S@. The leaders of the Radical
party, white and black, in Ra-
pides, are about this time in per.
feet stew. Divided, nearly broken
MP, full Of curses for each other, all
seeking Office, and even overrun
with new recruits, who have joined
just for office, we really can but
teel some pangs for their sad fix.
Most of them are for Grant, but
thev begin to hear Greeley thun-
der and want to 60 for him. Again
they hold State positions and dare
not say Grant, for fullwell they
know that Warmoth the friend OF
Greeley, will drop their heads in
his big basket. All this means
good-their dissolution is at hand,
their doom in Rapides, as a party
is fixed and sealed, and already we
can perceive the victorious strides
of a new and reform party, which
will make clean deal in our Par
ish. We are not oversanguine OF
excited in this matter, but in sober
earnest and predict a complete
revolution in Rapides and Lou.

Ep A great many of the dear people,
not a Thousand miles from alexandria,
have been very busy of late, for want
of other employment these dull times,
Of holding daily ,inquests on the Demo-
crat and hurting the thunder of their
Vatican on our devoted Uranium and
all simply because, like them we are
not willing to go off half-cocked and
start before the tap of the drum. Dear
kind souls if they will only keep cool,
save their ammunition, not rend their
valuable undergarments, they will
find that when the bugle blast is sound
ed, the flags unfurled and the battle
cry raised and good work needed,
without gas, that the Democrat, as ever
and as of old, will be found in the
thickest of the fight striking for the
right and victory. The record of the
Democrat speaks for itself and in due
time it's clarion notes will be heard
and it's plume, like that of Navarro
will wave only on the field of victory

SALES PER DAY AT Stewards
Speaking of his adaptability for bust
ness, the great merchant prince said
that for many years he had the utmost
distaste for business, so mnch SO that
he disliked the task even of purchasing
articles for his own personal use; that
he hated to go and buy pair of gloves.
That Mr.. Stewart has managed to
overcome this repugnance to trade was
exhibited in the statement, in reply to
question, that he now employed
twenty-five hundred persons, h d
crossed the ocean thirty five times,
and had sold upward of $4,000 worth
of goods at retail in one day. Dir.
Stewart stated that his ambition was
to make the sales at his up town store
reach 100000 per day. He keeps
busy about five hundred porters, and
/ has delivered from his retail store as
many as five thousand packages in one
day. At this establishedment he has
eleven hundred employees. Mr.. Stew
art appears to carry the responsibility
of his enormous business with perfect
ease, comprehending much of it's vast
details and minutia in most remarka-
BILE manner. He is hearty, well
preserved man of about" seventy years,
and looks as though he might enjoy
the blessings of life for a good many
seasons yet to come.-[saratogian.

You and I have worked too long to.

your paper of the 10Th of June, in
which, under the caption "The Situa-
tion," you use the following words :
"But Colonel Williamson must know
that he made grave mistake when he
attempted to carry Democrats and Re-
formers over to Grant" Had / antici-
pated such perfdy you know me we'll
enough to believe l should have made
no concealment of it. Had / been
silly enough to entertain such a thought
for a moment you know / have COM

as wholly impracticable. Had / been

unpatriotic design you know l should

scented any of our principles, we should
avail ourselves of the opportunity of

field, for whom we could vote, to turn
aside from Federal to State politics.
3. Because l said and believed it was

Of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
