conspicuous men. 1t should, however. be
thoroughly understood that there is moth
ing new in this matter This opposition to
Mr.. Tilden has been about the same for
several years. The same leading men op-
posed him, with the same determination as
now, when he was first nominated for COVER

Not one person of influence has been added

A Beautiful Tribute to a
Mother.

Children, look in those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the feeling Of even
a single touch .that is bestowed upon you
by q that gentle hand Make much Of
it while you have the most precious of all
gifts, a loving mother. Read the unfath-
enable love in those eyes the kind anx>
icty of that tone'and look, however slight
your pain. In after life you may have
friends, fond, dear friends; but never
will you have again the inexpressible love
and gentleness lavished upon you which
none but a mother bestows. Often do |
sigh in my struggles with the dark, I'm,
caring world, for the sweet, deep security
| feel when, of an evening, nesting in her
bosom, l listened to some quiet tale,
suitable to my age, read in her tender
and untlring voice. Never can | forget
her sweet glances cast upon me when |
appeared asleep never her kiss at night.
Years have passed away since we laid her
beside my father in the old church. yard !;
and still her voice whispers from the
grave, and her eye watches over me, as l
visit spots long since hallowed to the
memory of my Mother.

4 Man Killed by a Mouse.

A most extraordinary occurrence was
brought to light a few days since at an
inquest held on the body of a man in
South London. From the evidence, it
appears that in a work room where
many young girls were at work, a mouse
suddenly made its appearance on a table,
causing, Of course, considerable commo-
ton. The intruder was seized, however,
by a young mar who happened to be
present, but the mouse slipped out of his
hand and, running up his sleeve, came
out between his waistcoat and shirt. and
in his surprise aud fright the man actu,
ally swallowed it. That a mouse can
exist fora considerable time without
much air, has long been a popular belief
and was unfortunately proved to be a fact
IN the present instance, for the mouse
began to tear and gnow inside the mans
throat and chest, and the result was that
the unfortunate fellow died after a little
time in the most horrible agony. Sev-
eral witnesses having co%rroborated tie
above facts, and medical evidence having
been given as to the cause of death, q
verdict of accidental death" was re-
turned. The mousc has been preserved
In spirits of wine, and placed in the mu
scum of the London hospital.

Cows Must be well Treated.

AS a man imparts his own disposition
to the family that he raises, or the brutes
that come under his care, so does the
mixer impart the same to the COW that he
is in the habit Of milking. A mans char
acter can be read by the intelligent stran,
ger in tho actions of his dog, as he ap>
proaches his masters house, or in the ac-
lions of his cattle and horses when he
visits his farm Yard. Kind children,
dogs, horses or cows rever can be found
with a cross, irritable, ugly man, 1t can
be put down as safe to calculate upon
finding kicking mixers where there are
kicking cows, No COW kicks without a
cause and no COW can be Cured of kicking
by cruel treatment. Cows are like mon,
some of nervous temperament, and some
OF quiet easy make up ; some with udders
that will bear any anonnt of handling
without causing pain others so sensitive
that Its owner seems inclined to repel the
very approach Of the mixer, will even
Kick her new born calf, Now, as our
best men and women are made up of this
nervous class, so we find that our best
COWS are of that class that need gentle
treatment. These cows must be arproach>
ed with gentleness, They only kick from
fear of being harmed, and if beaten for
the lmpulsive move of the foot, the next
time they are sure to kick in self defense.
and will continue to do so, and the result
is that perhaps the very best COW in tho
barn has to have her feet tied while milk
ing for want of kind treatment on the
part of the mixer. A Eabitual kicking
COW is almost entirely unknown in those
countries where woman do the milking.
az for instance, in Holland, Germany
and Ireland. A man that would beat a
COW while her head is fastened in tho
stancheon, deserves himself to be beaten.
and If be be a hired man deserves to bc
summarily discharged. The higher the
temper of COW, the kinder must be the
mixer to save trouble and get the best
results in milk.
we were once engaged to take charge
OF a dairy of 25O COWS, and when we toek
possession ffty>four of them had to be
tied with head in s%tancheon and ropes
around their legs at every milking. AT
the end of three months only seven had
to be tied at the end of one year only
two. This was all brought about by
making a positive order that no COW
should be beaten under any circumstance
and promptly discharging the worst of the
men-always being in the stables myself
during milking.
No animal contributes so much to the
comfort OF the human family as The COW,
and none are 50 brutally treated in the
west than at the cast. Although our
eastern brethren set themselves up as pat.
terms for us in all things pertaining to the
dairy, yet they will starvc and freeze
their COWS durn ing the long cold winter,
and in DIGGING and kicking and beating
they are the peers of all the world beside.

Tilden ON Finances.

Tilden quotes at considerable length
from q speech he made in 1868, to show
what dismal picture he drew OF the finan-
cial state of affairs at that time. The Gin
ciunati gazette says he does not go back
far enough:
lie could REPRODUCE still more pictures
which he drew in 1864, 1868, 1862 and 1861,
and how he pronounced the defense of the
Union against secession the destruction of
constitution and liberty, and how he called
Lincoln and his "hirelings" murderers, and
every Confederate soldier whom they made
to turn up his toes a martyr. Indeed,
Samuel has been saying very bad things
about our government for many, years.
The worst were said in the war, when his
Southern masters were getting hurt. If he
goes back to reproduce himself, in the
despsiring view he took Of the country, ou9 he
est pictures, when he was pronouncing the
war of defense unconstitutional, and was
encouraging draft riots in New York city.

the country, and surely is of such moment
to the people Of South Carolina, that they
can not afford to neglect any effort or op-
portunity to redeem their State from the
clutches OF those who have despoiled it SO
long, and at the same time contribute to
the victory of the national ticket, in whose
success zone more than they are interested.
To secure . Democratic majority this
year it is the duty Of the party IN South
Carolina TO place q candidate at the Eead
OF their ticket who will command the con-
fidence and esteem net only OF his OWE
party, but of all honest elements OF the
people. Compromise OF prIncipie is always
as impolitic as it is dishonest. and any such
fusion ss seems TO be contemplated IN GER
tain quarters of the State, with those who
have been prominent in ite misgOvernment
and spOliation, will be as unfortunate Tor
the country as it will be fatal to the pres
ent integrity aud future welfare Of the
people OF South Carolina.
It will be seen from this article that Gov
ernor Chamberlain is now to be thrown
overheard by the South Carolina Conserva-
tiyes. He has ceased TO be available" for
these Conservatives. Furthermore, he has
become the material witness in an Issue
upon which will turn, sooner or later, not
only the presidential election, but the whole
question of Southern reconstruction. This
is 60 because the Hamburg matter connects
itself with the Louisiana matter and with
the Mississippi matter. 1t furnishes what
the lawyers call the needed link IN chain
of evidence IN given case, making the
case clear. In other worde, Hamburg
"proves crime against the Confederate
leaders in Louisiana and Mississippi.
We msy now soon expect to see the
World bring forth the counter motive"
against Chamberlain. He will now be
charged with being ''disappointed' polit-
ical asplrant. His failure to secure the fur
ther political confidence of the .'Conserva-
tive" leaders of South Carolina will be
quoted as his reason for turning Estates
evidence in the Hamburg matter. But
this sharp practice will not avail in this in
stance Governor Chamberlains statements
in regard to the recent murder Of American
citizens in his State.b band Of 'Confed-
crates from Georgia will be accepted as
truth all over the North. The motive for
the deed, the policy of terrorism which it
proves, and the final consequences of this
policy, are matters for discussion before the
jury of the nation. B.
