He Forgot the Bullet.

It is but seldom that the comic ele-
ment enters into attempts at suicide. A
diverting exception to this general rule
is afforded by the suicidal enter
prise of Hungarian engineer, resident
at Temesvar, who, being steadfast yo-
tary of Bacchus, had drunk himself into
so unsatisfactory state of mind that
few days ago he determined to put an
end to his existence. Having provided
himself with a pistol, and locked HIM
self up in private room of hotel In
the town, which apartment he had spec
tally hired for the purpose, he pressed
the muzzle of the weapon against his left
breast and pulled the trigger. The usual
explosion followed, and the would-be sui
eide fell to the ground, where he lay pa
tiently for several minutes, waiting for
death. Dissolution, however failing to
set in as promptly as he had expected,
he presently arose, left the hotel and
walked home, with view to dying COM
fortably in his own apartment. 4 little
later on, perplexed by his unaccountable
vitality, he sent for surgeon to examine
the wound Beyond slight scorching
of the skin, no injury could be detected;
and, while the surgeon was vainly search
ing for a mortal hurt, his patient anx-
iously inquired where the bullet had
lodged?" "I fancy" was the reply,
"that you must have forgotten to put it
into the pistol" tsGive me my waist
coat, calculated the intended self-slayer,
and, sure enough, safely ensconced in
the watch-pocket Of that garment was
found the missile with which he had de-
signed to extinguish his vital spark.
Since this discovery he has quilted
Temesvar, in which town he found that
his rash attempt to kill himself with a
charge of powder and wad had rem
dered him the object of more public
notice, attended by uncomfortable hi
larity, than was altogether agreeable to
him.-London 1eleQraph.

Is this man leader for great people?

Turn your contemplation, for moment, to-
ward the gallant General nominated at Clncin-
matt, who, in long public life, has held many
positions of the highest responsibility. wherein
his course of action must be decided by his own
unaided judgment and sense Of highland
show me an instance where he has ever sbrunk
from any duty, however painful, when it was
his duty.
1 have never heard but single act of his
even. criticised and that. in my Judgment, re-
bounds to his credit. He had what all agree
to have been most unpleasant duty-the
carrying into execution the imperative order Of
his commander-in-chief, in the case of Mrs.
Surratt. l need not here do more than ex-
press the opinion that 1 gave in Congress, in
1SS8-that this execution was a murder, under
judicial form, of an innocent woman.
AlEagree that our candidate did everything
that he might do to have that cup pass from
him, but when that could not be, i'll the Ian
guage of our own poet Whittier, he sounded
the deep bass of duty done, doing the thing that
he ought to have DONE however abhorent to his
feelings The least said about the case of Mrs.
Surratt by the Republicans the better for that
party. 1t was grievous mistake, the outcome
of the aroused passions of men under the ex-
citement after the most horrible murder OF
Abraham Lincoln, President of the United
States.
Whenever he has been called upon to act, our
candidate has shown that he determined for
himself wisely, and acted upon that determine
ton, and has no step to retrace, no act to

If any one desires to read his mind, and
search out the springs of his action, let him
read that most admirable letter to Gen. Sher-
man upon the unhappy condition of affairs
arising out of the Presidential election of 1876.
Written in the confidence and under the seal Of
private correspondence it exhibits Gen. Han
cocks innermos; thought as the obedient
soldier within the line where obedience was
duty, the analytical statesman, who guided
himself by research into the language and
principles of the Constitution, taking that for
his guide, and evincing determination not to
recede one hair from its mandate, nor step one
inch beyond its provisions under Whatever
stress or pressure.
Every word might well be written to-day,
under the light Of all that is past, and would be
equally sound after the event, as it was pro-
phetically right before the event.
Such is our leader. Men of Massachusetts, !
! you have now the golden opportunity to put
| the destinies of the country under the guidance
of his firm hand, strong will, mature Judgment,
! LOYALTY to the Union for which he battled, and
fidelity to its Constitution, which he has ever
1 made the guide of his action.
1 At the conclusion of the speech the meeting
adjourned, with three rousing cheers for Han.
cock and English, followed by q round OF
similar applause for Gen. Butler.

The Way They Do Up North.

