out West got the manufacturing fever,
the citizens held a meeting to see what
inducements should be held out for cap

speaker said they could afford to donate

other said the town could add 500, 900

turn out and give 100 days. work on the
building. A fourth said he could prom

was in the house he heard the shIieks

door, found the little ofiesin the cruel
talons of a huge bird. which was slow

he that the bird would drop the little
one to the ground. But before the
eagle could get out of reach the farmer
sec,ired his gun and fired. = The bird

opening the box, found the bird still
alive. He was carefully nursed. and is
now as web as ever.-Deaver Tribune.

Singing Small.


At When the South Carolina Legislature
had completed itslgerrymander for Con-
gressiOnal elections, there was grand
Wagnerian concert of criticism from the
Northern Republican press; but we no.
stice that the chorus now sings small,
and the enthusiasm has evidently 'abated.
1t is not the custom of our Republican
contemporaries to let a good thing drop
when once they get it in working order,
and there must be some exceptional rea-
son in the present instance The rea-
SON is fully apparent in the revelation
that has heen made to the critics. that
the Notifications from which they hurled
their moral projectiles were made of
glass, and such exceedingly thin and
brittle glass that they have heard at
frequent intervals lately the. fearful
sound of shattered crystal. The Charles
ton Netos and Courier has gone into the
map business, and it is publishing an
illustrated serial upon the subject of
Republican gerrymandering, that is
very interesting and instructive Its
latest is q map of the Senatorial districts
of Connecticut, arranged in srch way,
that while the State is Democratic on a
popular vote, the Republicans feel rea-
sonably sure of getting over two-thirds
of the Senate We have seen that map
before in one or two Democratic papers
of Connecticut, but we have never seenit
in the Boston Adcertiser. though placed
side by side with the South Carolina Won
der, it would take the medal every time.
The Charleston paper does not claim that
au this iustifies gerrymandering in the
South, but says: "Our purpose in dis
PLAYING the gerrymandering feats Of the
Republicans is to remind those worthless
that they themselves are stepped to the
,lips in political sin, and that they are
che last persons on earth who should
cast q stone at the white people of South
Carolina. We mean that the public
here and everywhere else shall know
that the Republicans have. for years,
gone farsbeyond the poor efforts of the
South Carolina Democrats in the matter
sof ;gerrymandering. & II this has the
effect Of disgusting thepeopie with such
practices IN the North as Well as in the
South, we shall be. satisfied, and one of
othe objects isof the honest and WELL
sn,eaning gefrymandef in South Carolina
viii have been handsomely aceom-
eplished. An |" honest gerrymander"
NAV sound q little paradoxical, and so
FAR as we are. concerned. it seems a
rather .irreconcilable idea..oa But the
Ne,os and Costrser has made an honest
nresentation of the evil in its broader
relations. and we unite our hope with
that which It expresses, that the North
as wen as South may come to see the
un,airness Of this way of dividing States.
If orr theory OF government by the peo-
ME is correct then is the gerrymander
never r,stifable. If it is mistaken

Democratic and Republican Tendencies
igsa77 ,,ysgs,- E. COntrasted. ,.., .,,-,., ~

