All Sorts OF Paragraphs.

- If a man waits too long for some.
thing to turn up, it will be his toes.
= The Ohio River, which is n mile
wide at Louisville, Ky, in ordinary
stages of water, is now reduced TO the
width OF one throw, and is in feet but
little more than a succession Of great
puddles. Where the river usually
stretches out broad and rough, nothing
but bnre white rock is to be seen, and the
novelty of the thing is SO great that the
people of Louisville throng the empty
river bed seeking for shells or pretty
stones, or simply to enjoy the unprece-
dented spectacle, and on one day lately
it was estimated that 10, 600 persons were
rambling over the dry bottom Of the once
mighty stream.
= Gen. Grant Il reported by &C L::!scc.-=

"'Ohl I guess he will be nominated.
wont he?" OF Bayard "I always liked
Bayard, not because 1 think him o man
of extraordinary ability, but because /
think him n true man" or Garfield !:
He is an able statesman" OF Han
cock: "Ee would be stronger man than
'Tilden. but (Iaughing) poor Hancock
would be ossailed by the Catholics Tor
hanging the sainted Mn. Surratt, when
he was really no more responsible for it
than you were."
- With the proceeds Of subscription,
a monument has been recently erected al
Middle Tiger Church, in Spsrtanburg
County, to the memory of Miss Francis
Woodward, who was murdered on the 9th
of June last, by John J. Moore, for
which crime Moore was lynched ir, the
vicinity of the place where he had com.
mitted the deed. The monument is of
Italian marble, and stands six feet high
On q base of native grant,. The in.
scription is cut on raised shield facing
the East, and is as follows: "In memorv
Of Frances Woodward, born June %,
1859. Died defending her virtue, June
5, 1879. She loved her church, and
proved her fidelity in the sacrifice of her
life. Gently, stranger, sr ely tread, for
Christian sleeps below. Sha is not dead.
but sleepeth in the arms of Jesus" An
address was delivered on the occasion of
unyeiling the monument, by Rev. a. @.
Durham.
- It looks as If Dakota would be the
thirty-ninth State. It received o sudden
setback in 1878, from the postponement
of the Northern Pacific project, hut it
shortly recovered, and its growth has
since been rapid. In 1870 it's population
was about $4,000. Now it is estimated
at 10000, and IFS people think it will 10
10000 by 1880. This will clearly enti-
tie tito admission unless the Territory is
divided,a question which will be much
discussed. Dakota Is just three times as
large os New York, which would seem to
make 1t rather too colossal for convenient
management. The Missouri River is O.
natural division north aud south, having
Bismarck or Yankton for the capital Of
the eastern State, and tho western with
TIE political and business centre of tho
Black Hill mining region. If division
is decreed, however, Tin which case the
eastern halfmight be named "Pembina,")
admission to the Union would have to
be delayed. It Is asserted that three
quarters of the soil of Dakota is unsur-
passed on the slope for wheat-growing.
and there are six lines Of railroad now
being pushed across these lands from
east to west.
= Secretary of the Treasury Sherman
addressed q large Republican meeting at
Paterson, N. j., Saturday evening, many
of his hearers being silk weavers. He
claimed that the prosperity of the silk
manufacturing industry at Paterson
was due to- the protective tariff passed
by. Republican Congress, and sttribu.
ted TO the same party the merits of
the resumption act. Continuing, Mr..
Sherman said: sI want 10 serve notice
on the Democratic party tbst the Repub-
lican party have resolved on two things.
We are going to secura to every lawful
voter in this country the right TO voto
one ballot in United States elections and
no more. When member of Congress-
or officer Of the National Government is
to be elected Congress has power to reg.
ulato such elections, and the Repu6-
can party intend, If the present law il
not strong enough, to mako it still stron-
ger In Southern States that right Is
turned over to the very mon who depriv.
ed the people of their. rights by fraud
and violence. We intend to right that
wrong, so help US, Almighty God.n Mr..
sherman concluded by i,rophesyine bril-.
