+ Coon ADVICE. 1T you have any money
to spend on newspapers, spend II on SOUND
Democratic papers already established In
the counties. Such Is the substance OF The
advice OF the Lynchburg Virginidn to the
Virginia State Central Committee. we
heartily approve this good advice. No
other papers can influence the whites west
OF the Blue Ridge Us can their county pa
pers. However, we let the Virqinidn
speak for itself:
"If the county committees will labor to
extend the circulation OF the Democratic
newspapers now published among non-sub-
scribers they will accomplish the same re-
suit and more electually. a strictly CAIN
paign paper deals with politics only, and
will not be read or appreciated as are those
differently made up, that publish news and
miscellaneous matter that commend them
TO the family. In fact, we have heard OF
instances in which the campaign paper,
sent gratuitously to those whose names
were furnished to the committee, was never
read or even opcned-some OF them not
even taken from the pcst-otiice. The coun-
ty paper or the city paper published in the
congressional district, containing the usual
compend Of news, market reports, &C.,
would more certainly be read, and thereby
some seed be sown that might accomplish
good.o

WALL Done PENNSYLVANIA.

| When we pcnned the article Wnicn ap-
pears elsewhere i'm this days issue OF the
| DISPATCH, exulting over the fact that the
Democratic State Convention OF Pennsyl-
vania had followed the lead OF Virginia,
and come out boldly for the entire aboli-
ton of the internal-revenue system, we
did not know that the same Convention
had also followed the lead Of OHIO and
Virginia in laying down the tariff plank OF
its platform. But so it is. Here is the
Pennsylvania plank:
"They 1the Democrats OF Pennsylvania
| believe in such taxation of the people as is
requisite for the necessities OF the Govern
ment, economically administered, and that
import duties should be so adjusted in
their application as to prevent unequal
burdens, encourage productive industries
at home, and afford just compensation to
labor, but not to create or foster monopo-
lies"
And here is the Ohio and Virginia reso-
luton:
awe favor tariff for revenue limited
| to the necessities of Government ecO-
nomically administered. and so adjusted in
| It's uDBHCdtiOH us W pitNcui uhcludi puh :
dens, encourage productive industries at
home, and afford just compensation to
labor, but not to create or foster monopo-
lies"
Admirable! The presage OF victory in
the United States. We said the other day
that JERRY BLACKS son, and, so we in
| ferred, JERRY BLACK himself, would haze
a finger in the pie OF preparing the Penn
sylvania platform. We omitted to men,
ton Mr.. RANDALL's name. This tariff
plank we suppose is his. whilst the one
denouncing railroad monopolies, &C., &C.,
we attribute to Judge BLACK. But let the
author be who he may, we cannot but az
plaud the political sagacity indicated in
pledging the Democracy OF Pennsylvania
TO the repeal Of all internal taxes and to
such a tariff as is described in the Ohio
and Virginia platforms.
The four States of New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, and Virginia will send one
fourth of the delegates to the next Demo
cratic National Convention. II, therefore,
New York shall follow the lead OF Penn
sylyania, Ohio, and Virginia on the tariff
question, the matter may be considered a
settled. Again: The New York Sun has
done good work in behalf OF the PROPOSE
ton to abolish the entire internal-revenuC
system. and we thus have reason to hope
that this plank of the Virginia and Penn.
/ sylvania platform will be acceptable to the
: New York Democrats.
The Virginia Democracy have, there
fore, every reason to expect national
triumph next year II they will only secure
local triumph this year. To rid Old Vir.
ginia and all the South Of the thousands Of
Republican Federal officials who have ever
since the close OF the war controlled The
negro voters and intimidated so many OF
" the white ones, is desideratum indeed
!, AS Father RITCHIE used to say, .9The
skies are bright and brightening.v

For ourselves, with the largest charity

yexed and most difficult question, they
must be intent on forcing an antagonism
which can only result in their own gTievous

A Voluntary somersnuIt While Fall.
detroit Post and Tribune


Saturday morning last man named
Martin, Of Grand Rapids, had a terrible
experience while engaged in repainting
the High-School building in this city. A
swinging staging was hoisted to the sill OF
one OF the thTd-story windows, and when
Martin STEPPED onto it from the window
one OF the workmen holding the rope let
go, allowing one end OF the staging to drop,
throwing Martin headforemost from the
same. When about halfway down he
turned complete somersault and struck
on his feet on the stone steps, bounding
from thence to the sidewalk. striking upon
MS head, but fortunately not crushing In
bis skull. Mr.. Martin showed rare pres
ence Of mind during the few seconds OF
mis- fearful plunge. He managed TO effect
the somersaut and thus avoided instan-
taneons death, and while descending he
recollected that one OF his limbs had been
broken previously and managed to strike
heavier upon his other. Taken oil in all,
II was indeed q miraculous escape from
death. Hf 49,

A FOX.Hunt.

Mr.. Mulkittrick, of the Queens Coun.
ty Hunt, was presented with splendid
hound and he determined to try it. He
purchased a fox and let it loose in the
woods. Then he mounted his horse,
''unleashed'' the hound. and started in
pursuit. The chase was a long one, and
it led him over the fields and far away.
He ruined field after field of cabbages,
potatoes, ard other garden stuffs,
doubled three or four times, and finally
came up in 81 farm-yard.
He saw the dog rush through, but
could see no fox. Finally the fox
darted into sight in close pursuit
of the dog, and a domestic cat was
chasing both. The dog rushed under
the farmers stoop, with the fox good
second and the cat third.
Just then the farmer came out with
a gun and blazed away under the stoop.
The three animals made break and
dashed into the hennery.
When the farmer and Mr.. Mulkittrick
arrived the dog, cat and fox were en-
gagged in tussle for the possession of a
sturdy old rooster. Mr. Mulkittrick
blazed away and shot three chickens
that were on the other side of the barn.
Then the farmer pulled and shot the
hound. Then the fox pulled and car
ried off the chickens and the cat. The
farmer was about to give the other bar.
rel to Mr.. MulkittricE, but he consent.
ed to swap off the horse for the absent
but not forgotten fowl, and he threw in
the dog to boot. AS the dog was too
dead to boot the farmer booted Mr..
Mulkittrick, and all hands went away
satisied.-N. y World.

Wholesome Advice.

President Porter, of Yale, recently
gave this sound and wholesome advice
to the students: Young men, you are
the architects of your own fortunes; rely
on your own strength of body and soul.
Take for your star self-reliance. In
scribe on your banner: Luck is fool,
Pluck is hero Don't take too much
advice. Keep at the helm and steer
your own ship, and remember that the
art of commanding is to take fair
share of the work. Think well of your
SELF Strike out. Assume your own
position. Put potatoes in a cart and 60
over rough road. and the small ones
90 to the bottom. Rise above the envi-
Gus and the jealous, fire above the mark
you intend to hit. Energy, invincible
determination. with right motive, are
the levers that move the world Don't
swear. Don't deceive. Don't read
novels. Don't marry till you can sup
port a wife. Be civil. Read the paper.
Advertise your business. Make money
and do good with it. Love your God
and fellow men. Love truth and vir-
tue. Love your country, and obey all
its laWS''
