Pen Picture of Gov. Hayes

\ week before the meeting. of the
Cincinnati convention, Don Piatt, of
the Washington Capital, drew the an.
nexed pen picture of Gov. Hayes.
The writer and the Governor are old
friends and life. long acquaintances,
ard the sketch is true to life:
This gent, man is mild type Of
disease that breaks out every fonr
years in the United States, called
"ta.o'iteis,n,' and belongs to class
that furnishes Mt times candidate
nominated by accident and elected
from necessity. lie differs from the
gems generally in being a prcmedi.
lated accident, if one can understand
that. TO get at the meaning by
cracking the kernal Of apparent con-
tradiction one must remember that
national conventions are generally
slaughter.houses, where each promi-
hent candidate, unwilling to die and
leave his recognized opponent victor
of the field, joins in d SUPPORT Of an
unknown, WILD, to Ills own amaze
ment as we'll as that of tile country,
is nominated tor tile presidency. Oh.
serving this, certain shrewd politi.
clans Of Ohio determined to possess
themselves Of the unknown in adj
vance. They pre-emptel him, as it
were !; so the presidential accident or
casualty is prepared.
Well, a worse fortune could Lefall
the country than such selection:
Rutherford B. Hayes never was sus:
bected of inventing gnnpowder, nor
nitro glycerlne, nor dynamite. In a
word, Rutherford IL rot open to the
imputation of being great man. He
could not if he tried, and l never
heard Of his trying. But he is a bet
ter article, and that is an honest.
honorable man, Of good culture, and
b gentleman. Were lie to survive
the establishment of his Inauguration
he would gather about him tile pur-
est, ablest and most eminent men in
the country Of which to make an ad-
ministration. Gov. Hayes has not
enjoyed much official distinction, and
has made very little Of what lie did
possess. Strange to say, he is pain
fully diftident. / am not ioking-it
Is q fact there is no pusl, in him,
and the few places held by him he
has been thrust into. This is the
reason he lived through two sessions
Of Congress without once opening his
mouth, so far rs the Record can tell
us. A shy, quiet gentleman is he,
to such an extent that I have seen
him blush like q girl at SOME word
Of praise uttered in his presence.
And this is tho man the Radical
party hope to put III the White House
On the 4th March next! The thing
Is simply ridiculous and the Ameri'
can people will never, never do any
such thing. After disgracing lis viii
their vile cortuptions in high and low
places, they want to cap the china,
BY electing, to the Office of President
mere blank.

In Algeria its cultivation was under
taken on a large scale. Some 1900 Eu-
calypti were planted in an extremely pes
tilcntal and unhealthy section, were fever
prevailed tO great extent every year
During the first year Of their growth, ut
tho time when the fever season used to
set IN, not a single case Of fever occurred,
