How 1T WAS DoNE. The Perm
County Democrat says it knows of o
young Democrat in Centre township
in said county who was offered $500
on day OF election to vote for Garfield
Such means were no doubt used in
every election district in this State, as
well as IN other States. It is only those
who refuse to take the money who
afterwards tell. But few poor or reck
less people can refuse money made 20
easily as by the sale of vote, and
those who take II and thus sell their
votes of course have their lips sealed
by the fact of being themselves a party
to the crime. The Republican party
spent millions Of dollars in buying
votes, and by that means principally
they carried the election and elevated
a bride tdker and a peywer to the Prcsi.

TnEFTIN CHuRcH.-A lady who had
heard q vigorous charity sermon, and
yet had given nothing when the con.
tribution box was passed around, had
her pocket picked while she was going
out of church. On making the dis
covery she remarked: "God could not

guos that while this may be regarded
as a special and peculiar visitation,
other people who give nothing need
not think that their escape Is owing to
any merits of their own. A clearer
reference would be that the services of
an efficient policeman are urgently ro.
quired at the church door.

-FOUR RICH MEN.

An exchange gives some rather in
teresting particulars as to the four men
who are supposed to be the most
wealthy living OF these the poorest
is his grace the Duke of Westminster
whose income is set down at $4,000.
600 year Taking it at that sum,
the Duke can spend without trenching
on his capital $4,000 a day, $3.50
per hour, and 81 per minute. The
next man in the ascending scale is
Senator Jones of Nevada, whose in.
come is valued at exactly $4,000, 900,
giving him the right to spend, it he
likes, $40 minute Of the revenue.
The head of the Rothschlds come
next with a yearly income OF 0,000,.
600, and the expenses which be can
doiray tbereouL are, of course, double
as great as those of the Senator. At
the top Of the list comes Mr. J W.
Mackay, with revenue Of Sl3,750,.
600 which enables him TO disburse
$4,000 day, $1,000 an hour, and
S25 minute. The fortunes of the
other three are insignificant II com.
pared with this gentleman's, for they
were the growth Of many years either
of successful toll, of lucky speculation,
or both combined. But Mr.. Mackay,
as the exchange remarks, thirty years
ago was apenniless boy in Ireland, Six
teen years ago he was bankrupt, and
now he is the owner of the richest
silver mine that has ever been known.
There is, therefore, hope for all the
penniIess boys in "Ould Ireland"
We commend to them the example of
Mr.. J. W, Mackay, who, it appears,
is only 45 years old, and if he goes on
Mt tho same rate as during the last
sixteen years will have ample time to
treble his fortune and possess an in.
come ten times as large as that of the
Duke of Westminster. Already the
capitalized value of bis property is set
down at 275 millions sterling, against
the modest eighty millions ofthe Duke.

For HIN STILL.--Gencral Hancock
has passed through the ordeal of q
fierce political contest and comes out
with a record as pure as when he en-.
tered. 1t is not to the credit of the
people of the United States that an up.
right man, who served his country SO
well and valiantly, should be set aside
for one whose record is stamped with
dishonest actions and infdclity to pub.
lie trusts. We would rather be Han
cock than Garfield to-day.

MUST BE HAPPY.--A Telegram to
the Metropolitan journals says "Ex.
Senator Chaffoe, of Colorado, has
Frightened up the honeymoon of bis
son-in.law, Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., with
present of 100000 in Government
bonds" That's good thing-s1s, 900
per annum of an income. It's lovely
just now, but if the chip does not take
better care of his gifts than the parent
block has, he will be bankrupt at the
end OF twenty years.

THE NEXT APP0RTIONMENT

Enough is now known Of the census
OF 1880 to indicate with great precision
what the next apportionment OF Con
grcssmen has in store for the various
sectional divisions OF the country. Tho

animation Of the matter, comes 70 the
conclusion that if the present number
Of Congressman remains unchanged
tho New England States will lose 4
Representatives and the Middle States
6, while the South will gain 3 and the
West Z, The result is seen in tho toll

previous statements in regard TO the pro-
gress Oft Indiana champaign have been
distinguished by sobriety of Judgment
well calculated to carry conviction. 1t
appears that disappointed in forming a
working alliance with the GreeHbackers,
Democrats are doing their best to sustain
that party in the hope that its vote will
come mainly from Republicans. Should
the strength OF the third party reach any
thing like tie figures claimed by its leaders
the Democratic tactics may find their jus

more probable, the Greenbaek strength be
less than one third of what is claimed for
it, a Rpublicau success is hardly doubtful.

Romantic Episode in the NOblc House
of De SIEIOr0.

The holders OF the peerage OF Lord Cliff
ord and of Lord De Clifford are descended
in the male and female line respectively
from the once great and powerful house of
Clifford, who enjoyed the earldom of Cum
bcrland, and who stood next to the Percies
in the north of England. OF late years
the ancient b.rony of De Clifford has
passed, through females, into one or two
different families. Nevertheless, the title
is still extant. All our readers are aware,
no doubt. that The old bridge across the
Thames at Blackfriars was the work of All
engineer named James Mylne. 1t is not
often that the architect of a bridge becomes
also the architect OF peerage; !; and yet
one of the mcrest accidents i'll the world,
in which Mylne figured as the principal
hand, conferred that very ancient title, or
at all events its revival, upon plain SOM
ersetshire gentleman. The story is told at
some length In the General Biographical
Dictiouary'' OF Chambers. Mr.. Mylne
happened to be engaged in making some
very great alterations and improvements
at Kings Weston, near Bristol, for the
late Lord De Clifford. then Mr.. Southwell.
who had known him at Rome. and who
had conceived a very high opinion Of his
talents. "a fter a sight OF his them new bridge
at Blacktriars. On Mr.. Mylne's arrival
there he commenced making some plans,
| in the course of which he discovered in the
back part of the house small room, to
which apparently there were no means OF
access. 1t WAS resolved accordingly to cut
into ir from the outside. On Obtaining an
entrance they found to their astonishment
a great quantity of old family plate and
pile of mnsty papers and parchments.
These were deciphered by the aid OF local
ant,quary, ard the result that among them
were found the original records of bar
ony granted to that family in the reign OF
Henry Ill. The family pedigree was
hunted up aid set forth, the Herald's Col
Iege was consulted, the matter was
brought under the attention of the House
of Lords.a petition to the King to have the
claim submitted to Committee of Privi-
leges was duly presented and favorably
received at last, after shoIt interval.
during which time every link in the chain
of proof was closely examined and estab-
lishei to the satisfaction of the committee
the King revived the dormant title and
Mr.. Southwell took his seat among the
peers of England, as second on the roll o.
barons in 1776. The room in which these
papers were found had in all probability
been closed mp for the sake of security
during the g troublous times'' of the reigr
of Charles I, and had never been opened
subsequently, upward of a century. The
absence OF damp and the exclusion of all
no doubt had contributed to the prescrva
tion of the precious document which con
