"Walkin' out dis mawnin' to behole
de bewtiful in natur," began the Presi-
den as he rose, "my mind recollected
dat had been axed to explain de secret
of true happiness. In de fust place,
when am man happy 1t is when he's
got lots O money-when he has fixed
his eremy-when he has got good
home. An how many grades of happi-
ness kin you count up! An what am
happiness when you cometo bile it down.
During the silence that followed his
last query Samuel Shinn made an effort
to cross his legs, and knocked the water
pail bottom side up, filling the brogans
of Givedam Jones and Whitelaw Skinner
full of ice-cold liquid.

General Hancock's Wife.

Mrs. Hancock, the wife Of the Gen.
eral, is a few years his junior in age,
and as woman is as imposing in ap-
pearance as he is man. Tall and we'll
proportional, with a most winsome
smile, manner that puts you at your
ease at once, and pair Of eyes that an
innate every line of handsome face, she
is still beauty. although her hair is
becoming streaken with gray. She was
married when the General was but a
young Lieutenant doing daty in the far
West. 1t was entirely love match,
and neither of them have since regretted
tin fact, their home is one of the hap
piest imaginable Mrs. Hancock has
always been opposed to her husband be-
coming candidate for the Presidency,
and she is even above the weakness Of
wishing to be the mistress of the White
House. She dreads the worry OF the
canvass, and il her husband is elected
she thinks that the honor which the 20.
sition brings will be dearly purchased by
the renunciatien of all domestic life for
four years to come, and of his position
as senior major general and his chances
Of soon becoming chief of the army
While she prefers her own home exist
ence, however, there is no one better
qualified to play the hostess on a grand
scale than she. A society belle, even
after her marriage, she has all the self
confidence and resources needed to en-.
terrain the most varied company. There
is nothing in the range of conversation
about which she does not something.
Her greatest charm, however, is-and
it is the Generals also-the art of max
ing every individual atom feel as if he
were the one sole object of her atten-
tons,

Lords Mayor.

The only person in England who en-
Joys, merely by right of office, the style
of Fright Honorable" is the Lord
Mayor of London. There are two other
Lords Mayor-Cork and York-and up
to the close of the last century the wives
of ex- Mayors of York retained for life,
by old usage, the title of "Lsdy." The
Chief Magistrates of Edinburgh and
Glasgow are also styled Lords Pro
vost. Mayoralty in Great Britain and
Ireland is only for year, but the holder
is eligible for reelection at the expira-
ton Of the term, and in London, as else
where, the Office has often been held bv
the same man twice. In London Cor
long time past the Lord Mayor has been
selected from those engaged in commer
cial pursuits, but in Dublin professional
men have often within few years been
elected. Thus, the Hon. Mr.. Verecker,
son Of Lord Gort, was a lawyer. The
present holder of the office is news
paper proprietor, and then there was the
great OConnell himself, also a lawyer.
Neither in London nor in Dublin does
the office NOWADAYS confer any social
distinction, but in the former, especially,
Lord Mayor is in many ways very
important person, more especially where
the initiation of meetings for public OBJ
iects is concerned. Half the battle may
he considered gained if he will consent
to hold the meeting in the Mansion
House.

POINTS OF A GOOD cow.

Mr.. Henry Stewart, in the Raral
New Yorker. gives the following as
the chief characteristics of Il good
cow-the points being so we'll defn-
ed that fny n a make the selec-
tons. The are also in accordance
with the results of experience:
The e~xtremities should be deli
cately formed; the tail long and thin
except at its root, which should be
fine; the head long, fat and thin, but
broad across the eyes. to give room
fer a large brain, which is the foun-
dation for a highly developed and ac-
tive system; the horns fine,
thin and neatly curved; the eyes
bright and active, agreeing with the
active brain, but calm, quiet and
mild in expression, significant OF a
quiet cnntented disposition and one
not readily disturbed or worried. Is
the secertions of the body all come
from the blood, and as a ric:,. yellow
color is desired in the butter. so the
skin should be filled with Il yellow
pigment, AMI the inride of the ears
and,the thighs, and the other places
where the. hair IS light and the skin
plainly visible. should be of a rich
orange color; SO the scales Of earwaS
should be of the same color. The
hair should be fine. smooth and silky
and in short the whole appearance
should be satisfying to The eye and
consistent Il part with another and
well balanced"

