WANTING THE ELEMENTS OF A PARTY.

The elements opposing the reelection of
the President are unfortunate in not hav-
ing some strong common grounds upon
which they can unite and around which
the people will rally with confidence and
enthusiasm If we look for the elements
that are necessary to make formidable
party, we fail te find them in the hetero-
geneous mass that clamor for new party
organization. Free Traders like Gov.
Cox and Judge Brinkerhoof are trying to
ioin hands with Horace Greeley and Col
Mcclure, men claiming to non-partisan,
like Schurz and Trumbull, are coquetting
with men like Sumnerand Logan, who all
their lives have been the strictest parti-
sans-Sumner cracking the party lash
over the heads of Senators in the I'M
parchment trial as though their party ties
and not their consciences were to control
solemn opinions. Then, we have old party
hacks and bar-rOOm politicians, like Frank
Blair and Gratz Brown trying to embrace
such men as Associate Justice Davis and
and ex-Attorney General Hoar. Looking
at these homogeneous elements we are nat
urally led TO inquire, what is to cement
them together and make them compact,
strong organization. The main cry upon
which these men hope to rally the people
is that against corruption ~ But will
honest men feel more like trusting party
which if formed at all must be built main
Iy out of the timber of that old
reasonable, corrupt party that has betrayed
its trusts and abused its powers until
its own leaders confess the people will
never again trust it? The party that
plundered New York city of hundred
millions and donated, without stint, the
peoples money to a political ecclesiasti-
cism; the party that involved the country
in war and resisted every measure intend
ed to protect the people against repe-
tition of it, cries out against the adj
ministration of President Grant, and
hopes, under the cry of reform and
a new party name, to induce people
to support it. Is this false cry, platform
enough upon which to rally all the va
rious opposing factions? VIII it afford
the nucleus for great party about which
the people will rally? We think not. We
believe all who are interested in faithful
administration of the laws; all who want
the national credit unimpaired; all who
want the revenues honestly collected and
faithfully applied all who distrust Dem
ocracy and do not wish to take the risk of
handing the Government again into its
hands, will not support the nominees of
the PHILADELPHIA Convention. and save
the people from q national calamity.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
Aggravated Indigestion.

Persons who pTedisposed to dyspepsia find their
suferngs from this greatly aggravated by damp
weather, easterly winds and sudden changes from a
mild to chilling atmosphere. In the spring, there
FORE the pangs of indigestion seriously augmented
by the atmospheric variations peculiar to the season.
and sineumbent upon all who desire to pass through
the ordeal of its cold miss and insalubrious gales with
easy stomachs and untormented by the ndescribable
torments which accompany dyspepsia, to tone and
strengthen the digestive with healthfuI and
effective vegetable invigorant; and at all fami
lar with the medical record of the age question for
one moment that Hostetters Stomach Bitters Is the
Tonic best adapted TO this purpose.
The credentials of the Great RESTORATIVE are IN
equaed number and character by those of other
advertised medicine in the world, If ever there was
preparation to rank as National Remedy, this won
deru specific has fair claim to the title. For peri
cd of twenty years it has literally been the Champion
Tonic on this side Of the Atlantic In popularity it has
never been approached by any of its woudbe compel
tOr and its annual sales so far in advance OF those
of any other medicine of its class that comparisons
would be ridiculous. One of two conclusions is newt
able. Either the American people are deficient in
common sense and incapable of rational diserimina-
tiOn or Hosteters Biters is the best preventive
dy for Indigestion fever and ague, bilious remiten
fever, constipation, rheumatism nervous complaints
and all maladies of epidemic endemic type. The
reader will judge for himself which of the two conclu
siOns is most consisted with fact and reason. *

FOR GOVERNOR.

