There is at least one class of people in the
United States who are happy. In recent
speech in the House of Representatives Mr.
Springer, of Illinois, describes them thus:
Let panics come and sweep down the great
business houses of the land like a tornado does
the giant oaks; let the foods descend and
destroy whole regions of growing crops; let
the grasshopper like the plaques Of Egypt,
light upon the western states and consume
every green substance; let debts Cypress and
mortgages harass; let crops fail and railroads
go into the hands of receivers let all these
things and worse befall Others, there is one
class of our people who are undisturbed.
They are the offceholders They care not
"for the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
nor the destruction that wasteth at monday"
Come what may they are still happy with
confidence upon the credulity of the people
and the Senate Of the United States to protect
them.

ROCKVILLE, August 10th, 1877


TO lie Citizens Of Montgomery County;
On the 9th day Of September, 1876, Mont
gomery county will be one century old, and
and it is both proper and desirable that the
day should be appropriately celebrated. -
Looking 20 that end number of the most
far perfected arrangements that Basket Pic
Mic and Celebration will be held at the Fair
Grounds in Rockville, on the county's Cen
tennal Anniversary. 1t is desirable that the
occasion should be made as attractive as pos
sible and in addition to orations, reading of
poem &c, an exhibition of relics and objects
Of interest connected with the Revolutionary
War and the early history Of the county
would tend greatly TO the success Of the pro-
ject. 1t is well known that there are gBeat
many relics and objects Of interest connected
with said periods in the possession Of citizens
of the county. 1t is earnestly desired that they
will not only support and assist in making
the occasion success by their presence but
that they will bring such relics, &c, with them
for display on that occasion. The Agricul-
tura! Society has very kindly allowed the use
of their grounds and buildings for the occa-
sion, and all articles of value or such as are
liable to be injured can be deposited in the
glass cases in the Hall for exhibition, SO that
persons need have no fears os damage to their
property. The promoters of the celebration
hope that there will be a full turn out and
that citizens will make the display IS large as
possible ii. W. TALBOT,

THE SMALLEST OF THE GIRLs.-A large
number OF physicians went TO Tony Pastors
Theatre Thursday 10 see the Mexican dwarf
Lucia Iarate. They measured her and ascer-
tanned her height to be twenty inches,
her feet three inches long, her legs be-
low the knee four inches in circumference,
and her hands an inch and a quarter broad
Her mother, who is robust and of medium
size, says that Lucia is twelve years Old
Her face is older than that. Her features are
Spanish, and complexion dark Her activity
is incessant. She played pranks with the
physicians and talked fast in Spanish.
She stepped into high silk hat, crouched
down, aud was out of sight excepting her
head She squeezed one of her pliable little
hands through rather large finger ring. The
hand of an adult made ample seat for her.
Standing on chair, and holding TO the back
of it, her fingers stuck through The spaces in
the canework-hoes that just admitted the
passage of a small penholder. She was moi
weighed, but her weight is said to be five
pounds and, poised in the hand, she does
not seem heavier. Her clothing is comieally
small, as though intended Cor doll. the
shoes and stockings especially being toylike
Tom Thumb has grown appreciable since
he was exhibited by Barnum; but when he
first astonished the public he was twice as
large as Lucia, and he was then about heI
present age. She has not grown any, hel
mother says, since she was a year old.

The Baltimore Gazette says the "record of
the Republican party" is properly the rec
ord of the men who are now running it. The
great period of the Republican party is the
record of Lincoln, Chase, Seward, Sumner
and Greeley. The record of the party as ii
stands is the record Of Grant, Belknap, Bah
cock, Boss Shepherd, Tom Murphy, Orvil
Grant Schenck and gentlemen Of that sort.
Blaine, Speaker of the House, represents it in
one branch of the national legislature, Colfax
in the other branch Williams in the Depart
ment of Justice Delano in the Indian Depart
ment, Schenck in diplomacy, Belknap in the
War Department, Creswell in the Postofiice;
old Zach Chandler represents civil service re-
form, and Lieutenant Colonel Freddy Grant,
on his rocking horse, with his little drum and
tin sword, represents promotion in the army
for gallantry in the field. That is a record that
is hard to beat. Now to this must be added
the personal record of Governor Hayes. In
war obscure, in peace insignificant; retiring
in his military life, aggressive in subsidies on
a peace establishment, peaceful in time of war,
warike and bloody-shred in time Of peace
cast into prominence by the storm of the Gin
cinnati convention, and dry nursed by Mr..
Cameron, the good, sympathetic Mr.. Hayes
completes the record

TIE ALABAMA ELECTION. returns from
the Alabama election, which took place on
Monday, indicate a clear sweep by the demo-
Gratis, Gov Houston and the entire democratic
State ticket being elected by minority esti-
mated as high as 10000, together with an
overwhelming majority OF both branches OF
the Legislature. All Of the congressional dis
tricts have also gone democratic with perhaps
one exception. As far as heard from there
was not single disturbance of any kind in
the State, and the utmost good feeling pre-
vailed everywhere In 1872 President Grant
carried the State of Alabama by l0,s2S ma
jority, bu: in 1874 Gov. Houston, dem, was
elected by 10, 100 majority. The success Of
the democrats on legislative ticket secures the
election of democratic United States Senator
in the place of the Hon. George Goldthwaite,
democrat, whose term expires March 4th, 1877.
As the firstg of the presidential campaign
the result in Alabama is fraught with con-
siderable political significance, indicating, as
it docs, that the entire electoral vote OF the
Southern States, with the possible exception Of
South Carolina, will be cast for the democratic
presidential and vice-presidential candidates

Mir. Rice, of the c. P. and s. P. K. R.

His object in travelling, We infer, is to giv, his princi- pals correct information with regard to the resources of the different sections through which surveys have been made, in order that they may be the better prepared to judge of the relative merits of routes. He has already observed marked difference in favor of the Central over the Southern DOT tion. He has not yet visited the extreme north, but will no doubt be equally pleased with the mining resources of Mohave.
