In reference to Mir. Blaine's chances for the presidential nomination it is pointed out that in 1876 he received the support of many dele gates from the Southern States. In 1880 he is not likely to receive much support from that section. In 1876, too, MT. Blaine had solid delegation from Illinois, but the chances are that the Illinois delegation this year will be for General Grant. His only chance of se- curing the nomination seems to depend on

But the trail of the serpent is over them all, as those who have been attending meetings of advocates of the "higher life" doctrine at 8 house in New York have discovered. The brethren have lately missed their canes and umbrellas, and setting watch discovered the thief. They are going to pray for him.

The action of the Postofice department in suspending the operations of the lottery order, 50 far as it relates to M. A. Dauphin ot the Louisiana lottery, until after the case shall have been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, unless it is satisfactorily plained, will not strengthen public confidence in the department. In this order the depart ment makes an admission of weakness not all together consistent with the vigor and per sistency which has characterized the prosecu- tion of the lotteries The admission is that the department is not satisfied from the evi- dence before it that Dauphin is engaged in scheme or device for obtaining money through the mail by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations and promises. Since proceedings against the lottery compa- nies were begun the Louisiana Lottery Com pany, which is the wealthiest concern of the kind in the country, has had powerful lobby in Washington, and the Louisiana delegation in Congress has shown an unwonted interest in the proceedings. Prominent members of Congress were engaged to defend the inter ests of the company in court. But notwith
 standing all this the department gained a substantial victory in the Supreme Court of the district, which tribunal approved the &C., tion of the department against the lotteries. It would be interesting to know why, after be- ing strengthened in it's position by the decis- ion of tho court, the Postofdce department has suspended its order so far as it relates to M A. Dauphin. Can the lottery agents have had any influence in the department

Mormon Emigration.

A New York dispatch of November 4 says:
s'The Wisconsin brought 24s Mormons yester-
day, under the leadership of John Nicholson,
editor of the Milennidl Star, of Liverpool,
organ of the Church in Great Britain, and ten
other Elders, among them E. D. Snow, son Of
the notorious Mormon apostle; Edward G.
Brain, Secretary of the British Mission, and
Jacob Rivoir, an Italian. There has been q
mission in Italy during the past three years,
and as the first results of it ten Italians were
among yesterdays arrivals. The others were
divided into It's from Great Britain, "a from
Scandinavia, II from Germany, z from Switzer-
land, 2 from Holland, and one from France.
They are not all destined for Utah, some being
intended for other Territories, into which the
Mormons have recently been extending their
domination. This is the last batch that will
come out this year. The total arrivals for 1880
foot up 720. The impression here is not strong
that a President who battles with Mormonism
paper and accepts public Sunday receptions
from Mormons at Salt Lake will meet with
much success in abating this growing evil"

A Business

An enterprising darkey of a calculating
turn of mind, says a Florida paper, called
on a gentleman who owns a garden in
the City of Tallahasseea nd represented
that the garden was rapidly growing up
with grass, which, if left to go to seed,
would render it impossible to grow vege-
tables on the spot next year, and pro-
posed to cut it down for a certain sum,
which the gentleman agreed to pay. He
then went to the gentleman who had re,
Gently rented the premises and made the
same proposition, which was again nc
cepted, the latter not knowing, of course,
that the owner had agreed to pay for the
work, as the darkey had studiously kept
that to himself. After cutting the grass
and collecting pay from both gentleman
our hero proceeded to the owner of a COW,
sold the grass for double what he charged
for cutting it, pocketed four times as
much money as the work was worth, an6

TRAGIC BALLOON A.cen., n.

A special cablegram from Paris to the Gin
cinnati Commercial relates the following hor-
rible accident: ga frightful and probably I'M
precedented balloon accident occurred last
evening at Courbevoire, near Paris. A large
crowd had assembled to witness a novel and
perilous ascent of q gymnast called Auguste
Navarro, who mad volunteered to perform q
number of athletic feats on a trapeze suspended
from the Montgolier balloon named Vidou-
~villaise. Rejecting the advice of the bystand-
ers, Navarro refused to allow himself to be tied
to the trapeze. There was no car attached to
the balloon. About 5 o'clock the Vidouvilliase
was let loose from its mornings and rose in the
air. Navarro, hanging to the trapeze, appeared
quite confident, and repeatedly saluted the
spectators. When, however, the balloon had
reached the height of nearly one thousand
yards the crowdw were Mortified to see him sud-
denly let go Of the bar and fall. The tragic
descent was watched in breathless excitement.
At last the body reached the ground, striking
with such force that it made a hole in the earth
two feet deep, and rebounded four yards. It
was crushed and mangled almost beyond recog-
milton. Meanwhile. the balloon, freed from its
human ballast, shot up with lightning speed,
and soon disappeared from sight. Late in the
evening it burst, and fell at M~enilmontant,
much to the CONSERVATION of the inhabitants in
that Partisan quarter.

