A Democratic Plan to Insure Success.
[From the Cleveland Leader.]


A gentleman of undoubted integrity, an
old resident of our city, whose word can
be relied upon, occupies a room in
Hardy's block, Euclid avenue, in the
rear part of the third story, overlooking
an open space between that building and
Bakers block, on Superior street. In
the rear part of the third floor of Baker
block is room where the Jefferson club
(the head Democratic organization of
Cleveland) is won't to hold it's secret
meetings. One evening this gentleman,
while going to his room, saw through a
window at the rear end of the hall the
room of the club Lit up, and the windows
open. Hearing some one speaking in a
loud voice, and knowing it to be occu-
pied by political gathering, he felt
justified in listening as far as he could
hear, and he heard the following: sYou
must take an inventory of all voters by
districting the city and county for
able voters. Select your man
whom you can trust to handle
money. Let him be instructed to pay as
high as So per head, but he must try and
get them for less than that sum. In
that manner, by buying few votes in
each of the cities and villages through
out the state, we can make dead sure
thing of carrying Ohio for Hancock. %
Some one thereupon cried out, "Where
is the money to come from?" The speaker
replied by saying that ''we have plenty
of money; that the south will furnish
most of the funds needed; that it can
afford to furnish all funds necessary to
gain control of the government; that
Virginia and South Carolina have sent
$500, 900; that the rest of the south has
given correspondingly to the Democratic
national committee. The other speak
ers then spoke, but in such low and in
distinct voices that our inform ant could
not hear them. The speaker he heard
was evidently on emissary of the national
or state central committee.

The Business Interest,

On Saturday last a Buffalo firm,
handling iron ore, telegraphed to the
owners OF a furnace at Erie, Pa, offer
ing thema cargo of ORE The reply was
''Erie, Pa, October 2-Want no more at
present. Must first elect Garfield.
"RAwLE, NOBLE, & CO..
The Buffalo Express, from which we
quote this, says that Rawle, Noble & Co.,
one OF the largest concerns in western
Pennsylvania, prefer to shut down their
furnace and await the result of this cleo
ton, rather than to continue in operation
and take chances on the uncertainty of
the value of their product if Hancock
should be elected This fact is themore
significant because Mr.. Noble has been
several times elected mayor of the
city OF Erie by the Democratic party,
OF which he has always been a
member. The Mr. Rawle of the
firm was formerly state treasurer of
Pennsylvania. Surely this feeling on
the part OF prominent business firm, OF
which at least one member is Demo
GRAFT, indicates the Importance which the
commercial interests are placing upon
the result of the forthcoming election
There is no ''political effect about this
1t was private business transaction by
intelligent men, dealing with interests
that require foresight and prudence fol

the subject of skeletons that brought
this boy back to my recollection. Be-
fore a long time had elapsed the village
smarties began to feel an uncomfortable
consciousness of not having made very
shining success out of their attempts on
the simpleton of 6 Old Shelby Ex-
periments grew scarce and chary. Now
the young doctor came to the rescue.
There was delight and applause when he
proposed to them the plan of frightening
Nicodemus to death, and explained how
he was going to do it. He had noble
new skeleton-the skeleton of the late
and only local celebrity, Jimmy Finn,
the village drunkard--a grisly piece of
property he had bought of Jimmy Finn
himself, at auction, for fifty dollars, I'M
der great competition, when Jimmy lay
very sick in the lanyard fortnight be-
fore his death. The fifty dollars had
gone promptly spent for whisky, andhad
considerably hurried up the change of
ownership in the skeleton. The doctor
would put Jimmy Firms skeleton in
Nicodemus' bed
This was done-about half-past ten in
the evening. About Nicodemus' usual
bedtime-midnigh village iokers
came creeping stealthily through the
jimpson weeds and sunfowers toward
the lonely frame den. They reached
the window and peeped in. There sat
the long-legged pauper on his bed in
very short shirt and nothing more. He
was dangling his legs contentedly back
and forth, and wheeling the music of
:" Camptown Races" out of paper
overlaid comb which he was pressing
against his mouth; by him lay new
jew's-harp, a new top, a solid india rub
Der ball, handful of painted marbles,
five pounds of " store" candy and
well-gnawed slab of gingerbread as big
and thick as a volume of sheet music.
He had sold the skeleton to a travelling
quack for three dollars, and was enjoy
ing the result.

Open Your Ewes.

If boys and girls will keep their eyes
and ears open they will be spared the
trouble and modification of asking
great many unnecessary questions. It
is right to ask questions for useful or
pleasant information, and all right-mind-
ed persons will take pleasure in answer
ing them, if asked in proper manner and
at proper time. But before boys and
girls have any right to ask question,
they should have done all In their power
to find the matter out for themselves.
Let them keep their eyes and ears open,
see what they can, hear what
they can, and think all they can; and
then, if not successful, they may ask
questions about it. This is goodrule:
Eyes and ears first, and then tongue, if
these fail.

