DE11aHrru1 SENSATIONS OF HANa1Ne

DELIGHTFUL SENSATIONS OF HANGING
A remarkable accident, which came close
to being fatal in its consequences, is re-
ported to have happened yesterday morn
ing to lad living at 66O Columbia street.
The boy is about IL years old, and named
Doyle. Young Doyle went out into the
back yard and was waiting for o boy
named Hughes to come over with q pig
con, with which they were to have some
fun. In the yard was a revolving circu-
lar clothes-line, with arms, and which
stood on platform. Young Doyle was
on the platform, and was whirling the
clothes-rigging around, when a section
of the line dropped down, and catching
the lad around the neck, lifted him clean
from his feet He was unable to get
down, and hung there in mid-air, as it
were The position was one of extreme
peril Slowly the lad was choking to
death. It would not have required q
moments more time to have converted
him into o corpse. Fortunately, as it
turned out, little girl of Mrs. Hughes,
living next door, happened out and saw
the boy hanging in the manner described.
She ran in and alarmed her mother, who
hastened out and took the little fellow
down. It was just in time, too. He was
partly unconscious when rescued, but
speedily recovered. The only unpleas-
ant reminder now of his narrow escape
from q singular death is a red ring around
his neck, where the rope ching to it, and
q sunken look to the eyes. The lad, in
describing his feelings, said he felt splen-
did. Just rs thongh he was way, way
up iIifthe sky, and inst sailing in the air. !"

Good Manners and Equal Rights.

If you pay half-a-dollar for admission
to a concert or any other entertainment
You have right to the undisturbed en-
joyment of that which you pay for; and
persons who come tramping into the
room while the entertainment is in prog
ress, or who go tramping out before it is
concluded, or who by hustle and whis-
pering prevent you from hearing what
you came to hear, are robbing you of
that which belongs to you. These per-
sons would not, of course, steal half "a
dollar out of your pocketbook, but if
they willfully spoil that which cost you
half-a-dollar, their act is essential lar
ceny. Well bred persons never do any
of these things, because we'll bred per-
sons are always careful to respect the
rights of others.
If you pay for one seat in railway
car you are entitled to that one seat; but
if you occupy two seats, while any de-
cent person who has paid for one seat
has no seat at all you are simply rob-
bing that person of what belongs to him.
The writer of this not long ago saw a
we'll dressed lady sit for an hour and
look in the face of an equally well
dressed man who stood during all that
time and held a young child in his arms
because there was no vacant seat in the
car save one in which this lady had
placed some small parcels of hers, and
which she did not offer to relinquish.
The man had paid for the seat, and it
belonged to him. The lady had not paid
for the seat and it did not belong to her.
She would have been greatly insulted if
she had been called q robber, but what
was she doing? In some way she ought
to have been delicately admonished
that to take what does not belong to
her is not one of the rights of woman,
and that it is evidence of lack of good
breeding.
You secure, by the payment of a good
round sum, q berth in sleeping car
That should entitle you to Immunity
from disturbance by your fellow passen-
gers. Unhappily it does not always.
Not long ago train stopped at midnight
in q large town at the West where it was
to remain for twenty minutes. Into the
sleeping car of that train came three
passengers, two males and q female. It
appeared that they had just met in the
station, and on entering the car they
were exchanging loud greetings. They
sat down in one of the sections and went
on with their conversation, without any
lowering of their tones. The porter of
the car was absent while the train waited
in the station, and after he returned lie
seemed to be too timid to rebuke the
takers, so they kept on for the best part
of an hour, talking and laughing much
louder after the train started than before.
The fact that there were dozen other
passengers in that car, all of whom were
in their berths, and all of whom had pur-
chased right to sleep in the car, was a
fact of which they were utterly oblivious.
Yet these persons evidently belonged to
what is called good society. Their Ian
guage was grammatical, their dress was
faultless, and one of the males was a
clergyman. Company.

HAPPINESS IS CoMPARATTvE.-Ther is
a very touching little story told of poor
woman with two children, who had not a
a bed for them to lie upon, and scarcely
any clothes to cover them. In the depth
of winter they were nearly frozen, and
the mother took the door of a cellar off
the hinges and set it up before the corner
where they crouched down to sleep, that
some of the draft and cold might be kept
from them. One of the children whls.
pered to her, when she oanplalned q
how badly off they were, Mother,
what do those dear little children do who
have no cellar door to put in front OF
them?" Even there, you see, the little
heart found cause for thankfulness.

The St. Louis Republican truthfuliy

The St. Louis Republican tru.hfuIiy
says:
1T is to be hoped that the eyes of the
Democratic Greenbackers IN this state will
be opened to the real object of the national
Greenbacker movement by the recent con-
duct of Weaver in Indiana. Weaver pro-
jected himself into the contest In that state
about two weeks before the election. 1t
might be supposed that he went there to
urge the Indiana Greenbackers to support
their own candidate for governor; but be
did not. The Greenbacker vote in the state
shows great falling off; indeed, it
to next to nothing-and the
explanation of the fact given by Indiana
Democrats is that Weaver turned his party
over TO the Republicans. This fact accounts
for the large gain made by the Republ-
oans In NIgo and other counties where the
dreenbackeIs were unusually strong"
That is about the size of it and what is
true of Indiana is equally true Of Illinois.
Let Democrats who have taken up with
the Greenbackers be on their guard and
not be sold out to the Republicans. That
!, about all the Greenback party at pres.
ant is used for-as a side show for the
1t is time Democratic
Grecnbaekers saw through the triek.

