now to the "present position" OF the two can
didates, which is the subject OF your next in
quiry. II i'll any former particulars tho two

Greeley. Each was nominated by Republi-
can convention, one at Cincinnati and the
other at Philadelphia, 30 that in this respect
they may seem to bo on an equality. But it
viii not fail to be observed that the conven-
ton at Cincinnati was composed OF able and
acknowledged Republicans. many OF whom
have acted with the party from its first for
nation; who, without previous organization,
came together voluntarily for the sake Of re-
form and purity In the Government; while, on
the other hand, the convention at Philadel-
phia was composed OF delegates chosen
largely under the influence OF stockholders,
who assembled to sust ain what is known as
Grantism, being tho personal government
and personal pretensionB OF Grant, involving
nepotism, repayment OF gifts by official pm
tronage, neglect OF public duty, abscnteeism
military rule, disregard OF constitution and
law, with general unfitness and indignity to
lican as to make it's support impossible for
true Republicans. Therefore, tho conyep-
ton at Philadelphia, though calling itself
Republican, was less Republican in reality
than that ut Cincinnati. The two platforms,
30 far as concerns especially the colored men,
arc alike in substance, but that OF Cincinnati
is expressed in terms most worthy OF tho
equal rights it states and claims: "We recog-
nlZe tho equality OF all men before the law,
and bold that it is tho duty OF Government in
its dealings with the people to meto ont equal
and exact justice to all. of whatever nativity,
race, color or persuasion, religious or politi-
CAL" In other respects, the platform OF Gin
cinnati is tho most Republican, inasmuch as
it sots itselfagainst those unrepublican abuses
which havo bcen Burscd by the President
into pcrnicious activity.
From tho two nominations and two plat
forms como to tho supporters of the candi-
dates, and here look, first. a. those immedi-

The pain of dying must he distinguished

GIBBS, and scnsibllity declines. As death is
the final extinction of C rporeal feelings.
50 numbness increases as death comes on.
The prostration of diseases. like healthful

might be seen in those lofty mountains,
whose sides exhibiting every climate in
regular graduation, vegetation luxuriates
at their base, and dwindcs In the near
approach TO the regions of snow, till its
feeblest manifestation is repie>sed by the

more formidable than when the brain Is
the last TO go, and the mind preserves to
the end rational cognizance of the state of
the body.
Yet persons thus situated commonly at

Our hearts rose in sympathy, and we

with hesltancy, "a mother is great loss in
general, but our mother had outlived her
usefulness. She was in her second child

OLD RAGs.-First and foremost of the
many applications of this humble material
is the manufacture of paper ; for this pur-
pose England alone uses not less than S5,-
900 tuns of rags and waste, representing a
money value of about 50, 500, 900. THE trans
formation effected by the action of certain
chemicals on paper Is very striking. A
sheet of common white plotting paper,
which will scarcely bear its own weight
when wetted, is converted in few seconds,
by the action of sulphuric acid into a sub
stance possessing all the properties of or
binary animal parchment, and so strong
that IL can be only broken with difficulty
Great as this change Is, strange to say no
chemical alteration has really taken place !;
the acid merely produces molecular
change, and Is entirely washed away at the
end of the process. tags from woollen ma
terials undergo many peculier metamor-
phoses old clo' criers first collect them /;
they are then successfully converted into
mungo, shoddy, and DEVILS dust, and re-
appear as ladies' srperfine cloth they
then degenerate into druggets, and arc fl
nally used for the manufacture Of flock pa
per. After undergoing all these transfer
nations, they are used by the agrlculturist
as manure, on account Of the large amount
of nitrogen they contain. The presence of
this element makes them of great use, also,

ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES ORA Lone
LIFE.-Tbe death of an old man at Wap-
pinger's Falls, Duchess county, N. Y, a
few days ago, ended novel bargain, In
which more was paid than was intended to
be paid. About twenty-five years ago,
when the old man was about eighty years
old, he was partner in a manufacturing
establishment, which he started aud built
up, alterward taking in two other partners.
These, amer they had learned the business,
wanted to shove the old man out, but did
MT succeed until they promised TO pay him
$1,000 year until he died. So the old man
retired, but lived on. In course of time
the younger partners died. Their sons
succeeded them, aud they, too, died before
the old man, but he continued in the en-
joyment of his $1,000 income for years after
they were buried, and at last died, at the
age of one hundred aud four years. Rond-

Senator Carpenter is getting pretty low
and desperate in his partisanship. In a

clared that Horace Greeley was in favor of
paying pensions to the rebel soldiers, and
of its slaves and other property in the war.

And the still stars glow;
The murmuring waters rise aud retreat,
The winds come and go.

In this strange country,
60 sure, 40 bright, in glow Of dream,
All things flow FREQ.
1t is life, all life, all awful and plain,
In the beating heart in the wondrous brain,
In the flesh and the blood.
Deep as death is the daily strife
OF this strange country;
All things move up till they blossom in life
And tremble and foe.
Nothing is stranger than the rest,
From the pole to the pole
The world in the ditch, the esss in the nest
The Aesh and the soul.
Look in mine eyes, man meet
In tho strange country
Come to mine arms, o maiden sweet,
with thy mouth kiss mel
Who goes by with crown on his BROW
King Solomon?

And must journey onl
wondrous faces that up start
In this strange country?
o identities that become part
OF my soul and me?
What are ye building so fast and fleet,
o humankind?
ave are building cities for those whose feet
Are coming behind.
Our stay is short; we must fly again
From this strange country:
But others are growing, women and men,
Etcrnally."
Ay, what art thou, and what am I,
but breaking wave?
Rising and falling, swift we fly
To the shore of the grave.
I have come from n mystical Land of Light
To this strange country;
This dawn came; shall go tonight;
Ay, mel ay, me!
I hold my hand to my head and stand
Meath the airs blue arc;
I try to remember the mystical Land,
But all IL da.k.
And all around me swim shapes like mine
In this strange country;
They break in the glamour Of CLEANS divine,
And they moan, "Ay, mel"
Like waves in the cold moons silyern breath
They gather and roll
Each crest Of white is a birth CT q death,
Each sound is soul.

Ger this strange country
II draws US along with chain Of light,

Mr.. GREELEY AND THE WoMEN.-A
woman of Chicago thus earnestly and
truthfully writes of Mr.. Greeley and his
relations TO her sex: On the score of prln-
ciple, honor, and integrity in life and
thought, there Is no man in the country
who better deserves the veneration and
advocacy OF good and high minded women,
there is none who merits more earnest
gratitude. He has neither rushed about,
for the silly and inconsequent demands for
what the women of the nation have not
asked for themselves, nor ~ tAsu2.rbune
with burning eulogies of Inc < who
did so rush and shout. But he hA7 ,een all
his life sincere, honest and pract SSelp-
err of women in work and in edu, non. |
believe that the Tribune was the tiSt paper
in America TO employ women, and 1t is
certainly to-day, the most just and gener-
Gus in rewardlng their work. Personally,
and through his paper, Mr.. Greeley has
more powerfully and effectively advanced
the highest and most urgent interests of
women than all the suffrage takers put
together. And at no time has he signihed
dlsnclination to assist the feminine claim
to vote when that claim shall have been
made by a reasonable majority of women.
A man of sense, of honor, of judgment, of
great Kindness of heart, he deserves and
will have all that the modest and dignihed
political advocacy of thoughtful and refined
Am ercan women can do for him.
