POLITICAL ITEMS.

The third term project has a funny eff
feet upon Republican candidates for Of
flee. They all ridicule it, yet feel i'm
pressed with the necessity of saying in a
public way that they are not in favor of
it. There never was a joke that produced
such CONSERVATION before.
The Cincinnati Commercial deems this a
good time to trot outfits old hobby with a
new tail: "Now that the tickets are be-
ing made up how would it do to put
Minister Washburne up for President,
with Speaker Blaine for Vice President.
That would make tolerably strong team
to pull the Republican go-cart out of the
bog into which it seems to have been
driven by the present Administration"
Here is about the meanest specimen of
an Administration lie which has found
its way into print lately, The unre-
concied rebels ran up their old Confed-
crate flags down South when they heard
from Ohio. That's the way it works"
1t appears in The Bangor Wing and
Courier, a journal which is making the
most frantic efforts to convince the Re-
publicans in the Legislature that their
highest act of patriotism will be to allow
themselves to be driven into party
caucus and there pledged to vote for Sem
ator Hamlin's reelection" IN Y. TFib-
une.
Alexander IL. Stephens'sspeech in favor
of third term is not so highly praised at
his home as it is by the thick-and-thin
organs in the North. The atlanta Herald
says of it: No matter where Alexan-
der Stephens speaks, nor when, whether
on the stump or in private, there comes
to the public that inevitable apology for
and defense of President Grant. The
people are becoming quite tired of this.
Grant is an enemy to the people of the
South. He is a willing and vicious tool
of the dominant party. If there is one
trace of tolerance or pity in the whole
course of his reconstruction policy we do
not recall it. A uniform brutality has
characterized its action from the begin
ming to the end And the people of the
South, especially the people of the With
District, are filled with a just resentment
and an unconquerable aversion of this ty-
rant and his Administration"

NEW YORK,
THE WOOL TRADE.


New York, October "a.
A meeting of persons engaged in the
wool trade, members Of the Chamber of
Commerce and others, will be held on
Monday, to consider what simpliiication
in the classification of wools,an what al
teration in the mode of the collection of
duties, shall be asked of Government at
the next session of Congress. A similar
movement is taking place in other cities.
A hearing of the joint committees of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more is promised before Congress meets.
THE TILToN-BREcHER SUIT.
There was a long argument to-day in
the City Court of Brooklyn, upon the
motion of counsel of Henry Ward Beech
er to compel Tilton to furnish bill of
particulars in the suit against Beecher.
Counsel read an affidavit from MIR. Beech
er, setting forth that the plaintiff specifies
but not one date on which any act of inn
proper conduct on his part is alleged to
have occurred. Tilton ayers that Mrs.
Tilton and Beecher confessed their guilt
at different times. This BeeGher positive
ly denies, and charaCterizes the state
ments as utterly false. and fears that Til
ton contemplates the manufacture of evil
dence at the coming trial, and therefore
requires to know what testimony he may
expect to refute. The Court took the

