A gentleman Immediately from Ohio
reports the Democracy in the State very
confident of the election of Hoadley for
Governor. 1t is claimed by those best in
formed that he will carry Hamilton coun-
ty by five thousand majority. On the 9th
er hand the Republicans say that the con-
test will be very close between Hoadley
and Foraker. These opposing candidates
for gubernatorial honors live upon the
same block in Cincinnati, the former has
been for some time quite i'll, but has now
nearly recovered.

The Philadelphia North American, a
staunch republican paper, says: "Mahone-
ism begins to wear painful look of doubt,
it is not caused by the grim determination
of the organized Bourbons, possibly not
wholly by the adverse position adopted by
the Republicans, but it has found itself
confronting a disposition on the part of
honorable men IN the State of Virginia to
discountenance trlcksters in politics and
repudiate before anything else dishonesty
wealth."

Mr.. Chas. M. Bragg, the new editor and
proprietor of the Allegheny Sentinel, late
of Montgomery county, was in this city
Saturday. This paper has been published
as the Tribune for several years, by Mr..
VIM. A. Fl. Frenger, and was good local
journal. but neutral in politics. The de-
mand of the good Democracy of Allegha-
ny for party paper has resulted in
this change. Mr.. Bragg says that
POLITICALLY the new journal will be a
staunch advocate Of the Democratic
party, both in State and Fed
eral politics, believing as we do, that the
people who maintain should govern our
State and Country" This is good de y
claration of principles for the new editer,
and the paper, backed by his enterprise
and talent, will doubtless commend itself
to the patronage Of the people of Allegheny
and adjacent counties.

THE PRIMARY TO-MORROW.

Tomorrow will be very importantday
for Augusta. More important even than
the election day in November. For at the
primary Augusta county and Staunton
will say who shall represent US in the next
legislature. In Augusta, thank Heaven,
1t is for the Democracy to say who shall
represent her people, and no Coalitionist
or Republican has ever yet been placed in
Office when the whole people spoke togeth-
er at the polls. But let there be full
turn out of the old Democracy tomorrow
and let us have a rousing primary that
will express the will of the people in such
unmistakable tones that the opposition
will not be able to use the cry of caucus
and ring dictatien against our candidates,
and too, let there be careful selection of
our best and strongest men, that the in
fuence Of their candidacy may not only be
felt at home but all along the line.
The whole State looks to Augusta as
one of the leading counties in this charge
upon the enemy. She is by common con-
sent placed in the front rank in this fight
as she has been in all the issues that have
followed reconstruction. Nobly has she
led the Democratic column. Her colors
have never yet been struck. and now let
every man, rank and file see to it that In
this contest. they are carried higher and
farther to the front than ever before.

it's own size and density, the heat evolved
would be immediate and so great as to re.
solve the earth into vapor very speedily,
and in that case we would not be called on
to suffer as long as we could think about it.
In any event, then, there is nothing to be
troubled about. First, we are not likely
to meet and collide with any celestial body
at all disturbing to us; in the next place,
if we do, we will have no painful realiza-
tion of it. But as to the chances? 1t is
not in astronomical science given that there
is any reason to suppose there will be
a suspension or change of the laws that
hold the earth swinging regularly in her
orbit there is such remote chance of some
other body coming within our influence,
that it is not worth mental disturbance. If
a body enters the earth's planetary system
at a distance a hundred times as great as
the radius of the earth's orbit, and moving
as rapidly as the usual speed of comet
% miles a second-its chances of strik-
ing our sun would be as one is to millions,
unless its path were directed within less
than half degree of the suns center.
We may then safely go on speculating,
loving and hating, living in ease or pow
erty, suffering and enjoying, and give
but slightest thought to the possibility of
the earth meeting with any accident

first-clsss passengers, and the latter two
also intermediate passengers, only one
steamer of the Gle Commerciale, the Mar
settles, has accommodations for frst-class
passengers. The other steamers of the
line have generally taken few cabin passen-
gers, but the arrangements of their off.
GERS quarters, where such passengers are
installed, are so poor and inadequate, that
the long ocean journey becomes an insup-
portable hardship. Another drawback ia
the slow speed of the vessels Of the Com.
merciale line. A first-class English ocean
steamer could make the voyage from Liv-
erpool to New Orleans in II to IA days, in.
stead of 20 to 81, as by the Commercials,
and it depends to be seen what will be the
speed of the English Dominion line, which
has just advertised fortnightly departures
for New Orleans. Also, the North German
Lloyd promises more frequent service by
it's faster steamers. However, the sea is
generally calmer in those southern lati-
itudes, and the weather warmer during the
passage through the gulf stream, contrast
ing favorably with the rough weather often
encountered by the north Atlantic route,
especially nearing the banks of Newfound-
land.
Several large parties for California have
been arranged by the European represent
atives of California for the fall and winter
months, both by the Bremen Lloyd
steamer which left Bremen on September
ssh, for Galveston, and the Commeroials
steamers, Bordeaux and Paris, the latter
parties being accompanied by special
agents of the Immigration Association and
Southern Pacific Railroad
As soon as the new route between
Europe and California, via New Orleans,
has become better known, and the steam
ship companies feel encouraged to put on
fast steamers with irst-class accommoda-
tions-which can easily be done by the
Dominion line and the Bremen Lloyd
there is no reason why not only the Euro
pean emigrant, but the Californians them
selves, should not profit by this direct line
to Europe.
This new connection between Europe
and California, which our State owes solely
to the enterprise of the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, promises to become
most important factor in business and gen.
eral traffic, and renders California inde-
pendent of all Eastern competition. Surely
it will "hold its own " on the Atlantic
side as we'll as on the Pacific. o.

sanitary science, we must expect more or
less of confusion of ideas and opinions. It
is indeed true of all the sciences at this
day. In medicine we find the most dis
tinguished authorities differing widely on
matters that to the lay mind it would ap-
pear should have long since been settled.
In sanitary science, however, there is moth
ing which the layman may not examine
intelligently, and in Judicial spirit. The
sanitarian can make his positions clear to
the ordinarily well.read man. There are
no technical mysteries, no abstruse propo
sitions, no intricate matters which require
special reading for comprehension. The
householder may. therefore. well apply his
own reason, read, hear, examine and adopt
that which accords with it in the
light of the evidence presented to him.
In this way he is quite as likely to go in
the right direction as if he adopts the dog
matte statements of architects, builders
and sanitary engineers. The fundamental
principles the citizen now understands, and
these are that cleanliness is the first law,
pure air necessity, foul vapors and nox
ious gases dangerous, and deposits of filth
and sink holes of decaying nastiness invi.
tations to disease.
