kPOlIte English Greeting TO American
Travellers.

We English are far too apt to think
over our own way wisdom, and to
look with scorn upon tue dOings OF
our neighbOrs, and more especially
upon the doing of our own kinsfOlk in
America. All ways of speaking and
acting which strike us as being spec
iaIiy vulgar or disagreeable we at
once deEounce as Americanisms,
thereby showing thevery low estimate
in which we hold our transatlantic
cousins. This estimate, be it false or
be it true, il is in most cases the result
OF personal observation of the swarms
of Yankee tourists who, year after
year, by their very presence, take the
bloom off oar summer holiday. They
crowd in upon US in railway carriages;
they empty our favorite dishes at td-
Dles d'hOte, pouring into our ears the
while bitter complaints of the worth
lessness of ali they get when compared
with the comforts which they have at
home, where we devoutly wish they
had staid to enjoy them. OF course it
may be said that in this way we see
only unfGvorably specimens OF the
race, and that to judge of any nation
with anything ike justice one must
90 to their country and study them
there. Now steam has practically
shortened the distance between Liver
pool and New York into something
not much longer than journey from
London to Edinburgh used to be in our
grandfathers' days, a tour through
the States has become very little more
difficult than a tour on the Continent.
Still very few of US take advantage OF
this great facility of intercourse. We
shrink from piunging in among a
whole nation of people vino speak our
own language through their noses,
and wi call us men and women, and
our servants gentlemen and ladies.
We dread having no nOurishment set
before US but meat pies and chicken
fixings, and perhaFsseeing unwhole-
some meats gobbled up before we can
get our modest share. The current
British opinion of the manners and
customs of the dwellers In the States
might almost be summed up in the
words of the skipper who went to in
vestigate the social economy OF GER
tain savages, and sent home as the re-
suit of his voyage the brief report
mo manners, customs beastly.p

The trials of Lamison in the 5th
District are numerous. He recently
attended Judicial Convention and
that baek-pay grab of his confronted
him. 1t was like this: The commit
tee on resolutions reported as follows !:
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the present corrupt administration,
and cordially invite all patriotic men,
without regard to past party attach
mept or party names, to join us in
our struggle for its overthrow.
The report did not suit Sawyer, OF
Auglaize, who is anxious to get Lami-
son out of his way politically, and he
moved this amendment to the resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That the act, commonly
known as the congressional salary
steal, is an infamous act of fraud, and
those who supported it are unworthy
the Endorsement of Democratic Con-
ventiOn.
Col. Sawyer advocated the amend
ment in a bitter speech, directed es-
pecially to the Hon. G. N. Lamison,
member of Congress from that Dis
trict, who voted "aye" on the salary
question, and was also present in the
Convention. The amendment to the
report was carried with a unanimous
vote, not giving Lamison a chance to
defend himself, Finally, the recre-
ant Democratic member got the floor
and proceeded to talk. A Gazette
correspondent gives the report as fol-
lows:
LamisOn declared he had no apollo
gy to make to any one for his vote. Il
was an honest expression of his opin-
ion that the salary was due him; that
Congress had ample authority by con-
stitutiOnal provision to say what they
shall receive, etc.; that in view of the
expensive surroundings of Washing
ton, Representative could not MAIN
tain the standing and dignity due his
station with a less amount than the
increased salary. He asked favcrs OF
no one.
The excitement now became in
tense. Amid cries of "Get down, .
resign" etc, LamisOn replied: IRE
sign, be id; I'll see you in hi
first"

forty OF those who felt that without

Among the funny things some Of the

The correspondence between the
Postohice Department and Great Brit
ain, with view to establish an ex,
change OF postal cards at low rate ol
postage, has closed. The British au,
taorities declined the proposition on
the ground that they are opposed to
any lower rate of postage than that
now paid on letters. The proposition
Of the United States was to have an
exchange Of postal cards by the addi-
ton Of one cent postage, the same as

fHE EARTHQUAKE IN ITALY.
The Extraordinary COnVnlsIOn In Te-
nIfia-DepIOrahle Loss OF Life.