The papers are talking about who shall
be our next Governor. Thus far we have
heard four names John c. Brown, the
present incumbent, Gen. Wm. a. Quarles
Gen. w. 3. Bate, and Andrew Johnson
The first three will probably be candidates
for the nomination before the Democratic
State convention. Andy Johnson's re-
cord from 1861 to 1865 is such as to pre-
clude the possibility of his receiving a
nomination from Democratic cOnven-
t ion in Tennessee. The Shelbyville BuUc-
tin has reason to know that he is being
urged to run for Governor, not as the can
didate of a convention or clique, but as
the Peoples Candidate" Should Andy
take the stump under such circumstances,
he would certainly make it warm for the
Generals" If he did not come out alto
gether victorious, he would certainly give
them an opportunity to show their skill
in conducting a retreat.

THE strongest evidence we have seen,
of returning sense of propriety on the
part of our Kentucky neighbors, is the de-
mise of the Louisville Ledger, the bOur-
bon organ of that State. 1t departed this
life on Saturday after short and protfiless
career. It's funeral took place without a
mourner. Its name will soon pass into
oblivion. It is creditable to Kentucky, to
know that such a journal cannot be sus-
tanned even there.

THE people of Blount county will, on
next Saturday, vote on a proposition to
levy county tax for public schools. We
earnestly hope they will view the matter
right and vote for the schools. Let not
Blount stand alone as refusing, by popu-
lar vote, to take part in this great pro-
gressive movement. Every county that
has given public schools any en-
enlargement has profitted by it. If the
honest tax payers of Blount who want
more population and capital could read
the letters from immigrants we receive
every day, they would not hesitate mo-
ment. If they want to induce people to
settle in their midst, they must open
schools. There are hundred good rea-
sons why Blount county should vote for
schools and not one why they should not

If husbands are to be mistaken in "Dolly
Warden" dresses, as was an unfortunate hus-
band in Philadelphia, the sooner the fire is
quenced the better will it be for the peace of
society. The husband in question one night
missed from the supper table his wife Matilda,
and inquired of his little boy whittier had she
gone, and just at that moment the dinning room
door opened and lady entered. The husband
observed a wild look in her eye, and also noticed
that she was attred in an outlandish style,
having on, as he says, a dress with sunaowers,
and cabbages, and pumpkins worked all over
it, and lot of snakes squrming around for
ack-ground.
Rising, the man said "Madame, whom do
you wish to see !" and then said aside, "Poor
thing she's crazy" That last remark settled
the business for him, as the wierd female made
bod reach and tightly grasped his Adams
Z a-s4aA- alced- him until his face assumed
coio- of banner of the Commune. After
she had enjoyed a surfeit of choking her hus-
band she Topped into chair and with tears
coursing each other down her cheek, she ex-
claimed:
"That should ever live to hear my husband
say that was crazy" This amused the hus-
band and elevating himself to his full proper
tions he said
"You can't blame me, madam, for supposing
you an insane woman and now that l know
/ that you are really the mother of these inter
esting children, will you have the kindness to
retire to the sancity of your chamber and peel
yourself of that piece of furniture chintg or
window curtain, or whatever it is you call it."
"Window curtain, chintz p said the spouse !;
"why it's you that's out of your head. That's
Dolly Warden, and very pretty pattern too"
"Madame," replied the husband, we may be
out of our head, but if that is Dolly Warden
we are most decidedly out of pocket Why it
looks like circus dress, and the idea of wo-
man at your time of life."
"My time of life p
eyes your time of life. The next thing
suppose, you will be practicing the trapeze act
in the back yard. Why it is enough to give a
man the delerium tremens to look at it. Who
ever saw such pattern? It's flush wall paper
run mad. You look exactly like some Japanese
tea sign. And now just bounce out here with
that Feejee battle flag, or you'll scare the baby
: 70 death"
There was an OMNIBUS pause for moment,
and then the eldest daughter said:
"Why, you ought to be ashamed of yourself,
father. It's all the STYLE and am going to
have one, too there now eyes, and / want
one all the girls have got them." Thus spoke
Maria, the second eldest "Any more ?" gasp
ed the husband care there any more !"-
Hadn't the baby better have one? guess I'll
get one myself. How do they make up for
pantaloonsi Ha Ha Ha demoniacally).
Let me have Dolly Warden. Let me clutch
it. Bring me pattern of monkeys scaling
lamp posts. How would chinese puzzle look,
or a map of Fairmount Park ?"-All the rests
blank. The unhappy husband had just been
liberated from an asylum and pronounced
cured. But the only way they managed it was
to dress him up in Dolly Warden, marked
out with the ground plan of the streets of
1cstsn.

