DEMOCRACY AND THE RESULT IN
NEW HAMPSHIRE.

The Chicago Times, the leader
OF the Western Democracy, saws in
reference to the result in New Hamp-
shire: The defeat is abundantly
compensated by the moral which it
affords. This moral is embodied in
the obvious deduction that the Dem
ocratic party alone stands no shad.
ow of chance to prevent the rec
lection of Grant. The most hope
lessly pig-headed Bourbon in the
party must now recognize the fact
that the Democratic candidate for
President could not carry more than
one-third Of the electoral vote.

passed, and no word came when
"a report was circulated by one
Shipman, postmaster at Freeport,
that Morrison was married. Miss
Moshier unwillingly believed this,
when Shipman, assiduonsly court
ed her to become his wife. Bit
terly wounded by The supposed
desertiontof her former lover, she
consented, and Shipman marrying
her, removed with her to Kansas
City. All went we'll for time,
when the husband confessed to
his wife that he had intercepted
and destroyed the letters ofaMor
irisOn, who had written often as he
had promised to do. Instead of
forgiving him, the wife upbraided
him for his treachery, and led'
him such life, that he deserted
her, after which in due time, she
obtained a divorce. She still re-
mainei in Kansas. City, however,
earning her livelihood as best she
could. Meanwhile, Morrison,
hearing notbingfrom his betrothed,
grew restless, but still worked on
until the news of her marriage
reached him, when he at once
started homeward to learn the
truth. On his way he determined
to stop at Kansas City, where, al.
most the first person he met was
his long lost love. Explanations
followed; and she being free, q
speedy marriage took place in
Kansas City, last Monday. Mr..
Morrison, the husband, is the edi-
tor of paper at Albion, Michigan.

AN AsTONIsHED MINISTER.
lin a small city not far dis
tant from the "IIub," resides a
dentist named Brown. He re-
-ceived an order from his be.
loved minister for set of false
teeth. The work, was executed
promptly, and the shepherd of
of his flock called in at the ap.
pointed time toreceive them.-
Brown fixed them in the rever-
end customers mouth, when
the latter stepped to the glass
to see the effect, muttering slow
ly and distinctly
- 'Jcsus Christi Jesus Christi"
i Now, Brown who is more no.
tedlfor his quiekness of temper
and profanity than for his piety,
hearing his customer speak in
such a manner, his ire was a.
reused.
"Blast i'll" be exclaimed, eff
you don't like the teeth you
needn't take them, hut there is
no necessity for your swearing
so about it." srs-tg le-s
The astonished minister drew

A California Obituary.

r Boddlepopster is dead! The
bare announcement will plunge
the city into unspeakable gloom.
The death Of BoddIepopster was
most untimely;fhe should have
died twenty years ago. Prob
ABLY no man Of his day exert

society as the deceased. Ever
foremost in every good work out

IlBoddlePepster was a model of
generosity, and weighed, at the

and ninety odd pounds. -Origi-

possessing cosmopolitan ma
tture thatloveda 7 York shilling as
well in, proportion to it's value,
as a Mexican dollar, the subject
of, our memoir was one wllomit
was an honor to know, and
lwhose close friendship was a
luxury that only the aff1uent
could afford. 1t shall ever be
the. writer's oproudest boast that
he enjoyed it at less than half
the usual, rates, Mr.. B. was
the founder of the famous Bod
dlepopsteF Institute, and for
.manyeyearsipreceding his death
suffered. severely from a soft
corn, which has probably done
as much for agriculture as any
similar concern on the foot
hills Of our State. In 1868 he
was elected an honorary member
of thessociety for the preven-
Itioni of humanity to Mongoli-
ans, and but for the loss Of an
eye in carrying out its prinei-
pies, would, have been fone Of
the. .handsomest, whites that ev-
or resided among us. There is
little doubt that he might have
aspired to any Office in the gift
of the people, SO universal was
the esteem in which he was held
by those he voted for. In an
evil moment he was induced to
associate himself in business
with the Rev. Albert Williams,
and though he speedily with
dreWfrom the firm, he was never
able to wholly eradicate the
disgrace from the constitution,
and it, finally carried him to the
grave. His last words as he
snuffed out. were characteristic
of Nthe man. he remarked =
"Fetch me that damn catnip
tea" The catnip consolation
arrived too late to be of any
use; he had gone to the devil.
Farewell, noble heart-pure
soul-bright intellect! We
shall meet again.

Old Leather.

liaWhat becomes OF all the old
leather? We know that the
scraps and trimmings that fall
from the shoemaker's bench are
collected and sold, and that these
finally reach manufacturers of
leather board, which in cheap
shoes, is used to give thickness to
a sole which has but little real
leather in it. But what becomes
of wern.out boots and shoes, and
all other articles made of leather
which has been cast aside as of
no further use? 1t was in pur-
suit of this inquiry that we learn
ed that our worn.out hose and
betting are cut up into soles for
boots, and that the "uppers'
of, boots and shoes whereof the
soles have become demoralized are
carefully separated, subject to va
rious processes, which make them
take on the resemblance of new
ness, and then trimmed round,
leaving them sufficiently large to
make the ':uppers' for smaller
feet than they covered before.
Thousands of such "uppers" are
marketed annually, and it is not
safe for those who buy their boots
without regard to the standing of
! dealers, to assume that their un
standings are new throughout.

doubt that a wholesale and
shameful fraud was perpetlated
in this county'to the extent of
nearly 1,O00xotes. In this
county theS registpy book was
said to belost. There are 9TH

of frauds that were-perpetrated
throughout the State. Thereis
not a doubt that MERRIMoN and
the whole Democratic State
ticket were elected, and that
upon a contest before the Leg
islature, such will be declared
the result. The frauds censis-
ted in the registry Of illegal
votes, and in false counting ,af-
ter they were in the box. For
this purpose the returns fayofa-
bic to the GIANT ticket were so
strangely held back. "
