WHO THE MEN ARE.
Both Hanlan and Courtney have fine records.
They have each achieved wonders in tie boating
line, and naturally the greatest interest was elt
in the match Of to-day, which brought the men
together for the first time. Charles E. Courtney
was born at Union Springs, New York. in 1S49.
OF the two men he is much the finer looking.
He stands half an inch over six feet in his stock
ings, and his weight is usually abept one hun
dred and sixty-eight pounds. Courtney devel-
oped taste for boating while still boy. He
was then hard at work at the carpenters bench

and was the winner of seventy-three amateur
races before beginning his professional career. 1t
was in August, 1871, that he branched out as
professional, and in q month be was champion OF
the United States. Last August he was beaten
at Silver Lake, Plympton. Massachusetts, by
"Frenchy" johnson, the colored Boston oarsman,
who had previously won some reputation on the
Charles river course. Courtney had never before
been beaten. His defeat of to-day October b
is his second. Hanan is an lrishman by de.
scent. He is FIVE feet eight inches in height and
weighs one hundred and fity-two pounds when
in boating trim. He was born in Toronto in
1855, and is, therefore, several years younger
than Courtney. Hanlan, like Courtney, took to
the water while young In 1873 he won ths
amateur championship OF Toronto Bay. Since
that time he has been the victor in many con
tests, and has never been pushed so hard as he
was by Courtney. Last May he rowed at To

June he went to Pittsburg, Pa. and rowed 1

the latter easily. A great deal OF money changed

Simplicity I'm Dress.

1t has been the case in all the past history of
the world that as wealth increases in any coun-
try, so there will be more extravaganza and dis
play in the matter of dress. 1t affects, and TO
some extent iDjnres, all classes. Enterprising
tradesmen and magazine publishers penetrate
every quarter of the land with the edicts of that
mysterious power called fashion," and few are
they that they have the courage or desire to re-
sist its influence or reject Its rule. In some
households and circles the subject of woman's
dress seems the ruling and constant theme.

the land, where the entire literature consisted of
trashy fashion magazines and papers, and where

plates received from New York.
recently read in the "notes" Of a highly
cultivated and observant French gentleman, that
after many months OF intimate acquaintance with
the best and most elegant society in England, he
had yet to see the first copy of fashions on any
lady's table or book shelves.
This presents contrast that ought not to be
without its lesson. Where there is the highest
education and culture where the mind has been
opened to the reception of the largest stores OF
knowledge, where women have the truest per-
ception OF the beautiful IN nature and art, and
the highest enjoyment in their study, there the
least time and thought are given to show and
display in dressing. And so in the society of
this distinguished elegance and culture, such dis
play, except upon occasions of state and cere-
mony, is taken as q sure token of vulgarity, weak
vanity, or something worse.
For the sake of herself. and her example upon
Others. especially those of limited means. every
lady of refinement and culture-sbove all those
of acknowledged position and influence, and who
can best afford cost and splendor-should dress

HAYES and Tllden.

No MAN ever had a better title to the
Presidential chair than has Mr.. Hayes.
1t is too good to permit anybody un-
warped by prejudice orpassion to dream
of disturbing it. Besides, Mr.. Hayes
has so demeaned himself, has been so
clear and Just in his office, that none
but peculiar men would desire to mo-
lest him. On the other hand, Mr.. Til
den has been on the wane since the
election. There was want of ballast in
the early proceedings in his behalf. His
followers felt the want of a leader, and
all along down from that day to the
present certainly Mr.. Tilden has gained
not friend, while we think no man
will deny that he has lost hundreds of
thousands, till just now there are some
things afloat that are backed like scan
dals, and relate to campaign eXpendi-
lures, that may not be just to Mr.. Til
den, but certainly can do him no good
We sustained him as earnestly as any
body during the campaign, but we now
confess that we had very serious per-
sonal objection to him. We never have
thought that the President of the United
States should be bachelor. He should

should be in entire sympathy with the
people in all their relations, public and
private. No personal distinctions be-
tween him and well-regulated society
between him and men acquainted with
practical life, and bound to the COM
munity in those sympathies the most
important and proudest of which ger
inmate and bloom and grow in the fam
ily-should exist. A man separated
from the people in these particulars
could not be perfect ruler in the land,
and could not command the affection
as well as the respect of the American
people. Mr.. Tilden's suitableness for
President when nominated was differ
ent question from that of his suitable
ness for denomination. Very different,
indeed. There are men who are work
ing to bring about this denomination.
Mr.. Blair's scheme is proposed to help
on this idea. And it is this purpose
that converts step that might other
wise serve to amuse into an object of
decided aversion. 1t is both absurd
and repulsive. Richmond Dispatch. ,