The Career OF Fast Young HAN II san
FranchscO

Information has been received
through the telegraph Of the arrest
of John H. F. Hannah in Jersey
City on Friday. He is about 25
years Of age and recently occupied
responsible position in the house Of
Messrs. Goodall, Nelson & Perkins,
the well-known shipping agents Of
this city. About ten years ago young
Hannah applied for employment at
the office and was given situation
as clerk. In a short time he was
promoted TO the more lucrative and
responsible position of freight col
lector. In accordance with a regu-
lation of the firm he was compelled
to report daily to the cashier. After
he had been working in his new ca
pacity for few months, at his own
solicitation he was furnished with d
setof books, aud was required to re-
port but once o month to the cashier.
He gave his employers satisfaction
and was fast achieving an enviable
reputation as an Industrious and hon
orable young man. Unfortunately
for his future prospects, however, he
formed an attachment for courtesan
named Lille Wesner, who resided
on Sacramento street, near Dupont,
and to the astonishment of his
friends and the extreme sorrow Of
his venerable mother, with whom he
resided on Folsom street, he married
the cyprian. The disgraceful TACT
was made known to his employers,
but with the hope that the marriage
would result happily, he was con
tinued in his position. About a
month ago, Hannah, accompanied
by his wife, absconded, and it was
developed in an investigation by his
employers that his cash accounts
were deficient in the sum Of "a, 900.
The pair were tracked to Jersey City
IN. j. J where they took up . resi-
dence with his brother-in-law. When
the oiiieers entered the room in quest
Of the fugitive, he attempted some
little resistance with q pistol, but
was disarmed. A chain, with look
ct studded with diamonds, a hand
some gold watch, q valuable pearl
pocketbook and other goods, togeth-
or with 5000 in money, were recov-
cred. Hannah is nephew Of Chas.
Devlin, tho %ell-kndwn street CON
tractor Of New York. A requisition
will be sent with Detective Stone TO
New Jersey and the young man will
soon be returned to this city.-S. r.

GUIDED RAos.-A late case Of gilded
rags turned up in New Orleans.--
Some people asked o physician to
call upon o neighbor Of theirs who
was sick. The doctor visited the
hovel and found an aged 'man
stretched out In q wooden bunk upon
q moss bed, The man was very III,
and appeared to be wretchedly poor.
He did not want a physician, because
he could not afford to pay for such
attendance. The doctor took his
case in hand, as a charity, and pre-
scribed some medicine, which he
went to the druggist and got himself.
It was seventy-fve cents, and the
old man said he could not afford to
pay more than o quarter for such q
little bottle Of stuff. He reached
down among the moss for his wallet,
produced twenty-five cents and hand
ed it to the doctor. When another
supply Of the same medicine was
wanted, he refused to pay more than
twenty cents, on the ground that the
old bottle would do, and Was worth
five cents. The man was too stingy
to hold on to the little there was left
Of life. His last act was to refuse TO
buy lemons and sugar, whom the
doctor recommended lemonade for
drink. He had some old bottles Of
claret on a shelf over his bunk said
that would do, drank some Of it, and
It produced apoplexy. The doctor
found his patient dead ono morning,
and, turning him over, found his
wallet. II contained $50 in crisp
grcenbacks and some small change.
In his trunk were found 81 200 in
currency, and som6 gold and various
deeds. Investigation revealed that
the old man was in receipt Of be-
tween $500 and 5000 per moptE
from various sources. He had SO, ,00(
in gold and $25 900 in notes, deeds
ETC., in his bowel. His name wal
Ambrose ScEooler, and he was 1
native Of Alsace, and was about &C
years old. Inquiries have been in
stituted for heirs There is a nice
little sum for somebody in New Or
leans II they arc noL ashamed TO &C
knowledge the old miser for a rela
ton. He must have had relatiyei
for whom he had hoarded money, ~
he refused to use it for himself, evoi

A RomANon in REAL LIFE.

A short time ago young man
about twenty years Of age arrived in
Baltimore from England, and com.
menced to look for work at his trade,
After several days fruitless search, the
Gazette says, he entered large facto.
ry on Lombard street and enquired
for work Of the superintendent. The
latter questioned him, asking him his
name aud where he was from, and
other particulars about bis family,
He told the superintendent that bis
mother resided in England aud had
reared him, bis father having qnartel-
cd with her when he was an infant
aud had abandoned them, and il was
supposed that he had come 70 Ameri-
ca, but no tIdings had been received
from him, When the young man bad
concluded, the superintendent, who
for many years has been employed by
the firm with whom be Is at present
engaged, said to the astonished youth
~ am your father" They discussed
family matters " lepgth, and the
father hearing from his son that BIZ
mother had meyer ceased 10 mourn
their unfortunate differences and biz
absence, determined to proceed Al

rU1Fn4LMnNT OF 4 PREsBNTIMENT.

