MAN meets with difficulties and
draw wbacks at every turn in life. No
amount of preparation for the great
battle of life will free him from the
danger of encountering difficult prob
lens. Take, for instance, the College
graduate. the man who has, in his own
estimation, acquired thorough educa-
ton, and he too frequently finds, in
his contact with the world, that in
crowding in an education he has
crowded out his common sense. Our
Colleges display too great a tendency
to impress upon the mind of the stu
dent that impudence is boldness, and
brass is ability. Some graduates soon
get over the effects of this teaching
some never recover from it.
The Alumni of Yale College held g
Thanksgiving Jubilee at Delmonico's
N. Y. One of their number, who is &
very funny fellow, made funny
speech, in which he said, among Other
funny things, that Archibald Forbes
the Great English War Correspondent
had been invited to deliver sermon
on the occasion, but declined on ac.
count of sickness. Then these funny
fellows printed a letter in the Herald
which letter purported to be from
Forbes, in which he denied having beer
invited, &C. Shortly afterwards Mr.
Forbes DID write a letter to the New
York daily papers, in which he badly
used up the funny men of Yale, wind
ing up his letter with the stunning
assertion that Bogus Letters seem tc
be product of your civilization!
The funny fellows will scarcely write
any more letters for the witty En-
glishman until the recent exploits Of
Barnum and Hewitt are forgotten.

A DEMOCRATIC newspaper will nev-
er own up to one of its own lies. The
Democratic liars who published the
Morey forgery now claim that they
were led to believe in its commences
from the fact that it was not prompt
ly denied by Garfield. This is as silly
lie as the letter itself. Gen. Gar
field promptly branded it. as forgery,
and every Democrat who published it
knew that he had done so. Any fur
ther lying by these fellows is useless.
Having placed themselves on level
with forgers and penitentiary birds, in
order to steal few votes from Gar
field, they should maintain modest
silence. Does any sane man believe
that the Democrat who was mean
enough to circulate that forgery would
hesitate to stuff ballot box, or do any
other mean act, in order to defeat the
will of the majority?

The State of Indiana contains some
very queer statesmen. Some OF the
Republican election managers made
very stupid blunders, which might
have furnished the Democracy grounds
for contesting the vote of the State,
had the vote been closer. In one Dis
trict the candidate for Elector first
chosen withdrew, yet his name was
placed upon the tally-sheet, and the
votes placed opposite his name, al
though they had been cast for another
man, thus making strange muddle.
