Sense shines with q double luster
when it is set in humanity. An able
yet humble man is jewel worth a
kingdom.


Base all your actions upon prin,
ciple of right; preserve your integri-
ty of character, and in doing this
never reckon the cost.


Sincerity is to speak as we think,
to do as we pretend and profess, to
perform and make good what we
promise, and really to be what we
would seem and appear to be.


A man who has no enemies ought
to have very faithful friends, and one
who has such friends ought not to
think it n calamity that he has enc
mics to be his efloctual monitors.


The socrot Of happiness is con
ccalod in appreciative content If
7ou cannot have what you would
like, try to like what you have.


1t will afford swoetcr happiness in
the hour OF death to have wiped one
tear from the cheek of sorrow than
to have ruled an empire, to have con-
quered millions, or to have cnslayed
the world.


A philosopher says that the true
secret OF earthly happiness is to en-
| joy pleasures us they arse; for that
man who can keep his eye upon the
bright present, while it is bright,
tastes the cup OF sweetness prepared.


Nature is the only workman to
whom no material is worthless, the
only chemist in whose laboratory
there are no waste products, and the
only artist whose compositions are
inhnitely y varied, and whose feuility
of invention is inexhaustible


Profanity never did any man the
least good. No man is the richer,
or happier, or wiser for it. 1t com
mends no one in any society. 1t is
disgusting to the refined, abomina-
bic to tho good, insulting to those
with whom we associate, degrading
to the mind, unproiitablo, needless
and injurious.


Brethren, we are MI sailing home;
by and by, when we are not think

Gen. Cochrane introduced ex-Recorder Smith,

unanimously adopted:


DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.


We. the citizens Of New York, in mass meeting
assembled, without distinction of party, do hereby
declare and resolve:


J. That we reaiirm the wise, patriotic, and states
manlike platform of principles adopted by the late
Liberal Republican Convention at Cincinnati.


ii. That we welcome the hearty acceptance Of this
platform by the late Democratic State Convention
at Rochester


III. That we recognize in our distinguished fell
low-citzen and friend Horace Greeley


The true representative of the principles Of tho
equality of all men, and OF exect justice 10 all
men =


The true representative Of the principles that must
triumph in genuine Reunion to be secured not by
bayonets but by mutual regard and the mutual
guarantee of reciprocal rights and benefits -


An honest man, the constitutional foe 10 tho
thieves who must be driven from national as well as
municipal authority, as the first step to the real
Civil Service Reform we pledge ourselves to win;-


lifelong laborer. and associate of laborers, with
whom the rights of the workingmen will be sure Of
all needful regard -


public man whose commanding ability the ma
ton has long recognized, and leader whose namo
we welcome as the watchwOrd Of victory.

to the Government


V. That we hail the general approval Of the Gin

and to bury out Of sight the hates and controversies
of the war.

KEEP THE HAIR UNBLEMIsHED-'T am like
an old hemlock-withered at the top said
venerable Indian Chief, pointing to his thin
and bleaching locks. Thousands of men and
women in civilized society, much younger than
the old Sycamore, are like him, "withered at
the top" simply because they have neglected
to use the means of preserving and beautifying
the hair which science had placed at their dis
posal. IfLYoN's KATHARIoN be faithfully ap-
piled once or twice day, to the fibres and the
scalp, it is just as impossible that the hair
should decay, wither, fall out and become
harsh and fuzzy, as that meadow, duly re-
freshed with nightly dews and sunlit rains,
should become arid and barren of green blades.
This matchless preparation not only keeps the
hair alive and the skin of the head in a healthy
and clean condition, but actually multiplies
the fiaments and imparts to them lustre,
flexible and wavy beauty unattainable by any
other mode of treatment 1t does not, like the
metallic and sulphurous hair dyes, dry up the
natural moisture of the scalp, but supplies nu-
triment to the roots of the hair and vigor to the
fibres. Observation-Disclosures


