Electric Discharges from Animals.

TOUCHING the electric brush dis
charges which sometimes take place
from the hair and fingers Of men, and
the coats of animals, as well as the
leaves of trees, recent note by M. Amat
to the French Academy mentioned some
curious facts which came under his OBJ
servation out in Algeria. in 1876, be-
tween Djelfa and Laghouat, among the
Atlas Mountains. He says that he has
frequently drawn large sparks from the
hair of his horse by means of his pocket
comb. The best results were obtained
in dry weather, in the evening between
Z and 9p.m. IT the hair was little
moist, or the sky cloudy, no sparks or
cracklings could be got. Animals, and
especially horses, present in higher
degree than man the power of exhibit
ing these discharges. Travellers on the
high plateau of Central America have
remarked that the coats of their horses
discharge sparks under the brush or
currycomb; and in South Algeria it is
common to see the hairs of the tail SO
much alive with the electric forces that
they diverge from the center. On strok-
ing the tail by hand, distinct cracking
sounds may be heard, especially during
the day. One reason why man accumu-
lates less electricity than the horse is
perhaps that the horse is better insulat-
ed on his horny hoofs.

General Hancock.

General Hancock is General Hancock
still, but he is none the worse for that.
The campaign in which he has been de-
feated has not hurt him. On the con-
trary, the country knows him much
better than it ever knew him before,
and its enlarged information concern
ing him is all to his advantage. The or
deal through which he has passed has
been no ordinary one. He has had to
meet in one way or another misconcep-
ton and misrepresentation but all that
he has done SO admirably that it
might be difficult to say in which
party he had the most admirers. He
has proved himself invulnerable to the
shafts of party SANDER and malignity.
The kcenest points have been turned
against the impenetrable armor of char
acter by which he has been protected,
and this element of strength was long
ago confessed by his party opponents,
VINO desired campaign free from per-
sonalities, because they could not match
our Achilles, who, if vulnerable in his
heel, has given his enemies no chance
to know it, as he never turns his
heels toward them. The campaign
has resulted in the temporary defeat
of the Democratic party, but General
Hancock is not to blame for it. Per-
sonally, he is as grand in defeat as he
ever was in victory. He has clea-
conscience, and in all the opportunity
that hot canvass opens for mistakes
in n Presidential contest he has done
nothing to lower his self-respect
or lower the standard of manliness
which the world has associated with
him. He has no reason to be sorry that
he accepted the leadership to which he
was assigned by the action of the Dem
ocratic party. 1t was a patriotic
act on their part, and on his. He is n
man eminently worthy the confidence
of any party, and, as we have already
stated, the broader acquaintance with
his character and abilities that has re-
suited from his candidacy is of value to
the country. His motives have stood
the test of analysis. His patriotism
at every point has been found
without speck or flaw. His knowl-
edge of the principles upon which
our system Of government rests.
and his appreciation of the considera
tons that should rule in every depart
ment of that Government, are remarka-
BILE in military man, and would have
been of great value to the country. But
the decision of the people has been
averse to that and General Hancock
can stand it quite as well as they can.
He has accepted the result like sol.
der, philosopher and gentleman.
He has grown in the love and respect OF
the people from the time he was nomi
mated until the present, and his namt
will always be among those to b,
wreathed with the tokens of honor ant
popular regard. There are only kin
words and kind thoughts for him, how
ever much others may be criticised

THANKSGIVING DAY IN THE
-fitiHlEOLDEN TIME.


