THOUGHT THEY WE'RE ANTELOPE

The Arkansaw COW is per haps the most
athletic animal of her spec les. She may
be reduced in flesh, but her horns are
always in flOurishing condition. She
seems to have been intended more for
the production of horn than milk.
Some time ago a party OF gentlemen
from new York came to this State for the
purpose of engaging in an extensive
deer hunt. They went out among the
hills and turned loose their hounds.
wild and exciting chase immediately be.
gan. The gentlemen were in luck; they
had not dared to wish for such easily ac-
quired sport. The deer fled along the
hillside, and strange to say, kept in the
paths. The excited dogs howled and
exerted every nerve, but they could moi
catch the wild antelope. Along toward
evening a farmer came upon the party
and angrily exclaimed:
I'm good mind to shoot you fellows
You amt got no sense"

FORAKER AND THE WOOL TARIFF.

In one his recent speeches Judge For
aker tried to make it appear that the De-
mOcratic members of Congress were re
spOnsible for the reduction of the tariff
on wool. The record of the vote shows
that just one Democratic Senator and
sixteen Democratic members of the
House voted for the reduction. Not a
single Democratic Congressman from
Ohio voted for the reduction. The reduc-
tiOn on wool was adopted without the
Democratic vote, and the Republicans
alone are responsible for it. The Judge
in the same speech says, I'VE have in
good faith declared that the tariff on
wool shall be restored" In good faith
That kind Of talk will not go down. The
Republican party reduced the tariff on
wool, and all the assertion it may make
that it favors the restoration of the act
of 1867 are made only to deceive the
wool growers of Ohio.-ChillicOth Ad-
Vertiser.

Breaks Up the Editor,
From the Erie Dlspatch.l
The Dispatch received a call yester-
day from Mr. II. b. Castle, the cOntrac-
tor and builder, and his son Morris Cas-
tie, bright little fellow of not quite five
summers. Perhaps it would be better
to say that it was call from the son,
accompanied by his father, etc, who
was in the city on business, for the
pretty five-year old chap was the real
visitor and will be the subject of the
following:
Little Morris Castle, aged not quite
five, is very remarkable child, as chill
dren average. He has never been to
school day, nor has he ever been taught
at home, and yet he Is better mathe-
matician than tWO-thirds the grown
people year out of school. Informed
of the nature of the visit, and the
pleasant little fellow, perched in the
largest editorial chair in the Office and
the editorial paste- brush to play with
borrowed from the editors desk the
Dispatch man asked Master Morris if he
could count a hundred.
"FOrwarGs or backWardsp" asked the
boy. looking up quickly.
"Either."
Morris chosed the latter and ratified off
the numerals from 100 to in better
time than his questioner could were he
to begin at one.
Twice sixtyP" asked the Dispatch
man, and Morris answered so quickly
that his father volunteered to select
problems equal to the boys ability.
How many feet in a milep" asked his
father.
$3.50" replied he, without the least
hesitation.
'"Twice 7709IP" was asked him.
"1.541%," he replied almost before the
question mad left the speakers lips.
Then followed questions and answers
involving both memory and calculation,
and within a reasonable range not a
problem puzzled the boy for an instant.
He would look UP with his pretty blue
eyes, move his lips slightly, as if calcu
lating to himself, and give out the an
swer i'll business-like way that was
simply astonishing. He told readily the
number of feet in a rod. hours in the
day, DAYS in the year, ounces in pound,
twice 4G0, three times u, and four times
81. He repeated the "three in the multi
plicatiOn table, and could have gone on
to the end for aught the Dispatch man
knows. Mr.. Castle said that no effort
whatever had been made to teach the
child, aud that no had obtained his
knowledge of mathematics by his own
exertiOns, and up to within a few

of his precOcity. The boy is not all
given to figures, for when the Dispatch
man asked what was the capital of
Pennsylvania" he instantly answered
columbus on the SciOtO." Then he
TecOllected he was not in Ohio, looked
up with an Interrogation point expires.
sion and said, Il guess it's Harrisburg
By this time the liJtle fellow was well
nigh tired out, and the Dispatch man
satisfied that he had entertained an EN-
bryO Artemus Martin, helped him down
out of the chair, called down the speak
ing tube for the office man to give him
picture card and cordially asked his
precOciOus caller to come again.

MR.TILDEN AND THE HANCOCK CAM
PAIGN.