A Detroit man who was hunting land
in Antrim County, came across settler
who was doing some logging with yoke
of oxen. The two sat down together on
a log and had talk, during which it
transpired that the settler had been
deacon in village in the southern part
of the State, and had lately moved in
there. By and by the Detroiter moved
on, but after travelling for half a mile had
to retrace his steps to secure closer par
ticulars regarding the lay of a surveyed
highway. While he was yet eighty rods
away he heard shouts, and the nearer he
drew the more the shouts sounded like
cuss words. When he reached the clear
ing the settler was jumping up and down
and pounding the oxen, which refused to
pull ON log. Every word uttered by
the settler required three exclamation
points to punctuate it, and were ground
out like wheat from hopper.
"My friend, didn't understand you
to say" observed the Detroiter, that
you were deacon of the church ?"
"Whoa, there, you -- internal
-, you, or ri knock your horns
off! Yes, that's what I told you"
"And you expressed the hope that you
might become a shining light in this
wilderness ?"
"I did. Back up there, you - old
hyena with horns on! Yes, that's my
hope"
"But the language you have, and are,
making use of is utterly inconsistent
with your asserted faith and profession. !"
"Stranger-whoa, you old impl-
stranger stand up there, or I'll chaw
your ear off-stranger, there's only one
way for Christian to work alongside of
yoke of straw-colored steers. I've tried
all other ways, and I've had to
come to this. See that - internal
idiot-headed steer trying to turn his
yokel Hold on till I cut the hide off of
his ribs p
"What way is that ?" asked the De-
troiter, after the settler had worn up
his gad and thrown the stump of it away.
"You've got to holler. and yell, and
swear and sweat, during. the day, and
sing old Hundred all the> evening!
! The general opinion around here is that
one sort O. balances the other, especially
as none of us go fishing on Sunday; but
if it don't balance, and there's anything
extra laid up agin me, I've got to get
even by pounding that mule hitched
over there with one hand, and holding
the other over my mouth. Whoa, there
back up, or I'll cut your hides to shoe
strings !'-Detroit Free Press.

Why General Grant favors Reciprocity
Treaty.

General Grant has been loquacious lately,
yet still merits his cognomen of the Silent
Man, as when he speaks he does so tersely
and to the point. In short, "he hits the
nail on the head every time he strikes in
his long speech at Boston on Mexican trade.
His views to-day are what he has held for
many years, confirmed by experience gained
in his travels, and may yet be taken as the
watch.word Of the Republican party as
against what ultimately must be the plat
form of the Democrats after their defeat in
November next, viz: Increase of trade to
the United States by commercial treaties,
against general system of free trade, as
ventilated by the Democratsin their Cincin-
natl platform, but what has been indiciously
ignored by General Hancock in this cleo.
ton as a "local ISSUE" The principle laid
down by General Grant, commends itself
to all conditions Of men, and more particu-
larry to conservatives. The interests Of
this Republic are not essentially those of a
manufacturing community, yet the manu-
featuring interests being held by the We, 18th
and brains of the Republic, command pre-
ponderating influence in the policy of the
nation, aud are served by treaties with
countries whose products do not interfere
with the natural products of the United
States. A reciprocity treaty with Mexico,
as advocated by General Grant, would result
in great benefit to both countries. Mexico
from Honduras to Arizona, with it's diver
siied climate, is unlimited in it's capacity
for the production of what were once lux.
uries but are now necessities, coffee, sugar
tea, rice, cotton, flax and wool.
VALUE OF IMPORTS.
II is more particularly with reference to
the two first named that General Grant
speaks, comparing what is actually received
from tho slave-owning States Of Cuba and
Brazil by this free country: In 1873 We
imported from Brazil q 1854, 100 pounds
of coffee, valued at $35, 1867 ,992; and 7s,.
076,553 poundsof sugar, valued at SO, l65,,
3S4. From Cuba we received no less thar
1871, 065 pounds Of sugar, valued al
$4A702,3ll. Our exports in these conn.
tries reached: To Brasil, t8,6iO,646 te
Cuba, I'll ,365,0l3. Mexico took from u,
S5,8A3, 600, while we from il received: IL
sugar, S.1l4,7l5 pounds, value, $685. 98
coffee, 6.237 ,06S, value, $l,032, 272.
A reciprocity treaty with Mexico. Gen
eral Grant holds, would AZ naturally Increase
our trade in these two commodities rs i
has done in sugars with the Sandwich
Islands. which in 1877 sent W. 1908, 46s
