MISCELLANEOUS CAMPAIGN DASHES.

The St. Louis Democrat has the irreverence to say
that "the captain Of canal boat would be quite as
much In place on the quarterback Of Cunard
steamer in q whirlwind as would such man as
Greeley be In place at the head OF our national
affairs at the present time. His election would be
practical joke upon forty millions Of people, who,
with all their faults deserve better fate than to
be sacrificed at the shrine of q meddlesome old
mans insane ambition"
Says the Milwaukee Sentinel:-oHow the politi.
cal sea gives up Its dead for Greeley The loaf of
office, floating the waters, has brought the long
time dead to the surface again. Among the corpses
we discover Gwin, Of California; Extra Billy Smith,
Of Virginia. Border Ruifian Atchison, RedHanded

The Carlisle Pa.) Herald remarks that Pike

unanimous choice OF the democracy OF that section.
Horace used to describe that county as the "place
where they used five gallons Of whiskey to every
spelling book" Misery makes strange conn anions

CHARLEsT0wN, Mass, July 5, 1872
At labor meeting at Blacksmths and Ma
chinists' Hall this evening E. NJ. Chamberlain said
that the call for conference OF the labor party in
New York; July 3O was an endeavor to assemble
those who believe that the only honest
course for labor refOrmers to pursue
was to support candidates who stood upon
platform proposing explicit measures for the
benefit OF labor. That, as neither Grant nor Gree
ley was the representative Of party OF that idea,
labor reformers could go for neither. II move.

candidate upon q platform guaranteeing
the enactment and execution OF short

labor reiormers to naugurate the party or the
future by making out and out workingmen's nomi-
nations; but that II danger was apprehended OF

What do YOU think OF a young lady dancing

around her neck? They do 1t at Nlblo's. And
it is real snake. 1t hasn't eaten anything In

Then It gorges itself enough to last When It
does eat, they say 1t moves like lightning. and
devours anything within Its reach. Abeauli-
ful girl-Sassi, Is her name-lfts the reptile
from The urn and coils 1t around her neck,
yes, laws 1t against her naked bosom Now
she dances with 1t In the air, while the snake
darts out its tongue between two eyes which
seem to spIt fire. The audience Is transfxed
with horror, and they ferl relieved when sassl
fnally goes through the pantomime as II she
were charmed and then bitten by the snake.
Failing on the floor the audience shudder for
fear the snake has really bitten her, and the
snake is left 10 coil upon the stage. They
say this beautiful girl is curlously affected by
the snake. She goes off the stage unconcern-
ed. but she breathes as If che had gone
through a trying orteal.-just escaping death.
She breathes iasI, hectic flush is upon her
cheek, and cold drops Of sweat stand upon heE
