The Congressional Elections this Fall

Y. 0. Times

n. o. Times.I
The President took occasion in recent
interview with Mr.. Campbell of Pensyl-
vania, member of the Congressional Re-
publican committee, to say that he inten-
ded to contribute literally to the cam
paign fund, and he hoped other Republi
cans would do likewise. A few days ago
a check for $4,000 was received by the
Hon. Eugene Hale, chairman of the COM
mittee, bearing the signature of 3. b.
Hayes.
Since then the following circular has
been issued, and by this time has been
put in the hands of every officer holder in
the country
HEADQUARTERS OF THE REPUBLICAN Con-
GREssIoNAL COMMITTEE, 1878. 1919 Z Street,
Northwest. WASHINGTON, d. c., May y,
IS7S-SIR This committee, charged with
la bori ag for the success of the Republican
cause in the coming campaign for the cleo
ton of members of Congress, call with con-
fidence upon you, as a Republican. for such
a contribution in money as you may feel
willing to make. hoping that it may not be
less than inaming an amount.) The COM
mittee deem it proper, in thus appealing to
Republicans generally, to inform those who
happen to be in federal employ, that there
will be no objection in any official quarter
to such voluntary contribution
1.-The Importance of the pending struggle
cannot easily be exaggerated That the
Senate is to be Democratic after the 4th of
March, 1879, is very nearly certainly. In
view OF this, the election of a Democratic
House of Representatives would precip itate
upon the country dangerous agitations,
which would inevitably add to present dis
tresses Foremost among their schemes, the
opposition already announce their Intention
to attempt the revolutionary expulsion of
the president from his office.
IF, by the presentation of three candidates
for the presidency in 1880, the people should
fail to choose, the House must elect, each
State delegation casting one vote.
From what is now known, and with the
growing dissension in the camp of the enc
nv the committee have good reason to en-
ter upon their work with courage.

A young man entered the BARRON of
a village tavern and called for q drink.
"No," said tho landlord "you have had
delirium tremens once, and cannot sell
you any more" He stepped aside TO
make room for a couple Of young men
who had just entered, and the landlord
waited upon them very politely. The
other had stood by silently and sullen,
and when they finished he walked up TO
the landlord and thus addressed him:
six years ago, at their age, L stood

a man of fair prospects. Now, at tho
age of twenty-eight, am a wreck, body

The Society Of Women.

1t is better, wrote Thackeray, for you
to pass an evening once or twice a week
in lady's drawing room, even though
the conversation is slow, and you know
the girls song by heart, than in a club or
tavern, or a pit Of theater. All amuse-
ments of youth to which virtuous women
are not admitted, rely on it, are delete
riOus in their nature. All men who
avoid female society have dull perceptions
and are stupid, or have gross tastes and
revolt against what is pure, Your club
swaggerers, who are sucking the butt Of
billiard cues all night, call female society
insipid. Poetry is uninspiring to a
jockey; beauty has no charms for blind
man; music does not please poor beast
who does not know one tune from an
other; but as a pure epicure is scarcely
tired Of water sauces and brown bread
and butter, | protest | can sit for a
whole night talking with well regulated,
kindly woman about her girl Fanny or
her boy Frank, and like the evenings
entertainment. One of the great bene-
fits a man may derive from woman's
society is that he is bound to he respectful
to her. The habit is of great good to
your moral men, depend upon it. Our
education makes us the most eminently
selfish men in the world.

Lockport Journal.l

Lockport Journall
Small boys will learn with regret that
another "learned blacksmith" has arisen
This ones name is Thomas W. Bowditch,
and he is employed in an axe shop at
Johnsonville, Rensselaer, county. He
has written many essays upon the various
agricultural implements, combs, bells
and other articles of common daily use,
tracing their history from Bible origin to
the present time. His writings are said
to have attracted considerable attertion
from liteary people, especially those who
delight in antiquities. Like his prede
cessor, Elihu Burritt, this other Learned
blacksmith" will probably be held up for
years to come as a model for the small
boy, it is suspected, takes more esthetical
delight in seeing the teacher bound from
the wrong end of crooked pin inadvert-
emily placed in his chair than in the
more complex labyrinth of mathematics
or the classics. There was hope that the
first ''learned blacksmith" had about run
his race, but this new and fresh one will
probably long flourish to remind the ris-
ing generation how much better it is to
study all the while than to occasionally
go to the circus. But for all this the small
boy aforesaid may and probably will still
continue to avail himself of his ancient
privilege Of crawling under the tent
provided nobody is around.
