A Wii'e'S Messenger.

Joseph Stewart, o! COnOcS, Is coH-
vivial by nature and occasionally SO
in practice. Joseph is married and
has wife whom he loves, but she
has beautiful mare that Joseph
owns, and of which he has made
great pet. Now the mare is never
easy unless in company with her
lord and master, and, from long
companionship, is acquainted with
Joseph's haunts, and il let alone will
follow him like dog. Now, last
night, Joseph WAS out with some
friends canvassing the probable re-
suit of the Chicago convention, and
the party were enjoying themselves
in a saloon. Joseph, knowing his
favoritc mare WAS safely housed in
her stall, and fancyins his wife III
bed asleep, did not dream OF ad> i'll
terruption TO his pleasure. When
midnight came, however, the party
were astoundcd by the appearance of
the mare in the open doorway, and
the animal, stretched her head for

a VETERAN REpUBLICAN FOR HAN
COCK lion. \. c. Towle, of Mas
sachuscUs, was appointed Recorder
of the District of Columbia by Prosi-
dent Lincoln, and is one of the vet

has now come out fol General Han

the latter named gentleman, hemlng
date Aug. lst, thus states his views
and pcsition: " ! congratulate you
and the country upon the result OF
the meeting of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention ut Cincinnati 1t
has submitted to the American poo
pie Presidential ticket character-
lied by great ability ana sounq con-
stitutional principles. But TIN. IS
not ALT is II clean ticket. lhe
names borne upon that ticket are
not only illustrious by their deeds OF
heroism and craftsmanship, but they
are unstained and unuimmed by even
suspicion of acts OF II questionable
character. The supporters of this
ticket have no use ior lawyers or
politicians; they have no indictments
to defend and no mysticism to clear
up. Here is no taint of the Credit
Mobilier to be deodorlzed, and no
spoils of the Tweed or Shepherd
rings to be accounted for. The peo-
pie want clean, pure Constitution,
al Administration OF the General
Government, firmly maintaining Its
dignity and its authority, and re-
specting the rights reserved to the
States aud people, and the people
see in this ticket reasonable guar
antee for such an Administration, and
ifIam not mistaken, will elect 1t by
such a majority as will render ae the
counting of the vote no difficult
task"