EDITORIAL NOTICES are common that it Is
almost impossible for an editor to express his
honest opinion of the merits of any article
without being suspected of interested motives
This fact, however, shall not deter us from
saying what we think of new addition to the
Materia Msdca to. which our attention has
been recently directed We refer to DR. j.
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs, q
remedy which is making its way into more
families just now than all the other advertised
medicines put together. There seems to be no
question about the potency of its tonic and al
terative properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing neither
alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is spe-
cific for Indigestion, Billousness, Constipation
and many complaints of nervous origin, we
have reason to know; and we are assured on
good authority that as a general invigorant
regulating and purifying medicine, it has no
equal 1t is stated that its ingredients fob
tanned from the wilds of California are new
to the medical world; and its extraordinary eff
fects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is
a compound of agents hitherto unknown. If
popularity is any criterion there can be no doubt
of the efficiency of the VINEGAR BITTERs, for
the saleof the article is immense and continu-
ally increasing. apr14wt

The kind of amusements with which the
inhabitants of Virginia City, Nevada, are
wont to beguile their leisure hours can hard
ly be considered of an elevating character.
But a short time ago they had grand bull
and bear tournament, and now their "opera
house" has been the scene of contest be-
tween cats and dogs. At first the cats had
things their own way, but the dogs picked up
courage and managed to carry off the palm of
victory. The struggle must have been des-
perate one, since we read that the contes-
tants ''fought so rapidly that it reminded one
of bunch of fire-crackers exploding and
whirling about" When people find "sport"
in such scenes, no wonder that they pick
their teeth with bowie-knives and shoot one
another just to make their cemeteries look
respectable.

A iudicious wife is always nipping oil
from her husbands moral nature little
twings that are growing in wrong dlrec-
tions. She keeps him in shape by continual
pruning. If you say anything silly she
will affectionately tell you 50. If you de-
clare that you will do some absurd thing,
she will find some means of preventing
you doing it. And by far the chief part
of all the common sense there is IN this
world belongs unquestionably to woman
The wisest things a man commonly does
are those which his wife counsels him to
do. A wife is grand wieldcr of the
moral pruning-knife. If Johnson's wilc
had lived there would have been no hoard
ing up of orangcpeel, no touching all the
posts in walking along the streets, no eat
ing and drinking with disgusting voraci-
ty, If Oliver Goldsmith had been mar
ried he would never have worn that men,
orab'e and ridiculous coat. Whenever
YOU find man whom you know little
about, oddly dressed, or talking absurdly'
or exhibiting any eccentricity of manner
YOU may be tolerably sure that he is not

more sense than their husbands, especiail
when their husbands are clever men.

The Democratic State Convention assem-
BILE. tomorrow in Little Rock, for the pur
pose of shaping the course of that party for
the campaign now upon the country. This
is. Of all meetings ever held by the party, the
most important not only TO III" party bat To
the State.


That the Baltimore delegates will be in
structed to oppose nomination iSs foregone
conclusion. The Democratic party cannot he
guilty of the folly of aiding the reelection of
GRANT by any imprudcnce at Baltimore. We
may then, assume that the contest for the
Presidency. will be between GREELEY and
GRANT-or rather between the Cincinnati
and Philadelphia political articles of faith.
This means Capitalization, corruption, ncpo-
tism military despotsm as opposed TO uni
yersal amnesty and suffrage. honesty in high
places, civil reform supremacy of the civil
over the military. peace and good Will. The
election Of GREELEY buries the issues grow
ing out Of the war and will lead TO forgctlul-
ness Of past bitterness and strife, and full
and uucquivoeal acceptance Of the present
situation. This can all be easily accomplished
by wise action On the part Of the Democratic
party. We firmly believe that wisdom Will
not be wanting


As to the course to be pursued by the Con
vention, In reference to State policy and the
nomination of candidates for State officers,
little can be guessed until the delegates meet
md the whole case Is before them. Our indi-
vidual opinion is, it would be best to make no
State ticket at present, as there l. ample time
and we know not what time may develop.
We earnestly desire the election ofhoncst ca
pable men, and we hold, under the present
circumstances, that the peculiar political be
lief of the candidate should be "A secondary
consideration. Our State Is now upon the
eve of bankruptcy and our taxes are grinding
the life out of the people. A speedy and am
pie remedy Is demanded by these people, and
the instruments by which this is accom-
pllshed, Is immateral. A ticket could he
formed of both parties and doubtless be easily
elected. The policy of such action is for the
Convention to determine. We hope and be-
lievc the delegates go to this Convention, de-
,ermined to permit no personal feeling to en-
tcrfcrc with the general good.
