GARFIELD.

When stalwart saints with fright grew
dumb,
As Ames his fatal thrusts sent home,
who raised the book to kiss-his thumb
twas Garfield.
Who said, nay swore on sacred book,
Unbribed was he, tho bride he took
Who lied, who brazcn'd while he shook :
Why, Garfield.
In evil day when Force was lord,
And tools sought to shape the Fraud
Who stood so ready at the word
AS Garfield?
Swept on with Times remorseless flow,
Chained to their crime those names
shall go:
Wells, Chandler, Aliunde Joe
And Garfield.
An evil record unforgot,
From head to heel besmirch'd with blot,
And now candidate, heaven wot!
Yes, Garfield! ~
A word with you, the pestilent rout
OF lobbying thieves who scheme and
tout, tout
Frauds high and low: step down anu
.as With Garfield.

AN ILLUSTRATION OF GRATITUDE
The San Francisco News Letter tells
the following story: "A certain stock
broker in this town had a landlady,
a pleasant sort of woman, hut who
had an eye to the main chance. One
evening the good lady became lach-
rymose. "What ais You, Mrs. 81"
alphabetically asked the big heart

dame, "Im in heap of trouble. l

''if | bad $4,000 I'd be happy wom-

wanted TO make the old woman hap.

ted Virginia to the amount of twenty
shares, which gave profit Of $4,000,
which he instantly handed to Mrs.

was overjoyed. She wept on his

yer; she would have kissed him, but
he wouldn't let her. At last when
her transports had somewhat subsi-
ded, the instinct Of money making
beganto show itself, and sue reques-
ted the broker TO re inves' the whole
sum in her behalf. He demurred:
he objected; he begged her to be con.

He knew the uncertainty OF stocks;
but all in vain; Mammon reigned
trinmphaht in the old woman's
breast. She insisted; he yielded,
and lost half the investment. The
lady had $4,000 left, but was she sat
isaed2 MOI! She actually sued the
broker for the remainder.

BOWIE'S KNIFE.

In a story told by Durand in his
History Of the Philadelphia Stage
published in the Philadelphia San
day Dispatch some seventeen OF
eighteen years ago, he states that
the knife used by Edwin Forrest in
the character of Metamora was til,
original knife made by a country
blacksmith for Colonel Bowie and
relates this story respecting it: Very
many years ago Bowie owned a plan
talion at Bayou Terrcbonne. A
Spanish neighbor constantly annoy
ell the Colonel with petty insults
until ut last his conduct becamc 81
unbcarable that Bowie challenged
the halghty hidalgo.
The latter accepted and named:
knives as the weapons to DC used
and also stipulated that the combat.
ants were to be seated vis a-viis
astride of trestIe, as on horse,
the four legs of the treslle to be
buried about foot ia the earth, SO
that it could not by any possibilis,
be overturned. Each of the princi-
pals was permitted to use in the dn
ell whatever kind of knife lie might
select. Bowie had q short knife,
with broad blade, sharp. at the
point and with a razor's edge, made
for himself. When the comhatants
met on the ground named Bowie's
knife excited the ridicule of his ad
versary. The result, however, prov
ed the superiority of the wie.knife
to the long Spanish coutedu de Oh ..sse
used by his antagonist. The men
took their seats on the trestle, both
naked to the waist. At the agreed
upon signal the Spaniard drew back
his hand, armed with the long knife,
to make Iunge. Bowie, however,
thrust his knife straight forward in.
to the body Of his enemy and then,
drawing it quickly across, disem-
boweled the Spanaird almost in the
twinkling ofan eye. Bowie, Durand
says, presented the knife lie used In
the duel to Edwin Forrest during q
visit the great tragedienne made j
the colonel at his plantation.- New

POLITICS IN A BALL ROOM.

"Wel', said one of onr best young
men at a North Hill hop the other
evening, "you know bout this fellah

'Haw, no." interposed a third best
man, "taint that fellah. Cad, he's
dead, man; pom my soul he is"
swell, say" exclaimed the first
best young man, "when'd he dieY'
Cant say, IN sure" replied the
third best young man, who appeared
TO he young man, of broad informa-
lion on general topics, "but know
he's dead. THE Hancock's mill
tary man: colonel Of the army, and
governor of some island near New
York"
The other best young men gath
cred around him with a common ex.
preston Of the liveliest interest.
Finally one of them asked.
well, say! What's he want to run
for President for. if he's governor IF
an isiand?'' fs
Don't know" said the we'll in
formeh best Young man, "but guess
he has to. B'lieve after a fsllah's
been governor of an island for bout
so long as be has to retire, an if he
can't get to he president, he has to-
hasn't got nothing to do, you know,
l don't know just how it is.
"Well, say, who's this preacher
fellow, Garfield, that's rnnni.' the

first best young man, after an inlelli-
gent. pause.
"Don't know much bout him."
said the we'll informed young man;

"Talkiu' man or dancin' manp'
asked their best young man.
"Ohio man, / believe they call
him." said the well informed best
young man.
"What's that?" asked the other
best Young men in intelligent chorus.
''Pon my soul, don't know" re.
piled the we'll informed best Young
man, frankly. "Some kind Of a-er,
ah-er-kind Of a mani don't

And just then the band struck 10.
and the three best WALKERS in the
room ceased talking politics and
abandoned the profound study Of
statecraft to join the giddy mazes of
the dance. The glory of the lapd Of
freedom and the pride Of society is

THUS FAR FOWLE L~EADIyGi-Our
readers will probably not need to be remi0-
ded that III the approaching Democratic
State Convention the 81 counties Of the
State will be allowed one vote for every 100
Democratic votes cast in the last general
election. Thus Clay county which cast 81
votes for Vance will be entitled to 3 votes
III the convention, while Wake which cast
4l92 votes for Vance will have ~ votes in
convention. Taking, therefore, the couD-
ties which have already held meetings, We
count as follows For Gov. JARVIS
BERTHE II, Halifax 3 (one-sixth), Transy,-
yanla4, Henderson 7, Haywood 10. Total 81,
For JUDGE FoWLE:-Brunswick 10, Gran
vile "A, Halifax IA (hve-sixth), New Han
over Is, Pender u. Total Is.
Messrs Fowle and Carr seem to have the
advantage in the race from the fact that they
are popular in those counties which cast the
largest Democratic vote. Thus the dozen
counties Of Wake, Orange, Chatham, Per
son, Granville, Franklin, Johnston, Nash,
Wayne, Halifax, Cumberland, and New
Hanoyer-cast above 25O votes. Wherea.
the eighteen counties of Allegheny, Camden,
Chowan, Cherokee, Clay, Dare, Jones,
jackson, Henderson, Macon, Mitchell, Polk.
Swain, Pennsylvania, Iyrrell, Washington,
\ ancey, and Pasquotank, cast only l00
votes.
We give these estimates not to draw in
comparisons, but IN order to az
quaint our readers with the true state Of
the political canvas, SO far as we have been
able to ascertain. Next week We shall re
pert such changes and additions as may
have occurred.
