'.S A Democratic Orator in a Itltiddle. Not lonrj since a Democratic orator was speaL'ing to a gaping crowd on the thai issues at stake in Iowa, when at tempting to palm off a lie on liis bear ers, an amusing incident occurred. He had told them how the rich bond-holders had reduced them to slavery in spite of the efforts of the Goddess of Liberty and several o'.hr personage3, both human and celest'al, till then unknown to the audience. He quoted extensively from George Francis Train's dema gogue speech, and among other things the fallowing: "Work! work! work! From the dawn to the dutk of day. Fi r your hopes are cru.-hed with a weight oT debt, That the toil of joar 1 1 f won't pay." Having wrought up his hearers almost to mutiny, he left that branch of the subject, and proposed lo show up some of the Republican leaders, beginning with lien. Wade. "Why, fellow-citizens,' said he, 'there's Ben. Wn.de, a regular agrarian, who wants all the property divided s' that every man will have an equal share." (Thundering aprlaue, and cries of "Bully for him," "Thai's the tickeif' "He's the man for me!") "Why, fellow-citizens," said he, "Ben Wade is a radical and an agrarian." (Deafening applause and yells of "Good for the radicals!" "Bully for the 'grarian?!" The speaker was thunderstruck. Evidently his hearers had never heard much of Ben. Wade and the radicals. They had been stirred up against the rich, and they thought that radicalism was a species of Democracy of which Ben. Wade was the champion. "Gentlemen fellow-citizens," con tinued the speaker, "I don't think you understand me Ben. Wade is the Vice President, elected by the radicals, and lie is himself a radical, and an agrarian land pirate to boot. Why, what do you think? lie propooos to take the rich man's property, for which he toiled in early life, and give k to those tvho have no property, even lo those who da not work. What do you A voic8 "Three cheers for Ben Wade!'' And n spite of all that two or three villufre leaders, candidates for consta Lies and supervisors, could do, the crowd gare three thundering cheers for Ben. Wade and the " 'grarians." The ora tor, finding that he had got on the wrong track, abruptly brought his re marks to a cloe. DEXTLR. This famous little horse made his last appearance in public, at Chicago, sometime since. . He is thus described: Dexter's dam was a small mare four teen and a half hands high, with three white feet, a star and snip, and hip shotten. She was muscular, wi'h an uncommonly fine shoulder and barrel. She was a good roadster, but had noth ing particularly noticeable about her. In 1S-57 this little mare was taken to Rysdyk's Hambletonian, and the result was the paragon Dexter, whose name will endure as long as speed is valued or the sports of the turf indulged in. Dexter is fifteen hands one inch and a half high, and was nine years old last spring. In color he is a rich, glossy brown, blaze face, four white feet, the white running well up the legs. His head, though somewhat large, is clean and bony; lower jaw well open at the base, leaving plen'y of room for the windpipe; ears tapering and lively; eyes bright and prominent; head well set on a rather light neck, which is well fitted to fine sloping phoulders, withers high, wi'.h great depth of brisket and good barrel ; back slif htly arched, with broad loin and hips, and a drooping rump; uncommonly long from the point of the hip to the hock; short canon bone? mane and tail ' sufficiently full to de velop his Hambletonian origin. The best time he ever made was at Buffalo, August 14, 1S67, in a trot against time, makiDg his mile in 2:17. He now belongs to Mr. Robert Bonner, of New York. g'-Col. Forney, writing about the Paris Exhibition, says: "That which pained me most in our department was the worst picture of Mr. Lincoln erer painted; and when I noticed how many persons stood before it, and how uni versally his fame was diffused among the working classes of the world, I re gretted that something more worthy of hi virtues bad not been prepared." Tlie Cirotto L.11 percale. An interesting piece of news, both from an antiquarian and historical pointof view, comes from Rome. There ha3 been brought to light by means of excavations in the grounds of the pal atinate, near the palaces of the Ca?sars, the antique gro'.to Lupercale. It is known that the histories, half religious and hnlf civil, whicti are attached to this grotto, go back as far as the Arca dians of Evandre, who raised an altar at this place to the god Pan. After ward?, if we may believe tradition, when the cradle. which bore Romulus and Remus was cast upon the bank of the Tiber, these young adventurer crawled to this grotto, where they were suckled by a wolf. The