THE RAvINGs OF MADNESS.

THE Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser and
Nal is so mad on account Of CoRNELLs
election that it cannot hold its wrath with
in the bounds of common decency and pro-
priety. On the contrary, it presents itself
MS a marked case of hydrophobia, wherein
the sufferer, in its blind madness, snaps at
whatever object happens to fall in its way.

be no doubt that tho dc .tdcio President HIM

most dscouraging results. But, seriously,
the publication in its columns of such an

FOUR MONTHS IN A sNEAK-BoX A BOAT

author of"Noyage in Paper Canoe" Boston !:
Lee, Shepard x Go. Washington, ID. c.: William
Ballantyne Son.
No doubt that the average reader would be
glad to learn carly what sort of a craft sneak
box is, aud We can put him on the track here
and now. Buy copy of this volume, and in
its very introduction will be found the ex-
planation-that Barnegat sneak-box is a craft
of purely American model, developed by the
Bay men of the New Jersey coast of the United
States and recently introduced to the cunning
fraternity. 1t is only twelve feet long, but
very staunch-so much SO, that the author of
this book travelled more than 1000 miles on
board on the Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico.
The book must tell the balance.

THE idea of Republican corruption at the
polls or in the count Of the last election in
New York is simply amusing, not to say
preposterous. Everybody knows that to
cheat the Democracy, or out-cheat them, in
the Empire State would be TO accomplish
the impossible. Last Tuesdays election
was fair election, and those Democrats
who begin to howl about fraud, now that
they discover they have been beaten, make
themselves ridiculous. In fact, they con.
fess the weakness of their own case and
prove by this exhibition of imbecile chagrin
that New York is no longer, as they claim
q debatable State.
