The Meanest Man in the World.

OF all the mean characters that have
come under our observation the mcaneSt
of all is the dyspeptlC CyniC, to whom
grumbling has become a second nature.
The weather is always too hot or too
dry; the meat is too rare or too thor
oughlv cooked, too fat or too lean-in
short, he grumbles about every thing
from his coffee to Congress He is al
ways in want OF something he has not,
and forever disconnected with whatever
he has. Contrariness is his distinguished
trait. If his wife desires TO spend the
evening with a friend he insists upon
STAYING at home. He warns all his
bachelor friends to beware ofmatrimOny.
His brain is so full ofwhims and crotch
cts, there is little room for reason or
sense. But the dyspeptic cynic reaches
the acme of disagreeableness when a
diseased liver has supplemented the
grumbling OF hypOchOndria. Then the
slightest unpleasant circumstance is
magnitied into something mOmentOus
and terrible. The victim becomes dis
trustful of his best friends, and all sorts
of imaginary evils haunt the weakened
brain. This picture is not overdrawn,
a thousands Of homes can attest-hOmes
in which domestic happiness and har-
mOny have been wrecked by-nOthing
more than a dyspeptic and chronic dis
ease OF the liver. Given a sound stom-
ach and healthful liver and the results
will almost invariably be health and a
cheerful temper. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets are uniailing remedies for all
chronic diseases OF the stomach and
liver. Druggists mark them as the most
popular domestic remedies on their list.

sUPERINTENDENT's REPORT.
Superintendent Hervey submitted his
monthly report, as follows:
WHEELING, May 10, 1879.
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1879-09-12

The Republican triumph in the Califor
MIA election proves what has been so often
aflrmed-that the Democrats are not par
ty to hold their own in seasons Of prosper
ity. The history Of the party affords nu-
merous instances where it has perfected
its victory over its opponents, and seemed
Just about to pluck the fruits, when it
has been overcome with disappointment,
and the fruition dashed from its enjoy
ments. Such is emphatically the present
case. By the exclusion, in the last Presi-
dental election of large number of Re
publican voters, they came near succeed
ing in the election Of Tilden, and by the
same means the political character of both
Houses of the legislature, have since been
changed. All that remained was to con-
tinue their measure of success, and two Of
the three branches of the Government
would he theirs. The third-the judiciary
could then easily be manipulated, and
everything would be in their hands. The
party was putting forth its best efforts to
make sure the result of next year. Things
looked promising and the Brigadiers were
counting on a glorious campaign and an
advance upon the treasury that would meet
their highest ambition. But, alas, the piv-
otal elections are upon US. California has
turned her heel upon the Democracy and
all its fattering and absorbing prospects.
Its strength in the lower branch of the leg
isIative department of the government.
which made them so wild and boistrous in
the extra session, has been reduced. The
State ticket has been carried by the Repub-
Hcans and the Democracy are no where.
In the Maine election, too, they have been
badly demoralized, and substantially swal-
lowed up by the Greenbaekers. They do
not show anything like the strength Of last
year. They have been stripped of their
consequence as a party, and their showing
is a very poor one indeed for a party that
claims to be marching on to the control of
the government. Its decadenee may be
considered as begun. Ifit was capable of
discretion. or anything becoming, this ad-
monition might be turned to account in
lowering It's crest, and thus exercising a
little show Of something like respectful de-
cency of demeanor. Coming as Yolunta-
ry virtue the moral effect would be to ease
the fall that is just before them, and which
may oyertake them with prrcipitate sud-
denness. Adversely and humility may as
well be taken into account, and wisdom
would suggest some little preparation for
the change.

