AJesse POmerOy Imitator.

The Montrose (Pa.) "Republican," of
last week says: "Francis Van Barrin ger, a
boy about twelve years of age, whose par
ents reside in Windsor, N. Y, appeared at
Great Bend village over week ago, rag
ged waif, sleeping in barns and subsisting
on what he could beg. On Thursday after
noon Of last week, he allured the little son
of Mr.. John Shipley, who is about five
years of age, and son of. B. McCreery,
aged about seven years, into the barn of
William Lusk, and locking the barn he told
the boys he was going to kill them. The
Reporter" of that place, thus describes
the actions of the young fiend AFTER get
ting young McCreery into the barn he strip
ped the boy of his clothing, and then pro-
ceeded to beat him with heavy strap, ,caus-
ing the blood to flow, until the little fellow
sank helpless to the floor. The juvenile
hend then placed the strap around his VIC
TINS neck and attempted to hang him to
the round of ladder. Just as the diaboli-
cal act was about to be consummated sew
eral boys rushed into the barn, and siezing
the demon dragged him by main force to
the office of Justice Dubois, from whence
he was sent to Jail. This timely interfer-
ence alone saved the life of McCreery.'"

MORGAN,S PUBLIC PAP.

If there is anybody beside Tweed who
has had his share of official pap, commend
Us to Edwin D. Morgan, the Republic
candidate for Governor of New York State.
See what he got:
He was President of the Board of As.
sistant Aldermen of New York, from May
1916 to Jan. 7, 1850. He represented the
18th ward.
He then went into the State Senate, was
reelected and served till 1858. In 1858
he was elected Governor, and was re-
elected, serving till 1868.
In that year he was elected to the U. S.
Senate for six years. At the end of tina,
time he spent $4,000 in bribing members
to re-elect him, but Fenton was too much
for him and he was defeated.
His name was mentioned as candidate
for the Presidency or the Vice-Presdency
at the late Cincinnati Convention, but he
had been SO badly bitten in his last legisla
tive bribery scheme that he would not ad
vance the necessary means to forward his
interests there.
Now he wants to be Governor again
Has he not had enoug gh? Most of his life
has been spent in office. His outrageous
slip commission, his sales of rotten ships
to the government through his cousin,
George D. Morgan, Chat is E. D. Morgan
& Co., to Secretary Welles, George DIS
brother-in-law, his swindling of the flour
merchants, his reputation Of gold con-
tracts, his frauds on the revenue in the
importation of unmanufactured wool ought
to be sufficient not only to defeat him by
sixty thousand majority, but to ostracise
him both politically and commercially.

BOOK NOTICES.

THE SANArARIAN AND ORGAN OF THE
MED1co-LEaAL SocrETY, for October IL
again welcome. The first article, contin'
uation from the September number on De
formities and their relation to Hygiene, con-
tains some useful information on the pre-
valence of deformities and their causes, but
should be shorn Of its pedantic quotations
of poetry in English and Latin. The rhymed
poem (s) on Air, is better fitted for some
popular physiology on infants than for such
q periodical as the one before US.
.sLife Insurance" and decisions in Mis-
souri,, should be read. We learn that some
of the school houses in Brooklyn are con-
structed without any regard to the health
OF comfort of the pupils. Professor Bour-
hardart, of France, condemns the use o.
yellow covers for hams, such as are used IN
Cincinnatti. He says the coloring matter
is chromate of lead, poisonous substance,
and suggests that some other yellow, If yel-
low must be used, such as turmeric, should
be substituted, The article on Impurities
in Drinking Water, should be read by our
Water Committee.

Napoleon's Wonderful Memory

The Emperor Napoleon was al Erfut. A
legion of kings and princes had come to
humble their crowns before his regent roy
atty. At one of the soirees which he gave
at this brilliant court the conversation
turned on an ancient pontifical bull, about
the date of which there was some doubt
An Austrian prelate indicated a period
which the Emperor contested. II am bet
ter Informed than your majesty on such
Subjects" said the prelate, "and think
am certain of what state"
"And for my part" replied the Emperor,
"I do not say believe; l say, am certain
you are deceived. Beside, the truth NAV be
easily ascertained; let such a work be
brought, and if am wrong, will hasten to
acknowledge it,"
The book was brought. The Emperor
was right. The whole assembly were as
tonished at such an excellent memory on
the part of one whose head was constantly y
occupied by crowd of other subjects.
"When was lieutenant" said the en-
peror. These simple words, "when l was a
Lieutenant" produced singular effect on
all present; all the representatives of the
old monarchies looked at each other smiling.
''When had the honor to be lieutenant of
artillery" continued the emperor in louder
tone, 81 remained two years in garrison in
city of Dauphin, which had but single
circulating library. l read three times the
whole collection, and not word of what
read at that period ever escaped me. The
title of the book which has just been brought
figured on the list. I read it with the rest.
and, as you have seen, have not forgotten
its contents"

