Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A.
Hendricks are both reformers Each
has his own State. Each is a Statesman

Each is fully committed to the results of
the war, and to the perpetuity of the

worthy to be the leader of a great

The Democracy have proclaimed war
against corruption and knavery of every

such men to places of trust and homer, as

The Moon AND THE WEATHER.-The
notion that the moon exerts an influence
on the weather is so deeply rooted that,
Notwithstanding all the. attacks which
have been made against it since meteorol-
ogy hes been seriously studied, it contin-
ues to retain its hold upon us. And yet
there never was q popular superstition
more utterly without . basis than this
one. If the moon did really possess any
power over the weather, that power could
only be exercised in one of three ways
by reflection of the SUMS rays, by attrac-
ton, or by emanation. No other form
of action is conceivable. Now, as the
brightest light of full moon is never
equal in intensity or quantity to that
which is reflected towards us by a white
cloud on a summer day, it can scarcely
be pretended that weather is affected by
such cause. That the moon does exert
attraction on US is manifest-we see its
working in the tides, but though it can
move water it is most unlikely that it can
do the same to air, for the specific gravi.
ty of the atmosphere is SO small that
there is nothing to be attracted. Laplace
calculated, indeed, that the joint attrac-
ton of the sun and moon together could
not stir the atmosphere at q quicker rate
than five miles day. As for lunar ema.
nations, not sign of them has ever been
discovered. The idea of an influence
produced by the phases of the moon is
therefore based on no recognizable cause
whatever. Furthermore, it is now dis.
tinctly shown that no variations at all
really occur in weather at the moment OF
the changes of quarter any more than at
other ordinary times. Since the estab,
lishment of meteorological stations all
over the earth, it has been proved by
millions of observations that there is no
simultaneousness whatever between the
supposed cause and the supposed effect.
The whole story is fancy and q super
stition which has been handed down to
us uncontrolled, and which we have ac-
cepted as true because our forefathers be-
lieved it. The moon exercises no more
influence on the weather than herrings
do on the government of Switzerland

MAKE 1T STRAIGHT.-A good deal of
discussion is going on among the people
as to the character of the ticket to be put
in nomination for the county offices. In
this county we are satisfied that COM
promise is impossible, and that only q
straight ticket" will bring out the Dem
ocratic strength. The people are sick of
mongrelism and available men," and
they now demand that the best men in
the county shall be brought to the front
men whose political creeds have never
been questioned. The day for available
men" is past. These political eunuchs
of the neuter gender belong to nobody,
they represent nobody, and in fact they
are nothing but ciphers, and nobody,
politically speaking, proposes to have
anything to do with them. They have
no mind of their own; they have no
creeds of their own; they express no
opinion they say nothing; they do moth.
ing, and they spend their social existence
in agreeing to everything. We want pos
tive men and men of ability; men of in
telligence; and men of integrity; good
men and true men men who think and
men who work. Give us ticket COM
posed of such men and Laurcns county is

REcoNc1L1AToRY MEETING.-It must
be q source of qualification to every
broad-gague citizen of the Republic to
observe the fact, that while the politi-
clans are doing their worst to stimulate
anew the animosities of the late civil
war, the soldiery element of our popula-
ton is doing its level best to cultivate
the feelings of the reciprocal friendship
and good will. While such politicians
as Morton, Butler, Boutwell,, Blaine and
Hill seem to take delight in arousing the
antagonisms of sectional strife by fresh
recital of the transactions of the bloody
past, it is especially pleasant to see the
brave men, representatives of those who
fought upon both sides in that terrible
contest, acting in the spirit of that an
cient prophecy of the good time coming,
when "swords should be beaten into
plow-shares and spears into the pruning
hooks, and the nations shall learn war no
more.h It will be remembered by our
readers that last year, upon the occasion
of our Centennial celebration of the Bat
tie of Bunker Hill, prominent feature
in the procession was the delegations
from Maryland, Virginia and South Car
olina, who came hither prompted by the
patriotic inspirations of the event to par
ticipate in the general jubilee. Their
presence was most acceptable; they were
recognized as friends and brethren, heirs
to the same heritage, and made to realize
through the cordial attentions of ourpeo-
pie that by-gones were to be by-gones
forever; and that hen eforth there would
be only generous rivalry between them
to add to the glory and renown of re-
united republic. In friendly reciprocal
ton of our manifestations of regard, the
military companies of Charleston have
invited the Light Infantry of Boston to
Join them on the 18th of June in celebrat-
ing the one hundredth anniversary of the
gallant defense of Fort Moultrie, one of the
famous Notifications of Charleston Har-
Dor, and that invitation has been accep-
ted.-Boston Herald.

A GOOD TEMPERANCE SToRY.-A
good story is told of little miss of five
or six summers, who unconsciously per-
petrated one of the best jokes of the season.
Wine was passed around, and she was in
vited to take some but declined. "Why
do you not take wine with dinner, Min
nieY" asked q gentleman who sat near.
"Tause doesn't like IT," "But take a
little then, my child, for your stomach's
sake" he urged. 81 amt dot no TOM

tinctly heard by all those around, every
one burst into laughter which so fright

How TO GET RID OF FL1Es.-Rev.
George Meares Drought, writing from
Ireland, says: "For three years have
lived in town, and during that time my
sitting-room has been free from flies,
three or four only walking about my
breakfast table, while all my neighbors'
rooms were crowded. l often congratu-
late myself on my escape, but never knew
the reason of it until two days ago. l
then had occasion to move my goods to
another house, while remained on for
two days longer. Among other things
moved were two boxes of Geraniums and
Calceolaries, which stood in my window,
the window being always open to full e1-
tent, top and bottom. The boxes were
not gone half an hour before my room
was as full of flies as those around me.
This, to me, is new discovery, and per-
haps it may serve to encourage others in
that which is always source of pleasure,
and which now proves also to be source
of comfort, viz: window gardening"

shook him, while the old man said: IF
