Il The Bristow papers, ashamed of their
treatment Of Blaine, are now inventing stories
to justify themselves. They say that Pennsyl-
vanis delegate once had q matter before Con.
gress, and Blaine demanded of him and received
5000 for supporting it; and that before its pas
sage he demanded and received still more money.
They ssy that if Blaine had been nominated, this
man would have taken the floor and exposed the
whole transaction to the Convention. The ques-
ton is, if be had done 80, would he have injured
Blaine, OF. rendered himself an abject spectacle,
by coufessing himself a briber and corrupter of
Congressman 1t certainly would have been
narrowing to the feelings of such pure being
to have to look on and see q corrupt man like
Blaine nominated

AWashingtO eorrspondent of the Omaha Herald
says: Ex-senator Pomeroy is about to set up
the pins for his re-election to the senate He is
quite confident. The other day when an ap-
plicant for Office approached him, he saidi 4
can't do much for y0u now, but after Mareh4

able to help you.' Since the expiration
of his senatorial term, he has lived in Washing
ton and operated as lobbyist in congress. He
is personal friend of Zach Chambers, and is on
excellent terms with Grant. There is one,
either in or out of office more potent with the
powers that be than ex-senator Pomeroy."

a The best evidence that the Republican
party is not prOscrptive on the financial ques-
tiOn, is the fact that Judge William D. Kelley
has just been re-nominated for Congress, in Phil
adelphia. Judge Kelley has been the leading
Republican Greenbacker; his District is the
strongest hard-money quarter of Philadelphia,
being the residence of the principal bankers bro
ksrs, and wealthy citizens and his opponent
was an able hard-money man. It will be seen,
that when q man has been able and faithful in
other things, as Judge Kelley has, Republicans
do not discard him because of a difference of
opinion upon the greenback question.

DRAW Your OWN INFERENCE.-At the time of
the late State Convention at Topeka, one of the
Doniphan County delegates met Fleischer, of the
Atchison Courier, and in conversation, asked
him to come out in his paper in favor of Mr.. Per
ry for Judge. FleisCher replied that he would
cheerfnlly do 50, if Perry would agree to oppose
Guthrie for Congress; that Guthrie had to be
beaten, at all hazards, and he was going to bend
every effort in that direction. As Feischer does
not favor Perry, but has come out strongly for
Hubbard, what inference do Guthrie and his
friends draw from the fact

On, Stanley, on
Were the last words OF Lappin.

IL Political "stiaws' are now being looked
for on all hands. Here is a significant one: Dur
ing the grand celebration Of the 4th, at Inde-
pendence Hall, Philadelphia, Gov. Hayes occu-
pied the stand, and loud and continuous calls
went up from the immense throng for Hayes to
make a speech, while little "Reform" Tilden sat
beside him, almost unnoticed. Hayes had the
modesty and good sense not to say anything for
political effect, but the incident showed in what
direction the popular enthusiasm ran.

II B. p. Waggener, of Atchison, in a speech
at a Tilden ratification meeting in st. Joseph,
Tuesday evening, said they could expect but lit

looked to the Democratic party to save them

Bailey didn't say it was fire aud birthstone that
he feared, or whether he was in danger of being
served as the Sodomites wanted to serve the two
angels that were stopping in Mr.. Lots house.

WIDE AwAxE'FoR July, 1s76-The July mum.
Der opens the third volume of Wide Awake, with
a grand Centennial story by Sara J. Prichard.
"The Only Woman in Town" was an actor in
the memorable fight at Concord, and it is her
due that she should be honored, if only with this
BITE laurel.
With this number open the new serials, "Nan,
the New Fashioned Girl" by Mrs: S. C. Hallow-
ell, and ''Good-for-N Nothing Polly" by Ella Far
man. Both, lavishly illustrated, promise to new
er once slip back into the DID, beaten paths of the
usual story-tellers. Celia Thaxter furnishes q
full-page poem, "The Sad Little Singer" There
are three excellent short stories, "Why Lily-bud
Didn't See the Centennial Opeu," "The Candy
Frolic," and Toms Centennial" besides minor
poems and papers. Perhaps the article really
demanding most attention is "The Bad Boys Of
France" We commend it to the perusal of those
of our citizens whose duty it is TO be interested
in the Reform-Schools, Houses of Correction,
and Bad Boys of our own country.

