THE nomination by acclamation of
Hon. Samuel Butler of Chester county
for State Treasurer, by the Republican
State Convention is a merited compli.
ment to man of sterling qualities of
head and heart. Mr.. Butler is inl-
mensely popular at home and vouched
for by hosts of friends in both political
parties as a gentleman of the strictest
Integrity, afable and courteous in
manner and thoroughly qualified for
the responsible position for which he
has been nominated. He possesses all
the elements of popularity without
any of the weakness of the merely
"clever fellow" Mr.. Butler is in no
sense politician, and the office for
which be has been banned is not of his
seeking. The Office, in search of hon.
est, modest, distinguished merit, has
sought him out, and there is no ques.
tion about his election by large ma
jority.

during the present year. The series
embrace eleven resolves, and some ol
them will be recognized as cold sol
diers," while others are only "raw
recruits" The very briefest resolu-
tion in the lot is the one that will
attract the most attention. 1t figures
as No 6 in the line, and is as follows
Sirth-The Democratic party, as oi
old, favors constitutional currency
gold, silver, and paper convertible into
coin.
These are few words, but what a
weight of sorrow they must bring to
the Democrats in some localities of
the State where they have, for the
sake of coalition and spoils, renounced
all such old time doctrines as the
above, and swallowed the entire
Greenback creed A year ago no
such resolution as the above would
have been offered in the State Conven-
ton Of the Pennsylvania Democracy,
much less been adopted. Then the
Democrats were making bold bid
for Greenback votes, and were ready
to throw Democratic doctrines and
principles to the winds. They pros
trated themselves before the Green.
back Baal and worshipped him, but
without avail. Their prayers of devo-
tion were the prayers of hypocrits, and
availed nothing. The votes were not
forthcoming, and the ticket headed by
Mr.. Dill was overwhelmed. Now they
have turned their backs upon Green.
backism, evidently with the purpose
of endeavoring to win back large
element of the honest, old.time Demo
crats who abandoned the party in dis
gust when the controlling leaders
abandoned the principles of the party.
1.-The Democratic party, as of old,
favors constitutional currency % 1t
was we'll to insert the clause "as of
DID," for lately the Democratic party
has done nothing Of the kind. If this
resolution means anything, it is an
endorsement Of the correctness of the
Republican policy Of resumption, n
policy, by the way, which was resisted
with desperation by the Democratic
party up to the very day of its consu.
nation. This endorsement was sure
to come sooner or later; it has come
sooner than was expected, from the
Pennsylvania Democracy. That party
generally manages to get into the
wake of tie Republicans, and, ifpusgi.
BILE, catch listle of the glory of great
achievements. The Democracy iesist-
ed the emancipation Of the slaves up
to the day the grand proclamation was
Issued. A year later scarce Demo.
crat could be found in the Northern
States who would admit that he ever
was opposed to emancipation. They
resisted the enfranchise sement of the
colored men, but not one Of them will
admit it. And now they are already
beginning to change front on the
question Of resumption. Up to the
last moment when resumption of
specie payments went into effect the
Democrats in Congress denounced
"the ruinous and beartless policy of
John Sherman" and we're striving to
pass Greenback imitation legislation.
Now they turn around and declare
that "the Democratic party, as of old,
favors constitutional currency-gold,
silver and paper convirtible into
coin"
Another victory achieved by the
Republican party-its financial policy
endorsed by the Democrats

At Galveston, Texas, on the 18th inst,
VIM. L. Bonner, an attorney, shot and
killed j. J. Wheeler, editor of the Calves
ton Banner. The shooting was the result of
an old quarrel over law suit.
The Observation-Disclosures feud at Gray
son, KY, developed again on the 18th inst,
when Jesse Underwood was shot in the door
OF his fathers house. The HoIbrook party
commanded the place and threatened death
to any one who dared to bury the body or
rescue George, who is badly wounded, and
with the women and children, all that is lett
of the unfortunate Underwoods. This
makes the fifth murder in Carter county
within three weeks, four of the victims
being Underwoods and one Holbrook.

tween John Bowles ard his brother.in.law

wounds, mortal in both cases, it is thought.

Flannel ShrOuds.

