TIE POLITICAL HORIZON.

The Washington correspondent OF the Bos
ton Journal says:
Senator Chandler has returned from New
York, where he attended meeting ofthe Ma
tional Republican Committee, and he brings
cheering tidings of the prospects of the Re-
publican party in Indiana, where coalition
has been formed by which the Democrats are
to vote for Greeley, and the Greeleyites are
to aid in electing Hendricks Senator in place
of Governor Morton. The goods cannot be
delivered. Many leading Democrats say
that if the contest is between Grant and Gree
ley, they will vote for Grant, and no leading
Republicans, except disappointed politicians,
are in the Dolly Warden movement. In
Pennsylvania Forney is endeavoring to secure
his own election to the Senate, in place of
Cameron, and the two factions respectively
led by these veteran politicians are at swords
points, but they will unite at the polls in No.
vember for Grant. In the Southern States the
nomination CT Wilson has greatly strength
ened the Republican ticket among the colored
people, who look with distrust on Greeley,
now that some of their old oppressors sustain
him. Some editors and newspaper cores
pondents anxious to obtain notoriety, are
endeavoring to organize Press Convention
as a side show at Baltimore. 1t will be
| interesting to read list of the names of those
who propose to figure on this occasion, with
the newspapers which they represent.

Stale Joke.

Hierocles, who lived in the sixth
century, collected twenty-one jests un-
the general title of the Peddnts, and
in this fossil textbook we find jokes
that have been handed down through
succeeding collections and have be-
come old familiar friends. Among
these ancient jests is the account of
the man, who, for fear of drowning,
determined not to enter the water un-
til he was master of the art Of swim
ming; of the man who complained
that his horse died just as he had
taught it to live without food of the
philosopher who carried stone about
him as specimen of his house Of one
who stood before glass with his eyes
shut to see how he looked when he
was asleep; of the man who bought q
COW to see whether it would live two
hundred years; and Of one who went
into boat on horseback, because he
was in hurry. Here We find the
evernew story of a man who meeting
q friend, asked whether it was he or
his brother, who was buried and the
blundering excuse Of the person who,
not having attended to the request of
o friend, said when he met him, "I'm
sorry l never received the letter which
you wrote to me about the books"
Rev. Mr.. Hartly, of Philadelphia,
must, we should imagine, have come
fresh from the perusal of Hierocles
when he forwarded to M. Theirs last
year one of the original bricks of In
dependence Hall in that city, with
the earnest prayer that the legislators
of beautiful France may derive from
it such an ispiration as shall lead them
to erect a republic, whose dignity,
justice and purity shall be the admira-
tion of our age, and which shall prove
a model for other nations in securing
the rights and liberties of their peo-
ple."

Thirty years, from his right hip TO his foot,

and a third effected permanent cure. Mr.
Bell is a popular and well-known citizen,
is living monument of the effacaey OF
that great medical discovery, Gilliland's $
Pain Killer. The afflicted should ask their

Down Brakes !

ED" is brakeman employed on
the Chicago, Alton and st. Louis rail-
road. He was married only a few
weeks ago. His wife has been wear
ing a piece of red flannel round her
neck for the past ten days, and COM
planning Of wry neck. This is how
it came to pass:
ED" had just been doing extra du-
ty, taking a sick friends train in ad-
dition to his own, and SO had not been
in bed for forty eight hours. AS a
matter of course he was nearly worn
out, and as soon as his supper had
been eaten he went to bed, to sleep,
perchance to dream. He was soon
locked in the arms of Morpheus and
Mary, and dreaming. Again his foot
was on his native platform, and he
heard the warning toot of the whistle
for breaks. The shadow train bore
him swiftly on; the telegraph posts
feeted past quicker and quicker; the
whole country fed by like panorama
mounted on eet-lightning rollers. In
his dream he heard far off another
roar, and swinging out by the railings
he saw another train coming at light
ming speed around the curve. Both
trains were crowded, and in an
other moment they would rush togeth-
er, and from the piles of ruin cry OF
agony would shiver to the tingling
stars from the lips of the MANNED and
dying. The engineer had seen their
danger, for at that moment, in his
dream, he heard the whistle-calling
for brakes sound loud and unearthly
With the strength of desperation he
gripped the brake and turned it down
There was yell of pain, and "Ed'
woke to find himself sitting UP in bed
and holding hi%vife by the ears, hav,
ing almost twisted off her head. That's
how eds" wife came to wear a piece
of red flannel round her throat and

How Joe Lost His Bet.

