DAVID MISSING 1T.

Uncle DAVID DAVIS for keeping an eye
to wiudward in politics has had few
superors in this country, and if he has
failed of arriving at the highest pinnacle of
success it has not been due to any want Of
attention to the chances or exertion to
meet them on his part. The friendship of
Mr.. LINCOLN was SO strong that in public
estimation DAVID at first was looked upon
as LINCoLN's penulnbra, if not his twin
brother, and thus he had a good sendoff on
capital that cost him nothing, and did
better service for him by far than GREELEY's s
coat.tail did for GRATz BROWN; and this,
combined with some talent of his own, n
good deal of money, and not little cum
ming, made him believe that the
path to the presidency was as clearly
open before him as it had been to his friend
ABE, On being phced upon the supreme
bench by LINCOLN his ambition was stimu-
lated the more and the belief in destiny be.
came stronger within him, so that he lost
no opportunity Of giving out political opin-
ions as often MS occasions presented them
selves, keeping, however, so near the edge
of all political parties that he could strad.
die any ordinary gap with comparative
case. Thus he went on until the creation
Of the electoral commission, when fortune
put the key Of the position into his hands,
National Republican., 1880-08-12

and he held iu his own right unquestioned
the awful power of deciding the presidency
and the fate ofthe two greatest political par
ties ever matured in this or any other coun-
try
The crisis was tremendous and too big
for DAVID. He slipped. He slipped out
of the responsibility, slid of the bench, but
with wonderful agility and uncommon good
luck be slipped into the senate to the
despair OF T1LDEN, however, and the great
est disappointment of his belo we'd demo-
cratic party which had counted upon him rs
the certain bulwarlx of their cause and the
only tangible excuse for the creation of the
electoral commission. To the patriotic
mind of good democrat il was hardly con.
ceivable that any other democrat should, for
the sake Of the difference between a seat on
the bench and seat in the senate, be willing
to let the party 80 under for four years
more when it had got so near the very
throne of power but so il was, and DAVIS
let everything CO. including, some think,
his own opportunity. In this last
idea we do not concur. DAVID knew
well enough that if he gave the case to
TrLDEN he would never get anything more
from the republicans, and he knew with
more certainty that four years of TuDES
would be all of democratic rule the country
could stand for another quarter of cen
tury, and, hence, to slip out was wisdom
and necessity
When the campaign of 80 was commenc-
ing DAVID still had his eyes open, and after
waiting quite rs long as was safe for some
one TO ask him which side of the fence he
was on, and waiting in vain, he finally
wrote to his old friend BROWNING, who is
another political hedger of like genus,
very sweet and captivating account of his
own opinions, which were almost good
enough for the democratic, republican,
greenback, national or any other market.
1t was really beautiful letter, and might
have accomplished the purpose of the writer
had he not slid out of the responsibility
four years before and smashed all the dar-
ling expectations of TILDEN and his horde;
but that act was fatal, though wise notwith-
standing, for the reason before given. The
democrats could not forget it, and didn't
so DAVID came to grief.
Another letter from him has now ap.
peared going in for HANCOCK. 1t has come
early enough to be called seasonable, thus
designedly correcting the suspicion that
the venerable gentleman is always late. 1t
also was designed to correct a rather exten-
sive belief that the writer is inclined to
pivotal position, and likes chair with amini-
mum quantity ofupper surface. That these
suspicious have been detrimental must be
admitted; but, alas, the correction has come
too late, and our friend, though early aud
at last decided, has made another mistake
by sliding down on the wrong side Of the
fence. However much he may resemble
Mr.. LINCOLN, he in this respect is his con
spicuous opposite. The difference is as
wide as that between sticking TO princi-
pie and gently sliding off, and the difference
will prove fatal There is no presidency in
store for DAVID. He has missed it, but
such was to be his fate.

MINOR TOPICS.