EMPIRE STATE-The Republicans of the
Empire State met in convention at Sara
toga, on the Sd instant, and on the first
ballot nominated Hon. A. B. Cornell, as
their candidate for Governor. United
States Senator Conkling was unanimously
chosen temporary chairman Of the Conven-
tion, and in the course of bis impressive
speech said:
Following resumption has come renewed
business prosperity, and all that is wanted
is to keep off the hands of scheming men,
non-inferference with business by legisia-
tion. and all will be well. Republican as
tendency means maintenance and resump-
tion of prosperity, and Republican ascen-
Gencv would be sure and easy if all the
votes of the country could be freely cast
and fairly counted. But this. unfortunate
w.. could not be, because in part Of the
country the vote of the people was not free.
The pretension of State rights again once
more raises its head. Itdeclares that there
shall be no free elections, there shall be no
fair count.
The majority of the two houses of Con-
gress at its late session took the Govern
ment by the throat and then threatened to
strangle it to death unless the President
would sign bills which he knew to be un-
righteous and unjust. Jury laws that
have stood for more than eighty years were
proStrated and the jury box prostltuted.
This was in order to give license to law
lessness on election day, and every day the
army was manacled, not only on all days
but on that very day when 1t should be
most ready to act in support OF National
liberty. This was all for the purpose of
stran.ling elections in behalf Of brutal
candidates. Four southern states are GER
tainly Republican by a large majority, and
two more are on the same side If their
votes could be recorded. But there will
be no contest in the next Presidential cleo
ton in the South, there will be no election
there worth the name. Every vote vii be
registered for the Democratic candidate,
whoever he may be.
This done only AZ more votes will be
needed. New York has thirty-Seven of
those votes and this must be known and
understood. Thus a great responsibility
rests upon her; she viii decide the contest
in 1890. The action Of New York this year
will 90 far toward deciding the question.
The action of New York this year will de-
eide whether the taX-paylng people shall
rule this country or not. Referring to
party differences in the past, Senator COnk-
ling claimed that all of them had been set
tied and the party was a unit. No matter
which was ght or wrong in the past, now
all Republicans stand together on every
essential or living issue. We knew that
Democratic success now would mean sec
tiOnal domination, consequently with the
ticket and platform to be here made the
state could be lost only by inattention and
neglect. New York, imperial as she is.
must 90 to the head of the Republican
column; tc this let US now and here pledge
ourselves and each other.

TEMPERANCE.
BY THE woMEN's TEMPERANCE UNION


Dear Tezegraph:-A little incident oc-
Cured yesterday. A powerful black horse
(not Sheridan's) became frightened and ran
along a country road. The farmers were jus
at dinner. One heard the noises and rush
ed into the street just in time to see the
fleet animal elude his efforts to stop him.
A second and third man, with all their
energies put forth, had a like experience.
At length a young man heard the comno-
tion in time to reach the highway before
the flying creature had passed. With what
anxiety he sprang forward and caught the
bride, and what effort he put forth to hold
the excited animal, and what thanksgiving
went up from every heart that knew the
trouble. Why all this anxiety? Why did
every mothers heart stand still, every sis
ter's cheek blanch, and every boy wish he
had the power of ten men? In the buggy
sat little four year old girl, beloved not
only by her parents but by the whole neigh
bOrhood, and it was her peril which actu-
ated all this interest. We say this effort
was right, it was human, and one who
could look with indifference must be
monster. But are there not many in every
community, and even in the christian
church, who remain apparently Indifferent
while multitudes are in infinitely greater
peril than was the dear child of whom
write. Suppose the young man who avert
ed the danger, satisfied in his own safety
had remained at his work, or suppose, even.
he had stopped to consider what was ex-
pelent, saying 1--WE must act discreetlv;
if 1 should attempt to catch that horse and
should not succeed the case might be worse
than it is now" What absurdityl No
sane man would wait 20 argue with expedi-
eney under such circumstances. To the
rescue is the only thought that has place
in his mind. What good did those do who
tried and failed to stop the horse. They
gave the alarm. That is one thing that the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
would dove would give the alarm.
Brothers, men, young men, there is peril
all abroad. Do not sit still in the con-
sciousness Of your own integrity, and the
security Of your own temperance princi-
pies. There is peril-souls are being borne !
forward on an almost resistless tide Of |
temptation. Go to the rescue every man,
and especially every young men. Il write |
unto you young men because Ye are strong"
August es, 1879 $.
