solidi.y. General Hancock congratulated the
Greenback candidate for Governor of Maine
on the same day that the Greenback candidate
for President denounces the ruling body Of
General Hancoeks supporters in unmeasured
terms. In the first flush Of confidence in the
election of Greenback Governor In Maine
General Hancock terms it GLORIOUS result"
which would give confidence and strength to
"our forces" The Greenvlle Is. C.) News, on
the other hand, termed it a victory clearly
purchased by the loss of the individuality OF
the Democratic party"
The Republican party is irreconcilably op-
posed to the doctrines and tendencies of both
the Democratic and Greenback parties. For
campaign purposes, however, it would be USE
full for it to know whether it has to contend
with one party or two. If two, why this DEM
ocratic hurrah about Maine when the first
news proclaimed the success Of Greenback
candidates only? II they are acting together,
why this hostility of the Southern Democrats
to their Greenback associates? 1t would be in
tel esting to know which party has swallowed
up the other. Do the Democrats re-echo the
Greenback demand for the unlimited issue Of
paper money or lave the Greenbackers con-
sented to the Democratic declaration In favor
of a currency based upon coin? The fusion in
Maine is evidently to be initiated in Indiana.
The wild financial vagaries of the Greenback
party find ready acceptance among the Demo
Gratis. There is little, therefore, to prevent
their consolidation in the North. The Bour-
bons of the former slave States, confident and
arrogant. invite no alliance and will tolerate
no division OF power Before the Greenbackers
of the North consent to further and more inti-
mate union with party whose end and aim is
to hand over the National Government to the
dictation and domination Of the Southern De-
mocracy, we would recommend a re-readiDg Of

JOHN S. BARBOUR has been nominated for
Congress in the Alexandria District of Vir-

acceptance he said: although delicate
matter, it may be necessary for me to speak
something of myself and my past life. 1t
has been asked where was during the war.

NEW YORK Tribune: On the Saturday
previous to the Maine election, Mule-Buyer-
and-Driver Barnum sent a circular to all
the Democratic editors telling them what to
say on Monday morning. By mistake one
was sent to the Albany Evening Journal,
and that newspaper had the cruelty to pub
lish it. Here it is: Headquarters Demo
cratic National Committee, New York, Sept.
II, 1SS0.-To the Editor of the Albany Ev-
ening Journal: Dear Sir-In making your
computation in the Maine election, please
use as basis the election returns of Sep
tember, 1876, and. their. increase and decrease
as compared with those returns. An edito-
rial should appear in your paper Monday
morning saying that this is the true rule of
comparison, as the Republicans made their
glorification in Vermont on that theory.
May we ask you to give this careful atten-
tion? Yours very truly. w. II. Barnum,
Chairman" The docle editor of the World
like many other Democratic editors, sub
mtted meekly to this order from the mule
driver, and published the article demanded.

HOsU Peanuts are Cleaned and
Sorted.

The modus eperandi by which the nuts
are separated, cleaned and classed is
somewhat as follows The third story of
the building contains thousands of bush
els of peas in bags, and there the contin-
ual roar of the machinery Is deafening.
Each machinery has duty to perform.-
First, there Is large cylinder in which
all the nuts are placed, IN order that the
dust and dirt may be shaken off them.-
They pass from the cylinder into the
brushes. where every nut receives If
teen feet Of brushing before it becomes
free. Then they pass through a sluics-
way to the floor below, where they are
dropped on an endless belt, about 81 feet
in width, and dashlng at the rate OF four
miles an hour. On each side of the bolt
stand eight colOred girls, and as the
nuts fall from the sluice on to the belt
tho girls, with quick motion Of the
hand, pick out all the poor looking nuts.
and by the time the belt reaches the end
two-thirds of the nuGs are picked off, al
lowing only the finest to pass the cruci-
BILE. Those that do pass drop through
another siuice and empty into bags ON
the floor below. When the bag Is fllled
it is taken away by hand, sewed up and
branded as "cocks," with the figure of q
rooster branded on its sides. The peas
caught up by the girls are then thrown
to one side, placed in the bags, and car
ried into another room, where they are
again picked over, the best singled out,
bagged and branded as "sbips." These
are as fine nut as the first for eating,
but in shape and color do not compare
with the "cocks." Having gone over
them twice, we now come to a third
grade. which are called and branded n
"eagles." These are picked out Of tho
cuttings of the cocks and ships, but DOW
and then you will find a respectable
looking nut among them, Though the
eyes of the colored damsels are as keen
as hawk, and bad nut is rarely allow
ed to pass their hands. The cuIliDgs that
are left from the eagles are bsRged, sent
through the elevator to the top story,
and what little meat is in them Is shaken
out by patent shelter, which is not
only novel, but as perfect piece Of ma
chlnery as was ever invented. These
nuts being shelled by this new process,
the meat drops inte bags below free
from dust or dirt of any kind, and is
then shipped in two-hundred-pound
sacks to the north where they are bought
up by the confectloners for the pur-
pose of making taffy or peanut candy.
1t may he here stated that peculiar
kind of oil is extracted from the meat OF
the nut, and in this speciality a large
trade is done among the wholesale drug
gists. There Is nothing wasted, for even
the shells are made useful. There are
packed in sacks and sold to stable keep
ers for:hor4e bedding, and a very healthy
bed they make.-Philadelphid Times.

