The Washington standpoint.


Information received here, says a Washing
ton correspondent, OF Republicans both from
Pennsylvania and New York is all to the effect
tnat the octoJer elections continue to exercise
amost de e'ressing effect on the Greenback or
ganiz--don, and that the hsrd-mouey victory
IN Ohio has brought back many Republicans
who were hestating asout joining the Nation
ais. The assurances given by Secretary Sher-
man of his ability to resume on January have
also had very happy effect. The conviction Is
rapidly spreading that the financial question
will be the leading Republican issue in 1880.
and the party has already, by the verdict of the
October elections, placed itself in position on
that question as the hard-money party. The
indisputable facts of Democratic outrages in
South Carolina are also having great effect in
both these States in consolidating the RepublI-
cans. From the most conservative Republican
sources the denunciation of the movements ac-
knowledged to be under the leadership of Wade
Hsmpton's aids is now severe and significant.
In Pennsylvania the feeling is well indicated
by remark of Que Of the most Conservative
journals in the State, that whether these trans
actions made Democrats rapidly down there or
not, it was beyond question thatthe knowledge
of them was making Republicans very fast in
that the Republicans will make gains on Com
gressmen in both States and have Q majority
in each delegation.
The card of Mr.. Havemeyer receives more
credence here among the Democrats who were
well postee during the electoral count than auy
one yet printed, Tilden's not excepted In fact
it is only one in which gentlemen who are
known to have had close relations with the
general management Of the business about TIL
den's residence place full reliance. Upon the
first appearance of the South Caroliua ciphers
which exposed Havemeyer's name, an expla-
nation was given privately that Havemeyer
had really been used In the mattar of receiving
the dispatches for Pelton and Tilden, sending
them to the latter BY messenger. The same
parties who explained this also said that Have
meyer had no reason to suspect their character.
and was only able to selectthem for Forwarding
to Tilden by the fact that they came in cipher

Kicked by n Horse.

James Lindsey, young man about
Is years of age, living near Knotsville,
went last Thursday at the request of
his father to drive up some horses.
His long absencearoused the apprehen-
sion of the father, who went in search
of him, and finally found him lying on
the ground with barely strength enough
to say that he had been kicked in the
side by one of the colts, and before his
father could call assistance he was
dead. He was buried from St Law
renee church by the Total Abstinence
Society, of which he was a worthy
member. and his death is much lamen-
ted by the entire community Ow-

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to find fault. 1t is easy TO say that
nobody is honest. 1t is easy to say
that the church is to blame for it. 1t
is easy to say that the church would
be all right if the minister would
preach and do as he ought. But it Is
not easy to look on the best side, to see
that there are hundreds of faithful
preachers, thousands of honest, sincere
men and women, countless acts OF JUS
tice, charity and humanity which out
weigh all the grumbling of all the
grumblers. so that j; is really the finest
dust in the balance. Let us be fair
and cheerful. The world is not all
wrong. Everybody is not rascal.
Our neighbors are not trying to cheat
us. The church is doing work for the
world, and even the GROWERS are not
half so disagreeable as they seem.

Remedy for bleeding at the Nose.

The Scientific American gives the
following novel plan for stopping
bleeding at the nose:
The best remedy for bleeding at
the nose. as given by DIR. Gleason IN
one of his lectures, is in the vigorous
motion of the jaws, as in the act of
mastication. In the case of a child a
wad of paper should be placed in its
mouth, and the child should lie In
structed to chew it hard. 1t is the
motion of the jaw that stops the How
of blood. This remedy is so very SIM
pie that many will feel inclined to
laugh at it, but it has never been
known to fail in a single instance. so
it is said, even in very severe cases.

Editor IIereld.
The town of McHenry is improving
very rapidly. Quite a number of
dwelling houses will be erected this
fall, some of them very fine ones, too.
Business is getting better every day.
Last Saturday evening we laid aside
our business affairs and walked up to
the school house, where the young Ia
dies had prepared supper for the
benefit of the Sabbath school children.
The supper was all the taste and
and good sense of ladies of experience
could make it, simply excellent and
every thing in the greatest profusion.
After supper, we had music by Prof.
Smith, singing by the class. and a
comic song by Mr.. Hamilton, which
was laughable. Little Maggie Ed
wards sang one of her inimitable
songs, which brought tears to the eyes
of more than one present. ID. j.
