lonely American, attended, to be sure, by q
small but reluctant escort in the hitherto
trackless wilds of Africa and among peo-
pie Of native tribes of unknown names. It is
wholly impossible not to admire the daring
and perseverance which the American dis
covery has crowned with triumph"
THE SUBJECT OF THE DAY FOR POET AND
PAINTER.
The London Ne,os adds, in conclusion:-
'Nothing more heroic has been carried out in
the history of modern adventure and it re-
quires only the talent and song of the poet to
render the scene which occurred when Stanley
obtained the first sight of Livingstone as i'm
pressive for futurity as is that which is told,
by pensmen and painters, of the Spaniards
when they obtained the first glimpse of the
Pacific Ocean from the peak of Darien.'

Power of the Country Press.
In referring to the meeting of the
State Editorial Association, the Phil
adelphia Press says: SIT is doubtful
If the country press is conscious of
the power it possesses, and of its
supremacy were it exercised. LO-
cal journalism is one of the features
of our time. In the last twenty
years there has been rapid decen-
tralization of the thought of the
country press. Not one or two
newspapers of universal circulation
now dictate the opinions of the peo.
pie and the policy of political per-
ties: the influence they once exerted
is split into thousand fragments,
and welded by as many hands
United and comprehensive action
on the part of those who control the
rural journals would revolutionize
the country, and solve every prob
lem, social and political, that now
distracts the. laHd. We are glad to
note the rapid growth Of these edi-
torial organizations, which promises
SO we'll for the whole people. Their
organized influence will carry every
thing before it,"

HOratian HumOrs.

The philosopher of Chappaqua has
the wretched habit of noticing and
denying charges made against him.
He does this generally in energetic
language, and employs certain often
sive monosyllables, instead ofround-
about euphemisms. If he keeps up
this habit in the coming canvass he
will be sure to make a display of
violence and passion not at all cred
liable to him. 1t won't do for a
Presidential candidate to call gray
haired men "villains" and sliars,"
or to 60 swearing around as a cer-
tain man did in the Constitutional
Convention. Horace must reform
these little habits, drop these idio-
syncracies, and be the meek and
quiet man his physical makeup
calls for. Let him daily recite the
verses of Watts, and remember for
what his little hands were made

An Unfortunate Liberal -
j. A. N,

There was a delegate to the Lib
eral Convention from Belmont,
Ohio, immured in the Hammond
street station-house night before
last. He had been stopping at the
Broadway hotel, and run up about
fifteen dollars or so, when the
management" suspecting that he
was not a very substantial citizen,
took the liberty of examining his
effects. On opening his valise-the
only piece of baggage he had-they
found it to contain four bricks and
an iron poker. When the gentle
man returned to the hotel, after a
long and significant conference with
George Hoadley, Stanley Matthews
and several other prominent Liber-
ais, he was politely but earnestly re-
quested to pay his bill. He frank>
~ acknowledged his inability to
discharge his Indebtedness, and was
led off to the watch-h Of
course no charge could be made
against him for his imposition on
the hotel, but he happened to have
a big pistol slung to him, and the
officers, to avert an apprehended
prosecution for false imprisonment,
locked him up on the charge of car
rying concealed weapon.
The gentleman was enthusiastic-
ally in favor of Greedy, but thorough
ly disgusted with politics. "If 1
had attended to my business, in
stead of gallivanting about the Con.
vention," said he, "I would have
had money to pay my bill, and got
out of town in as good shape as any,
body; but as it is, [ neglected every
thing to nominate Horace, and got
flattened out completely. I haven't
got enough coming to me from any
quarter to buy even a Greeley hat"

Something About Yourself.

Supposing your age to be fifteen
years, or thereabouts, 1 can figure
you up to a dot. You have 160
bones and 500 muscles; your blood
weighs IA pounds, your heart is five
inches in diameter; 1t beats 20 times
per minute, 4,200 times an hour,
100000 times per day, and 42,732,-
200 times per year. AT each beat a
little over two ounces of blood is
thrown out of it; and each day it re-
ceives and discharges about seven
tons of that wonderful fluid. Your
lungs will contain a gallon of air,
and inhale $4,000 gallons per day.
The aggregate surface of the cells of
your lungs, supposing them to be
spread out, exceeds 10000 square
inches. The weight of your brain
is three pounds, and when you are a
man it will weigh s ounces more.
Your nerves exceed 100000 in
number.
Your skin is composed of three
layers, and varies from one-fourth
to one-eighth of an inch in thick
ness. The area of your skin is
about 200 square inches, and you
are subjected to an atmospheric
pressure of fifteen pounds to the
square inch. Each square inch of
your skin contains $500 sweating
tubes, or perspiratory pores, each of
which may be hkened to a little
drain tile one-fourth of an inch long,
making an aggregate length over
the entire surface of your body of
2O1, ,166 feet, or tile ditch for drain
ing the body almost forty miles long.

A LEAP YEAR CALL,

I'm 4 sweet little duck, that be,
And want to get married, you see;
So I've taken this way for to say
That want young man right away.
Tn not particular, not nt all,
Whether he's handsome, long, short, or small,
For I'm bound to get married this year;
So I'm offered. Whose bid do / hear?

perhaps you think can spin-a good yarn,)
And the goods that offer for sale
Are quite able to tell their own tale.
There's my eyes: they are beautiful, blue,
And heart that is constant and true
An item worth having remembered,
Scarce found in the feminine gender.
My age it is thirty-thsre, I've told
But remember, don't feel Sc old.
And my looks would deceive, with paint;
Oh, dear bat I'm a sweet little saint.
Don't be bashful, but como right away,
And bid quickly, oh, quickly, prayl
For in blessed singleness I stayed
Till heard that dread title "old maid"
Now bid quickly, for tia my last chauceI
Come to my rescue, heroic gallsnts
Save from oblivion, save me, pray!
Come, take me, oh, take me away!

Up in Vermont (says the Hearth and
HONEY there lived reprobate family
named Ransom. Once, however, they
were induced to attend church during a
revival. They came late and had hard
ly taken their seats when the preacher
gave out the hymn, "Return ye ransom
sinners home!" "All rightr' said the
old man, getting up in a rage and clap
ping on his hat, "Come along, ole wom-
an and gals, We'll go home fast enough,
and everybody in this ole church knows
we didn't want to come!n

car to take some refreshments, and the
train started without him. "Stop,

Another Irish editor announces that
he will not print any more anonymous
