The Future Lady oIthc Uhite House
Mrs. Hancock the wife ofth Gener.
ais a few years his junior in age aud as
woman, Is as imposing in appear
ance as he is as a man. Tall aud well
proportionei, with n most winsom
smile, manner that puts you at your
ease ut once, and pair of eyes that
animate every line Of a handsome face,
she is still a beauty, although her hair
is becoming sprinkled with gray. She
was married when the General was
but a young Lieutenant, doing duty
in the far West. IL was entirely a
love-maich, aud neither of them has
ever regretted it. In fact, their home
is one OF the happiest imaginable.
Mrs. Hancock has always been oppos.
ed TO her husbands becoming a cand-
idaie for the Presidency and she is even
above the weakness of wishing to be
the mistress Of the White House. She
breads the worry Of the canvass, and if
her husband is elected she thinks that
the honor which the position brings
will be dearly purchased by the renun-
citation Of all domestic life for four
years to come, and Of his position Of
senior Major General and chances of
soon becoming chief of the army.
While she prefers her own home exis-
tence, however, there is no one better
qualified to play the hostess ON a
grand scale than she. A society belle,
even after her marriage, she has all
the self.conhdence and resources need
ed TO entertain the most varied com.
pany. There is nothing in the range
of conversation about which she does
not know something. Her greatest
claim, however, is-and it is the Gen
erals also-the art Of making every
individual atom feel as if he were the
one sole object Of her attentions. As
an officer Of the Governors Island gar
rison expresses it: "She is ilirt enough
10 make every one feel that he would
gladly die for her.

"a important DidereHce BcftreeH
UaneoeE aud garfield.

General Hancock is man of cor
rect, high and noble instincts. No.
body disputes that; nobody doubts 10.
No one impuios TO him a mean act
during his whole life. No stain Of
pccuniary corruption rests upon him;
nor any accusation Of conduct Of
doubtful integrity.
Such man in the White House
will naturally surround himself with
men Of like Instincts and Of similar
character. Gen. Hancock would new
er Knowingly appoint dishonest man
to Office; and If by mistake he should
appoint such man, he would be
prompt aud decided in reciifying the
mistake by an unceromonious removal
as soon ~ IL was discovered.
With Gen. Hancock President, the
country would enjoy that substantial,
practical, desirable reform in the civil
service which naturally comes from
having pure, robust, upright man,
intolcTant Of dishonesty and ncgli.
gence, at the head Of affairs. We
should have what is attainnble Of civ
Il service reform, in substance in
place Of 80 much sentimental tWaddlc,
without performance, on that subject,
as we have nov.
In these respects Gen. Garfield is
the very opposite Of Gen. Hancock.
His training is that OF the mere party
politician. BY instinct and habit he
is a demagogue. His strength con
sisis mainly in the adroit practice Of
the arts Of the partisan. For money
he betrayed his trust as a member of
the National Legislature; for office he
basely betrayed bis oonfdiug friend
in the Chicago Convention. lfeloct.
ed be would environ himself with low
aud venal characters like Richard
Harrington, who is one Of his promi.
nent and most ardent supporters.
With a man for President who has
once dishonombly put money in his
purse, what sort Of characters may we
expect to see in subordinate places!
Let the thoughtful, intelligent, con-
scientious. patriotic voters Of the Uni.
tel States consider these great differ.
enccs between Hancock and Garfield.

To this date eighteen cases of

as having occurred since Novembep.

tions had been given to report such'
cases as they occur. OF these, five
were committed by Fndians, one by
Mexican, one by an insane man,
three by colored men, two of wo-
men by their husbands, and Of the.
remainder some by parties unknown

That there has been no such
wanton disregard of duty oA the

well satisfied. A very littlc while

lashed into excitement by eansea
which | deem most imaginary, a
great confidence in the accuracy of
your own opinions, and an intoler-
ance of the opinions Of others, a
desire to punish the thoughts and
feelings OF those who differ from
you, and an impatience which mag,
mites the shortcomings of officials
who are perhaps AS earnest and
conscientious in the discharge of
their duties as yourself, and a most
unsonnd conclusion that while any
persons are to be found wanting in
affection or respect for government,
or yielding it obedience from

war, and not peace, is the status,

In morals, rs in politics, Mr..
Garfield must be considered pre-
tender. He assumes all the virtues
that he lacks, in order to accom-
plish the ends at which he aims,
lie was one of the visiting states
men, and his conduct then delight
ed the most of accomplished of tho
Louisiana intrigners. That he is
insinverc and false 10 his friends,
his conduct during the past two
months plainly indicates. He was
the trusted leader of John Sherman,
To Mr.. Sherman he owed a politi-
cal allegiance he had no right to
question. but there were rnmora
before the meeting of the Chicago
Convention, that he was willing 10
betray the man who trusted him.
His conduct at the Convention
confirmed what had only been eur
missed before. Had Mr.. Garfield
been out of the question entirely,
as was Roscoe Conkling, he could
SO have managed the Sherman
forces as to have secured the nomi=
nation fur his chief. That was not
possible for Blaine, but had not
Mr.. Sherman been betrayed by his
friends, had not the Ohio dciega-
ton been weakened by the in
huencc at work for Garfield, tho
nomination won!d quite likely have
been given ia Mr.. Sherman. Gar
field betrayed himself as well as
Mr.. Sherman in the speech he
made when he placed Mr.. Sherman
in nomination. 1t was not misun-
d,rstood by the Convention nor by
Mr. Shcrman's friends. Wash
bnrne's trcachory was no more
disastrous to Grant than was Gar
fields betrayal Of Sherman.
Considering these things and
many others which must be dis
oussed, the claim of Garfield to tho
support of those who wish a wise,
intelligent, upright administration
must tall to the ground. GarHeld's
character and his record alike for
bid any expectation of an oconomi-
cal and clean administration. Not
only will the interests of the pub
lie bo sacrificed to the party, but
the interest of the party will 10
sacrificed to rings, to cliqnes and to
personal aggrsndizement. Tho
people will put no visiting states
man in the presidential Office

Mark Twain made his initial political speech at
a Republican rally in Hartford on the evening of
Oct Goth. 1t had been announced that it would
be devoted to discussion of the tariff question
and he argued, in humorous vein, that Democrat
ic success would result in the adoption of the
Wood tariff bill, and consequently the North
would be relieved of the distressing nuisance of
factory smoke, This now troubles the entire
North. The speaker, hitting at Senator Eaton's
practice of literally quoting statistics said that
the statistics OF the navy department. showed that
if factory smoke could be done away with, there
would be a saving of 5000, 600 in wash bills The
statistics OF the interior department show that fac
tory smoke causes more profanity to the square
mile than any known agent except book agent
Inc statistics OF the department Of justice show
that. with the departure of factory smoke, factory
operatives and their families will have glorious
respite from labor and holiday with no work and
no wages then you can get man to do odd jobs

In an interesting article by Warren Upham in
the American Naturalist on the FORMATION of
Cape Cod, in which he shows that it is due to
glacial action, the author presents theory of the
causes of the changes in sea levels which is paus
BILE to say the least. We do not propose, however
to go into the question in detail But it will be of
interest to know perhaps that according to Mr.
Upham the sea stood fifty to two hundred feet
above its present height on the coast of New Hamp
shire and Maine before the glacial period, this be