An old fellow named Joe Poole,
very eccentric and an incorrigible slut
terer, was a constant lounger at a
tavern in Waterford, Me.
One day traveller from a distant
part of the State, arrived at the tav-
ern and was met by an old acquaint-
ance, a resident of the town. After
some conversation on different topics,
the traveller was addressed as follows
"By the way, Brown, look out for
old Joe Poole tonight You will
know him quick enough by his stutter-
ing. He VIII be sure to come around,
and offer to bet that you've not got a
whole shirt to your back. If you take
him up, you'll surely loose by a trick
he's got. He invariably lays his wager
and always wins"
every WE'LL" said the traveller, 81
will not let him get ahead of me.
Much obliged for the caution"
The evening came, and a large
crowd was collected in the bar room
Our friends were there, and old Joe
Poole was presented and in his ele-
ment.
81 tell you wh-what. You are nice.
ly dressed, but I'll bet you ten dollar;
you haven't got a wh-whole shirt tc
your back"
"I'll take the bet," said the stran
ger. "Put the money in the landlords
hands,"
This being done, the traveller pulled
off coat, and was about following suit
with his vest, when Joe cried out
"Ho- ho-hold on. You've lost Ha
half your shirt is fr-front, and the 9th
ha-half is on your ba- back p
There was a roar of laughter, bu
the newcomer did not mind it, bu
pulled off his vest too, and quietly
turning his back to Joe displayed t
his astonished gazes a shirt neatly
folded and placed underneath his sus
penders.
Of course, the laugh was turned up
on Poole, who acknowledged that h,
had lost the wager. He never Offered
to bet again.

Crusoe's Island CoIonized by Ger
mans.

At distance of less than three
days voyage from VALPARAISO, Chill,
and nearly in the same latitude of this
important port, on the coast of South
America, is the island of Juan Fer
nandsz, where once upon a time Alex.
ander Selkirk, during a solitary ban
ishment Of four years, gathered the
material for DeFoe's Robinson Cru
soe." This nd, little thought of by
the inhabit of the Chilean coast
land, has la become of some inter-
est by the fact that in December, 1869
it was ceded to society of Germany,
under the guidance of Robert Wehr-
ham, an engineer of Saxony, for the
purpose of colonization. The entire
preneur of the expedition, Robert
Wehrham, left Germany eleven years
ago, passed several years in England,
served as majo through the Ameri-
can war, and was subsequently engaged
as engineer with The Ceropasco rail
road in South America. He and bis
society, about sixty or seventy indi-
viduals, have taken possession of the
island, which is described as being a
most fertile ard lovely spot. They
found there countless herds of goats,
some thirty half-wild horses and sixty
donkeys, the latter animals proving to
be exceedingly shy. They brought
withsthem COWS and other cattle, swine,
numerous fowls, and all the various
kinds of agricultural implements, with
boats and fishing apparatus, to engage
in different pursuits and occupations.
The grotto, made famous as Robinson's
abode, situated in spacious valley
covered with large fields of wild tur.
nips-a desirable food for swine-has
been assigned to the hopeful young
Chilian gentleman to whom the charge
of the porcine part of the societY's
stock has been entrusted, and he and
his proteges are doing very well in
their new quarters. Juan Fernandez
is one of the stations where whaling
vessels take water and food.

The Paducah Neaps tells this story
for the truth of which it vouches: "A
professional gentleman we'll known in
this city had not seen his son for a
long period of time, owing to the fact
that the latter retired to bed ere the
former returned home, and in the
morning the father left before the son
got out of bed. One morning the lady
of the house managed to get the father
and son together at the breakfas table,
and by way of joke remarked: Son,
let me introduce you to your father
How DO you do, father?' said the
hopeful Il don't remember ever hav-
ing met you before, but l have heard
ma speak of you"
