\ CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati
IdMntSf"sat is apprehensive that the
democratic newspapers have commenced
their assaults on General Garfield too
early, and that the stock of material will
be used up before the campaign fairly
opens. And that paper thinks that ''the
organs do seem to have been Il trifle pre-
mature. The more the charges against
the General are investigated the clearer
his record appears. He will not lose
many votes as consequence of the as
saults upon him, and he has the satsfac-
ton Of seeing his party rallying to man
III his support" Which is a neat way of
putting it.

If there is one object in the world that
genuine Democrats do not like, it is a
Union soldier. What shallow hypocrisy
it is to nominate one, with the hope of
catching the votes of others. The Dem

IT is IL sad reflection on the added con-

party that the only man whom they
could safely nominate for the Presidency
is one who is understood to have no
opinions on anything that is likely to be
discussed during political campaign.

morous address, which was heartily ap-
plauded. He said a friend had handed him
the first Democratic campaign song, emit
tied "The Bleached Shirt" Mr.. Thomas
read the first stanza of the song and then
proceeded to read his own paraphraSe or
parody upon it, The refrain contained re-
peated illusions to the "bleached shirt, 3"
and the etfusion was uproariouSly appladed
and cheered.
Mr.. Thomas, speaking of Hancock, said
the Democrats would not argue from his
war record, but from his political record,
which means his not carrying ont the law
of the United States in Louisiana, and keep
ing upon black and white Republicans there
the heel of Rebel hate. If he he elected

time will come when he will be suitably
remembered" When he uttered the
closing sentence Mr.. Hamilton little real
lied how soon his prophecy was to be
fulfilled. Within the past few days a
committee, with Algernora S. Sullivan as
chairman, has set about raising $50, 900
erect bronze statues Of Washington, Liv-
ingston, Hamilton and Clinton on the
eastern and western buttresses of the
United States Sub-Treasury Buildings,
at Wall and Nassau streets, New York.
The site was formerly occupied by Fed
eral Hall, where the first Presidential
inauguration took place, and Hamilton
must often have gone.
In writing letter for the benefit of
the general public one must sometimes
leap from the sublime to the ridiculous,
so far as the relevancy Of one part to the
other is concerned. One of the greatest
aunoyances that large dry goods and
fancy goods firms, such as Ridley and
Macy, of New York, and Loeser & Co.,
of this city, suffer from, is shop-lifting.
There is not one of these establishments
that does not suffer in this way every
year to the extent of hundreds of dollars,
it being SO easy for the professional thief
generally woman-to mingle with
the throng of customers, especially at the
holiday season, and slip into pockets and
bags all sorts of articles from lace
handkerchiefs to thread and
needles. The police are powerless
to render assistance unless by keeping
officers in civilians attire constantly in
these stores, which woAld be impossible;
hence the demand for officers would soon
exceed the supply, as all shop-keepers
would have to be served alike. But
Loeser & Co., of this city, have solved
the problem, by hiring at 81 900 year
one of the most experienced detectives in
Brooklyn, d. N. Corwin. Corwin hav-
ing been twenty-five years on the Police
Force, was entitled by law to retirement
upon half pay, which would amount to
$3.50 per annum, and, upon receiving an
offer from Loeser & Co., imme-
diately retired from the department. He
easily obtained the shield of special
policeman, and thus equipped, stepped
into the store. His long familiarity with
thieves and thieves ways, enabled him
to at once render signal service, and dur
ing the two months he has been in
Loeser & Co.'s employ he has made the
store terror to wrong doers. I hear
that for the first two weeks he did
a rushing business in detecting
pilfering, until the light-fngered gentry
began to "smell MICE" since which
time he has had less to do. The result
has been great saving to the firm, and
also saving to shoppers, whom pick
pockets sometimes prey upon unmerci-
fully. Corwin's policy is to drive thieves
away, and this he has accomplished
most efectually. CRAs.

African SaiUIatiOnS.
fNatura

During his exploration of Tibesti, DR..
Nachtigal experienced many dangers and
difficulties, losing his way, aud suffering
from want of water and forced night
marches. A very interesting account is
given of the ceremonials observed BY
the Tubu people in greeting one another.
A most elaborate performance is gone
through when two strangers meet in this
wild country.
Each of the performers covers all his
face but his eyes with his turban, seizes
his spear and tbrowing-iron, "a curious
boomerang-like weapon with long pro-
jecting prong on the concave margin, J
and thus prepared, the two approach
one another. At a distance of about six
steps from one another they squat on
their heels with spear upright in one
hand and iron in the other. The one
then asks GLOW do you do?' about a
dozen times by means of four different
words having that meaning used alter.
natelv, the reply being varied of the use
of two words Laha, or Killala.
Then one of the two loudly sings the
word "ihilla," which is returned by the
other in a similar tone. The word is ex
changed again and again, being com
menced in a loud, high-pitched note, anG
gradually run down the scale until il
reaches low bass murmur. When il
has become SO low as scarcely to be
heard, on sudden it is shouted again in
high key and the gamut is run through
as before. This goes on for a very long
while, the performers going through itas
a strict matter of ceremony, and taking
no interest in one another all the while
but looking round at the horizon or else
where during their vocal exertions.
After a while various forms Of the
question "How are your and the answer
"Well," are introduced; at last questions
or other topics are brought forward, al
though now and again the "ihilla" burst,
out in the midst Of them, but the serie.
Of notes in which it is shouted become,
shorter and shorter. At last the ihilh
is got rid of altogether, and ordinary
conversation becomes possible. Stran
