his axe, as tailor with his goose and
needle, or as blacksmith with his
hammer, or a raftsman or flatboatman
with his oar, as soon as he succeeds in
elevating himself into higher spheres in
life, he knows intuitively how to appear
In the best society. In his conduct and
behavior and refined manners he is not
to be distinguished from those who are
born to the ''craft'' and those who were
raised in it., The President, the Sena-
tor, the Minister and the Secretary who
started in life as farmers boy, rail
splitter, tlatbOatman, tailor or carpen-
ter, is nothing more or less than gem
tleman who, with ease, grace, and With
out constraint or embarrassment, can
move in the salons of the proudest Lords
and Princes of Europe. II what has
been said is applicable to any self-made
man in America, it is applicable to
James A. Garfield. In appearance he
is noble and distingUe; his carriage, his
speech, the clearness and vigor with
which he expresses his thoughts, his
practical knowledge as well as his
knowledge as a statesman, would be an
ornament TO any member of the British
Cabinet, even if he does not quite come
up to Gladstone, to whom he has been
often compared. AT all events, Garfield
is most splendid specimen of self
made man, and as President of the
United States he will be an honor to the
Nation. Illinois Stats ZeitURg.

GEORGE w. ALDRICH, of Wayne
County, N. Y, has an Indian relic,
plowed up on his farm, that has thus far
defed the guesses of all who have seen
it as to its use by the aborigines. It is
of stone, nine inches in length, two
inches in diameter at one end and rum
ming to point at the other. Through
the entire length of the thingis groove
one-half an inch across and the same
depth at the largest end, coming to
point at the smaller end. 1t has highly
polished surface, which exhibits under
a magnifying glass, various hieroglyph-
les which are invisible to the naked eve.
THE bamboo lance, says London
Truth, has been for many years in use
in our Indian army; lately it has been
adopted by the Germans, and at last,
after much stupid indecision, it is to
come into use in the English cavalry.

BB~A Democratic, success in New
York in November does not necessarily
mean the election of a Democratic Pres
ident. The Democrats must carry New
York in order to elect, but the Repuh-
licRns can elect without that State. The
solid South has only 1873 Electoral votes,
and the Democrats must look to the
North for foriy-seven more in order to
havea majority In the Electoral College.
New York may give thirty-fve of these,
and they will still be twelve short of the
requisite number. They must either
carry Indiana, which has fifteen votes,
or New Jersey and Connecticut, which
together have fifteen, in order TO elect.
They viii find this much larger con
tract than some of their sanguine lead
ers now imagine. The Republican
party elected Mr.. Seymour to stay at
home twelve years ago, and II is stronger
now than then. -IoiOa State Register.

true merits have not been considered, because
they lacked facilities that railroads offer -
IT'S believed that the entire grading Of the
East Line Narrow Gauge railroad will be
completed to this place by the LIST Of July.
The Denison Il Southeastern railroad is
progressing rapidly toward us. 1t is the plan
OF the management to lay down the ties and
rails, build tres:els and bridges rs the grading
is done, and expect to complete the same
and run trains here before October next.--
Our town is fully awake and alive to the an
ticipated changes awaiting it. Several large
brick.yards are being put in operation. Two
stores are being built adjoining the Watson
house, and fronting on Dallas street, to be
completed at an early day. This will be the
third business house, besides livery stable
on that street, leading out west from the pub
lie square. Unless active work begins shortly
towards erecting brick-stores on tho square,
the prediction is that the streets leading off
from it, and lying between the depots will be
built on, thus taking the business in those
localities. The organization of fire COM
pany and ample water supply is the princi-
pal excitement with our citizens.
