Two men were attacked by rats
in a corn crib, near Peedee, North
Carolina, recently, and nearly killed.
Their names we're General Bostick
and Anderson Wayles. The whole
of Bostick's left ear was eaten of

Wayles presented sickening sight.
His nose and lips were literally eaten
so that his best friends could not
recognize him, while his left eye was
torn from the socket.

THERE is one Presidential ticket in
the field already. The Pomcroy wing
of Greenbackers held a National
Greenback Convention at st. Louis
last week. A Committee on organi-
cation was formed, with Patrick Ford,
editor of the Irish World, as chair
man. w. II. Blanton, editor of the
West Tennessee Whig, made Dem
ocratic speech, and then withdrew
from the Convention, followed by a
dozen other editorial brethren. The
same old platform was adopted.
The convention then nominated for
President of the United States Ste
phen B. Dilaye, of New Hampshire,
and for Vice President B. j. Cham
bers, of Texas. 1t is thought that
the ticket is very strong one,and will
perhaps receive 40 or so votes.

The Coming Man.

A Washington telegram of the 9Th
inst, says: ...
"The Supreme Ruler of the Uni
verse;" was at the White House to-
day-at least he claimed to he so. He
is about forty-five years old, well Dress
ed, and an Irishman. His name is
John Geary. He said that he came to
take possession, and wanted to be
shown right to his private apartments.
He had not selected his cabinet yet,
but would after awhile. He had the
papers 10 show that he was Supreme
Ruler" but would not let anybody
open the envelope. They were state
papers, he said, which could not be
shown except to his cabinet. He had
no objection to showing part of his
Orable discharges from the army-One
from the Fourth cavalry and the other
from the Sixth artillery. Sergeant
DinsmOre did not regard these as sat
isfactory. After much hesitation, the
supreme ruler said that in order to get
to his rooms he would tell what no one
but himself knew. He was the man
who had just been elected President of
the United States. Garf1eld's name
had been put out. but he (Geary) was
the man who had been the candidate.
He got angry when told that he could
not take possession, and said that ev-
erybody knew he was the Supreme
Ruler. If he had thought for a mo-
ment that there would have been any
opposition to his coming in, he would
have brought $4,000 soldiers with him.
When asked to take a walk down the
street, he took the hint, and left in
dignantly, vowing vengeance. He did
not look the least like an insane man.

In Berkshire County, Massachusetts,
family of sparrows took possession
of house which martins had used the
season before. One day the martins
came, and, finding their quarters oc-
cupied, began a battle, for possession.
The fight ended in ayvictory for the
martins, who drove the sparrOws away
and turned their nests out OH the
ground. Next day the sparrOws re-
turned, strongly reinforced, and re-
newed the battle. This time they were
the victors, and the martins were driv-
en- away. But on the following day
the martins returned with abundant
reinforcements, and once more the
conflict was renewed. This time it
last ed all day, with great fury, and at
night the battle was a drawn one. At
this stage of affairs compromise was
effected. The martin house is in two
stories, and, as if by mutual agreement,
the martins took one story and the
sparrOws the other. On the following
morning both tribes began building
their nests in their respective stories,
where they have continued to live
peaceably ever since.

Sectionalism has triumphed.
Chinese cheap labor has trIumphed.
The coercion of the white working
men has triumphed. pa.
Falsehood in newspapers and OIL the
stump has triumphed.
Capitalization has triumphed.
= The Empire has triumphed.
1t is not the triumph of Garfield, it
is the victory of the strong man who
came to his rescue in Ohio and Indi-
ana before the 18th of October, and in
whose hands he is. We cheerfully
announce to the people of the United
States, or the large portion of them
who will read this issue of our jour-
nal, that we can endure these victories
if they can endure them. We are GER
tainly in as good a position to suffer
them as the laboring men of the
United States. But the triumph is
not permanent. The Democratic prin.
ciple, the idea which underlies our
system of government, is as lasting as
the continent on which that Govern

old as the century, can survive the de-
feats of quarter of the century. 1t
has" sounded forth the trumpet that

Republic lives it will live. If the

spirit of centralizstion, of centralized
power that does not differ from the
