The Straight-Out Democracy.

The result of the recent elections
in Kentucky has had the effect Of
everywhere disheartening the De-
mocracy, and has given an increased
impetus to the movement for hold
ing straight out Democratic Con-
vention at Louisville, the time hav-
ing been set for September. The
indications now are that the move
ment will be largely participated in
by the leaders of the d-fashioned
Democracy.

NOTHING LIKE LEATHER.


In early days our fathers wore
Their home made buckskin breeches,
Cut out by guessvork measurement,
With leather thongs for stitches;
And now their sons are called again
To rally meath the banner
Borne by those men Of leather craft,
The CobbIer and the Tanner.
The North and South, the East and West,
Will work and sing together,
And march to glorious victory
For nothing wears like leatherI
We have some jobs on mongrel pelt,
And have the hands to do them;
Our Grant viii neatly curry them,
And Wilson wax it to them
The chopper up at Chappaqua
May GU It with his planning;
Well let him furnish all the bark,
But Grant will do the tanniDgi
The skinned chaps will uppers make,
The tough old hides the neither;
The boiling, sorehead crowds will do
For nothing but split leatheri
The "lAter Frsnklin," statesman, sage,
Philosopher and farmer,
Retired in cool and rural shades,
As days grow long and warmer,
Can milk the gentle butternut,
That grszes round with hell on,
And pan out butter sweet for Gratz
To spread bis watsrmelonl
Or he may seize his ready pen,
In st8ny, rainy weather,
n L
Or modes Of melting leather
To spoil so fne q husbandman,
Who, perched up in the city,
Writes quires Of what he never knew,
1t surely were pity.
mol let him breed the short-horn duck,
And Poland. China gobbIeri
Wen burden with the cares Of State,
The Tanner and the CobblerI
The grand array of Comnonwealths
They'll bind. as with tether,
That ne'er again shall broken be-
For nothing holds like leatheri
The squad that sought old OhappaquA.
To marshal meath his pennon,
Will be surprised to meet our flag,
And find there is q Hes. onl
That flag is borne by gallant hands,
Four million votes behind it;
Alasl Where is the mongreI hope!
"Go West"-they cannot find I'll
Like Grant, when in the Wilderness,
Well "push," in spite of weather;
And ''on this line wo'n fight II out"
There Is nothing like leather
Then, Freedoms temple, rear it high
And il we need a capstone,
Or key to bind broken arch,
Take Henry Wilson's lap-stoDel
To guard it we must have a man
Who never hslts nor misses;
We've many soldiers tried and true
None better than Ulysses
The Tanner and the Cobbler are
The men 10 work together;
They'll win the field, and keep it, too
For nothing holds like leather

Funeral Mnfas.

In England and France there exists 8 class of persons whose profession is to at- tend funerals as chief mourners, deoked
 out in all the habiliments of woe. There is something exceedingly repulsive to all
 sensible and sensitive people, in the epeo- tacle of hired mourners-persons paid to grieve for departed friend or relative and the enlightenment and liberallty of the 18th century revolt against this un- seemly custom. Accordingly, the papers of France and England have begun cru sade against the system, which will not be without effect in reforming it, even if they do not succeed, backed by public opinion, in abolishing it altogether. The mutes, in Paris, are under Government surveillance, and the staff appointed for the purpose consists of an Inspector Gen. eral and ffty-tWo sub-officers, whose duty it is to look after the thousand and one details of funeral ceremonies, from the dressing of the body to the services in the church and at the burial grounds, the procuring of interment in cemeteries. andeto see thatsthe charges for all services are reasonable. An officer ia always present at every interment, The dress o1 the mutes consists of black suit, black hat with crape, and black gloves and eravats. Their hair is cropped close, like priests, and their faces are smooth shay
 en. The number ct funeral may vary, according to the pomp of the funeral, ol the circnmstances of the family. There is a company in Paris-.Whieh, has the mo-
 nopoly of conducting funerals, and which employs the mutes and others, for whom they have rooms to dress, get shaved etc
