Obituary.

DIR. John Cannan, of Camden, died
October Goth, 1850, aged As years. The
deceased was born in England March
26th 1892, and landed in Boston June
10th the same year. As boy he
showed unusual aptitude for mental
pursuits. He was a great reader, and
early took hold of almost every book
that fell In his way. Before six years
of age, he had read Pilgrims Progress
and excited by its dramatic interest he

age, and soon after settled in Camden,
where he has been a practicing physi-
clan eyer since, with the exception of
four years spent i'm the army, first as
assistant and afterward as regimental
and brigadier surgeon, earning his sue
cessive promotions by the skill and eff

iessiOn. After the close of the war he
resumed practice at his OLD home.

WE almost feel like apologizing to
our readers for giving space to re-
view of the charges against Gen. Gar
field, but we could not help it. We
did it to point moral and adorn a
tale, all from the benefit of the Con-
stitution, and our Democratic friends,
who have not considered how much
more agreeable it is to ones feelings to
hear others abused than to receive the
same treatment ourselves. Allan G..
Thurman says: s.Oakes Ames swears
that Garfield got ten shares and Gar
field swears that he did not do anything
of the kind. There was good deal OF
talk, but no proof against him; and !
am compelled to say chat Garfield gets
out better than any one else, and on the
whole, there not sufficient evidence to
fasten corruption. Who lies, Thur
man or the Constitution? VIII the
editor please put that statement in his
pipe and smoke it? 1t may. perhaps
relieve him Of some of his political bile
and make him Il happier. and better
man..

Who voted for Hancock? Spencer is
redeemed. We have Republican gain
of IL over the Ewing election. We
have majority of Is gain of 4 on the
October election. The Denys have
not had rag OF any description on
their hickory sapling on Murray's
corner, n black one would be sppro-
pirate. Where is Salt River! Where
are the Democrats? Your devil don't
want TO fool around very much now
for we "fite nit Kariield." Why not
have the little District of Columbia
moved out to Ohio. We hate to have
our populace spend so much Govern
ment money in travelling. Mr.. Editor
please congratulate Hancock on his
escape. Our boys did not shoot the
anvils but no one knows what may
happen yet. Spencer Democrats con-
sole themselves hoping that New York
will be thrown out.

ties as teacher.

Ar Republican jollification in
Hartford, Conn.,, Mark Twain was
called out and delivered a characteristic
funeral Grafton on the death of the
Democratic Party. The following is
the closing paragraph:
.And who and what is he that is dying,
and will presently be dead? A footsore
political wanderer, honry political tramp,
an -itinerant poor actor, familiar with many
disguises, butcher of many parts. In the
North he plays Protection" and Hard
Money" in the West he played Protection"
"Free Trade" "Hard Money" ard "Soft
Money" changing disguises and parts accoId-
ing to the exigencies and the occasion; in
the South he played Tariff for Revenue
Only;" in the North and the West he played
the Apostle of Freedom" in the South he
played the assassin of Freedom" and
nouthed the sacred shibboleths of Liberty
with cruel and bloody lips His latest and
final appearance upon the nations stage was
in new piece entitled "Forgery-a Farce"
in which he was assisted by the whole
strength OF the company; it was poor
piece; it was indifferenuy played; SO 1t failed,
and he was Kissed and abused by the
audience. But he lies low, now, and blame
aud praise are one TO him-the charitable c
will spare the one, the judicious will re
serve the other. o, friends, this is not a
time for jest and lcvity, but time for bend
ed forms and uncovered heads; for we stand
in the near presence OF majestic death-a
momentous and memorable death-a grisly
and awful death; for it is death from which
there is no resurrection. Heaven bless US,
one and all-Heaven tsinper the blow to the
afflicted family-Hes ven grant them a change
of heart and better life."

THE Southern press for the most. part
takes the election of Garfield philoso-
phically, comforting themselves with
the consideration that they are likely
to get nearly as much from his admins
tration as from Gen Haucock's, but the
Weekly Clarion jackson, Miss.) can
hardly retain itself and lets off little
bad blood 10 the following editorial
paragraph. 1.-THE Democrats may have
lest the Presidency. But all is not lost.
Immoral hate of Rsdicalism, the uncon-
querable will, the courage never to
yield nor to despair in the advocacy OF
the righteous cause of constitutional
liberty still reniain.''

A SUBSCRIBER writes to ask US why
we have not printed the af1idavits of
those parties who heard Capt. Nc
Cures offensive language in the North
part of the county and says: ''Justice
to Mr.. Wadsworth demands it to be
done" We should take pleasure in
publishing them if they were furnished
us. 1t may be understood that we
propose to treat our opponents fairly
however hard it may bear on members
of the Republican party. Not line in
the way of proof on this subject has
ever been offered US on this matter.

BARNUM cannot shake off the respon-
sibility for that forged letter. The
night before it was published he sent
to the principal Democratic Journals of
the country dispatch signed with his
own name, saying: "Thc letter is au-
thentic. 1t is General Gartield's hand
writing. Denial is woise than useless.
1t should have the widest circulation
among all classes, as it unmasks the
Republican hollowness and hypocricy
on the labor question through their
chief.' That dispatch gives official
Democratic approval to the dirtiest
campaign SANDER ever concocted.
Every Democratic editor in the land
submissively obeyed this crack of the
mule drivers whip and did his best to
circulate the lien. Y. Tribune.

THE House and Senate will both have
a Republican majority after March 4th
1881. There will not be any further
undoing of the result of the war by the
Solid South. Our National Banking
system, the best the world ever saw, will
not be disturbed for the next four
years, our finances will not be tinkered,
our tariff will continue TO protect the
laboring and manufacturing interests of
this country. In short "there will be
no change"

Why Should They.

