"TnERE is nothing aristocratic," says
the Philadelphia Times, "about Samuel
]. Randall, who now looms up in such
imposing political proportions. 1t is
said of him by his constituents that he is
as easy as an old shoe For many
years his regular abode was little old
fashioned hotel, on an out-of-the-way
street near the wharves, frequented
mostly by drovers, small farmers and
clerks. Now he has small country
place outside of the city and lives in the
most simple and unpretentious way.
When he comes to the city, instead of
staying at the great hotels, frequented
by the rich and influential, he patronizes
n small but well-kept hosiery opposite
Independence hall Until very recently
he always went to dinners and other en-
tertainments in his ordinary garb, and
when urged by his friends to adopt n
dress coat he did SO with the greatest
reluctance"

A WRITER in the Mining Review gives
the following regarding the discovery
of copper ore in Northwest Texas: "a
deposit of copper ore of unexampled ex-
tent, Of which information was first
communicated to us by a citizen of
Texas, has been discovered in Archer,
Wichita, Haskell, Knox and Wilbarger
counties. Upon examination it was
found to be n highly interesting ore of
copper-nearly a pure sulphuret, con-
tanning about ~ per cent. of metal. The
geological connections are of the high
est interest, and proves that the metal
liferous tract is portion of the permlan
formation which stretches down from
Kansas into Texas, and is the only ex-
ample OF this formation known in the
United States. The ore is psendomor-
phous after wood, and is found lying on
the hill sides, and always on the surface,
giving no trouble in mining or for drain
age. Three men in 10 hours dug out
5000 pounds Of the ore averaging nearly
70 per cent. Coal, timber, limestone,
soapstone, and all the requisites for
building furnaces and smelling the ore
are In the immediate vicinity. The
Texas Pacific railroad passes close TO
this locality, consequently the develop
ment of these mines Is not far of"

Tux indications at this distance from
the Republican convention at Chicago,
go to show that the campaign this fall
will not be dress parade affair. Every
delegate in attendance, and every move
ment made by. either faction is. indica-
tive of purpose to work earnestly and
vigorously from now until the eve OF
election in November. The campaign
will be one of vigor and determination,
and the breaks in the ranks will not be
observable to any great extent. Every
plank of the platform is positive
and solid one, and there Is no dodg-
ing of issues. The Democrats will be
given lesson on the rise and fall Of
political issues that will make them
ashamed Of themselves, and the country
will easily see which Of the two parties
is In earnest about the prosperity and
welfare of the country.

says the Waco Examiner "llis very
letter of acceptance must begin with ex-
plantations and 1t is well understood
among politicians that when you get an
opponent to explaining, the fight is half
won. Mr.. Tilden's whole energies must
be devoted to explanations; to Demo-
Gratis and supporters he must explain
why he did not accept the Presidency
when they had elected him, TO Republi
cans he must explain his cipher dis
patches, and his corrupt effort to bride
electors, and to the tariff reformers he
must explain his alliance with Sam
Randall, and to the country he must ex-
plain his position upon every prominent
question in State politics. When these
explanations shall have been accom-
plished, the election will have passed
and the only course left to ridden will
be that trod by Greedy"

The Canning Business

The packing houses situated in
this county have all done good bus
iness the past season in the way of
canning vegetables. The packing
house of II. L. Shipley, on the line
of the b. & z. r. r., have put up
quantities of tomatoes, gxeen peas,
corn, and early fruits. The canning
houses Af North Severn have, like
wises, put up an abundance this year
of ali kinds of vegetables, fruits, &c.
A large Gamer, of the third district
informed US, few days ago, that it
paid them to can their goods far bet
ter than selling the vegetable and
fruits in season at the sacrificing
prices. Messrs. T. G. Boone, Rock
litz and others, have entered largely
into this business of late years, and
have added every improvement to
their packing establishment to en-
brance their. business. Why then
is there not an establishment of this
kind in our city in successful opera
ton is a mystery to many, 1t is
certain that all of our merchants deal
more or less in these goods. and this
patronage alone would almost sup
port home canning establishment.
Let some enterprising capitalists move
in this mattec, aud with iudicious
management we venture the asser-
tion a successful business would fol-
