The Philadelphia North American
concludes an exhaustive article upon
phenomenal politics" as follows {:
The idea that any order can get
any serious advantage of any other
order or all of the other orders in
society by withdrawing from the
common pull and setting up for
itself is simple absurd. And such a
withdrawing is impossible. Here
we have Acknowledgements ticket
afield in Pennsylvania, and upon
that ticket there is not a single
Workingman-not one. 1t is a farce.
Were it not humiliating it would
be laughable. The very first thing
the workingmen have done is to go
ourside of the guild for leaders. Is
it neces sary to say that no party can
survive such a confession of weak
ness? But were it possible to succeed
under such auspices, in what would
the political situation be changed?
In nothing. Every candidate in the
field is ready to pledge himself to
protect the interests of workingmen
and one man, not WOrkingmap, is
as likely to redeem the pledge as
any other"

The Mobile Register recently spoke
of Abraham Lincoln as buffoon, and
got a fitting rebuke from the New
Orleans Times, which says: ave be-
lieye this unfortunate utterance is tue
only instance in which any Southern
paper has spoken with disrespect of
the Union war President within the
last ten years. The Southern people
habitually allude to Mr.. Lincoln
with an expression of esteem for
his honesty and patriotism not un-
like the consideration in which, on
the other hand, the Northern people
hold the memory of Lee"

THE OHIO ELECTION.


CoLUMAus, o., Oct. 10, ! a. M
The Democratic committee claim the
election of Bishop by from 10000 to
1000, and also a majority in both
branches of the General Assembly.
The Republican committee concede
Bishops election by over 10000, but
are in doubt about the Assembly.
There is no basis for computing the
number of votes cast by the two
workingmen's parties, but it is sup
posed to be considerable, as it is
claimed that they cast $4,000 votes in
Hamilton county alone.
1t will be noticed that the Demo-
cratic gains come largely from Repub-
lican strongholds in the Western Re
serve. In one township near ODER
lin the Democrats gained 325 votes.
The Republican committee, in Civ
ing the reason for this falling of in
their vote, say it is caused by the Re
publicans who abstained from voting,
they intending in this way to show
their dissatisfaction with the Presi-
dents Southern policy.

RESUMPTION OF WORK.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Congress-
man Schleicheer is reported to have
said to-day that he expects any time
to hear of fresh troubles on the Rio
Grande. He thinks that the next
important news from that country
will be that the MeXicans Of the State
Of Tamaulipas have invaded the adj
jacent territory in the United States.
He bases these approximations upon
private letters from his district,
which comprises the entire Rio
Grande border country, and upon the
tone of Mexican newspapers, publish
ed just over the border, which have
recently reached him. These papers
openly say that they would advise
the Secretary of War to rescind his
order to Gen. Ord before he makes
himself ridiculous, as he knows that
he is powerless to enforce 1t. The
same newspapers contain threats that
the next invasion of territory may
be over the Rio Grande border from
north to south. Mr.. Schleicheer says
that no additional legislation is
needed to protect the border. The
order to General Ord is sufficient,
All that is needed is troops enough
to enforce it.

ROBERT DALE OWEN, LID,
whose death recently occurred, was
the eldest son of Robert Owen, the
English social reformer, and with
him came to the United States in
1923, when he was ten years old.
His birthplace was New Lanark,
Scotland. He allied himself with
the Democratic party, representing
those political views in congress
from lS43 to lS47. He took a
prominent part in the organization
of the Smithsonian Institute, and
was one Of the first regents. In
1853 he was appointed by Presi-
dent Pierce charge d'affaires at
Naples, where he remained till 1858.
Mr.. Owen was a pronounced brit
ualist and socialist. He wrote
several works, among them New
Views of Society" Hints on Pub
lie Architecture published by the
Smithsonian Institute), footballs
on the Boundaries of Another
World" "The Wrong of Slavery
and the Right of Emancipation
Beyond the Breakers" and
Threading Ny Way" Of thee,
Footballs on the Boundariel Of
Another World" is the princitl
work. In 1874 or 1875 Mr. Owen
became insane and was confined in
an Indiana asylum. 1t was thought
at the time that he was perma-
nently afflicted, but he subsequent
ly recovered his mind and died in
possession of all his faculties.

Cincinnati Times of Menday.l
The train came through on good
time, aud, to use the language OF
DIR. Taylor, "the whale behaved
splendidly." She was packed in a
large tank, which had been well
filed with sea.weed. The lid had
been removed, andat intervals either
DR.. Taylor or his assistant, one Of
whom was constantly on watch,
would moisten the grass on which
he reposed with salt water.
At7 o'clock the whale was safely
delivered on the ground, and then
began the preparations for transfer
ring the monster to the immense
tank which had been prepared for
his reception. This tank, which is
constructed of the best oak timber,
is 80 feet in diameter by s feet deep.
1t holds 10000 gallons of water.
When the whale arrived, this morn
ing, the water in the tank was
found to be too cool-over a hun
bred barrels of hot water, obtained
from the boilers Of the Inclined
Plane Railroad, were used TO tenn
per it. This, of course, caused de-
lay, aud it was nearly 10 o'clock
when the side of the huge box con-
tanning the monster had been sawed
out, and the whale quietly placed
in the water.
For a moment the animal seemed
to view the surroundings, then took
a Whit of the fresh air and made a
dive for the bottom. 1t remained
below for perhaps a half minute,
and then came up for more fresh
air. 1t continued this for at least
fifteen minutes, when itcommenced
to elbow" The spouts were not
heavy at first, but seemed to in
crease with every dive.
After the animal had been in the
tank half an hour, the body seemed
to be fully twice the size it was when
it was first placed in the tank.
When it arrived here it weighed
between sixteen and eighteen hun
dred pounds, and appeared to be
about fifteen or sixteen feet in
length.
1t will be fed on live cells, a barrel
of which, received from New York,
will be placed in the tank this after
noon. After the first feeding, about
a half barrel will be placed in the
tank at a time, and they will be
received from New York daily by
express.

A Lively Fight with a stBSe RObbeE
IA Ehrenberg.

san Fanciseo Examiner, June 10th.
A correspondent Of the Examiner
writes that the town of Ehreuberg
had quite a lively time on May IA,
in a battle with the Wickenberg
,tage robbers. Three suspicious
looking men, answering the descrip-
ton given by VIM. Bowers, sheriff
of Yuvapai county, (who was one of
the passengers robbed), arrived in
the town on the evening of the 10th.
Mr.. Evans, the agent of the Stage
Company, saw them, and was pref
ty sure he had the right men, and
took measures for their arrest. 1t
appears that the robbers got some
hint of what was going on, and
made their brag that they would
not be taken alive. Mr.. Evans and
Mr.. Bryan covered one of them with
their shot-guns, and ordered hint
throw up his hands, which he did,
drawing his pistol at the same time
and shooting the stage agent over
the left eye. Mr.. Bryan at once
fred, puttinga charge of small shot
in the robbers face. Evans then
fired, but being blinded by the first
shot did not get a very good aim,
the charge taking the knight of the
road in the arm, and though shot
down he continued shooting until
his pistol was empty. In the mean
time one of the robbers from an adj
joining saloon opened fire with q

through the shoulder. The shoot
ing continued for about ten min.
