epoch In onr history ; whose work is
far from being dene, and which has
in its heart and brain more potential

In time of need the colored people

stricken Memphis the colored men
have organized to relieve dlstreBB, to
guard deserted Ijoubcs and property,

creased the confidence of those who
were once their masters.
The Republfcans' of Illinois have
made twelve of the nineteen nomina

except one, where the present incum

trade off tried and true men for those
without experience in legislation.

ever devised by ambitious political
leaders. We do not believe men
should make governments as they do
limited partnerahipsto be dissolved
at the caprice of a very small portion
of their number, if that portion hap
pens to be a State. When govern
ments are formed there is no such
thing as peaceably splitting them up
into the parts of which they were
made. There never was, and never
will be, any Buch thing as peaceable
secession. But here comes Mr. Dav
is, in 1S7S, proclaiming his faith in
this wretched evil; the South should
disown the doctrine.audask of him to
be 'let alone'."
To tills tlie editor of the Democrat
replied : "Mr. Davis Is simply a man
of firm convictions, believing now
what he always believed, and the ed
itor of the Democrat and thousands of
others? think with him."
Replying to the Herald, the Augus
ta (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel said :
"We do uot hesitate to say that, very
far from being the raving of a lunatic,
it is a noble exposition of true princi
ples, without which this government
must ultimately perish." This ques

on the old issue of union against ee-

Owego, N. Y., Aug. 14. this place
has a very remarkable, but an entire
ly true story, which is the general
topio of conversation.
In 1863 a man named O'Conner kept
the Side Hill House, three miles north
of Owego. Ho was arrested In that
year, tried and convicted for passing
counterfeit money, and sentenced to
two years in the State Prison. He
waB married and had two children.
He never returned home, and his wife,
believing him dead, was married in
1869 to a shoemaker named Berry. A
day or two ago O'Connor made his ap
peurance in Owego. Berry, Ills wife's
second husband, was absent from
home. O'Connor obtained an Inter
view with the wife. She accompanied
him to Horneilsville, where one of his
children, a daughter who had grown
up and married during his absence,
lived. Berry ooming homo and find
ing out the situation, went to Hor
neilsville, found his wife, and asked
her if she would go back or intended
to live with O'Connor. She decided
to return toOwego. O'Connor left on
tho next train, taking with him a son.
a young man aged 17 years. He is go
ing to Soutli America. He says that
after being released from Auburn
Prison lie went to St. Louis. There
he joined a band of .bank robbers.
They robbed an Illinois bank of $240,
000. O'Connor's share of the spoils
was $25,000. With this he fled to
Cuba. He was followed, arrested,
brought back, and sentenced to ten
years in Joliet. His treasure lit se
creted in Cuba. On his release in
187G he went directly back to Cuba
and recovered his spoils. With this
money lie went to Brazil, where lie
has acquired wealth and poshion
He came to this country for his fami
ly. He had in his possession $23,000
in coin, $10,000 of which, it is said,
he gave to his wife.

