The Marshall Times, OF last week,
placed the name OF Hon. James Viii.
son at the head of its columns, IS
candidate for Congress, and then
says:
We have placed Mr.. Wilson in
nomination for Congress, not because
we have such penchant tor the
name of Wilson, tour ticket THUS tar
beng made up OF Wilsons.) but be,
cause we recognize IN Mr.. Wilson
not only man OF decided ae lity,
but one Of ,ncorruptible integrity
ana honor A man who would
scorn TO do a ncan act, and who il
above the wiley ways OF politicians
Mr.. Wilson is farmer and from his
farm was sent to the Legislature,
where he served with such signal
ability that he was unanimously
selected by the Republicans OF the
last Legislature TO preside over that
body, and so near right were all his
decisions, that not once, during the
entire session has an appeal from his
decision been taken. This, we ven.
ture the assertion, can not BE sail OF
any other speaker who has ever
welded the gavcl over that body.
He has always been found RICH, and
no prejudice has ever been suffered
to mar his action. Mr.. Wilson can
not be otherwise than popular with
the farmers Of the District, for being
one of them he knows their wants
and understands the Legislation need
Cd to meet them. We have no doubt
o. his nomination III this District, and
we think some steps should soon be
taken towards calling convention.

AS we hoped, Senator Sumner thus
far keeps aloof from all connection
with the Cincinnati movement. No
party can have his sympathies which
depends for success upon Democratic
votes. In this, Mr.. Sumner exhibits
wisdom aud consistent adherence to
the noble aims Of his life. Wise
birds are not caught with chat.

A QUAINT SToRY.--There iSa quint
story dating from the time Of 0olum-
bus, which shows what mysterious
personality and power ride tribes
could attach to liielcss- matter. The
cacique Hatney, it il related, heard by
his spies in Hispaniola, that the Span
iards are coming to Cuba So he call
ed his people together aud talked Of
the Spaniards-how they pcrsectited
the natives of the islands, and how
they did such things for the sake Of
the great Lord, whom they much de-
sired and loved. Then, taking one q
basket with gold in it, he said, "Ye
see here their Lord whom they serve
and go after; and, rs We have heard,
slley see coming llither to seek this
Lord. Therefore let lis make him a
feast, that when they come he may
tell them not to do usharm." So they
danced and sung from night to morn
ing before the gold basket, and the
then cacique told them not to keep the
Christians lord anywhere. for ifthey
kept him in their very bowels they
would have to bring him out; so he.
bade they cast him to- the bottom of
the river, aud this they did.

> The st. Louis Republican and Sena-
tor Blair, although they are agreed
on the 'passiye policy" disagreed as
to one important feature Of it, and
that is, which party is to make the
nomination? Blair thinks that the
best plan will be for the Democrats to
move forward in the matter, and
nominate liberal Republican whose
principles are least Objectionable, and
then count on the assistance Of their
liberal friends; while the Republican
holds that the Democrats should keep
perfectly quiet, and depend on the
discolftented Republicans to make a
choice. Is it possible that the passive
policy party is already on the eve of
a big split!

The wise Emperor Thsodosius had
three daughters. Wishing to dis
cover which of them loved him best,
/ he said to the first; How much DO
you love me!"
More than myself" was the reply.
Pleased with her affection, he gave
her In marriage to o mighty king.
Then he came to the second, and asked
her how much she loved him.
''As much as do myself" she an
swered.
The Emperor married her to a
duke.
Afterwarl he inquired Of his third
daughter: -.
"And how much do you love me 2"
Gas much as you deserve, and no
more" was her somewhat pert re-
sponse.
Her father thought an earl good
enough for her.
Some time after this the Emperor
was beaten Ia battle by the king Of
Egypt, and was driven from the land
he had long ruled so wisely.
In his distress he naturally, thought
of his aiIectionate first-born, and
writing an epiStle to her with his own
hand, cntreated her, in most pathetic
words to succor him. Her husband
was willing to assist his tatller-if-law
to the utmost of his power; but the
unnatural daughter declared that five
knights only should be sent to him, to
remain with him until he should re-
gain his crown. Theodosius was OF
heavy heart when he saw but live
horsemen riding toward him, instead
OF the countless spears he hoped soon
to see bristling on the horizon; but he
concealed his emotion, and wrote for
aid to his second daughter.
She was willing to find him food
and clothing fit for his rank during the
of his misfortune, but
would not suffer her doughty duke"
to lead an army iuto the iell In his
behalf.
The Emperor, almost in despair,
applied last of all to his third tlaugll-
ter, and she, shedding full floods Of
tears, when she heard of her fathers
melancholy circumstances, prevailed
upon her husband to raise a gallant
host, by means Of which Theodosius
was quickly enabled to resume the inl-
perial purple. Grieved that he had
given her credit for so little affection,
when, as he found, it was the ruling
passion of her heart, he without hes
tation willed his sceptre to his loving
child.

than the producing OF seals and ice

Alaska is said to be excellent, and the
beds almost inexhaustible. These

For DE m ocratie BOOSTERS.

Nasty, who, by the way, is to lecture here
next week, says he is not a humOrist but a
moralist. The evil resulting from reelection
of President Grant must, from this, be at
once apparent.
Wachtel had splendid audience in Chi
cagO, thus proving beyond a Democratic doubt
that President Grant has bestowed $685.
9O1 ,23l4 offices upon his own and his wife S
relations.
A mad dog was killed in Augusta, KY, the
coolest night last week. No Democratic edi-
tor would require more convincing proof than
this of the utter profiigacy of the Republican
administration.
Three women have applied to Commodore
Vanderbilt for situations as conductors on the
N. Y. Central Railroad. No palmer evidence
than this has yet been given of the perfidy
and treachery of General Grant.
The Grand Duke laughed until the tears
came into his eyes when he looked at the
Shrove Tuesday carnival in New Orleans.
What further proof of Grants simplicity in
the New York frauds could any Democrat
desire.
Eighteen years ago Carl SchurZ stood as a
visitor on the floor of the United States Senate
chamber, and could not comprehend what was
said around him. Surely after such an eX-
ample no logical man would vote for Grant for
President.
Julius Caesar was a soldier and wanted to
be king. President Grant was soldier, con-
sequently there is terrible danger that in case
he were reelected he would overthrow all our
existing institutions and crown himself En-
peror of the District of Columbia.
Chicago asks the Government to give the
walls, foundation, and site of the old custom
house, which are still standing, to the city for
public library. This is capital chance to
assist the party in power. If the request is
granted the cry is to be: Reckless extrava-
gance. If it is refused the shout is to be /:
Hard-hearted parsimoniousness.
A sharp Memphisian, DESTROYS of seeing
Alexis, took off his coat, put Saratoga trunk
on his shoulder, and walked up stairs, evading
the police, who were instructed to keep every
body out of the Peabody House. He carried
a two hundred pound trunk up two flights, he
didn't see the Grand Duke, and had his coat
stolen. Thus proving that Grant is drunk
every morning before breakfast.
