Charles b. Lore, Esq. for Congressman.

Charles H. Lore ESlss iOE 1ohSfSsaihisti'
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE The
lHo1Yistg Neios seems to be anxious that the
Democratic party shall put Charles b. Lore,
ESQ.,, against Washington Hastings IN the
Congressional contest But the 8eteS is not
half so anxious for Mr.. Lore's nomination us
the people are, as he has always identified
himself wherever the best interests Of the
people demanded his seryiees-eyer freely
given. As Acknowledgement there WAS never
any man who more faithfully performed the
duties of the office As a Congressional
candidate (whose election is certain) he will
drag the Hastings flag in the dust and com
pel n complete surrender-as General Wash
inpton did when he demanded the uncon
ditional surrender of Gornwallis atYorStown.
With Lore as our standard bearer, victory
is sure. DEMOCRAT.

The Treasury Investigation.

Ex-Custodian Pitney, of the treasury, has re-
viyed interest in the contingenI-fund investiga-
ton by adding something to his former
testimony, Pitney, says Washington tele-
gram, asked to be recalled, and when
he appeared he stated that he had been
informed that Upton and Lamphere bad
contradicted his testimony with regard to en-
ployes of the treasury having done work for
Secretary Sherman, for which they were paid
out of the contingent fund. He asked that that
portion of the testimony of Upton and LAM
phere referring to his evidence be read to him.
This was done it showed that Pitney had been
correctly informed. Upton and Lamphere had
contradicted him, and had testified positively
that no employe of the treasury had ever been
paid out of the contingent fund for work done
for Mr.. Sherman. Pitney then reaffirmed his
testimony that they had done such work, and
had been paid for it out of that fund, and said
he was prepared to prove it, and also to prove
that Secretary Sherman and Mrs. Sherman
knew that this work was SO paid for.
Senator Hale sprung to his feet, and, with
some show of Indignation, asked: How dare
you charge that Mrs. Sherman knew this?"
Pltney replied because received notes
from her asking me to send men to do certain
work on certain occasions, and have the notes
here now." He then produced certain notes
purporting to have been written by Mrs. Sher-
man, and requesting that workmen be sent to
the Secretary assistance Pltney added that he
had received notes of the same kind from Sec
rotary Sherman, and also produced them. Pit
ney then entered into details with regard to this
work, and maintained that he could prove BY
the looks and records of the treasury that the
work was paid for out of the contingent fund.
The committee finally decided to call Upton
and Lamphere and confront them with PItnev;
also to have the books and records of the CON
tlngent expenditures present for examination
in connection with the testimony.

He Wasn't Exactly in Riding Trim.
Little Rock Gazette.l

A countryman, riding one mule and
leading another, passed along road
leading into the city, and overlook a
gang of negroes, when the following
conversation took place between HIM
and one of the party:
'sBoss, femme ride dat mule?'
(Which mule?"

"All right, you may ride him; and if
you keep on quarter of a mile will
give you five dollars"
"Whoop, golly! He's q rid mule,

the ground. s'Gimme lift, one of you
niggers." A lift was given him, but as
his leg struck the mule she went out
from under him. eyer thinks yer's
smart, don't yer? Whoa, mule" The
mule was facing him and pulling on the
lines like observation-disclosures stur-
geon. "Here, niger, gimme annuder
lift. Hes rid mule, sure. This time
they threw him on top, and he locked
his legs. There was tussle. The mule
shufled, waltzed and cut the pigeon
wing. Finally she ended by jumping
up into the air and landing with all her
feet together. The darkey shot into the
air ten feet. and fell like a paralyzed
buzzard. As he raised himself up on
his elbow he remarked: II kin ride dat

Dead Stars.

Like the sands of the sea, the stars of
heaven, says Sir John Lubbock, have
ever been used as effective symbols of
number, and the improvements in our
methods of observation have added fresh
force to our original impressions. We
now know that our earth is but a frac-
ton of one out of at least rs, 900, COO
worlds. But this is not all. In addition
to the luminary heavenly bodies we can
not doubt that there are countless 9TH
ers, invisible to us from their greater
distance, smaller size, or feebler light;
indeed we know that there are many
dark bodies which now emit no light or
comparatively little Thus in the case
of Procyon, the existence of an invisible
body is proved by the movement of the
visible star. Again I may refer to the
curious phenomena presented by Algol, a
bright star in the head of Medusa. This
star shines without change for two days
and thirteen hours; then, in three hours
and half, dwindles from star of the
second to one of the fourth magnitude;
and then, In another three and half
hours, reassumes its original brilllancy.
These changes seem certainly to indicate
the presence of an Opaque body which
intercepts at regular intervals q part OF
the light emitted by Algol.
Thus the floor of heaven is not only
s'thick inlaid with the patines of bright
gold" but studded also with extinct
stars-once probably as brilliant as our
own sun. but now dead and cold, as
Helmholtz tells us that our sun itself
will be, some seventeen millions Of years
hence.
