THE CANVASS.
Political GltanlBg* on Ques-
tions.
Sentiment and Electioneering De-
velopments of the Weclt*
Observations and Political Points
Collected by News Reporters.
Messrs. Kopperl, Weekes and Stone, the
prominent names discussed among delegates
to the city convention, should feel compli-
mented by expressions thai are heard hourly
in the streets.
A delegate is asked by sofne one for his
choice, and he replies: 44 I have not made up
my mind. Stone, Weekes and Kopperl are all
good men."* But it appears, from a general
outlook, that the Strand delegates are divided
between the three names above, with a small
preponderance in favor of Mr. Kopperl. This
would divide up some thirteen delegates. The
balance of the delegation, if sentiment is not
very much mistaken, are divided between
Kopperl and Weekes, the latter the fa-
vorite, with some in favor of the third
man. As there are fifty-six delegates
in all this apportionment would give each
man, supposing all three to go before the con-
vention. very nearly an equal number of votes
on the first ballot. The skirmishing would
then commence, and as all three of the candi-
dates are acknowledged to be possessed of
financial and managing ability, the question
of securing a good nominee for Mayor could
be settled without taking up a 44 dark horse,"
and the issue that would come up would be
which of the gentlemen would command the
widest support among the people at large. A
News reporter found but few delegates yes-
terday who were willing to state their choice,
if they had any ; but all of quite a number
conversed with avowed intention of support-
ing no man v ho was not capable of bringing
to his command financial and administrative
ability. Friends of independent candidates
getting to be demonstrative in their support.
They are anxiously looking forward to the ac-
tion of the convention. Mayor Fulton,
G. B. Nichols, and Charles Leonard,
the prominent independents, express
themselves as having little doubt of
their strength among the people, and the first
and last ntuned announce their intention to
raise their colors before long. In the dim
background another figure looms up occa-
sionally. He has. it is said by knowing ones,
the whole Republican vote at his back, and a
strong personal following. The friends of
this '* dark horse" want to see about four
candidates in the field. Then they will bring
out the man who they claim will walk over
the track. J. C. 0?le, who is referred to,
quietly looks on, and doubtless like Gov. Lub-
bock, is in the hands of his friends.
The sixth ward political status is still the
theme of lively discussion. The question is,
which delegation of the two elected will be
admitted to the oonvention. The view ex-
pressed by the members of delegation No. 1,
»is that the meeting that elected them, having
been held under call of Major Hume on the
night all the wards had their meetings, was
re2ular. Mid the ab-ence of the President, J.
S. Moore, was no cause for deferring action.
They claimjgfct their vote was more repre-
sentative lliilfthat of the second meeting: the
first set off delegates being chosen by seventy
votes ainnfe second set by forty-five. Geo.
A. WiisSii, President of the first meeting,
states that he will abide the action of the con-
vention, but he a»B his associates feel no
misgivings as to the jusree of .its decision in
the case. It has leaked out that an effort
will certainly be made to elect Republican
aldermen in two wards—the Twelfth and
Eighth. Some observing Democrats say that
the night before the election will witness an
extraordinary influx of colored voters into
thesa wards on the pretext of visiting their
brethren, but really to be ready to vote bright
and early for Wright Cuney in the Twelfth
and John DeBruhl or Geo. Nichols in the
Eighth. There being no intention to try to
elect Republican Aldermen in any of the
other wards, the cqjored population of the
Eleventh can readily be spared for a day to
make a trip to the Twelith an(!f the Eighth
Ward colored population will not want for
company while sandwiched between the Ninth
and Seventh. In the latter ward rumor had it
yesterday that Charles Carter, a colored man,
would be a candidate against J. H. Hurt for
Alderman.
These little movements indicate that the
municipal election will be full of interesting
features, and not 4* all in a groove," and some
people who believe Democracy is a synonym
for victory are inclined to think.
