N. Y. Tribune, Republican. Aug 2S, 1880.
The adjustment is shrewd one fol
the Democracy.
1t will not do for Republicans to un-
derestmste the strength of this coali

pull, and pull of the Democracy all to-
gether to carry the State. While there
will still he 'alou,y between the fac
tions, the followers OF each will exerl
themselves to see which can cast the
larger vote for Hancock.

New York Star, August 2s, 1880.

N5W IUfK otar, August 70, IooU.
Since the close of the civil war q new
generation has grown up in the South
ern States, and large immigration has
taken root there from the Northern
States and foreign countries. Operating
among these elements, with the negro
vote as a virtual uait at its command,
and with the powerful lever of patron
age 10 its grasp, the Republican party
certainly should have maintained and
augmented its strength in the South il
it had any positive merits to recommend

Not Tone Fooled.

A young man Of about twenty
three years Of age, with neither
money nor the prospect Of getting
any, came to the conclusion chat the
best thing he could do would be to
marry a erich wife, and live on her
money. Among his many .acquaint.
ances was a widow lady about twice
his age, with three children, but
with steady income Of two thous-
and year Her he resolved to mar
ry, and in order to cultivate her
friendship, he took her presents of
flowers and fruit, and gave the child
rem rides on his horse. The lady
kindly received his attentions, gave
him the liberty Of her house, and
/ treated him like a younger brother
; in every respect The young fellow,
interpreting her Kindness to suit
himself, and believeing he had moth
ing to do but ask her, ventured one
evening on the subject in the follow
ing manner
'-'-eI wonder very much why you
don't re.marry, Mrs. LIZ"
Simply because no one wants
widow with three children"
II know one who would be proud
to have you and your dear children;"
said the wooer, feeling the worst was
well over.
"Indeed, you are most flattering this
evening"
"No, lam not fiattering. / love
you, and would be proud to be your
husband"
She looked coldly on him; then re-
piled:
"You mean you would be proud to
own my money, sir. l have been
vastly deceivedin you" Then point
ing to the door, she continued
Leave my house, and while I live,
never dare to re,enter it,"

Marrying TO Avoid Being Mar.
ried.

A lady came into Birmingham,
England, with q handsome equip.
page, and "desired the landlord Of
the inn to get her a husband, being
determined to marry somebody or
other before she left the town. The
man bowed, and supposed her lady.
ship to be in facetious humor, but
being made sensible how much she
was in earnest he went out in search
of a man that would marry fine
lady without asking questions. AZ
ter many repulses from poor fellows
who were not desperate enough for.
such venture, he met an exercise.
man, who said he ''could not be in
aworse condition than he was" and
accordingly went with the innkeep.
or, and made u tender of himself,
which was all he had to bestow on
the lady, who Immediately went
with them to one who gave license,
and made them man and wife, on
which the bride gave her spouse two
hundred pounds and without more
delay left the town and the BRIDE
groom 10 find out who she was or I'M
riddle this strange adventure. Soon
after she was gone, two gentlemen
came into the town in full pursuit
of her; they had traced her 80 far
upon the road, and finding the inn
where she had put up, they examin-
ed into all particularsof her conduct,
and, on hearing she was married gave
over their pursuit and turned back.
IT'S supposed the young lady in a
desperate fit, for fear of being mar
ried where she did not like, choose
this unaccQuntablo way of prevent
ing it.

Boys and Tobacco.

If we had the power of impressing
truth, we would utter a protest
against the use of tobacco in any
form. Would say to every young
man, taste not, handle not the I'm.
clean thing. 1t is q near kindred,
if not twin brother to whiskey.
1tcarries with it the power of an
evil habit whose bands are difficult.
to unloose. 1t is tryant which as
surely enslaves as alcohol, though
not so pernicious in its effects.
We would impress upon the young
that it is far easier and better to pre-
vent an evil habit than to cure it.
This involves much time and perse-
gerance, and is . difficult an often
an unsuccessful task.
The argument against the use Of
"the weed" are manifold and strong.
1t initiates against the physical, the
mental, and moral man. Self pres.
ervation is natures first law. To
maintain a sound body, a clear
head, and clean conscience, is the
self evident duty of everyman. All
stand on the g.otnd of accountable
ty to God.
This habit is also an expensive
one. Money is paid'for that which
brings no proft-It is but an unnat-
nral appetite which cannot be salts
fled, but Graves for more. 1t is a
filthy, disgusting habit, offending three
of the five senses. 1t is an incon-
venient habit, difficult to accommo-
date to circumstances, to elegant sur
roundings, and to refine society. It's
comfort is short lived: its pleasure is
delusiye; its recompense is weakness
and pain, and often a premature
gave.-Ex.

clean Beds.

..i
II must be a false idea Of neatness
which demands that beds should be
made soon after being vacated. Let
it be remembered that more than
lthree-ffths of the solids and liquids
taken into the stomach should pass
Off through Che pores Of the skin,
seven millions in number, and that.
this escape is the most rapid during
the night, while warm in bed. At
least one,half of this waste of putrid
matter from twenty to thirty ounces
in the night must become more or
less tangled in the bedding, Of course
soiling it, and that part Of this may
become re-absorbed by the skin if it
is allowed to come in contact with it
on the next night, as it must if the
bedding is not exposed for a few
hours to the air and light. We may
well initiate the Dutch example Of
placing such bedding on two chairs
near the window, in the sunlight; or
in the window, that the best purifier
known+the light Of the summary
dissipate their impurities, or neu-
tralize them. At least three hours,
on the average, is as short exposure
as is compatible with neatness. 1t
is also desirable that the air should
pass through open doors and windows
and that as much sunlight be admit
ted as possible to the room in which
about one-third Of the time is spent.
In addition to these measures it is
well to have the attic windows Who'll
ly or partly open, and the door open
leading to it, SO that a free current
may pass through all the rooms, up
the stairs and out into the outer
world, to become purified by vegeta-
ton, etc, before being again respired.
Clothes thus aired and summed will
not demand more than half the u.s.
ual washing, though they can scarce
ly be washed too often.
Another means of promoting per-
sonal cleanliness is by an absolute
change of all clothing, morning and
night, wearing nothing by night
that is worn by day and vice versa.
Such clothes as are hung to sun by
day and dry by night, and such only
are fit to be worn by those who have
a reasonable regard for personal
cleanliness. And Imay remark that
when such clothes are removed for
the change, it is Of the utmost i'm
portance to the health that the skin
should be subjected to q reasonable
friction-as by flesh brush, a crash,
a coarse flannel, or the hand, as a
means of cleanliness, and OF improv-
ed circulation.
