What Democrats Think fit.

The following is from the National
LafeHigsBeer, n paper mquestiOnably
Democratie,n on the New Departure:
Under these circumstances the Dem
Oeratic party has but one of two courses
/ to follow; either 10 keep up the fight
on the broad principles OfState Rights,
/ trusting to time and the people to rec
OgniZe the wisdom and Justice of its
position, yielding nothing, cOnceding
nothing, accepting nothing snort of a
complete and definite and permanent
settlement of the question; or to sur
render the whOlequestiOn at issue, sur
render State Rights, surrender Pop
uiar Sovereignty and Popular Liberty,
surrender the Union rs was, accept
the situation, not in part, but alto
gether, leaving no choice to the voter
between Democracy and Radicalism,
exeeptsinlmere question of administra-
ton or the chances Of spOiis.
For our part we prefer defeat with
men OF principle, To success with mere
time-seTvers and ol1ice-seekers. II
the Democratic party, Instead Of
adopting the Unprineipled platform Of
MIR. Nallandigham, choose to surren-
der the whole question OF State
Rights, we will abide by that decision
in good faith, and try to serve the
country in discussing the finances, the
tariff, and other questions OF admin
istTatiOn. But until it takes that man
ly attitude, we prefer to write for and
think and act with men of honor and
principle. E.
We refuse 10 "depart" half way
We have something else 80 do in this
world besides keeping up running
fight from tree TO tree, abandoned by
every man of honor in the country,
AID tauntcd by our own convictions
The party should either totally aban-
bon the principle of State Rights or
stand by them forever.

Dog Rnttnns Inenerfire.

a butcher down town Saturday
asked an officer for a dog button "a
"pOisOn his dog ded." The Officer
handed the butcher two carlamon
seeds, and instructed him to serve
them in two doses. y nice chunk Oi
beef was wrapped about the seed, and
the butcher dropped il into the dogs
jaws, with the remark. az GUESS YOU
don't like meat any more Just now. -
The dog swallowed il down greedily,
and ia ten minutes the other seed fol-
lowed the same road.
\ half hour after the policeman
passed by and asked the butcher if his
dog was dead. The animal was sun
ming himself, laZily, occasionally
swapping at the flies, which, to the
butchers eyes, was all evidence that
the poison was doing its deadly work,
and he replied:
ayes, he lif about ten minutes; den
you see a ded dog round here.1
Another half hour passed and the
dog WAS frisking about in the hest Of
spirits, when the officer again called
and remarked:
"WeH, he's dead, ain't lac ~
dead, trr-leviI. lie ish got more
lifrs in him than ever. DOg-buttOns
is just what he wants, and / pelieve
IN just take dat dog down To der
river aud swim him Ia der bottom,

Keen.ng A Secret.

The father of Papirius, as n Senator
of Rome, one day took him TO the sell
ate, when they deliberated on some
subjects of Importance On hi-s return
his mother asked him what had pass
eel at the senate. The young Papirius
answered that he was ordered not to
speak of it. This answer, rs we may
readily conceive, only augmented his
mothers curiosity. She became more
solicitOus, and employed every means
in her power To obtain the inlOrma-
ton she wished. Her son, to avoid
any further opportunities, and to sat
Isfy his mothers anxiety, told her
that they had been deliberating
whether il would be better for the
public 10 suffer the men to have two
wives or the women tO have two hus-
bands. The senator's wife, enraged a
this pretended deliberatiOn, went i'm
mediately, though she had promised
sccreSy, and communicated her fears
10 some other Roman ladies. The
next morning a large body of indig-
nant wives presented themselves at
the door of the senate, and in u voice
declared that il would be far better tO
let the women have two husbands,
and We're incensed that they should
determine 4 matter of such impOr-
tance without hearing what they had
to say. The senate, not understand
ing the women's requests, was thrown
into great Consideration; when the
young PapiriuS arose and related in
what way ne eluded his mothers Gu
riOsity. The wives retired; the pru-
denee Of young Papirius was praised;
but it was resolved that ia future no
young man, except Papirius, should
he admitted into the senate.

Nrs. Samuel CoIt.

