THE president has signed the acts pro-
viding for deductions from the tonnage Of
American vessels, relating to the registra-
tion of trademarks, to establish diplomatic

ACCORDING to the St. Louis Republican,
he intrinsic value of the bronze medals be-
slowed upon the Old Guard of BOG is about
thirteen cents apiece. They are made OF
some cheap composition, and enclosed in a
thin covering of bronze, on which the fig
urehead Of Grant and the other devices arc
stamped. Is this the reason Beaver does
not wear his medal when he appears in
public?
In Altoona the other night, Charles s.
Litchman, organizer -at-large Of the
Knights of Labor, declared. IF the report
he true that l have read, that one of the
political parties of your State relies for its
hope Of success upon its ability to purchase
the votes of workingmen, say it is 4
shame and disgrace upon every man who
thus sells his birthright.'' Since the ex.
posurc of his plot, Chairman Cooper is less
boastful of his success in getting 10000
Democratic workingmen to help elect
Beaver.

We reprint to-day from tho columns o.
tho New York Herald a resume of til,
political situation in this state that has :
timely interest and practical value. TIL,
plan of the Democratic campaign as indi
Gated by the chairman of the state com
mit:ee presents features that are sure K
win the hearty cooperation and approva
of party workers in every section
of the state, and and the active and aggres
sivc campaign forcshadowed in Mr.. Hen
sers utteracces to the reporter BODIES NJ
good I" the dcmOralized cohorts Of tn,
opposition. What is said about the Labor
vote and of COoper's insolent boast O.
manipulating it it to the:Democratic detri
ment fairly expresses the honest sentiment
of the party with regard to that important
element. Because tho workingmcn wer,
secretly betrayed four years ago 1t doe
not follow that with tho insult of til,
Cameron chairman still ringing in thei
ears they propose to allow themselves I.
i'e made u ratspaw in the present cam
Paigu. That powder is burnt, and til,

Ma. DANIEL WESTERCOTT, was so over
come by exasperatiou and the weight o
"blighted affection" that came crushing
down upon him in Philadelphia the otllc
night, when tho young woman he h:u
been sitting up with showed him al
engagement ring which au other admircl
had given her, that he straight-way wen
off aud took u big dose of laulanum will
tho avowcd purpose OF ending his life
Persons skilled in affairs of tho heart stat,
thero WAS nothing uncommon in this dcs-
practical standpoint there seem to hav,
been score Of better expedicnts by whicl
he might have sootl,cd his wounded
feelings and at the same time hav,
brought home to lis faitLless sweetheart
consciousness of tho turpitude of which
She had been guilty. In his present OK
hausted and Disguised condition moraliz-
ing on tho subject would probably prov,
distasteful to the wrctclled Westcrcott
but in case he should persist in hi
avowed determination to remove himsel
iro" this sphere of sin and sorrow, it is tx
be hoped hO may be brought to a proper
realization Of tho folly of such course
There arc as good fish in the sea, Daniel
as ever were caught, and if you will JUS
got Il bigger and a better ring and give il
to the girl who lives next door YOU will
live to learn the truth of hcmely maxim
that has q fit application to just such
case as yours.
