Words of Wisdom.

The only way to have friend is to be
one.
A fox sleeps, but counts hens in his
dreams.
If you act with view to praise only,
you deserve none.
We seek to control others, yet how
few of us are matsers of ourselves.
Always be as witty as you can with
your parting bow; your last speech is
the one remembered.
knowledge, when possessed by only
a few, has almost always been turned to
iniquitous purposes.
1t is easy to pick holes in other peo-
ple's work, but it is far more profitable
to do better work yourself.
We appreciate no pleasures unless we
are occasionally deprived of them. Re
straint is the golden rule of enjoyment.
Good-nature, like bee, collects honey
from every herb. Immature, like spi-
der, sucks poison from the sweetest
flowers. - ~
Insult not misery, neither deride mfr
nifty, nor ridicule deformity; the first is
inhuman, the second shows folly, and
third pride.
In the moral as in the physical world,
the violent is never lasting; the tree
forced to unnatural luxuriance of bloom
bears it and dies.
Beauties often die old maids. They
set such value ON themselves that they
don't find purchaser until the market
is closed.
There is nothing so easy as to be wise
for others; a species of prodigality, by
the way, for such wisdom is generally
wasted
Give little to those who ask, even
though you suspect them of being impos-
ters. 1t may not do good to them, but it
will to you.
The mind is weak when it has once
given away; it is long before a principle
restored can become as firm as one thai
has never been moved
Bad habits are the thistles of the heart
and every indulgence of them is a seed
from which come forth new crop OF
rank weeds.
Great efforts from great motives is th(
best definition of a happy life. The ca
siest labor is burden to him who has
no motive for performing it.

When

From the Detroit Post md Tribune.
When did General Hancock denOunce
the Ku-Klnx?
When did General Hancock denOunce
the Democratic crimes in Mississippi in
1875?
When did General Hancock denounce
the "white line" horrors of South Caro-
lima in 1876?
When did General Hancock denounce
Democratic bulldozing in Louisiana?
When did General Hancock denounce
the methods by which solid South is
secured?
While millions of humane people in
the country have been shocked by these
outrages and vehemently expressed their
indignation General Hancock has been
dumb.
Can the people trust man who has
been thus silent when the country has
been threatened and alarmed by these
eutrages.

POETRY.
Which Way is Your Musket A Pint
in To-day?


Terre Haute Express.
In little log church in the State of Vir-
ginia,
Some negroes had gathered to worship
the Lord;
And after the service they had class
meeting,
That each for the Master might utter
aword.
Their leader exhorted and spoke of the
warfare
Which Christians should wage against
error alway;
And finished by asking the following
question,
(Which way is your muskets p'intin'
to-day"
One after another they gave their expe-
rience;
Some brothers were happy-sOme luke
warm or cold;
One saw his way clear to the portals of
glory,
Another had strayed like lamb from
the fold
At last Brother Barkis-a renegade
member,
And Satan's companion for many a
day
Arose, cleared his throat, though visibly
nervous,
He folded his arms and proceeded to
say:
"Dear brudders and sisters, once was a
Christian
I once was as happy as any one here,
/ fit for de church like battle-scarred
soldier,
And stood by her banners when trai-
tors were near"
Hold on, dar," the leader excitedly
shouted;
"Please answer de question axed you
say;
I've given you credit for all you fit den
Which way is your musket pintin
td-day?
The Democrats talk of the glory of Han
cock,
And boast of the record of English as
well;
Then give them due honor for Judas was
loyal,
Till money was offered; he took it and
fell.
would liken their boast to the boast of
old Barkis,
And then with the class-leader hon
estly say:
Hold on, dar, my brudder' dat isn't de
question;
Which way is their muskets a p'intin'
to-day?"
Shall men who are training with Briga-
dier Generals,
Who fought to destroy our National
flag,
Rise from their seats in the FOrty-siXth
Congress,
To eulogize traitors like Davis OF
Bragg?
Shall men who bow down in Confeder-
ate caucus,
And worship the master they humbly
obey,
Shall they rule the Nation by Washing
ton founded?
(Which way is their muskets pint
in to-day?"
The question, my friends, is of vital i'm
portance;
The Nation is waiting in anxious sus-
penSe;
Each voter can WELD a political mus
ket-
Then WELD it, ask, in your cOuntry's
defense;
The issue before us is clear and uncoud-
ed;
Shall the Nation be ruled by the Blue
or the Gray?
l candidly ask, fellow-Soldiers and voter
(which way is your muSketS pintin
to-day?"