The richest widow in America is
said 90 be the handsome and we'll pre-
served relict Of Samuel Colt, the man
who, If he did not invent the revolving
firearms, was was shrewd enough to
reap the principal profit that accrued
from the discovery of that eminently
American Institution. Mrs. Colt re-
sides i'm Hartford Connecticut, ard her
income for the year 1870 amounted to
the respectable sum OF Si4O,OOO. Her
estate is valued at five millions, and
among its beautiful attractions is one
Of the most artistically designed and
most completely appointed churches
in the country, costing some 500, 900.
The service is the Episcopal, and the
rectOris salaried at Mrs. Colts expense,
rs also is the Organist. Ib was erected
by her ~ a place Of worship for the
operatives i'm her shops and other fam
lilies, but so fine was the church in its
appointments that IL straightway be-
came the most fashionable place Of
worship in the city. This was not at
all what the owner Of the place had
intended it for, and she has since set
apart special hours each Sunday in
which her humble employees may
worship unabashed by the presence Of
the grander visitors.

VOLUME 23-N UMBER-
Opinion OF Col. GeOFge Vs. NeCoOk In
on the Orange Parade.

Colonel George w. AIeCOOk Of this
city, who, 10 viii be remembered. il
the DemOfratice candidate for GOvernor
of the State of Ohio, has views upon
the late New York riot that accord
perfectly with those twenty thousand
rioters, blOOd-thirsty. scoUndrels who
inagurated the scenes OfblOOd-shedO on
the 18th of IRly. Colonel McCOOk, the
day after the bloody riot express
ell his opinion, in q public place
in our city, in the following language:
Il think those Oraugcmen of New
York had no right to parade the
streets of that city: that they should
no more expect 10 parade in a peace
ful manner, than would 4 procession
marching through the streets of Steu-
benvillC, hurrahing for jeff. Davis, anu
carrying his banner, expecting to es-
cape attack" This is the view Ofciv-
il liberty taken by the Democratic
candidate for Governor of the State Of
Ohio. He could, hadEe been Govern
or of New York, have carried out the
Infamous orderO rOfSuperintendant Kel-
so and Mayor Hall, and, II need be,
arrested all American citizens who at
tempted to parade peaeeably wearing
the regalia OF the organization. This
Is the expression Of n man who asks of
the Democratic party Of Ohio to be
placed in the highest executive posi-
ton OF the State. If it IS not right for
the Orangemen of New York to pa
rade in that city, it would be equally
improper for the Order to parade in
Cincinnati. 1t is no reason the civil
liberties of thepeOple should be denied
them because there is a large portion
Of the people shat threatened riot and
blOOd-shed The right 80 parade in
the city Of New York ami Cincinnati
IS Identical Would McCOOk, il Gov
ernor of Ohio, allow the Orange ham
ner in proeessi0n2 Not unless his
views change from his present TaEg-
many instructions we would have a
Governor who would yield up our civ
il liberties and surrender them To a
mob Of his party. -SyelfbeHrHC Herald.

NIIleFiSnI.

A late case of Millerism in Della
ware came To grief i'm a peculiar man
ner, Mr.. and Mrs. Calender of that
State, were so firmly convinced that
the end OF all things had arrived that,
arrayed i'm white garments sewed up
at the eXtremeties, TO guard against
contingencies and the weather, they
recently hied themselves to the TOP of
their wOCd-shed, awaiting the blow of
Gabriel's trump. Itwas night-night
calm and lustrOus and the New Ad-
ventists patiently awaited the signal.
In the meantime something COM
menced to slip along the roof; itprov-
ed to be Mrs. Calender herself. The
lady, who had hoped 10 ascend, now
commenced rapidly 10 descend at n
rapid and perilOus pace, seriously in
cOmm0ded in her movements by the
sewed-up garments. Finally she roll
ed off the roof 10 the ground, 4 dis
tance. of five feet. Mr.. Calender,
meanwhile, bound in his dress in like
manner 10 his spouse, helplessly
watched the proceedings; but when
Mrs. Callender's shrek announced
that she had reached mother earth, he
bestirred himself to assist her. Rend-
ing his bonds with herculean effort
he stepped lightly down the ladder
whereby he had ascended, and hasten
ed to the aid of Mrs. C., whom he
found suffering from a dislOcated an
kle. The presence of a doctor and the
necessity of paying him his swinge
ing fee, wound up, in the most world
ly and practical manner possible, this
"strange, eventful history" of Mr.. and
Mrs. Calender of Delaware.