grotto from that time became doubly sacred, and took the name Lupercale. This grotto, with the addition which had been made about and above it, was respected until the time of Augustus, but it subsequently disappeared, with otner heathen altars, destroyed by the hands of t'we Christians. M. Gori, who has the credit cf this discovery, came upon it while following up the course of a pure stream cf water which fell into the great Tarquin sewer, but which came from an uuknown source. He found that this stream was fed by waters which came from the heart of the Palatia forest into the grotto Luper cale, and to the foot of this altar to Pan. Of the sanctified basin which secured this water but a few fragments remain. The source of the sacred stream has survived the temple, and the temple its deity. The L.ife,of a Newspaper Han, For the information of those individ uals who foolishly imagine that the life of a newspaper man is a paradiseon earth, and is fraught with untold pleas ures and privileges, we give the follow ing t ketch of the duties of this individ ual, concerning whom audi a wrong impression exists. It is taken from Mr Hunt's volume of the ' Fourth Estate:" "The man who becomes a journalist must almost bid farewell to mental rest or mental leisure. If he fulfills his duties truthfully, his attention must be ever awake to what is passing in the world, and Lis whole mind must be de voted to the instant examination and discussion and record of current events He has no time for literary idleness, with such literary labors on his shoul ders. He has no days to spend on catalogues, or in dreamy and discursive researches in public libraries. He has no months to devote to the exhaustion of any one theme. What he has to deal with must be taken at a moment's notice, be examined, tested, and dis- 1,1 ! " 1 misseu at once; ana mus nis minu is ever kept occupied with the mental ne cessity of the wrrld's passing hour." jgFJohnson's enormous egotism has done the country a service by making public the letter of Grant protesting against the removal of Sheridan. He made it public for the purpose of get ting his reply into print; but where one man will pay the slightest heed to anything in the humble individual's" letter a hundred will ponder and re member these words of the great and patriotic soldier, viz. : General Sheridan has performed his civil duties faithfully and intelligently His removal will only be regarded as an effort to defeat the laws of CoDgress. It will be interpreted by the unrecon structed element in the South those those who did all they could to break up this Government by arms, and now wish to be the only element consulted as to the method of restoring order as a triumph. It will embolden them to renewed opposition to the will of the loyal masses, believing that they have the Executive with them. It is undoubtedly the expressed wish of the country that General Sheridan should not be removed from his present command. This is a Republic, where the trill of the people is the law of the land. J5-The Salt Lake Vedette tells us that in that Elysium of Mormondom young maidens of fourteen and fifteen summers are given to lustful, decrepit monsters of from 40 to 80 years of age, who have already one foot in the grave. This is called modern civilization in Zion. . - Mr. Gough's Recovery. The following incident is worthy of being often repeated, as an encourage ment to labor for moral or religious reform. A warm heart and wise tongue may overcome formidable ob stacles. Rev. J. L. Cuyler tells this story : On a certain Sabbath evening, tome twenty years ago, a reckless, ill dress ed young man was idly lounging under the elm trees iu the public square of Worcester. He had become a wretched waif on the current of sin. His days were spent in the waking remorse of the drunkard ; his nights were passed in the buffooneries of the ale houe. As he sauntered along out of humor with himself and with all mankind a kind voice saluted him. A stranger laid his hand upon his shoulder, and said, in cordial tones, Mr. G , go down to our meeting at the town hall to-night." A brief conversation fol lowed, so winning in its character that the reckless youth consented to go. He went, he heard the appeal there made. With tremulous hand he signed the pledge of total abstinence. By God's help he kept it, and keeps it yet. The poor boot crimper who tapped him on the shoulder (good Joel Stratton) has lately gone to heaven. But the youth he saved is to day the foremost of re formers cn the face of the globe. Me thinks when I listen to the thunders of applause that greet John B. Gough on the platform of Ex3ter Hall or the Academy of Music, I am hearing the echo ef that tap on the