The American Share.

New York, 28.-HeTGId London,
July y: A number of Americans VINO
arrived here on the last trip Of the GGlfG
have started an admirable work in secur-
ing for America part Of the collection
always made on board Atlantic steamers.
The Rev. Dr. Newman, Of New York,
supported by Mr.. John Jay, Josiah
Fiske, DR.. Little, DR.. King, OF Wash
ington, and Mr.. Vaughan, Of New Or
leans, suggested to Captain Hainss that
whatever was collected should be divided
equally between Liverpool institutions
and the American society presided ever
by Mrs. President Garfield in aid Of the
national life saving stations on tie At
lanic Coast. Captain Hsines agreed to
the proposition, and G30 having been
collected, $50 were sent to Miss Morris,
of New York, for the American institu-
ton. The above named gentlemen sent
report to the Herald, trusting .ha; in
future similar course will be pursued
by other steamers. The fact that the
average collections msde on board and
hitherto given exclusively to Liverpool
institution have been only $40, gives q
reason for the belief that the adoption of
the reciprocity system will increase he
generosity of American travellers who
constitute large potion of the AtlSntic
passengers. MeSsrs Drexel s. Morgan
have consented to receive half Of these
future contributionsto for the benefit ofsea-
men and the shipwncked on the Ameri-
can side.

LUCK OF ONE DAYS FISHING.

One morning when spring was in her teens
A morn TO poet wishing,
All tinted in delicate pnks and green's.
Miss Bessie and I went fishing,
in my rough aud easy clothes,
with my face at the sunshine mercy
She with her hat tipped down to her nose
And her nose tipped--vice versa
with my rod my reel and hooks,
And hamper tor lunchng recesscs
She with the bait Other comely looks
And the seine of her golden trosses.
We vat down on the sunny dixie,
Where the white pond lilies tcetCr
And went fishing ike quaint old Ike,
And She like Simon Peter.
An the noon lay in the li2ht OF her eyes,
And drcamIy watched and waited
But the fish were cunning and would not rise
And the batter alone was balted
And when the time for departure came,
The hag was Hat as a founder,
But Bessie had nearly hooked her game

Columbus Republican James Hall,
a farmer, living on the line between
Bartholomew and Brown counties,
was in town to-day with his face in a
very unpleasant condition. He is
the owner of q dog which is apdicted
to the very wicked practice Of suck
ing eggs. James is of an inventive
turn of mind, and conceived a bril-
liant scheme fer curing the canine of
the fault. He took an egg, broke a
very small hole in the shell, and af-
ter extracting the innards, filled it
with gun-powder. Then he caught
the dog and holding his nose down to
the egg with one hand, he touched a
match to the charged hen-fru with
the other. It went OFF. The dog went
off, too. In fact, they all went off.
The dogs head was nearly blown to
pieces, and the boys face was badly
lacerated by the explosion and fear
fully burned by the powder. He will
try some other cure next time.

ROBERT T.. LEES DESCENT FROM
ROBERT BRUCE.

From the Historical Paper BY William Winston
f0ntGine
Recently, while collecting material
for writing biography of Major
General Alexander Spotswood, Gov
ernor Of Virginia from 1910 to 1923 !
discovered that through him Robert
L. Lee, of Virginia, was seventeenth
in direct descent from Robert Bruce,
of Scotland. Moreover, that of the
five heroes who particularly distin-
guished themselves on the glorious
field of Bannockburn, in driving back
the invader Of their beloved country,
Boe, through the same channel, was
the direct descendant of four, namely:
King Robert, Thomas Randolph, Earl
of Moray, Walter the high steward,
and Sir Robert de Keith, Great Maris-
chal of Scotland. These facts have
never been brought out in any of the
biographies of Lee. Indeed, until
now, they wete unknown to any Of
the descendants of Governor Spots
wood during the present century. !

grandmother, whose maiden name
was Martha cambridge, a great-grand-
daughter of Governor Spoiswood, on
the subject of the ancestry Of the
Spotswoods. She was quite antigua

ry tales of "the Knights of the Golden
Horseshoe their romantic ride over
the blue mountains Of Virginia down
to the cold waters of the silvery Shen-
andoah. The old lady, with pardon
able pride, used to tell us children, of
her ancestor, the Governor, being on
the staff of the Duke of Marlborough,
and Of his being wounded in the
breast at the battle of Blcnheim,
August IL, i1Ol; of the Governors
grandfather, Sir Robert Spotswood, of
whom the Earl of Clarendon SAYS
"The Scots put to death several per
sons of name who had followed the
Marquis (of Montrose) and had been
taken prisoners, among whom Sir
Robert Spotswood was one, u worthy,
honest, loyal gentleman, and as wise
a man rs that nation had at that time
(whom the King had made Secretary
of State of that Kingdom.)"