The earthquake which shook the
whole Of the Venitian territory last
Sunday morning at o'clock, was felt
from Bologne to Beluno, and from
Trieste to Milan. Its direction, was
from east southwest to west north
west, and it lasted for forty-four sec
onds. At Belluno, a town of about
200 Inhabitants, the inhabitants
were awakened by rumbling sound
followed by most curious noise, re-
sembling something between a whis-
tie and q groan, and then ayiolent up
heaving of the ground. The quiett
of the sleeping town was changed
in q twinkling to a scene of wild con-
fusion; one heard the falling of chim-
neys and walls, the ringing of bells
and the shrieks of terrified and fren-
Zied people. In another moment the
streets were filled with half dressed
men, women and children, pale and
frightened. The first mass was being
celebrated at the Duomo the moment
of the shock. The worshipers all es-
capped safely, but the cupola of the
church was thrown down, and the
wall was cracked. Part of the bell
tower of another fell, third church
was SO badly damaged that it will be
necessary to rebuild it. Nearly every
building in the town has been injured,
and some wholly demolished, and
there were only four persons killed.
At the moment of the shock the sky
was overcast by a leaden-colored
cloud, and Immediately afterward
the air was filled with strange dust
or powder, and was hot and scorching.
The effects of the earthquake at the
village OF st. Pietro de Felette were
terrible. 1t was the fete of st. Peter,
the patron saint of the place. The in
hsbitants were all up betimes, to take
part in the early morning n1ass-the
church was gaily decorated for the oc-.
casion, and was crowded with wor-
shippers, for it was plessd cdltdtd-
when without moments warning,
the undulation swept beneath the vii
lage, and down came the roof and
walls of the church, burying its living
contents. Those nearest the door
were able to make their escape; but Of
the remainder thirty-eight were kill
ed on the spot, eighteen men and
twenty women, and a great number,
not yet ascertained, seriously hurt.
The priest who was officiating at the
altar had bis. arm broken, but two
others VINO were assisting escaped.
The entire village was one of fallen
and falling houses.

rnE FALL CAMPAIGN.

A Columbus correspondent Of ;the
Gazette gives the following account OF
a meeting of the State Central Com
mittee, which was held on the 28d
instant:
The Republican State Central Com
mittee met to-day at their new and
commodious rooms in the NaughtOn
Building on High street, just opposite
their old quarters.
The following members were pres
ent: A. G. Sands and Michael Crotty,
of Cincinnati; James Pursell, Of
Washington G. H; John Deyor, of
Greenville, p. B. Johnson, of Lima;
r. McCune, of Toledo; VIM. II. Phil
lips, Of Kenton, representing J. s.
Robinson; J. B. Rothchild, OF Find
lay; Joseph Bruff, of Damasc0ville;
Albert Munsen, of River Styx, Me-
dina County, and T. B. Pond, repre-
senting d. c. Pinkerton.
Besides the above there were pres
ent the members Of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee, the Republican
candidates for State officers, and rep
resentatives of several leading Repub-
lican journals.
After q full and free discussion a
satisfactory and effective plan of Sc
curing the necessary means for the
campaign was adopted.
The 23d of August was selected rs
the time, and Athens, Athenscounty,
the place for the opening of the cam
paign. with Governor Morton, of In
diana, and Governor Noyes, of Ohio,
the speakers. It is likely that various
other meetings will be held in differ
ent parts of the State on the same
day.
The meeting was of most satisfac-
tory and cheering character and there
was a general expression of sentiment
that the principles and record of the
great Republican party are dear as
ever to the people of Ohio, and that
they will, in October next, as hereto
fore, rally to their endorsement at the
polls.
Judging from the spirit manifested
by the Committee, 1 should say that
the Republicans are not going to
make nlittle fightp this fall but will
charge the oldsenemy, no matter what
shape he may assume, with all the en-
ergy and vigor of past campaigns.
