the political body depended upon the exer-
tons of a single class, and with its virtue
freedom expired. The splendor Of success
or the efforts of genius might retard the APP
proach Of disaster or conceal the growth Of
corruption, but the season Of maturity
stripped the tree of its foliage, and the trunk,
fed by no perennial fountain and invigor-
ated by no ascending nourishment, yielded
without resistance to the blast of winter"
If we are not much mistaken the dangers
of Radicalism, under which the country has
labored for twenty years, will soon be wiped
out. Every patriotic heart is fully alive to
the growing and enormous evils which this
party in power has inflicted upon us. This
black craft, with bulwarks knocked in, sails
tattered, without compass, conflict of
authority among its many captains, a crazy
crew, stands condemned and trembling upon
the verge Of destruction.

Our personal appearance is matter in
which our friends and acquaintance have a
right to a choice whether we shall inflict
upon them an exterior uncared for and un-
attractive, a countenanee marred by neg
lected grizzled beard, or a crown guiltless
Of covering, half covered, or matched with
white hairs, or whether we shall in Difference
to our fellows, pay due regard to our own
persons, and make them presentable and ac-
ceptable in society. There are many helps
for those who desire to do this, and there
are none among them more acceptable than
Halls Hair Remover and Buckingham's
Dye for the whiskers. Both these prepare
tons are kept for sale at all our drug stores,
and if any Of our friends are looking little
worse for wear, we advise them to make a
note OF it--NorM Star, DaapilLe, VI.

The Courtney Hanlan boat race come off
on Wednesday over the Potomac course,
over an hour later than was expected, it
having been postponed ON account of the
heat, which had especially affected Court
ney. Over one hundred thousand witnessed
the race. Courtney led at the start, but Han
Ian soon passed him and maintained his lead,
winning the race in 81 minutes. Courtney
did not pull over the last mile of the course,
but turned aside and went to his boat-house
Mr. Courtney had better go back to carpen-
tering, for it is evident that he is too I'M
lucky man ever to succeed as champion
oarsman.

Unless tobacco growers generally are more
fortunate than our neighbors of the lower
counties, there will be but light crop praised
this season. All through that section the
fly has killed the plants, and in consequence
of the impossibility to obtain them much of
the tobacco land is being put in corn. In
Prince Georges county the acreage of to-
bacco will not be more than one-third of the
usual acreage. In Charles and st. Mary's
the acreage will be even less, and in Anne
Arundel considerably less than half the
crop will be planted

Senator Bruce, colored, is recommended
by the Republicans of Mississippi for the
nomination of Vice-President at Chicago;
and Senator Ferry has received the same
compliment in his own State, and inasmuch
as no other candidates for the honor are in
the field, Bruce will have to fight it out with
Ferry. The colored peoples claims are just
and their modesty is, indeed, characteristic;
they should urge their colored Senator and
brother for the Presidency, inasmuch as the
colored vote of this country is the best part
Of the Republican vote at large.

From one of our exchanges we learn that
Professor Graham calculates that in order to
perform an amount of mechanical work
equal to lifting 140 pounds 10000 feet high
a man must cat five pounds of potatoes, one
and-a-third pounds offlour, two and -a-third
pounds of bread, one-and-a-quarter pounds
Of rice, three-and-a-half pounds of lean beef,
half pound of beef fat, and ne-and-a-fifth
pounds ofCheshire cheese. If it is necessary
to eat meal like that to do it we are not
going to lift 140 pounds 10000 feet high, or
any equivalent job. We shall go right along
with an ordinary fifty-cent meal and be con-
tent with lifting 140 pounds upon our knees
three nights in the week. That's as high as
we care to lift 140 pounds.

