A Remarkable Revolution.

The success of the Literary Revo-
luton in producing Cyclop@dia,
the largest ever published in this
country, in large type, we'll printed
and bound, for the nominal cost of
SIS, seemed to the majority Of book
buyers, so remarkable, that the second
Literary Revolution, which reduces
the cost Of this most excellent work
to $40, seems almost incredible. The
facts of the case are, however, made
SO reasonable, that there can be nc
questioning them. We have in this
office some of the volumes which
demonstrate their superior character
in every way, aud the facts and
figures which are published in detail
in an other article elsewhere in this
paper, under the title of ga Second
Literary Revolution" show very
clearly, though very surprisingly, how
it is possible to make such an ex
tremely valuable and costly Cyclic.

The Radicals at Lynchburg.'
Tremend nous FizzIe.

The republican convention which
met in Lynchburg, Virginia, on the
1lth ofAugust was red-hot. The ex-
element was intense and the scenes
was ridiculous in the extreme. A
committee was appointed for the
purpose Of nominating ticket and
reported the same to the convention,
all of whom promptly declined to be-
come pail bearers in the inevitable
funeral that awaits them. This
somewhat disconnected the entltusi-
astic negro delegates who had come
to make nominations, and were not
disposed to give it up SO, and one of
them, rising his ebbony head above
the rest, very quantity said: "Mr.
Chairman, dar is a piece er poetry
which says: EFF you don't at first
succeed, try, try again" and the
homely aphorism was received with
cheers by the colored population, not
only as tribute to the sound doc
trine therein contained, but to the
learning of the delegate, who, pleased
at this commentator of his literary
acquisitions, went on: Gan de his
torian have tole us dat Stonewall
Jackson, when surrounded by de hot
test fires, stood like stone wall"
He was again greeted with applause
from the colorcd delegates. He then
nominated George Wilson, the col
ored chairman of the convention, for
Governor of Virginia, and Wilson,
not at all disturbed, put the question
and himself decided that he was
beaten by small majority.
The convention then decided not
to make any nominations, and the
whole thing collapsed amidst great
confusion.
The most conspicuous object in
the convention was the radical barrel
with one of Mahone's lieutenants at
the bung- hole.

Trying to Make Capital,

The radical newspapers are circu-
lating ridiculous story about an
Ohio man who, when he learned that
Garfield was shot, said abe hoped he
would die" Thereupon another Ohio
man by the name of Cook slapped
him In the mouth and was fined $32
for assault, aud then the Cincinnati
Commercial started a penny sub
scriPtion which, it is claimed, has re-
ceived 10000 contributions for Cook.
And out of this they are trying to
make some political capital for the
republican party. Now they should
remember that Garfield was shot by
a stalwart republican and that if his
death would be gratifying to any
body it would be to that faction of
the republican party which would
then get possession Of the government
patronage and offices. This being
the avowed purpose Cor which Gar
field was assassinated by Guitteau.
1t is q little the checklist thing out
to undertake thus to make capital
against the Democrats, who have had
no hand in it. Democrats regret the
disgrace brought upon the country
by the spoils of office party, who, for
the sake of office, procured the assas-
sination of the President.

ALMOST \ SvISDLE.-During the
recent exhibition Of John Robinson
show at this place, one of our most
worthy citizens came within hairs
breadth of being mado the victim Of
one Of the adroitest swindles that has
yet came within the observation Of
our people. On the morning of the
show a good looking stranger, well
dressed and apparently we'll meaning,
drove out to the yesilence Of Mr.. AL
fred Fleming, onc-half mile west of
town and presented himself as the
brother of Hon. j. B. jackson, Cover
nor of this State, and represented to
Mr. Fleming that he was well acquint-
ed with the Stevensons of Parkers-
burg, who are relatives of Mr. Elem
ing, and that being in Fairmont that
day, and comparative stranger, he
thought it courteous, as he had lei
sure hour, to call upon AIR. Fleming
and say to him that his relations at
Parkersburg WEIR well, aud perhaps
also TO deliver friendly message
from them. Such kind attentions
from Il relative of The chief magistrate
of our State, at once disarmed every
suspicion in the mind of Mr.. Fleming,
who received tile stranger cordially,
and asked many questions concern
ing his relatives at Parkersburg. TO
! these questions the stranger gave an
swers 50 satisfactory that event Mr..
Fleming could ever have doubted his
identity, he was then powerless to do
50, and OF once regarded him as the
common friend Of both families. At
q later hour the stranger proposed that
as it was show day and he seemed
disengaged they should go together to
the show. to which MIR. Fleming con
scnted, and was accordingly driven
to the grounds in the handsome car
riage of the pretended brother of our
governor, and by that atfable person
/ shown through the show, all of which
he no doubt enjoyed, with full conf
dence in the artlessness of his polite
attendant. But when the suave Wis
itof had worked up the confidence Of
his host to a sufficient pitch he began
his scheme. He represented to Mr.
Fleming there splendid opportunity
to make himself and Mr.. Fleming
large sums of money each, if he only
had some capital to begin on; thai
not expecting to meet such chance
