Hon. B. F. Butler has been renominated, in
the sixth congressional district, by reclamation;
and Hon. Luther Day, of Haverhin, has been
| nominated in the same district, as the republi
| can candidate for elector.
In the seventh congressional district, the dem
ocrats and "liberals" have nominated Hon. John
K. Tarbox, of Lawrence, for congressman, and
W. H. Clemence, of Lowell, for elector.
In the tenth congressional district, the demo-
Gratis and liberals" have nominated D. W.
Bond, of the village Of Florence, Northampton,
for congressman. The Springfield Republican
suggests that the intention is to have him with
draw in favor of some regular republican, who,
it is hoped, will be nominated against Col.
Croker. Wesuspect, however, that this scheme
will come TO nothing.
Here is something from the ch ampion Glib
eral' whistler: ga member of the executive
committee of Indiana has reported at the demo-
cratic headquarters that the state will be carried
for Greeley by 10000 majority" This fellow
doesn't whistle loud enough Why stop at 49,
0O02 Try again and say 100000. 1t is Just as
easy.
Hon. A. E. Rogers, lifelong democrat, for
merly representative of Licking county (O) in
the state legislature, and brother of Jack Rogers
of New York, has declared himself in favor of
Grant, and says that he will vote for him at the
November election. This indicates the manner
in which Greeley is regarded by thoughtful
democrats in that section
The Savannah Republican (democratic) calls
the result of the elections "a cold water dash
from the north, and says: "Tn the heated state
Of our feelings here after our late signal victory
and the confident promises of our northern
friends as to what they could and would do yes
terday, the news of those elections has fallen
like cold water dash after hot bath upon our
exulting people.
The Albany Journal says "a prominent and
well known member of the Greeley organization
of this city has just returned from business
tour through Warren and Essex counties. His
report is land he talks it openly that he found
about one-half the democrats of those counties
disguised with Greeley, and determined to co
for Grant"
In New York among the Germans, saws the
Illinois, Staatszeitung, the prospects are most
excellent for Grant, and most miserable for
Greeley. The lists Of the German republican
ward clubs in the city of New York in 1868
could only show about 1000 names. At this
time more than IA 900 are on the lists, while the
German Greeley and Brown ward clubs have NOT
more than 600 members One of the most promi-
nent German politicians of New York writes
that IN every ward German democratic Grant
clubs are forming, and that there can scarcely
bea doubt that the state will poll a majority Of
more than 10000 for Grant

FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS IN JAPAN-Neary
all the foreign newspapers published in Japan
appear to be under English control; at least
there is not one Of them which is friendly to
American interests or influence This hostility
was especially manifest at the time Minister
belong leltJapan in company with the japanese
commissioners, and, in fact, for months before
that event, These papers make common cause
against any progressive idea which finds favor
with the japanese, ii it is of American origin
EngliShmen who have drifted around the world
and turned up in Japan, arc especially gifted in
making dreary newspapers, and in carping at
every improvement of American origin. 1t is
remarkable that no enterprising publisher from
this country has yet started a newspaper in
Japan. Nearly all the reports unfavorable to
japanese progress and to American influence
originated in the jealousy of these foreign jour
mails. For months these papers have persist
entity argued that there was no solid foundation
for the progress which the Japanese were max
ing. The first sign of reaction was seized as
evidence that the policy of the country would
be reversed and the country 90 back to its old
position.
The same hostile influences are noted in the
English papers published in China. Most OF
these papers are heavy, not TO say stupid, lack
ing news and all the characteristics of fresh
American newspaper. The transition of ideas
from the western shore of this continent to Asia
has never been an acceptable fact to any of these
foreign journals And the color which they
give to local occurrences, and especially to the
character of progressive movements in Japan, is
frequently a false one, having its origin in ma
tonal jeaOusies and in the provincial spirit
which controls so largely these isolated journals.