81 delegates from various parts OF
the United States. After the APP
pointment of the usual standing

her annual address, under the head OF
Progress in which she reviewed The
history OF the Temperance cause, at
firming that this had been the most
encouraging year the world had ever
seen in the progress Of temperance
reform. She concluded with various
recommendations and suggestions
educational, evangelical, social and
other kinds of work for the promo

MUTTow AS HEALTHY FOOD

Mat on is a very healthful meat
for food. 1t is the the cheapest meat
for the farmer. It's cost is compare
lively small, as the hece from n good
breed will pay for its keeping. Then
there is an additional profit i'll the
lambs. When the animal is killed at
home there is the ptlt, as well as the
rich droppings, wLicl will make an
excellent manure. The pasture will
also be well. cleared OF weeds. With
the exception CT poultry, mutton Is
also the most convenient meat for the
farmer. A sheep is easily killed and
dressed by a single hand in, an hour.
and in the warmest weather it can be
disposed of before it spoils. Science
and experience Declare it to be the
healthiest kind Of meat, and a foolish
prejudice alone leads to preference
for pork.

THE WINTER Is HERE.

The indications are Of a character
to remind US that winter. IS come.
The cold mornings, The o%vercoats,
gloves and other "6xings'' common
to the winter season, have been taken
from their summers place of keep
ing and brought into rise. 1t may be
that even in those sections which are
now the most winterish the weather
may moderate and a considerable
spell Of "Indian Summer as it were
yet precede the real setting in OF the
coming winter.
But at all events we have been SUI
fciently reminded of the fact that
winter is rapidly approaching not to
make it amiss to repeat some sugges-
tions which we have frequently made
at this season OF the year. We have
already taken occasion to urge the
profitableness of shelter for stock,
proper food for dairy cows and the
other domestic animals, the Iraper
care of the horses, etc. Perhaps if a
man is going to neglect either his
family Or his stock, he
had better neglect his fam
lily, for they can tell of his treatment
and ask others to do for them WHIT
it is his duty to do, but does not
do.
Our dumb servants of the stable
and the yard are unable to do this,
and must suffer silently and patiently
any neglect which an unthinking
owner may choose to give. 1t would
require all the resources of In exper-
fenced Humane Society to compel
some men to treat their animals "a
they should be treated. Among far
mers, however, utter Or cruel neglect
Of animals is hapI ] not common.
But there is no necessity Of neg
lecting to provide for the comfort
of the pets either inside or outside Of
the house. We Lore our families. It
is a source of joy unspeakable to
have the boys and girls happy, to lis
ten to the music Of their merry
laugh as they gather about the fire
on the winters evening or to observe
their contentment as, they read the
papers and books which have been
provided for their amusement and in
struction.
We all wish to see our boys ard
girls as contented with their lots us
the children Of others are with theirs.
But we can not expect this is we
provide nothing iii the way of enter
tainment during the long wintef
evenings. The children of the town
and city can readily find enough to
entertain them. Not so with those
on the farm. They can not go to
some sociai gathering, lecture, con-
cert or some other entertainment
when they like. They mnst depend
upon what the house provides and up

LIGHT OUT oFDaRKNEss


Alabama has been wrested from the Re-
publican party by Democratic methods
which have never been resorted to in this
country until within the last decade, but
we have confidence to believe that this lost
ground can DO recovered by the exercise OF
wise discretion and undaunted courage
The whole State may not be redeemed by
the first effort, but it can be in time if the
Republicans are true to their faith and
duty. We have full confidence to believe
that the Fourth Congressional district may
be easily carried in the coming election.
With fair vote and honest count, this dis
trict can give from ten to twelve thousand
Republican majority. 1t is now represented
by General SHELLEY, Democrat, who Sc
cured his election by suppressing the Re-
publican vote. The Republicans should not
allow repetition of this great wrong, and
will not, If they nominate stanch and fear.
less Republican who unders tands his rights
and dares to maintain them, and is bravely
seconded by tho voters. In this connection
the name of General GEORGE NJ. DUsKIN,
Vio plCScul y nllcl OItlUcS DISITlCV AltOTncy
has been mentioned, and from the best in
formation that reaches us regarding him
we are led to the opinion that he can fill the
bill. He is fearless Republican, brave
man, an able lawyer and eloquent advocate,
and would press canvass with so much
determination and vigor, aided as he would
be by reassured party, that his election
could not we'll be defeated. He would, no
doubt, make the canvass on square Re-
publican platform, and with a sternness of
purpose that would encourage the colored
voters to assert their right to vote, WHILE as
United States District Attorney, he could
guard the ballot-bOx against fraud as the
Democrats have wholesome fear of that
officer. We shall be gratifed to record
General DUsKINs nomination, for we shall
regard 1t as assuring at least one Republi-
can member from that State.

