brilliant with color. Cards come more beau
tiful and in greater variety than ever, this
season, il possible. Among the numberless
designs are many that are quite unique and

supports herself with one hand clasped over

front is seen . heart shaped cover on which
sports . gleeful cupid. Beneath the cover
are series of leaves, as in q book, bearing q
choice selection Of poetry for every day in the
year, each from one Of our best
authors. A very pretty little card shows

landscape where winter reigns, making quite
striking contrast Something new is a

Grand Electric Display.

CHILLICOTHE, Mo-, July 21.-The
electric exhibition Wednesday night
was the grandest and most powerful
ever seen i'll this part of Missouri. The
display began before eleven o'clock in
the evening, and continued until after
three o'clock Thursday morning, with
an almost inceasing roar. The great
attraction, however, was the approach
OF solid mass of clouds from the
southwest blazing like wall of fire,
and the CONSERVATION and terror of
those who witnessed it can only be
imagined. When the cloud had reach
ed an elevation of As degrees it explod-
ed with dull, heavy report, pro, ,iucing
a conclusion greater than the discharge
of the heaviest ordnance, scattering
fragments of the cloud in thousand
directions. Many buildings rocked as
if shaken by an earthquake, displacing
pictures and mantel ornaments and in
some instances Overturning and break
ing china and glassware. Succeeding
this spiritual electric seance slight
lull was followed by the massing of
these powers i'll the north, south and
west, and uniting i'll the zenith, at two
O'Clock Thursday morning, apparently
held our citizens crOuched beneath
this frey ordeal until nearly daylight,
when the sky cleared and all was So
rene and quiet. During the storm
many families in the country left their
houses and sought refuge and safety in
cellars and caves belonging to neigh
bors. Two barns were burned and a
number OF cattle killed in the country.

Gov. BUTLER, in his address before
the Jeffersonian Association Of New
York, gave utterance to the following
facts concerning Thomas Jefferson and
the lessons of the examples set by him
for the preservation of this Republic,
which every intelligent man should
read and consider:
ITO no man does this country owe
so much as to Jefferson. But for him
our form of government would have
descended into a government of few,
which is worse than an actual despO-
tism, for in that the people have only
to contend with the vice, ignorance
and extravaganza Of one tyrant, in a
government, of the few the people have
many tyrants to contend against, until
they become an intolerable burden,
only to be removed through such a
'emendous upheaval as was theFle .ch
revolution. From this Jefferson's ex
ample and teachings have thus far pre-
served US II the country wanders
much farther away from Jeffarson's
doctrines and the burdens of monopO-
lies and special privileges increase
munh more, despetism must be the
result, if the people are not obliged to
appeal to other means. 1t seems to
me that it is the part of true states
nanship to so change the present sys-
tenn of the conduct of affairs as to avoid
these evils"

THE New York Sun of the 10Th
Inst. devotes nearly seven columns to
what it terms can Abstract of the
Budget of Stephen w. Dorsey" It
gives the whole historyof the Garfield
campaign and how the,election OF 1880
was carried. In all 5000 coo were
raised by the wealthy melof New
York. $432, 900 was sxpendded to carry
the October election in Indiana, and
Jay Gould and another man gave $l50-
600 in consideration of the agreement
to appoint Judge of the Supreme
Court favorable to the Railroad inter-
ests. The budget is said to have
been made up from memoranda in
possessions of s. w. Dorsey, late Sec
retary of the Republican National
Committee, and general manager of
that party inthe carrying of Indiana
in 1880. - =.
This. has set the Republican editors
and managers to hOwling and gnash-
ing of teeth at Dana and Dorsey, whom
they charge with desire to tear open
the grave Of the martyred President.
1t was ever thus. Whenever an at
tempt is made to show up the methods
employed by star route rings, whisky
rings, post trader rings, bond refund
ing rings, gold rings, protective rings,
and monopolies, these pious Pecksnitfs
skuIk behind the tomb of the martyred
President and raise their hands in
holy horror and with eyes in fine
frenzy rolling declare it to be sacrilege
to expose the rottenness and corruption
of the party that used Dorsey and
Brady with their star route plunder to
promote its success in 1880. But no
amount of hypocritical sniveling and
cant will be likely to prevent the ex-
posure of the manner in which the
self.righteous crowd succeeded in Sc
curing an "honest ballot and fair
count"