A correspondent vouches for the
accuracy 81 the following: eat, the
beginning of last week q quarrymap
named John Coombs, was killed in
simultaneously, and his assistant seri-
ously injured by the fall Of huge
mass Of rock in quarry near Mells,
Frome, England. DIR. Wybrants
has since held an inquest on the body
Of OOombs, and verdict Of "Acci-
dental death" was returned. One of
the witnesses was Mr.. William
Chambers, foreman Of extensive
building works now 10 the course Of
erection. near the quarry. Chambers
states that on Sunday night he had
an extraordinary dream; he dreamt
that the whole Of the buildings al
luded to had fallen and killed one Of
the worltmen. The following morn
ing he was so impressed with the be-
| lief that his dream would come tyue,
that on arriving at the works, and
finding them still standing, he related
his dream to the men, one Of whom
replied that he had stranger dream
still, having dreamt that the over
hanging rock in the quarry close by
had fallen, killing the quarrymen.
Uneasy by reason Of such strange
dreams, both men agreed to proceed
to tho quarry, where they told the de-
ceased Coombs their story. Coombs,
| in his turn, said he had for some
time past had a presentiment OF dan
per, and TO such an extent that he
| had determined TO relinquish work
| ing in the quarry, and added that
| his wife had the greatest difficulty in
persuading him to come to his work
| that morning for the reason he had
stated. ALI three men then carefully
sounded and otherwise minutely ex-
amined the oyerhanging rock, but
could find no crack in it, and Cham
bers and his man then quilted the
quarry, leaving deceased and his
assiatant there. They had proceeded
only about forty yards, however
when they heard a terrific crash, and
on Fastening to the spot found
Coombs under tho fallen rock I
corpse. II has since been ascertain
ed from the neighbors themselye
, that the deceased had mentioned hi
. apprehensions some days before thI
! accident, and from the lips Of hi
! widow that his statement in regart

LOCOMOTIVES CApRIcEs. ---It is per-
fectly we'll known to experienced en-
gineers that if O dozen different To-
comotive engines were made at the
same time, Of the same power, for
the same purpose, OF like materials,
in the same factory, each Of these
locomotive engines would come out
with its own peculiar whims, and
ways, only ascertainable by expert
ence. One engine will take great
meal Of coal and water at once; an
other will not hear to such o thing,
but insists on being coaxed by spade-s
fuls. One is disposed to start of,
when required, at the top Of his
speed; another must have d little
time to warm at his work and to get
we'll into il. These peculiarities are
SO accurately mastered by skillful
drivers that only particular men can
persuade engines TO do their best
II swould seem as il some of these
"excellent monsters" declared, upon
beign brought from the stable, "If
Its Smith who ID to drive, won't 60;
II it's my friend Stokes, am agree
able to anything" All locomotive
engines ore low spirited in damp and
foggy weather, They have great
satisfaction in their work when tho
air is crisp and frosty. At such o
time they arc very cheerful and
brisk, but they strongly object to
haze and mists. These are points
Of character on which they are united.
II is in their peculiarities and varie-
ties OF character that they are most
remarkable.

Before the train had gone far, the oc-

Of a mans voices "You are not

and a passenger said, 1T is little

The man was dragged from his com
partmeHt, and the ladies sprang tor

A CENTENNIAL CENSUS.


A movement was made we believe,
at the last session Of Congress for q
special census of the Union, 20 be
taken in 1875, with view Of show
ing what we have done in the way Of
physical and moral progress since the
first blow for independence was struck
at Lexington, in April, 1875, when
"the embattled farmers stood and
fired the shot that echoed round The
world.n We hope this census matter
will be taken up early in the coming
session. and that care will be used to
provide Tor the most minute, complete
and accurate compilation Of statistics
ever yet made 10 census in this or
any country. Statesmen, law makers,
philanthropists, philosophers aud sci
entists agree upon the immense i'm.
portance Of such statistical infotma-
tion. To legislate for and properly