CAPT. FULTON
has gone into council with his friends, and up
to the present writing has committed himself
to no declarations relative to the part he will
play in the conflict other than the fact that he
will be a candidate. A few of his admirers,
more venturesome than the rest, say that the
captain has done all that mortal man could do
to uphold the interests of the city against the
pressures and combinations that have been
arrayed against him, and they claim that
while he does not entertain any peculier am-
bition to reoccupy the Mayer's chair, that he
nevertheless feels that he should be indorsed
by the honest and fair-minded of all classes,
and that this expression of approval
they can give in no way that would
be more significant and acceptable thau
by a re-election. They claim that his
honesty can not be questioned, that
be has never made a dollar in office he was
not entitled to receive as his salary, and that
he is poorer now than when he first accepted
the living of his present position. To this ar-
gument, vigorously urged by a few over
zealous but sincere men, the mighty masses
that are moving for a new deal interpose no
denial. They indorse the captain's honor, his
honesty and integrity, and say that they are
willing to accept his possession of these vir-
tues as truisms, and hence they feel that they
can never be more thoroughly convicted on
these points than they now are, and for that
reason are willing to excuse him from making
any efforts toward supplying the demand
that will soon be made for a new Mayor.
CAPT. WEEKES
is being numerously discussed as an available
man, untrammelled by objectionable assoCd-
tions and free irom any complications with
the spirit of monopoly that enters so largely
into the discussions that are common among
all classes relative to municipal matters. His
attainments as a financial calculator are uni-
versally admitted, while his successful expe-
rience in the management of moneyed insti-
tutions is urged as a strong plea in his favor
as being the right man to untangle the knot-
ted skein of the city's financial affairs. He is
said to stand well with many of the delegates
who have been selected, and until some.more
worthy claimant is brought to the front, it is
beiieved that his strength in the convention
will prevent any one from receiving a suffi-
cient vote to secure the party nomination.
HON. M. KOPPERL
is also a strong man with those who would
induct into the Mayor's chair the most suc-
cessful representative at the disposal of the
public. His large fortune, rendering the salary
of office a secondary consideration, his experi-
ence in handling and managing great sums of
money, and his thorough acquaintance with
the minutiae of financial matters are pressed
as unanswerable arguments why all other
considerations should be laid aside and a re-
quest be made of him to take in hand the
government of the city and a'.d in restoring
its credit and prosperity to the promising po-
sitions they filled ere the blight of distrust
and the misfortunes of an exhausted ex-
chequer were entailed upon it.
COL. D. C. STONE
is Mso mentioned among those who have dis-
tinguished claims to the Mayor's chair. His
engaging address and fine attainments as a
man of business are set off by high social
qualities. He is said to be very "popular with
many of the delegates, also, who will urge his
nomination upon the contention in terms that
can not fail to be gratifying to both himself
and to his friends.
CAPT. C. F. WHITE
may be set down as the irrepressible, untiring
and never-ceasing advocate of his own claims
to the office of Mayor. He keeps the clarion
tones of his horn perpetually proclaiming his
rare qualifications for the position to which
he aspires. A good many persons thought
that he was jesting when he first began to
sound the praises of his illustrious name, but
they are getting over their mistake, and are
daily arriving at the realizing sense of the
fact that Capt. White is in earnest. His
claims are beginning to be discussed, and
some are beginning to say that, unless a bet-
ter man is nominated, they can see no reason
wh\- they should not vote for him.
THE TWO-THIRDS RULE
*s going through a process of hot debate by
the politicians who beiieve that every conven-
tionalism should be known and every contin-
gency be anticipated, before the dav dawns
that shall ca-.l the delegates together to name
the coming man. It is thought by a few that
with the variegated ideas that "run through
the different delegations, that no man in the
city can reasonably hope to obtain a two-
thirds vote in the convention. These persons
fear that a split will result, and that feudal
factions will spring up and forever destroy
the disciplir e of the party in the event the
convention finds it impossible to nominate
a candidate. To avoid this alternative
they believe that the question should
be referred back to the people to determine
for themselves who shall be Mayor at a pri-
mary election. This Is the argument of the
sticklers who are opposed to the very remedy
that is commended io them by those who be-
lieve that a simple majority should be suffi-
cient to decide all the issues that mav come
before the convention. To follow the crowds
that gather and aisperse, talking about politi-
cal matters and estimating personal claims to
positions of profit and trust, is about all that
the "lookers on " in our political Vienna can
do just yet. but the day draws on apace and
ere another week shah end. it is believed that
the heavy shadows in which the ciry is now
groping will melt away in the closer approach
ol the events they foretell.
