THE soUP-BONE CANDIDATE.
How LITTLE THINGS WILL DEFEAT A

HOW LITTLE AhANuo VIM OHhAAA -
MAN. y '-~ -'lss
There has just been made public a
funny incident of the recent Ohio cleo
tion. Mr.. John @. Covert of the Oleye-
land Leader was running for the Leg
islature on tho Republican ticket,
when it was recalled by the opposition
managers that in June, 1875, he had
written a very sensible article on
Cheap Living" an article in which
he showed, with the ability of Miss
Juliet Corson, that soup could be
made at cost of six cents for peas,
onions, spinach, and a small beef-bone
which the butcher was almost willing
to give away, soup that was sayory
and nutritiour and would make meal
for a poor mans family. Covert was
there upon assailed as "the soup-bone
candidate" "who thought that refuse
beef-bones were good enough for
American workingmen ;.cartoonspre-
sented him as ladling out soup in ex-
change for workingmen's votes, or as
running down the workingmen armed
with soup bone and syringe char
ged with broth The result was
that it took the official count TO de-
eide that he was elected by some
twenty votes, though his district went
Republican by a large majority.
This recalls the fact that Tom Cor
win won his first congressional cleo
tion in distric hopelessly opposition
by telling how his opponent, who did
indeed wear s'storeclothes," slept in a
night gown. He intendid the story
for joke, but the freeman of Ohio
took it in earnest and rallying against
the pampered aristocrat defeated him.
A somewhat similar story is told of
a whig candidate in New York who,
stopping for dinner at wayside iun,
ordered his beefsteak to be broiled
and not fried. Whether his alert
constituents thought he was relapsing
into savagery or putting on airs is
not known, but they promptly made |
that broiled beefsteak a live issue in |
the campaign and he was Defeated

conditions and limitations es-
tablished by law exclude the
Hebrew race from hotel ac-
commodatiohs, as Judge Hill
ton may find, to his cost, if
Mr. Seligman sees fit 10 prose-
cute him for the misdemeanor
that he has committed. But
we presume the Jews will not
resort to the slow process of
law for the purpose of aveng-
ing their insult. They will
raise a storm of public wrath
which the successor of A. T.
Stewart cannot stay with all
the fortune he so unworthily
inherits. Hilton may under
stand the means by which to
ingratiate himself into the
confidence and affections of
rich men like A. r. Stewart,
but he cannot keep hotel.
The bigotry of Hilton -smacks
of known nothingism. Inflated
by sudden wealth, he has no
federation, and would apply
faggot and fire and the tor
lures of the inquisition to any
sect or race that he dislikes.
The Jews are good enough to
fight the battles of their adopt
ed country, to pay taxes, to
perform the duties Of good cit
ize2s, but not good enough to
lodge in Hilton's tavern for
man and beast. He, .jackai~
like, would dig up the bones
Of every Jew buried on Amer
lean soil, and hustle them out
OF the country. hilton has
insulted a thrifty, honest and
industrious class of the Amer>
lean people, and every good
citizen who hates bigotry, per-
secution and injustice, should
make it his business to resent
this outrage. This can be
done by stunning the Sara
toga pest-house, called the
Grand Union hotel, and by
refusing to patronize the house
of A. T. Stewart & Co., of
which Judge Hilton is the in
| famous partner.

disaster comes there will be a min
Cling of air and cometary gas,
causing an explosion. If the last
man is not suffocatcd he will lie
blown up. 4. There is q retard-
ing medium in space, causing
a gradual loss of velocity in the
planets. and the earth, obeying
the law of gravitation, will get
closer and closer to the sun. The
last man will be sunstruck. S.
The amount of water on the earth
is slowly diminishing, and simulta-
neously the air is losing in quanti-
ty. Finally, the earth will be an
arid waste, like the moon. The
last man will be suffocated. 6.
Other suns have disappeared. and
ours must, sooner or later, blaze
up and then disappear. The in
tense heat of the conaagration will
kill every living thing on earth.
The last man will be burned up.
Z. The suns fire will gradually
burn out, and the temperature will
cool. The earth's glacial zones
will enlarge, driving our race to-
ward the equator, until the habita-
BILE space will lessen to nothing.
The last man will be frozen to
death. 8. A gradual cooling of
the earth will produce enormous
assures, like those seen in the moon.
Tbs surface will become extremely
unstable, until the remnant OF hui
manity will take refuge in caves.
The last man will be crushed in
his subterranean retreat. 9. The
earth will at last separate into
small fragments, leaving the people
without any foothoid. The last
man will have dreadful fall
through space. 10. The tenth
theory, proving that there will be
no last man at all, is thus ex-
pressed 'Evolution does not
necessarily imply progress, and pos"
sibly the roce may have retrograd'
ed until the human being possesses
the nature of the plant louise such
being the case, this single inhabitant
will spontaneously produce poster
ity of both sexes"

