came from Egypt. and his name was

thrust it into floxer.pot on tho rail.

when he faced about again the hat was
beyond his reach; the stalk had grown
six feet in as many seconds. 1t was still
growing when the boarders went down

SEAL SKINS,

[From the Contemporary Review.]
When the seals have reached the kill
ing ground they are allowed a certain
time to rest and cool, after which about
one hundred are driven into an Enclosure,
and the fittest are selected for slaughter.
The others are allowed to go down to the
nearest water, whence they at once make
their way back to the sea. The instru.
ment of destruction is long club Of hard
wood, with which the animals are struck
violent blow on the head. One is usu.
ally sufficient. A long sharp knife is then
thrust int the vitals, and the carcass
laid aside, and so on until about one
thousand have been slain, when the work
of skinning commences. When taken off
the skins are sailed and sent home in that
condition On arriving there they are
properly cured, and then comes tho pre-.
paration needed for their conversion into
what is properly called "sealskin." 1t is
difficult to conceive how that article Of
dress can be manufactured out of the un.
attractive object the skin presents Mt this
juncture. It is hard and unyielding as

Wings VS.. Democrats. :

Mr.. CRrTCHER will be glad to learn that
Mr.. PRIDENoRE, the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the Abingdon district, was
in years long gone by Wing. Mr..
CRITCHER complained in his circular to the
people OF his district that the old Democrats
had monopolized too many positions OF
trust in Virginia. mfr. MoMULLN, on the
contrary, says emphatically in a published
letter that he only asks that the Offices be
fairly divided between the two parties; stssor
at present." says he, "the Wings hold
nine.tenths Of the Offices" How Mr..
CRITcHER's and Mr.. McMuLLN's statements
are to be reeoncilea we know NOT. 4 Ger.

TiIden's Strength.

The writer OF the following note support
ed GRANT in 1872, but supports TILDEN
now. His estimate Of the strength of the
latter is we'll worthy of consideration. So,
also, is his estimate of the number OF the
voters who are determined to effect a reform
in the administration Of the Government.
His apprehensions may, too, be we'll
grounded as to the troubles that may follow
the counting of the electoral votes Of the
States in case the two houses disagree.
Messrs. EditorS,-Are you not under
rating Tilden's strength and overrating
Hayes's strength? ! mean by strength the
relative poWer of each before the people.
There is now more than ever before an
Unreasonable dormant power, which no
man can estimate. in each State North and
South. The men who refused to Uote for
Greeley and voted for Grant Is one
item to be considered; the men acho re-
fused to uote at all is another item.
Add these together throughout the en-
tire country, and they will give majority
in favor Of Tilden which will overwhelm
any majority in any one State which you
can name, North or South, East or West.
Take Virginia, for instance; compare her
vote numerically as between Grant and
Greeley, and then between ,Kemper and
Hughes. The difference will furnish fair
statement OF the numerical vote throughout
the United States. So much for the 7u1leri-
cal vote.
How will it stand as to the electoral uote
to be given in the electoral college? There
is the danger. A cloud, black as visible
darkness, overhangs that Scene--perhaps
the darkest drama ever enacted on the
American continent. Will it be enacted !?
Not il the American Congress areluigilant
and do their duty. But it will require UigiL-
ance and .jfrmneSs. No one knows better than
President Grant the value Of caution and
forecast IN a high and dangerous enterprise.
He has counted the costs, but will hesitate
before he casts the die. The imperturbate
placidity and inYincib1e intrepidity' OF the
people can alone stay the hand
already uplifted In, secret to strike down the
liberties OF the people. yai REMLIG.
