The discussions the blanders, and the
crimes of the Republicans are sufficient to
open wide the gates to power and let the
Democrats in, if only it shall fully appear
that the Democrats deserve to enter
The first requisite to success is that the
country should believe the Democracy to
be party of principle, and not merely of
expectancy, and the right way for the
Democracy ~ propagate such belief is
to be party Of principle.

ct is already pretty clear that the actual

The above is fair faInple of the way
the paper, which includes among its chat
ties southern outrage min, is accustomed
tosdeal with party politics. Because . man
who fepresentsa party OF. repudiation Is
bought by the Republican party, the anita
gonisnn to him by the Democrats is not on
account of an honest desire to maintain
the credit of the state, says that paper; in
the face of the fact, that the same party of
regulations was just as sharply antagon-
lied by the Democratic party before any
bargain was consummated, and while the
contest was simply a local contest and the
Republican had not as yet, by their own
action, raised it to the dignity Of national
one.
Must the inhabitants of the State of Vir-
ginia, who value their state credit as highly
as they do their private, give up their
opinions at the dictation Of the party,
whose administrations IN southern states
was so criminally wasteful and extravagant
as to make Reputation seem almost a
necessity? The south has every reason to
remain Democratic bitter experience has
taught her the crimes and thefts. the COM
mercial ruin and business disgrace, that
is entailed by Republican administration
within her borders: and yet for her to do
so is unhealthy; why is it not unhealthy
for New England to remain radical?

Johanna was bound for Java with oil.
The Canadian propeller Columbia, loaded

Shock.
from the Youths Companion.]


It will be remembered that when Pres
ident Garfield was shot, he Immediately
sank to the ground; his temperature de-
scended below the normal standard, and
the pallor of death settled on his fea-
lures.
Had this condition gone little further
the heart would have ceased its beating.
And vet we now know that no vital or
gan of the Presidents body was injured.
This was what is called shock.
It was not caused by fright, nor by
any effect on the feelings. 1t was pure
ly physical. It is often among the most
dangerous effects of accidents. Indeed,
many person has died Of an accidental
physical injury who would have fully re-
covered, could the body have rallied from
the shock.
Precisely wherein the shock consists it
is difficult to say. It seems to be some
what analogous 10 the effect of a blow
on the head, which instantly, and for a
time. arrests consciousness and the pow
er of motion.
Light depends on certain wave-like
movement in themolecules of air. Now
to touch a vibrating bell, or musical
string, at once arrests the sound.
So it is thought that all nervous action
depends on like undulation in the mole
cules of the nerve substance, and pow
erful disturbing cause, acting suddenly,
somehow arrests, partially or wholly,
these movements, back even to the nerve
centres.
Every case of shock involves danger
the danger that the vital organs, cut off
from the force that works them, may
cease to act. What is needed in such
cases is to stimulate the heart.

Political Notes.

On the 18th inst. the Maine Republicans
elected Ex-Gov. Dingley to fill the vacancy
caused by Mr.. Fryes election to the senate.
His vote shows a large republican gain over
last year. The democrats and greenbackers
had united in supporting Gilbert, green
hacker.
The above election adds another to the re-
publican members of the next house. Not
counting the four vacancies existing from New
York, the lower house Of the forty-seventh
Congress now stands IA republicans, 1873 dem
ocrats, greenbackers, 2 readjusters from Vir-
ginia and one independent representative
(Smith of Brooklyn making present men,
bership of 289 members. The elections for the
New York vacancies will be held in December.
Should the republicans elect three out of these
they will then have just the number of votes
required to organize the house It seems
to be generally conceded that the republicans
will elect successors to Miller and Lapham
The democrats will no doubt elect successor
to the late Fernando Wood, and they claim that
they will send q member to fill the seat vacated
by Minister Morton. Should they carry both
these districts, that will leave the republicans
with only 146 members, but it is claimed that
Smith, of Brooklyn, will vote for republican
organization and that would give them the adj
ditional vote necessary to make majority of
the whole house

