We asserted early in the year that
Tammany had never brought aught
else than disgrace upon the Democrat
ic p, rty, aud that Tilden and defeat
without Kelly would be preferable to
victory with any other standard-bear-
er, selected Try reason of Tammany's
opposition to the old ticket. The re-
suit Of the recent election was even
more lamentable than could have re-
suited with the opposition of the New
York mulcontents. A good man has
been sacrificed, the party defeated, and
Kelly will four years hence again loom
up as Dictator to the Democracy of the
whole Union. The latter is by far the
worst aspect in the case.
Here is an extract from the De Soto
Messenger. the one Radical Green
back paper Of Southeast Missouri:
IL 1876 the Democrats bf Missouri polled

poll only 1857, although the total vote Of
the State has Increased to 3S2. a loss of s.
SOD votes, while the total vote of the State has
increased 3, 96T vo'R Four years ago they
had a majority over all others of 5457O, This
year their maj ,ity over all is only IL, 5S3. If
there Is any consolation in these figures to
Democrats they are welcome to it,
Here are the true figures: Hancock,
208, $50; Garfield, l55 ,5S7, Weaver, 3d.
1876. Hancock's plurality is 1892;
majority over all, 1857. Instead of
polling $500 votes less than in 1876,
the Democrats this year increase their
vote 5,5l2. Give truthful figures,
neigh Dor, and they won't lie.

Death of Ex-secretary Borie.

Hon. Adolph E. Borie, ex-Secretary of
the Navy, died at his home in Philadel-
phia, on Thursday. He was of French
extraction, born in Philadelphia in 1909 ;
was literally educated at the University
of Pennsylvania and in Paris, but turn
ed his attention to foreign commerce, in
which he accumulated large fortune
in 1852, was one of the founders of the
celebrated Union League in his native
tive city, and became conspicuous for
his generous and ardent support of the
Federal cause throughout the war. He
came in with President Grant in March,
1869, as Secretary of the Navy, but
served only until the fall of that year,
when he retired, and was succeeded by
Mr.. Robson. Gen. Grant remained cor
daily attached to him, and, upon the
Generals invitation, he was one of his
travelling companions during many
months of his late tour around
the world. Mr.. Borie was unable, how
ever, at his advanced age, to complete
the trip with the party, and left it some
weeks in advance of its return to this
country, reaching his home only to die
few months thereafter.

Dissatisfaction in New York.

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. 5-The result of
the Pennsylvania Convention is COM
mented on by Republicans here with
some degree of caution. Outspoken
Grant men approve of it, and are in fa-
vor of the N.York Convention following
the example. They say that the action
of the Harrisburgh Convention shows
that Pennsylvania is for Grant, and that
he will, if nominated, carry that State
with ease. More conservative Republi-
cans are reluctant to to criticise the re-
suit of the Convention. Blaine men
predict tronble in the New York Con-
vention if the attempt is persisted in
to instruct the delegation for Grant. A
prominent member of the Assembly said
this afternoon that the State COnven-
ton has no right to instruct a delegation
made up by districts and that if the Penn
sylvania delegates were selected by dis
tricts, as reported by telegraph this
morning, it was unwarrantable AFRO
gance on the part of the Convention to
impose restrictions upon the free accion
of the delegates at Chicago. A Repub-
lican Senator said that if he had been a
member of the Pennsylvania Conven-
tion he would have fought to the last
against the attempt to force vote on
the question of instructing the delega-
ton.
"If," said he, delegates from my dis
trict to the State Convention should Sc
lect me as their delegate to the Nation
al Convention, 1 would like to see any
Convention or any body of men under
take to tell me what to do" He decla-
red his intention to go to Utica as del
egote, or to have some one there from
his district who wo'd fight the Pennsylva-
MIA precedent to the bitter end. He
said he might be for Grant. or he might

