From IEaTpct's Weekly
We have never questioned or doubted
the good int ntiOns OF the President; but
it can not be denied that, at least, he has
been most sadly deceived and disastrously
counseled. And can any one who, hav.
ing had the opportunity Of warning and
protesting and Of saving him from gricv-
GUS mistakes and fatal influences, has
either approved or been silent, be said to
have rendered great service to the partyS
What greater service to the Republican
party could any Senator, for instance,
have performed than resisting the nom.
nation Of Shepherd, or sustaining in
every way the good work OF Mr.. Bristow,
or aiding with sincerity and vigor the
Presidents proposal for reform OF the
civil service system? To have failed in
such duties Is not great party service;
iOr party Of intelligence and patriot
ism, like the Republican, is most truly
served by those who hold ii to the high.
est standard, and commend il to the proud
support Of its most unsel6sh elements.
New York cannot 10 recovered 10 the
Republicans by the force Of the machine,
The vote Of the State is too nearly bal
Anced, the Democratic position here ia
too advantageous, and Republican indie
Nndence and courage too inaexible, to
permit the superstition that the State can
lie carried by any candidate merely be-
cause he is nominated at Cincinnati. He
must represent all that honorable Repub'
leans demand, and not be absolutely
identified with all that they most regret
'nd deplore and disavow.

Snun Dipping Destroys Beauty
and Even Ruins their Calves.

From the HoPkinsVllls, tEy.), Democrat
Talk about the opium eater or the whis
ky drinker, how much more are they to be
pitticd than the lady who is addicted 10
dipping snuff We believe there Is more
snuff used in Hopkinsvillo than in any
other place oil lis size in Kentucky, and
its use Is steadily on the increase. Hop
kinsyilIe has reputation for beautiful
women, but how long that reputation
will last It's hard to tell. Some OF the
prettiest women we knew ten or twelve
years ago are now nothing but faded how-
ers. Lips that once looked like ripe
cherries, and for one kiss from which q
man would almost give his right arm,
now look more like dried apples than
anything else we can think Of. The cheek
once full and rosy Is now sunken and
colorless. The chin, which looks longer,
now glories in a bronze-colOred stripe,
which reaches down the throat.
We were going down street the other
day, and noticed 4 lady coming up. 1t
was a windy March day, and the lady's
skirts we're lifted little above her boot
tons, We know the aristocratically arched
foot, but hang it! what has become OF
the nicely rounded ankle? It wasn't
there. When we got near enough to
look into the lady's face We knew that
snuff had done its work. Snuff is rob-
bling women Of their beauty and depriving
them OF husbands. 1t is more harmful
than smoking, and more repulsive than
chewing, and its use by ladies is almost
as much to be condemned "a the drink
ing Of whisky by men; and II the ladies
have grounds to talk about men drinking
and smoking, they are assured that snuff
dipping in the eyes OF men is about as
repulsive as the smell Of two.cent.and-
a.half cigar, or snif OF "rihe" whisky
TO the olfactories OF the fair sex.
We indulge the hope that soon there
will be an anti.snutf society formed,
which will be twin sister Of our tenn
perance society. We have no idea how
many ladies in our city will take excep.
ton to this article. II all that use smut
were to get after us We would call their
name legion, but we are upheld in our
action By some. Of the most sensible
mothers in town 10 entering 4 protest
against habit the adoption Of which BY
a girl is almost as much to be dreaded
by a parent as is the first taste OF liquor
by his boy.

What Threatens the Centennial.

