Gloucester Advertiser says Not long since,
on n perf.ctly calm day, with clear ST ~, about
fifty vessels were seen lying at anchor IN one OF
rnr harbors. on account of a coming storm pre-
diced by the weather bureau. How many
lives we're saved BY this single prediction it is
impossible to say, but one such occurrence
alone is sufficient to justify all the expense the
government has incurred in establishing and
maintaining the service 1t has been clearly
shown chat if we had had cable communication
with the Island of ST. Thomas, and signal
station there, we should have known of the

INTERESTING TO FARMERS. series OF ex-
periments, Instituted to test the average loss IN
weight by drying, shows that corn loses about
one. fifth, and wheat one-fourteenth by the pro
cess. From this, the statement is made, the
farmers will make more money by selling VA
shclled corn in the fall at seventy-fve cents
than the following summer at one dollar a
lushel and that wheat at 81. 30 in December
is equal to $l.50 for the same wheat IN the
June following. This estimate is made on the
basis of interest at seven per cent. aud takes

Len9 Island Democracy. Prote. t.

A Democratic voter at Ryerhead, Long ISLAM
writes an indignant letter to the New York
World, protesting against the sale and delivery
of his party to Mr.. Greeley. He says
Your manly and unyiedng opposition to the
endorsement of Horace Greeley by the Balti-
more Convention. meets with a warm response
in the hearts of Democrats everywhere. AL
though most unhappily, the likelihood Of that
endorsement is now 30 great az to leave small
30 great as to leave small hope for different
result, yet the unwisdom and disaster il not
disgrace, of such a fatal error remain just az
sure and as great as ever. hope you will 60 on
opposing this ruinous step until the end Rest
assured the Democratic masses are with you.
What do Democrats care for trading politicians,
or indeed for politics at all, except in 30 far
as by their votes they can promote the success
of principles to which they have becOme at
tached by the convictions of their reason
AMI Judgment Reliance on party ma
chinery is a Wretched substitute for that prompt,
earnest, vigorous support which springs from a
lively sense OF duty and true party obligation
Individual preferences and merely personal likes
or dislikes readily give way when nominations
have been fairly made within the legitimate
lines of party authority but when 30 fragrant an
outrage upon the conscience and manhood of
every honest Democrat as to ask his vote for
Horace Greeley Is committed by Convention
calling itself Democratic, the bands which held
our party together will snap like green withes
and leave us all free to act IN the coming cam
paign just as our separate sense of right may
dictate.
''If driven to the miserable choice between
two admitted evils some Of us will probably vote
for Greeley but more will refuse to vote at ALL
Politicians, whether sincerely OF opinion that
the projected alliance with Liberal Republi-
caus offers a surer chance for success than with
ont it, or dishonesty aspiring to leadership and
position in some new conservative" party which
they anticipate as about to be formed ont of the
Democratic organization, may be assured that
the Democratic masses will not follow them in
any programme We are not going to be deiv-
cred, even if we are sold. Horace Greeley will
never get the votes of one-half the Democrats
of this country. Fair warning has been given
to the delegates which are soon to meet at Bal
timore, aud if, as seems only too probable, they
reokessly disregard the evidence of their own
senses az well as the clear Indications of Demo-
cratic sentiment on their own heads be the res

Rcnuri.nI EIRure.

Life is like a fountain fed by thousand
streams that perish il one be dried. 1t is
silver cord twisted with thousand strings, that
parts asunder IL one is broken. Thoughtless
mortals are surrounded by innumerable dangers
which make it much more strange that they
escape so long, than that they almest all sud
denly die at last. We are encompassed with
accidents every day sufficient to crush the de-
caying tenements we inhabit. The seeds Of
disease are planted in our constitution by ma
ture. The earth and the atmosphere whence
we draw the breath of life are impregnated with
deaih health is made to operate its own de-
struction.
The food that nourishes contains the element
Of decay; the soul that animates it by vivifyng,
first tends to wear its own action; death turks in
ambush along the paths. Notwithstanding the
truth is so forcibly confirmed by the daily exam
pie before our eyes, how little do we lay it to
heart We see our friends and neighbors die;
but how seldom does it occur to our thoughts
t nat our knell may next give the warning to the
world,

"Gen Grant never has been defeated and he
never will be. ~ Horace Greeley.

'Gen. Grant never has been defeated, and he
never will be. Horace Greeley.
Henry A Wise OF Virginia, announces that he
cannot support the Greeley ticket, and il he II
lnd0rsed at Baltimore he sees no other course
| open than to support Grant and Wilson, and he
will take the stump for them.
That "old yirginny" old gentleman. known as
Extra Billy Smith,, in speech at Richmond,
the other day, said that to beat Grant he would
vote for "a dog or devil" The cheers of his
audience indicated sympathy of feeling.
Judge Hoadley Of Ohio, who attended the Gin
cinIIati Convention az Liberal Republican, and
was thoroughly acquainted with its character,
denounces 4 nominations as the result of a
corrupt alliance with Tammany and Frapk
Bair'
Information from a well informed source in
Georgia repre- sents great dissatisfaction with
of that State, and indicates that in case he is
accepted at Baltimore this element will general
ly refuse to vote.
A Western Democratic organ says; We appeal
to the delegates to Baltimore to study the cir
cumstances. ascertain the facts and make up
their determination accordingly. To our mind.
the Delegates from Kentucky are virtually IN
structed against Greeley, by the direction to a.
dopt that course which shall most likely concen-
trate the opposition to Grant. While there may
be 500 Greeley Republicans in the State. there
are probably 10000 Democrats who will not
vote for him
The Louisville Ledger, Demnc ratio, speaking
of Greeley says What are the Democracy to
gain by nominating himi Tn re is not neigh
borhood in the United States in which dozen
Democrats cannot be counted who announced
their purpose fixed to refuse TO vote for him
under any circumstances. As the now
stands, he will unqueztionably lose three, if not
five, democratic votes for each Republican who
will support him. II this is to be the case at
he election, and the Democratic Convention
shall nominate him. we hayo assured to us not
only defeat, but disgraee--a cowardy surrender