At the restoration, the clergy took the
existing registers into their charge, and
became the national registrars. During
the reign of Charles H., singular act
was passed, which has left conspicuous
mark on the parish records. 1t was
meant to "lessen the importation of
linen from beyond the seas, and to en-
courage the wooden manufacture of this
kingdom;" and with these objects it pro-
vided that the dead should be buried in
wooden only. Compliance with its re-
quirements were often noted in the
registers; occasionally in every burial
entry individually, as at West Braden-
ham, in Norfolk, where each insertion
contains the words: "Buried in wooden,
and nothing but wooden, as appeared by
affidavit" This affidavit the statute
required to be made by the friends of
the deceased, and to be brought to the
officiating clergyman. A prejudice still
existing among the lower classes in favor
of shrouds made of flannel is, no doubt,
an outgrowth from the now obsolete
compulsory usage of 200 years ago.

The SunhOwer.

Everybody knows the common SUM-
flower, of the genus Helianthus, which
abounds in most of the back yards and
inclosed grounds of the small towns and
villages, and, indeed, throughout the
rustic regions of the whole Republic.
The sunfower is self-sowing, we belive,
and grows spontaneously in every part
of the country. 1t is so common here
that nobody cares for it; yet it is not
without large, gorgeous kind of beau
ty, which would be appreciated were the
plant scarce, or were any pains taken to
rear it. Elsewhere the sunfower, if not
admired, is esteemed for practical rea-
sons. Many of our native aboriginals
make bread of the seeds. It is cultivat-
ed in South Europe, sometimes as field
crop, the seeds being used as food for
cattle and poultry, and also for making
oil, which is little inferior to olive-oi,
is burned in lamps, and employed in the
manufacture of soap. Meal and bread
are said to be got from the seeds in
Portugal, and these, roasted, are often
substituted for coffee. The seeds are
also used like almonds for making sooth-
ing emuisions, and in some parts of the
old world are boiled and fed to infants.
The leaves are good fodder for cattle,
the stems serve for fuel, and contain
much potash. The different species Of
sunfower Indigenous to the United
States number some 40, scattered from
ocean to ocean and from New England
to the gulf. For a plant generally
counted unworthy, as it is with us, it
surely has many valuable uses.

The story is well known of Senator
Sharon stepping in and assuming
Rslston's debts. For a time he was SO
crippled with this burden that it was q
toss from day to day when he would go
under, but hard struggle has brought
him slowly out from under the $11, 00O,-
600 debt cloud that hung over him. For
this reason he spent little of his time in
his seat in the senate. Absence at certain
times would have lost it all for him.
They say he only draws his pay, but he
spends all of it and more in entertaining
his congressional friends at Belmont,
some of whom go up to bed in the eleva-
tor between two servants, and some save
themselves from sliding under the table
by stumbling out by the kitchen door.

A band of ten or twelv outlaws are COM

They have plenty of arms and money and

the outlaws attacked the premises of Luke
Robinson, and burned his barns, stables and
gins. Two men, standing guard, were tired

The order of the postmaster general

The order Of the postmaster general
regarding the prohibition of all letters
addressed to lottery companies from the
mail, is being rigidly enforced. All such
letters are sent to the dead letter Office.
The department is pursuing an investi-
CATION as to the extent Of the business
done, ard the methods by which the
statutes and the recent order are evaded
by the lottery companies, with view to
determining whether any postmaster at
any office Of delivery, who has judicial
notice of the business engaged in by the
companies and their agents, can hold let
tiers which arrive in large numbers ad-
dressed to a person whose connection with
the lottery company is not openly
stated.

Postal Curiosities.