LIFE more happy seemed to fill
Ihe homestead meath the sheltering hill.
a gentle stir, like5winds at play,
That Kept in mind Thanksgiving Day.
Upon the roof tree. sloping down,
~ i;tse bad come glistening crown
The woodbine's red and withered leaves.
As thus the homestead peaceful stood
Amidst the winter tqiietude,
With Busy hand ana anxious heart.
For three whole days conflict dire
Still dtt tfe crane s' not cease ea to- to groan.
And still the oven holds its own.
Now. epnseissus of her skin and might,
The hopse game, with her skirts drawn tight
And cap askew, with flying strings,
The closet fills with dainty things.
The children peep with eyes aglow
To see her place the pies in row,
And 81 eai TO get with smack and sniff
OF steaiaing eonserves Just Whit.
The day has come! The blushing morn
Now hears the numbering stage coach horn
That, 'midthe echoings of the hills,
The Homestead with u tremor fills.
First at the door, the grandsire gray
Pats forth his staff his steps to stay;
The toddlef, irrattling at his knee,
IhrustS forth his head the coach to see.
Into the doorway, too, has come;
His Wife and baby now appear
Harki It's the sound of wheels they hear.
The stage at last. with stately sweep,
Comes round the curve, and from it leap
The school boy SONS who left the farm,
And meet the group with greetings warm.
Quick boupcing at the prick of goad,
pillfOned nag trots up the road,
And pausing by the humble stoop,
Adds Two new corners to the group.
The meeting house looms white and bare
HighIonltlIe hill above them there,
And in its steeple thumps and swaps
The bell that calls to prayer and praise.
And soon the meh folks. smiling faced,
Responsive to its summons haste;
Whist busy Marsh;,s full of CARE
'Gainst their return the feast prepare.
The Feast at last. The grace is said,
And mp bObS every eager head,
And bright eyes, like some greedy power,
Go seeking what they may devour.
The turkey at the feast is lost;
The chickens get their drum sticks crossed;
And empty plates, Just filled with pies,
The good wife marks with smiling eyes.
Each finds his limit reached ut last;
The apples come the nuts are passed:
The Ifltigs'of cider brimming stand,
And jokes fly round on every hand.
SO goesthe day till evening comes;
And on the hob the Kettle huns;
The roasting apple puffs its check,
And cnildren play at hide land seek.
Perhaps this day in years TO come
May lind them wanderers far from home,
And witlljOy haunting memories cheer
The shadows OF that changeful year.

The Executive Committee Of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee has issued
the following address:
In response to inquiries, the National Demo-
cratic Committee makes the following state
ment in reference to the so-called Morey
letter: .
I. Neither the Committee nor any sub-com-
mittee thereof has ever taken any action In
reference to the letter.
2. II was first called to the attention Of tho
Chairman of the Committee on the night ba-
fore its publication In Truth on the soth OF oc-
tober. -."'
3. The Chairman thercupon requested MT.
Smalley. member OF the Committee. TO ex-
anime the letter, but permission to do so was
refused ut the once OF Truth. l
4. No member OF the Committee over saw
the letter or any copy or portion thereof until
after its publication, or was I'm any wise con-
cerned therein, OF gave any advice IN refer
ence thereto.
s. Hart, publisher Of Truth. brought the
original letter to headquarters, No. 1aS Firth
avenue, on the afternoon OF the e0th OF Octo-
Der, where IL was seen for tho first time by
any member OF the Committee. and then cx-
amined by several mem bcrs of tho Committee
and other persons not members. All those
who were familiar with the handwriting OF
General Garfield came to the conclusion that
9. The Committee decided 20 purchase q
reasonable number of -aiecfrokypo plates OF
the fac simiie. which had already been pre-
pared by Truth. w vt"
=. No denial having como from General
GarAeld OF the aalthsnticisy Of the letter. not
withstanding the telegraphio demand Of the
New York Herald, and q very sharp leader In
that paper. the Committee decided to rive
out the electrotype plates. which was accord
ingiy done. The prOpriety OF this action VISA
not doubted by the Committed, rs the letter
seemed TO be In harmony with General Gar
letter gathered from the public records, OF
undoubted genufnenees.
8. The first complete denial was not publish
ed until four days after the original publicn-
ton in Truth, and TO this denial. unsupported
by any other evidence the Committee. In view
OF General Garfeld's connection with other
scandals. attached no weight.
q. Therefore, when evids nee was offered TO
show that Morey was a real person. and not
myth, the Committee called Tor fits production,
as they were bound to do, in order 20 arrive at
TO- II the letter has been forged. or any
fraud committed In reference thereto, or any
false evidences been given, 1t has been done
without the knowledge, consent or privtty OF
the Committee, or any member thereof.
Finally. the Committee approves OF all hcu-
est measures to punish any and all persons
who have mktcd any viola Ton OF law, and
have no interest in this matter but to arrive nt
the very truth OF the affair: That there should
be doubt as TO the authenticity Of the letter
is largely due to the failure OF the prosecu-
ton TO put General Garfield ON the stand.

