rIIden Gathering HIS Delegates.
After all that has been said it ap-
cears that Tilden has fair majority Of
all the delegates to the Harrisburg
Democratic State Convention that meets
in that city tomorrow. Speaker Ran
dali, who is Tilden's right hand man,
sets down the numerical strength Of
delegates at 141 for Tilden to GA against
him, exclusive of the contested delega-
ton of 46 votes from Philadelphia.
Thus Tilden goes on gathering up the
States into his little political basket to
carry with him to Cincinnati. Ever
Vermont, which was at first proclaimed
for Hancock, is now said to be for Til
| dan. There seems to be no doubt now
that the nomination Of Tilden will 10

machinery in consideration Of the barlS

politician who is opposed to Tilden is
represented by the Washington CORES,

was not the choice of the Democratic
party in lis own State, much less In
the Western and Southern States, and

TIC West point Outrage.

Had General Schoheld, who is chief
in the management of affairs at West
Point, been half as anxious to find ont
the perpetrators Of the villanous attack
on cadet Whitaker, as he is to assure
his "dear boys" Of his entire confidence
his efforts long ago might have been
Drowned with success. None can read
tho proceedings Of the investigation
without being strongly impressed with
the idea that there is a great deal Of
lying being done by the cadets, and in
this they seem to be encouraged by
those conducting the investigation. We
can very easily excuse the Hon. Martin
l. Townsend, who represents the Presi-
dent in the examination, for the seem
ing contempt with which he looks upon
the miserable farce. Whitaker Is :
colorsd cadet, the only one in the insti-
tutien. He is ostracised and annoyed
by the white cadets, until life had be-
come almost a burden. He had no
friendly aid to assist him in his studies,
no one to give him encouragement, none
to whisper words Of hope and cheer in
10 his ears. While the white cadets
had the advantages Of social inter-
eourse and the assistance Of each other;
while they were encouraged by paren
tai caresses and the smiles of friends,
this DOOR black boy had to 60 it all
alone,
0se morning he vas found tied to hit
iron bed frame in such position thai
he could not move. His head was Gov

somebody did this, but the boy coule

with faces masked they came into hi
room and seized him while asleep. Il
was poverless to defend himself
and was glad to make no outcry 10
fear of being killed entirely. All thi
occurred at the nations school, ana 10
the last three weeks General schohel
and his associates have been trying

self. II has been proven over and owe
again that on the night Of the mutil'

fact th,t the only reason the mistress could
give for hanging picture in what seemed The
most inappropriate place was that it had never
peen there before. 1t is positive delight TO
most women simply to move things around
with view to bettering the appearance of her
rooms, and she loses interest at oncs in house
which s so constructed that certain articles
must remain in certain places
There is, however, a philosophy in this effort
OF the housewife to give freshness and variety
to her surroundings which is at length beccrn-

THE HON. d. DARWIN HUGHES FOR

The following announcement appears In a
recent number Of the Marshall Chronicle:
d. Darwin Hughes of Grand Rapids is in
town on legal business. In conversation with
Sheriff s. j. Henderson this morning Mr..
Hughes stated that he should vote for Garfield.
He thought Hancock good man, but bad be-
come dsgusted with the Democratic party
This will be surprise to Mr.. Hughes friends
by whom he has been known as staunch
Democrat. When he resided in Marshall he
was once a candidate on the Democratic ticket
for Congress. 1t is scarcely necessary to state
that bis conversion is hailed with delight by
the Republicans, who regard him as a strong
accession.
Mr.. Hughes is one OF the ablest lawyers in
the State, and man OF large ability aud de-
served influence. In 1871 the Democracy nom-
mated him against Judge Campbell for Justice

She invited the bridesmaids, four in number,

beautiful ladies' should use prof,ne words ut
the table. as the hot coffee, or hot weather, or
SLOW servants might afford opportunity It
was bold plan, but it cured the wicked hus-
b,nd; for when his elegant wife remarked to
one OF the ladies that the tea was as hot IS -,
and that the biscuit was too d sour for
any nse, the husband absolutely cried with re-
morse that he had ever himself used such an
outrageous form OF speech.

KEEP ON THE FARM-In there times, when
and others are crowdipg in from other places
seeking for so-called 'genteel" situations, it is
well to give wide publicity to such facts as are
set forth in the following extract from the New
York Journal OF Commerce: One OF the great
problems OF our day, too little discussed by
those who have the ear OF the public through
the press or at the forum, ls to furnish the
young men OF this generation with remunera-
tive employment. The professions are all over
crowded. The shopkeepers are by far too uu-
merous. Agencies OF all kinds are so multi
piled that the occupants tread on each others
toes and are bore and nuisance to the general
public. Clerks out OF employment and willing
to serve for a pittance are to be reckoned by
the tens Of thousands Book kkeepers with
hungry eyes are reading the advertisement lists
IN the vain hope Of an opening for their appli
cations. Collectors, messengers, doorkeepers,
watchmen, conductors, and the great variety OF
others, already expert, seeking employment in
kluuIeu Cdllube, are WditiuB ioi sOLhO
one to engage them. Every possible form Of
service that an be reckoned in the list of gen.
teel occupations is eagerly sought after by the
multtudes who have no other provision for
their daily needs. The men who have been
trying to live by their wits must 90 to work at
the bench or in the field; of these the soil Of
fers the most accessible and at first the most
remunerative employment. The mass OF the
unemployed must seek sustenance from the
bosom Of mother earth. Land is cheap, and
there is q wide area that awaits the tlllsr. The
back may ache, and the SKIN blister IN the sun,
but the bread can be made without fear OF
failure, II the laborer will be faithful to his
calling. 1t needs less wisdom and forethought
than patient industry, aud the man with COM
mon mind may eat his harvest in peace.
