During the conference at WOr-
cester, the following dialogue was
overheard between two newsboys:

SO many ministers being all here
together?" "Why," answered Jim
scornfully, "they always meet once
a year to exchange sermons with
each other"

recent analysis, composed chiefly of
iron. No less than fifty per cent. Of
a quantity that collected on a news

particles of this metal, which were

rest is chiefly finely divided frag~

From the Gin. Courier-Germsn Republican
1t appears now that the German
Liberal Republicans and the Pro-
gressive Democrats will not come to
the support of the Greeley and
Brown ticket. The Germans are
the sworn enemies of all political
bargains and chaffering, and they
will think twice before they vote for
the "fxed up' ticket of Greeley and
Brown.

The Scientific American explains the
word carat. tits an imaginary weight ex-
pressing the portion of pure gold in u
mass of metal. An ounce of gold is di-
vided into twenty-four carats, and so
gol6 of twenty-five carats fine is gold of
which twenty-five parts are pure, the
other parts being silver, copper or other
metal. Carat is originally the name of
bean which grows upon the carat
tree. This bean varies little in its
weight, and from a remote period has
been used as weight for gold, gems
and pearls in INDIA and Africa.

Our Alaska Cousins.

Now that Alaska with all its treas
ures is ours, the fashions followed by
the female natives ought to be of inter-
est to our ladies. According to Brit
ish Columbia paper, our sisters at Sitka
wear a body dress of equal proportion
of furs and dirt, arranged to suit the
taste of the wearers. The married la
dies all wear rings in their noses and
needles through their lower lips, while
elderly ladies add to their Irresistible
charms a "stopper," whatever that may
be, in the upper lip. Their amusements
are yet restricted to gam bling and drink
ing whisky. The law of divorce is rem
dered unnecessary in Alaska, from a
habit they have of getting married for
limited number of months, the con-
sideration for which is paid in fish,
bones, whale oil and old junk.

Horace Greeley for President!
Gratz Brown for Vice-President ! |
This, then, is the mouse the labor
ing mountain has produced. If
Punch had been put up as President
and George Francis Train as Vice.
President, the shouts of laughter all
over the land could not have been
louder. The most contradictory,
not to say the craziest, of all the
conceited fools in the country; he
who in December, 1860, advised to
"let our erring sisters depart in
peace" who in the spring of 1861
beloved like a madman "On to
Richmond" who after the battle of
Bull Run gave the cowardly advice
of letting the South go, then again
yelled himself hOarse for war to
the knife, and finally, in blubber-
ing fit of sickly sentimentality,
went bail for Jeff Davis; he, the
most rabid of temperance hypO-
critics and Sunday police, is the
candidate of the Liberal Reform
Party! The most fanatically deter
mined Protectionist in all the length
and breadth of the United States is
the candidate of the Free Traders!
The bOOrish, capriciOus, whimsical
"Philosopher," Topping from one
egregious blunder into another, to
he the possible President of these
United States! Truly, this is an
outcome of the Liberal Reform
movement to make the most serious
person in the world burst with
laughter, if it was not so miserably
lamentable.

The Gin. Volksblatt says the
Liberal movement, with Greeley at
its head, no longer has truth and
right on its side. 1t is a botched
movement, and Gratz Brown has
dug his own political grave.
Resolutions Of the Liberal BE
publican Convention.
We,the Liberal Republicans of the
United States, in National Conven-
ton assembled at Cincinnati, pro-
claim the following principles as
essential to just government:
1. We recognize the equality of
all before the law, and hold that it
is the duty of government in its
dealings with the people to mete out
equal and exact justice to all, of
whatever nativity, race, color, or
persuasion, religious or political.
2. We pledge ourselves to main
tain the Union of the States, eman>
cipation and enfranchisement, and
oppose any reopening of the ques-
tions settled by the 18th, 14th, and
18th amendments of the constitu>
tion.
3. We demand immediate and
absolute removal of all disabilities
imposed on account of the rebellion
which was finally subdued seven
years ago, believing that universal
amnesty will result in complete pa
cification in all sections of the coun>
try.
4. Local self'government, with
impartial suffrage, will guard the
rights of all citizens more securely
than any centralized power. The
public welfare requires the supre
macy of the civil over the military
authority, and the freedom of person
under the protection of the habeas
corpus. We demand for the indi-
vidual the largest liberty consistent
with the public order, for the State
selfgovernment, and for the nation
Limitations of power. \
: 5. The civil service of the govern
ment has become mere instrument
of partisan tyranny and personal
ambition, and an object of self
greed. It is a scandal and reproach
upon free institutions, and breeds a
decentralization dangerous to the
prosperity of republican govern
ment.
6. We therefore regard thorough
reform of the civil service as one oi
the most pressing necessities of the
hour; that honesty, capacity, and Fl.
deity constitute the only valid
claims to public employment; thai
the Offices of the government cease
to be a matter of arbitrary favorit-
ism and patronage, and that public
stations become again a post of hon,
or. To this end it is imperatively
required that no President shall be &
candidate for reelection.
! z. We demand a system of Fed
eral taxation which shall not necess
arily interfere with the industry O
the people, and shall provide sufi
cient means to pay the expenses O.
the government, economically ad
ministered, pensions, and the inter.
est on the public debt, and moder
ate annual reduction of the principal
thereof; but, recognizing the exist
ence in our midst of honest, but ir,
reconcilable, differences of opinion
upon the merits Of the respective
IsystemS of protection and free trade
1--we remit the discussion of the sub
ject to the people in their congress

Congress thereon, wholly free from

In the whole history of national

one in which there was more wire

more selfish trickery, more bar

Cincinnati, called to protest against
political wire-pulling. intriguing
and dickering. Mr.. Adams might