The public at large, which has been kept in

going over to the enemy. That at once cleared
the ield for action. We all knew then that his
power for mischief was at an end; that his re

and defeated candidate, he may blaze away at

CHINESE LABoRERs IN ARKANSAS. - Two
years ago number of Chinese arrived at our
wharf, and were objects of great curiosity. The
negroes, especially, gaZed at them with wonder
ing eyes, declaring: "Dem's niggers, an a
mighty small sort; dey looks as eff swamp fever
was bad where dem folks come from" Some
of these men settled near here, and among them
a small colony found homes and contemplating
in the neighborhOod oEAlarion, Arkansas, some
nine or ten miles from this city. Among them
were AhiMaun, who proved to be a Chinese of
education, gathered up some knowledge of
English rapidly, became popular and was called
by the country people John Ormond. He set to
work at once. The first day his contemplating
amounted to twenty-five pounds. The negroe s
laughed at the small specimen with pig.tail
under his hat. In one year not negro on the
plantanon could bring as much cotton to the
gin house as All Maun. All Maun took his
triumph quietly, and kept his popularity. Last
spring he and six of his fellow countrymen
rented piece of ground near Marion. Twenty
acres they put in corn aud forty in cotton
Seven times was the ground plowed over, until
1t was in complete order for a crop. Every bit
of grass was obliterated, every weed extermi-
nated, every fence corner made clean. The five
men had appointed All Maun "boss," and All
Maun allowed no soyenly ways. Early morn
and dewy eve saw the six Chinese at their tasks :;
patient, plodding, unwearied industry that
never lost heart, never intsrmitted brought
crop Of corn and another of cotton that
are the admiration of Crittenden county.
1t is visited and gazed at as wonders Of
skill, industry, and success. Another won.
der was that All Mlaun and his men not only
knew no such word as fail, but they knew no
such English as "sick;" well they were and wei
they remain through heat and cold, and swamp
fogs and chilly mornings, When picking time
came Alb Maun hired four more of his com
patriots, and all the year the ten are as busy as
ants. On Thursday they sent two bales of cot
ton to the CITY. 1t was received by Keel g. Co,
and Mr.. Keel says two better bales of well
grown, clearly picked cotton he has not seen this
year. All Maun's energy and skill and that of
his hard working companions, is admired, and
we hear il said that if the group choose to break
up next spring, taking new farms and joining
with them new hands, they will be literally aid
ed, and such money and supplies as may be
necessary will not be withheld. All Maun is
triumphant, the white folks regard him as
prodigy, but the negroes are not sure that
there is not little OBJ de debbil IN him" >

Dare gives some useful hints 10 women in these
pararraphs:

A WoMAN's COUNSEL TO WoMEN-"S hirly
Dare" gives some useful hints 10 women in these
paragraphs:
Does a woman deserve respect who calls the
work of her sex drudgery? There are women
who always speak of it by that name, but the V
are usually inferior and under-bred, women who
write about "musses' and Illnesses" for print
prigs or guys Of the feminine gender, tiresome
in society, egotistic at home. These are the
class that complain of cramped faculties and
heavy burdens whose time and ability are too
precious TO see that the soup is piquant, or the
shirts well aired. They bring out Cast articles"
in manuscript TO amuse particular friends, and
converse in a topical way, unconscious what a
snutfy odor peryades their rooms or how shock
ingly matched all the cOlors of their furniture
may be.
lido not speak of the women who neglect
their houses either for study or society, but of
those half-sensible women who perform com
monplace duties in grudgng, disdanful way,
all the time feeling that they waste to use their
formula, liabilities which might be so much
better employed" They dust rooms, mend
clothes and make cake, and call this house
wifery and say the noblest calling of women
means no such frivolous pretense, but work
genuine and compromising, washing of dishes
and Kettles, securing OF tinware and backing of
stoves, pairing of potatoes and putting on of
coal; in short, the whole horrid round indis-
pensible to bright houses and good fare. Many
women may not be called upon to do these
things, but every woman, princess or peasant,
ought to know how they should be done, and
have dexterity and practice enough to do them
This is women's province, which all gentle
women should learn, just as men of rank learn
the science of war, till they know how much sand
goes to charge of gunpowder, and how much
labor goes to squaring earthworks. Many peo-
pie are saying this over in different ways-Geo
Elliot and Geo. Sand, indirectly, in their heroes
and heroines who are never, by any possibility,
afraid of the meanest labor; Mrs. Craik, Fred

