A Case If Bribery,

Two American tourists in England say,
in a letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
that they easily made their way by bribery
into the gallery of the British House of
Commons. "There appeared in plain
black clothes, a clerical, lobbyist looking
man, who said: Gentlemen, you want
to go into the gallery Of the house. Fol
low me right iu. Look about you as if
you we're familiar with the place, as if
you had been summoned in by amember,
or by the speaker. So we followed on,
meek as sheep in spirit, but spruce and
Indifferent as possible, and when we
finally crossed the barrier Of the last
lobby, and stood in the octagon space
right at the door of commons, we saw
lunch counter and several peers chewing
and good many policemen; and here
our man, to whom we had meantime
slipped half crown, or 621 cents, said
again: REMAIN hele. Keep your eye
on me. Look round as if you had a
right here In a half minute more we
got the wink from his majestys civil
service representative, and walked across
the octagon to where an old son of sin
in red and green clothes was sitting in a
big chair at the foot of staircase.
Walk up, gentlemen, he says. And we
dart, leaving beneath us all forms of
majesty, and, bold as brass, we slip into
one Of the leather pews, and watch old

sitting on the ministerial bench, and hear

Death from Overwork.
from the st. James Gazette.

It was saying Of Sir George Lewis
that, although he had heard of many
persons killed by idleness, he had never
met with a genuine case Of death from
overwork. It cannot be denied that i'll
nesses attributed to excessive mental
labor are often due to other causes of
less elevated kind-such as indigestion
produced by want Of exercise, or neglect
Of simple rules as to diet; but, on the
other hand, deaths from overwork are by
no means unknown in the present day
among those engaged in physical labor.
A melancholy case of this description
formed the subject Of recent coroner's
inquest at Sheffield. The deceased was
a striker at some steel works. "Strik~
ing" is an occupation that involves
great strain on the physical powers of
those engaged in it, and may be de-
scribed in every sense of the term as
"hard labor" It being necessary to get
out an important order at the works, the
men we're told one day recently that they
must work all night. The deceased con-
tinued to work accordingly through the
night without cessation; nor did he cease
from his labors until past noon on the
following day, when he fell down and
died suddenly, his death, according to
the finding of the jury, being due to ex-
haustion caused by overwork.

A "Reminiscences of L afayette,

A writer in the Troy Times says that
in 1850 Fennimore Cooper told him that
while in France he called on @ certain
day by appointment on Lafayette, and,
and after the usual greeting, Layafette,
pointing to an adjoining room, observed:
"Whom do you think, Mr., Cooper, /
have now locked up in yondcr room -
"It is Louis Napoleon. Mr.. Cooper,
greatly surprised, at once inquired of
Lafayette what object Lonis Napoleon
could have in view in coming to his
residence. "Will you believe it," re-
piled Lafayette, "he wants to marry my
granddaughter, and to have me join
him in arproject to make him president
of France" And upon Mr.. Cooper's
further inquiring of Lafayette what dis
position he had made of those PROPOSE
tions of Louis Napoleon, the general re-
piled with much gusto, f'I toldhim that
I never interfered in matrimonial mat
ters, but left the members of my house
hold desirous of assuming matrimonial
relations to choose for themselves their
partners for life, as was the custom in
America"

Matt Carpenter's Text.

Senator Carpenter has just been inter-
viewed in Washington concerning his
health and the campaign. He declares
that his physicians request, that he alb
stain entirely from the excitement of the
campaign Will be respected, inasmuch as
he needs rest in order to be prepared to
work hard during the next session of
congress. The senator has, however,
very determined views, and, in his fol-
lowing terse presentation Of them are
texts enough for dozen campaign
speeches:
The Republican party came into power in
1861, upon the eve of a protracted and bloody
war. The treasury was empty, the navy sailing
in foreign oceans. our handful of army scat
tered ali over the Union, the national credit at
a low ebb, and, indeed, all the circumstances
attending it's Inauguration were as uDfavorable
as can be possibly conceived. But out OF this
danger and darkness, through four years of
war, the Republican party has brought the ma
ton to state of prosperity never experienced
before. You may take any one of bali dozen
of subjects, and it alone would crown the party
with glory and honor. Take, for instance, the
conduct Of the war, prosecuted on gigantic
scale and covering an immense territory, and
resultingin complete success. A volume might

Incident Of the War,

Artemus Ward once said he "would
love to die for his country, but ifit was all
the same to the country, he would like
to die of old age." An amusing anec-
dote, which shows that Artemus
philosophy is widely entertained, is told
by writer in the Philadelphia Times.
It was told him by one Of the boys who
was present at the battle of Murfrees-
boro,, Tenn.
When the lines Of both armies were
advancing to the charge, arabbit, or more
properly, q hare, was aroused from his
qu let seclusion Immediately in advance
of the Confederate line, and went bound
ing away to the security of the hills,
making at each jump large exhibit of
white bunting.
In the line there was a great, raw
boned North Georgian, who was cele-
brated for his indomitable courage and
reckless bravery.
He had the reputation Of being will
ing to fight anything, and was supposed
not to know the meaning Of fear, but his
apostrophe to the vanishing rabbit not
only put the matter into a different
light, but caused burst of laughter
from all who heard it. He said -
$50 it, little cotton tail !! Go it while
you've chance. I'd run, too, If 1 didn't
have any more reputation at stake than
you've got p
The poor fellow never returned from
the charge. He had lost his last chance
of running.

It is but natural for powerful man
with such training and such impulses to
utter the most eloquent thoughts in his
political addresses to young men, and to
lead them to adopt his political opinions.
He cannot avoid engaging their respect
and good will, as he leads many of them
to recognize their abilities, and to attain
to situations and usefulness and honor.
His brilliant success must stimulate
those who are diligently studying in our
higher schools, amidst discouragements
and protracted labor, to complete their
course and fill exalted ideas in their sub
sequent lives. His election this fall as
president of the United States would
give the opportunity for him to influence
the character and advance the standing
of young men, as no other political
leader has ever done in this country.

be written describing the obstacles that were
encountered and the skill, vigOr and energy
with which they were overcome. So the sub
ject of finance. Starting without money and
without credit, what glorious contrast is pre-
sented by the present condition of things; our
bonds to-day being the preferred security i'll all
the markets of the world, all irredeemable cur
rency honestly withdrawn from circulation, and
specie payments resumed; every industry
prosperous and everything promising success
for the future. Take the subject of slavery,
existing in 1861 in eleven states; to day entire
ly abolished, the slaves made frecmen
and citizens, and their rights secured by con-
stitutional law. And so we might proceed in
the enumeration Of subject after subject, in re-
gard to which the Republican party has achieved
such renown as never was won by any party in
this country before. TO say what the Repub-
ican party has done is to say not only what the
Democratic party has not done, but what it has
done everything in it's power to prevent. Look
back to 1861 and picture to yourself what would
have been our condition to-day if the Democrat
lc party had been in power all these years.
The rebellion would have triumphed, and the
Union been dissolved; slavery would have exist
ed and been extended; we would have lost the
respect of foreign nations, and ruin would have
stared us in the face. In view of these facts. it
is quite safe to submit to the people, to the
business men, and the laboring classes of this
country, whether it be wise Or safe to turn out
party which has made so glorious a record,
and put in party which has struggled against
the present state of things at every step.