could blur page Of the Revised Statutes
printed with JoHEsoN's ink at the Govern
ment Printing Ofllce, and succeeded in max
ing himself the laughing stock of the House
and of the country pr evious to his departure
to the land of oblivion.
While the Messrs. R1vEs were thus en-
gagged in coming all sorts of falsehood about
and getting up investigations into, the man
agement of the Government Printing Office
they did not fail to concoct scheme by
which they procured the passage of law
giving them 100000 for odd volumes Of
the Globe, an incomplete set of stereotype
plates and q small building in the rear OF
their printing house, on Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. To accomplish this they made out q
schedul le by which the sale was made, con-
cealing the fact that there were but two
complete sets in all the number of odd vol
umes, bound and unbound.
In relation to this matter tho following
resolution was introduced in the House, on
Tuesday, and referred to the Committee on
Printing:
WHEREAS, Tho proprietors of the late Globe
newspaper sold to the Government for 100000
a number Of bound and unbound volumes Of
the Congressional Globe, which are incomplete
and worthless, except as waste paper, unless a
large sum Of money shall be expended in re-
printing sufficient number Of volumes 10
mako complete sets; therefore,
Resolved That the Committee on Printing
be directed to report bill to this House pro.
vidng for reprinting sufficient number OF
volumes to make 500 complete sets, to be dis
tributed rs may hereafter be directed by law,
or to direct the Public Printer to advertise
aud sell the said odd volumes at the best prices
that can be obtained therefor, and to place the
proceeds thereof in the Treasury to the credit
Of the public printing and binding.
Would it not be quite as well for these gen.
tlemen to disgorge at least that portion not
paid out to secure the passage of the law,
rather than to spend so much time in get
ting up investigations on false and mali
cous charges ?

THE HILARIOUS DEMOCRATS. .

There was great rejoicing and throwing
up of greasy caps on the part Of the Demo-
Gratis yesterday morning over what they
were pleased to term the surrender of the
Republicans in the Senate on the Deputy
Marshal amendment to the immediate de-
ficiency bill But yesterday in tho midst
of their joy they were presented with q
spread of truth and argument by SEN
ator EDMUNDs which was more sur
prising than palatabe The truth was
plainly and forcibly spo ken in the unwill-
ing ears OF those who were fancying that
they had won the field and had nothing to
do but to enjoy their triumph. This meas
ure has been carried by the Democrats, and
it will undoubtedly be regarded as a
triumph for it is in the interest of fraudu-
lent elections, which is their chief capital
in politics. They have another advantage
in the present stage of the contest, as they
claim, in the fact that the amendment
which Republicans antagonize is of
Republican origin. This abstract fact
cannot be denied, and, after all, we
could wish it had Democratic paternity.
1t is not strictly in line with Republican
sentiment Nevertheless, it may have been
the best thing possible under the circum-
stances, and very likely the amendment of
| Mr. GARFIELD, over which the Democrats
find so much cause for rejoicing, will
receive the approval of the Executive.
| But it cannot be concealed from tho public
mind that this measure is likely TO be made
another move in the game Of give-away
that has been on the board for the past
three years. and which has cost the Repub-
lican party large percentage of its po-
litical capital.
The fact that tile Democrats are in high
glee over this matter should satisfy the Re
publicans that blunder has been COM
mitted on their part from which the other
side hope to derive large advantages in the
way Of frauds in the succeeding elections.
Nothing will gladden. the Democratic heart
so readily MS to discover q chance to de-
fraud the elections Of their purity and hon
esty. This is the most joy GUS prospect that
can be presented to the Democ ratio eye in
this era of its revolution airy purposes, The
chief hope of that party is to throw down
the barriers that have heretofore stood
between the elective franchise and the
multitudinous frauds and wrongs that
tho Democrats have praCticed upon IL
whenever and wherever opportunity has
presented itself Their only hope Of sue
cess hangs upon subversion Of the
ballot and its legitimate force, by the
interposiion of fraud in the vote and the
count. There would be far less rejoicing in
the Democratic party if it discovered in
