When Hammond, '.the evangelist"
was carrying the country by storm,
several years ago, he came down to
Ironton and held forth in one Of the
churches. +, We then looked upon him
as temporizer and q sensationalist,
pure and simple: one Of those men
who rise, have their short day Of gilt
ter and selfgain, and then pass away
the world at least no better
for their having been. Quite different
from them are those pastors who labor
faithfully all the year and serve the
Master with no thoughtof self. Their
name is legion, with small need Of
earthly praise or gain. AS we thonght

NIr. Tilden and the Democracy.

FROM Nc dbtQntQ COuSuthtOns
Nothing was ever palmer in our pol
itics than that the hope of Democratic
success in the coming campaign rests
mainly with Samuel J. Tilden.
We do not know that Mr.. TiIden will
accept the nomination. We believe he
will. The pressure from all sections
of the country and all classes of the
party has become SO strong that Mr..
Dana of The Sun, Mr.. Tilden's best
friend, who has stubbornly opposed
any discussion of Mr.. Tilden's name,
has yielded and now advocates his
nomination. We believe Mr.. Tilden
will also yield. If he does, he will be
the next President as sure as he lives.
By common consent it is agreed that
the solid South, with 153 votes, il con-
fronted by an equally solid section of
the North with 153 votes, leaving as
the six debatable States New York,
New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Nevada,
and California. The vote of these
States will elect the next President.
The proposition of certain foolish lead
ers to abandon New York and New
Jersey in the hope of winning votes in
the Northwest il as absurd as the
proposition of the Republicans to try to
divide the South.
In our opinion the debatable ground
is even narrower than the above limits.
We should put Ohio in the Republican
column, and leave the fight centred on
the remaining five States. OF these
Ti!den can carry New York, Indiana
and New Jersey beyond the shadow of
a doubt. He would need to carry only
New York and Indiana, as they with |
the South will give 2O3 votes, or two |
more than is necessary to elect Wei
believe Tilden can recapture Connecti-
cut from the Republicans, and carry
Nevada and California. This would |
give the Democrats an overwhelming |
victory.
No amount of shutting and pettifog
ging can change the formula of the
next campaign. The Democrats to
win must carry New York and Indiana,
and take fighting chances in New Jer-
Connecticut, Nevada, and CAL
ifernia. If they want to win, it Is their
plain duty to nominate the man that
If strongest in these States. That man,
beyond all question and dispute, is TIL
den. He carried New York, New Jer-
sey, Indiana, and Connecticut eight
years ago, New York, Indiana, and
were lost to the Democ-
racy in the campaign OF 1880, and TIL
lens majority in New Jersey was cut
inwn 10000 votes. Tilden can recap
lure these States. He is stronger now
.han he was in 1875, and could make
| more aggressive and brilliant cam
paign.
The situation may be summed IN.
Mr.. Tilden will give the party conf
isnce and enthusiasm. He will weld
rs factions into an army standing
shoulder to shoulder He win subor-
iinate the tariff issue, on which the

THE GROCER.

 Those who Ike puns must read this poem The grocer loved a charming girl, As lovely as the day; He wondered if she'd marry him, And said, "Let Soap she may" And straightway to her house he went, Her lovely face to see, Exclaiming, "Ah, know full well That Cheese the girl for me" The girl was very kind and said That she was very glad To see him there, and then remarked What bad Co6se had. -u And soon they got most intimate, She let him kiss her brow, But when he spoke of marriage, said, ''Oh, donot Teas me now" The grocers spirits fell at this, He felt as though he'd die, And hinted at a suicide, While she Bacon to cry. "You silly boy, you don't suppose I'm blind to all your merits" It's evident she knew way Of Raisia up his "sperits But true loves course did ne Ter run smooth, Her father saw them kiss; And kicked him from the room, and said; "You'd Biscuit out of this" And thus adjured, he soon got out, It hardly need be said; And tumbling headlong down the stairs, Mustd,yi-ly hit his head. "Oh, father, you are cruel, to So roughly handle us" Thus spoke the girl, and father said 'I think it's Candle us" Papa relented when he saw His child begin to cry; ''There, there, you think my treatment
 harsh,
 My daughter, Soda l. ''Thers, keep your lover, dry your eyes; And lets have no more row; did not like the man, but my Opinion Sait-ered now" The two were wed, and made pair, By no means ill-assorted; And happy ever after were, It's CuTant-ly reported.

