party are immaculate saints, and the
prominent men on the other side are fools
or knaves-the Democrats are still i'll
the field, as they always have been and
are always likely to be, and the party Ill
opposition, which also will always exist,
are called by one of the old names of
their opponents. There has been indeed
change of issues, and what all this talk
about the late civil war, and reconstruc-
ton, and frecdmen's suffrage, and carpet
baggers, and solid South, and amend

not imagine.

A CURIOUS COMPARISON.

1t was u calm, still night, soft air
played caressingly with the rays over
the radiant brow of her lover. Her small
brother, meanwhile, just home for the
holidays. was accidentally wondering in
quest of bat in the ncighborhood,
when he heard the voice of his sister
and bctrothed. Prompted by the nat
ural curiosity of youth, he fingered to
listen. After few inarticulate muir
murs, he became conscious of sounds of
OSCILLATION, ana enjoyed his position OK
ccedingly. Later in tho evening he
met the pair at tea.
81 heard you kiss Fred" he abruptly
remarked to his sister.
"What do you mean, you rude boy7"
cried the sweet girl, turning scarlet.
"Oh, it's no use denying" replied the
brother; "you can't CANNON me. !
know the sound, you know. 1t was just
like COW pulling hor foot out of mud
hole"
This is an instance of a comparison
which was odious.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Mrs. Geo. NJ. Berger, ST., was made the
subject of a pleasant surprise last evening
the occasion being her 63d birthday.
BY an innocent deception she was induced
to visit a neighbor's to attend supposi-
tious carpet-rag party that did not come
off. During her absence the family had
not been idle, and on her return
home Mrs. Berger was astonished to
find her house illuminated and filled
with her sons, daughters, grand children,
and other relatives numbering score or
more, and table spread with all sorts of
good things. After congratulations had
been extended her she was presented with
an elegant frame containing likcncsses of
her six children. The party was a pleasant
surprise to Mrs. Berger, and was much
enjoyed by all in attendance.

Mr. c. W. Moulton, and the niece of Cen

Ex-senator STRANG told the state con-
vention that the delegates selected to
represent his district at Chicago hadn't
been recommended by the district, but as
they were acceptable to Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, he presumed that he shouldn't
complain about it.
Gov. SwAYNE and his wife, having agreed

The Republican senators arc generally
hostile to JOHN SHERMAN. The feeling
among them is that he has lost his head
since he decided to stand for the presiden-
tial nomination, and has fallen into the
same blunder that Mr.. Bristow did four
years ago when he tried to bring about his
nomination by manipulating federal offices
throughout the South. 1t is maintained
that in the long run Mr.. Sherman will lose
strength by this course, and fail to secure
the coveted prize because he estranges
himself from all the other candidates, and
is not in position to make combinations.

An Infamous Nomination.


1llCS.
The nomination of Mr.. A. G. Wells, son
of ]. Madison Wells. to the survcyorshiP
of the port of New Orleans, is an insult to
every instinct of public decency. He is
the present deputy surveyor, and his
brother, S. S. Wells, is another subordinate
in the Office. The father, one of the in
famous returning board of Louisiana, has
been the surveyor for term, and he now
demands the Office again from Hayes as
the unpaid balance of the price of his
fragrant frauds of 1876. The president
has been restrained from appointing the
father by the fear of public opinion; but
he has proposed to pay the debt demanded
by one of the chief criminals Of the land
by the appointment of the son.

Nine Merry Young People Run Over by

Nine Merry Young People Run Over by q
Catawissa Train
A terrible accident occurred at West Mil
ton last evening. AS the G:14 p. NJ, Cata-
wissa accommodation train going east was
about to cross Hoffman S crossing about one
hundred and fifty yards from the depot. it
ran into two horse sled, containing nine
young ladies and gentlemen. Miss Sue
Bonage, who sat on the front seat, was in
stantly killed. John Shedle was fatally
injured, his skull being fractured and left
arm broken. He is now insensible and there
are no hopes of his recovery. Thomas
Criswell sustains two severe flesh wounds
above the left eye and on the left arm.
The remaining six escaped unhurt. One
of the horses was also killed and the other
so badly hurt that he was shot. The young
folks were in the height of merriment, on
their way to the Sunday school teachers
institute, and heard no alarm whistle given
by the coming train. Whether the engineer
gave the proper signal is unknown. The
people living about there, however, say
no one heard any signal. 1t is hardly pos
sible, however, that some indication would
not be given when both crossing a promi-
nent country road and nearing station.

The pressure for an early convention III
Pennsylvania is to lead the way for Grant.
1t is arranged that when Cameron puts in
Pennsylvania. Conkling is to follow with
New York. The postotfice machine is be-
ing worked by General Tyner to bring In
diana next to the front, and Logan and
Washburne are competing for primacy in
the boom in Illinois. The calculation is
that with Pennsylvania, New York, In

been going about rs much like roaring

the Republicans of Pennsylvania to nomi-
