A dispatch received late last evening blunt
~ informs us "the republicans have abou

Mr.. Charndy, in his explorations in Mex.
leo, has unearthed buried houses whose age
is supposed to be at least a thousand years,
What is still more surprising than their age
is the fact that the houses are decidedly OF
Asiatic plan and appearance.
The republicans have detected Barnum's
tactics sjust in time" according to the DIS
patch in which they claim to have frustrated
democratic designs Oh the Buckeye State.
About a week from tomorrow they will be-
gin explaining how it was hat they made the
discovery ..just too late"
The ravages of the late famine in Ireland
are strikingly set forth in the statistics of the
Registrar-G Generals report. From this report
we learn that since the enumeration of 1879
there has been a decrease of l46, 1852 in the
horned cattle of Ireland 456,542 IN sheep
and 223, 139 in pigs. The live stock returns
the past Is years.
Mrs. Hancock occupies her whole time in
reading republican newspapers, because, as
she explains, 'she is anxious to find out what
her husband has been at for long years back"
Smart woman that. But what a delight to
The heart Of many a good wife would be a
presidential nomination conferred upon her
husband solely on account of the opportunity

Aslonal central committee. With what pride
iii We compare the magnificent strategy, the
Il onderful tactical ability of Barnum, with
lie snowy, frothy efiervescence of Jewell,
those egotism is SO great that, even were he
II assessed of ability, he could not observe the
3fcrecy indispensable in a campaign. This
4 ne the brains are on our side, and we can
\ ably understand the immense advantage
eady won for us by their employment. In

SiAccording to Chairman Jewell the fight
I'll hencsforsh be waged in New York,

10 a confession of weakness. The party
oh has nothing better to offer than the re-
Won of sectional hatred at home and inter-
