the richest in the world. is Mrs.
E. H. Green, the wife OF the
Vice. President of the Louisville
and Nashville road. She was a
Miss Robinson, and her father
was q whaling master at New
Bedford. He owned q fleet OF
ships known as the Blue Line of
whalers, and from his profession
was known as "Blubber Robin
son." He died when his daugh-
ter was q mere girl, and left her
8 fortune Of about eight millions
She lived slenderly and prudent
ly and gave the management OF
her affairs to Mr.. J. J. Cisco. As
her tastes were simple and her
want. few, she was able to trans
fer her enormous income almost
every year to the body OF the
fortune itself, and it has now &C.
cumulated to more than $27,-
100000. Her husband, Mr.
Green, was . very rich mau
when she marriei him, and has

LAMAR ON THE SOLID SOUTH.

Among the numerous ratifca-
ton speeches delivered in Gin
cinnati none took better than
that delivered by Col. Lamar.
Below it will be found in full:
FELLow-c1TIzENs: I wish that
for one time in my life I could be
eloquent to realize in words the
fine idea of what ought to be
said upon an occasion so inter-
estiug and animating as this.
I think you have done a great
and a glorious work. You have
presented to the country a
nomination which in all OF
its aspects is noble, imposing
and dramatic. Gen. Hancock
will make you a grand and great
President, and will inaugurate
a new era in this country. Tap
plause.]
I will give you one single illus.
tration. A short time ago l was
present at a ratification meeting
of the nomination Of Garfield
and Arthur. I listened to the
speeches made upon that occa-
sion. I heard no lofty and noble
sentiment which would meet with
response from all sections OF
the country. Every speaker pre-
sented to the confidence of the
people whom be was addressing
the distrust and hatred of one
portion of his countrymen. The
great question to the Democratic
party which was urged was the
the fact that it stood before the
country backed by the solid
South That's true. [Cheers.-
The objection was that no party
ought to be put in power which
had a united and unanimous sec
ton in Its favor, and only half o
Its votes in the other section

AN EXPERT OPINION.
Ex.Secretary Belknap Says Garfield is
the Most Corrupt Man in America.

Gen. VIM. W. Belknap, who
was Secretary of War in Grants
Cabinet, approached group OF
Federal OFFICIALS and others,
who were engaged in discussing
the nomination In one of the
rooms of the United States post
Office and court house, and said
in bantering tone; "Well, boys,
what's the matter? You seem
very joyful" 'No," replied one
of the number, 1--WE are waiting
to learn something about Gar
field. Do you know him, Gen
eral p
eyes. He is,the!most corrupt
man in America. He would
steal heavens livery to serve the
devil" The hearers did not
know whether to smile or to
look sober
Gen. Belknap mentioned pub.
licly that one of the Iowa deiega.
ton, who supported Blaine, had
telegraphed him as follows
"Conkling has made the greatest
effort of his life, and we have
nominated Garfield 2"
Gen. Belknap replied: Eyes

mistake of your life. New York

One or two thoughts occurred to
me on that point. First, if it is
unfortunate that party should
get into power with one section
united, and only a small portion
of another section, it would be
still worse for the other party to
get into power with nothing at
all but one section at its back.
[Laughter and cheers.] There
was another consideration, and
that is, if it is an objection to the
Democratic party that it has all
the Southern votes and but a few
Northern votes, the work of the
convention to-day will remedy it,
for, in my opinion, it will preseut
a united Southern people and q
majority OF the Northern people.
[Applause.] Now there is a So
luton of this great difficulty. If
it be an eyil for the Democratic
party to have such few electoral
votes in the North, wheel your
States into the Democratic COL
umn north of the Potomac. l
know you'll do it.
Fellow citizens, we are solid in
the South. We stand by the
Democracy of this Nation. I
will tell you why. Weare united
in order to save our own civiliza-
tion, our liberty, our intelligence,
from the rule OF incompetency,
of servility of ignorance, and thus
standing united We must throw
our support to one or the other
of the National parties of this
country. Where shall we throw
it? Shall we throw it to the Re-
publican party-["No, Nc" y

broken record of hostility to the
most precious institutions OF the
South? Why, suppose we were
to do it. What does MIR. Gar
field, who is the present nominee
of that party, say-''I will not
accept the hand Of THE South
until she comes forward and &C.
knowledges her error and re-
pents." Now, gentlemen, oil we
have to say is this, that before
he rejects the hand of the South,
let him take heed that it be first
offered him. [Applause.]
The South has undergone hu-
initiation. She has been blighted
to-day, beautiful however, in her
ruins, and majestic in her sorrow.
, Standing, ss she does, exhausted.
, her very garments dripping with
the blood of her children-she
will not dishonor herself and her
people by offering her hand un-
, der any circumstances. She pre-
fers to offer her hand to the
great General and brave soldier,
who has the courage to fight and

The FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE OF THE
NuRsERY-The following Is an extract
from a letter written to the German Reform
Messenger, at Chambersburgh, Penn:
A BENEFACTREss.
Just open the door for her, and Mrs.
Winslow will prove the American Florence
Nightingale of the Nursery. Of this we
are so sure, that we will teach our "Susy'
to say, "a blessing on Mrs. Winslow" for
helping her to survive and escape the grip
ing, colicking, and teething seige, Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup relieves the
child from pain, and cures dysentery and
diarrh9a. 1t softens the gums, reduces
Inflammation, cures wind collie, and carries
the infant safely through the teething
period. 1t performs precisely what it
processes to perform, every part of it--noth-
ing less. We have never seen Mrs.
Winslow-know her only through the
preparation of her Soothing Syrup for
Children Teething." If we had the power
we would make her, as she is, a physical
savior to the infant race, Sold by all
druggists. 25 cents bottle.

AN ELEGANT TOILET PREPARATION, hair
dressing and restorative is found in Lon
don Hair Color Restorer." 1t seldom fails
to restore gray or faded hair to its original
youthful color and beauty. Falling hair is
checked by its use, and it produces a
growth of beautiful young hair, soft, glossy
and luxuriant. 1t certainly is the most
clearly and effective hair restorer now be-
fore the American people.

A RISKY MATCH
London Telegraph

At Voronesh, one Of the great Russian
provincial criminal dopots, whence convicts
are periodically conveyed in patches to the
different penal settlements Of the empire,
the unmarried state prisoners Of both sexes
have recently developed surprising pre-.
objection for the matrimonial state.
This phenomenon is attributable TO the
fact that the Russian Government permits
married convicts under sentences Of hard
labor to settle in Saghalien, locality in
respects preferable to Siberia, As, howev-
er, those deslrous of qualifying themselves
tor the enjoyment OF this privilege are only

IN THE GREAT FRAUD.-MORAL oBLIQUITY
OF MEN IN HIGH OFFICIAL POSITION WHO
ATTEMPTED TO AssAssINATE THE RE-
PUBLIC?
From our regular correspondent.
Said a gentleman to me yesterday, whose
name is distinguished in the annals Of his
countrys recent Legislative history: ut is
absurd for so-called Independents to insist
that the coming election will be merely a
contest between candidates and parties,
and that there are no great issue before the
people," Issues were never more moment
GUS or more sharply defined First and
foremost among them is the evertowering
issue raised by the electoral commission.
in it is involved nothing less than the right
Of the people to chose through constitu-
tional methods their highest executive Of
fcer. 1t really envolves their right to vote,
for the ballot will become an empty mock
cry if the great crime by which Mr.. Hayes
was installed shall 60 unrebuked, and free
dom will have greater cause to shrek than
at the death of ten thousand Kosciuskos,
if one OF the visiting statesman and one Of
the electoral eight shall be elected to the
high place now desecrated by an executive
placed there by fraud.
Political philosophers are right in speak
ing of republican governments as an exper-
iment. True, it had subsisted in the Unit
ed States until the election of Mr.. Tildep.
1t has appeared fitfully and internationally
in France. Favored by peculiar geograph-
ical environment it has held its own in the
Businesses of the Swiss alps. There are
certain indications in modern times that
point to repubicanism as the government
of the remote future, but viewed in the
trend of the worlds history, republican
government must be looked upon as a very
novel experiment Certain it is that it has
been most fatally stunned for four years in
the United States, and that the Republican
party are SO callously insensible to the
crime and the calamity, that they are try
ing to award one Of the chief assassins
with the presidency. 1t is this callousness,
this moral obliQuity Of men in high judi
cial and legislative places, where they
ought to be chastened and purified with en-
thusiasm for the sublime but critical eX-
plotting of popular government, that makes
patriots seriously solicitous for the fate Of
republican institutions in the United
States.

MIR. SECRETARY ScHuRz, in his Indianapo
lis speech speaking Of Gen. Hancock, said
You may spoil an excellent general in
making poor president" The people are
determined to take the chance anyway
They know that Hancock is good general,
and they believe that he will make a good
president. Mr.. Scburz's theory is that o
good soldier can hardly make good civil
officer. The theory is not sound. The
theory, however. that a poor soldier is
pretty certain to make an incompetent
civil officer is correct. Mr.. Schurz may
be cited as an example of the correctness
of this theory.

THE doctors are very anxious to get an
insight into DR.. Tanners stomach in its
present "cornered" condition. They have
made proposition to him to let them put
him under the influence of either, and per.
form an operation, in order to determine
whether or not bis stomach has dried up
as it were. The doctor declined to have
his "inards" inspected. The doctor has
frequently claimed that he has cast-iron
stomach. He says that he was born and
raised near cambridge Wells, England,
and that he drank the chalybeate waters to
such excess that his stomach became per-
manently coated with iron. Perhaps the
reason he refuses to be opened is, that he
fears his reputation for truth and veracity
will be ruined. He may rely on it, how
ever, that the doctors will get him when he
is dead.
