TIE Republican meeting at the Park on Wednesday night was attended by nearly all the representative business men of this city, and in point of intel
 hgence and personal appearance it could not be surpassed by a miscel
 laneous gathering of people anywhere. The most complete harmony prevailed throughout the deliberations of the meeting, and it was unanimously decided to hold the county convention on Wednesday, September 2Otb. Among the brief speeches made were excellent ones by Messrs. F. Nj. Smith, H. A. Bowen, Brewster Cameron and J. ". Davis of Florence. Judgr Smith threw fierce hot shot into the Demo cratic camp that would have done great execution bad there been any of the enemy within range. The quiet, earnest and determined spirit manifested dur ing the meeting bespe ks campaign that IS certain to lead mp to success.

WnPnS nF WISnOM

Mir. Blaine in his speech at Portland in Maine, few nights ago, in address ing the people concerning the curious combination of all the parties and fac tions which are now opposing the Re publican party in that State, made a graphic and forcible presentation of the character of the opposing parties. This he did in detail, and also Gn his own inimitable, terse, and pointed way expressed his thoughts in few brief sentences. We reproduce his summary of the two records:
 For twenty-one years past last March the destiny of the United States Of America, Tn so far as that destiny can be controlled by political party, has been in the keeping of the Republican party of the United States, and If there be greater chapter of history written in the annals of the human kind, ] would like for Gov. PlaIsted or any oth- CT gentleman supporting him to be kind enough to point 1t out. h there be any chapter of history Tn which hu- man progress has been so rapid, ID which human rights have been guaran- teed so firmly and enlarged so grandly as in that period, I am ignorant Of where to look for it or where to ind 1t.
 And now at the end of these twenty one years, ln this blessed 1882, We find an opposition made up of two or three parties. What do they propose to do? Nothing. The positive measures, the aggressive policy, the definition of the line and the metes and bounds of legis- lation have all been taken and prescrib- ed by the Republican party, and outside of it We have had objection, and csvil, and quibble, and islander, and all man ner of dishonorsble and mean critics following as camp-followers after a great procession that has gone ahead. But I challenge any man to show that in the whole of the twenty-one years the Democratic party, and its various side issues, like Greenbsck, and labor and other organizations, has ever proposed a measure that was able to be materi- slized in tle form of a bill or resolve of the Congress of the United States for the Rmeloration of any human woe, or for the advancement of any public yond

and his skill in the art of making up" and
dodglng his would-be captors was so con-
siderable that, for long time, he escaped
detection. At length clever detective was
put on his track, and first of all he began to
inquire about his associates. One of the
most intimate of them was, it appeared, a
certain young woman, and about her he
first OF all found out everything. He had
reasons to suspect that she was acquainted
with the fugitive's hiding place So the first
thing tabc done was to follow her one Sun
day afternoon, when she was free from her
employment. An innocent young detective,
III the Suise Of Il carpenter, was called OH to
watch, and endeavored. to strike up an
acquaintance, in which design he was not
very successful, though he ascertained that
Kingston was her destination that after
noon. TO Kingston he went, and traced
her to 4 house occupied by an old man,
about whom the neighbors knew no more
than that he was an old man. He was
an elderly invalid, never went to the door,
never went out, saw nobody and how was
ne to be caught and examined There is
nothing known about him to justify the
police in entering the house. and the detcc-
tive walked around the place, in company
with the carpenter wondering what to do
next. At the back Of the house was gar
den, in which was Il kennel containing n
big dog, or rather not containing him, for he
was lying out i'll the sun at the end of his
chain No sign Of life was visible in the
house. Jump over the fence and kick the
dog; then hide behind the summer house,
said the detccticc to the carpenter" In Il
moment the young man was over the fence,
and the dog was bowling from the effects of
4 kick in the ribs. Neighboring dogs joined
in the chorous, and ut the window appear

the dog continued to howl and incautious-
lythe owner came down the garden to sec
what was the matter. Beneath the we'll

Odd Ways of Making a Living

For that matter, though, there seems to
be money in all sorts of things in NcwY York.
There, for instance, is the second hand furni-
turc trade, which has grown to enormous
proportions, and is now one of the leading
lines Of business in the city Ii is hardly
worth while to mention the fashionable sec
ond-hand clothing trade which every
one knows everything about that is worth
knowing. Aside from these there are doz-
ems of different kinds of second hand busi-
ness going on all the time and generally at
a large profit to the dealers We have one
class oi men dealing in old lead another in
old iron, another in old brass, another in
old building material Of all sorts, another
in broken glass, and so on through a
long list of things that seem to have served
their only purpose and TO be no longer of
any use to any one. Gathering old rags and
old paper is. Of course, large business in
itself, and u profitable one, too. The latest
industry is that of collecting the small tin
cans that arc thrown out after their contents
of preserved fruit, meat or vegetables, as
the case may he. are used. The tin is
scarcely o, amy value but it pays to melt
down the cans for their solder, and this is
now done as Regularly az sending rags to 4
paper mill. Gathering up cigar stumps
around the hotels is an old business. The
chewed and nicotine-soaked ends are dried,
broken up and utilized either for filters in
making new cigars, or worked in with the
cheaper kind of smoking tobacco. There
arc thousands of men in New York who
make living by merely gathering up the
refuse of trade and of the household, and
putting it i'll shape to be utilized over again,
some of them not only making living, but
getting ahead of the world too.-N. Y Cor.