shoulder, and of that kind invitation under the ancient elms of Worcester! He that winneth souls is wise. S una att. What of this conspira tor ? What had he to do with the as sassination? Only this. He was simply a poor "tool" .in the hands ot more wicked men a "cats paw" nothing more. As to his guilt there was no doubt, from the conviction and execution of Lis miserable mother, with her fellow conspirators. Another wicked Satan planned the work, he simply helped its execution. As the electric telegraph was the result of ma ny mwids indeed of all past and pres ent prophets, poets, philosophers and inventors so that assassination was the concentration and culmination of all the wickedness in that struggle for the perpetuation of the "pe culiar institution." Bad ambitious men had sworn- to "rule or ruin." Tnis was one of the modes by which it was to be done. Who were the man agers ? Whiskey-drinking, cock-fighting, horse-racing, lottery vending, pot house politicians and play house actors were employed to do the wicked work. A few of the lesser criminals, as usual, will lose their poor live?,- while the old er Satans will, as u?ual, escape unhung. As to what becomes of the iusiguificant Surratt, nobody cares. Let him be forgotten. Am. Phren. Journal. gs5FA convict in the Auburn (N. Y.) prison, who was looked upon for some time after his incarceration as hardly compos mentis, has invented and made a superior sewing machine, en tirely different from any used in the outer world, upon which the prison clothing is made. Near by, a knitting machine of his make is turning out stockings for the p isoners at a rale which made the ladies stare with as tonishment as they passed by it. He has also made a gun worth $125, and is now at work making locks of his own invention for the new cells. His name is Moody, and he is a nephew of Col. Moody of Ohio, the celebrated Meth odist minister who made such a stir among the rebels during the war. He is confined for grand larceny. JgTThe Baraboo (Wis.) Indepen dent has boiled down the Democratic platrorm and gets this resolution : "Re solved, That the Republican party is a curse, for it gives us no offices..' A lady in Lafayette, Ind., in preparing her Sunday dinner, put some beans in the pot t j bake. In a hurry to get to Church she inadvertantly put her hymn book in the pot and wrapped a piece of pork in her pocket handker chief and took it to Cnurch with her. The mortification was intense upon discovering her mistake duriDg service ; so was her husband's at the singular pious composition of the repast. LMIUIlATIO TO THIS COIN TIKY. A steady stream of emigration is pouring into the United States with unabated rapidity. The arrivals from Ireland, especially, are unusually large, notwithstanding the active demand for labor in that country. The dissatisfi ed rebels who, after the termination of the war, went to Mexico and Brazil are also returning as rapidly as possible to their former homes. These signifi cant fact prove that the complaints of "tyranny," "despotism" "misery" and "distress," with which the Copperhead Journals are filled, have little or no foundation in the fact; and that, de spite the high taxes caused by the re bellion, America still remains one of the most prosperous countries on the globe. We would not continue to have an onnual-influx of hundreds of thousands of emigrants if many oppor tunities of employment were not open, and if this country was not found by its new citizens to offer to industrious toilers richer rewards than Europe. We have still room for millions more of industrious men and women, and every new carge of this precious freight at once affords a guarantee of increased prosperity by strengthening our indus trial forces, and gives a proof of prac ti;al appreciation of the superior ad vantages enjoyed by the citizens of the United S.ates. Forney's Press. The Hunting Leopard. In Per- sia the leopard or panther (guepard) is trained to hunt gazelles just as the falcon will hunt herons. The hunts man provides it with a hood, and seats it on his saddle bow. The moment he sights a deer or gazelle heuncovers the guepard, and lets it down from his horse. According to the distance, in one or two bounds the guepard springs upon its prey, which it seizes by the neck and brings to the ground. The huntsman then comes up, and after ca ressing the guepard, which has already begun to make a meal of the quarry, and giving it a bit of meat to divert its attention, he puts on its hood and re stores it to its place at hi saddle-bow. When the guepard misses its prey, which very rarely happens, it hides itself and lies down, and can only be persuaded to renew the chase by re peated caresses. A trained guepard costs in Persia