The lesson and the logic of the last
campaign is Capitalization. If Gen.
eral Grant is really equal to the acqui-
sition of Cuba, San Domino and
Mexico, it means new regime, Amer
lea a nation, and Grant the man of
destiny. A coup d'etat that meant
business, would develop strength
from unexpected quarters. A healthy
revolution in principles of govern
ment which have proven an expen-
sive failure, would be just now well
coined by the average DemocratNorth
and South.-I'oled0 Democrat.

claim as we long ago predicted they
would, that the people of the United

cI,aracterized his liz.

principle which characterized his life,
and there IN is lesson for US also.
How faithfully he did his work and
lived his life ? 1t is superhuous for
me to say that it was an eminently
practical one. What various interests
of art, ,-of labors of education, of tenn
perance, OF domestic polity, of free
dom go mourning for him to-day.
WELDING the mighty power of the
mightiest engine of the times, placed
in the editorial chair that he was, it is
no light thing to say that however
strongly, some may think severely, he
used his pen as an instrument of his
thoughts or principles, he never de-
based it as a stimulus of impurity, or
made it the vehicle of single social
wrong. While HORACE Greeley had
many antagonists, he had few, if any
enemies. MAY l not without viola
ting any of the proprieties OF this oc-
casion, express my satisfaction that
while political differences lay sealed
within these enclosed lids, the highest
representation of the Nation to-day
here bows its head in honor of the
thinker, the worker, the patriot and
man. Attempted applause, which

the .irst or second choice of any number of
liberals, apd we are very sure he will not be
accepted by them more readily than Judge
Davis, Brown, Cox or Trumbull. Indeed we
fear that even if aided by the democratic
convention, there will be some difficulty in
rallying the democratic mass to his support,
despite their evident wish to sustain the ac-
ton of the Cincinnati convention. No mat

CAsToRrA-is scientific vegetable prepar-
alton; perfect substitute for and more etfec-
tive than Castor Oil, and is pleasant to take.
1t cleanses the system in a most remarkable
manner; does not distress or grippe, but oper-
ates when all other remedies have failed. 1t
is certain to- supersede Pills, Castor Oil, Mar
cote Syrups and all other purgative and ex-
citing medicines. The Castoria contains
neither Minerals, Morphine nor Alcohol. By
its emolient, soothing effect, it assimilates the
food and produces natural sleep particularly
adapting it to crying and teething children.
1t cures stomach ache, wind collie, constipa-
ton, hatulency, Group and kills worms. Make
your Druggist send for it; he will always
keep it, as every family must hayeit. 1t costs
but fifty cents bottle. 4wl9

There are many styles of ''Dolly Warden

There are many styles Of "Dolly Warden"
some very gaudy and others quite modest.
One lady has been noticed whose "Dolly Var
den" was of tender marine color, which
suggested a summer sea, over the bosom of
which the ships sail homeward, waited by the
odor.laden breezes. The odor was Of musk,
indicating the absence of soap and water.
This sea-blue or sea-green "Dolly" was COW
cred with little yachts, whose snow-white sails
were all set and full Of the breeze before
mentioned, and they were careening all over
the woman in the most dstracting manner.
The garment was violently gored and fearfully
girdled, and these little arrangements capsized
some OF the ships some careened quite over;
some were laundering in deep side-seams, and
some had sunk in shallow seams; some had
lost a jb in the carelessness of dart, and
some of the mast-heads were shivered in a
shirr. Now and then the encr oachments Of
button-holes gave these drifting sea-houses
the appearance Of undigniied cat-rigged, no.
account little craft; SO that altogether the
woman who carried them made stunning
show.

The Eruption of Vesuvius.

The Globe has despatch from Rome date'
the 2Sth, giving particulars of the eruption o
Vesuvius. 1t says:
| The announcement of the terrible scenes
taking place at Mount Vesuvius was formally
made ia the Chamber of Deputies, by Prime
Minister LAMA, who read q despatch stating
that the eruption of Vesuvius was increasing
and becoming more serious. Many persons
had been buried by the lava. Flames had
burst from the earth under the feet of the
Inhabitants. Tore del Greco was in danger
of destruction; the people were flying from
the town. Temporary provision was made
for them by the authorities. A fresh crater
opened on Friday. The ashes and lava
threatened the villages on the mountain side,
and the inhabitants removed their household
goods. Thousands camped in the fields
The ministers were summoned from Rome,
and are going to make provision for the
houseless people. The reports are that of a
number of persons whose curiosity led them
too near the volcano sixty were killed by a
shower of lava. The eruption proved an
irresistible attraction to large number OF
tourists and others, many of whom approach
ed the mountain when the first symptoms of
activity were apparent, and remained in dan
gerous proximity, not experimenting any in
crease in the violence of the eruption. Up
wards of a hundred persons are reported TO
have been burned to death by streams of
boiling lava bursting from the mountain and
overwhelming them before they could save
themselves by fight.
The extent of the calamity may probably
prove much greater when the facts are fully
ascertained from the city and bay of Naples
The spectacle of the volcano in action i.
grand and terribly impressive. The presen
eruption is the most violent for many years
and should it further. increase the conse
quences will be disastrous beyond conception
Towns at the base of the mountain, includin,
Tore del Greco and Tore del Annunsiata
are partially destroyed. Many building
were overthrow by rocks and stones ejecte,
from the volcano. White lava, scori@ an,
general debris fill Ithe streets. The iuhabi
tants have fed, and hundreds are homeless
Families are applying to the Neapolitan au
thorities for aid. The fatalities were con
fined exclusively to the residents of the vii
lagos on the side and base of the volcano
There is no abatement Of the force of erup'
ton. Lava continues to flow down the sides
Of the volcano, destroying everything In Its
path. The explosions are distinctly heard IN
Nipples. A panic prevails among the inhabi-
tants Of the country around the mountain;
Lhe lava has already reached Sebsstiano, ana
threatens other towns. The CONSERVATION