Historical Society.
The society had a meeting yesterday even"
ing at the office of the secretary, Mr. Cyrus
Thompson in the chair. The secretary made
a report of his correspondence with various
historical societies throughout the country,
and various other bodies and persons, and re-
8orted_ several valuable donations from the
epaflteaent of Education at Washington, and
three^fpies of the Texas Almanac from a citi
z-n. The names of the following gentlemen
were p eseLted for membership, to.wit: Mr.
A. C. Garsia. Col. J. S. Byington and Mr. C.
>n . Hays, and were laid ever under the rules.
Copies of the Society's recent publications
were direc ed to be presented to various pub-
lic libraries throughout the country. The
question of the next anniversary lecture wts
uiscussed, but no final conclusion reached.

THE MUNICIPAL CANVASS*
Views on tbe Issues of tbe Hour.
▲ Nsws reporter yesterday called on Mr. H.
Seeligson for his views upon the leading ques-
tions of moment in the present canvass, with
the following result:
Reporter—As you have shown, on occasions
when you expressed yourself in reference to
municipal matters, that you have closely ob-
served what is going on, the Nsws would like
to hear from you upon the issues of the pres-
ent canvass. What, in your opinion, is the
main issue of the hour?
Mr. Seeligson—I have given this matter
some consideration, feeling, as I do, a deep
interest in the prosperity of our growing citv.
I can not but think that the present is a very
important crisis in her history, and if brought
to a successful issue will have a very great
bearing upon her prosperity. To my mind
our city has not been as well governed as it
might have been. There have been some mis-
takes on the part of the administration, arising
from a desire to pander to a vitiated public
taste by courting popularity, to the detriment
of the interest of the city. The mode adopted
by our good citizens to reward party fealty
has proved to Galveston what it has to every
city in the Union (where the people have not
risen in their might) detrimental in every re-
spect. And it will everiie so as long as party
consideration is made pSI-amount to the pub-
lic good. It has been productive of one re-
sult—placing and keeping in power incompe-
tent public servants. The office should be
made to seek the man, and not the man the
office. I have always been a Democrat in so
far as drawing party lines in a State or national
contest is concerned, but I have ever been op-
posed to party nominations for judicial or
municipal officers. I am in favor of retaining
good men who have honesty and capacity in
office, and in this regard your reporter misun-
derstood my meaning in repoiting my re
marks made last week at Turner Hall. If our
citizens expect to have a well governed city,
they must rise superior to the party lash and
apply to every candidate the Jeffersoiiian
test, *4is he honest, is he capable ?"
R.—Do you hold, in view of the diversified
nature and wants of our population, that the
salvation of the city in this election is in a De-
mocratic Mayor and Board of Aldermen ?
Mr. S.—I do not think that party lines
should be drawn in the coming city election,
and regret that a convection has been called.
It would have been much better to have had
the people assemble, as they have in some
wards, and make their selections of candidates
regardless of party. The party has nothing
to gain by success in local elections, and in
the event of their candidates being defeated,
it tends in some measure to its disruption and
disorganization, as was the case here in the
last election for sheriff in our county. The
cry of capital against labor has been used by
a few designing demagogues and political
trimmers for their o^yn agrandisement. What
laboring man is so ignorant as not to know
that labor and capital go hand in hand, and
that one would be lost without the other? The
toil of the laborer is the wealth of the coun-
try. If capital alone ruled the hour, would
your port be whitened with the sails of the
commerce of every nation bearing away the
fleecy staple and grain, the toil of the hus-
bandman, to fill the cornucopia of the world ?