from ten to twelve thousand francs. A COPPERHEAD THREAT. The Philadelphia Sunday Jllcrcury contains the following in its Washing ton correspondence: Let Congress attempt to depose our worthy chief magistrate, and such a hurricane will be raised as the world never saw. Thirty thousand armed and equipped militia from the State of Maryland, to say nothing of the hun dreds of thousands from the North, would assemble and fight for the maintainance of the Government against the oppressors and usurpers. Then instead of regal honors at the Executive mansion, as contemplated by Mr. Wade, a halter would be his end a fit punishment for his treachery and contumacy. Henry Clay Dean recently wrote to Horace Greeley, inviting a discussion of the national debt question, from the stand point of Democratic doctrine of repudiation. In reply II. G. sent the filthy thiDg the following extinguisher : Office of the Tribune, New York, September 8, 1S67, $ Mr Dean Sir; I have yours of the 28th ultimo. Should I ever con sent to argue the propriety and policy of wholesale swindling. I shall take your proposal into consideration, I do not know where the cause of national villiany could find a fitter advocate than yourself. Yours, Horace Grbeley. H. Clay Dean, Mt Pleasant, Iowa. ggf Gov. Geary, of Pennsylvania, it is said, has written a letter saying that "President Johnson must net be impeached; he is as necessary to our Radical success as Pharoah was to the delivery of the Israelites." "Jerome, Jerome," screamed Mrs. Butterfield, the other day, to her biggest boy, "what are you throwing to those pigeons?" ' Gold beads, mother, and the darned fools are eatin' 'em; I s'pect they thinks its corn!" "The New York Herald has the following editorial on the employment of western troops: An Indian war is upon us. The blunders, right and left, which have made it necessary, will not now mend affairs. We must to-day accept the fact, look it in the face, and prepare to fight it out. The question is, how can it best be brought to a conclusion? Cer tainly not by our regular troops; for the whole past history of our frontier indicates a complete failure of the army whenever this duty has been as signed to it. There is but one method, and that is by volunteers. The gov ernor of every frontier State and Ter ritory should have authority to keep the Indians quiet in his district, and to raise a sufficient volunteer force for the purpose the bills to be paid by the general government. TLe troops thus raised should be plaeed in command of volunteer officers, who, selected from our ablest frontier men, understand Indian tactics, have personal wrongs to avenge, and a local responsibility to urge them to action; let them not be afraid to take a scalp. The Indian appreciates force and nothing else. If this method be pursued we shall close our Indian war in less than six months and at the minimum cost. If it be car ried on in the present style, the country may prepare itself to be bled of its treasure for the next ten years, only to find the Indian question as unsettled then as it is now. JEST" Arte mus Ward, who was a staunch Roman Catholic, was nursed in his last illness with all the tenderness of a brother by "Arthur Sketchly," who is also a Catholic. A member of the "Savage," to which 'Arthur Sketchly,' or to give him his right name, Mr. Rose, also belonged, circulated a re port and got it published in some secta rittn papers, to the effect that Artemus Ward was really a Protestant, but that at the last moment Arthur Sketchly fetched a Roman Catholic priest to at tend bim at his death-bed, and thus caused him to die a Catholic. The calumniator was called upon to retract this statement and publish a contradic tion. He refused to do so, and Arthur Sketchly withdrew from the "Savage" club, together with a considerable num ber of its most respectable members. Fannt Fern on Healthy Exer cise. Fanny Fern thinks it ought to be considered a disgrace to be sick, confidently adding: "I am fifty-five, and I feel at times as if I was just made. To be sure, I was born in Maine, where the timber and the hu man race last , but I don't eat pastry, candy nor ice-cream. I own stout boots pretty ones too. I have a wa ter proof cloak.no diamonds; like a nice bit of beefsteak and a glass of ale and anybody else who wants it may eat psp. I go to bed at ten and get up at six. I dash out in the rain because it feels good on my face. I don't care for my clothes, but I will be well; and when I am buried, 1 warn you don't let any fresh air'or sunlight down on my coffin, if you don't want me to get up." We suppose Mr. Tarton will have that final injunction carried out. ESSIA man of considerable original ity, up in