A Petrifed Woman.

On Thursday last, says the Carson
New appeal, Alonzo Zaleno, an ltal-
ian fisherman, discovered a petrified wo-
man at Cascade Lake. He was going
out to fish at the time, and when pushing
off his boat, struck his oar against some
thing that attracted his attention. He
investigated the matter, and to find a
petrified hand protruding from the sand
and pebbles ON the beach. In a short time
he had unearthed a woman in O complete
state of petrifaction. 1t was small in
size, brown in color, and scrawny and
emaciated. The petrifaction had q hide
GUS appearance, and the body originally
must have belonged to a shriyeled, sick
ly woman. The left breast was well
developed, but the arms and legs were
not much larger than the bones should
have been, and the fingers of the right
hand were gone. The petrifaction
weighed nearly two hundred pounds, and
amore unsightly object could not well
be imagined. 1t was brought down to
Lake Bigler in the afternoon; and L.. J.
Wilson, of San Francisco, has offered
500 for it, as he wished to present it tc
the Academy of Science. LIN all prob
ability the body is that of an Indian
woman. There is a tradition that years
ago the Indians had o battle at Cascade
Lake, in which the squaws joined, ant
the dead were buried on the shore of Tho
lake. Under certain conditions the hu
man cadaver petriies; more especially IL
water. The finder wants $3.50 for hi
prize, and it is probable that the sun
will be paid by the academy, and the
curiosity sent to San Francisco.

Cremation Of the Dead.

Exactly how to dispose of the ashes of
the dead in the most satisfactory manner,
after cremation is accomplished, is still a
question. The ancient practice was to
deposit the ashes in a funeral urn, to be
preserved in a tomb or other sacred
place. This is also the modern custom.
But if tombs are to be required then there
is not much need for cremation, as the
corpse may as well be buried in the tomb
without cremation.
A recent American patent consists in
providing q parlor bust of the deceased,
cut in marble, and in making a hole in
the back of the bust, wherein the ashes
are to be deposited after cremation of the
body.
A further improvement, suggested by
one of u lady correspondents, is to pre-
pare a wet mixture of cements for arti-
fetal stone OF marble, and sprinkle the
ashes of the deceased into the mixture,
which is then to be cast or pressed into
the form of busts, statuettes, or other OBJ
jects. In this way various members of a
family might possess enduring portions
of the ashes Of the departed one .-Scien-
tifc American.

i'm The Matter.

That ''woman's wit is often superior
to mans WISDOM. was ~convincingly
proved in a circumstance that occurred
inthis city recently. 1t appears that Mr..
Ludwig ~Schwarzler, a widely known
Grocer OF Station Road, suffered with a
very painful rheumatic headache to such
a degree, that he was obliged to seek the
aid of a physician. ALI medicines he
used were of no avail. This induced Mrs.
Schwarzler to buy st. Jacobs Oil. She
procured bottle for her husband. With
the second application he found relief.
The pain left him and he is as well as
ever again. Aremedy acting as promptly
as this certainly deserves universal pat
ronage.- ChiUicothe(R Ross County, Ohio

hain't got anythin' else," replied the man
of pints and pounds. "You may put
me up half q dozen pounds" said Smith
kins. I'll be after them presently"
By-and-by he returns. Handing the
matches, the grocer said, sweetly, lis
that all, to-day, sir?" "Why, no."
Smithkins returned. 81 did want ten
pounds of sugar, and a barrel of flour,
and q tub of butter, and q few other
things; but when I asked you if you
had any matches, you said You hadn't
anything else, so L bought the other
things over at Herrington's across the
way." You can fancy the feelings of the
grocer, but they cannot be described.

customers ever since that day.

Long visits, long stories, long exhorta-
tions, long prayers, and long editorials,
seldom profit those who have to do with
them. Life is short. Time is short.
Moments are precious. Learn to con.
dense, abridge, and intensity. We car
endure many an ache and i'll if it is soor
over, while vel pleasures grow insipid
and pain in~tolerable, if they are pro.
tracted beyond the limits of reason and
convenience. Learn to be short. LoI
off branches; stick to the main fact in
your case. If you speak, tell your mes.
sage, and hold your peace; boil down
two words into one, and three into two.
Always learn to be short.
