A Clerical slanderer.

The Chicago Herald says: "Rev.
George II. Ball, Pastor of a Baptist
church in Buffalo wrote the article
concerning Mr.. Clevcland's private
life now in circulation, and published
It anonymously in petty and char
acterless sheet in that town. Fear
ing that his work would not have
wide circulation he wrote to various
other. preachers editing religious
weeklies, reciting the alleged facts
and adding thereto allegations con-
cerning which he claimed to have
personal information that Mr.. Cleve-
land had attempted to ruin a young
lady in high standing in that city
but that his motives had been dis
covered in time to rescue her. These
letters, it appears, were intended to
be CONFIDENTIAL" for the guidance OF
men of God only, and not for the pub
lie eve save as the vide SANDER might
be filtered through the columns of the
religious weeklies under the respon-
sibility of their editors. A Chicago
preacher named West the editor OF a
hebdomadal of more or less piety,
printed the letter he received with, a
good deal more haste than would
characterize his publication of any OF
mankind's good deeds, but he forgot
to omit the writer's name. The
charges were given out over the sig
nature of Rev. George ii. Ball, and
in that way they have been tele'
graphed from Maine to California
Having found their way back tC
Buffalo, newspaper reporter handed
a printed copy of the letter to Rev
Mr.. Ball and asked him If he knew
of the truth of the allegations therein
made. Did he say instantly tina
he did, know and that he was pre-
pared to substantiate all that hC
had written? No he did not. III

Ezekiel Eads, who died recent
ly, aged sixty-iive years. was
born without ears and had no apcr-
lures where his ears should have been.
He was able, however, to gather
sound through his mouth. When
addressed he opened his mouth and
could hear conversation carried OH in
an ordinary tone. His hair was black
at birth, but was intersperscd with
oddly-shaped gray spots, some OF
them resembling diminutive human
hands and ears. These singular
marks never changed and his black
hair never became gray. Eads left
Ia living children. The eldest, Al
years old, has hair as black as jet and
not gray hair in his head. The
youngest, aged l3, is as gray as mar
of 70. Eads was a native of New
York State.

first impulse with people who notice
children is to kiss them. Bah! it

eascd brcaths, lips blue with cancer,
foul and decayed teeth. You would
kill a stranger who would waylay
your young lady daughter and kiss
her by force; but the helpless, inno-
cent, six-years old child, susceptible
as a flower 10 every breath that blows,
can be saluted by every one who
chances to think of it. | tell you il

a kiss. Hundreds oflovely, blooming
children are kissed into their grave

The True and the False.

In Blaine's letter Of acceptance
among a great deal Of electioneering
talk, the following truly patriotic SEN
timcnt is expressed:
''The name of American, which belongs to IL
In our national capacity, must always eXalt the
Just pride of patriotism"
The students of history will find in
Washington's farewell address to his
countrymcn the following phrase;
''Thc name of American, which belongs to
yom in your national capacity, must always eN-
alt the just pride of patriotism more than any
appellation derived from local discrimination
These two quotations are SO similar III
effect and language that the casual
reader might infer that there was
strong resemblance, not only i'll the
literary style, but also in the sentl-
ments of Washington and Blaine.
This however would be an error. 1t
is quite clear that Blaine literally stole
his declaration from the Father OF
his country with the intent to deceive
American voters. The resemblance
between these two men is wholly i'm
aginary, if in fact any one has ever
pretended that il existed. We have
only to quote another expression
from Blaine to show how wholly
different they were III motives oras
pirations. When the Little Rock and
Fort Smith speculation was under

The Last Resort.
Washington Special.


The following editorial from the
Star, in regard 10 Blaine taking the
stump, attracts notice here, because
of the known intimate relations be-
tween Its editor and Mr.. Blaine:
"It is said that when General Logan
visits Mr.. Blaine few days hence,
the question whether or not either or
both of them shall take the stump
during the campaign will be discus :
ell and settled. Whether this state
ment be true or not, and whatever
conclusion may be reached in case it
shall turn out TO be correct, it can be
said now that if Mr.. Blaine should
not make any public addresses pend
ing the Presidential canvass, a good
many of his warmest and most SAN
guine political friends will be greatly
disappointed. Unquestionably his
eloquence, popular manners, and
what for want of better term has
been styled his personal magnetism,
were considerations which had large
influence in procuring his nOmina-
ton; but what, asks his enthusiastic
admirers, who are in favor of his
taking the stump, what are these adj
ycnlitious aids worth to him and his
party if the candidate who possesses
them is to be quarantined on the Is
land of Mount Desert instead of going
before the people? 1t has been rather
, the fashion of late years to consider
: it unseemly and undignificd for an
aspirant 10 the Presidential Office tt
plead his cause before popular as
semblage and for some time candi
dates thereof have forbOrne to avail
themselves of such and, but it is by
no means certain that this course wai
not due more to the want of availa-
BILE talent for that field than to ;
particularly high regard for the dig
nifty and proprieties of their position
for the time being. At all events, j
Mr.. Blaine chooses to take the stump
:. it can be said that there are plenty o
I precedents for that course in period
in the history of the county when, t
