speakers canvassing counties, wards and
townships in both States, with hundreds
of imported villains from other States re-
peating in all other towns, the Republi-
cans have lost ground. Ohio being the
home of Hayes, his friends boasted that
they would carry this State by twenty
or thirty thousand, and atonce settle the
question of the Presidency. 1t was Ohio
that was called upon and expected todo
themighty work of the CAMPAIGN, and in
consideration of that service, more than
q half million of dollars, collected from
eighty thousand officeholders and stolen
from the Treasury OF the United States
were expended to cheat and rob the peo-
pie of our State of the privilege of elect
ing the men of their choice. In three
weeks the Ohio Democracy will have
none of the above-named element to con-
tend against, except the power of the Ad-
ministration, which will be feeble COM
pared with what it was last Tuesday.
The election being held in all the states
simultaneously, the Republicans will
have less money and fewer votes to pour
into Ohio and Indiana. They will re-
quire all their votes at home, and will
have none to spare to invade the States
that have just voted. Now, friends, let
us once more rally against the party
whose policy is ruin and bankruptcy.

Governor Hayes partisans to deny that
he is in sympathy with the principles OF
the Alliance. The fact is self-evident
from his acceptance of its nomination,
if it be true as stated that he gave this
acceptance in perosn to the committee
waiting upon him. 1t may possibly be
denied that his language to the
committee bore the Interpretation that
has been put upon it; tits not in writing
and it is not therefore possible to prove
his exact words. But there can be no
dispute as to the words written by the
Secretary, and they are amply sufficient
of themselves to prove all that is charged
of Hayes's affiliation with this Know
nothing order, which was organized in
1871sand has been put in working order
for the purposes of this campaign. If
Governor Hayes was not in sympathy
with its objects, certainly he would have
taken the opportunity to express in his
letter to the representative of the order
his disapproval of its purpose, instead of
thanking him for its expression of con-
fdence.
If there is that in Governor Hayes's
principles which inspires Know-nothing
orga nization with confidence in him, it
will be safe for all people who abhor such
narrow and illlberal tenets as this order
teaches, to express by their votes a want
of confidence in bim.
1t does not, indeed, at all matter what
Hayes's real sentiments are. 1t is Ger
tain that he is at least willing to simu-
late to the American Alliance his faith
in their principles. 1t may be that he
is only aiming to get their votes. If to
gain these he is willing to pretend to
believe what he does not believe. he is
not the square, straightforward, honest
man that the people want to elect as
their President. There is no room for
escape from the conviction that he is So
licitipg the votes of this Alliance. His sec
retary's letter expresses an intention of
cooperating with it and of giving it aid.
He promises to put them in commune
cation with those who will act in con-
junction with them in advancing the
success of the Republican ticket. 1t is
beyond peradventure that Hayes is the
candidate of the Alliance and that he
covets their votes, and gives them to
understand that he is one of them. He
cannot look therefore for the votes Of
those who condemn their principles.

Governor TiIden,s True War Record.

Governor Tilden profoundly depre-
Gated the civil war. He appreciated
more clearly than most persons around
him the disastrous consequences to life
and treasure. He attended meeting of
the leading men of both parties in the
winter of 1S60-61 to consider if there
was any practicable way to avert armed
collision. He was, at first, one of the
few who sought some possible way of
reconciling the antagonisms of the North
and South, especially in view of what
he and many others felt to have been
the irritating causes which might have
been avoided. But he urged upon the
South Difference to the will of the ma
jority; respect for the provisions of the
Constitution, within which they could
tind the only adequate protection, and
he warned them that outside of the Con-
stitution they could not expect protec-
tion for themselves or property.
And when he was convinced that the
South meant nothing less than the de-
struetion of the Union; when he felt
that they were determined to maintain
the institution Of slavery to the destruc-
tion of that wise government which our
fathers had established at such an i'm
mense sacrifice he sought no further
way of reconciliation.
AT a meeting, held in the house ot
General Dix, just after the call for 75, ,o0C
troops, he expressed the opinion that we
were on the eve of great war, and
urged the call of 500, 900 troops, one-hali
for immediate service, and the other tc
be put in camps of instruction. He ad
yissd with President Lincoln and Cabi
net. From his great knowledge of the
history of the finances of the nations il
peace and war, he gave to Secretary
Chase advice in providing money for the
exigencies of the war, which, if followed

The History of the New York Ring and
Growth Of the CITY Debt.