/ suggest, therefore, that whatever al
you may make in the working
charter, you style yourselves the '1ei-
fsrsonion Democratic Association OF
wheeling and give publicity as wide
as possible to the fact OF your forma:
ton. 1t is hoped that in time all Dem
ocrstic clubs will take this permanent
shape, and be linked together in fraternal
spirit Of effort"
We give from the Constitution OF the
Jefferson Associations the following ar
ticle declaringits objects:
ARTICLE
OBJECTS.
Its purpose shall be the association Oh
Jeffersonian Democrats Tor the preser,
walton of the constitution OF the Unlted
States, home rule, freedom OF elecuonsi
for resistance to revolutionary changes,
tending to consolidation or empire; 70
the election of any person 10 the fresl,
dency a third time; to the presence OF
troops at the polls; to the Appropriation
of public money for any purpose Out
the support OF government; to CONNER
cisI restrictions for the benefit oil the
few at the cost of the many; and to class
legislation, which destroys the natural
freedom OF trade, and despolls LABOR 10
build mp monopoly. To these ENDS we
invoke the spirit aud reassert the prln-
riples of Thomas Jefferson, the auther
Of the Declaration Of Independence ana
the founder of the Democratic party.
The exercises provided for the enter
tainment OF the Jefferson clubs are ex'
nre,sed in two sections OF Article 4 Of
the Constitution, as follows:
EXERCISES.
SscrIoS l, Two members shall be ap-
pointed by the President at each meet
Inc who shall respectively deliver an ad'
dress or read an essay upon some politl'
cal subject, not exceeding fifteen MIN
utes in length, ut the next meeting ioi-
lowing their appointment.
SEC, 9. At the conclusion oil TIE az,
dresses or essays, the subjects treated
sball be open to general discussion Tor
one hour. No member shall speak more
than once during the same discussion,
except by leave OF the Association, anu
not more than ten minutes at any one
tmr.
We have not space to refer further TO
the plan and operations of the Jefferson
associations, but regard them as well
worthy OF consideration by the local
Democracy in forming their organization
and it might be a good move ito invite
the Hon. CaAUNcEY +. BLACK, who Is
one of the most eloquent platform
speakers in the country, to come out to
Wheeling and make an address IN con-
nection with the organization.
Now that the Fair is over and the
Democracy will be relieved from the dis
traction which that has produced for the
past two weeks, it will be in orier to
resume discussion Of this subject
and it behooves the club to
take active and energetic measures to
put it in shape without delay. We re-
new the suggestion heretofore made,
that the most speedy plan for arriving
at definite and practical action would be
for the present Club to call meeting
and appoint the necessary committees
to present plans for the permanent or
ganization. When this is done it will
be only matter OF few weeks until
the details are all arranged.

The New YoIk SIM has been making
sore calculations over the vote in Ohio,
and fluids that the Republican gains
were the greatest where the Stslwsrt
sentiment is the strongest, and the fall
off the most. conspicuous where the
Half breeds thrive. 1t attributes Eos
rER's success to that interview between
ARTHUR and HALsTEAD, and observes:
Foster was in the attitude OF Blaine in
Maine, and alterward of CARTE in the
canvass of 1850, confronted with the
certainty Of defeat until Arthur and
Conkling, the great Stalwart leaders,
came to save him. The world knows
this, and perhaps Hslstead deserves the
thanks of the Stslwarts for being the
occasion of having the country once
more furnished with the proof that there
can be no Republican success under
Half-Breed leaders or Garfield Rspub-
licans." .-.

THERE is great trouble at Washington
over the Secretaryship Of the Senate. 1t
has been found that the election OF such
officer without further delay is abso-
lutely necessary, as there are certain
duties which cannot legally be PERFORM
ed by any other official. The Cemo-
Gratis are going to nave some more eau
cusing on the subject. The Repubh-
cans seem likely to bring up GoEHAN
again, and possibly under the pressure
of the caucus he may be put through,
but it is difficult TO see how some Of the
Republican Senators are going to vote
for GORHAM.

that efforts are now being made, with
