is that Garfield will attempt to do.
with the aid of Republican leaders.
Just what Mr.. Hayes foolishly tired
to do without such aid, viz: to re-
store harmony between the sections.
That q vast majority of the party
would have supported Mr.. Hayes in
his patriotic purpose. If assured that
be meant to work within the party
lines, is certain. As party men, how
ever, they thought it safer to follow
leaders whom they knew than to en-
ter the service of an unknown per-
son. Gen. Garfield ia too wise to re-
peat the mistake of his predecessor.
His interview with Senator Blaine 10
said to have been satisfactory to
both. That ought to be gratifying
to all right thinking and patriotic
men, for on the new Presidents abil-
ity to keep on good terms with Blaine
and half q dozen other Republicans

A big sensation has been kicked up
bv Frank Howard, son Of Chas. J..
Howard, the we'll known lottery man.
Frank, it seems, following in the wake
of his illustrious sirc, turns out to be
a ''shoddy" villain. In September
1879, with the assistance OF pal,
this noble scion of the Howard family
was joined in mock marriage to Mrs
Emma c. boswell. daughter OF the
late VIM. S. Pike, of New Orleans
Upon being deserted by this 'toney'
gentleman, the lady had her marriage

THE NEXT GEAR.

What may be in store for Turkey, Ger
many, or Austria-indeed, for Great Bri-
tan itself-from the moment the helm of
the Russian state ship shall be confded
to the vigorous grasp of Alexander Alex
androvlch, no man can say. The Gar
evich is Prince cast in very different
mold from that which shaped his weak,
amiable, easily-inhuenced sire He is
known to entertain fixed opinions, re-
solves, and projects, and to adhere TO
them with all the tenacity of singularly
determined and self-relying nature. OF
his feryent faith in the Panslavistic dog
mas no doubt has been entertained, since
he came to manhood, by those who know
him best; and his antipathy to all Ger
man men and things is no less notorious
than his sympathy with the attractive
qualities of the French nation. He is be-
lieved by his countrymen to be, before
all else, true and uncompromi3ing Rus
sian patriot; to hold in horror tie system
of peculation, bribery, and administrative
fraud that has honeycombed the Empire
during the last two reigns and brought it
to the brink of ruin; to have set bis face
in particular, against abuses Of their high
station practiced, hitherto with impunity
By certain of his own near relatives, and
to have vowed himself to the mission, as
far as the internal affairs on his favorite
land are concerned, of extirpating, root
and branch, the countless denominations
tolerated by his father with what results
the Nihilistic movement has only too ter
ribly demonstrated. The Russian Crown
Prince, under whatever title he may as
sumo the active government of his i'm
perial heritage, co-regent or other, is gen
orally expected to come forward as radi-
cal reformer at home, and as vigorous
promoter of the Panslavistic programme
abroad. Should he realize the antcipa-
tons at present entertained on his ac-
count, it is more that probable that Rus
sia's neighbors in Europe and in Asia
will, in the course of d few years to come,
find ample reason to regret the romantic
union that is about to lead to Alexander
Nicolaievich's pronunciation of imperial
sway in favor of Alexander Alexandra
vich.

A ONE POUND BABY.

For a week past the rumor has been
current III Oakland and on the ferry
boats that the Athens OF the Pacific had
produced phenomenon, second only in
Importance to the giant powder explosion,
III the shape OF a zone FOUNDER a re-
porter was yesterday dispatched to inves-
ugate, and was admitted to Il view of the
smallest sample OF the genus homo he
ever beheld. 1t was lost at the time in a
set OF ordinary baby clothes, the mother,
dellcate-looking young woman of Is,
finally finding it. 1t was Il days OF age,
and named Albert. Though perfectly
formed, as babies go, it was all head, like
prairie dog, and the head was the TIM
est and prettiest little head that ever
mothers smiled over. The eyes were large
enough to be decidedly blue, the nose
was as different from the usual plebean
wart which babies affect as could be ina
gined, being we'll defined, and the little
mouth resembled closely properly plant
ed bullet-hole from % revolver. a fine
head OF hair crowned the little grape-shot
Uranium, and plentitude OF wrinkles all
over the forehead gave an appearance of
gravity and knowledge of the world to
the new citizen far beyond its days. The
proud little mother raised several acres of
drapery and exhibited two tiny feet. They
were so small that both occupied with ease
an ordinary baby shoe, and each demand
ed dolls pedal garment for neat fit.
The hands, though completely furnished
with finger nails, looked precisely like
those OF baby monkey in size. When
born, it weighed about II ounces avoir-
dupois. Three days afterward, after it
had much increased in size, it weighed
one pound. The father and mother are
Mr.. and Mrs. William Sangey. Mr.. San
gey is painter by trade and a young man,
and thinks just as highly, if not more so,
OF his son, as if he weighed Is pounds.
Albert at present is lively when awake,
and very hungry and very sleepy in gen.
raj, these being the only prominent quail
ties of his temperament as yet.

INAUGURATION DAY PLANS.

WASHINGTON, November 13.-The in
itial steps have already been taken to ar
range for q public demonstration on the
part of the citizens of Washington on the
day of the Inauguration of president-elect
Garfield. At the inauguration of presi-
dent Hayes there was no demonstration
on the part of the citizens of this District,
owing to the fact that the official count of
the electoral vote was not completed by
Congress until within two days of March
4, which made q demonstration of this
character impossible. AS the election of
General Garfield is likely to be declared
by Congress without unusual delay, there
will be ample time to provide for the Gus
tomary demonstration, including an in
auguratlon ball on the evening of March
4. A number of military and civic Or
CARNATIONS of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Maryland have already
made inquiries about accommodations
during the first week in March. Some
dissatisfaction is being manifested
with the officers of the Post Office
in connection with this matter.
These officers it is alleged, have consti-
tuted an Executive Committee to take
charge of the proposed demonstration, of
which majority is composed ofther own
number. Demonstrations of this kind
have heretofore been arranged by citizens
OF the District without regard to party,
and it would be better if Government
subordinate officers would permit the
movement in honor of the President-eect
to emanate from the people, and to be
under their general direction.

CHAIRMAN BARNUM is getting particu-
lar fits from democratic as well as from
republican sources, for his insane attempt
to have the vote ofNew York thrown out.
and not counted for Garfield. Mr.. Bar
mum has not the support of a single demo
cratic newspaper of prominence, while
his scheme is deprecated by many.
Neither gre prominent individuals of the
same political faith as himself giving
countenance to Barnum in his attempt to
place president in the chair who was
not elected by the people. The follow
ing paragraph from a Richmond paper
also shows that he will not receive much
encouragement from his political friends
in the south.
"The northern press is doing its bestto
get up u silly and wicked excitement over
the election, crafty few fools and per-
haps unsettle business during the intereg-
mum that is between now and the decla-
ration OF the electoral vote in February
by Congress; but the worst and most out
rageous part of this miserable business is
the attempt to saddle the south with the
responsibility for it, by representing the
proposition to throw out the vote of New
York and declare Hancock elected in
Congress, or to elect him by the vote of
that body, as coming from Richmond.
No sane man here has ever thought seri-
.ously of contesting Garfeld's election,
and the same, we think, may be said of
the whole SOUTH