The passage of bill to regulate the
electoral count has been agitated a good
deal of late, but there seems no probability
Of the passage of such measure The
Democrats got cheated out of the presi-
dency in 1876 by the passage of the Elec-
toral Commission bill and look for the same
result should a bill regulating the count be
enacted into law. The Republicans, too,
approach the subject with considerable trepi-
dalton, and both sides are almost equally
afraid Of being oyerreached. 1t is safe to
say that no bill of the kind can be passed
before the presidential election, the general
disposition being to let the electoral count
take care of ITSELF

The Bearded Woman.

lilly Haynes, proprietor of the United States Hotel, in Boston, tells this story of how MT. Barnum found the bearded woman, whose death was lately an- nounced:
 Mir. Haynes was then living in Spring field, and the great snowman was vis- ting there. MT. Barnum never let slip an opportunity to add to his collection of living curiosities, and so he said to MT. Haynes:
 "I say, lilly, is there anything curious or remarkable around here?"
 "Not that I know of" said MT. Haynes, "unless it is that woman down at South Wilbraham that has got 8 reg ular beard all over her face"
 "A beard-a genuine beard p ex- claimed the snowman. "Wonderful Just the thing. Where does she lives' MT. Haynes directed MT. Barnum, who started off pest haste in search of the bearded woman. He reached the house, knocked at the door, and it was opened by woman with long brown beard. Barnum was in ecstacies.
 "Are you Mrs. Lyon?" he asked. "ls this all natural, all genuine?" and he gently tugged at the beard.
 Mrs. Lyon was naturally indignant. "Oh, don't get mad. Don't get mad, said the snowman. "I'm here on bus mess and mean business. I want you to come and travel with my show. Tn P. T. Barnum. What1l you take?"
 Mrs. Lyon hesitated. "Tll call my husband" she said. Mir. Lyon came from the field.
 "I want your wife to come with my show. What'n you take?" said MT. | Barnum.
 "What's it worth?" asked the Yankee | farmer.
 MT. Barnum thought moment and answered, "Well, guess $10 week and expenses"
 This was wealth to the South Wilbra' ham farmer and his wife, and they ac. cepted the offer at once. Since that day Madame Lyon has been before the public,

A Farmers Offset.

A "hired man" who has been en- ployed on farm in this county, says the Detroit Free Press, for several months entered suit against his employ CT the other day for balance of wages, amounting, as he claimed, to $32. The suit was on trial and it looked at first as if the plaintiff had got @ clear case. He gave dates and figures in 8 straightforward way, and seemed to be a very honest young man. When the farmer took the stand he said:
 ''I claim an offset for that $32. No man need sue me for what l honestly owe."
 "What IS your offset?" asked the law yer.
 "He's an unbeliever."
 "In what ?"
 "Why, in the Bible."
 "What has that to do with your ow- ing him $32."
 "It has heap to do with it. I had six hands in my employ, and we were rush. ing things when I hired this man. He hadn't been with us two days when they stopped the reaper in the middle of the forenoon to dispute about Daniel in the lions den, and in three days we had g regular knock down over the whale swallowing Jonah. The man who run the mower got to arguing about Samson and drove over stump and damaged the machine to the tune of SIS, and the very next day my boy broke his leg while climbing @ fence to hear and sex the row which was started over the Chil dren of Israel going through the Rec Sea. It wasn't week before my wife said she didn't believe Elijah was fed by the ravens, and hang me if I didn't fint myself growing weak on Noah and hi flood. That's my offset, sir; and if h. was worth anything I'd sue him for { | thousand dollars bes ides."
 The court reserved his decision fo twenty-four hours.

A FiSherMan's Luck.

The captain of a fishing schooner, whose adventures are recounted by the Bangor Whig, believes that there is such thing as luck in human affairs. He has fished on the Georges seventeen years, and last spring concluded that he would go home to Gloucester, sell his little home, pay off the mortgage, and with the proceeds go to Boothbay and live quietly. He got as far as Portland, and had new dory stolen from his ves- sel. Arrived at Gloucester he acci- dently lost one of his fingers. He lifted the mortgage by selling his house, and had $233. 50 left. The money he put in an envelope, and the envelope in an inside breast pocket. He set sail for Boothbay with his family in his vessel, and when off Cape Elizabeth, leaned over the side of his vessel to pull in rope. As he bent forward the envelope fell from his pocket, and as $1 50 of the money was silver, it sank before his eyes.
