That double barreled shotgun is rather
Distinguishing feature between the two
great parties and their respective cam
paign tactics. While on the one hand is
apparent a generous and kindly spirit of
liberation of honest differences Of opinion,
on the other is a summary appeal to pow
der and buck-shot. The effects of these
repectiYe sntagOnisims upon the temper of
the people, will be very much in the ratio
Of the success that shall follow the one or
the other-civiIizing in the one case, and
brutalizing and barboriziug in the other.

With the millions worth of surplus do
mestic productions to sell to foreign a.
tions who need and must have them; with
gold pouring into the public and private
Golfers of the country, almost by the ship
load; with the balance of trade heavily in
favor Of the United States; with steady
lily decreasing public debt-both in princi-
pie and interest aceount-with all these
encouraging facts before them, it is no use
for inhatiOnists, political and financial
bankrupts, and every grade of disappoint-
ed sorehesds and discarded political hacks
and demagogues to 60 about the country
endeavoring to make the people miserable
by telling them that irretrlevable ruin, and
that perdition black and inevitable, is the
destiny Of the American people unless they
turn the Government over to the Ewings,
Careys, Pistts, Thurmans and Tildens.
The man who in the face of all these con-
sideratiOns, can say that this country is
not blessed and prosperous, offers an in
suit to High Heaven, and would not be
happy in paradise.

The action of certain Democratic papers

in San Francisco isnot making much head
way. When it is remembered that the
trouble in that city is between the Work.
ingmen and Democrats, it is hard to see
just how Republicans can be held respon-
sible for the attempted assassination OF
Kalloch. The fact remains that the at
tempt to kill the Workingmen's candidate
was made by a Democratic editor. How
the election in San Francisco will be af-
fected remains to be seen, but the Repub-
icsns of that bailiwick don't seem to wor-
~ oyer the state of affairs as likely to at
feet their cause dissstrously. Under the
circumstances it looks very much as though
the best thing the people of San Francisco
could do would be to put the Republicans
in power, and that will probably be the
result of the present chaotic condition of
things in that city.

Oliver Wendell Holmes was 20 years old
on the 26th. 1t is pleasant to think that a
man who has charmed and delighted the
English-speaking world for so many years
is yet in the full maturity of his powers.
Age has not withered his infinite variety.
At 20 years his wit is as nimble, his fancy
as fertile, and his humor as glowing as
when he was in what most men call the
prime Of life.

The Syracuse Standard says: A Mrs.
Perry, living in the town of Springport,
Cayuga county, literally laughed herself
to death, it is supposed. She was enter
tanning at tea some old friends, whom she
had not seen before in years, and while re-
lating incidents of her younger days, she
became cOnvulsed with laughter at an old
time occurrence told by the visitors. and
before she could recover sank back in her
chair and died. The deceased was a pleth-
oric lady, and her death was attributed to
heart disease, aggravated by excessive
muscular action.

As to the Thompson-DeLand matter,
which is now the leading scandal of The
day, it is asserted by the papers, that the
Rev. Doctor, unless he has been persona
ted by some one else, carried their intima-
cy so far as TO put up at London hotel
for some days, as man and wife, and trav-
eled together on divers other occasions.
Taking these things for true, and that he
could so far forget his high position in the
church, the reputation he has gained
among men as a pulpit teacher and author,
and as a possible representative of his
country at one of the first courts of Europe,
as to sacrifice them to his infatuation for
a woman who was drawing her support
from a husband of rather meager and
scanty income, there is hardly any ex-
treme of folly TO which he might not have
gone if sanctioned, and perhaps encourag-
ed by the object of his idOlatry-a term
warranted by the tone of his letters.

The debt statement for the first of Sep
tember shows decrease during the month
of something over three and half mill
ions, ($3, 527, ,S95. .93,) which wipes out con-
siderably more than one-half of the in
crease which had taken place since the
opening of the current fiscal year. Mr..
Sherman is reported as regarding this
showing with considerable satisfaction.
He is of the opinion that it would have
been still larger but for the expenditures
rendered necessary on account of the ar
resrs of pensions. The statement is GER
tainly gratifying one, and it is still more
so when we remember that the expenses OF
the Government for interest have been SO
far reduced that, should the revenues re-
main the same, the debt may be steadily
lessened.

The germ theory Of the propagation OF
yellow fever, seems now to be rather an
accepted one, but no light has yet been
thrown upon the manner of destroying
the germs, further than may be done by
thorough sanitary and disenfectant means.
1t is claimed in regard to Memphis, that
the disease takes milder form this year
than last, or previous ones. This, how
ever, is not very apparent. Were the con-
ditions for its spread as favorable as here
tOfore, its malignity would hardly be less,
according to the indications. In most
cases, as we have followed them by the
papers, the symptoms are much the same
The treatment, however, may have gained
something from experience, but as to
meeting the elements of the disease success
fully, greater attainments in medical
science are called for.

the murder Of Dixon in Yazoo was not the

tense actuated' him. He hints that one of
these considerations was revenge for an al
legged slander of ''dear" ones. How the

ing in the back the man accused of defam-

Temperaments seem to differ very widely
walls of iutermlssion from labor. Not to
speak of the familiar varieties of constitution
with regard to sleep, there is no doubt
similar variety with regard to the power of
continuing any one kind of effort for months
or years. We have all heard accounts,
which sounded almost fabulous to ordinary
minds, of writers of fiction who, as one
novel is ended, begin another with no more
ceremony than their neigheors make of tax
ing fresh sheet of paper. Wesee constantly
before our eyes the manufacture of some
kinds of intellectual tissue which proceeds
as uninterruptedly as If by machinery. If
the product in such cases is not of the very
highest type, the facility of unintermitsiug
production is almost as wonderful q thing
in It's way as the power OF occasional soar
ing which belongs to q different order of
minds. The minds which. produce great
works at long intervals may, however,
possess, for aught we know. as great power
of continuous labor as those which turn out
mental and shoddy By the yard. Only the
power is more complex; and il we may
hazard a g1ess about such matters, we
should suppose that its flow even when
steadiest YVES likely to be composed, as 1t
were, of many currents, which 50 give place
to each other as afford intervals of relaxation
for each. In any great work OF imagination,
for instance the creative effort must be
much more rapid and transient than the Ia
Dor of working out details, SO that the imsg-
iDation may fold its wings for q long rest
while the hand is carrying out its orders
A highly organized mind is like grea. ship,
which pUrsues its appointed courss without
pause, though the officers slesp by turns
Smaller craft may have to lie to altogether
while the fishermen take their rest.