BY order OF the Committee.

Popular Amusements.

It is of the utmost Importance that
the anu sements of a people should be
of high moral tone and character !;
the experiment OF denying the public
all amusements has been repeatedly
tried, and has always resulted in q
terrible reaction. A society debarred
from lawful pleasures will seek relax
alton in unlawful ones. The Puri-
tans of England determined to put
down all amusements, IS wicked, and
Immoral; 80 cut down even the May
pole upon the greens, denounced dane
ing Us inimical to the principles Of re-
ligiOn, and, shutting up the theatres,
put the players in stocks; in short,
they established hypocrisy anu called
it decorum. But the moment this iron
rule was removed tide of corruption
and licentiOus pleasure swept over the
land, and the reign Of Charles IL. is
infamous in English annals as that Of
universal licentiousness.
The same thing might have been
marked in New England had the pop
ulation been more mixed, or her pub
lie duties and private tolls been less
interesting and exacting. AS the Pur-
itan sway was relaxed here, the effect
we have noticed was not SO glarinx,
and yet many social excesses may be
traced, we think, to the too rigid
SWAY of the Puritans. Habituai dram.
drinking was one Of the fruits Of that
iron regime, because that was vice
which could be indulged III secret,
and to o certain extent i'll defiance OF
the censors. The Frisnds of Penn's
colony were certainly Of the most
strait-laced set, and yet Philadelphia
is now as fond of pleasure as Paris
itself, and, we may add, at times is
quite as turbulent; W lille tho city OF
New York shows no traces, as to NOR
ais, of its staid and frugal progenitors.
True philanthrOpists and sound 1es
islators will not seek to tissaiinlel the
tendency Of the human mind to seek
pleasant excitement, but they will
rather endeavor to promote ana regu-
late amusements. Museums, theatres,
and public garaens, these are all leyit-
innate sources Of entertainment. In
ancient Athens, which possessed
theatre capable of accommodating
thirty thousand spec tators, the INTEL
lectual character OF the people, who
were admitted free to these entcrtaii,-
ments, was of the highest order. In
lkOLlts Ol tllC OGhCA uohOS tiC lulClS
and candidates for popular favor, in-
stead of seeking todivert the minus OF
the people, by ennobling, OF ut least
in supplying Innocent recreatiolis,
pandered to their cruel tastes by the
fiendish and deinoralizing combats OF
the arena. In the ampitheatres, arm
les of gladiators fought against each
other, or contended for precedence
with the fiercest of wild animals. 81
InSpain the national amusement of
the bull-tight has succeeded the old
Roman giadiatorial-shows; and the
character of the people evinces tho ma
ture of their sports. The old chival-s
ry of Spain is ex tinct, and the ferocity
OF the population is displayed in their
readiness to commit assassination, and
their almost incredible ferOcity in
war. They behave like savages and
brigands. ,Cnlt.ratof. Al 4,

When Remenyi was in the north
west not long since, lie and his pian-
ist, Mr.. Beale, were out walking in
Marquette, and in passing humble
looking house on one OF the back
streets heard the sounds of u violin is
suing therefrom. Entering the domi-
cilc in question Rcmenyi found the
instrument, the notes OF which at
tracted his attention, i'll the hands of
an elderly man who was ''sawing out"
some quaint old fashioned air. Rem
enyi requested the privilege of look
ing Mt the fiddle, which was granted.
Alter examining its several parts thor
oughly he drew the bow across the
strings a few times, and handing it
back asked the man where he got it.
The owner-a French Canadian-said
the violin had been i'll his possession
over thirty years; that he purchased
it from u pawnbroker in Quebec,
Lower Canada. Remenyi informed
the man he would buy his violin If he
would sell it. The Frenchman said
he would part with the instrument
for $l5. Remenyi said he would take
it. and handed the man a $50 green
back and told him TO keep the whole
amount. Remenyi says that if his
journey up North yielded him nothing
more than the possession of the old
Frenchman's fiddle, it would amply
pay him for his trip, for he has sccur-
cd violin that he would be 10th to
mart With at any pSice. -