No laboring man to-day knows what his posi-
tion may be to-morrow. From whence sprang
the bus ness men of your city? Were they
born with silver spoons in their mouths ? Of
two of the heads of the largest wholesale
bouses of your city, one cut cord wood and
another was a tinner. Who are your bank-
ers? One was a watchmaker, another a brick-
layer, a third a carpenter, a fourth a dry
goods clerk, and one a printer. Then away
with this cry which has been used as a step-
ping stone to place and power by designing
wen who maVe politics their trade.
R.—What theory have you in regard to
straightening city finances? what plan of
bringing order out of the present condition of
affairs?
Mr. S.—As regards the financial condition of
the city, it is bad enough, and it is all for the
want of financial ability to cope with the
question of the hour. The city is not by any
means in an insolvent condition, and really
whilst city scrip sold some time since as low
as fifty-five cents on the dollar, the actual
financial condition of the city is better than
that of one half of the business men of the
world. She has since September been on a
cash basis, and has in actual good assets more
than sufficient to-day to pay three fourths of
all her indebtedness. I ask you with this
kind of a showing what merchant's paper
would sell for 55c. on the dollar whilst he is
doing a good and safe business? The city was
unmindful of her obligations. She issued
bonds in good faith. Those bonds were sold
in Europe and New York. They were de-
clared illegal by Judge Wood. I will admit,
for argument sake, that the actual issuing of
these bonds was illegal, but did that relieve
the city from the moral obligation she had as-
sumed? doubly so when she had the property
upon which the improvements were made
for which thoso bonds were issued bound to
her for their payment? The first duty
Of those - iu power should have been
to have legalized these bonds by legis-
lative enactment at once, and to have
collected the assessments upon the property.
This was the first great error committed that
has hung as a pall upon the credit of the city
and placed her unaer the ban in the great
financial centers of the world. Her next
false step was to default in the interest upon
her bonds. This was unpardonable, as there
was no necessity for so doing. The scrip was
to be found in all other purposes, why was it
not used to pay the interest on the bonds of
the city, when'by so doing the credit of the
city would have been sustained and ner scrip
probably not sold below 85 cents on the dollar?
And now as to the remedy. Collect the back
taxes due the city, as also the street and side-
walk improvement assessments. Pay the de-
faulting interest upon our bonds; let retrench-
ment and reform be the motto of the incom-
ing administration, and my word for it, our
city, in a financial point of view, will *• again
rise Phoenix like from her ashes.*'
R.—Are your opinions fixed upon the kind of
man for Mayor, and do you think it would be
a safe policy to take up a man who does not
combine great financial ability with first rate
general managing and business qualifica-
tions?
Mr. S.—My opinion as regards the kind of a
man to serve the city as her chief magistrate
in this trying hour is to select first a man of
tried integrity, firm and steadfast in his pur-
poses, alive to the issues of the day, of good
clear head, sound judgment and some finan-
cial ability; one that will not make appoint-
ments solely from those who have served their
party the most faithfully, but one who will
reward those who have proved faithful to
their trusts, and who are honest and capable.
Such a man will administer the affairs of our
city well, and his administration will reflect
credit upon him and be satisfactory to our
c tizens.

Galveston and Corpus ( liristi Line.
From the Chester -, Penn » Evening Xetc* of
December 19th the fo.lowing in reference to
the new steamship lately contracted for and
to run between Galveston and Corpus Christ.',
is clipped:
4'She is to be an iron ship for the Mallory
line. This is the line for which the magnifi-
cent ship Rio Grande was built, and this second
order for a ship shows that the owners of the
Rio Grande appreet*iate the work of the Messrs.
Roach to a substantial degree. The new ship
will be 240 feet long, 34 feet beam and 16 feet
depth of hold. She will have two decks—one
to be all iron and the other partly iron, with
iron deck frames. She will be made of the
best material and fitted, in first-class style
throughout. Her measurement will be 200
tons, and her coal capacity will be 125 tons.
