There is no place within the gates
where you hear SO many absurd
speeches as you do among the art
treasures; SO, while stood half
dreaming over these old missals, a
party Of gentlemen were examining
the intaglios. One, most beautifully
perfect In its cutting, represents Nep-
tune with his trident and some other
emblem of the sea near him. Said
the gentlemen "Look here, Joe
See that old party with the pitchfork
going for crab !"

missals. That remark scattered sen.
timent to the winds.

The arithmetic man is abroad in

them let loose upon a sorely afflicted
people. The most stnpendOus Ready

He has been continually figuring up
democratic victories in advance, for

democratic defeat, he has. shown such
remarkable democratic gains as to be
fully an CAPITALIZATION the slight mat

necessary to inform our readers that
the World man has Tilden at this
particular time, elected by an over
whelming majority. In fact, we are
inclined to the opinion that he will
have relected, him ly an unanimous
vote before the election comes Off OF
course, after the result, when it il
announced, that Hayes and Wheeler
have carried the country by the usu'
al Republican majority, we shall have
from this genius a brilliant array Of
tables, showing that the democratic
ticket has gained everywhere, and
that it is nly;a question of time about
the triumph of that party! .,
The Chicago Times also has bril-.
liant idiot, who is figuring in the
election of Tilden from day to day.

gigantic intellect on the Senatorial

OPENING SPEECH.

6ANHISOWS OPENING SPeeCH.
Gen. B. II. Harrison began his can
vass for Governor of Indiana, at Dan.
vile, on the 18th inst.
He had only a single sentence for
Hendricks, which was that if he had
said anything or done anything in
favor of his country in her hour
of trial, history had failed to record
il. He began by explaining that he
had in the start declined to allow the
use of his name for the Governorship
only for purely personal reasons, not
approaching the high honor which
this nomination would confer, not be-
cause he feared to enter the contest,
which he was convinced, and had
been for months, must end in Re-
publican victory. He then reviewed
at some length and in strong terms
the history of the democratic party,
claiming that as an organization, it
was disloyal to the country. This
kind of talk or trust that all is not
quiet i'm the South is called waving of
the bloody shirt. 1t is an expression
with which he had no patience, for ii
was an insult to the loyal soldiers who
had fought for the nations life. He
then took up the record of Tilden.
beginning with the letter of 1860,
which he characterized as the utter
ance of a secessionist, reading several
portions of it and commenting upon
them at length with much severity.
He then took up in order the letter to
Mr.. Russell, showing that Tilden held
the same sentiments in March, 1861,
and again proved the same thing by
his refusal to take part in the war, by
his writing again in April, 1861, and
by his Chicago peace resolution OF
1864. He then dealt with Tilden Of
an ally of Tweed and sham reform
err. The speaker was frequently ap.
plauded.

what an Enterprlslne soy Old.

At this season of the year the boys
out of school are taxing their wits to
the utmost tension to find something
to do to procure pocket money, if not
to assist their parents. One of the
happiest and most original devices
for this end that it has been my
chance to hear of, is that of a lad who
invaded Brooklyn, and noticing the
unusual number Of kerosene lamps in
use in that city Gas the result Of q
practical war on the gas companies),
he solicited the job Of taking care OF
the same for several storekeepers.
His price was modest-ten cents per
week for each lamp-for which sum
he agreed to trim aud keep clean the
lamp, brush out the chimney, etc.
His success surprised him. He soon
got fifty lamps to look after, and then
his work increased SO that he engaged
an assistant, paying him stated sal
airy, while he, as "boss," took the or
ders. This young man has the care
of several hundred lamps ON Fulton
street, alone, and employs two other
lads to help him. His weekly income
and profit amounts to $25, which 10 far
better than running errands or at
tending stores, as many lads do in
this city for pittance of two or three
dollars a week. The idea has proved
SO successful that 1t is quite likely to
prove an established Institution in
Brooklyn, and will ultimately cross
the river to New YOrk.-Erchange.

1t is agreed upon all hands that the
Congress which has just adjourned
made the most fuss and accomplished
the least good of any body which
ever assembled in Washington.
1t was two-thirds Confederate, the
eighty odd Greyback Brigadier Gen.
erals in that body being its leading
spirits.
The Chicago Times, as all know, il
the leading western organ of Tilder
and Reform. The following para
graph is taken from its issue OF Tho
18th inst, which is a more truthful
item than we are in the habit of find
ing in that paper:
elias the Congress fulfilled thu
promise of the party bishops who as
sared us that ssthe party" would move
toward the specie basis? Has it full
filled the promise Of the party bish
ops who assured us that it woulC
move towards the fools paradise OF
rags? It has done neither. 1t has
taken not the first step in either di
rection. For eight months continu'
ously, it has stood exactly in the atti
tude of the ass between two stacks Of
hay, unable to move an inch toward
either. 1t has failed utterly in tht
performance of a single promise
which the professional party proph
cts made. 1t has enacted the part O
a cheat throughout. It has chcate.
the hopes of honest-money men b,
formulating resolves that have never
been acted upon. 1t has cheated tn,
hopes of the imitation fanatics by pass
ing a futile repeal Of the resumption
act, well-knowing that it would no
take effect. 1t has labored for eigh
months to divert public attention
from its non-fulfillment, and from it
non-attempt to fulfill single politi

were chosen, by pretentious and well
advertised investigations of officia
scoundrelisin. which for the mos

A Dog Detective Of Duluth.
To the Editor Of the Philadelphia Times.

In the letter you published IRON
Duluth, dated the 18th of July, men,
ton was made of the loss of the
steamer st. Clair on Lake Superior.
Among the passengers lost was q man
named Steward, of Duluth. He had q
small English spaniel, which swan
ashore. The dog was we'll known at
Duluth and along the Northern Pa
cific railroad, and was remarkable for
his intelligence and sagacity. His
owner was employed by the North
ern Pacific road to measure timber
delivered by contractors. The dog
would take the end of the tape line
and 20 to the end of a log 60 or 70
feet long, and hold it at the end while
his master would hold it at the other,
and do this all day, or until the tim
Der was measured. His master would
send him to the postofice, simply say
ing to him, go up-get letters" the
dog would 90 to the postofice and &c
around to one of the clerks, look at
him, wag his tail, and was SO well
known that the clerk would give him
the letters, which he would carry
back to his master, and in the same
way would carry letters which his
master had written to the Office to be
mailed. His scent was very acute
Coming home from the woods one
day, Stewart was met on the road by
q party of young people, who had
been on q picnic about half q mile
away. One of the young ladies had
left her parasol on the ground. Stew.
art called his dog, and pointing to the
path, said, go find, and bring here
The dog was gone about fifteen OF
twenty minutes, and returned will
the parasol. A pile of lumber put in
Stewards charge was being stolen
Stewart called his dog, took him te
the pile, and said, "Watch it and sec
who takes it," Two or three days
afterward the dog came to him in the
morning, and by signs familiar to his
master, told him to follow him
Stewart took a policeman with him
and told the dog to 60 on, and he led
them about a quarter of mile, to a
shanty, occupied by Swede, on the
bank Of lake. They looked under
the shanty, and saw o large pile o.
boards. The Swede was arrested
taken before the justice, and Stewart
told the justice what the dog had
done. The justice at once convicted
the Swede of the larceny. A grea
many other doings of the dog arr
known to the people of Duluth, AMI
it Is to be hoped that he will fall int
good hands.
