THE sin of ingratitude is one that
can not be condoned. That is the
sin of which the democratic party is
guilty. Four years ago, Samuel j.
Tilden reluctantly consented to lead
the party to victory or death. With
the aid of his character as great
reformer and his divers plethoric
barrels, ably seconded by Wade
Hampton's red-shirt brigade and
few energetic bulldozers in Louis
lana and Mississippi, the party
came within few votes of winning
a victory. But now, because their
uncle Samuel is getting little old
and is not physical Hercules, they
want to throw him overheard. For
getting his eminent services in the
past, services that no one could
perform without the aid of his pc,
culiar cipher dispatch system, they
cry, away with him, we will have
none of him

vier county, in which the best citi.
zens of the county participated, the
object Of which was favoring the con,
struction of a railroad from Paint
Rock, on the North Carolina line,
direct to Knoxville. Such an en-
terprise would be of greatimportancc
to that part ofthe country traversed
by the proposed line, and to the

our people could well afford to give
substantial encouragement, and, if
an opportunity offers, we have no
doubt they will.

SAVE THE MAN WITH THE RED
HAIR Pit requires great GOODNESS
and experience to steer course
down the rapids of the Sault Ste,
Marie, says Canadian paper; and
a short time before our arrival two
Americans had ventured to descend
them without boatman, and were
consequently upset. AS the story
was reported to us, one of them
owed his salvation to singular co,
incidence. As the accident took
place Immediately opposite the town,
many Of the inhabitants were attrac-
ted to the bank of the river to watch
the struggles of the unfortunate men,
thinking any attempt at rescue
would be hopeless. Suddenly, how
ever, a person appeared rushing to-
wards the group, frantic with ex>
element. Save the man with the
red hair be vehemently shouted; and
the exertions which were made in
consequence of his earnest appeals
were successful, and the red haired
individual. in an exhausted condi>
ton, was safely landed. He owes
me Sl8,' said bis rescuer, drawing
a long breath and looking approx
ingly on his assistants. The red-
haired mans friend had not credi~
tor at the Sault, aud, in default of
competing claim, was allowed to pay
his debt of nature. and I'll tell
you what it is stranger said the
narrator of the FORGING incident,
complacently drawing moral there
from, "a man'li never know how nee
essary he is 70 society, if he don't
make bis life valuable to his friends
as we'll as to himself.

A CHANGE. -Some years ago it
was claimed that even if our manu-
facturers could produce steel of the
peculiar quality and temper requir
ed, they could not compete with
England in the making of razors
aud other fine cutlery, owing to the
excessive cost of the skilled labor
required in grinding and finishing
these articles. At the present time
the Sheffield cutters are sending RAJ
zor blanks in large quantities to
this country to have them ground
and finished for their home market.
The art of hollow grinding which
is done by machinery here, is too
fine for the Sheffield workman, and
accordingly the manufacturers there
have to pay double freight across
the ocean in order to get their rag
ors sharpened and finished as finely
as the trade now requires. 1t is
either that or a total loss of the bust
ness.

The citizen who is deeply inter
ested 10 politics ought, especially if
be is a Christian, to be particularly
diIgent at this time in his attend
ance upon public worship. If he
talks politics, he may naturally SUIT
fer some exaItation of feeling that
nothing can so effectually calm as
the service of the sanctuary. If he
reads political newspaper in the
morning, he ought to go to a prayer
meeting at night. We anticipate a
period not far off, when pastors will
provide for the unusual spiritual
dangers of campaign by keeping
the churches open every evening
and organizing services of song and
prayer adapted to soothing the ex>
cited nerves of their members.

A WONDERFUL MAN.

There are some men who never
loose hope and courage, no matter
what happens. About twelve years
ago a gentleman 10 London, who was
suffering from ophthalmia, became
blind, and in order to regain his
sight he spent large sums of money
without producing the desired effect.
AS in consequence he became seri-
ously embarrassed, and had no
friends to assist him, he sought ems
ployment, and was eventually en-.
gagged as collector for large estab-
lshment 1t is stated that he finds
his way about London unattended,
travels by means of omnibusses and
underground trains, and goes about
his business in such manner that a
casual observer would not detect his
infrmity, especially as he wears coll
ored glasses to hide his eyes, which
are rather unpleasant to look upon.
The strange part Of the affair is that
everyday he has to learn the names
and addresses of the people he calls
upon, as well as the amount he has
to receive, for which he gives re-
ceipts. And his employers are well
satisfied with the manner in which
the work is done. Surely, after
that, none need feel discouraged un-
der the ills of life.

DISPLAY OF KNOWLEDGE.

In crowded city street an lima
tured mastiff seized little dog by
the throat and threatened to strang-
le him. A crowed soon gathered,
full of sympathy for the little suffer
err and anger against the mastiff.
Words and blows we're freely used
to compel him to let 60 his hold, and
stones and clubs were brought as ad
ditionsl argument. But the ugly
brute held on the more tenaciously,
and the case of the little dog seemed
hopeless.
When everybody was at his wits
end, dandy, exquisitely dressed,
happened along. Looking with a
sort Of contempt on the mongrel
crowed, he said, in a consequential
tone, Leave him to me- The laugh
was general at bis expense.
But with admirable GOODNESS,
drawing from bis pocket a gold snuff
box, he held two or three pinches Of
snuff under the nose of the mastiff.
While the mouth was closed the dog
could breathe only through the nos>
tris. In a moment the snuff did its
work. The brute began sneezing
vigorously, dropped the little dog,
aud half frightened, took to bis heels.
The dandy, looking around compla-
Gently on the crowed, said, Know
ledge is power and went on his
way.

PERSEVER ANCE.

The Chinese have capital illus
tration of the power of perseverance,.
One of their country man, who had
been making strenuous efforts to &C,
quire literary information, discour-
aged by difficulties, at last gave up
his book in despair. AS he returned
to manual employment he saw a wo-
man rubbing a crowbar on stone.
On inquiring the reason, she replied
that she was in want of a needle,
and thought she would rub down the
crowbar till she got it small enough.
Her patience provoked him!tO make
another trial, and be succeeded in
obtaining the rank of one of the first
three 10 the empire.

a woMANs FIGHT WITH A
SNAKE

KINGSTON, N. Y, September
30-Not long ago Mrs Rachel Ded-
erick, wife of Frederick Dederick,
a wagonmaker of Cairo, Green coun'
ty, N. Y, was passing through
field of black berry bushes when she
heard a queer noise. She stopped
and listened, and as the noise ceased
she again went upon her way. Az
ter proceeding a few steps farther
she heard the noise again, which she
now recognized as the whistle of a
species of black snake known as the
racer. She Immediately started to
run, but before she had gone doz,
en- steps the snake caught up with
her and began to entwine his coils
about her body. She had small
tin pail in her hand at the time and
while screaming for help began to
fight the snake with the pail, but it
seemed that every stroke she made
at the snakes head he would dodge
and draw his folds about her body
tighter. She continued to fight and
scream this way for nearly quarter
Of an hour before she got any re-
spouse, but finally heard her hus>
bands answering call. Just then
the snake got coil around her neck
ard throat and she tainted. Her
husband crushed the snakes head
with his boot heel, and then reless>
ed bis wife and carried her to the
house, where she revived. She car
ried blue mark about her throat for
some time where the snake had
choked her. The snake was eleven
feet long and as large around as
mans wrist.
