THE GovERN0RsH1P.

In the frat issue of our paper after
our decided choice for the
of Hon. james Jefffies as
the Democratic candidate for our next
Governor, we reiterated we had nailed
his head to the masthead, there to re-
main till by the free and unbiased
choice of a Convention fairly organ
ICED his name should either be rat'neo
or defeated, and further that II Tree
and fair choice was made we had no
fear as to the result. Since the ca""''
dacy of Mr.. Jeffries was annonncea'
40 far from seeing anything to regret
90 r. our choice we are each day the
more firmly convinced that bis is the
name to lead us on to victory. and that
if selected he will prove just the chief
magistrate for the times-just such as
is sorely needed. 1t is known that the
candidate of onr choice has never in
anyway been connected with rings,
clioups or factions, hence he has en-
phatically no friends to reward, no en-
emies to punish. He has ever been a
conspicuous advocate for pnre and
free government, the sacreepess of the
ballot box he considers the very bull
wark of onr liberties. He has never
proclaimed one doctrine and practi'ed
different one, but all his public acts
will hear the test of the strictest scru-
tiny and he he the gamer thereby. -
There ia no public position he has fill
ed IN which he did not reflect honor
for the good of the State has been bis
guiding star in every position, and II
clothed with executive power who thai
knows him could for a moment douh
that principle and not favoritisn
would govern his actions. Nj. JET
fries needs no fulsome laudation a
our hands; both he and lila friends ar
ever willing that lie should be judged
by his acts, and they speak loade
than words. Justice and liberalit.
have been his prominent Characters
tics as a private citizen; his frmnes
and unyieldiug integrity is the hes
guarantee that in public capacity h
would ever act on principle. Nom
3 doubt his patriotism and enlarged ca
pacity. Fitted alike by education

any position to which he may be call

We have in no way by word or dee

pirants. TITS not By such conrse "
expect to elevate the candidate Of on

reap their reward, but it will not be j

however. and fully believe, if the bi

An UnIucky Number.

English papers tell an amusing story of
a we'll known banker of Liegc, Belgium.
A short time ago he gave little dinner
party, to which ten guests had been bid
den, beside himself and wife, making
twelve in all. They were just about TO
sit down when in dropped friend from
the Antipodes, and invited himself to
dinner, thus making the fatal number
thirteen. The banker, to prevent i'll
luck, rushed downstairs to his Office,
found the cashier just about to leave for
the evening, dragged him up stairs, fitted
him with n dress coat, and led him tri-
umphantly into the drawing-room amid
the applause of the relieved guests, three
of whom declared that they would not
sit down to the best dinner ever served if
there were thirteen at table. At that
moment the bell rang, and a note was
brought for one of the guests whose wife
had suddenly fallen i'll, and who consc-
quently was unable 10 remain. Thirteen
again! Gloom and despair; and the
cashier, finding himself the Jonah of the
evening, volunteered to depart. The
banker saw him down stars, and was ex-
pressing his regrets when 80 JOY! - the
family doctor heaved in sight. Him the
host secured, and, happy in being able to
offer the Inequalities of his table TO his
kind-hcartcd and sorely-tricd employee,
the three returned to the drawing-room
Dinner was ordered to he placed upon
the table, but, just as all was ready, the
hostess, who was in delicate health, and
who had been unduly excited by all the
untoward events, tainted dead away and
had to he put TO bed. Thirteen againl
This time there was nothing for the
cashier but TO go and and dine with what
appetite he might at the nearest res.

The Wall Street Operator.


The operator who makes money at the
Stock Exchange is, in general, gener-
ous-minded fellow, like any other gam
bier. When luck goes with him he re-
members the boy who seems TO have
brought him luck by running to and fro.
Some day the boy says, perhaps; Cant
you buy me seat in Stock Exchange?
1t is worth $35, 1000, but you can hold the
certificate until l pay you" The boy
gets the seat and he docs the trading
for the operator who bought it for him,
and these commissions rise high into the
thousands of dollars after awhile, and,
behold, tho boy owns the seat, and the
operator is coming around him to be what
is called ELAINE duck" or an elephant"
asking to be credited with few hundred
shares Of stock. A ELAINE duck" is man
who has once been on his feet, but has
been crippled speculation, and expects
his broker, who has made money out Of
him for several years, TO carry him awhile
till he can make lucky strike. An
elephant is man who has been great
operator in his day, and being out Of
money, wants to operate Just as largely
at the risk of his broker till he can get
on his feet. Having debt of gratitude
on his side of the account, he terrifies the
broker by the gratitude he expects