No man or woman can do satisfactory
work when the brain is dull, the nerves
unsteady, the system relaxed and they
feel generally wretched. Why should
lawyers. merchants, ,clergymen, doctors
mechanics or mothers often miserably
drag through their work in this con-
dition, when a small amount of Psrker's

strength and the will to perform their
duties satisfactorily. We have felt its

Tax charges made by the Democrat

TnE charges made by the Democratic
party against Gen. Garfield were on
trial the 2ud of November before a
National jury, and it looks as though
he was acquitted by an overwhelming
majority. Either the greater portion
of the American people are knaves or
else they honestly think he is innocent.
1t might be interesting for our Demo-
cratic friends who believe the first is
true, to tell us how they think the
average Republican voters of this
country compare with the. Democracy
in intelligence and morality.

more political liberty here than at the
South. If the mouth pieces of both
parties can be believed there has been
unequalled liberty to lie, and unlimited
capacity, which has been exercised to
an alarming extent.

THE Memphis Avalanche editorially

The Memphis Avalanche editorially
says:
Hancock's defeat proves that the Demo
Gratis failed to convince the Northern voters
thst restoration of the Democratic party to
power would be a desirable change. The
Democrats made but a feeble attempt to
convince voters that change of Admins
trstion was necessary. Instead Of discus
sion of measures of public policy that would
promote the general welfare, the Democratic
managers assailed the personal character OF
Garfield, and expended all their force from
first to last, trying to convince the Repuhli-
can voters that Garfield was n thief and
perjurer. The low toned character given to
the canvass by the selection of Barnum as
chairman, was a blunder, and the campaign
was succession of astonishing blunders.
it was a carnival of uarrow-miuded polite
ians, where they played fantasti tricks"
The Avelenche is n staunch Demo-
cratic paper. but if it is not careful the
Constitution will charge it with "w hole
sale Misrepresentation and falsehoods. :"
Now let the Constitution 60 for that
Avalanche, for it talks about as meanly
about Democratic campaign methods as
any Northern Republicans have done.

Mrs. Wilkins Of Oxford, n. c., had
three children OF her own and was step
mother to boy. The latter annoyed
her by stealing eatables from the pam
try, and she tried in vain to prevent
his depredations. She locked the dain-
tiest Of the food in chest, and he
opened it with skeleton key. Finally
she poisoned some cake, put it in a
closet, and went away for days visit.
On her return, instead Of finding that
the boy was dead, she saw the remains
of two of her children who had been
killed by the poison.

The Scientific American describes
and illustrates remarkable clock,
which it is claimed surpasses all other
theological achievements, not excepting
the great clock at strasburg. The new
timepiece is the invention of Felix
Meier of Detroit, Michigan. The clock
is eighteen feet in hight, eight feet
wide by five feet deep, and weighs
1000 pounds. The framework is en-.
t:rely of black walnut, elegantly carved.
Above the main body of the clock is a
marble dome upon which Washington
sits in his chair Of state, protected by a
canopy, which is surmounted by a stat
lie of Columbus; on either side OF
Washington is a colored servant in liv
cry guarding the doors, which open be-
tween the pillars that support the can
opy; ON the. four corners OF tde main
body of the clock are black walnut
inches containing human figures, en-
blematic of the march OF life; the two
lower ones are supported by two fam
ing torches; one OF them contains the
figure OF an infant, the second the fig
ure OF youth, the third OF a man in
middle life, the fourth of an aged gray
beard, and still another, directly over
the center, contains a grinnlng skeleton
representing Father Tune. All OF these
figures have bells and hammers IN their
hands. The infants bell is small and
sweet toned; the youths bell larger and
harsher; the bell OF manhood strong and
resonant; that of old age diminishing in
strength, and the bell of the skeleton
deep and mounful. At the end OF
every quarter, hour the infant IN his
carved niche strikes with tiny ham
mer on his bell. At the end of each
half hour the youth strikes, at the end
OF each three-quartels the man, and at
the end OF each hour the gray-beard.
Death then follows with a measured
stroke to toll the hour, and carved Gu
pids projects from either side, with
wings, to indicate that time flies. At
the same time a large music box manu-
factur,d at Geneva expressly for this
clo~k, begins to play, and surprising
sceLe is enacted upon the platform be-
meath the canopy: Washington slowly
rises from the chair 20 his feet, extend
ing his right hand, presenting the Dec
laratlon OF Independence. The door ON
the lett is opened by a servant, admit
ting all the Presidents from Washing
tons time, including K. B. Hayes.
Each President is dressed in the cos
tune of his time. The hkenesses are
good. Passing in file before Washing
ton, they face, and raise their hands as
they approach him, and walking natu-
rally across the platform, disappear
through the opposite deor, which is
promptly closed behind them by the
second servant. Washington retires
into his chair, and ell is quiet save the
ticking Of the huge pendulum and the
ringing OF the quarter hours, until an-
other hour has passed. Meier has
spent ten years Of patient labor, aud
$1,000 in cash, in perfectiny his clock.

The Bush family OF Cleveland tell a
strange story, and some folks believe
them. They say their house is pos
sessed by supernatural flames, which
break out at unexpected times and
places, consuming articles Of clothing,
and even scorching persons. The
bazes are very blue, suggesting hell
lish origin, apd disappear as strangely
as they come. Partly burned garments
are the best evidence the bushes can
produce in support Of their word; but
their motive for deception is not appa-
rent.
