THE Home Journal, of Anderson, Grimes
( county, Texas, prints a likeness of Greeley
and Brown, the one bald-headed and white
whiskered, followed by the hirsute Gratz
Brown. An old man was looking at 1t in the
Office the other day, and said, '' Ii really
| thought it would produce such a change 1
would order half dozen bottles. He had taken
| them for the same individual before and af-
ter using a hair restorative"
n 1lOul DuDIllI, 1uuIdiId, says Oul
of the seventy-ive Greeley men claimed here
month ago, only ten remain, and before the

returned home Thusrday morning from a four
weeks journey through Ohio, Illinois, Penn
sylvania, Indiana and New York. and on all
trains he took votes for Presidential candi-
dates. The total result foots up more than
twice as many for Grant as for Greeley He
says his meals cost him nothing, for he would
start bet with a;Greeley man, count the train,
and eat at his opponents expense.
| GEN. DIX has written a letter to W. A.
Wheeler, chairman Of the New York Repub-
lican Convention, accepting the nomination
! for Governor, in which he says: eff the con-
vention deemed it Of so much Importance in
the existing condition of things in the state,
to induce it to make the nomination in oppo-
sition to my expressed wish, 1 suppose the
members must have been actuated by public
considerations too strong to be opposed on my
part. [ therefore waive all objections, and ac-
cept it. Should it be ratified by the people no
effort on my part will be spared to aid them
/ in the redress Of the abuses which dishonor
| the state and which will int1ict irretrievable
injury on its character unless arrested by
| timely and efficient remedies"
| A cANvAssER for the Life of Horace Gree
| ley" importuned st. Louis man to purchase
! a copy, which he declined to do, when the fol-
lowing dialogue ensued g Are you not Dem
ocrat p Eyes, 1 am" evil you not vote
! for Greeley p" eyes, think I wiI.'' ''Then
why not buy this book?" because, if
should read his life [ am afraid would change
my mind and refuse to vote for the old cuss
AND still they come The Hon. Samuel B.
Axtel, formerly Democratic member of Con-

carried the convention as against any of the
Liberals
PHILETUs SAWYER was re-nominated for
Congress on the first ballot by the Republicans
of the Sixth District, who met in Convention

ment az immerse mass meeting was held, at
which Senator Carpenter and Howe spoke. In
the evening two thousand tanners moved
through the streets in procession with their
torches making brilliant display. Visiting

The Toledo Blade thus replies to an anxious
correspondent Abram-H your father will
persist in betting on Greeley, there is but one
way to save his estate. Get out writ of lun-
acy. Any court will grant it on a statement of
the case.
LINCOLN was once talking to Montgomery
Blair during the war, when he burst out g I
say, Blair, what can we do with that fault-fiind-

he does more damage than twenty good gene
rails can undo !"
