The Tournament Of the Curryton Sa-

ago, is said to have been one of the bright
estand bravest affairs tits possiblet to im-
agine. A friend who was present, and
who is an admirable judge in such mat
ters, tells us that the riding was magni-
ticent, or, TO use his OWE words, "per-
sfectly Rf1tchlesS, absolutely unparallel-

ment, and even now weSSYe room but

An amusisg INCIDENT came under our
observation On Tuesday last in the Rao-
ical NominI,jng Convention. The Rev.
John NICK light, a very decent looking
vellow r,,-ii, was speaking in apeculiarly
o,eri,.sf. political-spreadcaSle STYLE and
rounded off a paragraph magniticently
with the announcement that on the NOR
ming of the Srd November every coiorea
man would "leave the side of his wl1e"
(?) before six O'Clock, hurry to the poiis'
vote for Chamberlain, nail naii in'o
Grecn's coffin, and mark upoh IL no
resurrection forever" At mis- point the
applause was great, but nigh above the
applause rose angry and violent cuss
words"-words accusing the speaker Oh
insult and threatening him with chas-
tening. The injured man was 1adison
Green. Madison is a bricklaye., and was
emanoipated by Abraham Lincoln from
the ownership of Judge Jno. Z. Bacon.
He hos failins-wine! He conceived
that he was the Green who was to be cot
line /, and ragged loudly. So much SO as
to seriously degrade for some minutes
the dignity of the meeting. Nor would
he be convinced or pacilied until poll
tic friend whispered magnetic WORD IN
his ear-whiskey! 1t was intensely iu-
dicrous.