How 70 Care Stammering.

Lutte a. Taylor, editor Of the Ia
Crosse, Wisconsin, Leddcr, who was
AN invcterate stammerer, writes "A
follows about the way 30 cure the
habit:
No stammering person ever found
any difficulty in singing The reason
Of this Is that by Observing the meas
TIRE Of the music-by keeping time
the organs Of speech are kept in such
position that enunciation * easy. Ap-
ply the same rHle to reading Orspeech
and the same result will follow. Let
the stammerer take "A sentence, say
this One-'Leander swan the He'll
espOnt"-and pronounce 10 by sylia-
bles, scan it, keeping time with the
finger if necessary, letting each sylla-
bic occupy the same time. thus -''Le
ller-swam--the--Hel--les--
pOnt'-and he Will not stammer.
Let him pronounce slowly at first,
then faster, But stiH' Keeping time
with the words instead OF syl-
tables, and he will he surprised to
find That, by very little practice, he
will read without stammering, and
nearly as rapidly as persons ordinarily
talk or read. Then practice this IN
reading and conversation until the
habit is broken up. Perseverance and
attention is all that is necessary %
perform perfect cure"

\ gentleman writing from Mans
field to tire Ohio State .JO,lraaI eorrects
the statement that the Ashland Sen
atoria. district was Democratic, ~ fol-
lows:
You set down the Ashland District
as certainly Democratic This has
been true heretofore, but under the
new appOrtiOnment male necessary
by the result OF the last census, the
Ashland District is composed Of Rich
land, Ashland Medina, and L0rain
counties. With 3G0 Republican ma
iOrity in the District, il will be
extremely hard to return a Democrat
IT, Senator, as you will doubtless read-
lily agree.
Again, yOu give Knox and Wayne
Districts each a Democratic Senator.
IL 50 happens that the counties Of
Knox and Wayne together with
Morrow and Holmes, constitute q
Joint Senatorial District, and that at
this election are entitled to only one
Senator.
This dispost-s Of two Democrats in
the next Senate. II you or our friends
can figure out, or vote out, one or two
more, think the Republican ascend
ancy in the next Senate will be assured
beyond contingency.

The Chicago papers inform us that

indeed one Of the best cOnversatiOnists

FATHERS GROWING OLD.

Our fathers growing old, John!
His eyes are growing dim,
And years are on his shoulders lain,
\ heavy weight for him.
And you and / are young and hale,
And each a staIWart man,
And We must make his load As light
And easy as we can.
He used 10 take the brunt. .:John!
At cradle and at plow,
And earned our porridse by the sweat
That trickled down his brow;
Yet never heard we him complain.
Whate'er his toll might be,
Nor wanted e'er a welcome seat
Upon his solid knee.
And when Our boy-sirength came, John
And sturdy grew each limb,
He brought us TO the yellow neld
To share the toll with him;
But he went foremost In the swarth,
Tossing aside the grain,
Just like the plough that hsaves the sod,
Or ships that sheer the main.
Now We must lead the van, John!
Through weather foul and fair,
And let the old man read and dOze,
And tilt his easy chair;
And he'll not mind it, John, you know,
At eve TO tell us DER
Those brave old days of British times,
Our grandsires and the war
L heard you speak Of ma'am, Jnhnl
'Tis gospel what you say,
That caring for the like Of US
Has turned her hair so gay!
Vet, John, / do remember we'll
When neighbOrs called her vain,
And when her hair was long and like
A cleaning sheaf Of grain.
She had a buXom arm, John!
That welded well the rod,
Whene'er with wiilful step our feet
The path forbidden trOd;
ButtO the heaven OF her eye
We never looked in vain,
And evermOre our yielding cry
Brought down the tears like rain.
But that is long ago, John!
And We are what we are,
And little heed we day by day,
Her fading cheek and her hair;
And when beneath her faithful breast
The tides no longer stir,
'Tis then, John, we the most shall feel
We have no friend like her
Yes, fathers growing old, John!
His eyes are getting dim,
And Incther's treading softly down
The deep descent with him;
But yOE and are young and hale,
And each a stalwRrt man,
And we must make their path rs smooth
And level as we can!
