Religious revivalism in England has

Prince Jerome Napoleon's nick
name of "Plon-Plon" was, it is said,
obtained in his childhood at Stuttgart,
where he was a great fsvOrite with the
late King William of Wurtemberg. The
King used to amuse himself by asking
the little Prince his name, and the child,
who could not then speak plainly, al
ways answered, "Plon-Plon" instead
of Napoleon" 1t was in this way
that he became known by this name at
the Wurtemberg Court, and he has never
lost it since.

to turn to "Keys." This was about the

all the different encyclopedias
that appeared. There would
be no "spreads" involved,
no expenses of receiving friends

THE campaign in Ohio has not
been regularly opened yet, but
great deal of interest is manifested
in it, not only in the State, but all
over the Union. The Republicans
will enter it with more than their
usual determination to win. They
are united and working together
harmoniously. There are no fac
tons. Mr.. Foster is a man of
ability, and his energy knows no
bounds. He never ran for Con-
gress in his district that he did not
receive a vote larger than that of
his party. The abIest and best
men in the Nation will participate
in the canvass. Senators Blaine
and Chandler are already engaged
to make a number of speeches. In
addition to these, Logan, of Hi
nois, Hale and Frye, of Maine,
Burrows, of Michigan, and others
will take part. Ohio will be a
thoroughly canvassed State, and a
Republican victory may be looked
for with certainty. We trust Re-
publican Legislature will be chosen,
and then a Republican Senator to
succeed Thurman.

AN ACCIDENTAL TRUTH.

Ben. Hill, of Georgia, is getting
to be the boss gusher in American
politics. His party associates in
the Senate have learned long ago
that he needs safety~valve to keep
him from exploding at the wrong
time and blowing up things. He
has happy faculty of saying i'm
possible things, and making asser-
lions directly in conflict with the
truth of history. He made a
speech in New York since Congress
adjourned, before the Tammany
gang, and, as usual, gushed.
Among other extravagant things he
declared that more had been done
&" for the liberties of the people in
the four months of the late infa-
nous extra session than any
other four months of our
history. This he said without
any condition or qualification, thus
placing the services of hot-head-
ed, unpatriotic, ambitions, ignorant,
and reckless majority in that body
against the services Of Washington
and his compeers in the Revolution,
and the services of the Union
officers and soldiers in the late
Democratic rebellion.
But while he meant to perpetrate
a reckless falsehood, he uttered a
great truth. Before the extra ses-
sion, there was some slight danger
that the Democrats would control
the Government after 1880. Now
it is entirely dissipated. There
were some good people who hoped
and perhaps believed, that the party
would be led in the future by mel
of common sense and patriot
motives, but the action of the ma
jority has been such as to convince
the thoughtful men Of the country
that the Democratic leaders are no
to be trusted. They have demon
strated the Il fact that they
will rule or ruin, and that to plac'
them in power would be destructive
of the best interests of the country
The extra session has cost the
nation thousands, aye hundreds o.
thousands Of dollars, and has mo-
resulted in single measure for tht
public good, but it has afforded The
insurrectionary spirits of Democ'
racy an opportunity to show theil
hands. They have exposed theil
hideous intentions and have thrown
off the masks behind which they
hoped to deceive, SO that their rea
character is generally understood
and the doom of certain defea-
awaits them. So, while Ben Hill
meant to perpetrate a slande BY
comparison, upon the brave ant
patriotic defenders of the Union O.
