Walking Sticks.

Walking sticks for ladies', so we are told
BY an oracle of fashion. are coming into fa-
vor again. Thus does the whirligig Of time
bring round his revenge tor a discarded Gus
tom. The Empress Eugene made the carry
ing of canes fashionable for her sex during
the gay days of the second empire. But
back in another century, we find the women
as appreciative of the walking stick as ever
was
'Sir Plume, of amber snuff. box justly vain,
And the nice conduct of a clOuded cane"
Ladies advanced in life walked with a
staff between five and six feet in height,
taper and slender in substance, turn
ed over at the upper end in the
manner of shepherds crook, and twisted
throughout the whole extent" Sometimes
these wands were formed of pale-green glass,
but oftener of wood, ivory or whalebone. A
writer of 1862, speaking of the most fashion
able sticks of this period, says: ''Do not
some of US strut about with walklng-sticks as
long as hickory poles, or else with a yard OF
vanished cane scraped taper, and bound at
one end with a wax thread, and the other
tipped with neat ivory head as big as a sill
yer penny?" 1t il, indeed, as an appurten-
ance OF fashion more than as an appendage
of personal utility that we regard the walk
ing-sticks of modern times, though in all
ages man has made the sons OF the fnrest
contribute to his support under WEAKNESS and
old age.-LondOn Globe.

Says the News: 'sWe hope the eloquent gen.

stainless sword is not what soldier covets !;
and the record of stainless sword is that of
an inefficient, worthless soldier, who has
achieved nothing, and deserves nothing.
The Albany Journal says Gen. Hancock
will have to clear himself of the charge that
he was connected with secret organization,
formed in the winter of '76-77, for the pur-
pose Of securing the Presidency to Tilden by

populr verdict 1t the ballot-b0x and SUBJ
sntute for Il the viii Of the democratic
Governor apd Council and other demo-
cratic leaders. What profound regard
for the purity Of the ballottbe democrats Of
Maine who undertook to steal the State
government must have!
Three resolutions are devotedtothe great
fraud Of 1857 and Samuel J. Tilden-
With Mr.. Tilden as candidate the fraud
issue would not have appeared out Of
place, but dropping Tilden and harping
upon the fraud by which it is alleged he
was cheated out Of the Presidency is heap
ing insult upon injury to the old gentle
man in question, and an emphatic way Of
declarin & that the fraud cry is hum
bug.
The last declaration in the platform
which we will notice at this time is the
one in favor of "free ships" This means
that If the democratic party succeeds, the
cheaply built vessels of other countries
shall be admitted into this country to Grip
pie and destroy the shipbuilding business
of our own and other States. This is a
subject in which Maine is deeply interest
ed. Introduce free ships and very soon
our shipyards would be deserted and the
business of building vessels would be
transferred 10 the Dominion .of Canada
and other foreign countries.
We hope our Maine people will exam
inc the democratic platform adopted at
Cincinnati thoroughly, and judge for
themselves whether it is worthy of their
upport.

A washingten despatch says: seen. Han
cock = being highly extolled by the demo-
crats on account Of the statesnanlike quali-
ties be exhibited during the admir- istratioE of
the Affairs Of the Fifth Military district dur
ing the wears ls67-68. 1t is worth while to
recall some of the events of that period. The
order for Gen. Hancock's assignment to the
command Of the fifth District was Tmide on
the 2sth of August. 1867, notwithstanding a
vigorous protest from Gen. Grant against the
removal Of Gen. Sheridan. Gen. Hancock
Immediately came to Washington, wearing
the fresh lsurels he had gathered in his cam
paign against the Cheyennes. He remained
in Washington about month. and was dill
gently coached as Presidential candidate by
ex-Judge Campbell of New Orleans, the
Hon. Robert J. Walker of Mississippi and
Judge jeremiah S. Black. To prove this,
and to show that Gen. Hancock was an
ant student of the programme he was to car
ry out in Louisiana and Texas, a few extracts
from the newspapers Of that period are nec-
essary.
The programme Of the democratic mana
gers vho coached Hancock, which amounted
almost to conspiracy to defeat the recon-
strucfiOn laws, was carried out in the South
to the letter by Gen. Hancock. He may at
first have had some scruples in regard to
some of the acts he was put forward TO exc
cute, but they were never made public. He
went to New Orleans and deliberately sought
to carry out measures which would have re-
suited at that early period in stamping out
whatever Of loyal sentiment existed in Louis
lana and Texas and in restoring the rebel
element to the control of affairs. 1t was
suggested to him through the democratic
press, and probably, too, by the adrcit men
who controlled his action, that democratic
nomination for the Presidency in 1865 would
be his reward. The reward dil not come as
soon as it was expected, but Gen. Hancock
has received it at last.

A Shaky Platform.

A Shaky Platform.
We publish in another column the plat
form adopted by the national democratic
convention. 1t corresponds very well
with the nomination made by that conven-
ton of Union soldier on his war record,
to be supported by party which was op-
posed to the cause in fighting for which
that record was made. It's inconsistent
cies are glaring, its principles directly OPP
posed in many important respects to de-
mocrscy as preached and practiced in the
State of Maine and to the interests Of our
State.
The second resolution declares against
.sumptuary laws" That is declaration
against prohibitory liquor laws. The dem
ocrat in Main who believes in prohibition
and It is claimed by the organs of the
party that there are many Of that
kind-fnds the national platform
against his principles in regard
to the temperance question. Every
democrat in Maine who proposes to vote
for Hancock is estopped by his platform
from claiming that he or his party favors
prohibition.
The third resolution declares that the
democratic party is in favor Of "honest
"money, consisting of gold and silver and
paper converted into coin on demand"
Now for two years the republican party
in Maine has been fighting the democracy
and its allies. the greenbackers, upon this
very issue; the democrats opposing re-
turn to specie payments and iavoring an
inconvertible currency. while the republ-
cans advocated ''honest money" a cur
rency as good IS gold and silver and con-
vertible ct the will of the holder. Atthis
very time the democrats and greenbackers
of Maine are in close alliance, having
nominated candidate for Governor whom
both parties support, and a man who left
the republican party because he was op-
posed to the "honest money! doctrines
of the party and in favor of inconvertible
money and more of 1t. If the democrats
OF Maine are in favor Of "honest money!"
In accordance with the platform adopted
nj Cincinnati, it is strange that they are SO
closely allied with the supporters of the
''rag-baby" that they take the same can
dldate for Governor. the same candidates
for Congress, and the same candidates for

Yesterdays dispatches contain the
following comments of leading New
York papers on GarGold's nomination :
Tho lKorli ridicules the ticket and
says that the Democrats will certainly
beat it in November.
The New York Herald concludes it's
article: The Republican leaders in
this State having gone into the third
term movement with all their zeal, will
be crippled by this tremendous mistake,
and by tie loss Of prestige which at
tends its failure, and il the Democratic
party should he reunited tho chances
are against Garfield carrying New
York, which loss would DO fatal to his
hopes. The Republican party is weak
ened by the long contest at Chicago,
weakened by the strenuous efforts for
the third term by many of its principal
leaders, Seakened by the nomination Of
ticket which none Of its members
would have recommended or thought Of
in advance, and it will have hard bat
tie to fight if the Democratic party
should make reasonably good noni-
