JoHS A. LoCAN.-The Chicago Tri-
5une, the leading republican organ in
Illinois, in speaking OF the recent Sc
lection Of John A. Logan by caucus oi
republican members ofthe General As
sembly of that State, uses the following
language:
The caucus has passed: Logan has
been nominated; and, on the sssump-
ton that be will be elected, We protest
10 behalf OF intelligence, principle, and
public interest, against this outrage
upon the people OF Illinois, and upon
the Republican party Of this State and
of the country.
10 the past discussions OF this Sena-
torial election the Tribune has labored
to arrest what all rational men have
foreseen may prove calamity TO the
Republican party OF this State, as any
bold defiance Of the intelligence aud
moral sentiment OF the public must al
wsys produce. Decming bis election

The world Is full 0f mystery

But whence, and when, and why they wrough
Escapes the grasp Of human thought.

With al our JOY and pain.

10 the United States Senate al this time
to be peTilous to the party ard offensive
10 public convict0ns Of propriety and
general interest, we have felt Il TO be
our duty to make public bis record, so
that no man in the General Assembly
should be able TO plead ignorance of
the consequences Of his vote in elect
ing such a man Senator.
He has already been tried six years
in the Senate, and during al that time
be lett no record that is honorable 20

e0uniry. On an great questions reqnir.
ing knowledge. ability. sound Judgment.
or sta;esmanship. he was an acknowl-
edged failure. His most noted acts
were tampering with the Credit Mo-
bilier, voting himself $1,000 a year
for past services, supporting subsidies
and claims, and being cheek-by iowl
with the Washington lobby. His illit-
erlte harangues in the Senate made lie
linoisans hang their heads in shame,
and were so moving as to empty the
chamber aud Gil the smoking rooms
with Senators who declined TO listen 10
twaddIe and roar. He was opposed 70
all reforms in government; he was the
embodiment Of the worst phase Of ma
chine politics, and helped TO bring scan
dal and reproach on Grants Admins
tration, a majority Of his appointments
turned out TO be corrupt and faithless;
a number were indicted; some fled the
country; others escaped through flaws
of the law; many passed under a cloud;
and some, who are out on bail, have
yet TO be tired.
II is such men, and the class Of poll
ticians TO which they belong, in and
out Of the Legislature, who have Secur-
ed him the caucus nomination. The
people Of Illinois, and especially those
who are Republicans from principle,
will never approve this election nor
pardon those who may infIct this out
rage on the party, or bring this dis
grace on the State, and this humiliation
IN the eyes oil the country.

Why WOMEN MARRY.-Tanify Fair,
in a recent issue, says: The question
which we considered last week, why
Men Marry" is an interesting one; but
il must be pronounced inferior 10 the
question "Why Women Marry" in the
degree in which men are in all respects
less interesting than women. The vii.
lingness of women 10 marry is greater
and more patent than that Of men; and
We will add, that Il u great deal more
wonderful. That women have, to use
a colloquial phrase. the worst oi It all
through life, we entertain no doubt: and
that the matrimonial state, as under
stood by experience. has, as a rule,
fewer attractions for them than for men,
we also believe 10 be true. Yet, while
there are many men who from choice
abstain from marrying, and still more
who put of marrying till the last practi-
cable moment, we doubt If there are
any women worth mentioning who re-
fuse the married state from option and
deliberatlon, and not many who post
pone marrying ill late period Of lie
from a general repugnSnce TO having
husband. That women refuse individ-
ual men, and sometimes go on refusing
man after man, is true enough; but then
their objection is to the man and not TO
the condition Of life the man proposes;
or, not unfrequentiy, their refusal arises
from meIe skittishness, from a feeling
that they may do better, or from a cheer
(uI conviction that there is plenty Of
time TO "think about IT," As n rule,
however, women who have the chance
Of marrying, marry, and they would
marry yet more promptly than they
do were it not that they are frequently
held back from taking foolish step by
wise parents or dissuading friends.-
How is this apparent paradox 10 be cx-
planned There is less TO induce "A
woman 10 marry than TO induce men;
vet men hesitate TO marry and women
lump at marriage. Some will answer
that man is sarationaland woman anlrra-
tional animal: but over and above the
distinction being too uncomplimentary
TO be true, Vt is one Of those plausible
explanations that explain nothing
Again. il IS sometimes affirmed that, in
marrying, men sacrifice liberty, where
as women, IN marrying, acquire it. Bot
this is an epigram easily disposed Of
When men sacrifice what is called lib
erty BY marrying, they are already tired
Of Their liberty, or that particular form
Oft which bachelorhood enjoys, and,
were the point thoroughly examined,
we suspect IL would be found that they
abandon a form Of liberty Of which they
are weary for another form they have
not yet possessed.