Was Blaine Sold Ouie

WASHINGTON, February 5.-Blaine's
friends claims that they were "sold out"
at Harrisburg or they would have pre-
vented an Endorsement of Grant, and
Congressman Bingham, of Philadelphia,
is charged with having done it. Bingham
represented himself as being the spokes-
man of Senator Blaine, and as having
enjoyed considerable intimacy with
Blaine, and. having been outspoken in
his favor, the delegates accepted, as is
alleged, his leadership. Bingham told
everybody that Blaine did not want a
fight, that he was Cameron's second
choice, that Grant would be withdrawn,
and Blaine would get the Pennsylvania
delegation if they did not make Cameron
mad by opposing him. This was said by
him in private conversation, in caucus,
and in open Convention, whereas Mr..
Blaine says that Bingham not only had
no authority to speak for him in that
manner, but misrepresented him. Blaine
says he was for fight; that he believes
his friends could have carried the Con-
vcntion had they shown the backbone,
and he would like nothing better than
to beat Cameron on his own ground.
Congressman Frye says there were
nine delegates who voted for Grant who
would have voted against Lin had they
not supposed it would make no differ
ence to Blaine and would oblige Cam
erOn.
There is a great deal of similar talk
on the Blaine side, which shows they
are getting all possible comfort out of
their defeat. Mr.. Blaine says very frank
ly that he would like the Pennsylvania
delegation, and believes he would have
them if the popular feeling in the State
was given its will. On the other hand,
the Grant men say that Blaine never
could have carried the convention, and
Bingham did the wisest thing that could
be done by establishing and maintaining
cordial relations between the two fac
tiOns.

OF Ben Wade and Secretary Stanton
General Brisbin tells picturesque sto-
ry. Wade one day asked for the promo
tion of a military friend, and when
Stanton refused proceeded to discuss 1t
with much stamping of feet, fiourishing
of his cane, and angry expostulation.
Stanton sat quietly, and at last Wade
roared out, "You will do this thing for
me, Mr.. Secretary?" 81 will not" "curtly
responded Stanton. Il say you will"
again roared Ben, striking the lounge
with his cane. "And l say won't" re-
piled Stanton. The two men stood facing
and looking at each other for full five
seconds, and then Wade began in voice
trembling with rage: "It's all very well
for you, Stanton, to treat me this way
now, but remember when you hadn't a
leg to stand on and / stood for you"
Mr.. Stanton's hard face relaxed, and he
said quite mildly, Every well, Mr.. Wade,
if that is the way you put it l suppose 1
shall have to give you what you want. I"
''Thank you, sir" replied Wade, and
without uttering another word he turn
ed and walked to the door. AS he was
going along the hall of the War Depart
ment, mopping the sweat from his face,
Wade said: did you ever see man
with such temper as that man has P"
Il could not help smiling" says the Gen.
eral, "and the Senator, without seeming
to think he had in the least exhibited
any temper, went on to say, L think
Stanton is the most ill-natured man l
have ever met This was too much and
laughed outright. what the devil are
you laughing at, sir?' tartly inquired
Wade. Il was thinking, Mr.. Senator, you
showed little temper YOURSELF Did I?
did L? Well, 1 expect 1 did, he said,
and then he commenced laughing, and
laughed until the walls of the War De-
partment rang"

The Probable Cradle Of Our
Race.

The most probable conjecture has fixed
the cradle of our race in that corner of
land which lies westward of the steep
range of the BeloOt Tagh Mountains, an
off-shoot of the Himalayas, and north
ward from the high barren land of
Kabul. This country, the ancient Bac-
trlana, Is the most habitable district to
be found anywhere in Central Asia.
There the hills stretch out IN gentle
slopes toward the west, and inclose fer
tile valleys, whose innumerable streams
fed by the mountains east and south, all
go to swell the water of 0xus, now called
the Jlhon. Further north lies another
fruitful country, watered by the Jaxa-
ries, separated from the first by a range
hills much inferior to those which di-
vide both lands from Yarkand and
Kashgar on the east, and from Kabul on
the south. Both the great rivers empty
themselves into the Sea of Aral between
which and the Caspian, sharply cutting
off the fertile country from that sea,
stretches the Khiva desert, barren land
affording scanty nourishment to the
herds of wandering Turkish tribes.
There is good reason to believe, however.
that this desert did not always exist, but
that in times not extraordinary remote.
the Caspian Sea, joined the Sea of AraI,
extended over much larger area than
it at present covers; it is known even
now to be sinking steadily within its
banks. With such contraction of the
great sea the desert would grow by
double process, by the laying bare its
sandy bed, and by the withdrawal of
neighboring supply of moisture from the
dry land. So it may well have been that
the fruitful territory wherein remotest
ages were settled our Aryan ancestors
stretched SO far west as to border upon
a large inland Asiatic sea. 1t has even
been conjectured that the turning of so
much fertile land into desert was the
proximate cause of the migfations which
sent the greater part of the Aryan races
westward-to people at least, all the
countries of Europe. The root which is
common to the European language for
the names of the sei, means, in the In
dian and Iranian languages. a desert;
how can we account for this fact better
than by supposing that after the Euro
pean nations had left their early homes,
their brethren, who remained behind and
who long afterward separated into the
peoples of India and Persia, came to
know as desert the district which their
fathers had once known as the sea-