The Hon. Vim. II. Barnum, Chairman
of the Democratic National Committee,
was met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel by
reporter of the Sun the other day.
RepOTteT-Have you seen publica-
tiOn by a man calling himself Judge
Birdsall of Connecticut, alleging that
Mr.. Tilden did not support Gen. Hancock
in 1880, and did not contribute any
thing to the Democratic National Com
mitteeP
Mr.. Barnum-I have beeu absent sew
eral days, and did not see the publica-
tiOn until my return. l have full per-
sOnal knowledge of the attitude of Mr..
Tildeu before and during the campaign
of 1880. | personally know facts which
show that Mr.. Tilden could have no mo-
tive of unfriendliness toward Gen. Han
cock. 1t was known to me long time
that MIR. Tilden would probably refuse
to be a candidate. Before the cOnven-
ton assembled had positive knowledge
he would not let his name go before the
convention, but was fully resolved to
consider his public career as terminated.
L have always believed that except for
his own withdrawal he would have been
nominated.
was so fully satisfied Mr.. Tllden
would not allow himself to be nOmina-
ted that 1 and the other friends dismiss
turned our attention to other persons.
Not only was Mr.. Tilden free from
any disappointment in not being nOmi-
mated himself, but he was consulted be-
fOrehand in respect to Gen. HancOck's 8
nomination. l telegraphed to him on
the subject, and he answered that the
choice of Hancock would be
agreeable to him. When the nOmlna-
tiOn was made L telegTaphed the fact to
andNunran pnnOFatn-
lating me upon the result.
Mr.. Tilden came down from the cOun-
try to preside at the great Hancock
meeting in the city of New York, i'll or
der to give the full weight of his infu-
ence to the starting of Gen. HancOck's
campaign. He was frequently resOrted
to by the National Committee and by
the State Committee, and on all 0eca-
siOns cordially cO-operated with them.
RepOrter-Mr. Birdsall makes the fol
lowing positive statement:
"That Mr.. Tilden did not contribute
$4,000 or any other sum, to the leglti-
mate objects of that campaign"
Mr.. BaTnum-That statement Is un'
qualifiedly false. Mr.. Tilden gave the
National Committee his check for $2o-
600. That check was made to the order
of the then acting treasurer of the COM
mittee, Hon. VIM. l.. Scott, and was by
him paid over to the treasurer, MIR. Chas
j. Canda. Mr.. Tilden stands credited
with that sum on the treasurer's books
Mr.. Tilden rendered most valuable
and important service to the National
committee during the whole campaign
No man was more earnest or willing
At times his help was very necessary
and we always had it.
RepOrter-Have you seen the state
ment that Mr.. Tilden had collected in
formation about the Star route frauds
prior to the assembling of the cOnYen
ton, and afterward suppressed that in
fOTmatiOnp
Mr.. Barnum-I do not believe there Ii
one word of truth in the story. dt
not believe Mr.. Tilden collected any in
formation on that subject, OF had an.
knowledge about the Star route frauds
which was not known to the public.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The worst men often give the best ad-
vice.
Our deeds are sometimes better than
our thOughts.-Bailey.
Thought is the motive power that
keeps the worlds progress moving
Hamilton.
We are too apt to measure mems great
ness by what they say, rather than by
what they do.
1t is no small fault to be bad, and
seem so; it is q greater fault to seem
good and not be sO.-Warwick.
Friendship closes its eyes rather than
see the moon eclipsed, while malice de-
MES that it is ever at the full.-Hall.
Brightness expresses of actions what
straightness does of lines; and there
can no more be two kinds of straight
lines than there can be two kinds OF
right. Herbert Spencer.
As in our lives, so in our studies, it il
most becoming and most wise so to tenn
per gravity with cheerfulness, that the
former may not Undue our minds with
melancholy, nor the latter degenerate
into ntiOusness.-Pliny.
The insOlent ciViIity of proud man
is, If possible, more shocking than his
rudeness could be; because he shows you
by his manner thaJ ne GnlnkS III mere
cOndescensiOn in him, and that hii
goodness alone bestOws upon you what
you have no pretense to claim.-Ches
| teTlield.
After all, the most natural beauty ii
the world is honesty and truth. For al
beauty is truth. True features maxi
the beauty Of face, and true proper
.tiOns the beauty of architecture, as trutl
measures that of harmony and music
In poetry, which is all fable, truth still
is the perfectiOn.-Shaftsbury.

The Grandson of "A King.
- The death of Gen. e. o. Ord has revived
the romance of his life, and stories of
the fact that he was a grandson of George
the Fourth and Mrs. Fitzherbert, to-
whom the King was married while
Prince of Wales, are being circulated
The story is familiar to many Of the
great stir raised in England over the
marriage until the legality of the cere-
mOny was proven beyond a doubt. The
son of this union, Gen. 0rd's father, was
given in charge of an officer in the Eng
lish army, Ord, by name, and from him
the babe received his name. Coming
over to this country the royal stranger
settled here, eventually marrying Miss
Cresap, Of Maryland, by whom he had
five sons, Pacificus, Edward o., Placid
US, Septimus and Lycurgus. BY liberal
donation from the British government,
these boys were reared and educated,
the family occupying modest frame
residence in this city, and the father
holding a minor Office in one of the de-
partments. Upon the latter's death,
which occurred in New Orleans, the
Consul from England was sent to that
city. the greatest amount of ceremony
