SOME of the Republican papers are
publishing a speech delivered in
1876 in Indiana, by Colonel Bob In
gersoll, in which he lavished unrea-
sonable praises upon the Republicans
and hurled unreasonable epithets
and denunciations at the Democratic
party. He claimed that all OF the
seeding States were Democratic,
when, had he consulted truth rather
than imagination, he would have
found that for long series Of years
the Whig party carried good part
of the slave States against the Dem
ocrats- among them Tennessee,
Kentucky, Maryland, Louisiana,
Georgia, North Carolina, etc. Mr..
Bob. Ingersoll. in switching off from
infdel to Republican lectures. should
pay some regard to facts; and when
he says the Republicans did all that
was done in the war of the Union
side, he could find by truthful exam
ination that there were as many Dem
ocrats as Republicans in the Union
armies, and just about as many old
line Wings as Democrats in the
Southern armies. Bobby is more
fanciful than truthful in his lectures.

SOME of the cigarettes which are
smoked to SO large an extent are
said to be dangerous articles. A
physician had one of them analyzed,
and the tobacco was found to bs
strongly impregnated with opium,
while wrapper, which was warranted
to be rice paper, was proved to be the
most ordinary quality of white paper,
whitened with arsenic, the two pois-
ons combined being presented in
sufficient quantities to create in the
smoker the habit of using opium,
without being aware of it, and which
craving can only be satisfied by an
incessant use Of cigarettes.

JUDGE BLACK TO GEN. HANCOCK
When Gen. Hancock's Order Num-
ber 40 was made public, the Hon.
Jeremiah S. Black wrote him the
subjoined letter:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 80, 1867.
My DEAR GENERAL:-This moment
I read your admirable order. I am
much engaged, but I cannot resist
the temptation to steal time enough
from my clients to tell you how
grateful you have made me by your
patriotic and noble behavior.
Yours is the first most distinct
and most emphatic recognition which
the principle of American liberty has
received at the hands of any high
officer in a Southern command. 1t
has the very ring of the Revolution
ary metal. Washington never said
a thing in better taste or better time.
1t will prove to all men that " Peace
hath her victories not less renowned
than those Of war" I congratulate
you, not because it will make you
the most popular man in America,
for l dare say you care nothing
about that, but because it will give
you through all time the solid repu-
tation of true patriot and sincere
lover of your country, its laws and
it's government. This, added to your
brilliant achievements as a soldier,
will leave you without a rival in the
affections of all whose good will is
worth having, and give you place
in history which your children will
be proud of.
This acknowledgement from me
does not amount to much, but am
only expressing the feelings of mil
lions and expressing them feebly
at that.
With profound respect, yours,
J. S. BLACK.

mingliny with their anatomy toseth-
er in ever change of poetry-alive
and kicking and swimming in u glo-
rious healthy way that would make
a doctor sick for a month. The re-
porter was introduced to some of the
more venerable visitors and were
surprised to learn that they were
good swimmers. Miss Harvey said
that more than three-fourths ofthose
who came could swim and some of
them were really expert. Near the
center of the bath the sigh. was in
teresting and life giving. A "kid"
not more than six years old was
splashing around on It's mothers
breast. She was swimming on her
back and her strokes were powerful
enough to put an end to all discus
sion with refractory husband.
She weighs 275 pounds" re-
marked Sonora Fernandez.
Near the fieshy lady swan little
jointed, gray haired woman, with
spectacles lashed on her nose. She
propelled herself with the genuine
frog stroke and at times put in some
fancy work to show the young peo-
pie what an old lady could do. Some
of the poor girls wore only sort of
skeleton chemise, and it made one
sympathize with them in their power
ty. Among these sheeted ghosts
were misses in tights and rich women
in embroidered skin-tight suits of
the latest Cape May patterns. One
of the best divers stayed under three
minutes. She was absent 50 long
that Sonora suggested she had gone
to Coney Island to return by the
boat. A group of girls standing by
one of the dressing rooms spoke of a
presidential candidate as living so
near the water that his nose was al
ways cold, and therefore the keeper
wouldn't admit him on mems day.
One woman who came had hard work
to find a suit large enough for her
body. At last, one was found so ex-
pansive that it took the policeman's
breath away, who was standing by.
1t just fitted her, and measured two
yards in circumference, or two feet
in diameter. The airy creature
robed herself as if for feast and
then deliberately jumped into the
water, making iae bath aaas3 .rem-
BILE to it's centre, and every time she
kicked she disturbed the water as if a
whale were interviewing an iceberg
without lantern.