Kcnsons Why They Should Support
Their Tarty
Hossiter Johnson writes: it one
book must be singled out nnd doomed
never to receive decent typographical
treatment, It should have been any
other than the Bible. I should like
to see what could be the effect of giv
ing it n fair chance. I believe it
would be read if it were made read
able. We ought, to have oue edition
of it without foot-notes unless in
rare cases where these were absolute
ly necessary. Where the italicised
words are necessry to a complete nnd
idomatic rendering they should
be printed in plain .Roman, when
not thus necessary they should be
dropped. .
Instead of verses we should have
paragraphs, nnd ail figures and indi
cations of the verses abolished. Con
versations should be printed in brok
en paragraphs, with quotation marks
just as a novel. Poetry should be
printed as poetry. Instead of being
crowded iuto one volume, the book
should be iu four or five moderate du
odecimo volumes with large type and
good paper, so that it could be at once
held out without tiring the arm to
read without straining the eyes. Fi
nally this book should iiave a good
analytical iudex. A cumbrous con
cordance Is not an index, and does
not serve the purpose of one. If pre
sented In sucli a form, tho Bible
might be enjoyed as literature and
(perhaps better understood as a divine
authority.
To Tighten. Wagon Tires.
I did meet with a few extraordinary
mean men in Sydney. There was one,
a mprchant-prince, who made a boast
that he had neverglven away shilling
in his life. So far as I know, lit only
departed from his extreme selfishness
on one occasion, and the circunstan
ces are worth relating. One morning
a poor Irishman stepped int his
counting iiouse, and looking tho very
picture of misery said :
'Oh! may it piase yer Honor, I've
iost a pig the only ,'pig I had and
misthress , the governess, hasg'v-
en me a pound, and sint me to you nr
another. She says you have enough
gould to buy a st3r wid, and will 'je
sure to give me a little.'
At first old hard-fist refused ; upn
which Paddy threw himself on astod,
and raised sucli a piteous wail that tie
merchant, thinking he was mad abmt
the death of his pig, gave iiim tie
pound to get quit of him. Next diy
the proprietor of the defunct porler
was passing the warehouse, and s'O
ing ills benefactor at the door, tomb
ed his hat to him.
Well, did you get drunk with tiat
pound, or buy another pig?' asled
the ricli man, grufily.
Bought a pig, jer Honor, n daring
little tiling, wid a awatc tw 1st it. Iub
tail, like a lady's curl.'
'Weil, it is to be hoped you'll take
better oare of him than yon did cthe
other. What did he die of?'
Die of ? Did yo say die of. row?
Why git out wid ye he teas so jit J
killed him '
No man cau go down into the dun
geon of his experience, aud hold the
torch of truth to all the dark cham
bers and hidden cavities, and not
come up with a shudder and chill us
lie thinks of the time when he un
dertook to talk politics with the deaf
old father of his first sweetheart
while the girl was present.
The physical development exhibit

Tell a woman that England had
changed to a republic; the Sand'wich
Islands had sunk, and Lake Erie had
dried up, she wouldn't exhibit half
the interest that would post-ess her
over the statement that something
had at last been invented to remove
freckles.

I have found the following way to
tighten wagon tires to bo successful:
Apply leather rings between the
shoulders on the outer ends of the
spokes and the corresponding por
tions of tbe fellies, which may be
done as follows: Procures' number of
small pieces of leather, from nn Inch
and a half to two inches In diameter;
with a sharp knife nnd compasses, or
with a cutting punch, make round
holes in the centre of these pieces,
and make a straight cut from the hole
to the outer edge of the pieces so as to
form open rings. The holes must be
made of a siae that will nicely fit
the tenons on the outer ends of the
spokes. Place a fulcrum on top of
the hub on which place 3'our lever,
with Its short end under the felly
near a spoke; have an assistant bear
down ou the outer eud sufficiently to
raise the felly, and expose the shoul
der and tenon of the spoke; open
your leather ring and fit It nicely
around the tenon, holding It to its
place while your assistant relaxes the
lever, and settles the felly firmly up
on the leather by a blow or two on
this there Ib no mistaking the faot 'the tire. Having repeated the pro
cess with a- suflkuent number of
spokes to make the tire all right,
trim off the projecting leather even
with the surface of the spokes, and
your task will be done. If your piec-

The question which every disaffect

before he commits himsolf against the

possible that he cau secure better re

If he will review all the elements In
this query we are satisfied that his an
swer wiW'be in the negative, and that
he will be compelled to admit that
not only can ho not hope to better
himself, but further that he cannot do
so well. The Republican party is not
all that any of us would like ; many
of its minor acts are opposed to our
ideas of right and expediency, and
we frequently wish that -some of Its

much superior to the best of Democ
racy. There is nothing whloh any
Republican can complain of that will
be righted, or even bettered", by the
euccess of the Democrats or the Na
tionals, while there are many tbingB
of much more importance that will
be irretrievably injured by the suc
cess of those parties. The road to im
provement in any particular is
through the Republican organization.

pacity or inclination to effect reforms.
Attempts at such by other parties are
