OVER THE RIVER.

Hon. j. DUNBAR, of Steubenville, q
leading Republican candidate for the
Congressional nomination in the district
over the river, has written and published
a pretty tart letter as to the conduct of
one of his competitors, DR.. UPDEGRAFF.
From this card we learn that the willy
Doctor is engaged IN making a personal
canvass of the district, and that he has a
way of inducing the editors in the towns
which he visits, not only to say very
kind things Of him but some things
which are not exactly true Of
his competitor. Instances are given
The Belsire Independent mentions the
presence in that town of the veteran
statesman, and makes Dote of his remark
able popularity at home. The Barnes
Vile Enterprise is complimented by q
call from tie Republican candidate from
Jefferson, and plainly hints that none
other is the genuine article; and so on.
Mr.. DUNBAR then dips his pen into
some kind of caustic fluid which he pro-
ceeds to spread on paper, and it burns
AID sears as It goes. The letter, although
cutting one, has the appearance OF be-
ing candid and truthful; and seems to
leave his competitor without much show
of a claim upon the people for Congress
siOnal hOnOrs.

THE NATIONALS or PEENsYA.
wanna.

We published yesterday morning
very full account of the National Con-
yention at Philadelphia and o. the plat
form adopted by them. Their nominee
for Governor is SAMUEL r. MASON,
whose strongest opponent was WILLIAM
Fl. ARMSTRONG, one OF the best known
politicians in the State. ARMSTRONG was
very sanguine of success up to The meet
ing O! the Convention, but it soon became
evident that he would DO shelved. Forty
six delegates were admitted from PhiIs-
delphia, who were rampant Communists
and Socialists and were sohdly against
ARMSTRONG from the start. The more
cool-headed members say that this dele
CATION prevented the nomination Oh
the strongest men IN the
party, and in reality got hold OF the
weakest. When ARMSTRONG heard CT
the defeat of AGNEw for the Supreme
Judgeship, and the nomination Of BENT
LEY, he said. "Well, 1t is evident that
the party has not collected strength
enough to be effective. The nomination OF
BENTLEY means nothing, and the ticket
will be inevitably defeated" This utter
snce has created considerable i'll feeling
already.
Mr.. MASON, the Gubarnatorial nom
inee was born in Mercer county, Ia. IN
1927. He received good education and
atterward taught school for several years.
He began studying law in 1850 and has
become one of the leading lawyers OF
the State. He was elected District At
torney of Mercer by the Democrats in
1858, and was subsequently nominated Tor
Congress by the same party. In 1872 be
took strong part in the National currency
movement, and by his energy has scqulr-
ed the title Of "Fstber Of the Greenbsck
party in Western Pennsylvania"

PREHISTORIC COMBATANIs.

This is certainly q singular country IN
many respects, and not the lesst singular
of them, are the discoveries which are
being made from time to time OF natural
curiosities which show internal evidences
of the presence of prehistoric races.
In Lyon county, KY cave has been
discovered o. the bluffs overlooking
the Tennessee river, which appears
to have been chIselled out Of
the solid rock. On toe walls are singu-
lar carvings of birds and unknown rep.
tiles which show remarkable traces OF
skill in the handling Of tools. The most
remarkable part Of the discovery however,
are seven human skeletons, which show
plainly that terrible struggle had &C.
Cured in the cave, which resulted in the
death OF all those whose bones are thus
strangely brought to light
Some OF the skulls are split open and
near them were lying couple Of stone
hatchets. One has bone KNIFE sticking
into its breast, while across the doorway
of the cave were two skeletons still show
ing how they came to their death. One
OF these gLostIy warriors, still clutches bis
adversary by the throat, and the other
with the strength of despair has plunged
sharp copper knife into his enemy's
back. 1t is thought these men were OF
the old Natchez tribe and had some quar-
rel among themselves. 1t is needless for
Americans TO 20 to Pompeii when such
relics as these are to be seen at home.

CONVENTIONS.

The time approaches when conven-
tions will be held to nominate candidates
for the next Legislature. We have no.
ticed that few correspondents in the
interest OF their friends, have urged that
no conventions be held in certain coun-
ties and Senatorial districts. that the gen.
tlemen whom they champion shall be
elected by common consent rs it were.
No one should be elected who is not pre-
ferred by a majority of his party, and if
preferred, that choice will certainly find
expression in fair convention. Absn-
don conventions and you enter every as
pirant in a "scrub race" and it is
probable that some Democratic counties
will BE- represented By Republicans.
If the people will take an in
terest and participate in the
election Of delegates to the
the Conventions, then the choice Of the
Conventions will be necessarily the
choice of the party. Zone does not feel
a sufficient interest in the political affairs
of his county to attend the primary meet
ings, he has no right to complain if his
fsvorite does not receive the nomination,
and he has no right 10 be dissatisfied
whatever may be done, provided the
Convention is in all respects fair. We
have no desire to interfere in any county
matters, but we do desire that the organi-
cation of the Democratic party shall be
preserved, snd to that end that its time
honored usage shall be observed.

