idea that if the rumor is correct, and the
change is made, the fusion movement
will receive the strongest claims it has yet
had on the suffrages of the people.
We do not anticipate, however, the
ready acceptance of this voluntary advice.
Many will suppose it interested advice,

THE STATE TICKET.

The cali Of the Democratic Parish Cons
fnittee for new shuttle of the political
cards states that one Of the objects to be
attained is the selection of estate officers. "
Either the language is obscure, or the par
oehial Democracy is dissatisfied with the
fusion ticket. It has been suggested that
this ambiguity of expression is employed
for the purpose Of deluding the Liberals
and Republicans with the hope that new
State ticket is to be proposed upon which.
they will have more of their friends, AS
the call geads, those conservatives who
are ilispleased with the McEnery ticket

false hope
Even The Reformers, whose uttera noes.

similar language and include an entire
change of performance in the pro-
gramme for their little penny show They,
TOO threaten to NEEDLE with the State
ticket Now, it is clear to US that if any
change Is contemplated upon the fusion
State ticket, it will be in the interest of
the Democracy, as all the conferences
heretofore held have resulted in a grayi-
tatlon into that groove. Perhaps it would
be as well to remove all the Republicans
from the ticket at once and thus throw off

AN APPEAL TO TIE nPEnPLE .

The parish committees of the Demo-
cratic party and the Reform faction do
not appear to be in harmony just now
The former, having disguised and repulsed
the Liberals by its grasping selhshness, is
now disposed to quarrel with its valet, the
Reformers. The latter, having no way to
help the matter, has accepted the warning
to leave, and advertised for new engage-
ment. Both master and man now propose
to assume the management of a political
movement which each separately claims to
be the only way to ''unite all the elements
opposed to Radicalism, and satisfy the
intense desire Of the people for true re-
form Two popular elections are there
tore to be held. A wide separation of
forces IS determined upon, under the pre-
tense Of consolidating the conservative
sentiment. Having driven the Liberal
Republicans and Democrats out of the
committee rooms by DENYING to them
their proportion of influence ana sbaro Of
the offices, they expect to recruit them ot
large wherever found As the Democrats
neither expect nor desire to gain back anv
considerable number Of the Reformers
and as the latter are too weak to do anv-
thing themselves, they thus address them
selves independently to the only two fac
nons of the conservative element that can
give them hope Of success.

THE MYSTERY OF NUMBERs.-Pytha-
goras held numbers to be the principle of
all things; and perhaps they are, when
frequently added together with prefxed.
The two great principles of the sage were
the monad and Quad, in other words,
unity, duality. A modern philosopher
has come out in the Ontario Messenger
in favor of number three. He has roam
ed about in the store house of his memory
and pulled down from his shelves every
thing young or old, good or bad, and
indifferent, that bears trial character
or aspect.
Three was the number of the Graces,
the Fates, the Fures, the Syrens, the
Gorgons and the Greas-those Internal
hags, who had but one eye and one tooth
amorg them, which they used to borrow
by turns, as they we're to see company or
chew their cud.
Geryon had three bodies Cerebus,
heads enough for them all, and Solomon
as many options. There were three Tri,
umviIates Caesar, Pompey, Crassus
Augustus, Antony and Sepsidus and
Andrews, Beville and Carewe. The last
is formed by one Triglph too.
Apollo has his Tripod and Neptune his
Trident. One, two, three and away was
the word for starting at the Olympic
races. And the ancients used to call
thrice upon any corpse, to know if itcould
start any objections to its being inferred.
Which naturally leads me to Hades or
AIDES, the old fashion region of distribu-
ton, according to our good or bad deed.
II consisted OF three provinces, Erebus,
Tartarus and Elysium-Heaven, He'll and
Purgatory-it had its three judges, too:
Minos, Alacus, and Rhadamanthus. Its
three rivers, too: Phlegthaon, Cocytus
and Acheron, with many other Triads
too numerous and inconsiderable TO men :
tion.
To this might have been added that
three wise men of Gotham went to sea in
bowl; that sentry says "who comes
there 2" three times, before he sends a
bullet after man; that a note OF hand
has three days grace; and that II postage
stamp costs three cents.