+ The two great parties which now ex-
list, the Republican and the Democratic,
represent more or less perfectly the two
great tendencies which have from the
first, with scarcely any. interruption,
contended for the mastery ever since
the Republic was formed. The Repub-
licans have become the legitimate heirs
OF the early Federalists,. 1t is. true that
they do not entertain all the tenets of
that party, and do not revive the meas
ures and the conflicts which in their day
the Federalists set on foot; but they
stand for the Federalist purpose of a
strong central Government, aiming
steadily to absorb or belittle the local or
State Governments They stand for
vast expenditures, for magnificence in
the National Administrations for pomp
and glory, as displayed in an immense
array of Office holders witha. costly and
infinitely ramified system of political
administrative functions. and for all
sorts of so called public improvements
at the expense of the National Treasury;
and they stand for taxing the people
roundiy to maintain this immense Fed
eral establishment and this system OF
superb OUTLAWS. Perhaps the most ex-
treme manifestation of this prevailing
direction of the Republican party was
the attempt to make General Grant
President for the third time. with all
that it implied. 1. 10. &c n. ~ ".
On the other hand, the Democrats
still represent that doctrine of strict con-
structionx of the Constitution, of local
self gov ernnent, of the restriction of
the Central power, Of the reduction of
the number of Federal office holders, of
the most. limited interference of the
National authority,s of economy, SIM
piicity, and purity in the conduct Of
public affairs; or. as President Lincoln
expressed it, of government of the zpeo-
Pile. by the people, and for the people,
with which the Democracy of Jefferson
and Madison originally came into being.
OF course. in this long period. and
through the mighty vicissitudes that
have been brought upon the Republic.
the Democracy of the present day is in
various respects inferior to the Democ-
racv of which Thomas jefferson was the
most distinguished advocate. Things
have changed. The civil war has passed
its red hot plow-shares over the minds
and the characters of the people. The
enormous expenditures Of the Federal
Administrations tho endless array of
saIaried Office holders, the loose prac-
tees and the usurping purposes OF, the
party in power. have done much to cor
rupta the citizens of this country; and
the, Democratic party, weakened and
perverted by its long exclusion from the
useful discipline of administration, has
suffered and been debased. But it still
represents the spirit and the impulse
with which it started out So long, then,
as the Democrats stand for these pri-
mary ideas. and for this smomentous
school of public policy. so long will all
men who adhere to that school adhere
to the Democracy. ~ r. Sun. - J

Gathered Home

Calvin Augustus, infant son of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. c. Newman, died Thursday at
the family residence on State street,
after painful and lingering illness,
aged five months and ten days The
funeral took place Friday afternoon at 4
O'Clock, Rev. j. F. Hendy of the Presby-
terrain church conducting the services,
which were impressive and beautiful.
For many days the little sufferer, who
will know no more pain forever, fingered
between life and death, and it was fond
ly hoped by those in whose hearts his
image was enshrlned, that the
tender assiduities of love, exercised for
his healing, might restore him to health
and spare his sweet young life to those
who loved him so well. But to Him,
who, when He was on earth, suffered
little children to come unto Him and
forbade them not, it seemed meet that
the feet which had never learned the
ways ofsin, should not be wounded by the
thOrns of earth, but should tread forever
more the path bordered by neYer-failing
flowers, which lead through green pas
lures and beside the still waters. And,
oh, if in the hour of his first steps to
Calvary; if here, mid WEAKNESS
and gathering woe, the heart of Christ
turned meltingly to babes and suck
lings, how will His love enfold them in
that far away city of which He is the
light, and to which the glory and honor
of the nations shall be brought.
Our darling is not dead; he is not gone to
dust;
No line of his loneliness shall fall
To fornless ruin smote by time and thrust
Into the solemn gulf that covers all.
lie cannot wholly perish, though the sod
Sink with its violets closer to his breast;
Though by the feet of generations trod.
The headstone crumbles from his place OF
rest.
The marvel Of his beauty cannot die,
Tho sweetness OF his presence shall not
fade;
Earth gave not all the glory of his eye;
Death may not keep what death has never
made
He is but gone-Sone from the dreary land.
Gone from the storms let loose on every
hill
Lured by the sweet persuasion Of q hand
Which leads him somewhere in the dist ance
still.

The Alhambra excursion on the Cot
tonwood river Thursday seems to have
been the event of the season, if we may
judge from the enthusiastic reports
which we receive of the trip from those
who accompanied the party. There
were at least twenty couples in the com
pany, and while the capacity of the
Forest Queen was pretty well tested, an
obliging disposition was manifested by
the young ladies and gentlemen on
board to make the most of the seating
accommodations of the little craft, and
no one that we have heard of complained
Of being crowded. The orchestra flood
ed the leafy solitudes along the shore
with enchanting melody, while ripples
of happy laughter from the ladies and
responsive cachinations from their es.
corts floated out on the clear night.
Soden, by some unaccountable means
became ratified while looking after some
little repairs about the engine and the
boat swinging around, he started with a
full head of steam up stream when
he supposed he was making straight for
the mill; and the young man who
furnishes the wind for the piccolo lost a
section of his lip, but barring these cas-
ualties, the excursion was, in the Ian
guage of one of the ladies, 'just too
awfullY sweet" and when the Alhambra
club takes another VOYAGE everyone who
went last night wants to go again.
