liquid depths see legions of little Gu
pids bathing, like q coboft of ants In an
old army cracker. When their FIRE hit
me upon my manly breast it penetrated
my whole anatomy, as load OF bird shot
through rotten apple. Your nose is
from chunk of PariAn marble, and
your mouth is puckered with sweetness.
Nectar fingers on your lips, like honey
on bears paw; and myriads of un-
dedged kisses are there, ready to fy out
and light somewhere, like blue birds out
of their parents nest. Your laugh rings
in my ears like the wind-harp's strain,
or the bleat of stray lamb on bleak
hill side. The dimples on your cheeks
are like bowers IN beds of roses, or hol-
lows in cakes of homemade sugar.
II am dying to hy to thy presence,
and pour out the burning eloquence of
my love, as thrifty house wives pour out
hot coffee. Away from you am as mel
ancholy as q sick rat. Sometimes l can
hear the June bugs of dependency buzz
zing in my ears, and feel the cold lizards
of despair crawling down my back. I'm.
couth fears like q thousand minnoWs,
nibbling at my spirits; and my soul is
pierced with doubt like an old cheese
bored with shippers.
my love for you is stronger than the
smell of Coffey's patent butter, or the
kick of a young COW, aud more unselish
than a kittens first caterwaul. As q
song bird bankers for the light of the
day, the cautious mouse for the fresh
bacon in the trap, as a mean pup hank
ers for new milk, so l long for thee.
"You are fairer than speckled pullet,

together.

The political campaign in Pennsylva-
MIA may not inappropriately be termed a
still hunt. Few if any gatherings are
being held, and the managers. as if by
mutual consent, leave the newspapers to
fight the battle. In this day of tele-
graphs and lightning presses, the stump
and rostrum steadily lose their impor-
tance as elements in political contest.
When people can have a speech served
up to them at breakfast it is difficult to
secure their attendance at its delivery
The speaker must be unusually gifted,
and the occasion one of more than ordi-
nary interest, to fill house. While the
growth of the press has thus done away,
to great extent, with the necessity for
campaigning, there is this advantage at
tending the combat of the hustings: it
affords voters an opportunity of becom-
ing acquainted with candidates for Office,
and comparing their respective merits

The school question is becoming a
source of no little trouble in the South.
Several of the reconstructed State Leg
islatures provided that the public schools
should be thrown open to all classes,
irres pective of color. The whites of
Louisiana and some other States refuse
to send their children to these "hybrid
institutions" But they have to aid in
supporting them just the same, which is
constant source of irritation. In
Morehouse Parish, Louisiana, for ex-
ample, there are twelve schools, each
having twelve or fifteen black pupils.
Each school has teacher receiving sixty
dollars per month pay, so that the one
hundred and eighty colored scholars cost
the taxpayers of the parish, SS,64O, at
least, annually. The same condition of
affairs is witnessed in many other Sec
tions. White children stay away from
the school and the black go.

AGUE AND FEW E r
CHI ILLS AN ID T EV Il X,

The proprietor of this celebrated medi-
cine Justly claims for it superiority over
ali remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
whether Of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail to cure, il the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a
great many cases q single dose has been
sufhcient for q cure, and whole families
have been cured by a single bottle, with q
perfect restoration of the general health,
Il is, however, prudent, and in every case
more certain TO cure, if its use is continued
in smaller doses for a week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order should the
patient, however, require a cathartic medi-
cine. after having taken three or four doses
OF the Tonic, single dose of BULL VEG
ETBALE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient.

any act of the Democrats in the North

Somellof the republican newspapers of New
York city are quarreling over the fact that there
are men in the city protesting to be republicans,
who have, heretofore, been bribed to work for
the Tammany thieves. 1t is quite possible that
this Tammany bribery has had something to do
with the inexcusablc division of the party in
that city. But to quarrel over the matter now,
in order to keep the party divided, is nearly as
bad as the raScaty of accepting bribes
"Tammany republican" is nothing more nor
less than democratic" buccancer of the
neanest sort. Those who apply the designation
TO honest republicans, to serve some purpose OF
faction, are enemies to the party; and, no mat
ter what they may say, must have at heart
some interest of Tweed & Co. Those VINO de-
fend Tammany republicans and work to have
them recognized as honest members OF the
party, may be set down at once as supporters
of the thieves and chief of their secret service.
The proper business of New York city republicans
Just now, is to stop quarrelng, lay aside old
antagonisms, and unite cordially. Those who
will not do this should be treated as creators of
an intolerable nuisance in the party. They
should be driven out, or constrained to hide
somewhere out of sight, and keep silence Or
swear at themselves, as they may prefer.