From the New York wOrId.l
It is time to say that the success Of the
Centennial Exhibition is gravely imper-
lied.
FTra-There will be on the opening
day (the 10th OF next month) q serious
lack Of American furniture at hand, and
some Of the foreign departments will be
10 partial chaos.
Second-Thc inefficient methods Of ad-
vertising adopted by the Centennial Com
mission, with no positive assurance
against local extortions, have set people
At thinking twice about spending their
money at the Big Show.
Third-The railroad companies have
made an extraordinary blundcr in re-
ducing their passenger rates to and FROM
Philadelphia only twenty-five per cent.
Negro minstrel troupes and opera and
theatre companies can get better terms
any time of the year.
The managers Of the Exhibition have,
in some directions, displayed unpreced-
ented ability and resources. The build
nE5 are excellent. Many arrangements
for public convenience, health and COM
tort which were wanting ut London, Par
i. and Vienna, are nearly completed at
Philadelphia. But it is n great pity il
Governor Hawley, the President Of the
Centennial Commission, and Mr.. Welsh,
the President OF the Centennial Board Of
Finance, have been so much engrossed by
the details OF their respective depart
u.en,s IA to omit any, endeavor to check
apprehensions which exist all over the
country that at will cost too much to 60
to the Big Show" That widespread ap-
prehension to this effect prevails,
il fact that there is no use in
concealing. It's testified to by our coun-
try exchanges from all quarters OF the
Union, and by railroad agents in divers
places. These are hard times. Western
and Southern merchants would like to
unite with their business in New York, a
visit to the Centennial exhibition with
their families; but If prices are too high,
wives and children will stay at home.
The promoters OF stock shows and coun-
try fairs are everywhere holding out I'M
usual inducements to keep the country
people from spending their money out
side Of their own neighborhoods.
The railroad companies should an
nounce half-rates Immediately, and the
Centennial Commission should publish
an authoritative schedule OF living
prices at and near Philadelphia.

Wanted u Testimonial.
+ From the Danbury News

They had quarrelled Sunday evening
He cot mad aud swore he'd leave her, Then
she got vexed and told him he could 40 as
he pleased. He left. The next night be
came around again. He asked to see hel
alone. She readily complied. She was all
of tremor. Her heart went out to him
in gush of sympathetic love. She stood
ready to throw her arms around his neck
and cry out her joy. There was not much
color in his face and his voice was husky
He said
~ have been with you six months, Ma
tilda, and tried in all that time to 90 what
was right" He paused an instant to re-
cover the voice which was faltering rapidly
while her trembling increased. II know
that have got considerable temper, and
that do not control it always as l ought.
But I have tried to be faithful to you, tried
to do everything that l thought would lead
to make you happy. And feeling this
have called tonight to see If you would be
kind enough to give me q sort OF testlmo
NAL to that effect, so that could show II
to any other young lady1 might want tc
90 with, It might help me-"
He looked at her anxiously. All the
color left her face in flash. She made
great effort to swallow something which
threatened to choke her. Then she spoke
"You get out of this house as quick al
YOU can, you miserable whelp, or my fathel
shall kick you out" -,
"He didn't toy with time. He left with

A Musical Dog.
From the Troy Whig.1

A gentleman in this city is the ownsr of
. small Scotch terrier that shows decided
taste for music. A young lady, his daughter,
is taking lessons on the piano, ard maDy
hours are given to practice. One day when
the dog was In the room he showed great
interest in the piano: He jumped upon the
table and looked at it, ran under and around
it, and leaped upon It, and peered into 1t as
II trying to find out where the sound came
from. One day when the young lady was
playing the dog tried to initiate the notes.
Afterward, while she was practicing, the
dog almost daily tried to sing. He did not
bark nor howl, as dogs will Otter do at the
sound of bells. Although he could not pro-
nounce ia, sol, la, mi do, &C., he succeeded
in good imitation of the sounds, and could
cause his voice to rise and fall with the
notes. All this was at first in the presence
only of the young lady. When she told her
mother and invited her to be present the dog
would not sing. By and by, however, his
fondpess for music overcame his bashful-
ness, and he would sing in the presence Of
the two ladies. Afterward other members
of the family we're called in, and now the
dog, having conquered his modesty and
gained confidence in his musical powers,
will exhibit his musical talents In the pres
ence of any company. He is certainly a
wonderful dog, and if properly encouraged
may learn to talk as well as sing, and be.
come living proof of the Darwinian theory
of evolution.
