Mr.. TALBOT who represents East Ma
chias in the House is not the leader of that
body. True, he imagines he is. Indeed, he
thinks that he is to be the next Democratic
candidate for Governor. Daniel Pratt Jr.,
the great American traveller, entertains simi-
lar expectations respecting the Presidency. 1t
is our fortune to know both gentlemen.
When the latter is President, the former will
be chosen to lead the Democratic party-not
before. Why, Mr.. Talbot imagines he is
living politician. We regret that he is mis-
taken. His political existence is case anal
agous to that ofa dead body connected with
galvanic battery. 1t twitches its legs, wniks
its eyes, and almost breafhs. 1t is only mus
cular contraction. Mr.. Talbot died of "cop-
perheadism" twelve years ago and he labors
under the delusion that because the East Ma
chias Democrats are experimenting on a sub
ject taken from its political grave yard, that
he has experienced political resurrection.
Fatal delusion!

Cincinnati dancing girl who has shown a
presence of mind, bravery and knowledge
of the nature of men provocative of the high
est admiration. At the National Theatre the
other night her dress caught fire. The audi
ence rose and began rush for the door, but
she extinguished the flames with the loss only
of her skirts, and continued her dance. The
spectacle of woman dancing without skirts
at once arrested the stampede, and every
man in the audience returned to his seat, and
sat, breathless with admiration, until the
performance was over. The name of this
woman, who doubtless saved many lives, is

What 1 Know About vegetine.

H. r. STEVENS, Esq:
Dear Sir-I have had considerable experience with
the VEGETINE. For dyspepsia, general debility and
impure blood, the VEGETINE is superior to anything
which have ever used. commenced taking VEGF-
TINE about the middle of last winter and after using
few bottles it entirely cured me of dyspepsia, and
my blood never was in so good condition as at the
present time. 1t will afford pleasure to give any
further particulars relative to what know about
this good medicine to any one who will call or ad-
dress me at my residence, 1856 Athens street.

Mr.. WIeGNToN, representative from Cal
ifornia, has introduced a bill into the House
providing for the coinage of "great eagle"
of the value of $50, and weighing two and
seven-tenths ounces. Better provide coins to
take the place of the one, two, and five dol
lar notes than send out dices weighing six to
the pound.

THE members of the Democratic caucus
finance committee have taken to quarrelling
in dead earnest, though Mr.. Lamar thought
he had provided against trouble of that kind
by refusing any representation to New York.
Mr.. Holman appears to be responsible for the
difficulty. He sees the necessity of out
bidding Mr.. Landers for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination in Indiana, and so
obstinately refuses to make even the shadow
of concession TO the resumptionists. The
trouble however will not last for long. The
resumptionists will, for the sake of harmony,
surrender shadow as they have substance.
Already Mr.. Payne has modified his bill so
that it may meet the approval of the infia-
tionists, and Senator Thurman, in order to
conciliate the rag-money men of Ohio, has
publicly declared that he is now and always
has been firmly opposed to contraction.

Augusta. We believe that Mr.. Cleaves isn't
the sort of man to run away. Mr.. Cleaves
was active in having struck from a bill Sec
ticn giving boards OF aldermen in cities vague
and undetermined power. A section to
which three leading Democrats advocating the
measure gave three different constructions /.
In the past the same measure has proved
mischievous and the suorce Of frauds. Mr..
Cleaves did support that portion of the bill
giving persons claiming the right Of suffrage
five days in which to have their names placed
on the list. He only opposed that portion Of
the bill which would surely promote frauds in
elections. We trust, therefore, that Mr..

faithfully represents without fear of any an