How prematurely the bubble
burst In the panic of 1873 every one
now knows. Scott spent nothing
and grabbed everything. The sum
total of his performance, following
his magniloquent professions,
amounted to grading five miles of
very level roadway from San Diego
eastward.
There is something discouraying
In the duplex line Of reflection we
have suggested. There has hither-
to been much expectation and lit.
tie fruition, much promise and lit
tie performance, as far AZ San Diego
10 concerned. The present rail way
situation Of this long suffering town
differs from Its former experiences
in this material respect-the Bos-
ton capitalists have bought real es-
tate instead Of begging 1t. We
learn that they have purchased at
least $2C0, 900 worth Of real proper
ty in the Pueblo Of San Diego.
Amongst their other Investments,
they have bought the building Of
the Bank Of San Diego, paying
$4,000 for it, and they have fitted
up the offices of the company there
in. While there is less blat her,
there IL really more performance
In the men who now seek to con-

The pleasantest note which has
reached Us during this whole cam.
paign is the telegraphlc announce
ment that Tammany and Irving
Halls, Of New York City, have
composed their differences and
united upon VIM. r. Grace for
Mayor Of the comm srcial metrop-
oils Of the United States. For
three weeks past the New York
Herald has been doubling the abll-
ity of the two factions of the DEM
ocracy in New York to come to an
agreement, admitting that Grace
was the strongest man. It has all
along admitted that If Kelly and
the regular Democracy came to an
agreement, the Empire State was
sure for Hancock. The result in
Indiana, brought about by Repub-
lican money, wrupg from the Of
6ce.holders and joyfully contrib
uted by the national banks and the
corporations, instead of disorgan-
Using, has solidified and inspirited
the lion. hearted democracy. 1t Is no
exaggeration to say that this hap.
py and enthusiastic accord in the
New York Democracy is simply
( paramount to the election of Han.
+ for, in Presidential cleo
tlon, New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut always vote together.
The Indiana Democrats, relieved
Of Landers, will catch . new in
spiration, and they will undoubt-
eddy range their State In line in
November, repeating the expert
ence Of 1872, when the result in
October by no means tref1gured
that OF November. In addition,
California, released from the hum
bug and Illusion of Kearney and
Weaver, with a clear twenty-five
thousand plurality over Perkins,
will give her electoral votes for
Hancock. The Democracy of Ne.
vada, led by Uncle Jim Fair, may
be confidently relied upon to get
away with the majority Of 1880
which the Silver State gave to
Hayes In 1876. The people of
Maine, smarting under the sense of
the Republican frauds which have
been resorted to to count out Plais.
ted, will elect the Fusion electoral
ticket, thus securing to Hancock
three electoral votes in that unex-
pected quarter, and dspriving Gar
Geld of ssven. Thus 1t lightens
along the whole line at once; and
the Republicans, exulting over
their purchase of a momentary
success in Indiana, will find that
this is indeed campaign OF sur
prises, In which Maine will not be
the dominant or the most menac.

pointed out the way, but heavier

1T Is really absurd to chronicle
Col. Godfrey as making Roadway
in the San Joaquin valley. The
vote he will receive there will be
absolutely trlfiing. Outside Of Los

strength Is in Republican strong

Leach's election Is in Godfrey's
candidacy.
