May bless thee rs We bless thee; o young life
Breaking with laughter from the dark, and may

Along the years of haste and random youth

And last in kindly curves with gentlGst fall,

To that last deep where we and thou are still.
Out of the deep my child, out of the deep.
From that great deep before our world begins
Nhereon the spirit of God moves as he will

The unterrified, hopeful Radical

the office of Mr.. Sturgiss, on We'd
nesday night, February 25th., to hear
the report of Mr.. Sturgiss, who made
a pilgrimage to Wheeling in the in

usual elongated Radical faces, we
have come to the conclusion that
his visit to the Nail City was not as
pleasant and profitable as it was
hoped for.
Archie Campbell, of Wheeling,
has no warm feeling for anything
that comes from or lives in Morgan

the delusion, years ago, that he was

WE take pleasure in announcing
that we have made arrangements
with the publisher of the Chicago
Weekly Ners, which enable us to
club that paper with the New Do
MINIoS at the very low price Of $500
per year, trifle over the regular
price of the New DOMINION alone.
This is beyond question the first time
that a metropolitan weekly has been
brought within the reach of subscrib-
ers Mt so small an additional price.
For this comparatively small sum
our readers can place themselves in
command Of the whole situation.
All events Of interest, local, national
and foreign, will be presented com
pletely and promptly by one or the
other of these publications. The
single feature of full and trustwor-
thy Chicago market quotations will
be worth, to many of our readers,
more than the additional amount in
volved in the clubbing arrangement.
To those who arc not familiar with
the character of the Chicago Neps,
we would say that it is the best rep
resentative Of independent journal
ism in the West.
The Weekly Meas is a large eight
column folio, "cram full' of telegraph
and general news, short and pithy
editorials on the topics of the day,
written in a familiar yet incisive
style. and in all it's departments evi-
IDENTIFY aims to give facts in few
words, without the verbiagc and fine
writing which render so many of the
large metropolitan journals ga wear
mess to the flesh" Facts mot words,
appear to be its motto.
We trust that all our readers will
avail themselves of this unusual or
portunity Of securing Chicago
weekly paper at SO trifling cost.
Specimen copies of the Chicago
Weekly Necs may be seen at this
office.

The testimony taken by the Exc
dusp Committee proves that the orr
gin of the North Carolina emigration
of the negroes to Indiana was polit-
ical, and Republican; and also that
there is great suffering among the
blacks who have been enticed away
from their native State. The Rad.
icals only wanted stout negro voters,
but the arrival of women and chill
dren has entailed great expense, and
the charity OF Radical gentlemen is
not proserbial, when no great party
advantage seems likely to accrue
from their benevolent schemes.

THE selection of Sherman dele

the Republican National Convention
has not pleased the GRANTEES, and
has kicked up good deal of con

John Sherman is going to wheel all
the Southern delegations that can
not be controlled for Grant into line
for himself, then James G.'s chances
for the nomination are likely to be
beautifully trifing.