The last six years have brought Gov
ernor Tilden i1to struggle both profes
sional and political, which has tasked
his great resources beyond all previous
experience. With aself-sacrifce worthy
of all honor, he threw himself into the
breach to meet conspiracy and to over
throw municipal ring without parallel
in magnitude or iniquity in the history
of cities.
Nothing could more completely falsify
the history of this contest that he came
into it when the battle was over. In
1859 this ring was fully organized and
had complete possession of the city gov
ernment, its offices, its treasury, and its
judiciary. 1t could make or abolish de-
partments and Offices, with their emolu-
ments, by the corrupt use of the funds
of the city, with the legislative or law
making power, and by The same infu-
ence it controlled largely the administrz-
tion of justice in the higher courts. 1t
had completely intrenched and fortified
the citadel of its power against all ordi-
nary attacks of the ablest men, or even
the ballot of the people. Ali honest,
law-loving citizens will long remember
their sense of helplessness to over
throw it.
This ring was stronger and more cohe-
sive than any which could have been
formed simply from the elements of the
Tammany and Anti-Tammany factions.
Though controlled by corrupt members
of Tammany. it could never have been
formed or held its absolute sway by and
through the elements of that society
alone. 1t was doubly ring, which in
the very meaning of the word encircles
enough of the corrupt leaders of both
parties, Republican and Democratic, to
control the action of both party ma.
chimes. 1t had its origin in the Board OF
Supervisors, created by an act of the
Legislature in 1857, in connection with
the city charter of that year. This act
provided for six Democratic and six Re
publican Supervisors, whose term Of
office was at the next session extended to
six years. 1t was a ring between the
Republican and Democratic Supervisors
of the city finances, and soon grew to be
a ring between the Republican majority
at Albany on the one hand, and these
Supervisors (half and half and few
Democratic officials on the other.
For thirteen years previous to 1868
and 1870, when the ring power was COM
plete over all city affairs in the person OF
Tweed and his allies, the Republicans
had had in their hands the Legislative
power Of the State. In this entire period
the Democratic party had never a ma
jority in the Senate, and only once in
the Assembly. These facts are in proc

some Of the finest specimens of Photographic
skill ever produced in the State bear the impress
Of this popular Gallery. A distinguished Art
connoisseur returning to the East from a tour
Of the European Continent, paid the following
well merited testimonial to the HousewortR

ing Photographic establishments, both in this
country and in Europe, and have critically ex-
amined their best productions, and am free to
confess that have never seen so large a collec-
ton OF genuine works of artistic excellence as
are to be seen in the Houseworth Gallery of San
Francisco" Considering the source from which
this tribute came, it was most emphatic but
every dispassionate critic Of art will acknowledge
that it was justly merited. There is in the
Houseworth picture q depth of tone grace of
pose, beauty Of outline, delicacy Of detail, and
perfection Of finish that challenge the admira-
ton Of the art critic, and leave nothing to be
desired in the way of Photographic skill to
those who seek perfection in likeness. House

CrsmatiOn--AC Case in South Carolina.

