Political Notes.

There is hardly one republican pa
per which has not fallen back on "the
old sectional issues" regardless Of
Gar6eld's warning in 1873.
Garfield seems to have had some
very crude ideas as to petroleum; he
should have secured enough 10 have
grease his way out of Credit MObilier.
The venerable Simon Cameron is
reported to have given this opinion in
regard to the present contest for the
presidency Damn tight, close race,
and the devil only knows who'll
win."
Courier Journal: The wicked reb-
els in Missouri nominated Urittenden,
a union general for governor although
Marmaduke, a Confederate general,
was a candidate. Another plot to
destroy the United States COVER
ment.
The greenback partyin Connecticut
is tumbling to pieces. 1t is believed
their vote will be reduced to a few
hundred from 1914 in 1873. General
Weaver is going to stump the state to
see if he can recall the ~disaffected.
The state organ of the party has de-
clared for Hancock.
The Boston Post says: ''The repub-
licans do not know what they are
talking about when they say THAT
General Hancock is not a statesman.
How do they know he isn't? Etates-
men are not manufactured, they are
born, and General Hancock has given
the strongest presumptivo evidence
that he possesses the qualities that
distinguish them. On the contrary,
Garield's seventeen years of service
have proved that he is only a politi-
cian."
The Pittsburgh Post, an indepen-
dent republican paper if there is such
a thing. says. The spectacle Of an
ex-president of the United States SUI

A visitor from the country not ia

cannot fail but notice how the ladies
are returning to the fashion which
prevailed at the end of the last
and beginning of the present cen
fury, aud hat quaintness is
one of the charms at which
we specially aim. For seaside

cotton sun bonnets are worn, and a
recent English paper reports that tie
children in the parks ~patronize them
extensively. Indsed, at a late bazar
at Kensington house a large quantity
were sold and a good sum realized.
Some have the front lined with
card board, a long curtain
and full crown hat. The majority
are drawn on some four or five -unners.

fresh faces. Occasionally the same
manner of making is adapted to hats
which bend down to the ears by means
Of an outside string; but there is
scarcely a shape from the largest cot
tage to a capote, which has not beer
simulated in drawn cottons, and for
young girls especially, hats or bonnets
made Of a piece of the dress accom-
pany all cotton gowns. Hats are worn
by young ladies', but are of the most
fanciful and picturesque forms, but
generally large aud always with much
trimming under the brim. Sc ne are

large bunch of flowers; some stacd up

much lace and muslin blended with
the flowers; but quite the newest idea
is a fully gathered founce of lace

sHERIFFALTY OF MEMPHIS
Sensible View by an Outsider

Somerville F.lcon. 9Th.
The possible election of Shaw is a
question of no ordinary moment to the
people OF Memphis, and on this ac-
count it is much to be regretted that
the good people of SHELBY county can
not center upon either Mr.. Athy or
Mr.. Powell, and thus make sure the
defeat of Shaw. Just now the oblite-
ration Of all party lines as be ween
democrat and greenback and the cast
ling of their combined vote for one or
the other of their candidates would
roll up a most handsome majority
against Shaw and insure Memphis
against the humiliation of having a
sheriff who is SO ill. fitted to hold so
important an Office. 1t is not owing
to the fact that Shaw is a negro that
there is such opposition to his cleo.
ton but to the fact that be is regard
ed as a csrr4pt and interruptions poll

Quoted themselves very cred;tably

A New Religion in West Ten

MELVILLE Banner.l

Ns.hv'ue Banner.l
From a commercial traveller, who
has recently been canvassing jackson
and Macon counties, Tennessee. we
learn of the origin OF a new religion.
1t seems that a certain sage, whose
success has been heretofore confined
to the pillow, has of late felt the pro-
phetic fire in his veins, and Is now
giving the world the benefit of his
prophesy. He has read or heard some
where Of "sackcloth and ashes" aud
has introduced this idea with marked
effect into his revelations. He insists
on going about the country wearing
as his prophet smantle an oldtow sack
liberaly covered with ashes. He has
hit upon another happy idea-only
second to that of the sack and ashes ;
when hepreaches he takes the sandals
from his feet, saying, 'this is holy
ground" and is initiated by the faith
fGl. We learn he has secureda follow
ing OF two or three hundred persons,
and this is in the heart of Tennessee.

STRANGE IMPULSES.
How Some Persons Act in a
Great Crisis When Lite
is at Stake.
Hartford Cournnt.l

Hartford Courant.l
The conduct of people in a great
crisis is a wonderful puzzle. Take the
Seawanhaka disaster, and we read Of a
man who stood on the deck and
burned to death in spite of all urgings
to jump into the water. He was So
perplexed hat he utterly forgot self.
On the other hand some of the res
cued people in the small boats were
clamorous 20 get ashore, and did all
they could to prevent rescues until
they themselves were on land. Such
utter sel6shness is hard to- believe.
Among the rescued, one old woman
whose handbag, containing 1872, had
been saved for her, was so indignant
at the loss of six window f~asSenings
that she compelled the people of the
hospital who had taken care of her to
send for sick new fasteners. She also
wanted a diver who was going down
to look for her s~pectacles. A very IN
dignant man called at Randall
Island for his bag, and learning that
it was lost, threatened a lawsuit at
once. This led to a new search, and
it was finally found. 1t contained a
pair of stockings, a chemise and a
comb and brush. A singular flCt
connected with steamboat disasters is
that the dead always have their peck
els turned inside'out. They are reg
ularly found so. This truth seems to
be hat some utterly lose their head,
aud on the other hand the trying hour
develops a cunning deviltry in others
hat is something for human nature to
blush at. Robbery is a rare element
in every great accident that renders it
possible.

THE GENERALS DAUGHTER.
A War ReminisceIee from IIIe
Pen OF a Former officer Of
the Second Army
Corps.

In the Pueblo (Cal.) Democrat we
find an interesting Renaissance Of the
rebellion from the pen Of Il. j. Max
well. The writer is a brother of John
s. Maxwell, Of Stittville, and during
the war was an officer ia the Second
army corps under General Hancock,
and will stump the state Of Colorado
for his gallant commander. Mr.. Mex.
well writes
The nomination ofthat magnificent
specimen of a man and soldieS, Gen
Winfield s. Hancock, recalls to my
mind an incident connected with his
celebrated campaign in the Wilder
ness, which made a strong impression
unen ne az the time, and which /
doubt not is indelibly stamped upon
the memories of those who were spec
tators Of the remarkable scene.
1t was after that week of terrible
and bloody struggle, when like two
immense pythons, the Federal and
Confederate armies we're interlocked
in a death-grip, each painting for the
mastery over the other. The Army
of the Potomac had commenced that
grand flank movement by which the
forces Of General Lee were gradually
wasted and attenuated, preparatory to
the final struggle at the gate of the
capital city. Thele had been fighting
and skirmishing all the way, notably
at the crossing of the North Ann aud
Coal Harbor, There the two armies
once more broke away from each 9th
er and renewed the race for the Con
tederate stronghold at Richmond.
On the evening of the 10Th of June
the second army corps, with the i'm
posing figure of Hancock at its head,
undistinguishable, indeed, from
the humblest soldier, except by
his grand and heroic stature
and bearing, crossed the
James river, near Petersburg. For
two days and nights the weary vet