AT the Cincinnati Convention there
wore delegates in favor Of Hendricks,
others for Thurman. others for Field,
others for Bayard, etc., but all were
for harmony; and the man who did
not favor harmony and united action
in this canvass was out in the cold
in an instant. When Hancock's
name was mentioned the enthusiasm
was great. When he was nominated
it was unbounded, and it spread over
the city at once. Then Tammany
and anti -Tammany came together
and shook hands; and the Randall
and Wallace factions followed and
united. There was harmony and
qualification. There was confidence
Of success for that hour. The same
spirit has spread ger the country.
The old Democrats and the young
the friends OF economy and honest
government have united and the
prospects of q sweeping victory are
brilliant. Those who do not come
in harmoniously will be left out in
the cold. This is no year for fac
tions or contentious. Straight work
for the UNION party, or 60 over to the
enemy-for the Democracy will toll
crate no traitors in 1880-it will be
a campaign and q result OF the An
DREW JACKSON order, this time.

The Nachess Pass.
Tacoma Ledger.

laCOubA AeuXeT.
After a careful instrumental sur
vey of this pass from Wilkeson, the
PRACTICAL lity of constructing a rail-
road on the line was placed beyond
cavil, not only this, but it has been
proven to the best route for rail-
road ever found anywhere over noun
tains of a similar altitude, there be-
ing an entire absence of chasm or
abrupt elevations at any point; neith-
er is there any evidence Of snow slides
ever having occurred on any portion
of the ground usually covered with
snow. For the above reasons and
others intimately connected with the
traffic and Development q Eastern
Washington, the route has been
chosen. The task of locating the
road will be carried forward by
Colonel Isaac Smith and his assist
ants, Messrs. Sheets, White, Whit
field and Bogue-each one Of whom
will probably be in charge Of . party
of men-with the greatest possible
dispatch that accuracy will permit.
Mr.. White, upon his return from the
Yakima country, will be put in charge
of another section, and Mr.. Bogue
still another, after completing his ex-
ploration of SnoquaImie gap. As it
will require fully two months to per-
form the work Of location, not q day
is to be lost il attacking it in full
force. The benefit that will accrue
to both sections of Washington by
building the road to Puget Sound is
of great magnitude, and it ia quite
safe to predict that when the loca-
tion shall have been completed the
order will come to commence it's
construction at once.

GIN AND GnN1us.

We ecently heard a man say that
"Genius and Gin were Gemini,
twins-ihat the greatest orators, ac-
tors, lawyers, poets, warriors, pro
foundest statesmen, ave, and many
celebrated divioes, were men who
patronised gin aod other liquors
for instance: Blackstone, Sheridan,
Savage, Jeiirys, Burns, Bryon, Bis
marck, Webster, Prentice, he poet,
Prentiss the lawyer, Poe, Tom Mar~
shall, Grant, and our great minded
Toombs." Genius is eccentric, It's
true, and one of its phases sometimes
is drunkenness and a great mind
may stand a great strain long time,
because of its divine essence, and
more especially because of the Won
derlul power of the machinist who
moulded it; and though il may be
Blackstone wrote his celebrated
Commentaries with a pitcher of port
never empty by his side, and Byron
wrote. Dan Juan under the inspira-
ton of gin. these are exceptional ca
SEES; aud the young man who is ready
to accept them as . general rule, and
act upon them, will find to his sor
row, that while wit, wisdom and wine
may here and there flow in the same
channel, sll the vineyards in France
cannot pui brains where God Al,
mighty never intended they should
be.

Rye meal is believed by many
bee keepers to be the very best sub
etitute for bee bread, when the latter
is not in full supply. The meal
should be put in shallow boxes or
tronghs near the apiary. A few
pieces of empty comb put on the
meal would soon attract the atten-
ton of the bees to it. This food
causes the bees to send out larger
and earlier swarms than those not
similarly treated.