In spite of official warnings and no.
tees almost without number, people still
continue to send to the postofice articles
which cannot be handled or delivered.
In the New York Office within the past
mon b the searcher department has
found in the mail bags and held as un-
mailable matter the following:
Received alive-Rattlesnakes, black
snakes, copperhead snakes, moccasin
snakes, cats, grasshoppers, bees, hornets,
wasps, alligator, canary birds, potato
bugs, horned frogs, tortoise turtles.
Received dead--Mice, butterflies,
humming-birds, rats, insects squirrels,
quail, bugs, pheasants.
Cooked articles-Plum pudding,
boiled quail, ham, sandwiches bread and
butter, cake, crackers, bread pudding,
jelly, custard, cheese, sausages.
Observation-Disclosures, loaded cart
ridges, torpedoes, medicines, glassware,
clothing, soiled undergarments, baby
clothes, hosiery, hair brushes, combs,
carpenter tools, pieces of machinery,
fence-wire, gold and silver watches,
jewelry, novelties and notions Of all
kinds, shrubs, roots, scions, herbs, fresh
and dried; fruits and flowers, six cases
of dynamite were thrown into the East
river to prevent serious disaster.
But it is not only in posting matter
which cannot be mailed that the public
is careless to a degree almost beyond
belief. Hardly day passes that letters
unsealed, unaddressed and containing
sums of money checks and other
valuables, are not dropped into the
boxes. During the past six months ], 153
unsealed registered letters were received
at the New York Office. They contain
ed in cash $6,849.21; and in checks,
drafts, ETC., $2O4, 615.56, making a total
of $211 ,464.7 posted in unsealed envel-
opes. Not long ago well-known city
bank posted 81, 100000 worth Of United
States bonds, which were unregistered
and easily negotiable, in an envelope so
fimsy that it broke open before it left
the stamper's table. Similar instances
CT carelessness could be repeated almost
without number. Indeed it is hardly to
be wondered at that the officer who
related these circumstances felt called
upon to excIaim in conclusion. The

THE English parliamentary commits
sion last week visited Mr.. Dalrymple, the
great wheat farmer of the Red river of
the north. The members of the COM
mission could not understand how he
could manage $4,000 acres of land, nor
how he could raise wheat at 35 cents q
bushel. Mr.. Dalrymple explained his
processes infinitely. He showed how
easy it was to divide it into lots of 5000
acres each, and hold superintendent
responsible for the work done on that
division. 1t was not difficult to harvest
the crops when there were, as this year,
lis selfbinding reapers employed, nor to
thresh it when twenty-one steam thresh.
ers, averaging. i, 900 bushels day, wer
used. The discussion on freights via
the lakes was terminated with this re-
marks CT could sell wheat in New
York fer rs cents per bushel and not
lose anything" 1t was figured by one
of the party that wheat from this farm
could be sold in Liverpool at So cents.

Valises that Look Alike.

1t the trunk manufacturers do not
quit making SO many thousands of
valises exactly alike, somebody is going
to get into some awful trouble about it
sometime, and some trunk maker will be
sued for damages enough to build
court house.
The other day an omnibus full of pas
sengers drove up town from the union
depot. Side by side sat a commercial
traveller, named William Macaby, and
Mrs. Winnie @. Dumbleton, the eminent
lady temperance lecturer. When the
omnibus reached the Barrel house the
commercial missionary seized his valise
and started out. The lady made grab
after him and he halted.
II beg your PARDON" she said, "but
you have my valise."
" You are certainly mistaken mad
ane," the traveller said, courteously but
firmly, "this is mine.'
Ono sir" the lady replied firmly, " it
is mine. | would know it among
thousand. You must not take it."
But the traveller persisted and the
lady insisted, and they came very near
quarreling. Presently one of the pas
sengers pointed to twin valise in the
omnibus, and said:
Whose is that?'
1T isn't mine," said the traveller, sit
is just like it, but this is mine.'
"And it isn't mine," said the lady,
"he has mine, and I'll have it or I'll
have the law On him. It's q pity if
lady can't travel alone in this country
without being robbed of her property in
broad daylight"
Finally the traveller said he would
open the valise to prove his property.
The lady objected at first, saying she did
not want her valise opened IN the pres
ence of strangers. But as there was no
other meansof settling the dispute she at
length consented. The traveller sprung
the lock, opened the valise, and the
curious crowd bent forward to see.
On the very top of everything lay
big fiat flask, half full of whisky, deck
of cards, and one Or two other things
that nobody knows the name of.
The traveller was the first to recover
his self-possession and speech.
"Madam," he said, "you are right.
The valise is yours. owe you thou
sand apol-"
But the lady had tainted, and the
traveller relocked his valise with quiet
smile. Early in the afternoon sign
painter down town received a note in q
feminine hand, asking him to come to

valise in black letters foot and q half
