THE party that last year had a pro
hibition plank in its platform is trying
to prove that man should not receive
the votes of the people because lie
don't drink whisky. Gen. Cary regu-
Iates his habits to suit himself and be-
lieves that every other citizen has a
right to do the same, without any
law to make it crime to drink any
thing else than cold water He be-
lieves in the right of every man to reg
ulate his own tastes and habits.

General Cary with the people because
he was once a Republican. That is

SONS always thought that much, very
much, of his success was owing to the
superior opportunities that were given
him. 20
Finally, a rank and title never be-
fore conferred in the country were
created especially for him. He was
made the General OF the United States
army. Then he was nominated for
President of the United States and
elected. Next he was reelected.
Elected and reelected to what? To
the highest elective Office ever created

The Radicals declare themselves in
favor Of resumption of specie pay
ment, and in Congress last winter
adopted measures for bringing about
that end by the 1st of January 1879.
How they are succeeding may be seen
from the fact that gold bears a higher
the dollar than when they adopted
their resumption measure. Does that
look like returning to specie payments
at an early day? s-..

THERE has been quite a change i'll
the sentiments of the Republican
managers on financial questions in. the
last seven years. In 1868 their State
Convention held in Columbus pro-.
nounced against contractionT OF the
currency and demanded more money
money enough to do the business Of
the country. They declared in favor
of paying the five-twenty bonds in
green-backs, and of taxing all bonds
thereafter issued as other property is
taxed. The Republican party has con-
tinued in power in the Federal GOV
ernment from that time to this, and
they have gone back upon every one
of the measures which they then fav-
cred. A Republican Congress has
declared that the bondholder shall be
entitled to receive gold in payment Of
his bonds, new bonds have been issu-
ed which have been exempt from tax
atien, and they haye contracted the
currency and are threatening still
further contraction with a view to a
forced resumption Of specie payments
in 1879. By their mismanagement of
the financial affairs the country is in a
worse condition than at any previous
time for over thirty yerrs. Labor is
idle, trade, commerce and manufactur-
ers are languishing, and all the inter-
ests of the country are prOstrated ;
while banks, money lenders and bOnd-
holders, the pets of this Radical party,
are fatteuing upon the substance OF
the people. In the midst of this mis-
management and distress the Radical
leaders in this region are striving 10
divert the attention of The people from
their mismanagement by an effort to
get up a religious fend aud a howl
over the war that has been ended for
oyer ten years past. ..,..-.., >,

A Middle-Aged Love Story,

they Eau come, llttlc group OF
friendly faces, to watch me oft,
with waving handkerchiefs and
kindly goodbye and l stood on
the stern nodding and waving back
till the steamer swept down the
river out of their sight.
l knew should have their pray
ers that the great sea might be
gentle with me l knew they would
watch the weather and look for the
telegram of the arrival of our ship {;
yet l knew l was taking nothing
from their lives, and that they each
would so home hardly missing me ;
so it was with no great wrench OF
heart that l saw the pilot put off
from us, and took the last look at
my native shores.
During most of the passage l
was just comfortably sea-sick, so l
sat all the day long in a reclining
chair on deck, watching the white
caps on the purple and green and
blue waves that mounted and fell
down and up, up and down, away
out on the far horizon. l saw the
shining nautiluses float by, now
and then a whale, or shoal of por-
poises, or a sail. speeding white and
and full across the water.
| saw also a good many other
things nearer by, for didn'tput my
eyes in my pocket along with my
short-sighted glasses, and nobody
was much likely to mind a middle.
aged woman in hood and water
proof.
The first thing l saw was young
girl with dark eyes and brown hair
that rippled itself into tang'e Of
rough curls whenever she took Off
her net. She was not so very pretty
nor so very brilliant but there was
a piquant charm about her that at.
tracted half the passengers before
the first day was over. BY the end
of the second day everybody, from
the captain to the ships surgeon,
and from the surgeon to the cabin
boy, was eager to show her atten-
ton and everybody was met by the
same genial smile and lively retOrt.
She won her way at once into my
heart by the kindly thought that led
her to bring little relishes from the
table to tempt my sickly appetite,
and to sooth my forehead with bay
water, and gentle touches of her
shapely brown hands, where a great
emerald gIittered, encircled by dia-
monds. Very soon she got in the
habit of drawing my rug beside my
chair, and sitting on the deck lean
ing against me, so that might "pet
her." as she said.
This was bow it happened that my
quiet. out-oi-the way corner came to
the centre of the life and gayety and
romance of the whole shipbOard.
1t seemed that this young girl,