may be stated as the subduing of color
to modelling and drawing. The dis
tinguishing characteristic of CabanePs
atelier is tho opposite of this there
color predominates over modelling and
drawing, and strong effects are sought
in contrasts of light and shade. AS a
student from Ohio said :-"They sling
color in Cabanel's." Leyman's atelier
is generally considered the least de-
sirable for student to enter, because
the work there is characterized by ex-
treme coldness and a stiff mechanical
execution.
English and American students, on
coming to Paris, find themselves subject
ed to much severer criticism than they
experienced at home. They also find
that they must work harder than they
before had any idea of, if they would
excel in art. In fact, they learn that
nothing but unremitting drudgery will
enable them to take even respectable
rank in their profession, no matter how
much raw talent or genius they may
have.
The average cost of living in Paris
among the American students is $3.50 q
year. Some have to get along on $500,
and others swell out on an allowance
OF $500 or more. The general custom
is to hire lodging-room and take ones
meals at restaurant. The evening is
usually spent in a cafe, where, at a
trifing expense, we can have all the
needed comforts, talk over the work
OF the day, and compare notes on art, or
otherwise enjoy ourselves. The poor
students do not tell their poverty in
Par as they do at home, because things
are peculiarly adapted here to give com
fort to poor people who are intelligent
and refined, without in any wise trench
ing on their self-respect. There are so
many persons of learning and distinc-
tion in Paris who are poor that there is
what might be called an aristocracy of
poverty here, and everything seems to
be adapted to minister to their comforts.
A man can spend an afternoon or even
ing in cafe ut q very little expense,
where he has access to all the papers
and periodicals., and Is surrounded by
high-bred gentlemen. Here he will see
distinguished-looking personaees, with
leads like the antique busts In the
Louvre and the manners of pol
ished courtiers, many of them decorated
with the ribbons of the Legion of Hon.
or, slipping their SIX cents worth of
wine and reading the papers with an air
| Of profund satisfaction. One elegant
old gentleman whom l have often met,
whose apparent poverty is radiated by
his exqusitely- genial urbanity, and who,
l am told, is a member Of the French
Senate, always drinks three sous worth
Of hotmilk, aud yet he is treated with
as much courtesy and Difference as
though he spent Napoleons instead of
sous. The social atmosphere which is
exhaled from such state of things is
soothing to the feelings and exhilarating
to the spirits Of poor students who have
to count their pennies on all occasions,
and renders life in Paris exceedingly at
I tractive to them.

THE POWER OF BEAUTY.

THE FATAL INFLUENCE OF ONE BEAU
TIFUL WOMAN OVER MEMS LIVES.
Washington Correspondence st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
A most distressing affair recently
occurred in the suicide of Capt. Ed
ward Wright, son of Judge "Jack'
Wright, who was recently convicted
and fined for his assault on Secretary
Delano, and then graciously pardoned
by the President. Capt. Wright was
one of the finest officers of the ord
nance corps, and his improvements and
experiments in his line have gained
him great credit. Two years ago he
met at the Arkansas Hot Springs the
beautiful Bessie Paschal, daughter of a
noted Texas lawyer, and divorced wits
of Frank Gassaway. A more fasci-
mating and lovely woman seldom seen
than she, and after two weeks ac-
quaintance they were married. Three
months ago they separated and since
then Capt. Wright had been depressed
and gloomy. After painful interview
with her last week they parted finally,
she winging her way to Philadelphia
and fresh fortunes, and he ending his
unhappy life by pistol-shot from his
own hand. The career of his wife has
been something remarkable. Seldom
outside IF novels and old memoirs dc
we know of a woman exerting such
power over men by the mere spell OF
beauty. Graybeards and callow youths
have worshlped her and grave poll
ticians and professional men gone
wild. AS young lady she was belle
and as a lovely widow she exerted a
more potent power. Don Cameron at
one time was announced as about to
marry her, and the list ofhis comrades
is a long one. A graceful and perfect
figure, great, sad, pathetic eyes, fine
features and most lovely smile, first
impress one on seeing her, but the in
describable charm, the strange fascina-
ton of her ways. the witchery and
magic of her, are too evanescent and
intangible for prose. Her beauty, her
life, and her fortunes would need the
worldly, gushing pen of "Ouida" to
portray some sides of it; for Others
the profound analysis of George Eliot
could hardly suffice. AS figure in
the social world she is destined to re-
appear, and those who have watched
the amazing incidents of her life since
she first entered Washington a preco-
cious young witch of 16 will not be
surprised at any sequel.