Be Nor WEARY IN WELL-DoING.-An old
story contains lesson which many married
couples have not yet learned. When Jonathan
Trumble was Governor of Connecticut gen.
tleman called at lis house one day requesting
a private interview. He said Il have called
upon very unpleasant errand, sir, and want
your advice. NJ W, ,fe and do not live happily
together, and am thinking of getting a di-
vorce. What do you advise, sir ?"
The Governor sat few moments in thought !;
then turning to his visitor said, "How did you
treat Mrs. L--when you was courting Eer !?
and how did you feel towards her at the time
Of your marriage ?"
Squire L--replied, 81 treated her as kindly
as l could, for loved her dearly at that time"
"Well, sir" said the Governor, "go home and
court her now just as you did then, and love
her as when you married her. Do this in the
fear of God, for one year, and then tell me the
result"
When year passed away Squire L-call-
ed again to see the Governor, and said, 81 have
called again to thank you for the good advice
you gave me, and to tell you that my wife and
are as when first married. cannot be grate-
full enough for your good counsel"
81 am glad to hear it, Mr.. L." said the
Governor, "and l hope you will continue to
court your wife as long as you live"

President GRANTS STATE DINNERs.-In this
wise is it done by General Grant at his dinners
of state at the White House The number in
vited is usually about thirty. The names of
those to be invited are given to the invitation
clerk, and he fills up the engraved cards
whereon spaces for names and dates have been
left blank. The full number Of guests having
accepted, the clerk proceeds to page them off
and prepare the cards, which, inclosed in
small envelope, are given to each gentleman
in the cloak-room. These cards have on Que
side the name of the lady the gentleman is to
escort to the table, and on the other diagram
of the table with the name of the gentleman
and the lady placed under his care opposite
the number indicating their respective seats.
Confusion is thus avoided. The state dining
room is in the west wing of the White House
and the table is set with due regard to the points
of the compass. The President sits in the central
scat with bis back to the north, and Mis-. Grant
sits exactly opposite. The places of honor for
ladies are on the right and left ofthe President,
and on the right and left of Mrs. Grant for
gentlemen. Some eighteen or twenty coursee
have been known to be served at these dinners,
and at every plate are eight glasses Of different
kinds of wine.

LUXURY OF EASY DREssING.--The following
is clipped from the Law of life :"
Very few ladies know how to appreciate an
easy, healthful dress. They think their dresses
are loose, when man or boy put into one as
tight, would gasp for breath, and feel incapa
bic of putting forth any efforts to break the
fits of dress makers that they "fall to pieces"
when relieved of them. They associate the
loose dress with the bed or lounge. To be up
they must be stayed up, and to recommend a
comfortable dress to them is not to meet con-
scious want of theirs.
1t is great pity, none the less. Ii they
could once know what luxury it is to breathe
deep and full at each respiration, to feel the re-
freshment which the system takes in by hav-
ing the blood enlivened and sent bounding
through the arteries and veins, to have their
aids to digestion which such dress gives, to
have their strong, elastic muscles keep every
organ in place, and the muscles erect; if they
could for while know this blessed luxury,
and then be sent beck into old, stiff, straight
jackets. they would fume and fret and rave in
very desperation if they could not get rid of
them.
As it is, they prefer to languisb and suffer
dreadfully, and die young, and leave all their
children, and do not see any other way but
to let them be sick and die till they are satisfied.
If only the sinner was the sufferer, it would not
be worth while to make a great ado about it,,
but the blighting of future innocent lives,
which may follow, renders the false habits of
our women in the highest degree criminal.
