NAST's latest picture of the Demo-
cratic ticket--a tiger head on each end
ofits body, and pulling both ways, sug-
gest the fable of the quarrel between
the head and tail of snake for the lead.
Just now there is a contest between
the head and tail of the Democratic
ticket as to whic shall lead and
whether hard of soft money shall be
the financial policy of the canvass.

GEN. JAMES ii. LUTTE, of Iowa, q
war Democrat without any secession
procliyities, has come out in power
full speech in favor OF Hayes and
Wheeler. He was the Democratic can
didate for Governor in 1868, and staid
with the Democracy up till the present
year, but the present Congress and the
st. Louis Convention has been too
much for him. OF course the Courier
will say it is not so.
And now we have another. The
Tilden Club of Albany, n. Y, elected
Mayor P. II. Grady captain of their
company, and apprised him of the
honor conferred. They counted with
out their host, for thus he spoke to
them:
''As a war Democrat | claim the
right to vote for patriotic and honest
Union soldier in preference to a man
whose selfishness and partisanship
have always been more conspicuous
than his patriotism; and l claim fur
ther that do not forget my rights as
a member of the Democratic party by
doing So"

The Atlanta Times endorses him as
follows:
"With the record of his services in
che late war written in indeIllble char
acters upon his manly form, his friends
and countrymen have no apology to
make for him"
His record was made in the Rebel
army, and his propensity to shoot down
unarmed prisoners, because they were
black and Republicans, needs no apol-
ogy from his confederate friends,

NEW YORK, August 1st, 1876.
DRY WEATHER.
1t has been fearfuily dry in the city
all the summer, so much so that seri-
ous fears were at one time entertained
that the water supply of the city
might fail. New York is supplied from
one source, Croton river. and the water
for the entire city is brought in one
pipe. Imagine the distress that would
be occasioned if, by any accident, that
pipe should be destroyed! Imagine q
million of people without waterl But,
as dry as it has been in the city, it is
nothing to what our neighbors in New
Jersey have suffered. The whole State
is as dry as a powder horn, and the
loss to the farmers and gardeners will
be immense. The vegetable crop is
nearly total loss, the berries dried up
on the bushes, and the apples are fall
ing from the trees. In parts water has
been procured for house purposes with
difficulty, and stock has suffered terri
bly,. So hot and dry a season has not
been known for eighty years.

cepted an invitation TO spend his summer
vacation at his sisters house III the couu-
try and look after two lttlc children dur
ing the absence of the aforesaid sister
and husband. The story Of his sojurn
is amusingly told and shows that the
writer has incontestably had experience
in the life he describes. The childred he
describes are real children, with all their
charming, annoying, fascinating, vexa-
tious and bewildering ways. They talk
like children and act like children, and
scarcely a parent will read it without
recognizing some traits which lie relieves
peculiar to his own offspring. Nor is the
story wholly confined to the juveniles.
Other characters come in in the proper
places, and charming little love-idyl
is really the principal motive of the story.
There is freshness and originality about
the book which commend it to the reader,
and we risk nothing in saying that it is

Visiting Niagara.

We have often and continually heard
of the outrageous charges, and unmercI-
full ''flcecing" which a visitor to Niagara
Falls is compelled to undergo, un.ess he
has some friend who has been there and
knows the ropes who has posted him
in regard to getting around and seeing
the sights at that interesting place. Dur
ing his recent visit east, Rev. S. A. Lee,
Of. Marion, stopped off at the Falls with
the intention of going about to various
points of interest there, and while he did
not desire to appear stingy or parslmori-

following objections, which if observe
will save many annoyances and consider
able money, and at the same time enable
a person to see all there is to be seen.
Those of our friends who still intend to go
east this season. or any other season, VIII
do well to cut this out for reference.
When you visit Niagara, save hVe or
ten dollars by reading the following adj
vice: Purchase your Rail Road ticket TO
Niagara Village or Falls Depot. Then
leave your baggage in the Depot and walk
five blocks to the Park which incloses the
American side of the Falls. You pur'
sc a ticket for fifty cents which VIII
allow YOU to pass in and out of the Park
all day and give you ride down the in
clined railway to the bed of the river
also, including passage cver the river by
boat and return, from the Canada side.
After crossing over to the Canada side,
by walking a quarter Of "a mile up from
the landing YOU will have seen the Fal
from all desirable stand points. Should
you prefer to cross the river over the up
per Suspension Bridge, the cost would not
be much more but the walk would be a
quarter of mile longer, and in that case
you need only single ticket to the Park
which would be twenty-five cents. AVOID
If possible all carriages, especially on the
Canada side, and particularly the Whirl
Pool and such-like swindles, unless you
wish to spend money uselessly.
