The withdrawal of Pomeroy and Co
nant, the Presidential ticket of the Ameri-
can party, the chief tenets of which are
opposition TO the liquor traffic and to Sc
cret societies, does not appear to have
attracted more than passing notice. In
fact. so infinitesimal was the attention
paid to PomerOy when he was nominated
that his scandalOus record was not pub
lished. People hardly inquired whether
or not he was the man formerly known as
subsidy" Pomeroy. As for Conant, the
candidate for Vice President, it is doubt
full if it Is generally known yet whether
he is a resident Of New York or New
Mexico.
The headless American party, it is
announced, will support st. John and
Daniel, the candidates Of the Prohibition
party. 1t isn't probable that it will give
that party much help because it doesn't
possess much strength. The reports that
are put out about the Prohibition party,
however, ought to alarm the managers OF
the Republican party.
The Prohibitionists are workers. They
are holding big camp meetings in the
Northern and Western States, and appear
to be causing a great deal Of excitement.
Their orators, both men and women, are
Of the fervid sort, and they talk good
deal like revivalists at protracted religious
meetings. They are not bothered by scan
dals. If their candidates are not pOliti-
cally and morally clean the fact has not
yet been made public. They act like
people who have great work to do and
are bent on doing it.
The Prohibition party hasn't ghost Of
a chance, of course, of carrying a single
State. but it is worth watching simply be-
cause it illustrates how much men and
women can accomplish who are guided
and encouraged by a single purpose.
While it may not accomplish anything
for itself in the present political contest,
| it may be the means of ousting the cor
rupt Republican party from power. 1t
draws its strength chiefly from that or
ganization, and it will very materially
reduce, if it does not wipe out, the Repub-
llcan maiOrities in New York, Iowa,
/ Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. An
| amusing feature of the situation is that
the Republicans do not dare to make war
| on the PrOhibitiOnists.

Fortunes in Contraband Goods.
The secret of the loves of Mr.. Dana and
the Widow Butler, too long hidden from
the cold eyes of an unsympathizing pub
lie, says a Washington special to the New
York World, has just come to light.
Slowed away in the musty archives Of
the War Department a correspondence
has been unearthed by the merest acct
dent, which shows the gallant Butler in
the strange light of an alleged dealer in
contraband goods. The papers, stained
and yellow with age, can be seen
by any one DESTROYS of inquiring in
to the matter. or part of the CORE
spondence may he found in Gen. Bakers
well-known ''HistOry of the Secret SER
vice." One of the official letters is dated
at Washington, Jan. 20, 1865, and is ad-
dressed to &C. A. Dana, Assistant Secre-
tary of War" The writer is L. G. Baker,
Brigadier General and Chief of the y a.
tiOnal Police. He has been ordered to IN
quire into certain illegal and reasonable
transactions done under recommendation
of Maj. Gen. Butler, regardless of every
motive but the sordid one Of amasslng
wealth at the expense OF the very life
blood of this country" In reply Gen.
Baker says:
During the latter part Of last year, one G.
NJ, Lane, upon the recommendation OF MAJ.
Gen. Butler, procured permission to carry TO
North Carolina articles not of contraband
nature consisting of hOOpskirts, ladies wear
ing apparel. etc. and receive in return cot
ton. Lane loaded his steamer, the Phlladel-
phia, not with the articles specified, but with
salt, coffee. pork, molasses, army shoes, hats,
etc, and delivered these to Mai. j X. hlte,
agent for Confederate supplies.
Gen. Buffers brOther-in-law, Mr.. Hlldreth,
is partner of this Lane, and has received, in
one case alone. fee Of $1,000, besides other
fees.
The letter goes on to give list of firms
sucking the lifeblOod of the nation"
through peculiar privileges conferred by
Lane d Hildreth, all done under protec-
| ton of Buffers order. George A. john
son, late Adiutant General under Major
Gen. b. F. Butler, and Others" the letter
states, shave several stores near Corn
Jack, Currituck county, n. c., and are
reported to have sold in two months $780,
600 worth of contraband goods" After
reciting instances where descriptions of
| detectives were furnished the COnfeder
ates, the letter concludes: "And it can
also be clearly shown that a large portion
of these goods have gone directly to Gen.
| Lees army"
There is no record that Mr.. Dana took
any measure against Gen. Butler looking
to the revoking of Lane d Hildreth's
| strange permit.

In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated

What life itself is, nobody knew then-nobody
knows now. But we have learned something
of the reasons why the mysterious tide rises
and falls. Provided the great organs of the
body are not irreparably destroyed, medical
science can always relieve, and often save.

FINISHING THEIR CIVILIZATION.

Seventy -seven Young PueblOs to be
Placed Among Pennsylvania Farmers.
Seventy-seven young Pueblo Indians,
says a Carlisle, Pa, special of Aug. "a,
arrived here by special train from Harris
burg this evening. They are all from New
Mexico and are brought here to attend
the Indian training school. They are
from 8 to 20 years old, are from tribes that
are, to some extent, engaged in agricul-
ture and of industrious habits. Miss
Shields, one of the teachers of the school,
went West in the early part of the summer
with the intention of obtaining recruits for
the institution. With the assistance of
some former pupils she succeeded in gath
ing this installment, and when ready to
come, Capt. Pratt, the superintendent,
and DR.. Agnew, of New York, recently
appointed an Indian Commissioner, went
out and brought on the party. They came
through from Laguna, n. NJ, in four days
and presented travel-worn and wearied
appearance. The school will open its fall
term with 400 pupils upon its roll, nearly
all of whom viii be in actual attendance.
About eighty will be placed among the
farmers throughout the eastern counties
of this State for the purpose OF giving
them a practical knowledge of farming.

A CERTAIN French connoisseur was great
admirer of Greuze's paintings. An old woman
was schooled to act the part of the house
keeper to a suppOsititiOus man, whose pOr-
trait had been painted by Greuze This man,
who dead, had wIlled to his old house
keeper-such was the stOry-a legacy Of Sl25

portrait in her possession. When the eOnnois-
seur as told all this he became, of course,
impatient to be the owner of the unattainable
picture. The only means Of acquiring il that
he could think of was to offer the proprietor
double the annuity that he supposed she was
receiving. She made the sign Of the cross to
preserve her from temptation. and immedt-
ately thereafter fell victim to it. Then COW
ering the picture, so that its appearance might
not strike her with remOrse. she delivered 1t
to the tempter. who discovered, too late, that
her son, aud not Greuze, was the painter.
QUESTION has arisen as to the origin of
the word ''microbe," so much used during the
last few years in connection with the discOve
ries of NJ. Pasteur, and which has ended by
finding place in the vocabulary of everyday
life. No dictionary, not even that of Llttre,
contains the word: and though most persons
whose talk Is Of microbes may be supposed
to know, at least approximately, what the
expression means, there are probably but few
who could say when and by whom 1t was first
| employed. In a paper read by NJ. Charles
SedillOt Of Strasburg, in February, 1878, on
the application of NJ. PasteuF's discoveries to
surgery, the word was used for the first time.
He suggested microbe from naikr0s and bios.
In replying to NJ. Sedillot, NJ. Pasteur used
the new word twice; and the day afterward