Fell Dead in the Field.

aShlngtOn Reporter
On Wednesday morning Mr.. John II,
Smith, Of South Strsbsne township, died
very suddenly. He was in his field plant
ing corn, assisted by Adam Beck, VIM.
Beck, Clinton Pesse and Andrew Pease.
About ten O'Clock he complained of psin
in one of his arms, and started for his
house telling the men thst he would rest
until after dinner. A short time before
II o'clock the men went to the house for
dinner, when they discovered that Mr..
Smith had not reached home. HIS
daughter at once started out in search of
him followed by the men. She had gone
but little distance when she discovered
his dead body in patch of rye. The
men took up the corpse and carried it to
the house. Medical aid was summoned,
but the man was beyond human help.

WE don't understand the Woodsfeld
Spirit to object to q just re-districting OF
the State for Congressional purposes. 1t
fears, rather, that, the Republicans hsV-
ing committed foul wrong, the Demo-
Gratis would swing the pendulum as lar
the other way IN retaliation, and commit
another wrong; and that then we should
have to engage in the unpleasant and
improbable work of defending wrong
instead of condemning one. There Is
some dan ger OF that, yet there should be
enough craftsmanship in the Ohio Leg
islature to do right.

THEY had a remarkably original cele-
bration out in Burlington, Iowa, last
Monday. A sewer 1850 feet long, 10
feet wide and IL feet high was opened
on that day to the public. A couple of
brass bands in wagons, followed by about
fifty csrrisges, drove through the entire
length of this underground street and q
big ball was gwen sfterward. The cost
of the sewer was $4,000. 1t is one of
the finest in the country, and is intended
to carry off the overflow OF creek which,
in past years, has committed serious dam
age to property.

A BRIDAL party at the Pamrapo N.
J.) Methodist Church had lively time
last week at the bands Of a party of
practical jokers. Scurrilous circulars
were scattered among the crowd both in
side and outside of the church, as the
bridal party approached; the fire bells
were rung and cannon were discharged
near he building, which so scared the
officiating clergyman that he dropped
his book and forgot how fsr he had
gone, and had to begin over again, and
when the ceremony was almost over an
ether cannon shot caused the minister to
forget 10 declare the parties to be man
and wife, On coming out Of the church
it was found that the carriages had all
been spirited away, and the party had to
walk about two miles to the railroad de-
pot. Warrants have been issued for the
jokers, and it is to be hoped they will be
hung.

MISCELLANY.

BE WILLING TO LEARN "A man progress
es just as long as he is willing to learn, but
progression ceases whenever he reaches that
point whore he places his knowledge in the
balance against that of all other men. Strange
as it may appear, there are good many just
such men in the world. Some cannot be
taught anything, no matter to what branch of
knowledge it belongs. And Others are perfect
in only one thing, and that relates to the bus
mess they follow. 1t is here that egotistical
importance does the most mischief, for it al
ways cripples mans usefulness in life.
There is another class of persons who will
accept knowledge only from those whom they
acknowledge as superiors. They must first
know the source of every item of information,
and it is accepted as truth or rejected as error
accordingly. They never think, reason or ex-
pertinent for themselves, and hence their be-
lief and practice exhibit strange mixture of
the impracticability of truth and error.
The truly progressive class accept truth
wherever they find it, and reject nothing be-
cause of its source. A hint dropped from the
beggar's lips is just as valuable as though it
came from royalty itself. These are the men
who do think, reason and experiment for
themselves. Like the miner, it is gold they
are hunting for, and like him they never re-
ject it because it is associated with dross and
dirt, but go resolutely to work to separate the
pure from the impure, retaining only the
former.
A man with broad, liberal views of his oc-
cupation, and whose eyes and ears are always
open and willing to accept and use every fact
that comes to him, no matter from what
source, is man to be admired and respected
wherever you find him. He stands in delight
full contrast to the man who blindly refuses
all aid, and SCOTS at all authority which con-
tradicts his opinions.

A ballot-box has been invented in Boston
and is now on exhibition at the American In
stitute, which, by an ingenious though simple
mechanical arrangement, will register every
ballot deposited in it. The voter is supposed
to place upon small shelf which projects
from the box, his vote, which the inspector
at once pushes beneath registering STAMP.
A crank is turned and the ballot first receives
its proper letter and consecutive number, and
then falls into the box beneath, after which it
can be neither seen nor touched until the ap
pointed officer breaks the seal and unlocks the
door.
