THE TRUTH.-It is seldom that the
New York World hits the truth so &C
eurately and comes so eQuarely right to
the point as when it said that the Gin
clnpati Convention " wall be of no i'm
portance except so far as it makes schism
and split in the Republican party" Fail
ling to do this, it is total failure, like
the Fremont and Cochrane movement, in
1864. What the Democrats desire, is such
Il schism +; and they are now looking to
the so-called Liberal Republicans to per
form this service in their behalf Given
this fact, they then hope to enter the field,
other with distinct!vely party ticket or
q fusion ticket, and carry off the prize.
The fusion ticket, should there be one,
must answer Democratic purposes, es
pecially since the Democracy will form
immensely the larger part of it's support
Practically, it might just as well be a
straight OUtand-Out Democratic ticket.
How many Republicans would vote for a
fusion ticket we cannot tell +; yet we have
no idea that the number would be suffici-
emily large, even with the help Of the
Democracy, to defeat the nominees of the
Philadelphia Convention. Coalitions rest
ing upon naturally hostile elements have
several times been tried in the election
history Of this country, and have generally
failed. All the probabilities of the case
poiat to like result should the Liberia |
Republicans and the DernnoratS conclude
TO make the experiment again.
Thus says the New York Times, aud we
think it is the truth

We published the other week

be taken Of Hindu or Mohammedan

as much dreaded as possible. But
here is q suggestion by the Delhi
Gazette which surpasses in barbara
ty anything that we have ever read.
The writer would have a native who
murders a European punished in the
following way:
81. He shall be branded in the
forehead with a large M, to denote
his crime.
90. Both his arms shall be ampu-
tated above the elbow.
80 He shall be transported to
England for twenty-one years-sent
round the Cape, confined in an iron
cage whipped once month, on the
same day of the month and at the
hour Of the day on which he commit
ted the murder; exhibited with the
wild beasts in the Tower Of London
during the whole period of his trans
portation; then, if he survive, put to
death by decapitation, his body given
for dissection, and burnt, if the telon
be Mussulman, or buried, tia HIM

FALSE HUMILITY.-Dr. Watson tells
very good story of Sister Scrub, who
was given to hospitality, and the very
bad habit of running down every thing
she had in the way of meat and drink,
as if she would by this plan induce her
guests to praise them the more Elder
Blunt had endured this kind of afflic-
ton several times, and undertook to
put an end to it. Putting up at
Brother Scrubs one day, his horse was
cared for, and he was shown into the
best parlor, where everything was nice
as a new pin. Mrs. Scrub was sorry her
house was upside down, and it wasn't
fit for minister to sit down in, but she
was glad to see him, and would try to
make him comfortable. The dinner
came on, and Mrs. Scrub declared the
dinner was so mean and miserable she
was ashamed of it; and when she was in
full blast with her deprecations, Elder
Blunt jumped up, said he couldn't and
wouldn't stay in house where every.
thing was in such state; he would go
where he could find something fit to eat
and decent place to eat in. In spite
of all they could do, the Elder insisted
on having his horse and quitting the
house. Sister Scrub wept sore over her
fault, and being heartily ashamed and
cured, the Elder in due time returned,
and ever afterward found a good home
