in the life of the city where the scum

all humanity seems to find q Judgment.
In the great ''dumb-bell" tenements, in
the rickety old frame buildings, in the
damp, unwholesome cellars, on the side
walks, and in the cutters reeking with
fifth and garbage, is a seetbing mass of
humanity, so ignorant, SO vicious, SO
depraved that they hardly seem to be-
long to our species. Men and women,
yet living, not like animals, but like
vermin Every door and alleyway is q
sewer from which pour invisible rivers
of foul gases, pestilential odors and
germs of disease. Villianous looking
men lounge about the doorways and scan
every strange face with that suspicion
which is born of q sense of evil doing;
b~lack-eyed women, some of them scarce
ly past the age of girlhood, and others
as wrinkled, ugly and repulsive looking

The Bend is not a pleasant neighbor-

A Failure in Candy Eating.

A Kansas City coniectioner says thai
cit is safe to bet that nobody can cal
so cents worth of candy. I saw it tried
the other day. Two young fellows came
in, one of whom bet that lie could do it.
He started on what lie thought were the
most expensive candies. and missed it,
The candies he selected were made prin.
cjpallY for show. He went from one kind
to another, filling his stomach with all
kinds Of mixtures. When he had eaten
30 cents worth, he began to show his
disgust. At As cents worth he stuck.
He had bet 81 he could eat so cents
worth Of candy, but he paid it rattle,
than eat the Inst five cents worth.

Americas Most Powerful Trade Union.

The chief organizer of the best man
aged and most powerful national trade
union in the United States, Mr.. Peter
j. McGuire, of the Brotherhood of Car
penters, came to town from his head
quarters in Philadelphia q few days ago.
He is an old-time New Yorker, though
yet i'll the early prime of his busy life.
He is what Sidney Smith once said
another man was, n ''steam engine in
breeches," and is unsurpassed in the
labor ranks as o public speaker of
earnestness and power. He spends his
time travelling over the States, forming
branches of the Brotherhood, of which
he is Secretary, and which, largely
through his efforts, has now $4,000 en-
rolled members in 500 local unions.
The Brotherhood is q benevolent as we'll
as n protective organization. and has
several benefit features, for which it
raises and disburses large revenues. 1t
also seeks to encourage a higher stand
ard of skill in the trade. to enforce an
apprentice system, to advance wages,
reduce the hours of labor, and secure
the protection OF its members through
mutual assistance. Yet, says Mr.. Nc
CURE, very few strikes have occurred in
its ranks, and very little of its money has
been spent on strikes. Every member
of the Brotherhood stands ready to tell
how largely its marvellous success has
been the work of its mastery organizer,
Brother McGuire.-N. y. SIN.

4 CannibaI's House in New Guinea.

There are two large posts in front,
eighty feet high, on which rests the
large peaked shade, around which there
hangs a graceful fringe of young sage
leaf. The front is about thirty feet
wide, and the whole length of the house
is 1G0 feet, tapering gradually down to
the back, where it is small. Our COM
partment is about twenty feet high and
ten feet broad. The front is q common
platform foored with the outer skin of
the sage palm, and kept beautifully
clean. The whole is divided into courts,
with divisions of cocoanut leaves, nine
feet high, on which hang various figures
not at all good-looking. From the top
of the %cocoanut leaves hang graceful
curtains of the young frond of the sage
palm. Standing on the platform in
front and looking down the whole
length along the passage or hall, with
the various divisions and their curtains,
it has q wonderful effect. In each of the
courts are numerous skulls of men, wo-
men and children, crocodiles and bears;

Politics in The West.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.


WEST MILLS, n. O.. April IS, 1885,
There has been good deal said of late
and wisely enough toO-about the proba-
BILE asprants to the Gubernatorial Chair
The race for the nomination seemed for a
while to have settled down as between
Stedman and Clark, either one of whom
would make the Old North State a splen-
did chief official But since Judge Clark
has withdrawn from the contest We cannot
tell what the effect may be. 1t however
appears to be a foregone conclusion that
the Governor is to be selected from the
Eastern portion of the State and the con
clu.ion seems AS equally foregone that a
portion Of the State ticket ought to be
selected from the Western portion of the
State. All of the offices belong to the
people and it is Of course their inalienable
right to say who shall fill them, and it
would seem that our experiences two years
ago ought to teach US some lessons of i'm
portance. The proper engineering and
management will carry a glorious victory
for the Democratic party during the next
campaign, while to start the old ship
a sailing improperly manned might posi-
bly,in view of the thorough alertness and
organization of our enemies result in an
inglorious defeat.
In view of these facts let us think in
telligently, act with prudence and espec-
tally vote intelligently. OF all the men
spoken of as yet for Governor, Stedman
is especially popular in the western por-
ton of the State, and if the success of the
Democratic party in any way depends on
the almost solid vote of western portion of
the State, this is the way to secure it
Give us at the head of the ticket Stedman
for Governor with Hon. X. Elias for the
Lieutenant Governorship and Theo. F.
Davidson FOR Attorney General, and you
can then count on carrying the western
portion Of the State with a swt eping vic
tory Mr. Elias is we'll known throughout
the State as a man of strong personal
character and influence, and as a cam
paigner and stump speaker, has few equals
if any in the State. His manner is always
pleasant and though easy is digntied and
polite. His political principles are of the
soundest Democratic type. His strong
personal popularity; his extended influence
of the highest tone; his unquestioned and
almost unequalled ability as stump speak
er r;his answering loyalty to the Democratic
party, and his experience in the Legislature
| as Senator from the 42nd District of the
| State; all point him out as a man in every
way qualified for the position
Yours truly,

same time guarding carefully the welfare
and protecting the interest of the entire

and social graces of any one who will ever
ornament the Governors Mansion in Raj
eigh.

another, no man will submit more cheer
fully to its decision or rally larger mum,

Peeps back at him, perpetual.