AGE OF ANIMALS.-A bear rarely
exceeds twenty years. A dog lives
twenty years, a wolf twenty, fox four
teen or sixteen years. Lions are long
lived. One has been known to live to
the age of seventy years. Rabbits sew
en-. Elephants have been known to
live 20 the age of four hundred years.
Alexander the Great, having conquered
Purus. king of India, took great ele-
phant, who had fought valiantly for the
king, and named him Ajax. He dedi-
Gated him TO the sun, and let him 90,
with the inscription -" Alexander, the
son OF Jupiter, hath dedicated Ajax to
the SUM-" The elephant was found
with this inscription three hundred and
fifty years afterwards. Pigs have been
known to live TO the age of thirty years;
the rhinoceros to twenty. A horse has
been known to live to the age of sixty
two years, but average from twenty to
thirty years. Camels sometimes live
10 the age Of one hundred years. Stags
are long lived. Sheep exceed the age
of ten. Cows live about fifteen years.
Cuvier considers il probable that whales
sometimes live for thousand years. A
swan has attained the age Of two hun
dred years. Pelicans are long lived.
A tortoise has been known to live to
the age of cne hundred and seven. In-
sects, as a general rule, are short lived,
though there are many exceptions 10
the rule.

A,tempted Robbery and Murder.

CHESTER, Pa, June 8.-The little VII
lage of NJ orion, on the West Chester
railroad, five miles from Chester, was
thrown into a state of intense excitement
by an attempted robbery and murder by
a colored tramp. AT about 1880, while
Mrs. Jane Burns, lady aged 30 years,
and her daughter, residing on the Baltl-
more pike, near Morton, were eating
dinner, they became aware of the pres
ence OF somebody in.the adjoining room,
Mrs. Burns arose to investigate, when
she found stalwsrt colored man, who .
| at her appearance, jumped through an
| open window, and went toward Morton,
| firing a shot from revolver at her as
he ran. An hour later he returned, and,
| getting beneath window, was discov-
| cred by Mrs. Burns, when, with an oath
he drew revolver from his pocket and
fired three shots at the old lady. Luckily,
none of them took effect. Mrs. Burns
frightened nearly to death, hurried from
the window, and the .olored man disap
peared. Mr.. W ellis, neighbor, was no
lifted of the affair, and, heading part,
of a dozen men on horseback, a searcl
for the scoundrel was begun. The.
tracked him to Darby where tits though
! he Jumped aboard a south bound freigh
train. The scare and excitement s
: prostra ed Mrs. Burns, that she was OF
2 | liged to go to bed.

SEAFoRD.-The Sussex Index says -
Nature has been lavish in supplying the
resources, and left their practical develop
ment to the energy, courage and industry
Of wide awake community. Geogra-
phically, the location of Seaford is well
adapted to, and offers unrivaled advan-
tages for manufacturing purposes. This
is point eminently worthy of consider
alton of capitalists. A long, deep navig-
able stream, furnishing an outlet to the
Atlantic Ocean, an unobstructed river
front, the excellent railroad facilities,
and the contiguity of the place to the
county seat, offer superior inducements
to the industrial and manufacturing ele
ments. Built upon bluff some 80 feet
above the level of the river, it is exempt
from the malaria of the swamps and low
lands and basins; about equi-dstant be.
tween the Delaware and Chesapeake
Bays, the temperature is even and highly
salubrious. There is fruit of all kind
i'll abundance, while the river and pond
abound in fish, and clans, crabs, oyster
and terrapins are plentiful and cheap
Thus, while it affords every known at
vantage to the capitalist and manufa'
turer, it offers good and cheap homes
the laborer and mechanic.
