The Tammany Defeat in New York.

The most sharply contested part of
the recent canvass In New York was
the municipal fight in the metropolis.
It assumed the character of a contest
between the Tammany, or regular De-
mocracy, and the anti Tammany Demoo-
racy, reinforced by the Republicans !;
and the result is the defeat of Tammany
the second overwhelming that power
has met with in five years. 1t will be
remembered that John Morrissey, the
pugilist, broke with Tammany several
weeks ago, and declared war against it,
becoming the recognized champion of
an element that was nicknamed the
" short-hair" Democracy, in contradis-
tinction from the swallow tail" respect
ability which chung to the wigwam. In
the mixture of nominations, MorrisSey
became candidate Tor State Senator in
the Fourth District, supported by the
EVeAing Post and the Times, against
John Fox, the regular Democratic nomi-
nee. The fight between Morrissey and
Fox was one Of the sharpest features in
the municipal struggle. That between
many candidate for Recorder, and
his Tammany opponent, Frederick
Smyth, was another. There was
no Republican ticket in the
field, the Republicans contenting them
selves with supporting the insurgent
Democratic ticket for the purpose of in
ficting defeat on the Tammany De
mocracy. John Kelly, whose name ap-
peared so frequently and conspicuouslyin
the literature of the campaign" Hon
est John Kelly" as he was called by his
friends, and /" Boss Kelly" as he was
named by his opponents not g
candidate for any office; he was simply
Chairman OF the Tammany committee Oh
organization, which had charge of the
campaign. It was charged by his oppo
nents, and evidently believed by the cit
liens, that Kelly aspired to become sue
cessor to Tweed, with authority to use
the great. irresponsible power of the
party after the fashion of the first boss
Be that as it may, the great personal au
thorlty of Morrissey, and the somewhat
higher order of popularity of Recorder
Hackett, supported by the Republica1
minority, have carried the anti Tammany
ticket. Louis Republican.

"COlne and See Me.''

A writer says: Never take "Come and
see me- as phrase meant In earnest I'M
less it be accompanied with date. Such
an invitation amounts to nothing at all.
If a lady or gentleman desires your com
pany he or she will appoint a time for
your visit. tCall on me when you can
make it convenient, "Drop in as you
are passing" " Make us visit whenever
you have an hour or two to spare" are
social antiquities by which men and
women of the world understand that they
are not expected to do the thing request
ed. When people wish to be cheaply
polite there is nothing like this kind of
vagueness. The complimentary, small
change of society must always be taken
at a large discount. 1t is never worth
it's face or anything like it. Yet it is q
convenient medium of exchange, and
heavy debts of gratitude that ought to be
SECUTED in better coin are often paid
with it. People who have more polish
than principle use it lavishly plain,
blunt, honest men, sparingly or not at
all. Whoever makes friendly visit to
fashionable house on the strength of a
mere "Come and see me-" will very
often find that the family circle he has
dropped into by request is as ungenial
as the Arctic circle, and he will probably
leave it with a chilly feeling that will
prevent him from venturing into the
same high latitude again. But when a
whole-souled man, whom you know to
be your friend, grasps you vigorously by
the hand and says, "Come and dine with
me to-day-dinner on the table at
o'clock-be sure to come-we shall ex-
pect you, you can take it as certain
that your presence is warmly desired.
It is pleasant always to make or receive
visit from friend, but nod on the
street is all sufficient from fashionable

An Octogenarian Community.

Garrard county, KY, says the New
York Tribune, must be the most octo-
genarian locality in the Union. Ra-
chel Garnett lives there, aged 104
years "a woman who remembers

full regimentals. There are two
others John Croucher and Aunt Polly
Pointer have reached 100 years
each. Then there is the Rev. Burdett
Kemper, SO, who has been minister of
the Baptist Church for sixty years. But
We haven't space for all the senile in
stances. We must content ourselves
with stating that in this remarkable
county there are thirty. six persons whose
united ages amount to 1861 years AN
average of IS years and fraction over.
Hube Hoffman, aged 81 years, deserves
to be particularly mentioned as being
still capable of cutting his cord OF wood
day. More remarkable still is John B.
Alyerson, whose youngest child is about
6 weeks old; and finally, there is Thorn
ton Kemper, who lately visited Louis

years old.

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP LIKE MAN.

If the stormy winds should rustic
While you tread the worlds highway,
Still against them brayely tussle,
Hope and labor dag by day;
Fater not, no matter whether
There is sunshine, storm, or calm
And in every kind of weather
Hold your head up like man.
If a brother should deceive You
And should act : traitors part
Never let his treason grieve you,
jog along with lightsome heart
Fortune seldom follows tawning,
Boldness is the better plan,
Hoping for better dawning
Hold your head up like a man.
Earth, though e'er so rich and mellow,
Yields not for the worthless drone,
But the bold and honest fellow,
He can shift and stand alone:
Spurn the knave of every nation,
Always do the best you can,
And no matter what your station
Hold your head up like man.

which the editor replies that it is the
tendency of some temperaments to grow
stout at this age. Where this tendency
is in excess the remedy is to eat moder-
ately, eschewing fats, sugars and butter
largely, and to take daily bath with
much exercise. Gymnastic training has
relieved many cases.

A Corn-Shelling Match.

tons. He can beat all creation Smelling
corn. The other evening strolling
peddler had newly patched corn-sheller
hawking it about Raleigh, and was show
ing a crowd on the street how fast it
could shell, when an old member from
the mountains walked up, dressed in
blue jeans, and cob-pipe in his mouth,
and said to the peddler

myself. /"
"Well, sir" said the peddler, "I'll
give you machine for nothing if you'll
do it,
"Good as wheat, says conventionist,
and he searched over the pile for a red
cob, made a boy take it to fire and
burn it a little, and then squaring him
self on the sidewalk, he seized the red
cob with regular old plantation grip in
one hand, while he held the ear of corn
between both legs with the other, and
waited for the word SEQ from q little
man in the crowd, who held the watch
to time them.
eco p cried the fellow, and at it they
went.
But the little peddler was SO ex-
cited in the start that his shelter got
choked, and while he was scufiing to
unchoke it, the old member coolly got
up, and pitching his half-shelled ear into
the pile, said he to the peddler:

thing, mister; it would make me slow

lively, the crowd shouting and the ped