She will accommodate about 40 first-class pas-
sengers, and her cabin will be elegantly fin-
ished in different styles of hard woods and
beautifully ornamented. She will spread
about 9000 square feet of canvas and will be
very fast, being calculated to make about 14
knots an hour. Her engines will be compound,
surface condensing, 24 and 44 inch diameter,
and 45 inches stroke. Her boilers will be two
in number. 12 feet in diameter and 10 feet
long. Her propeller will be of the Hure»h
patent. 11 feet in diameter and 18 feet pitch.
She will have steam pumps to clear the bilge
and steam fire extinguishers. Her windlasses
will be worked by steam. Her low draft will
be 7 feet 6 inches. Work will be commenced
immediately and the ship will be finished in
about four months. Her keel will be laid
down on blocks to be placed between the mon-
itor Puritan and the berth recently vacated
by the monitor Miantonomoh."

Black Crook—Amateur Thestricale
—Lecture.
On Monday night the Black Crook will be
presented to the Galveston public at the Opera
House. The management state that the piece
will be offered here with all the grand scenic
accompaniments which have gained for it so
much popularity in New Orleans. The follow-
ing notice, as will be seen, makes compli-
mentary reference to the play, which was on
its second week at the time the notice was
written:
"The announcement that Saturday night
will conclude the run of the 4* Black Crook"
has had the effect of renewing public interest
in the spectacle, and crowded houses at the
St. Charles theater are still the rule. Of course
the audiences are delighted with the acting,
the scenery, the prismatic fountain, tableaux,
grand transformation scenes, the grotto of
Stalacta and the fairies' home. The pre-
mieres, Miles. Remmelsburg, DeCourcy and
Devere; the coryphees, and full corps de
ballet: the amazonian march, and the
specialty performers also come in for their
full share of praise. The 44 Black Crook" can
be considered as an entertainment that com-
mends itself to intelligent as well as the aver-
age play-goer. Of course prudes take excep-
tion to the exhibitions of tne ballet, but then,
how would a syl^h look in long clothes? Act-
ing must be timed to nature in every sense of
the word, as is understood by the managers of
the "Black Crook" combination, and their
interpretation is of the kind hot to be misun-
derstood."
At Turner Hall on to-morrow evening the
Amateurs will present the play entitled
44 Married Life." and the social world is all
expectation. The evtnt will doubtless be one
long to be remembered. • Arrangements have
been made for street cars fo be on hand after
the performance for the convenience of those
who attend.
Hon. B. F. Peixotto, late U. S. Consul to
Roumania. will lecture, as per announcement,
on Tuesday night on the Eastern Question.
Of the lecture, an exchange says:
•4 The lecture incladed a brief sketch of Ser-
via. Herzegovinia. Roumania and Turkey, the
present reforms inaugurated bv Turkey, her
attitude in the present European complica-
tion, and much interesting matter touching
Russian influenee in Servia, and the laws and
religion of the Turks, whom he spoke highly
of and credited with many virtues honorable
to the race."
Mr. Peixotto will deliver a free lecture this
evening at the Synagogue at 7.30 o'clock.

FKOH DOUBLE BAYOU.
Full Particulars of tlie Bavsgdoi
oi Small-Pox.
Dr. Angell, of this city, is in receipt of a
a letter from his son. Dr. E. P. Angell, who
lives at Double Bayou, givii^ particulars of
the suffering by small-pox in that section of
country. Following is an extract from the
letter, and contains all that is of public in-
terest:
Double Bayou, Jan. 27, 1S77.
PERSONAL.
Accident,
th is Mused
5 per week,
I have a little leisure to-night, and employ
it in giving a correct account^of the ravages
of the small-pox here The' following is a
correct list: In Mr. Welborn's family there
have been ten cases and three deaths. At
Mr Joseph's five cases, with no deaths. At
Sol. Barrow's five cases and no deaths. At
Mrs. Mitchell's two cases, no deaths. At Judee
Jackson's, two cases and two deaths. At Mr.
