In response to query by New York
HeraM reporter as to how he accounted
for the Republican victory in Indiana
Governor Foster, of Ohio, said:
''Oh, there was combination of things !;
but there was one that did perhaps, more
than anything else to bring it about There
are in Indiana about 10000 members of the
Campbellite Church. In this State they are
all Republicans. They have always been con-
sidered Democrats. They always stick
together, particularly when any of them are
candidates for public places, You remember
that it was the Complexities vote that elected
Bishop Governor in this State three years
ago. Well, then, when the Democrats COM
menced to abuse Garfield personally the
Church became stronger than the party, and
these men voted the Republican ticket to the
last man, and they will do it again in
November"
This is a brand new theory and one
quite encouraging to the Democrats, as it
gives strictly local cause for the result
in both Ohio and Indiana where the bulk
of this peculiar sect resides.

The Nation comprehends as clearly as
any one can the trick of raising the tariff
question. 1t says in speaking of the
progress of the campaign;
The Republicans started of in the
beginning with the "solid South" cry. but
without any 'outTages." Without "outrages,"
however, the solid South is little tire
some, and when the Maine election came it
was found that ii had lost its power to arouse
Northern voters. A prompt change of tactics
was then made, and the policy of ''scaring the
business men was adopted, by predicting the
probable course of the Democrats with regard
to the ''Southern claims and the tariff. The
Southern claims were disposed of by General
Hancock letter, and then there was nothing
for il but to bring the tariff to the forefront
of the battle, and this. we believe, has been
done somewhat effectively in Indiana and
Ohio, partly, if not mainly, owing to the
Democratic want OF preparation for this sort
OF assault.
1t would be impossible to frame more
cold blooded description of deliberately
fraudulent attempt to win votes without
any regard to principles, yet the Nation,
which sees so clearly through the trick,
does not describe it to rebuke it, but
merely to laugh at its success and jeer the
Democrats over their lack OF equal MIN
bleneas in securing seeming unity on
this question. s-..=..=

Shall the Sun he Eisenhower.

Apropos of the death of the French
lieadsmm curious article by Cam
lille Desmoulins on capital punish
ment has been unearthed. He advo-
Gates the selection from n.ong the
imprisoned murderers of the most le.
rocious OF their number to be en-
ploycd as hcadsnen, that an the
punishment of criminals these
wretches might always behold the
doom they had merited aud perhaps
were not to escape" 1t might be
urged that that these execuIioners
would bungle their work. Camille
proposed a plan (which should 10
welcomed by all gentle minds, and
which has already been proposed in
the National Assembly by a just and
mercifu man, DR.. Guillotin. En-
ploy purely mechanical instrument,
where there will be nothing 10 do but
to cut a rope and let an axe fall" But
Camille saw that it might be objected
TO that the opproDrlum of being an
execulioner will still rest upon the
man that held the SCISSORS, and made
provision for the objection thus:
"Placc an astronomical machine
upon the scallold, and at the hour OF

We read Of peculiar things happen
ing in life, and a wise man should be
surprised at nothing. In like man
ner comely and modest woman has
often fortune in her face il she knows
how beauty should become her. To
wit. During the troubles in the reign
of King Charles l. country girl
came up to London in search Of a place
as servant-maid; but not succeeding
she applied hcrselfto carrying out beer
from brewhouse, and was one of those
then called tub woman. The brewer,
observing well-looking girl in this
low occupation, took her into his fam
lily as a servant, and after q while, she
behaving with SO much prudence and
decorum, he married her; he died
when she was yet a young woman and
left her large fortune. The business
of the brewery was dropped and the
young woman was recommended to
Mr.. Hyde as a gentleman of skill in
the law to settle her affairs. Hyde,
who was afterward tie great Earl OF
Clarendon, finding the widows for
tune very considerable, married her.
Of this marriage there was no other
issue than a daughter, who was after
ward the wife OF James H and mother
OF Mary and Anne, queens of England.

What he Could d..


When shall VIC know that the enc
my has given in asked attior's
apprentice, who had run away from
his master aud entered the British ma.
w as a common boy abou; the year
1850.
When the flag is hauled down, an
swered the sailor addressed, the ship
will be ours.
Oh, if that's all, III see what can
do.
Now this tailor's boy, when lie
ran away from his master, Joined a
ship which had the good fortune a
few hours alter he entered the service
TO fall in with French squadron, and
a VAIN action, bravely fought, on
both sides, was maintained. After
fighting for short time, the boy was
impatient Tor the result, aud q idress-
cd the above question toa sailor. No
sooner had he been told that the with
drawal OF the flag from the enemy's
masthead wonld he the signal tina,
the action had been decided, than he
determined to see what he could do.
AT that instant the vessels were ell
gagged yard-arm TO yard-arm, and
were obscurcd in the smoke of the
guns. In an instant the boy mounted
the shrouds, passed from the yard OF
his own ship to that of the enemy,
assembled with agility TO the maintop-
gallant masthead, struck and carried
of the French flag unperceived, and
got back 10 the yard-arm OF his own
ship in safety. Before he could get
down to the deck, the British saw
that the flag had dis 'ppe red, M
shouted, Victory, ic.ory! The
French crew, seeing also that the flag
had gone, and thinking that it had
been struck by order 9th Admiral,
fled from their guns; and although
the offi'crs attempted to rally them,
the confusion was hopeless. Then
the British, awaiting themselves OF
the opportunity, boarded the French
vessel and captured it. In the midst
OF the excitement the new boy came
down from the shrouds with the
French flag wrapped around his body
and displayed it with no little glee TO
asionished tars. Fhe NEWS spread
quickly to the quarter deck, and tie
boy was led into the pres
ence of the Admiral, who promoted
him there and then as nidshipman;
and il was not long before PROMOTE
followed promotion; and The tailnr's
apprentice was known as one of Eng.
land'smosi gallant sailors.
