THE DEATH OF Blum. As every
thing connected with the traglcal
death of Captain Blinn is of interest to
our readers who knew and admired
that sterling young gentleman, We OK
tract the following from letter writ
ten by Captain John L. Connick of
the steamer Richard Holyoke, to Cap
tain John b. Libby. of Milton. Cap
tain COnnick says: II had the ship in
tow and started out. though we knew
the bar was bad. He had my ha~ser
ON the ships bits. and when we got
outside the Heads the wind was light
and the weather SO hazy that we could
not see the bar. Blinn would not be
satisfied unless towed him clean over
the bar, so l kept on. and when we got
out there it was breaking badly, aad
our only resort was to keep RICH. on.
So Wa got over the bar all right. and
when they went to lot go che h6wser
they cast off one hitch. and then con-
clndei to hold on while longer. Cap
tain Blinn stood on one side Of the bits
and the mate on the other, when the
hawser slipped and tina end struck poor
Blinn. breaking both legs AM hurting
him inwsrdiy. The poor fellow lived
four hours in terrible pain. He was
buried day before yesterday-January
28th--and Mrs. Blinn is nearly crazy.
Tho King Philip went ashore the saline
day and proved IA total loss; and the
Westerp Shore ard Don Nicolas came
near sharing her fate. towed both
the Don Nicolas and Western Shore
into pert. When the ship comes up
the mate will give you full particu-
lars" From all We can learn from
outside sources, tho Holyoke now stands
prime favorite in San Francisco, and
her commander bids fair to become very
popular with shipmasters and owners
Glad CT it.

The Lilliputs.

One of the largest and most refined
audiences of the season assembled at Bur-
It's Opera House, Davenport, last evening,
to witness the wonderful performance of
the Lilliputians in the operatta of Jack,
the Giant Killer" To say that the per-
formance was fine, but poorly expresses it.
Rounds of applause followed each appear
ance of Miss Jennie Quigley and Admiral
Dot, the soprano and tenor respectively of
the company.
The entire operatta was superbly rem
dered, and it is but fair to say that every
body was surprised at the result. A great
many who went out of curiosity came away
comparing the relative merits, the leading
singers, and the acting throughout, with
that of the well known singers of com
panies Of adults. 1t is really surprising to
see what talent there is in this company OF
little ones. But this much we can say, il
you want to witness first class perform
ance 90 to Darts Hall this evening. The
matinee this afternoon was grand success,
and noticeablY the very elite Of the city
were present, and the little folks generally.
The operatta was finely given and was re-
ceived with rounds of applause. Reserved
seats at WyIie & McCune's.

Double Runaway.

A horse attached to a light grocery
wagon, became frightened at some object
this morning aud started at a mad pace
across the Warren lot at 10th street and
Second Avenue, the driver holding on to
the bit, like grim death to dead moke.
The boxes in the wagon were scattered 10
every direction, the horse plunged along and
turned the corner Of 18th street with a
crash against the lamp post, and still the
man hung on, everybody expecting him to
be dashed to death. On sped the animal
and man until they reached the fence near
Bird avenue, when by q sudden jerk the
horse was run into tree box and stopped.
1t was case of clear grit, but decidedly
foolhardy on the mans part, as
had he lost his hold, he would have
been kisked 20 death. In the
meantime. Wagner's delivery wagon was
standing near the store, also horse and
buggy, The horses became frightened al
the runaway and started down Second
avenue, peil NELL. but were fortunately
stopped few blocks below without any
material damage resulting. The excite
ment for while was intense and large
crowd collected TO watch the result of the
struggle for supremacy and the daring gri.
of the man who refused to yield his grip on
the horses bit. 1t was very narrow es
cape from what, under almost any Other
circumstances, would have been fatal aC-
lcidsnt.

The dirty mean insinuation in the organ,
that Hon. Chas. Durham has not accepted
the nomination for congress on the demo-
cratic ticket is tiei Mr. Durham does
not consider it necessary to reply to the
dirt-finging organ grinder and disgrace
himself By inserting card. at SO much a
line, in the organ, but this much zoe KNOB
and when we say zoe k;noao we challenge its
contradiction by the organ or aayose else
that Hon. Chas. Durham. has not aoith-
draaus, further he does not intend to sostk-
draao, and further he cannot be induced to
withdraw by any such dirty, mean, bull
doing falsehoods as have appeared from
time to time inthe commune" sheet edi-
ted by the "ex-purser" and political apos.
tate Of protested fiat" principles. To
democrats it is simply necessary to say
that all reports circulated about Hon. Chas.
Dunham's resignation are unqualified
falsehoods, invented by the opposition to
weaken the democratic candidate.
The Organ further says in his appeal
for help from democrats: They will not
necessarily become nationals, by voting
the ticket this year; its an off year, etc. y
This is another one Of the many ,des-
perate devices resorted to by the Organ
to delude democrats into voting the ma.
tional ticket. We say to democrats, one
aud all, you cannot afford to do it. your
chances were never better than now and
lii is because the Organ knows this that i
seeks to accomplish BY misrepresentation
that which it cannot do by direct appeal
The democracy are united, firm and deter
mined to win apd sViu soin if al effort i
made. The Organ can howl, Haney Cal
tear around, the old veteran bile over,
but the result will be all the same.
| No democrat, who has been such from
J principle, who has voted the ticket, becaus
his conscience taught him it was the onl.
party representing true principles of hon
est government, men who have never fal
cred in their duty cannot do so now. Dem
ocrats should remember this-that ever
vote given for a national is vote for re
publican misrule; that the national part
) is only tail to the republican kite. The
. will seek to deny it, of course, but the fac
still remains that every candidate on tn
national ticket but one is republican, ha
always been such, and will, if elected, vote fo
continuation of republican misrule. Demo
Gratis, do not be humbugged by oily tongue
appeals to swerve from your duty. Vot
the democratic ticket straight, and see tbs
your neighbor votes. Victory is ours;
is so recorded.

representative of that greenback organ
offered him S. if he would allow his name
to 60 on their list and let the paper cone
to him for three mouths; and when the Of
fer was spurned it was raised to $40. Why
did they waut that name SO badly? What
use did they expect to make Of it? Dc
