An Albany letter sets forth the sudden
growth of the National party in this State.
for, since the Toledo Convention, all the Com
munstic factions are uniting upon this name.
In the elections for Supervisors the new party
has not only held its own in regions like
Chemung County, where it was already strong,
but has made unexpected gains elsewhere. In
the thirty mine counties in which elections
have been held, this element has chosen
nearly one-twefth of the whole number of
Supervisors, or &c out of S4S. In Chemung
County the Democrats, who are the chief
sufferers by this movement in all parts of the
State, are left without a single Supervisor.
though last year they had majority
of the Board. A party which, though
the growth of but a single year, can
carry four such cities as Utica, Oswego, Elmira
and Auburn, and elect so large a representa-
ton to the county legislatures is a power in
the politics of this State, none the less real
because its rise has been sudden. 1t is a
cloud much larger than mans hand upon the
horizon of the Democratic party, and will
grow q good deal before 1880

We have received one of the new silver dollars
fresh from the Philadelphia mint, with the COM
plimens of Messrs. Hatch n Foote, Wall-st
bankers. Ii is coin of about the same size as the
trade dollar and is remarkable for the low relief of
the devices. The diverse bears head of Liberty

but the face has been cut badly that the effect is
not pleasing In the legend there full stops be-
tween the words AZ Plurlbus Unum." IN imitation
of ancient Inscriptions. On the reverse is an eagle
with wings OutSpread, surrounded by an olive
wreath and bearing in his taons arrows and an olive

fact 1t is more like a mousing hawk than an eagle

Governor Robinson, nothing daunted by the
overwhelming majorities which the supple
mcntary chapters of the New Code received in
the Legislature, has again withheld his ap-
proval. In doing so, he bases his action on
the fact that the bill was not read through in
the Senate in the prescribed manner, as Senator
Ecclesine insisted it should be- Mr.. Ecclesine

the Executive with a veto, which the Legisla-

Governor Prescott's majority IN New-Hamp-
shire will probably hardly exceed 1,2OO, as
against majority last year of 3,61O. All
but sixteen towns have been heard FROM
and give him majority of 1.424, and
these sixteen towns last year gave
the Democratic candidate a majority of

loss of two thirds of last years majority in
the State, it must be noted that the total vote
will, it is estimated, he within a hundred or
two votes of that of last year. The vote is the
same, but the Republican majority has
dwindled.
Ex. President WOolsey takes Issue with Mr..
Blaine, in letter printed on another page
with respect to the legality of the Canadian
award. AS coming from one of the best, if not
the best. American authority on international
law, DR.. Woolsey's opinion must outweigh
any that has been given on the other side OF
the controversy. His conclusive showing
that international arbitrations are governed
by Roman, and not by English law, ex-
cept where it is otherwise provided,
and that under the Roman law a ma
jority of the arbitrators may decide seems to
deprive of all significance the omission in the
treaty to authorize majority verdict in the
Fisheries case. The authorities In Roman and in
international law agreeing that the decision OF
a majority Is binding, the Halifax award
seems as legal as it is unjust, and we are as
clearly bound to pay it, leaving the National
honor entirely out of the question, as we are
entitled to grumble at it.

A Trick THAT CURED A DESIRE FOR
DEATH.-A young man, suffering from the
reaction incidental to a spree, entered gro
Gerry at the north end, Wednesday, and uncer-
enormously knelt before the proprietor, ask
ing his forgiveness for being in such a condi-
ton. The gentleman thus addressed tried to
pacify him, but could not, and finally referred
him to the clerks. The young persistent then
turned to the senior clerk and on his knees
pleaded to be shot, offering TO sign his own
death warrant. Finding him persistent, the
clerk decided to. dispe his morbid desire for
death by means Of practical joke. So a
death warrant, solemnly worded in long and
sonorous phrases, was drawn up by one of tue
clerks, to which the petitioner affixed his
name, remaining upon his knees The first
clerk then drew revolver and ordered the
victim to close his eyes, which was done. A
fire-cracker was meanwhile slyy ignited and
placed upon the floor at the back of the fel.
low, who with pale face and anxious express
ion awaited the fatal shot. Suddenly the
cracker exploded, and at the same instant the
young man overcame all desire to shuttle off
this mortal coil and with howl aud bound
he was ont of the store, fully persuaded thai
his time had not yet come.-New Bedford

POETRY.


Not unto every heart Is Gods good gin
OF simple tenderness allowed; we meet
With love in many fashions when we LIT
First to our lips iife's water bitter-sweet.
Love comes upon us with resistless power.
0fcurbess passion, and with headstrong will,
Or plays around like Apris breeze and shower,
Or calmly flows, rapid stream and still,
1t comes with hlessedness unto the heart
That welcomes II Alright, or bitter fate
Some gentle bosom wrings with such smart.
That love, we cry, can cruel be as hate.
And then, ah me when love has ceased to bless,
Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness
We long for tenderness like that which hung
About us. lying on our mothers breast;
a selhess feeling, that no pen tongue
Can praise Alright since silence sings II best;
loveas far removed from passions heat
as from the chillness of its diving fire;
y love To lean on when the failing feet
Begin to weary, and the eyes to tire.
In Youths brief heyday hottest love we seek,
The reddest rose grasp--but when IL dies,
Ged grant that lat blossoms, vioets meek
May prefer perfume meath Autumn skies,
God grant some loving one be to bless
Our downward way with simple tenderness.

WORDS OF WISDOM. The ordinary EN-
ployment of artifce is the mark of petty
mind and it almost always happens that he
who uses it to cover himself in one place un-
covers himself in another.
The happiness of your life depends upon
the quality of your thoughts therefore
guard accordingly, and take care that you en-
terrain no notions unsuitable to virtue and un-
reasonable to nature.
The vulgar look for their gods in water ;
the ignorant think they reside in bricks, woods
aud stones men of more extended knowl--
edge seek them in celestial orbs but wise
men worship the universal soul.
Flowing water is at once a picture and a
music, which causes to flow at the same time
from the BRAIN like limpid aud murmuring
rivulet, sweet thoughts, charming reveries
and melancholy remembrances.
Pride is virtue-let not the moralst be
scandalized-pride is also a vice. Pride, like
ambition, is sometimes virtuous and some
times vicious, according to the character in
which it is found, and the object to which 1t
is directed.
Oh, rich and virtuous man ! thou palace of
sight and sound, carrying in thy senses the
morning and the night in thy brain tho geo.
metry of the city of God /; in thy heart the
power of love and the realms of right and
wrong Who shall set limit to the intlu-
ence of human being
We are, says Bplwer, realities of various,
countless combinations. We must enrich the
whole nature and SO escape narrow-minded-
ness. Life's circle is cut into segiments. All
lines are equal il drawn from the centre ia
the circumference. To sail round the world
we must put in at many harbors, If not fol-
rest, at least for supplies.