RUSSIA IN THE EAsT.-The Russian papers
publish various particulars about the rupture
between Russia and Khiva. The khan of Khiva
is described as "a young man of twenty seven
with great military abilities and Unsuitable am
bitiOn, who openly proclaims his determination
not to leave a foot Of ground to the foreign in
yaders in Central Asia and has for some time
been securing allies for campaign against Rus
sia He not only sent his emissaries into the
Russian territory of Mangischlack to stir up an
instruction among the Kirghiz, but despatched
an embassy to Calcutta to apply for the assist
ance of England. The viceroy advised a recon-
Citation with Russia, upon which the ambasSa-
dor replied: This cannot be, for Russia has
deeply offended the khan; she has not even
sent him a despatch sealed with a golden
seal, though he is equal in rank to all
other sovereigns." AT grand council
held by the khan some of the members de-
clared themselves opposed to a war with Russia.
Yesi-Mourad, one OF the khan's uncles, then rose
and said: "When / was a boy people were al
ready talking of the danger of Russian inya-
sion. This danger was ayerted; the Muscovte
fears us. ] have grown old, and have not seen
Russian yet; nor shall we see them in our own
country. But if we act like towards, and give
up our prisoners, our power will depart from us.
The Torcomans and Klrghiz will attack us, and
khiya will be shamefuly subdued" This
speech made great impression in the coun-
Gil, and it was unanimously resolved not TO
yield to the Russian demands Three Rus
sian columns have now been sent against the
khlan from BiSeh-Akt, Karakoum, and Ust-
Urt but it is expected that they will find the
task of conquering Khiva hard one, as the
Khiyans are brave and enterprising and have
large army.

Singing Camnnigns.

In an article abiding to the failure of the
mongrels to convert this into white hat singing
campaign, the Nation expresses a doubt as to
there having been hard cider singing campaign
in 1910. The Nation is mistaken. We have
never yet seen a description that exaggerated
the wild scenes of hilarity and excitement
which prevailed, in the western states at least,
IN that year. The candidacy of Tom Corwin for
governor of Ohio added the clog cabin" feature
to the campaign, and in that state the Juror rose
to the highest pitch.
whig demonstration was conducted in the
following manner: Several days before the
appointed time the local committees would call
for volunteer teams and wOod-choppers to 90 to
the woods to cut and haul buckeye logs. Enough
of these to build a good sized cabin would be
piled in the place selected for the big meeting
A thorough canvass of the town and neighbor-
hood would then be made to ascertain how
many visitors each wing family could gratui-
touSly accommodate with bed and board for
day and night, there being a general under
standing that everybody was 10 keep "the
latch-stTing out" and houses dispensing hospi-
talites were designated by flags displayed from
the windows. Immense delegations from neigh
boring towns would begin to pour in the night be-
fore meeting, many of them making a two days
journey to reach the place, and these were lodged
and fed gratuitOusly at the villages on the way.
The ceremonies of the next day would begin with
the Inauguration of log cabin built from the
green buckeye logs, in which exercises the null

drinking barrels of cider. This was followed by
speeches IN some convenient grove, and at mig hit
the crowd would start on their homeward jour
ney, or TO the next meeting, where the same
scenes would be re-enacted. Frantic wings ate
buckeyes and men, women and children seemed
for weeks together to give themselves wholly
to the business of politics. The excitement
was kept up after the election, and at a ratifi-
cation meeting held at Columbus, Ohio, on the
22d of February, 1S41, crowds Of the best men Of
Ohio marched through the streets in the midst
of heavy rain, with the mud half boot leg deep.
Ohio went for Harrison. and COrYin with
hurrah, but in two short years the tables were
turned, and Shannon was elected governor by
the democrats in 1912. Soon after his defeat in
that year Corwin happened in Washington, and
met Clay, who asked him if the change in Ohio
was one of the results of his bad management
of state affairs "No," said Corwin, "the truth
of the matter is, that in 1910 rode INTO office on
HarriSon's back; this year tried to carry you,
Clay, and you broke nae down, Missouri Dem

NJ. THEIRS AND HIS DRESSING GowN.-Not
many days ago NJ. Theirs received from his
Paris tailor a handsome dressing gown. When
the parcel was handed TO the president there
were three women present: his wife, his sister
in-law aud friend of theirs. The president
tried it on, and lonnd only one fault with it,,
namely, that it was somewhat too long, and
suggested that it was fault which might be
easily remedied at home, without sending it
back to the tailor. To this the women assented
Nine. Theirs wished to surprise her husband,
and contrived during the course of the evening
TO shorten the dressing gown and lay it back in
its place unperceived. In her hurry to get it
done quickly she did not notice that her sister
had been beforehand with her, and had already
completed the task. Later on in the evening
the friend stole away from the company, and
carried out the idea she had planned in her own
mind of being the one who should perform this
pleasing duty. Next morning NJ. Theirs called
