Eastern Politics.

,r,o ,,ol;tioal situation in the East, especially
:, Ohio is decidedly novel. There we find Inc
I1ou,oorats ON the old Wing and Republican pa
- money platform, while the Republicans are
r .ta Democratic hard money platform. The re-
u. = Ohio If is supposed, will have strong
influence upon the Presidential election ye' tno
Democrats in most of the States are denouncing
.bo nosition of the Ohio Democracy, ana contrib
ntino their influence to its defeat. senator MOI
-, ,l,o ,rtbor of the vetoed currency bill, and
:. ~ ,;ma almost PendeltOnian in his fnan-
ciaI views, is stumping the State in favor Of the
ponrhIican platform, which is opposed to the
cnrreney measure; and Senator Thurman, an op-
popent of the currency measure, is stumping in
favor of the Democratic ticket, which is running
upon greenback platform.
All the chances in Ohio have seemed to be in
favor of the Republican ticket being triumphant
ly elected, yet We hear expressions and see move
ments that contradict this appearance. The In
dianapolis Journal raises the alarm that the Re-
publicans of Ohio have no enthusiasm and are
not working with any heart, by which they are
risking the defeat of the ticket; and the Cincin-
cinnati Gasette copies the article without word
of denial or comment. 1t having been charged
that the Republican Congressional Committee
was assessing the ofice-holders to raise money to
sustain certain newspapers, a Republican paper
makes the statement, upon what it claims to be
official authority, that no money was appropria-
ted to any such purpose; that the only money
raised by assessment was some $4,000 or S6O, 900
to carry on the campaign in Ohio; that the as
sertion that the Republicans of that State were
able to pay the expenses of their own campaign
was untrue, and that they required outside help.
If correct, this is a bad showing for the Republ-
can party Of the third State in the Union. On
the other hand, a statement is published, to the
effect that the Democracy are about to withdraw
Gov Allen from the rrace his defeat is certain,
which would ruin his chances for the Presidency.
There is no doubt that the result of this Falls
elections will have great influence upon the Pres
idential election next year. If the Republicans
are beaten in Ohio, with the resumption plat
FORM it will force the party to abandon that doc
trine in the Presidential campaign, and will send
Grantism higher than kite But if the Repub-
licans are generally successful this FALL it will
place the party upon a good footing, leaving
their only difficulties the construction of salts
factory platform, and unloading Grant, to make
room for a new man.

GooD!-one of the best things of The season
occurred at Atchison, last week. The city has
had several choice scandals on hand, for several
weeks past. few days ago, one of the black
mailing scandal-mongers whom the Chicago
Times has scattered over the nntry, as cores
pondents, went into the Office of B. P. Waggener,
prominent lawyer, and showed him a communi-
cation which he had prepared for the Times, in
which Waggener was implicated in a scandal
informing him that he could prevent the publi-
cation by the payment of specified sum of mon
ey. Waggener requested time for consideration,
and at once went ont and got together few Of
his friends. They then hunted up the cOrresPon-
dent, and went for him, kicking pounding and
mauling him most numerically. He at once
left the city, and will not be likely to prospect
for blaek-mail there again. Only a few days
ago, a correspondent of the same paper was tar
red and feathered at Knoxville, Tennessee, for
publishing scandal. This is the way to fix
them. There is a nest Of the same sort of rep
tiles, with their den at Kansas City, who need
similar dose.

HUCKLEBERRIEs.-The huckleberry is begin
nIng to ripen in the Shandaken Mountains, and
the pickers climb the mountains and walk four
or hve miles often to fill their pals. In few
weeks the season will be further advanced, and
the principal mountain for this berry will be
swarmlng with people. High Point is to Olive
what the Shawangunk Mountain is to the people
IN the Wawarsing Valley. The yield of berries
Is enormous. Hundreds of bushels are brought
down daily during the height of the season, and
yet person can walk over the top of the noun
tam and hardly note any decrease. On the sum
NIT OF High Point there is q broad, rocky fiat,
ABOUT three-quarters of a mile long to One-half
mile wide. 1t is between three thousand and
Tour Thousand feet above tide water, and no trees
grow there except short scraggy pines and hem
locks The short bushes of the huckleberry grow
on the rocks wherever thimbleful of soil can
De found, and so thick are they in some places
they form kind of carpet. Each bush contains
numbers OF clusters of berries, that are scraped
of into the hand of the expert picker with aston
lshing quickness.-EiRqstoa Freeman

RAILROAD STRATEGY.-The railroads, within
the past several weeks, were engaged in a bitter
war, which resulted in cutting down the fare on
several of them to almost nothing, so that per-
sons in the West could almost make wages by
travelling east. These roads expressed their de-
termination to keep it up all Summer-they
would not make peace, not they. During the ex-
citement, everybody who could rake together
enough money started on trip Esat; when sud-
denly, few days ago, the war at once ceased,
and the old rates were resumed. 1t is said there
are over five hundred persons from Kansas alone
now in the East, who will have to pay full fare
in returning home. This was undoubtedly the
game that was put up in the start. People
should learn that it will not do to give Railroad
Companies any advantages over them.

TERRIFIC RAILROAD ACcIDENT.-On Tuesday
of last week, passenger train on the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern Railway went through
bridge, about twenty five miles from st. Joseph.
The cars fell into a ravine, distance of 25 feet,
completely wrecking the train. One man was
killed instantly, another has since died, and sew
eral others are not expected to survive. A large
number were wounded, some of them severely.
Among the wounded was Rev. J. G. Reaser, of
Highland, who had a shoulder broken, and was
bunged up generally. At last accounts, it was
feared that he was seriously injured internally.
The accident was caused by a rotten bridge.

SCRIBNER FOR SEPTEMBER.-The discussion of
the historical aspects of the German Death-Mask,
to which Scribner has already devoted an elabo-
rate illustrated article, July, 1s74), is supple
mented in the September number of this mag
azine by yirile and enthusiastic paper from the
artists standpoint, entitled "a Study of Shak-
speare's portraits" by William Page, who returns
from Darmstadt, whittier he went for the
press purpose of studying the Mask, with an ear
nest conviction of its authenticity, based upon
moral evidence. Accompanying this article are
two fine engraEings from Mr.: Pages photographs
of the Mask, and a schedule of its measurements,
the important ones (ten or twelve in number)
exactly coinciding with those in the Stratford
Bust which it is claimed was made from the
German Mask. The number opens with an ar
tice on "Chieago" by J. w. Sheahan, of the
"Tribune" of that city, embellshed with over
thirty engravings, among which are excellent
portraits of David Swing and Robert COllyer.