Notes and Opinions.

That little affair at Hell Gate was but a
ripple compared with what awaits the Re-
publican party in Indiana.
The Milford "News" thinks that the Rev.
j. B. Mann, of New Castle, would make a
slashing candidate for Congress on the
Temperance ticket.
District Representation, as matter of
interest irrespective of party atiiliation, is
haunting the editorial rooms of the Milford
"News."
In the name Of the new paper started at
Chesapeake City, and called the "Chesa-
peake Chesapike," more attention is paid to
ALTERATION than euphony in name.
The Republicans claim that it will be all
a White Mans party in Kent county, as
twelve hundred colored voters failed to be
assessed.
The howl of the dog tax does not come
up from Sussex any more as Republican
campaign cry for that county.
The Richmond "Dspatch," in we'll
written article on social ostracism, which
every one knows is practised for political
opinion in the South, says that in the North
Republicans would socially ostracise Demo-
Gratis eff they could"
There is great deal Of dissatisfaction in
General Garfcld's district with him on
account of his opposition to the old Ameri-
can silver dollar.
A drama, written by some one we'll &C
quainted with the true inwardness of the
present administration, entitled "Thieves
and Rascals," would give Babcock an ex-
cellent opportunity to distinguish himself as
one OF the heroes.

How He trapped Her.

A gentleman who was obliged to ride
over the Woonsocket branch of the New
York and New England railroad, and had
been greatly annoyed by having packages
stolen from him in the cars, concluded to
trap the thief. He procured a long,
striped snake, put him in collar box, and
on entering the cars laid II on the seat be-
side him Soon portly old lady came
pulling into the car and took seat be-
side the gentleman in question, who was
apparently absorbed in reading an evening
paper. ltwasn't long before the box dis
appeared under shawl, and her curiosity
soon led her to open the box to look at her
prize, and the snake glidpd into her lap.
The scene can be better imagined than de-
packages.

North Carolina for Tilden.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Com
mercial.
Notwithstanding the very gallant fight
which Judge Settle is making, and the
almost universal esteem in which he is held
here, see no probability of his election, or,
at least, but very small probability. He
will run al cad of his ticket, but abont 12, 900
behind an election. l look for Vance to
carry the State from 10000 to $4,000, ard
Tilden probably 10000.
Since the Civil Rights excitement North
Carolina has been undeniably Democratic
The Legislature is two to one Democratic
Both Senators are Democrats. Every mem
ber of Congress but one is Democratic. The
Governor only is Republican, and he
because he was elected four years ago, before
the Civil Rights tidal wave swept over this
State, and carried it bodily into the Demo-
cratic party. Before that firebrand was
thrown into the South there were counties
in this State where the white voters were
more than two to one Republican Think
of that, and then curse the stupidity and
malice and recklessness of the Repubii can
majority in the Senate and Congress.

Personal Mention.

The Republicans expect some good speak
| ing In the State canvass from Hon. N. b
Smithers and Col Jacob Moore of Sussex
county.
Gov. Tilden's delay in answering the
charges made against him, is used by Re-
publicans as proof Of guilt. 1t is surprts-
ing that he answered at all such scurrilous
and unfounded charges.
Robson and Belknap are the same to the
Republican party as the on man of the sea
was to Sinbad's shoulders.
The man who said "Let us Have Peace,
has flooded the South with bayonets.
1t is pity Professor Huxley left so soon
or he might have enlightened us in his theo-
ry on evolution from what some think the
Temperance Movement is evolved.
If the temperance people want clerical
man for Congress, Rev. Fielder Israel
would make slashing speech maker.
Mr., George W. Wells says it will be hard
to tell how the Temperance Convention
sbduuS uull Iuc eAlAtAuS COIAebs
In Chicago "a heartless young radical calls
Tilden "TheO Old- -Man-afraido OLA Mother
in-Law."
John Kelly, Chief sach.m of Tammany,
will vieit Massachusetts and advocate the
election of Charles Francis Adams.
The New York "Herald" thinks it is not
likely that Babcock will be convicted, but
the evidence shows that the case may well
be said to embody the romance of crime.
An earthquake has struck the Republican
party, according to the St. Louis "Republi-
can," and split into fight between the re-
form and administration elements. Hayes
is on the fence but leaning slightly towards
the reformers.
The New York "Herald" says Senator
Bayard is setting a good example in his
speeches.

