ALBERT G.. PORTER, who, by the grnce of
the people of Indiana, is 10 be the next
governor of that stale, is gentleman well
and favorably known in this city as late
first comptroller of the treasury. He will
make one of the hest executives Indiana
has ever had, and, if the republicans have
won the legislature, may go to the senate.
This we hope he will not do; he is needed
in the gubernatorial chair for the next four
years to make certain the magnificent
results of his great canvass. He is about
ffty-two years of age, an able lawyer, an
amiable dignifed, scholarly gentleman of
spotless private character. 1t has been
due 10 the great abilities, the incorruptible
integrity and lofty patriotism in the past of
Mr.. PORTER which have IN an eminent
degree aided the republican party TO win
this victory. He is the natural, worthy
successor of Mr. MORTON; as such we well
come him to the front rank of republican
leaders, and we heartily congratulate the
people of the state in having chosen all eX-
cellent representative hoosier TO administer
the executive department of their govern
ment

THE UNANIMOUS DEMOCRACY.


Let General HANCOCK come out and spike
tho guns of the liars who claim that his cleo
ton means a tariff reduction and the closing
of workshops and manufactures. Let the
line be at once reformed, as HANCOCK re-
formed II at Gettysburg, aud we shall win as
glorious a victory rs we won there. Other
wise, the party that buys itself into the presi
dency this year can steal enough to repur.
chase 1t in 1854. These are my ideas.
Editor STIIsoN HUTCuINs says
In saying that they dare not undertake q
national canvass on the issue of protection to
monopolies, us opposed TO the democratic de.
maud of tariff for revenue, we speak ad'
visedy. But reluctant us they are 10 adopt
such programme, they must and will be
forced to do it. They nave gone too far for
safe retreat. They stand committed to the
issue. They must face IL now till the day OF
election, not in localities Of their own choos-
ing, but all over the union. Iu every city,
town and township where the republican
party has an organized existence this issue
must 60 to the front ut once und be held there.

the voting population, but in the rural states,

THE competition of the new barge lines between

Thus the entering of Il new agent into the business

Advice to BOokish People.

We may end with a few words Of
practical advice to persons about to
have books bound. First, they must
increasingly protest against the use Of
the mangling @plow-knife," with which
the careless binder cuts the margin Of
books to the quick. It is better, on the
whole, to have books bound with rough
edges (though these attract dust) than
to have the margins mangled with an
atrocious cruelty that positively robs q
book of all its pecuniary value. Again,
do not send q new book to the binder.
The sheets are still damp, and print of
on their opposite neigh5ors. Avoid
vellum; it dirties easily it has no beau
ty, except in SO far as to remind one Of
Dutch cheese, which some seem to think
q recommendation, and very little va
riety can be produced on the surface.
It is also difficult tc make title-pieces in
leather adhere to the greasy surface.
Again, let the decorations be appropri-
ate. Do not have black letter romance
Of chivalry fooled with the fowery or
nament Of the eighteenth century, nor
dress Rabelais in coat after the fashion
OF Gerome. Lastly, don't hurry the
binder. Hasty work is incompatible
with good binding, and good bindings
are the best ornaments OF library

Ruined BY q Snider.

Spiders crawling more abrndantly
and conspicuously than usual upon the
indoor walls of our houses foreten the
near approach of rain; but the follow
ing anecdote intimates that some of
their habits are the cqually-certain in
dication of frost being at hand. Quar-
termaster Disjonval, seeking to beguile
the tedium of his prison hours at
Utrecht, had studied attentively the
habits of the spider; and eight years of
imprisonment had given him leisure to
be well versed in it's ways. In Decem-
Der, of 1794, the French army, on
whose success his restoration to liberty
depended, was in Holland, and victory
seemed certain If the frost, then of I'M
precedented severity, continued. The
Dutch Envoy had failed to negotiate a
peace, and Holland was despairing,
when the frost suddenly broke. The
Dutch were now exulting, and the
French Generals prepared to retreat;
but the spider warned Disjonval that
the thaw would be of short duration,
and he knew that his weather monitor
never deceived. He contrived to COM
municate with the army of his country
men and its Generals, who duly esti-
mated his character, and relied upon
his assurance that within few days the
water would again be passable by
troops. They delayed their retreat.
Within twelve days frost had returned
the French army triumphed. Dis
jonval was liberated; and spider had
brought down ruin on the Dutch ma
ton.

Dining SumptuOusly Without Toll.

How the lilies of the valley, who

Whenever new restaurant of any re-
pute is opened, dine there twice and
pay for my dinners. The third time I
send for the proprietor, and, telling him
that have forgotten my purse, ask him
to send waiter home with me, when T
will pay my bill. To this he objects.

the next day send him the price of

times without paying, and pay for the
three dinners together. By this time

and 1 can dine luxuriously for long

OF feeding me I promise to pay him

tions with one OF his confreres. Jeal-
ousy, and pleasure in seeing those in
the same business done, prevents any

The Young Lawyers First Speech.

The way in which young lawyer
handles his first important case gener-
ally shows Of what stuff he is made. Il
he has the mental strength and elastic
tact that case may prove the spring
board whence to leap to rank and re-
ward.
An illustration Of what young law
yer may effect by first case is given
in the life of the Southern statesman,
Alex. FL. Stephens.
He was but % years Of age when he
was retained to defend mothers right
to the guardianship of her infant
daughter. At the death Of the ohild's
father Mr.. Battle, the paternal grand
father, had been appointed it's guardian.
The mother marrying man Of intern
perate habits, Mr.. Battle kidnapped the
child. Mr.. Stephens brought him be-
fore the court to show why the child
should not be restored to it's mother.
Knowing that the Battles were many
and influential in the country, the young
lawyer thoroughly prepared himself.
Day after day he sought lovely hill
side, and in its solitude argued the case
over and over again.
The day came for the argument, and
the Court House was filed with ex-
cited men and women. Nine-tenths OF
them sympathized with the grand
father. Pale and trembling the youth
full lawyer arose. Speaking to the
hearts, rather than to the heads, of the
five Judges, he drew pathetic picture
of the bereft mother, robbed of her only
child. F<
Abundant evidence had been given
that the child would be better off with
the grandfather than with the mother
and her drunken husband. It melted
away as the young orator, in voice
quivering with emotion, pleaded that
nature, whose law overrides all human
statutes, justified the sacred claim Of
the mother. l#..
Men and women wept. The Judges
tried in vain to remain impassive-
tears rolled down their cheeks. When
the eloquent advocate finished his ar
gument the presiding Judge pro-
nounced, in faltering voice, Judgment
in favor of the mother. - .-..a
"When that little fellow" said q
cousin of the grandfather, "began to ar
quo oAoo ONOA caAAOuS UIo OCd$SOS u OAo
forest the mother was, by the great law
of nature, the keeper of her offspring,
and would fight even to the death fol-
their custody, and all the Judges fell
to crying, I knew that Isaac would have
to give up Martha Ann" e..
That speech gave Mr.. Stephens rank
with the best lawyers and first orators
of the State.-Yoa1th's Companion.