Moss's, two cases certain and two still doubt-
ful, with no deaths. Mrs. Patrick died. Three
or four cases of negroes still under treatment.
In all there are still under treatment, but do-
ing well: 2 at Mr. Moss's, 1 at Mrs. Mitchell's,
3 or 4 negroes, and 1 case at Sol. Barrow's. At
Little Ben Barrow's, 10 miles above here,
there have been six cases, and of these his
wife and oldest boy have died. At Wallisville
Dr. Fielden has died. In Cracker's Neck,
among the Hankamers, there have been five
cases, and Mrs. Wm. Hankamer has died.
At Smith's Point, in Mr. John Jack-
son's family, four cases, all out of danger—
making 38 to 40 cases and 10 deaths.
I overlooked Capt. Turner, the first case, who
is well, and omit the name of Reuben Spikes,
who is reported to have been sick at Carter's
Station. 20 miles above here, bu; of whom we
know nothing certain. The names of the
dead are as follows: Mr. Chas. W^lborn, and
two sons, James and Andrew: Miss Lottie
Jackson, Mr. Bud Maves, Mrs. Alice Patrick,
Mrs. Ben Barrow, Jr.,' and son Jett; Dr.
Fielden and Mrs. Wm. Hankamer.
I have boen thus particular in speci fying
names, etc., because I understand that the
wildest rumors have prevailed, and, though
the truth is distressing enough, rumor
generally multiplies the mortality.
The News is in receipt of the following note,
which explains itself:
HAD PROPER CARE.
Double Bayou, Texas, Feb. 1, 1877.
Eds. Xeics—We see in the Galveston News a
statement made by the refugees from small-
pox to your city to the effect 4* that small-pox
was fatal in this vicinity for want of careful
attention." This statement is a misrepre-
sentation. since nearly every one has had
medical attendance, and has been carefully
and promptly attended to in strict accordance
with the best standard of medical authorities.
CITIZEN.
Mr. James Jackson, writing to Dr. Blunt
from Double Bayou, says, among other things,
in his letter:
We are trying to establish a hospital for the
colored, in hopes of arresting its spread
among them. The whites have it in every
family in the immediate neighborhood, and
no hepes of stopping it here.
There has been in the last twenty-six days
seven deaths, all whites, in this immediate
settlement, and several on Turtle Bayou,
where the pest is likely to spread also.
Anything that you or Galveston city can do
for us in the way of furnishing nurses, medi
cine, medical aid, disinfectants, vaccine mat
ter, etc.. will be thankfully received by a se
verely afflicted people.
January 31—Since writing the above Dr.
Hambleton has arrived in this settlement
from Galveston.
February 1—We are in want of nurses, as
the people are worked down; but they will
still go night and day, waiting on the sick. No
more deaths. New cases every day, mostly
colored.

Looking Up His Record.
E. P. Claudon. special agent of the icholl3
government of Louisiana, arrived in the citv
yesterday morning, and returned on the af-
ternoon steamer to New Orleans. He came
to take the statements of Mr. W. J. Houlahan
in reference to the witness Littlefield. now at
Washington telling what he knows of Gov.
Weils and the rest of the Returning Board, of
wnich he <Littlefield> was clerk. Mr. Little-
field came to this city in 1871, and spent a few
months in various enterprises, the principal
of which was the opening of a boarding house
in company with a friend. The result of the
partnership proved Littlefield to be the best
business man of the twain when it came to
getting off with the cash. Mr. Houlahan be-
came acquainted casually with Mr L.. and
learned first of his '"funny" propensities at a
boarding house where both lived. Mr. Clau-
don got the information in reference to little-
field for use at Washi^tton during the sitting
of the Electoral Commission.

Personal.
Mr. P. H. Rose, formerly of this city
and for the past couple of years a resi-
dent of Paris, Ky., has returned with
his family, and asserts his intention to
make Galveston his permanent residence.