WHAT we shall say here is justice to the
rights of the people Of Wilmington to be
protected from monopolies. The steam
boat FELTON, which has been leaving this
city for many years making excursion
trips has been withdrawn so far as the
morning trips are concerned, and this is
with no other view than to give the travel
all to the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad company. This COM
pany as we reminded our readers some
time ago, has made no reduction in rates Of
travel between this city and the Centen-
NAL, and this last attempt to force the
people Of Wilmington toIpay them ex-
travagant prices is the worst advantage we
have yet heard Of being taken Of a mo-
nopoly in travel.

The cry which comes up to us from
Georgia, is one tina. cannot be resisted by
the humane of all sections. Not only has
the dread disease spread through the State
like besom of destruction, carrying off
hundreds, but close in its wake follows the
additional horror of suffering. In many
of the scourged localities, the people are
suffering for food and medicine. Mr.. E.
T. Warner of this city, will receive any
contributions that may be made by the
citizens Of Wilmington, and through the
kindness of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, they will be transferred to Sa-
yannah free of charge.

TINE LlBELOUs .sTIMKs'' ~
TRACTB.

The "rimes" retracts fully it's allegation
about Governor Tilden's fees in 1862 from
the Toledo and Wabash Railroad. On
September Sth, it paraded, in its famous
parallel column exhibit, the item, "Feef
from the Toledo and Wabash Road during
the year, $l5,O00." On September 2lst it
says, in discussing Judge Sinnott's letter
"Fifh-It is asserted that the Toledo
and Wabash Railroad Company never was
client of Mr.. Tilden, and that neither in
1862 nor at any other time did he receive
any fees from it. That we must accept as
conclusive. Proof of our charge was
promised from authorities in which we had
confidence, but in its absence that item
must be withdrawn"
1t retracts fully, but, of course, it retracts
like sneak. Caught in an absolute and
unlounded lie, it seeks the usual refuge Of
cowardly calumniators, and whines, ''Some
fellow told me so." By its own statement
it is convicted of a worse crime than that
with which it charged Governor Tilden.
1t accused citizen Of highest standing and
brightest name of perjury upon the mere
gossip Of some irresponsible gabbler. More
than this, it plainly asserted, and solemnly
averred, that all of its statements were GER
tain, definite and susceptible Of legal proof
1t committed tie very crime with which it
falsely charged Tilden, and stands self
convicted, lying calumniator and coward.
1t committed even greater crime in try
ing, by bare-faced falsehood, to cheat a
whole people out of their suffrages in an
election Of vital importance. The "Times"
is selfbranded conspirator, not merely |
against individual good name, but against
the rights and liberties of forty millions of
people, Of course, the statement "that
proof was promised from authorities in
whom we had confidence is only another
lie-the old characteristic lie of the sneak |
and coward.

The Coming Age Of Virtue.
From the New York Herald.l

With Hayes at the head of the govern
ment Belknap will become the perfection OF
chivalric honor, Robson will scorn to allow
dollar of the public money to slip into the
pockets of middlemen and their friends,
Babcock and Porter will join the Church
and forswear jobs, Chandler will enlist in
the crusade started by Moody and Sankey,
and Boss Shepherd will go into monas-
terry. We are told in the good book that
there is JOY 10 heaven over one sinners that
repenteth more than over ninety and nine
just men who need no repentance. Wash
ington ia not exactly heaven, yet we may
we'll consent to abandon our prosecution OF
sinners and to hold jubilee over their con-
versation when the next natio nal admins
tration shall be inaugurated.

At Mars Bluff "a few days ago,a large mum.
ber OF colored Radicals threatened few col.