SEVERAL Of the sojournors at Deer Park and
Oakland, on their return thorefrom, suggest
that DIR. Tanner shall repair thither as n
boarder and thus test the question of starva-
tion in those localities for fow weeks.
THE fact that DR.. Tanner finds himself able
to not only cat but digest large quantities Of
food aud rapidly regain his lost flesh and
strength, proves that his long fast did not i'm.
pair his digestive or assimilative organs
This overthrows another pet theory of the pro-
fession. They were positive he could not fast
forty days, or oven thirty. Secondly, If he
should his stomach would be so weak
ened that 1t could not digest any sort of food;
hence he would die whom he should attempt to
eat anything. fthe doctors fast does nothing
more, 1t does prove that DR.. Eberly was right
when he said the science OF medicine has as q
basis more false than true theories.

their heads over a case of birth which
recently occurred at an humble home on
Forty-third.and-a- half street. The moth
er of the child is the daughter of hard
working German. She is only Ii years
and 10 months old, and is considered
small in size for age. On the 2sth of last
month she became the mother of a large
male child, and it is alleged that the

physician was hunted up and interview

exceptional case in the annals of obstet-
RIGS. He had never attended mother
50 young. He had read in the books
about such rare occurrences. and had
heard the professors in Germany, and
medical schools in this country which he
attended, talk about them, but had
never met one before. The child is very
large, he said, and the mother is deli.

healthy, and has no notion of dying
The mother is recovering, and "willsoon
regain her health" A Penn avenue
physician was interviewed, too, but pre-.
ferred not to have his name in print in
connection with the story. Such cases,
he said, were rare indeed. However,
the history of medicine shows that girls

WHO OWNS THE FASTEST TROT.

NCW XVI M0Hs
A reporter has interviewed Mr. bon
ner concerning fast horses. and that gen.
tleman is far from willing to admit that
the world contains feeter trotter than
one or two to be found in bis stable.
There is undoubtedly much rivalry be-
tween Mr.. Vanderbilt and the proprie-
tor of tue Ledger as to who shall have
the fastest roadster, and had Mr.. Van.
derbilt's offer Of $4,000 secured St. Ju.
lien, that gentleman would doubtless
feel that he is the owner of a pair which
no one would be ablo to pass on the road.
And since it is generally believed that
Maud S. can equal if not improve the
time made by St. Julien. at Hartford, he
no doubt considers himself the owner of
tue fastest roadster in the world. Mr..
Bonner believes that the best time on
record will yet be brought down several
seconds, and he is confident that Rarus
can trot in 2:l0, and Edwin Forrest, with
record of 2:l5t to a wagon, is the
greatest wagon horse in the world,
Since Lady Tuff;olk trotted mile in
2:29s, astonishing reductions in time
have been made, the official record of
horses that have gone below the time
which made Dexter famous being as fol-
lows:

Mr.. Bonner attributes the improve
ment chiefly to toeweights, smoother
tracks and lighter weights, and confesses
that without his toeweights Edwin For
rest would not be worth $500, and Maud
s. would be no better He adheres to bis
purpose to give public exhibition Of
bis best horses, although his refusal to
permit them to trot for money will pre-
vent them from obtaining an official rec
ord. Whether Rarus, Maud S. or St.
Julien is the best horse is a question
which admits of doubt, and the owners
of the first two are not likely to aban-
don their claims 10 the distinction of
owning the fastest trotter without a
struggle.

price of cotton pays them for their
labor.
"A great many other crops can he
cultivated in the South that will pay
better than cotton. The raising of
sheep, cattle, horses and mules will pay
better than cotton. Corn can DO raised
with six months labor, and leave the
white man all the hot months to rest.
It will pay him better than . cotton
crop, which requires much more hard
and constant labor. The great curse Of
the South is raising too much cotton.

WHY THE NEGRO IS POOR.