THE INFAMOUS HILTON.
[MentpAis appeal. ]

lAhe"tPtto hHe"'1
Byron retired to rest an
obscure individual, but awcke
the next morning to find him
self great. Judge Hilton has
as suddenly achieved an infa-
nous notoriety. His exclu-
sion Of Mr.. Seligman from
Grand Union hotel, at Sara
toga. because Seligman was
al Israelite, Hebrew, a Jew,
or some other sect or class
that did not suit Hilton's pious
taste, has produced a sensa-
ton throughout the country.
The conduct Of Judge Hilton
illustrates the truth Of the old
adage: ''Place a beggar on
horseback, and he will ride to
the devil" He was raised in
obscurity and poverty. But
prosperity has made him a
purse-proud upstart, cutting
fantastic capers to the disgust
Of the whole country. The peo-
pie offended are a powerful
organization in fhe United
States, and they ought to COM
bine for the purpose of des-
troying the vulgar snob who
has maligned and wantonly
insulted by telling them that
they were not good enough to
feed at his fourth-rate hash
house. Besides the courage
upon common decdncy and
the religious freedom which is
the characteristic Of the Amer
lean people, the course Of Hill
ton is in direct defiance of the
established law Of the Uni
ted States. The law OF
March l 1875, prescribes that
all persons within the Jufls -
diction Of the United States
shall be entitled to the full
and equal enjoyment of the
accommodations, advantages,
facilities and privileges of inns
IS Il: =: subject only to the
conditions and limitations es~
tablished by law, applicable
alike 70 the CITIZENS OF EVERY
RACE and provides, as penal
ty for the breach Of its COM
mand, the payment Of five
hundred dollars to the person
injured, and a further fine o.
five hundred to one thousand
dollars, or imprisonment from
thirty days to one year. Nc

THE LAST MAN.
. A Cool CALCULATION OF WHAT HIS
FATE MAY BE.

What will become Of the last
man? Various theories that have
been seriously maintained by scien-
tific men are described in the Scion
tifc American, and VIC summarize
them
I. The surface of the earth is
readily diminishing, elevated re-
gions are being lowered and seas
are filling up. The land will at
last be all submerged, and the
last man will be starved or drown
ed. 2. The ice is gradually accu-
mulating at the north pole and
melting away at the south pole, the
consequence of which will be an
awful catastrophe when the earth's
center of gravity suddenly changes
The last man will then be drowned
by the rush of waters. 3. The
earth cannot always escape a col
lision with comet, and when the

We beg to invite the special attention
of Dealers and Consumers to these
PAINTS. They are manufactured from
the very BEST AND CHOICEST PIG
A1ENTS, and mixed or thinned with only
STRICTLY PURE Linseed Oil and Tur-
pentine, and they cannot be excellcd in
covering capacity, durability, tineness and
beauty of finish. They will neither
chalk, flake, or peel off, and work with
perfect freedom under the brush. They
weigh from Is to 16 lbs per gallon, which,
ofitself, POSITIVELY demonstrates their
purity and superiority.
Tho yarlons compounds known in tho
market as Chemical Paints, contain only
abour SO per cent. of Paint; the balar &C
is water, introduced into the same by the
use of an alkali, to combine it. The
last mentioned Paints, so-calIed, only
weigh from 9 to 10 lbs per gallon, which
we think certainly proves their lack of
capacity or body. When water is mix
ed with Paint, it not only destroys its
body, but, to q very great extent, its adj
hesiveness, which all practical men know
is OF the highest Importance to preserve,
i'll order to make durable Paint.
We think, from the statement we have
made, that buyers cannot TAIL to at ONCE
perceive that their interest will be best
promoted by buying our Liquid Paints

PHILADELPHIA. June 23-AI.
accounts from the mining districts
agree tina. the Mollie Maguires are
scotched, not killed, and the good
citizens of Schuylkill. Carbon,
Columbia and Luzerne counties are
greatly animated by rumors Of plot
ting for revenge. Nor are the ru~
mors all that alarms them. Since the
executions of last Thursday several
deeds Of violence that are almost
directly traced to the murderous
Mollies have occurred. One OF
these is the murder of William
Conner, a respectable man, whose
body has been found near White
Haven, and another the brutal as
sassination of John Grady, a Ion
affiliated miner employed in one
of the Lehigh collieries. As yet,
however, there has been no gener"
al uprising such as was dreaded,
and little indication of what may
be the specific plan of the friends
of the hanged murderers. Still
the authorities are on the alert,
and detectives are scattered
through the suspected districts.
From these the passwords and
other goods that were telegraphed
abroad yesterday were obtained,
and their PRONUNCIATION through
the press was part of the scheme
20 break up the organization.
The Coal and Iron Police and
Capt. Linden, of the Pinkerton
Detective Agency, are still patrol
ing the region. There seems to be
IN unusual commotion among the
Mollies infesting the Butler Valley
and quite a number of persons have
received coffin notices. James Nc
Dermott and Michael O'Brien, who
were witnesses at the trials of sew
cral of the executed Mollies, have
,nysteriously disappeared and it is
feared they have been decoyed into

and armed men passed over the

hour this morning. The houses of.

gan, near Delano, in the Mahony
District, have been placarded with
coffin notices." warning them to
leave the region within twenty-four
hours under penalty of death. Elses
where, in the middle and northern
coal fields, there seems to he an
unusual movement among the min
ers and the Iaw!ess characters, the
feeling that something important,
as well as startling, is about to oc>
cur, generally prevailing among
all classes of citizens, while no little
uneasiness exists in places where
the Molly Mcguire element is a con-
trolling and vindictive power. In
some districts, where the authori-
ties are almost powerless to cope
with tho law-breakers, the appre>
hensicns of a general uprising
have become so great that families
are leaving for points where there
is moro protection for life and pro>
perty. This is particularly the
case with those who took any part
against the MoIlies at their trials.