"Oh, I couldn't think of telling you

"Oh, couldn't think of telling you that"
 "I demand it."
 "Mr. Ali Rensy."
 Stickney excused himself after talk ing for few moments on miscellaneous and to him uninteresting subjects, and walked around to where Rensy stood, weaving flower in the bright tresses of judges daughter, tapped him on the shoulder and said
 "When you complete the young lady's floral adornment, let me have a few words with you"
 "My cheerful occupation is gone for the pleasant task is done. Iawait your commands"
 Oh, they were polite in those days.
 Stickney conducted Rensy to an oleander that grew in the half of a whisky barrel, turned to him and said ::
 "What is popinjay?"
 "Why don't exactly know"
 "A kind of Arkansawism?"
 "Oh, no, for Shakespeare uses it in Henry the Fourth"
 "Don't you know it's exact meaning?"
 ''I do not"
 "But you know that it is not compli- mentary?"
 'I don't think that it would be ap- propriate in panegyric."
 "Then, sir, why did you refer to me as popinjay?"
 "You astonish me. made no such reference to you"
 "Did you hold a conversation with the Widow Pepperston few moments ago?"
 "Yes."
 "Did the word 'popinjay' occur dur ing that conversation
 "I believe it did,"
 "She says you applied it to me-" ' "In that event." says Rensy, lowing like Sir Walter Raleigh before Queen Eliza beth, [don't know how he bowed, ', but this is in type now and the printers would charge time in correcting, even if we were to hunt up the authorities] T must not dispute the lady's word, but she's liar, all the same."
 People were polite and gallant in those days.
 "Then you did say that l am pop injayg"
 'If the widow so reported me-"
 "Do you know what I am going to do?"
 "Proceed to enl;ghten me. am all ears"
 "'I see you are. I have remarked the same of an ass. want your blood"
 "How much?"
 "A gallon."
 "I am little short at present, but 1 will exert myself to accommodate you"
 "Meet me on the sand bar tomorrow at sunrise," and lowing like Punch he strode away.
 The news of the approaching encoun- ter soon found circulation. Rosy cheeks blanched and stout hearts quivered. At last these two desperate men were to fight. Men who had lived in this fond hope sank unrequited into their graves, and old women who had shared this hope dreamed away their delusive lives. Verify, the generation then rising had not come up in vain.

CHAPTER II.


 The sun rose at the usual hour. The weather was beautiful and at dawn the sky was dressed in purple, with here and there a fleecy, ruffied cloud of fine linen. One star staid up to welcome the sun, and then, like morning news paper man, melted from view. The long stretch of sandbar was soon dotted with people. Anxious fathers brought their children, and cripples and para lyzed men came as though they were going to bathe their shrunken shanks in Bethesda of blood and be healed It was naturally expected that the com batants would come heeled. Just as the sun had lost his deep glow and had put on his dazzling spangles, the duel- ists arrived. They shook hands cor dially, and each man turned to his seconds. They were to fight with win ter bowie-knives-overcoats, properly speaking.
 Stickney ran his thumb nail along the edge of his overcoat, turned to the au- dience, and said:
 'This will be a memorable day in the history of Arkansaw. The school boy of the future and the bright girl who wears a checked apron and stands at the head of the class, will read of this day with thrill. Although .no polit- ical importance can be attached to the encounter which is soon to take place, yet it is of great social moment. It will show the degenerated manhood of the future that there was a time when a mans honor was dearer than life, par ticularly the life of friend. I have been most shamefully insulted by Rensy. He called me a-called me a what the deuce was it you called me, Rensy"
 "Blamed if haven't forgotten"
 "That's queer. I thought I had the thing down fine. It wasn't an ourang- outang, was it ?'
 "No, I am quite certain it was not an ourang-outang."
 "Let me see. Pepperbox wasn't it?"
 "No, l don't think it was."
 "It's devilish strange I can't remem- Der that. I wrote it on the cuff of the shirt wore, but I wore Steve Dalroff s shirt and he came after it this morning and is wearing it now"
 "That so? We'll, that makes him the popinjay instead of you."
 "That's fact. Yes, sir, he's a pop inlay, and am half inclined to believe that he is coward enough,,to wear it.. We'll, suppose we travel. My good people, we are sorry to have disap- pointed you, but l have ever made it a rule not to fight unless knew what I was fighting about. Good morning."
 Oh, there were brave men in those days.
The Arizona champion., 1884-02-02

'It is passing strange" unused the philosopher, "that so many people have died during the last decade, and yet so few of them have come back" Then his wife hit him over the ear with a hassock and told him to go down to the grocery and get some red herrings for breakfast.
