Something to Touch the Heart
Coleridge relates a story to
this effecl:a ,.4. ..-s.#... eI
Alexander, during his march
into Africa, came to a. people
dwelling in peaceful huts, who
knew neither war nor conquest,
Gold being offered to him, lie
refused it, saying that his sole
object vas to learn the man,
ners and customs of the inhab.
itants. TSiay with u.s." says
the Chief, $50 long as it pleaseth
thee" .a 5n 'a7 b.
During this interview with
the African Chief two of his
subjects br9, # a cause be-
fore him fora Judgment. The
dispute was this: The one
had bought of the ottaefF a
piece of ground, which, after
the purchase, was found IA
contain treasure, for which he
found himself bound to pay
The other refused to receive
anything, stating that when he
sold the ground be sold it with
all it might be found to afford.
) Said the Chief, looking at
the one, "You have a SON." and
to the other, "You have a
daughter; let them be married
and the treasure be given as a
dowry." a-.
Alexander was astonished.
Sand what" said the Chief.
"would have been the decision
in your countryp ave should
have dismissed the parties. ("
said Alexander, sand seized
the treasure for the kings use."
"And does the sun shine Oh
your country9' said the Chief;
does the rain fall thereY are
there any cattle there which
feed upon herbs and green
grass2' .I1 3.-.
"Oertainly,' SAID Alexander.
sAhl" said the CHEZ, "lt is
for the sake Of those innocent
cattle that the Great Being
permits the sun to shine, the
rain to fall, cnd The grass to
grow ia your country"

lervid wilds of Africa, through
out The jungles of India, and
the steppes of interior Asia,
over the continent of Austria.

cific, these pills are known and
everywhere known as family
remedies for diseases. With
distant nations, their wonder:
ful cures attract more attention
than they do at home; for the
sentiment of wonder takes a
lar deeper hold on their minds
than ths' results of. scientific
skill with US. The amount con

thousand doses day to sup
ply it, An inspection of the
mandatory showed us how
enormous this demand is made

like a drove of swine. Tht
belief that they could do thii
was the ground of their scheme
10 divide the Republicans by
making Horace Greeley The
Democratic candidate. While
they counted the Democratic
party as a mass of dumb brutes
they recognized a superior
class in the Republicans by

ty. They all admit now that
they got al! the Republican
votes they expected, but that
they failed because Democrats
would not vote for Greely. 1t
is the most valuable lesson oil
tire election, because a mass
of voters, comprising nearly
one half of the popular vote
OF the country, that could be
transferred by set of party
managers at will, would, be q
centralizing of power in the
hands OF few that would be
most destructive to Liberty.
1t is an illustration of the
blind folly or dishonesty of
men that they, while they are
,Fying to carry out a scheme
to get possession Of the gov
ernment, which depends wholly
on the ability OF a few mana
gers to transfer the vote Of
their party in a mass, will
prate about the danger Of cen
iraiization. No such danger
Gus Capitalization has ever
been fancied as this would be.
II would be an absolute oil
garcby, with subjects as alb
ject and unreasoning as those
Of the King OF Ashantee. Yet
the scheme which was worked
up prior TO the Cincinnati con-
venlion, and was carried in
that, and then in the Baltimore
convention, was based wholly
on the assumption of Demo.
cratic managers that they
could sell and transfer the EN-
tire Democratic party in this
manner. And Greeley's nego-
tlation with them, and his de-
sire to receive the Democratic
nomination, were al founded
upon his confidence that the
Democratic managers could
make the Democratic masses
vote az they directed, even
though it were for candidate
who had been a bitter enemy
and a most elaborate and vol
luminous reviler OF them.
Their base reckoning has
failed. The failure is ignomin
ious. In such a course defeat is
not merely the loss of all but
honor. 1t is the loss OF honor
and all. They have disinteg-
rated their party and left it

acter or organization, and have
filed it with crop OF recrim-
nations and revenges. How

We find in a late number of the Wash
jngton National Republican the follow
ing:
Yesterday, Capt. j. V. Meigs, of Lowell,
Mass, fired his fifty-shot so calibre maya
zine gun, which he has been patiently per-
fecting since 1865, before Commodore Case,
chief Of ordnance, United States navy; Col.
Benet, chief of ordnance, United States
army; Commodore Reynolds and Capt.
Pearson, United States navy; and Capt.
Metcslf, United States army. The gun
was fired at short range, from the shoulder,
without material change of direction, and
the magazine was emptied in about twenty
seconds, every shot striking within space
no larger than a man. 1t was shown that
il could be fred on the run as rapidly as
from the shoulder, aud with equal pre-
cision.
These officers expressed themselves as
highly gratifed, saying in substance that it
was the most formidable weapon they had
ever seen, and that, armed with it, small
body of men could hardly be dislodged by
many times their number. 1t was then
taken apart by the removal of two screws,
and the pieces laid in the palm of the ex-
hibitGr'S hand, so that each could be separ-
ately seen.
1t had been exhibited in the Senate Mill
tary Committeeman to Senators Wilson,
Morton, Ames, and Generals Logan and
Blair of the Senate committee, and Generals
Coburn and Slocum of the House commit
tee. These gentlemen greatly admired the
simplicity and efficiency of the weapon, and
have since praised it enthusiastically.

Nashville Nursery, who is visiting our
county, that he has been travelling on the
streams of Indian creek, Hardins creek,
Green river, and the tributaries of each, and
that the wheat, oats and rye crops are as
fine as he ever saw in this country. He
also SAYS, he thinks that one-fourth, if not
one-third of the wheat crops viii be har-
vested this week. Mr.. Lillard says he is
meeting with very good success in selling
fruit trees, and We hope be may meet with
better success. Every farmer should have
an orchard, and now is the time to get it.
