Springs, on August IS.
- And now tits "George Fl. Pendulum, )" and
they call him "Young Golden Greenbacks of
the Gilded Age"
- Sam Randall claims to have ninety votes
in his favor for the Speakership. There are
many claims in this country that are never
recognized. Cause, insufficient support.
william Allen claims that he is selErnade
man. That knocks the life out of great mys-
terry, and places heavy responsibility where it
belongs.
- Mr.. Alexander II. Rice's prospects for
being the next Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, are improving rapidly.
If the Republicans Rice-up and rally, the old
State will be reclaimed.
- John Morrissey says the Democratic
leaders in Ohio are fools, and the Cincinnati
Enquirer retorts that Morrissey is pugilist, a
gambler and thief. Both are right and all
| are Democrats.
There is a paper in st. Louis which says
''The astuteness of the New York Tribune en-
titles 1t to the distinction of being the st. Louis
Republican of the East" 1t is a neat and
| modest comment.
- Cincinnati is weeping for the loss of one
of her children and will not be comforted.
Her pet donkey-boy is dead. Dry up, fair
of two-legged ones.
-"Unless they kill William Allen" says
an exchange, "the Democrats will always run
him for Office" And there came voice from
out the pit, crying, "Don't kill him, for he is
the most effective instrument we have"
- Jump-up- and run away -and-then-come-
back -and-sit- t-down-again, is the Christian name
Of an Indian who has nervously gone OFF on
the war-path. He ought to be shot with
hundred pound Parrott. Walking dictionaries
are altogether too numerous.
Pennsylvania Democrats claim that Col.
Amos C.. Noyes, If nominated for Governor,
will beat Hartranft by majority of sc, 900 to
100, 900 votes.-Ez. 'Noy-us some more, can't
you?
Just because Governor Tilden has boils
the Democrats allow him to forsake the guber-
material chair and while away his precious
hours on the beach at Long Branch. The
matter ought to be brought to a head, and
"'tin den" win he refused to be comforted.
- Toads are bought by English gardeners
as the best and cheapest destroyer of insects
which infest plants. Nonsense. Two Amer
lean potato bugs can tie their hands behind
them and whip six ordinary toads 80 quick
that 1t will make their heads swim.
Gov. Hendricks has got both feet over on
the imitation side of the fence now, and is ap-
parently meditating descent on that side.
He is watching the wind, and
Gas 1t blows
He goes"
- The Graphic puts pathetic ballad into
the mouth of Kelly, "the Tammany Chief
Triumphant" to wit:
Me Chief of the Tsmmany Tribe!
Me kill John Morrissey so;
Me whisk on the scalp Of the Short Hair Chief,
And another bad Ingun lies 10!
(Gone to meet Yankee Sullivan.)
An Ohio paper says the Democratic pros
poets are slowly Frightening. Naturally
enough, whisky and beer are gradually as
serting their rights In politics. What pic
ture. Malt and spirituous, Fog Horn and
Carey, inflated hard money or golden green
backs, and only two months and half more
to consider It in.
New York is preparing to give the victo-
rious ''six" hearty welcome when they reach
our shores in August. Among the features Of
the overture will be reception by the military,
grand banquet and q presentation of a
bronze medallion. A right royal time viii hit
the mark.
AN editorial which appeared in a Southern
paper, entitled "Where VIII the Southern
Wings Co p has been extensively circulated In
exchanges. One Democrat says: "They will
20 to Hades If they do not vote with u.s." If
they should vote with you they would probably
60 further on.
Ex-Governor R. K. Scott, OF South Caro-
lima, who is reported to have accumulated
great wealth in partnership with Moses,
Kimpton & Co., Is now advocating an sssump-
ton of the rebel debt and paying for slave
property. Another gusher, with reputation
for imbeciled rascality as great as his age,
- This year the Gourier-yorrnal has beaten
the Agricultural Bureau ct Washington in the
fullness, accuracy and variety Of its crop re-
ports.-Ez. ora
1t has been doing that ever since the Journal
was established. Its beat crop the first year
was more than the. Agricultural Bureau ever
thought of. Since then It has been gradually
producing beats, until Louisville cries
