CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

GEN. ARTHUR's letter of acceptance
of the Republican nomination for vice.
President was published on the 18th. Inc
writer claims that the colored voters have
been and are practically debarred OF their
right to vote in many Of the former slave
holding States, and that their only hope for
securing the free exercise Of the franchise
lies in the success OF the Republican party.
He indorses the resolution referring to the
public service adopted by the Chicago Con-
yention, and adds thereto his opinion that
the acceptance Of public Office, high or
low, does not relieve one Of any OF his
responsibilities as . citizen or impair
any of his rights to speak and act in
political matters according to his own
will and conscience. In conclusion he urges
that Democratic success in the coming cleo
ton can only be achievedb by the "united sup
port of that section which sought
the forcible destruction Of the Union,
and which, according to all teachings OF our
past history, will demand ascendancy in the
councils of the party, to whose triumph it
will have made by far the largest contribu-
tion."

Learn to Unite Strings.

One story of the eccentric Stephen
Girard says that he once tested the
quality of boy who applied for sit
uation by giving him match loaded
at both ends, and ordering him to light
it. The boy struck the match, and aft
er it had burned about half its length,
threw it away. Girard dismissed him
because he did not save the other end
for future use. The boys failure to.
notice that the match was a double-end
one was natural enough. considering
how matches are generally made; but.
haste and heedlessness "a habit OF
careless observatory irresponsible for
a great part of the waste of property in
the world.
Said one of the most successful mer-
chants of Cleveland, Ohio, day or two
since, to lad who was opening par
eel, s'Young man, unite those strings
don't cut them"
It was the first remark he had made
to q new employee. 1t was the first
lesson the lad had to learn. and it in
volved the principles of success or fall
ure in business career. Pointing to q
well-dressed man behind the counter,
he said:
"There is man who always whips
out his scissors and cuts the strings of
the packages in three or four places.
He is a good salesman, but he will
never be anything more. Ipresume he
lives from hand to mouth, and pre-
sumo is more or less in debt. The
trouble with him is that he was never
taught to save.
81 told the boy just now to unite the
string, not SO much for the value of the
string. as to teach him that everything
is to be saved, and nothing wasted. IF
the idea can be firmly impressed upon
the mind of beginner in life that
nothing was made to be wasted, you
have laid the foundation of success

people, with their abundant natural resources
possess the requisite skill at any time to
clothe. arm and equip themselves for war, and
in time of peace to produce all the necessary
implements of labor. 1t was the manifest in
tentiOn of the founders OF the Government to
provide for the common defense, not by
standing armies alone, but by raising among
the people greater army of artisans, whose
intelligence and skill should powerfully con-
tribute to the safety and glory of the Nation.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Fortunately for the interests Of commerce,
there is no longer any formidable opposition
to appropriations for the improvement of our
harbUrs and great navigable rivers, provided
that the expenditures for that purpose are
strictly limited to works of Nat Onal fmpOr-
lance. The Mississippi River, with its great
tributaries, is of such vital importance to SC
many millions of people that the safety OF Its

the readers OF the evening, give q hne
rendering OF Mark Twain's "Roughlog
It." Pic Niciug has been the order OF
the day at "Island Park" The "Odd
Fellows gathering on lhe25' was theplc
mic ofthe season so far. Some eight trains
with upwards of forty coaches unloaded
their living freight; the town emptied
itself, and the country around came
pouring in, making in the aggregate on
the Island, a number estimated at 5000.
The "Odd Fellows" formed about -
o'clock, and marched around the Park
presenting fine appearance, accompa-
MED by the Weber Band of Baltimore,
and the Frederick City Band. Arrlv-
ing at the stand, Odd Fellow Ode was
sung, prayer offered by Rev. Mr.. Mis-
kimmon, singing by the choir of the NJ.
L. Church, after which z. G. NJ. Cot
troth, of Winchester, delivered an ad-
dress. Several distinguished Odd Eel
lows were present, among whom was
Hon. J. Z. Hoke. Many were disap-
pointed in not hearing him speak, as it
was understood he was to make the ad-
dress of welcome.
Politics is not the only exciting sub
iect with us. For several weeks our
people have been greatly interested III
the question OF "Ilog in or hog out.
Sometime ago the council passed law
that the hogs should be penned, which
gave much dissatisfaction. y petition
of upwards of a hundred names was sent
TO the council asking for lis repeal, but
the prayer of the petitioners was disre-
garded, ana the law ordered to take ei-
feet with the specifying statement.
"This includes all | presume all, big
and little, old and young, as well as ev-
erybodys hogs. The law has been in
force several weeks and there is com
plant that it is not enforced upon all
alike, and this seeming partial enforce
ment of it gives dissatisfaction. Better
have no law than not enforce 1t. BET
ter repeal even a good law than dlScrlm-
mate and not make 1t operative on all.
There is no reason why some should be
allowed to violate and evade it. There
should be no discrimination, for all are
alikein the eyes ofthe law. All good cti-
zens should obey it un,ilrepealed obey
it for example sake, and to dignity the
law.
Human nature is a wonderful thing,
alike in all ages and everywhere. All
you have to do to encourage the deVel-
opemeut OF the latent love of power and
the spirit of domination in mankind, is
to place them in some position OF an
thority and it will soon crop out. What
a penchant some have for petty office.
How often do men change their prlncl-
Piles, if such can be said to have any,
their politics and their religion for the
sake of place and the prerogativo to
dominate. Milton intimates the exls'
lance of this disposition when he makes
one of his characters say: Better TO
reign in hell than serve in heaven"

As the government failed to sell us ont,

great deal of political thunder lately,
and from the blackness of the clouds
might have apprehended some danger,
