NOTES HERE AuD THERE

DO not imagine when you see one of
chose broad -chested statesmen get up in
his place on the floor of the house of rep
resentatives, that your soul is about to be
aroused by burst of sonorous eloQuence.
He carries his paper of chewing tobacco in
his coat-tail pocket. and is too fat to reach
it without rising. - B1ooklyn Argus. 2
1t may be that Bayard can do in
New York all that we hope Ti!den can do,
but, whether Bayard is selected or not, we
of the south and of the. whole union
recognize Tildeu as the embodiment of
that reform idea which is to drag the
present administration from its seat and
restore the government to its pristine puri-
ty.-Aobile Register.
The Effngham (Ill.) Democrat in
d1rses the following from the New York
Tribune: ''His Tilden's is the only name
that, as a Democratic candidate, would
have any serious meaning for the people.
Not to nominate him at St Louis would
be to start off with the confession that all
the talk by party leaders and party presses
about reform is hollow and insincere. p"
1t is almost universally conceded that
upon the result of the Empire state hangs
the result for the union. It's great deal
that the Democrats Of New York deliber-
ately presented Gov. Iilden as their candi-
date; it was much more that he was pre-
sented to the Democrats of all the other
states in the discreet and conciliatory man
ner which was wisely adopted. Boston

Coy. Seymour is quite incapable of
making mischief, and he is as incapable Of
allowing mischief to be made that he can
hinder. His letter on the Utica Herald S
calumny is perectly characteristic of him.
| If the hopes of the radicals aud jobbers of
New York have nothing better to feed on
than the chance of feud between the
friends of Horatio Seymour and the friends
Of Samuel j. Tilden, they are in a very
languishing way.-N T. World
| Mr.. Tilden is gaining every day, and
we would not be surprised if he should be
nominated at St. Louis on the first ballot.
He will have the support of the eastern
states and large share of the south He
will obtain the votes of the states on the
Pacific slope. We trust that he will have
the vote of Michigan, as he will of Wiscon
sin. We predict that Samuel j. Tilden
will be the next president.-Kdlan,azoo
Mich Gazette.
The prevailing sentiment among
thoughtful and well informed democrats il
in favor of lifelong democrat, whose
character and standing will command tht
respect of the people and the confidence
of the best element of the Republican party
which is looking to the Democrats for relief
men who, like Carl Schurz, have declared
their intention to vote for Democrat like
Bayard or Filden, if such man should b;
selected -BelleUiUe, III, Democrat.

of assault against that old offender

Scientific.

The emily satisfactory detective
of blood-stains, and the animal
from which they have been derived,
Is the microscope. When . very
thin film Of human blood is press
ed between two plates of glass, as
in ordinary microscopic work, and
If examined under a tolerably
high power Of the instrument, the
well known red fluid is seen in
reality to consist of. q perfectly
colorless liquid, known as the
serum, and of an immense number
of solid PARTICLES floating in this
liquid. These latter particles are
the blpod corpnscles; the vast ma
jority of these bodies appearing Of
q reddish-yellow hue, while q few
are seen to be of white color
Thus, the color of the blood is en-
tirely due to the presence of these
little globules, which exist in such
numbers that the fluid presents to
the unassisted sight q uniformly
red appearance. The blood of all
animals contains corpuscles or
globules of one kind or another;
and it is from the different clsarac-
ters presented by the blood glob-
ules of different animals that the
microscopsst is enabled to distin-
guish the vital fluid of one from
that of another.

Telling Of One Of the Mammoth
Trees.

Bayard Taylor, in his interesting
work entitled CLONE and Abroad y
thus describes the telling at one Of
the largest specimens of the Sierra
Nevada
"After q steady labor OF six
weeks the thing was done, but the
tree stood unmoved; SO straight
and symmetrical was its growth,
so immense waslits weight, and SO
broad its base, that it seemed un-
conscious of its own naturalization,
tossing its outward branches de-
risively against the mountain wind
that strove to overthrow it. A
neighboring pine of giant size was
then selected, and felled in such a
way as to fall with full force against
it. The top shook little, but the
shaft stood as before; finally the
despoilers succeeded in driving
their wedge into the cut. Ora
dually and with great labor, one
side of the tree was lifted; the
mighty mass poised for a moment,
and then, with q great rushing
sigh in all its boughs, Numbered
down. The forest was ground to
dust beneath it, and for Q mile
around the earth shook with the
cOncussion."
The mere telling of it cost, at
California prices for wages, the
sum of $3.50. The smooth top OF
the stump of the tree, which Mr..
Taylor saw fall, is floor ninety
feet round.

Skill Of q Chinese Thief.

John certainly deserves to take
rank among the most expert

his stolidity of feature; his looHe-