FL Espiritu,

In the hill on cur trip in New Mexico
was the entrance to the cave of Espiritu.
Very few white people know of its ex-
istence and very few have entered its
forbidden portals, for in order to enter
one must crawl on all tours for some ten
feet and is shrouded in obscurity darker
than the shadows OF sin. Taking can
dies and great pine torches, we explored
this cavern, with it's various halls and
chambers, for some three hours. In
places on it's walls we noted Indian hero
glyph1cs, and in other places spots
where the clay had been taken out pos
sibly to make pottery. In one chamber,
tradition says, the savages held their re-
igious services. The stalactites were In
no place very brilliant. We were COM
PEELED to crawl in many places and marked
our way carefully, as Only one of the
party had ever been in before, and he
only once; SO we did not feel perfectly
safe, and were glad to get back to sun
light once more.
From the cave we returned to Dolan's
house, then taking our trout-lines we
went over to the Espiritu Santo Creek,
which here joins the Pecos River. Never
before did gaze upon such surprising
loneliness. Moss and ferns abounded
and the wild violet bloomed beneath our
feet. Lovely clematis trailed every
where; wild hops, with their long, light
cones, were clinging to the dainty
bushes; the wild cherry, with its deep
red clusters, relieved the eye and the
cedar spruce, sturdy oaks and swaying
willows all came within the radius of
our view, while the mountain stream was
foaming over it's rocky bed and dashing
fine spray which glistened in the sun
light.

Belief of the Egyptians.

A recent writer has attempted to
prove that there was nothing in the GUS
tom of embalming, OF in the ceremony of
Egyptian burial, to prove positively
their belief in immortality, but in the
ritual used at the burial ceremony some
what later there was much. In that
known as the Book of Respjrations we
have the following chant addressed to
the departed friend:
Thou dost enter the horizon with the
Sun,
Thy soul is received in the barque
with Osiris,
Thy soul is divinized in the Hall of
Sch,
Thou art justified forever and ever,
Thy individualityis permanent,
Thy body is durable,
Thy mummy doth terminate,
Thy body is rejuvenated,
Thy flesh is on thy bones,
Like to thy form ON earth,
y "Thou walkest, thou breath
est everywhere" Herodotus says:
''The Egyptians were the first to breach
the idea that the soul of man is immor-
tai"

washington Gossip.

Sergeant Mason has addressed an appeal to
the police in which he admits that In shooting
at Guiteau he did wrong, not because Of the
injury he intended to intiict on Guteau, but
because he had offended tee law of the land.
He is yet of the opinion that Guteau ought to
have been killed-in fact, that all assassins
and would-be assassins of the chief ruler of a
nation ought to be killed, and suggests rather
curious way of dispatching them. They should,
he thinks, be put .into ditch ten feet deep,
and all persons who hate assassins should be
permitted to throw mud on them, and when the
ditch is filed the place over the assassin's body
should be covered with birthstone, that no
grass might grow thereon. Sergeant Mason
does not want people to applaud his unsoldier-
like conduct, but at the same time it is evident
that he does not like the criticism Gen. Sher-
man passed thereon. He thinks, too, that it is
rather degrading to United States soldiers to
place them to guard the life of the worthless
scoundrel Guiteau.
The contributions for the erection of the
Garfield memorial church at Washington have
reached $3.50 1t is proposed to preserve in
the new structure the pew occupied for so
many years by the President, where Guiteau
first intended to kill him through the open win
dow.
On the 18th inst. DR.. French Lugenbeel,
brother of Mrs. Christiancy, sent a challenge to
the distinguished ex-senator to duel with pis-
tolls at any point within twenty miles Of Wash
ington. The ex-senator politely answered the
note, declining to settle existing differences in
such all unlawful manner. Lugenbeel will be
arrested.
The official report of the agricultural depart
ment gives poor outlook for corn and spring
wheat-especially the former, which is reported
at only about a half crop.
The civil authorities have taken no steps to
proceed against Sergeant Mason, who shot at
Guiteau. The military authorities have, there
fore, preferred charges and forwarded them to
Gen. Hancock. It is expected a courtmartal
will be summoned
