
sells or steamers engaged in foreign commerce,
shall be levied but once within one yesr, and
when paid by such ship, vessel, or steamer,
no further tonnage tax shall be collected
within one year from the date of such pay
ment." This is well understood by every COL
lector of customs. The Boston Advertiser
says the reason why the tonnage tax was not
removed altogether from American vessels en-
gagged in foreign trade was that it would car
ry with it the duty collected from foreign YES
sells also; and as very large proportion of our
trade is in foreign bottoms, the price of relief
was thought to be too great, and Democrats
and Republicans voted together against it.
