Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1878-06-13

Is evident that the Democrat
10 portion Of the Greenback party
have an excuse to bolt, and it Is safe
to say that there are not half dozen
Democratic Geeenbacl;ers in the
county who will vote the ticket in
October. 1t seems probable that the
leaders were afraid to postpone nom
nations, either for the reason
that they wanted certain men nomi-
mated who think it is honor enough
to be candidate for Office, or that
they were afraid that the primary
vote would show that the party had
no strength. We are inclined to deal
mercifully with these men; we think
that the intentions Of most of them
are good. and II they can be induced
to investigate for themselves, they
will be as heartily ashamed OF having
belonged to such an organization as
any body else is. The theory Is so
absurd that even Norman 8. Wood
ward will abandon Ii, il he ever takes
the time to think seriously for one
hour Of the results that would ineyi-
tably follow the adoption OF such q
financial policy.
Most OF the candidates are Repub-
licans, and while we are not person
ally acquainted with many OF them,
we suppose they are in the main good
citizens, and il they will take the
trouble to read the Republican plat
form, adopted at Indianapolis, ard
look over the news columns Of tile
Marshall County Republican of tile
last four or five weeks, they will find
that in the laws enacted. by Congress,
and the Republican Platform, they
have just what they want, and as
they are not seeking Office, and as
there is no chance for them to get an
office on the Greenback ticket IL they
were. we shall expect them to come
back to the Republican ranks where
, we will all work together for the best
interest Of the whole country.
We left the Hall before the dele
gates to the Congressional conven-
ton had been appointed, but learn
that they were instructed to cast the

BRO4DBRIM'S LETTER FROM PARIS.

PARIS INSTRUMENTATION FRENCHMEN
WINES AND FRENCH COOKING--NIGHT
sCENEs-RoMANCE OF FRENCH RES
TAURANT.
One of the most interesting features of
the Paris Exposition is the restaurants in
and about the grounds. You may see
much of French life in the theatres, in the
art galleries, in the streets and in their
public assemblies; but if you want to see
it az natural, as a Frenchman would say,
YOU must see it in the restaurants. When
an Englishman eats he seeks modest Sc
care about making public exhibition of
himself; the German likes TO sit under the
branches of shady tree, or anywhere
with few green leaves around him, that
remind him of the woods and the fields.
Not so with the Frenchman: give him 4
roll, bottle of swim ordinaire," set him
out in the middle OF the street or on the
sidewalk where thousands can see him,
and he is happy. There seems to be no
such thing as privacy or home life in Paris,
as we understand it in other lands
There are great many time honored
humbugs connected with French cooking
and French restaurants, which ought to be
exploded by somebody. There are un-
doubtedly excellent French cooks, but like
every other good things in France they are
exceedingly dear, and altogether out of the
reach of ordinary people. There is not an
Englishman or an American in moderate
circumstances but who, in his own country,
eats every day better dinner than is eaten
by ninety nine huudredths of the people
who come to Paris. There is not SO dear

A tough old cartilage, this masculine hu

pieces in poetry and want to die in sonnets
and yet be as careful of his health and live
on as long and persistently as though he
were justice of the Supreme Court and
never intended to die. We probably mis-
judge Petrarch, but he always struck us as
"heart broken /" old fraud, with more
dyspepsia than heartache. Still, he may
have felt a little badly about it.

never shoves her toos into them and

thon goes stamping and kicking
around, but pulls them on part way
carefully, twitches them of again, to
take last look and seo If sho has
got the right ono, pulls them on
again, looks at them dreamily, says
thoy are just right, then takes an
other look, stops suddenly TO smooth
out o wrinkle, twists around aud
surveys them sideways, exciaims
"Morcy how loosc they are" looks
at them again square in front, works
her foot around 30 they wont hurt
her quite so much, takes them off,
looks at tho heel, the toe, tho bot
tom and the inside, puts them on
again, walks up and down the room
once or twice, remarks to her better
half that she won't have them at any
price, tilts down the mirror 30 she
can 500 how they look, turns in ev.
cry possible direction aud nearly
dislocates her neck trying to see
how they look from that way, backs
of, steps up again, takes thirty or
forty farewell looks, says they make
her feet look awful big and never will
do in the world,puts them of and on
two or three times moro, asks her
husband what he thinks about it and
then pays no attention to what he
says, goes through it all again and
finally says sho will take them. It's