A correspondent at Oakley, Arkansas,
writes as follows to the New York Sun !:
"The best thing that the friends of the
negro can do to help him will be to teach
him to love work better than play; to
love the boarding Of money for a rainy
day better than fine clothes and fun
and frolic; to love cold water better
than whiskey; to learn to love truth
better than falsehood.
1T is fact that can be substantiated
by every planter in the Mississippi Val
ley, that if the negroes had shown the
thrift and industry of the white race
they could to-day had owned every acre
of land in the valley from Cairo to New
Orleans. I know a man who offered a
large plantation to his negroes just after
the war if they wonld give him two
years steady work, he to feed and
clothe them; yet they refused. In the
river bottoms negro can make and
pick an average of ten bales Of cotton
to each hand that goes to the field,
and children between nine and sixteen
years of age can do one half of this. The
negro can rent land for a third of the
cotton and third of the corn. At the
sane time be and his family can grow
enough corn, peas, potatoes and winter
vegetables to support themselves.
Last year they quit picking cotton
about the 1st of Dece,n Der, and began
TO make another crop abont the lst of
April. During the intervening four
months | do not know of single negro
who earned his board, and yet wages
were 81 per day. For two months in
the Summer they do no work. Planters
have learned that negroes will do no
work as long as they have money. 1t
is not true that they axe charged more
at the stores than white men owning
the same amount Of property. Any
negro family who will work and save
their money can soon become indie
pendent.
''lt would not ipjure the South if
every negro should leave it. 1t would
injure the large planters in the river
bottoms, but II would lie beneficial to
the small farmers, who now make two
thirds, if not three fourths, Of the cotton
that goes to market, Corn could be
raised on the large plantations on the
river. 1t now sells in New Orleans
about so cents per bushel. Its cultiva-
ton will pay more rent on the land
than raising cotton at the present price.
Any corn raised in the Sonth is better
for shipment to Europe than Northern
raised corn. The thing for the negro
to do is to 90 to work like a white man
and help himself.
"Mr. Burwell says, that in the Gulf
States white men can't or won't under
60 the exposure of the cotton That is
not so. In all the country free from
malaria white men do work in the cot
ton field, and will always do it if the

man, he advertised on Tuesday to give
aspirtual seance, and whence the whole
party fed with the door-money without
even trying to give an exhibition. He
next turned up in Cartwright, Ontario,
opposite St. Clair.
While Norris had been laying the wires
for Buchanau's discovery, and knowing
that the woman who passed as his wife
at Windsor was Philadelphia prostitute

Wednesday the necessary papers were
procured from Gov. Creswell Armed
with these, aud accompanied by Phil

officer, Norris, one other journalist, and
another interested person went to St.
Clair, where it was expected that
iswould be possible to capture Buchanan,
a trap having been laid to induce him
to cross the river volun arily.
Twice the boat SEM for him returned

Buchanan round the body. Buchanan
gave shrek, and then Detective Miller
took his arm, while Norris, letting 90

In response to a question by Chapman
as to whom he was, he answered: ''Tou
know me, Chapman"
The party then locked arms in the most
friendly way and proceeded to he'hotel;
where they stayed till four o'clock in the
morning, when they took steamer for
Port Huron. arriving there at six o'clock
aud going directly to the Huron House.
At four this afternoon the party started
for Philadelphia. Buchanan's plan was
to start a disreputable house in San
Francisco, and, with this view, sent the
woman back to the East to procure four
girls to take with them. The intention
was for the party to work their way
across the continent by giving lectures
and bogus exhibitions, like the one in
London, and by raising funds in other
disreputable ways.

Shooting Affair.

A row occurred Thursday evening about
| o'clock on Fifth street, near Oak between
Pat Lyons, alias dublin, and his wife, re.
sulting in shooting affair. Lyons and his
wife have not been living on very agreeable
terms for some time. A few months ago
she left his bed and board and has been
living not very reputable life since. They
have lived together since the separation at
brief intervals but were constantly quarrel
ing. Thursday evening Lyons and his wifi.
got into some dispute, during which he
used some very insulting language toward
the woman. She retorted SHARPLY, and
Dublin getting into an ungovernable passion
drew from his pocket a five shooter and
fred at his wife. The shot took effect just
above the collar bone,
After receiving the shot the woman fed
and screamed, which raised the neighbor-
hood Lyons did not attempt to use the
weapon again. Chief Lappeus was notified
of the shooting affair and pispasches two
officers to the scene Immediately. Dublin
made no resistance, but accompanied the
officers to the city Jail, where he was locked
upon charge of assault with intent to
kill
DR.. Jones was called and examined the
wound. He pronounced the injuries not
dangerous, and ordered the woman to be
taken to st. Vincents hopital, which was
done. The matter will probably be referred
directly to the grand jury, which is now in