ST. NICHOLAS For JULY-Makes feature of
the national holiday. Its tribute to it includes
several contributions, - stories and sketches,
poems and pictures, puzzles and paragraphs.
All the American flags of history, from the "Rat-
tlesnake" and the palmetto" of 1776 to the
Stars and Stripes of the present, wave out at us
from two of the pages; the "Boston Boys" who
gained their right to the Common" are remem.
bered in poem and shown in a drawing; and
on the Centennial Page" the events of the Gen.
tury that are most worthy of record are duly re-
corded, and some of them pictured.
In its miscellaneous contents, the number in
cludes many other attractive and interesting
articles. Mrs. Oiiphant has of her most
charming "Windsor Castle" papers; and Susan
Coolidge a romantic story of humble life in Ger
many. There is "The Vikings in America" in
which those adventurous pirates of Norway are
credited with the original discovery of the New
World; "Turret-Ships and Torpedoes," WELL
illustrated article, full of information regarding
naval armament, inventions, warfare; "The Moth
er's Stratagem," capital story by Edward King;
a comcal picture called "The Mouse's Mistake"
and sweet little poem for the girls, entitled
"Jemina Brown" "The Boy Emigrants" begin
digging out their gold under circumstances of
excitement and interest; and Mr.. Aldrich's story
of "The Cat and the Countess" ends in very
happy and entertaining manner. We are sorry
to lose this story, and the admirable series of
dainty and amusing silhouettes- al
most one hundred-which has illustrated it to
such perfection.
Marion Harlands "Little Housekeepers'" page
gives the girls n recipe for "Broiled Ceicken;"
"a young Contributor" furnishes an amusing
story; k-in-the-Pulpit, and the other depart
ments, have their usual store of good things;
and chief among the numerous illustrations is

n The supporters of Tilden will perhaps
have noticed in the daily papers, of Sunday, a
dispatch stating that the suit Of the StLouis and
Terre Haute Railroad against Samuel J. Tilden
and others, has been postponed until October |;
but perhaps they do not exactly understand it.
This is the railroad that Tilden and his coufed-
crates stole, ,'and they are staving off the trial
until after the election, that it may not injure

" 1t is said that Tildon was really not nom
mated on the second ballot, when the voting
ceased, but that the clerks withheld the tally,

of two votes was necessary. As most of the del
egates were just then holding about four fingers,
they were not hard TO manipulate.

ScRIBNER FOR July Though not entirely
given over to Centennial TOPICS contains much,
the publishers claim, that will just now be of
peculiar interest to the American public. The
accounts of the singing of the Declaration (even
those by the signers themselves) are very con-
fiicting, and Col. Higginsons "story of the Sign
ing" in this number, is n concise and reliable
review of the subject. The illustrations of this
paper are quite striking. Recent research has
shown that some of our most orthodox and cher
shed legends of the Declaration will not do "to
tie to-" But, if we must give up the "Rng!
GrandpaT story, Col. Higginson seems to think,
we shall find, by way of compensation, plenty of
authentic legends abont Washington in the next
paper: "a Little Centennial Lady," by Mrs Con-
stance Cary Harrson-s delightful, illustrated
sketch of Sally Fairfax, Gen. Washington's pet
and friend. This is q rare piece of magazine
writin ng, and embodies portions of sally's jour
nal, written in the quaintest of language.
Miss Jane Stuart writes racly of ber fathers
celebrated portraits of Washington, and gives
new anecdotes of both painter and president.
Accompanying this is an engraving of Stuart's
portrait, from the original in the Boston Atben-
aum.
In a paper on 'Harvard University" by Mr..
H. E. Scudder, there other glimpses in type
and picture of Revolutionary times and people,
including the Washington Elm and Washing ton
(Longfellow's) House. This is pronounced the
best popular review of the University that has
ever appeared.
Other interesting papers are: the first of Col.
Warnings illustrated series on the Mosel River, |
entitled "The Bride of the Rhine:" a notable de-
fense of Webster's course on the Compromise |
Measures of 1850, by Prof. W. C. Wilkinson; q |

nence in their profession both being gentlemen
Of pleasing address and strict integrity, the ri
valry between these two, and the zeal of their
friends, cannot be otherwise than that generous
partiality Of personal attachment alone, without
the gall of opposition.
Mr.. Martin, however, if no better qualified or
deserving than Mr.. Perry for the position, will
labor under the disadvantage of locality. The
position of Troy, with respect to the railroad ia
cilites of the District will be greatly in favor Of
Mr.. Perry, and ought to be seriously considered
in making the selection. 1t is small matter
to require Atchison to go to Seneca to get in-
functions, &C., at chambers. But it is even a
greater hardship to require Brown and Nemaha
to go to Atchson, and lose two or three days,
to get a temporary order. To this extent, at
least, is locality going to cut figure. Mr.. Perry,
at chambers, can be seen by the whole District,
without regard to railroad connections.

ate secondhand wood-cuts, and 4 quantity of
photographs and biographies of citizens of Kan
sas many of them unknown except in their i'm
mediate neighborhoods. Some months ago, cir

their photographs and a sketch of their lives
which it was proposed to insert for a moderate

to insert the photographs and biographies of
some OF the most emiuent citizens of Kansas,
quite a number had their vanity sufficiently
touched to comply with the request. And thus
it was that the Centennial History of Kansas
