OLD PREJUDICES ARE DYING OUT
New facts are killing them. The idea that in
valids weakened by disease can be relieved by
prostrating them with drugs, is no longer en-

Shearer, near Shermansdale was dcstro, ,ed
by fire on Sunday evening week. The fire
was discovered between 8 and o'clock and

goods, and with other help which soon an
rived succeeded in saving part OF the

WHAT WE SHALL Do.-So many persons
see it TO canvass the course of the Tribune
in the Presidential canvas now opening, and
to question us on that subject, that no egotism,
but resolve that no one shall have a right to
charge us with equivocation or concealment
prompts us to set forth, as plainly as we can,
precisely what we purpose and expect TO do
in each probable contingencyS
l. IL there shall be Democratic candidates
for President and Vice. President In the field,
we propose 10 support that Republican ticket
which seems most likely TO succeed.
2. IL the main issue In the eanyass shall be
Protection against Free Trade, we shall (no
matter as to the candidates) he found on the
side of Protection.
g. But if (as we hope and expect there shall
be two Republican tickets, and none other,
presented with any hope of success we shall
favor that one whose election will be, in our
judgment, most likely to promote economy
in public expenditure, purity in legislation and
in administration, substantial unanimity in up
holding for all citizens complete equality of
rights under the law, and hasten tbs return of
fraternal concord and mutual good will be-
| tween those who were arrayed against each

"A noted cooper OF Nuremberg, who had amassed q
very large fortune by his skillful workmanship and
business ability, had also beautiful and pished
daughter At the time that she attained the age of
womanhood, her own beauty and accomplishments, as
well the great wealth of her father, attracted many
suitors who desired her in marriage, among whom
OF noble birth. The father, although am
btious for his daughters welfare resolved that he
would not bestow her upon any man, matter how
exalted In station, unless he could with his hands
make frst-class cask. This requirement drove many
OF the sutors away. But there was young Primo.
who resolved 10 win the diugher upon the con-
ditions fixed by the eccentric father. He accordingly
disguised himself In attire and applied to the
rich cooper for situation as an apprentice, and was
employed. BY bis althfness industry and mechanical
SKILL he won the esteem of his MASTER who advanced
him until he was finally allowed to perform a the labor
to make and finish cask, which he did the
complete satisfaction of his master He then informed
his master OF his real position in life and claimed the
hand Of his daughter"

MAST continues to show up Sumner q Co.
by his inimitable genius, in the pages of Har-
per's Weekly. Some of his cartoons on this
subject are alike significant and forcIble with
those that upset the municipal powers of New
York city, and If they do not produce in this
case result quite as sore in its disappoint-
mcnt, II will not because IL Is not merited. We
notice that some of our contemporaries look
upon the course of Mast and the Harpers as
outrageous trifilng with grave dignities.
That such q course is unworthy of this journal
of civilization, etc. Perhaps these conclusions
are preciptated by The shade of feeling enter
tanned toward the administration. From our
standpoint, If eharicature is admissible in
correcting mischief and wong any where, il
is rs applicable to Senators as any one else.
When they so far forget their position as to
enter upon course of conduct calculated to
throw discredit upon the government, to mis-
lead and deceive the people, crafty malignant
feelings, and work only mischief and all with
the chief end in view of ministering to an In.
ordinate ambition for office and personal
aggrandisement, they put themselves outside
of the immuni!ies OF their Office, and are Just
as fit subjects for Nssfs withering wit and
ridicule us men OF lower degree. 1tis source
of sorrow and regret, that Senators of mature
minds should show so little appreciation OF
their own power and influence, and 80 little
regard for the dignity and honor of their posi-.
tion, as to expose themselves TO this kind OF
treatment. The solicitude of our cotempo-
raries, on their behalf, we eannot think, Is
hardly merited.