PEOPLE who still adhere to the look-at-your-
tongue-and- feel of-yOur-pulse doctor some
times express not little curiosity in regard to
DI. R.V. Pierce's original method of distin-
gushing all forms Of chronic disease without
personal consultation. Some even suppose that
he accomplishes this through clairvoyance, or
some other species of professional jugglery.
All this is utterly false. He claims to deter
mine disease by the rational methods Of science
only. Says COmley, in his Biographical Ency-
clopedia OF New York State. speaking OF this
distinguished physician " He perceived that
in each Of the natural sciences the investiga-
tor proceeds according to a system Of signs.
The geologist in his cabinet accurately deter
mines and describes the cleft of rock, which
he has never seen, from the minute specimen
on his table. And the chemist in his laborato-
nv notes the constituents of the sun with the
same precision that he analyZes a crystal OF
rock salt. The analogous system developed
by DIR. Pierce In Medical Science is worthy Of
his genius, and has made his name justly cele-
brated." For full explanation Of this in

The Metropolis Disaster.

WASHINGTON, April u.
The acting Secretary of the Treasury

of the Commerce Committee of the
House, investigating the cause of the
Metropolis disaster, copies of the evil
dence taken by the u. s. Inspectors at
Philadelphia in their investigation of
the case, and their report thereon. The

a Confederate Victory,

The long and heated debate incident
to the election of Doorkeeper of the
House of Representatives may have in
duced some persons to believe that it
had something to do with the choice of
that officer. This would be a serious
error. The only result ever expected
from the discussion was to demonstrate
to the country that the Democracy can
not be shamed out of their complete
serfdom to the Confederates who flour
ish the lash. and that was accomplished.
As to the choice of Doorkeeper, the cleo
ton of the Confederate candidate was
assured beyond any peradventure of
argument. 1t was practically accom-
plished in the Democratic caucus, which
had been held in the very face of the
candidature of Gen. Shields, MeXi-
can and Union General, wounded in
both wars, and also Democrat; and,
in the face of this nomination, the
Confederates in the caucus insisted that
none but COnfederates should be put
on guard. When the Northern Demo-
Gratis feebly protested against being
placed in the awkward position of vot-
ing against good Democrat simply be-
cause he was patriot and hero, and
voting for an obscure and unknown
man simply because he had been a
Confederate, the Southern Democrats
announced their ultindtunl, viz: Either
the Confederate whom they had chosen
must be sustained by the full Demo-
cratic vote and elected, or not another
Democratic measure should be allowed
to pass during this session of Congress.
Then the doughfaces gave way, and
they obeyed the command of their
Southern masters so obsequiously that
but a single Democratic vote was with
held from the Confederate candidate
that of Springer, of Illinois, who rep
resents district where Gen. Shields is
known and respected, and who was
conscious that a vote against Shields
would be followed by reputation at
the hands of his constituents. North
ern men who have claimed to be lead
ers of the Democrats-like Cox and
Hewitt of New York, Randall and ely
mer of Pennsylvania, Morrison and
Eden of Illinois, Banning and SayleI
of Ohio-were compelled TO acknowl-
edge in the most public and abject
manner that Democracy once again in
this country, as before the war, means
nothing more nor less than subserv'
iency to Southern sectional dictation,
1t was not prudent on the part of the
Confederates in Congress to forco this
plain conviction upon the country. II
is likely to do the cause more harm al
the North than good at the South. AL
the Democrats throughout the North
are not as willing to acknowledge un
disputed Confederate control as the
Congressional doughfaces who were
terrified at the prospective defeat O
some favorite job in case they should
refuse obedience. There are thousands
of Irishmen at the North who fought il
the war for the Union along with theil
compatriot, Gen. Shields, and they arr
not prepared to admit that such a MAJ
may be put aside AT any time by th'
Confederate vote to make room for al

The Bonhomie Richard.

Gov. BISHOP, of Ohio, is a happy il
lustration of the central principle of
genuine partisan Democracy. He draws
his salary as Governor, and at the same
time holds the Trusteeship of the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad, which
pays him several thousands of dollars
annually. His appointments have been
made up largely of good Democratic
grocerymen, who We're and are custom
ers of his in that line. He is also using
his official position to prevent any in
vestigation into the railroad from which
he draws one of his salaries, and is do
ing other scandalous things, which
show that "Your Uncle Dick" under

party. He will be popular candidate