Sandisfield, Massachusetts, lost his reckoning not long ago. and worked bard all day Sunday, and on Monday at the proper time, harnessed up, loaded his family into the wagon, and drove eff with all due solemnity to the church, but found the door locked. The elder lounging in the shade of the church, on the last half of his morning cigar informed him that he was at least twenty-four hours and a half be hind time. He left for home with the simple remark. "This knocks all my pious calculations to thunder." T"It is said that there are in Iowa nearly two hundred lodges of a secret, oath-bound order, whose nominal object is the "Liberty and brotherhood," but whose real and primary design is the abrogation of ail laws interfering with the traffic in intoxicating drinks. SFE. F. Barton, the preacher who victimized a Madison, Wis , bank out of a large amount of money on forged draf'.s, said he committed tho deed to provide for his family, that he might give hi3 whole attention to theological matters. SFThe American Journal of Jlin ing gives the following amuf-h:g reason why shooting stars didn't appear when expected : " When the moiogifistrio temperature of the horizon is such as lo cloricise the imperint indentation of the hemisphere analogy, the cohesion of the borax curbistus beeomes sur charged with infinitesimals, which are thereby virtually deprived of their fis surial disquisitions. This ' effected, a rapid change is produced in the thora mouber of the gympasticustus polerium, which causes a convocular in the hex agonal antipathes of the terrustrium aqua of ceretnouclar light, which can only be seen when it is visible." That's so. We know about it, and perfectly agree with the Journal. ?5?Gen. Schenck delivered speech at Pleasant Valley, Ohio, a few days since, in the course of which he related a portion of a conversation he had with Gen Grant. Gen. Grant be trayed the deepest anxiety as to the mischief the President may do before Congress meets. Gen. Schenck re marked that Congress would soon be in session again, Gen. Grant anxiously replied, "It will be seventy-eight days yet." "Why General," exclaimed Schenck, considerably surprised, "do you count the days?" "Yes I do," re plied Gen. Crant; "it will be seventy-eight days, and I would to God the time was nearer!" EsSIt is stated that the Hebrew National, a new weekly journal, eives some interesting statistics of the Jew ish race. It says that there are now living about 6,000,000 Israelites, about half of whom live in Europe. There are 1.300.C00 in Russia ; in Austria. 900,000; in Prussia, 154,000; and in all other parts of Germany, 192,000; in France about 60,000; in Switzer land, 3,000; in Great Britain, about 42,000; in Syria and Asiatic Turkey, 52.000; in Morocco and North Africa, 610,000; in East Asia, 500,000; in America. 250,000; in Belgium, 1,800; in Denmark 6,500; in Italy, 4,500, ESThe "fast" trait of Yankee character was toucbingly developed recently in this wise. A loving father of a dutiful son died in one of our western cities, and his body was brought east for interment. The son, speaking of the dedeased parent remarked: "Father died at 11 o'clock in the fore noon, I had his body embalmed, funer al services in the cars, homeward bound, before 4 o'clock in the after noon, with the body !" On the whole that was very fair time ! ESr-The Uniontown (Ohio) Stand ard says that '-if sheep are kept in the same lot with cows or fat cattle, no dogs will disturb them. As soon as the dogs approach them they will, tun to the cattle, who drive clT the dogs. A farmer of thiriy years in Shelby adopted this plan and never lost a sheep by dogs, although in the neighborhood the dogs killed sheep to the north and south of him." JK3"A colored orator, named Jack son, at a pic nic at Mt. Sterling, Ky., recently pointed Mungen's ethnological speech as follows: "Evil disposed per sons have said that the negroes belong ed to the monkey tribe, because they had long heels. Their heels could prove no such thing, for it was a fact that a monkey bad no heel at all, and the longer a man's heel was the further he got from the monkey tribe." BSfThe following is the list of prices paid by Mr. Robert Bonner for his celebrated horses: Dexter, $50,000; Pocahontas, $35,000; Auburn Horse, S13.000; Peerless, 5,000; Flatbush Maid, S5.000; Lantern $6,000; Lady Palmer, S5.000; total 8118,000. JgSSThe Washington Piess says list week as a son of Mr. Foster, of Lime Creek, was riding ty the house of Mr. J. Thomas, of this township, be was set upon by a swarm of bee, the hies having been turned over by accident, and his horse completely covered by them. He was so badly stung that he died in a few minutes. The boy was stung considerably but not dangerously.