A letter from Marion, S. c.. says:
Mr.. Henry Berry, whose remains were
given to the flames in Marion county, a
few days ago, was possessed of consid
cradle means, owning about 20, 900 acres
OF land, and having in bank about S15,-
900 or 800, 900. About fifteen years ago
he had occasion to take up the dead
bodies of two children, and, seeing
their condition, vowed then that when
he died his body should be burned in
stead of buried. He accordingly made
his will, dividing his property out
among his children, but inserting pro-
viso that his body, after death, should
be burned, and. in case it was not, the
whole Of his estate was to go to a church
near by, the one at which he worshiped.
Some time ago he took member of his
family into a piece of woods near the
house and pointed out the exact place
where he wanted to be burned, and also
the trees which he desired cut down and
used for the purpose. Last Monday he
died at the age of eighty years, and his
body was put in plain box las he had
directed, and the size of which he had
given) and hauled in cart, drawn by
mule, to this place. He had provided
that $500 be given to William Hure-
ling, mulatto, to whom he was much
attached, for experimenting the burn
ing. Six logs Of pitch pine were put
on the ground, and on these, forming
two tiers, we're laid five other logs.
Lightwood was piled about on the logs,
and at the head, foot and sides of the
box containing the body. The whole
hight of the funeral pyre was ten or
twelve feet. Several male members Of
the old mans family were present, and
a number of negroes, but, considering
the occasion, the crowd was small.
Torches were applied simultaneously,
and with a good deal of agitation, to the
four corners of the pyre, and when our
informant left the scene the fat wood
was burning and blazing and cracking.
The old man had directed that his ashes
should mingle with those of the wood,
and all be blown away together.

WHICH WAY SHOULD DRILLS RuN?-
An erroneous impression seems to pre-
vail in regard to the proper direction in
which to place drills, for plants cult
vated in that manner. They are gen.
orally laid off north and south, in order
to get the greatest benefit from the di-
rect rays of the sun. Instead of north
and south, the rows should run east and
west. Suppose piece of ground plant
edsln drills two feetapart, running north
and south. The plants, by the middle
OF July, having attained to the hight of
iour feet, each row will be shaded by
the one east of it until about the middle
Of the forenoon; then from the middle
OF the forenoon till night, the shade Of
each row will fall on its next eastern
nelghbors. If the drills run east and
west, the distance apart and the hight
Oeing the same, the shadow of any row

A Girl Twice as Small as Tom
Thumb.

A large number Of physicians went to
Tony Pastors Theatre, recently, to see
the Mexican dwarf, Lucia Zarate. They
measured her and ascertained her hight
to be twenty-one inches her feet three
inches long, her legs below the knees
four inches in circumference, and her
hands an inch and quarter broad. Her
mother, who is robust, and Of medium
size, says that Lucia is twelve years old.
Her face is older than that. Her fea-
lures are Spanish and her complexion
dark. Her activity is incessant. She
played pranks with the physicians and
talked fast in Spanish. She stepped
into a high silk hat, crouched down,
and was out of sight excepting her
head. She squeezed one OF her pliable
ger ring. The hand of an adult made
ample seat for her. Standing on a chair
and holding to the back of it, her fin
gers struck the spaces in the canework
holes that just admitted the passage
of q small penholder. She was not
weighed, but her weight is said to be
five pounds; and, poised in the hand,
she does not seem heavier. Her cloth
ing is comically small, as though in
tended for doll, the shoes and stock
ings especially being toylike.
Tom Thumb has grown appreciably
since he was exhibited by Barnum, but
when he first astonished the public he
was twice as large as Lucia, and he was
then about her present age. She has
not grown any, her mother says, since
she was year old.-NetO York Sun.

SUNsTRoKE.-The America, Journal
of Medical Science has the following in
regard to sunstroke:
1t is not really O sudden stroke.
There are preliminary symptoms that,
if they are needed, would enable one
to avoid the attack. The temperature
rises and the individual prespires, be-
comes thirsty and feels very much ex-
hausted. These symptoms increase un-
til the temperature Of the body reaches
Ill degrees Fahrenheit, the skin be-
comes dry, the sufferer feels 3 terrible
oppression, undergoes violent palpita-
ton, and experiences an overburdening
sense of coming death. This condition
of sunstroke, fatiguing, utterly pros
trating as it is, may be entirely recov-
cred from, but in the higher stages the
brain is thought to be the seat of le-
sions that may have permanent effect on
its functions. These are supposed to be
inhammatory, and to leave the sufferer
liable to mental diseases afterward. 1t
is consequently the duty of whoever
feels the premonitions to succumb at
once, rather than fight the fatigue and
depression until it ends in permanent
injury. All persons working in the
open air will do well to remember this. I"