Mr. Rose enjoyed in Paris the same ex-
cellent reputation as a photographic
artist that he won for himself here, and
the press of that city bestowed a num
ber of very flattering encomiums upon
many of his specimens. Mr. Rose will
be cordially welcomed home by his
many friends in this city, and the pub-
lic may be congratulated upon having
restored to it the services of this accom
plished artist.
Go and see the Black Crook, with its
beautiful scenery, at the Opera Houre
to-morrow night. Get your seats to
avoid the rush.
A Fact Worth Knowing.
Are you suffering with consumption,
coughs, severe colds settled on the
breast, or any disease of the throat, and
lungs? If so, go to your druggist, D.
E. Schoolfield, and get a bottle of
Boschee's German Syrup. This medi
cine has lately been introduced from
Germany, and is selling on its own
merits. The people are going wild
over its success, and druggists all over
our country are writing us of its wo*
derful cures among their customers.
If you wish to try its superior virtue
get a sample bottle for 10 cents. Large
size bottle 75 cents. Three doses wil]
relieve any case. Try it.

A Parisian lady entered a shop at
Leipsic, and asked, on being addressed
in German, if they did not speak
French. " We can, madame," was the
reply, "but we do not—from patriotic
motives."
A severe winter like this has a wider,
more tiring effect than at first appear-
ance. Ice is likely to be so cheap next
summer that citizens who attend camp-
meeting will no longer have any excuse
for not drinking water.
Following is the inscription on the
headstone of John ^Dudley, one of the
colonial Governors of New Hampshire:
This modest stone, what few vain marble
can.
May truly say: " Here lies an honest man,"
Calmly he looked on either world, and there
Saw nothing to regret or there to fear.
Mrs. Charles McVicker, of San Fran-
cisco, the other day presented her hus-
band with a lot of Ihree girl babies, all
healthy, bright children, weighing 20i
pounds. The McVickers had been pre-
viously pleased with children to the
number of twelve, of whom but two
are boys.
This cruel comment aopears in the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle ; " A
writer on the New York H'orW talks
with sweet serenity of the 'educated
and brained metropolitan journalist.'
We were not aware that all of these
persons had been brained, but certainly
all of them ought to be."
A schoolma'am in New Bedford had
been censured by the committee and
suspended for the rest of the year for
boxing a child's ears. The Standard
says if a child must be struck, let the
blows be laid upon that part of the
body which nature has kindly provided
for that purpose, but not upon the por-
tion containing the most delicate ma-
chinery of the human frame.
A tramp was arrested in New Jersey
last week, taken bofore a magistrate
and sentenced for three months. The
justice, in explaining the sentence, re
marked that, while there was no evi
dence that the prisoner had been guilty
of any crime, he thought it prudent to
commit him, as he had the wild, hag
gard look of a man about to scart a
newspaper.
When a girl has just graduated from
the high school with a yearning for the
unfathomable, a man who has money
and belongs to the church may call on
her assiduously and inquire after the
health of her mother, but he stands no
chance with the other person who wears
a false shirt collar, but who looks sadly
into her eyes and says that to him she
is a saccharine conglomeration of ani
mated particles.

A Wonder-Working Remedy.
No remedial agent has ever been offered to
the sick and debilitated at all comparable to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, in cases of re-
mittent and intermittent fevers, constipation,
nervous ailments, rheumatism and disorders
involving constitutional weakness or phvsi-
cal decay. It literally " works wonders." The
botanic Ingredients which its spirituous basis
holds in solution act like a charm upen the
stomach, and through the stomach upon the
brain, liver, bowels and nervous system.
There is nothing in its composition that is not
salubrious. It contains some of the most po-
tent tonics of the vegetable kingdom and the
juices of the best aperient and anti-bilious
roots and herbs, combined with a perfectly
pure stimulating element. The Bitters are
peculiarly adapted to those engaged in ex-
hausting or unhea thy occupations, as by its
use strength is sustained and the ability of
the system to resist at mospheric and other
influences prejudicial to health largely in-
creased.
