The Springfield Republican says: " The
Republican party at Chicago must realize,
as it did at Utica, that Mr. EDMUNDS is the
only candidate who can assure Victory"
The fun in this Is that our simple. minded
New England contemporary is in dead
earnest, and hasn't the most remote idea
that Utica did not give EDMUNDS a boom.

Tho story that the late Surgeon Wood

not credited by those who were most

informed as to the phases of his malady,
which was brought about by over appli-

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22.-It is an
nounced that John l.. Sullivan will prob
ably preside at the glove fight here to-
morrow night between Jack Burke, the
middle-woight champion of England. and
rather in favor of the clever Englishman,
but as certain parties in this city have
promised Welch to establish him. in q
handsomely Furnished saloon in the event
of his winning, 1t Is expected that he will
make a game fight. kilograms to secure
seats have been received from New York,
Boston, Washington, and other places.
Rookie, who knocked out Bill England in
New York last Monday, will be on hand
to challenge the winner.

A tree, undoubtedly, is one Of the most
beautiful objects in nature; airy and doll
cate in its youth, luxuriant and majestic
in its primo, venerable and picturesque in
its old age, 1t constitutes IN its various
forms, sizes, and DEVELOPMENTS the great
est charm and beauty Of the earth in all
countries. Tho most varied outline OF
surface, the finest combination Of pictur.
esque materials, the stateliest country
house would be comparatively tame and
spiritless without the inimitable accom-
paniment of foliage. Let those who have
passed their lives in richly wooded
country, whose daily visions are deep
leafy glens forest-clad hills. and plains
luxuriously shaded, transport themselves
for moment to the desert, where but a
few stunted bushes raise their heads above
the earth, or those wild steppes, where
the eye wanders in vain for some "leafy
garniture," where the sun strikes down
with parching heat or the wind sweeps
over with unbroken fury, and they may
perhaps estimate by contrast their beauty
and value

She is badly, but not fatally burned.
Thomas Gray. while walking on the