tosoe played upon. They are to be thus
given to understand that these government
officials are to report to Washington all
who vote the Republican ticket It is ex-
pected that the fear of some underlined
punishment that will be melted out TO those
negroes who do not vote the Republican
ticket will prevent any of the blacks from
voting the Democratic ticket. as many of
them have come to do since the departure
of the arpet-baggers and the troors.
Then, too. it is expected that the hope of
some Office or the traditional forty acres
and mule will bring the negroes to the
polls, when without such incentive they
might have remained at home. This is
the last device of desperate men to recov-
er the 0negroTvote of the South. They
realize that they have lost it; that the
negroes have gone naturally TO the politics
OF their old masters, and that the loo; !
political machine cannot prevent them
from voting against the Republicans
They therefore bring ia the federal official |
violating the law and prostituting the Office |
in order that the authority Of .the United |
States, with all that it implies to the
superstituous negro mind. may become an |
adjunct of the Republican committee.

the supervisors to cook up rows and dis.
turbanoes and to report them, not to their
official superiors. .but to the Republican
committee. 1t is undoubt

many as possible.

What They Predicted.
Rochester Democrat


We must give the Democrats credit for the
doing of these things:
They predicted that secession would be
peaceable
They predicted that the States would not
respond to President Lincoln's call for militia
They predicted that the militia would re-
fuse to cross the Potomac and invade Vir-
gnia. 4.
They predicted that money could not be
raised to sustain the army. And the people
hlled the treasury.
Thee predicted that the people would not
take the greenback
They predicted that the greefback dollar
would be as valueless as rags.
They predicted that grass would grow in the
streets of New York.
They predicted that England and France
would form an alliance with the South tese-
cure cotton.
They predicted that poverty stricken peo-
pie in the North would compel the government
to terminate the war;"
They predicted thatGrant would never cap
ture Richmond.
They predicted that the war for the Union
would be failure.
They predicted that the confederates would
never be overthrown.
They predicted that the people would never
consent to emancipation.
They predicted that the people would never
ratify the amendments to the Constitution.
They predicted that the freed negroes would
become race of paupers.
They predicted that the people would never
permit black men at the ballot box.
They predicted that the war would termin-
ate in a vast standing army and military die
tator.
They predicted that the child was unborn
who would live to see gold or silver restored to
the currency of the country.
They predicted that the interest on the vast
public debt could never be paid.
They predicted that specie payments would
not be resumed on the 1st OF January 1879.
They predicted that the resumption Of specie
payments would bring universal disaster and
ruin upon the business and industries of the
country.
And not only did they predict these things
but they did all in their power to bring the
predictions to verifcatiops. Isn't this fine
gang of iconoclasts to which to entrust the
best interests of the country They may go on
with their evil prophesying, but they may

The Independent Temperance Ac-


) The action of the two conventions at Port
land ON Thursday, in condemning Governor
Davis on temperance grounds, and nominat-
ing Joshua X. Osgood of Gardiner as an inde-
pendent temperance candidate for governor,
does not represent one prohibitionist. out of
fifty in this State. 1t was the action of not
more than ten temperance Republicans out of
the more than $4,000 in the State; of about
thirty temperance reformeIs who have usually
voted the Democratic ticket, several Of whom
last year voted for Governor Davis; and about
30 Fusion politicians, many of whom appeared
in temperance convention for the first time,
who intend to vote for Plaisted in any event,
and who are urging on and aiding this move
ment as their last hcpe to secure Fusion sue
cess. The great body of the temperance men
of the State, observing that the movers in the
scheme had arranged to nominate guberna-
torial candidate in any event, did not think it
worth the while to go to Portland to vote
against it in the morning meeting to which
they would have been admitted, and concluded
to stay at home. A few men like ex-Govern-
ors A. p. Morrill, and Perham, and Reys. John

ways opposed prohibition and temperance, and
which is at this very hour on trial for
wicked attempt to overthrow the ballot box.
No unprejudiced temperance Republican
could be present at these meetings, and OBJ
serve the interest manifested by ex-Councillor
Chase ex. Librarian Stacy, Senatorial candi-
date Eaton and other Fusion leaders in bringing
about the result reached, without having his
eyes opened to the fact that the contingent
leaders are looking to this so-called temper
ance movement to take enough votes from the
Republican ticket to save them from the con-
demnation which awaits them
These contingent apostles will hnd them

How To Prepare for the Harvest.

Albany Journal.
While political clubs may be unnecessarily
multiplied, no town or ward should be without
one. They are indispensable as a nucleus
around which the earnest and active members
of the party can gather. But to be efficient
they must be practical. A club which ceases
to breathe as soon as it is born is Of no use 1t
is like some men who never work themselves
and are always in the way of those who are
willing to work. t
In these organizations great deal depends
lpon the officers. If they are Jealous and
efficient.the club will be. If they are not, and
have neither heart nor adaptability for the
work they have assumed, the best thing they
can do is to get out of the way.
1t may seem an easy thing to do the work
these clubs are expected to do. But those who
have had much experience know better.
What is needed to be done requires a great
deal Of patience, system and perseverance.
Meetings and parades are we'll enough in their
way, but they are only useful as stimulanfs to
more important and practical work
The primary duty of a political club is to en-
roll the voters of the ward or town, to ascer-
tain their preferences and to bring such influ-
ences to bear upon the hesitating or doubtful
as will draw them in the right direction, A
club which does this sort of work is a success:
club which neglects it is failure, and the
sooner it dissolves the better it will be for the
cause it is ostensibly organized to promote.
