TINE great Democratic Victories Of New York,
1Ohio, Maryland and Virginia, the startling Re-
publican defeats IN Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and
Illinois foreshadow the election of Democratic
President in 1876.
The secret Of the triumph already won has
been steadfast adherence to the organization, un-
h~inching fidelity TO the principles Of the Demo
cratic party THE WoEID has been faithful to its
trust. When faiet hearts talked Of a spoiled
party, n dead party, a new party, it bore aloft the
flag OF the historic, indornitable Democratic par
ty. That flag, inscribed with the legends Free
Trade and Farmers Rights, Hard Money and no
MOnopolies,-the Democrats of Ohio and New
York carried to a glorious victory, subverting
Grant majOrlties of 81 600 and $1,000.
A new career now opens before the Democracy
more glorious and more bene6cent than its
past career, identified though that be with the
founding of the republic, its expansion across
the continent ITS half century Of prosperity and
The open secret Of its future, as Of its past and
present triumphs, Is still a steadfast adherence
u the organization, an unfinching fidelity TO the
principles of the Democratic party-principles
never so needful as now to be applied through
out our National, State and Municipal ife,t 10 heal
the wounds and Generalization OF war, to stop
corrupt and prohigate expenditure, TO limit and
lOcalize powers entrusted TO the peoples serV-
ants, to hberate our industries from the letters
Of a b1rbarous Tariff, our trade from the huctua-
tions of an irredeemahle paper Currency, and
our agriculture from the double plundering OF
both, as well as to repair the widespread Imam
ciRl Ruin wrought by the Fiscal po!icS Of tbs
Republican party.
of the democratic hosts to victory, is the dis.
semination of political truth. Our work will be
fruitful in proportion as THE WORLD IS widely
read.
We ask Democrats everywhere to aid US in
scattering the good seed broadcast over the
whole land during the period so important to the
coming hRrve5ts.
Where or how can any Democrat work so eff.
GENTLY for the diffusion of the principles of his
party, and their triumph at the ball0t-box in IA
and &c, as by procuring new readers Tor The
World, now
As a vehicle of news, The WoRLD will spare ne
expense, no energy, to maintain and advance its
place in Inc frat rank of METROPOLITAN journals.

THE conviction of James II. Ingerson
the "Ring" chairmaker, and his clerk
Harrington, of forgery in the third degree,
is a prompt following up of the doom of

the best policy seems in a fair way to take,
a new lease of life in New York.

and among other things mentioned the
ducks which had been emily q moment be-
fore served up for the Irish gentleman's
dinner.
Irish jontlemon?" gibbingly exclaim-
ed one of the group. "rll lay fifty to
five that he don't know B from a bulls
foot. Here, waiter; take my watch up
to the jontlemon, presenting my compli-
ments, and request him to tell me what
O'Clock it is"
The General heard the message, took
the watch, and with great temper re-
turned his respects, with the assurance
that as soon as he had dined he would en-
deavor to satisfy their inquiry.
The testers chuckled at the embarrass-
ment which they imagined the ignorant
Irishman was led into: sat down to regale
themselves on whatever they could get;
but their jollity was presently disturbed
by the entrance of military figure, who,
with that politeness which is the peculiar
characteristic of the army, advanced to-
presented the watch.
Gentlemen" said he, 81 wish to know
its owner, as, from a message sent to me
little while ago, l presume he is short
sighted, and have brought him a pair OF
spectacles," pointing to pair of pistols
under his arm, Ito remedy the defect"
The joke was gOne-the testers were
silent. The General deliberately put the
watch in his fob, with declaration that
secured it to him forever.
"Gentlemen, I am sorry for intruding,
as find the owner is not among you;
whenever he claims 1t he shall have 1t;
but never without q trial of the specta-
cles."

Death from Smoking:

THE New York correspondent of the
uffalO Commercial Adcertiser writes: "a
case in my own intimate acquaintance
has this very week appalled, large circle
of friends in this city. The victim was
exactly of my own years, and compan-
ion from early boyhood. For thirty years
at least he has been daily smoker of the
choicest cigars, but in all his other habits
temperate and regular, and of excellent
constitution-One who, of all men, would
have laughed at the suggestion that to-
bacco was killing him. A week ago last
Sunday night he was stricken with the
progressive paralysis characteristic of
nicotine. and on Sunday night he died.
His death was most pitiful. First, sight
was lost, then speech, then motion of the
neck, then motion of the arms, and so on
throughout the body, and he lay for a
fortnight unable to move or make sign,
save a pitiful, tongueless, inarticulate
sound, which sometimes rose to almost
frantic effort, all in vain, to make known
what he wished to say to his family or
friends-for his consciousness and mental
faculties were left unimpaired till within
two hours of the last, to aggravate to the
uttermost the horror of his situation-a
living soul in dead body. The sense OF
hearing was left unimpaired, SO ttat he
was conscious of all around him, while as
incapable of communication with them as
if dead, save by slight sign of assent or
dissent to question. The doctors were
fully agreed that tobacco was the sole
cause of this stroke.

How TO constructs cheap stump puller,
and what can be done with it, is thus
told by a correspondent of the Ollie
Farmer:
Have a chain made of the best round
charcoal iron, at least one inch and one
fourth in diameter and eight feet long.
with ring on end two inches and half
in diameter; one side of these rings must
be formed like link. Attach one ring
to a band of iron two and half inches
broad. one inch thick and one foot in
diameter, with small offset for the ring
to lodge in. The band should be beveled
on the inside edge, to make it slip on the
pole readily, and prevent cuttingit. Cut
nice straight hickory, white oak or
locust lever, one foot in diameter at the
butt, and twenty five feet long. Take of
the bark and Jumps smoothly, put on the
band let it come within two feet of the
large end, at which point put in two small
pins of iron, to prevent il going any
further. Within four inches Of the
small end, put on common OK yoke
| cIevis. with a ring in to pull by. Hitch
on two yoke of oxen. Drive on the right
of the stump until the band pas rs the
! stump few inches. Pass the chnin
| round the stump, ON the teit SIDE, and
draw it tight, with no twist IN the chain.
| A little above the lever drive in com
mon wedge, and put the ring on tho
wedge. Then gee round IN a circle, until
the stump is twisted out.
This machine viii take out about halt
the dead stumps, in a field of long stand
! ing, without cutting the brace roots. Com
| mon sized green sfUmps can be taken on
also by cutting the brace roots first, ant
digging little. After everything i
ready, with thc team and two hands J ca
takeup one hundred or more stump
per day, as it is no draft at 81
on the cattle, except the labor o
pulling the lever from stump to stump.