Along with the Corean dispatches there has
arrived a bound volume of photographs which
are very large, say perhaps ten by sixteen inches,
giving complete pictorial description of the
expedition. The views are fOrty-seven in num-
Der. They are made in the best style of the
Photographic art and surprise by their excel
lence the photographers who have seen them.
The views are such as the anchorage of the
fleets, the first Corean sailor on board the Col
orado, the first Corean junk bearing dispatches,
Corean officials, interviews on the fleet, the cap
turcd forts, exterior and interior; the Corean
camp and magazine, Corean prisoners, and the
like The views of the interior of Fort Nc Kee
after the capture are especially vivid, showing
the dead Coreans where they fell, the camera in
some instances pcturing the very smoke of the
ruin, which had not dissipated when the enter
prisng photographer followed the flying enemy.
One remarkable picture is of two wounded CO.
rean prisoners waiting for the visit of surgeons.
Another of the pictures is the first Corean sailor
on board the Colorado, after his interview sur
Yeying the traces of civilization. His arms are
full Of empty champaign bottles, which he has
gathered to the number of dozen or MORE and
in one hand he holds Il copy of Every Saturday,
which is taken with such clearncss that the
mll-page portrait is recognized rs that Of Sena-
tor Summer, which that paper printed some
months ago. The senator's introduction to the
barbarous CoreanS in this manner is remarked
as Il singular incident.

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.-The st. Louis
Democrat says:
"On Friday last, the 11th of August Henry
j. Farquar called at the postoffice and asked If
he could leave Il box there containing seeds and
what would be the postage. He was informed
that he could, and the postage would be twenty
four cents He then brought a box ahout siv
inches long and four inches in widrh on Ton.
and the bottom about four inches long by three
in width, with height of about six inches. ON
which was the address; IS. b. Daniel, in care of
A. p. Daniel or William Badgey,' and beneath
this the following caution: 10 be handled with
great care, in order that the contents consisting
OF seeds and curiosites, will not be disarranged'
The box was called for by Mr.. Daniel, Saturday
who seemed surprised at receiving sach box
The postmaster, seeing his surprise, in fun eau
toned him TO be careful in opening it, as il
might DC an internal machine, or contain tor
pedo. lhe box was very strongly made, the
| parts being all firmly fastened excepting part
oil the Top, which was the opening place The
crack between the top and ends and sides was
| covered by piece of paper pasted on il all
round. saturday evening Mr.. Daniel thought
he would examine this choice lot of seeds
Acting on the suggestion of the postmaster
he cautiously inserted tabe-knife beneath the
lid TO cut the paper pasted around it; he then
pried of the lid with Il spade, when, 10, single
barreled pistol, loaded to the very muzzle, CON
fronted him. The pistol was cooked. a water
proof cap on the nipple, and cord fastened to
the trigger ready to send the messenger of death
on its mission. Somehow, in opening the box,
the cord was cut without firing the pistol. A
small rod ran from one end TO the other, on
which the pistol was fastened; the handle or
stock resting ON the bottom of the box, and the
muzlIe pointing toward that part of the lid
which it was destined should be raised. The

The Providence Journal is discussing a Hart
lord and Erie question. 1t suggests for the con-
sldefanon OF all concerned, that the railroad
running from Providence to Hartford really be-
longs to the original stockholders those who
owned 1t before il was sold to the Hartford and
Erie company. The ground of the claim is
that "the vital conditions of the sale have NOT
been fulfilled" and that, for this reason "tbe
contract is void or yoidabe" Undonh,adl,
those interested in that road like many Others
have suffered by the atrOeious mismanagemenr
of the Hartford and Erie company They fen
into the hands of buccaneers. But the road
was actually sold TO this company, subject ia
the existing mortgage; its stock was exchanged
for stock of the Hartford and Erie company:
and all the states concerned authorized the
mortgage to secure the Berdell bonds We can
not doubt that the claim urged is good, in equity,
against the buccaneering mismanagers; but to
urge itagainst the Berdel bondholders is another
matter. The original owners of the road might
have done something TO check that mismanage-
ment, if they had raised the Question against
the buccaneers, while they were in the midst of
their bad career. As the case stands now both
law and equity, we think, will give the Berdel
bOudholders full right to that road, after the
claims under the old 6rstmortgaee have been
satisfied

TERRIFIC SrAMPEDE.-The campaign is
now pretty well advanced, and the old stagers
ana veteran politicians already see clearly how
the political cat is going to jump. The stam-
pede from the democratic ranks has assumed
such proportions that the knowing ones of the
party, when they can be induced TO talk CON
ndehtally, ADMIT with moumIul irankness that
the democratic goose is cooked. The money
test is, we admit, 4 vulgar one, nevertheless
furnishing the suIest test of the condition OF
the political barometer. Stamch partisans
often think ii an imperative duty to
keep up Dragging Justify long after all hone
is fled. But they don't think il a duty TO
throw away their money in betting on a lost
cause, and for week past it has been impossi
BILE to aggrayate, or banter, or wheedle any
democratic sharp into bet on Haght. He is
beaten beyond all peradyenture, and the only
question now is question of majorities. That
the state is lost to the democracy no sane man
now doubts. Some very sane aud sharp men
pretend 10 doubt III but they are not honest.
