II Oregon has elected Republican
Legislature, the Democrats will lose
another Senator. This is another reason
why the Democracy should not lose the
House.
- "It's always the last buyer who gets
the votes" said Mr.. Howard Carroll,
speaking of the Southern delegates. He
was sorrowing over the fact that the Ar.
thur men got in their work first and left
the field clear for the Blaine bar'l.
- The Rock Hill Herald says:
"About four years ago DR.. ]. A. Glenn
extracted tooth for q gentleman in this
County, kept it out an hour and ten min
utcs, long enough to put in two filings,
and then replanted the tooth in the cavI-
ty. 1t is as good to-day as any tooth in
his head, and has never given him any
trouble. The doctor has since been sue
cessful in two other cases of the same
kind"
The Republican platform points out
a great many things for correction, and
promises many admirable reforms.
Common.sense people will be apt to
inquire why these alleged wrongs have
not beer righted, and why these COM
mendable reforms have not been accom-
plished in the twenty. four years in which
this party has held uninterrupted posses
sion of the Government?
"A good amateur actor carried q
satchel into Baltimore groggery and
displayed contents that seemed to be
money to the amount of $25, 600, at the
same time pretending to be demented'
A companion intimated to the rum. seller
that the treasure ought to be taken care
of and agreed to leave it in bis possession
if he would hand over $500, as security
"But this must be your own money, iol
nothing in the bag must be disturbed,
said the friend. The sum was eagerly
advanced by the saloon man, who, OF
course, intended to keep the bag, in
which be subsequently found nothing but
worthless paper.
During an Arctic exploration, Lieu.
tenant Ray investigated the depth to
which tho ground was frozen. He says
"I dug an earth shaft thirty-eight feet in
depth for tue purpose of testing the tenn.
perature, and found, on calculation, that
it was frozen to depth of 300 feet. A
bucketful of the stuff was taken out Of
the shaft, when thawed out, separated
into earth and water, about four inches
of the latter standing on top. This
proved that if the ground there were evel
warmed sufficiently to be resolved into
its original parts, it would be found to bt
quite incapable of supporting anything
on its surface. 1t is really frozen slush.'
- The New York Herald says: There
will be an immediate development of in
terest in what the Democrats will do or
the 9Th of July. We have no doubt they
can easily win with Tilden's name at tht
head of their ticket. He is far more
popular now than he was four years ago
It is notable how the sense of justice
lives and grows in the popular heart
The fraud of 1876 is more strongly resent
ed now than in 1880. Not only woule
Tilden secure all the Democratic votes
but q large number of Republicans
would see in him q conservative, states
manlke leader for whom they can safely
vote. His name will represent an open
ing. but still conservative, future; pro
gress to new ideas and new policies ant
healthful advance for the country
With Tilden at the head of their ticke
the Democrats need to be careful abou
the second name. Tilden would, w
believe, live out his term if elected for
though his body may be feeble, his brai'
is clear; and history tells of many feeble
bodied statesmen besides Richeliu: Sen
ator Morton, Of Indiana, dragged abou
with him for many years of most ener
getic and exhausting public service
body more badly shattered than that Q
Tilden is. Governor Seymour was rlgh
when lie remarked to Herald reporte
some months ago that in his opinion
Tilden's bodily feebleness was no dis
qualification for the proper duties o
