The Clean Newspaper.

There is d growing feeling in
every healthy community against
ournals that make it their special
object to minister to Il perverted
taste by seeking out and serving
up in seductive torn disgusting
and licentious revelations. There
is good reason to believe that the
clean newspaper is more highly
priced to day than four or five
years ago. 1t is also safe to pre-,
dict that rs people III all ranks of
life, who protect their own, at
least from contamination, become
more conscious from the penicious
influence of a certain class of
journals, called enterprising be-
cuuso they are ambitious to serve
up dirty scandals, they will be
careful to see that the journals
which they permit TO be road in
the family circle are Of the class
that neye: forget the proprieties of
life. Already men and women of
refinement and healthy morals
have had their attention called to
the pernicious influence Of bad
literature to DO published and sold
at popular prices. These efforts
are working to silent but sure rev
olution. The best authors are
more generally read to-day than
at any previous date. The sickly
sentimental story paper and the
wild ranger and pirate books are
slowly but surely yielding the field
to worthier claimants. To the
praise Of the decent newspaper it
has place in the family ami has
been read for years BY young as
well as old, it has developed such
q healthy tone aud such a dis
eliminating taste, that the liter
eratule of the slums has no ad-
mircrs. Fortunately the number
Of such families is increasing in
the land, and as they increase the
Journal that devotes itself to sick
ening revelations of immortality
Will be compelled to its supporters
solely among those classes who
practice and crime or are am
bilious to learn to follow such
ways.

Remarkable Ordeal Of a Horse.

Last Tuesday morning some boys at
Middletown told some men that they
had seen horse tied to freight train
which had just gone out, and that the
animal was running along and keeping
up with the cars. Investigation proved
the story to be true, and the hoof prints
were followed along the outside of the
ties until bridge was reached, when
the horse had evidently broke loose,
knowing that he could not run over
timbers. The horse was fastened to the
cars by rope about its neck. While
keeping up with the train it had
jumped over all the cattle guards in its
way, and when seven and one half sta
ton was reached had gone through the
narrow space between the cars and the
platform, not more than two and half
or three feet, without any apparent
difficulty. From the village to the point
at which the animal got loose is down
grade over which the trains generally
run at good speed and how the horse
could have kept up with the train over
the uneven road it had to travel is a
mystery. The horse was recovered and
found to be uninjured. Ithaca m ~.

But still, altho my eyes have OFT been Wet,

The Secret Service has recently re.
ceived a dollar which had. been neatly
scooped out in the center, leaving only
a thin plate on each side. The cavity
was filled with solder and the edges
bound with rim of silver which had
been skillfully milled in exact imitation
of the genuine work. The remarkable
feature about the coin was that the
weight and ring of the genuine coin
had been successfully initiated, and the
coin was only detected by the merest
accident. From the fact that the work
was of such pains-taking and accurate
character, and such small profit was
realized, it is believed that it was done
in China and sent over to this country.
Gold coins of the denomination of SO
and $50 have frequently been doctored
in this way.

Irresistibly Funny.


Nothing could be more irresistibly
funny than the pathetic despair with
which the Republicans appeal to the
Democrats not to make the Presidential
canvass campaign of calumny. Such
an appeal is sheer impudence, coming
from party which pursued Horace
Greeley, Salmon p. Chase and Charles
Sumner to their graves with fiendish
malignity.s The Republican party has
never hesitated to use the most brutal
weapons of political warfare; and this
hypocriticaf plea for decency results
from the fact that General Garfield's
civilrecord is marred by some very ugly
stains, while General Hancock sreputa-
ton is as white as the driven snow. If
mud-throwing should be practiced, the
Democrats would have monopoly of
the mud, and the Republicans know it
only too well. Hence those tears.
Moreover, it must not be forgotten
that the Democrats are now merely call
ing attention to the merciless peltiDg
which General Garfield underwent at
the handsof his own party, before he was
dreamed of as a Presidential candidate.
The leading Republican journals, nOta-
bly, the New YORK 1in,es, most severely
denounces General Garfield for his con-
nection with Credit Mobilier. On Sep
TENDER Z. 1876. there was large
meeting of the Republican voters of
General .Gar6eld's Congressional Dis
FtHcb. a long series OF resolutions was
adopted. from which we quote the fol-
lowing:
T. Resolved, That there is no man to-day
officially connected with the Administration
of our National Government against whom
are Justly preferred more and graver charges
of corruption than are publicly made and
abundantly sustained against James A. Gar

publican Convention for reelection.

A Republican Lie.

For the past two weeks, the Repub-

legged report of Senator Hampton's
speech at Staunton, Va, July 26, in
which the following occurs:

were they alive. These are the same prin-
member the men who poured forth their life

them now. Remember that upon your vote

This has been printed in every Re-
publican paper, has been put in big
type at the head of their editorial
columns. and has been printed in huge
posters for country circulation. We
have the authority of Senator Hampton
for the declaration that he said nothing
of the kind. 1t is a malicious, mean
lie, made from whole cloth and put in
circulation with full knowledge that it
was dirty falsehood. The Repub-
lican managers have started out with
determination to make the campaign
on villainous. calumnies. They have
hired and are paying experts to con-
duct and utter lies in their interest.
They pay no heed to exposures of their
villainies. Their organs persist in ut

times; nor viii they copy this authori-