How the Moors Eat

A Moorish breakfast consists of cas-
Ous-su-a cake of baked granules deity
made of -four, which eats crisp and
sweet-milk, butter, omelets, pigeons.
cooked in oil, sweet potatoes, force-meat
and sweet parts of honey, butter and
eggs. Tea, which is quite s"course''
meal, is taken seated cross-legged on soft
carpets spread On the floor around
handsome and costly tray with dwarf
feet raising it from the floor, furnished
with drinking glasses in place of China
cups. This formidable meal, which is
served by an upper-man servant, excites
the European visitors wonder and dis
named after it's shape, is filled with
green tea, sugar and water in such pro-
portions as to make thick, sweet syrup,
which is drunk without milk or cream.
Then follows an infusion of tea and
spearmint; yet another of tea and worm
wood; yet another of tea and lemon YER
bena; and yet another of tea with citron.
On great occasions sixth is added of tea
and ambergris. Nothing..is eaten The
"weed" usually follows, but the Moor,
though a smoker, is not an ''inveterate."
Dinner consists of various dishes
of mutton, fish and fowl, in
geniously and artistically served
in mixtures of pomades, soaps,
spices and cosmetics; so, at least. En-
glishmen declare who have had in cour-
tesy toswallow the preparations. Knives,
forks and spoons are dispensed with,
perhaps despised. Around acentral dish
gathers the company, as usual cross
legged on the floor. At In the name
of God, (which is the brief grace pro-
nounced by the master of the house, the
slave removes the cover from the bowl;
lifted hands are thrust into the smoking
dish and morsels of it's contents, deity
rolled into convenient forms, are tossed
dripping into the mouth, with neatness
and precision truly wonderful. Exact
portions are picked from fowl and fish
and mutton-chop bone without delay or
egort. Sharp nails are said to act as
knives. After the course water and nap
hns are brought round. The wash over,
another dish and another plunging of the
paws into the savory mess. Incense is
often burned during the dinner, which
fills the apartment with delicate aroma
When meal is served in the open court
the ladies Of the house are permitted to
gaze on their lords from the open bal
cony which usually surrounds it.

A SDider and Her Brood.
[From the Baltimore American. ]


They have In the sub-tfeasury, at the
custom house, a spider which is making
itself quite public character. Several
months ago it was caught from bunch
of bananas that had come from the West
Indies, and it is about the size of the
palm of a mans hand. It was captured
and put into cigar box with a glass top,
so that it's movements could be watched.
Shortly afterward another spider of the
same species was captured in the same
way, and placed in the box with the
other. They proved to be male and fe-
male-the first conner being the latter
gender. About three days after they
had been placed together during which
time they lived very amicab ly-the fe-
male suddenly turned in and killed and
ate up DR.. Tanner, as the male was
called because he never ate any
thing.) Whether DIR. Tanner proved
lasting antidote to hunger, or whether
remorse tortured the soul of the heart
less fair one, she has never eaten any
thing since, although six weeks have
elapsed. Prior to- that time she
would snag a honey bee placed
in the box with astonishing
facility, and flies stood poor
chance when they came within range of
her enormous antenne. One morning
about four weeks ago she was discovered
carrying around, clasped to her bosom,
a small white affair, looking like a
marshmallow drop, but which was really
made of fnely-woven web. This she
carried with her all the time, and would
fight like a tiger if anyone tried with a
stick to dispossess her of it. This small
sack she carried, and was very reticent
concerning it, until the other day-as
everyone was getting Disguised
swelled and burst, and about ten thous-
and tiny spiderlings swarmed from it's in
terror and roasted around ON the mater
nal back and legs. The doings of the
mother and family are now objects OF the
greatest interest to almost everyone in
the custom-house, and she will be kept
until she rears them.

Incident of the Rebellion
from the Californian

From the Californian.
A battery of the First artillery halted
one night during the Seven Days Fight,
in little clearing. The men lay down,
unhitched their horses, but leaving them
in harness. The first sergeant, now an
honored officer Of the Third artillery,
told me he got up and walked toward one
side of the clearing. He was halted and
turned back by sentinel. Going to-
ward the other side, he was again chal-
lenged.
"Who comes thar?"
The voice struck him. He replied

The answer came, "Seventh Alabama. -
What regiment is that on the other
side ?"
"Fifth Georgia" replied the sentinel
" What battery is that?"
Here was a situation. The sergeant
naturally didn't know the name of bat
terry in the rebel army. Hesitation would
have been fatal. By lucky inspiration
he replied, zone of Stuart's batteries, y
knowing that Jeb Stuart commanded

ADDRESS Of the I4adepen-

White, President.

Inere is danger lest the
election of Hancock
should be so interpreted
as to obscure the fact that
the war ended in a con-
quest, not a compromise.
We recognize the diem
ma in which the south is
placed by the introduce
ton of a new political ele-
ment, composed mainly
of the ignorant and indi-
gent, but we find in the
manner in which that di-
lemma has been met evil
dences Of the survival in
those communities which
still control the Demo-
cratic party of the ideas
and habits nourished by
slavery, in the just alb
horrence of which the Re
publican party had it's
birth and finds a necessity
for its continued exist
ence.

Beautiful eyes of gray,
