She said Algernon was more romantic. He was poor, but not proud. Pearl wus the only daughter of a rich merchant. Everybody who got 2 good {ook at her said the old man was in great luck not to have another. Pearl could not be calldd protty, unless 2 man wanted to be arrested for unnatural lying. Jim knew this, He also knew that old Holly- hock was weli fixed, Hence he had asked for the daughter's hand with considerable confi- dence. The father looked at him steadily, and then said: “Bring me $1,000 to show that you have energy, and she shall be yours.” . This was inDecember. By July Jim had saved $250 out of 2 poker game, which he kept away from. He had & great scheme py which Pearl was to be won. It was race week. Jim had bet his $250 on a horse that was to trot that day, dnd should the ‘animal win he would Rave the $1,000 for old Holiyhock’s inspection. Feverish With excitement be hired a rig and started with Pearl forthe track. Butso gr2at was his anxlety regarding the race that he drove nimlesly around the city until late in the after- noon, When be reached the course a man told him that Belle of Pumpkinville had won the first two heats and Sandy Creek Maid (Jim's horse) the nexttwo. It certuinly looked soft forJim. In the excitement of the moment he deliberately drove bis buggy up to the very edge of the course, and, while the horses were scoring for the fifth heat told Pearl of what he had done, and how, when the race was over, he would ap- proach her parent with his future bride on oue uri and a bundle of pool-tickets under the other. Tears suffused her eyes ns she listened, but they were easily wiped away with a corner of her duster. At last the horses were off. Pearl stood up in the buggy, her golden ringlets tossed carelesly around by the breeze and her eyes fixed on Sandy Creek Maid. Ere long the noble animal shot to the fore, and entered the homestretch fur ahead of the rest. “Darling,” cried Pearl,in an ecstasy of joy, “that dear, sweet horsey will surely win.” “TIreckon,” said Jim. He was cool, but it Jooked like 9 dehd sure thing. In came the Maid, As-she neared the buggy in which the lJovers were seated, Pearl smiled. Unfortunate- jy the horse looked that way.

Since the Democrats of the Indianapolis dis- trict have refuyged to indorse the. Greenbacker, De La Matyr, as their candidate’ for Congress, the Greenbacxers of tke Ninth or Lafayette District are enraged, and threaten to strike Myers, who isa Greenbacker, running against Orth, from their ticket, because he has unre- servedly indorsed the Democratic platform. Everything does not seem to be very lovely be- tween the ‘“‘Dembackers” and “Greenocrats” in the Hoosier State. The Indianapolis Deutscher Telegraph writes in relation thereto: “If the Greenback party will occupy this position fineaning to strike Myers from the Greenback licket because he indorsed the Democratio piut- form], then there will soon be 2 wide ditference digscernible between it and the Democrats. It is a ditference in principle. which will cause thelr ranks, Which are very thin alrendy, to meltaway still more.” The New York Staats-Zeitung (D.) has done its level best since the nomination of Garfield to heap abuse upon and throw mud at thetepub- can party. Its hypocrisy and Dillingsgate is hardly second to that of the New Orleans Deut- ache Zeitung. The old damsel is considerably troubled by “vapeurs’"again since it becumes apparent that John Davenport will execute the Etection laws of the United States in New York to the very letter. Davenport will not permit on election-day’ in November next any of the thousands of fraudulent naturalization papers to be recognized which were issued by Demo- cratic Judges in 1868 rid thereafter. Abuse be- ing of no avail in this instance, that hypocritic- alsheet resorts to whining, and appeals to the generosity of the Republican purty in one breath and insults it in the next. After admit- ting the frauds committed in 188 in issuing naturalization papers, it as much ag claims that these frauds have ufter the lapse of twelve years ‘been’ sanctioned by time, and provecds as fol- lows: “But itis a different thing now, after twelve years’ time, to use these frauds ns a pre~ textin the interest of a miserable conspiracy. The judgment and sense of justice of the Re- publicans would defeat this planif this judg- ment and this sense of justice were not befor, ped and darkened by a sullen spirit. The'Kepublic- ans bate the adopted citizen moro bitterly than ever [a greaterfnlschood wus never uttered.—- ‘Tnrp.}, becuuse they see that they will not vote the Republican ticket. [as to the Irish of New York City, this may be the truth.—Trp,] There- fore the Republican masses listen to the plausi- ble plan of Davenport systematically to drive away the adopted citizens trom the polis on the day of election. Of course nothing should be left undone which might have. a tendency to awaken the better feelings of the Repub- licans against this infamous plan. [0 dear.) Should this not be successful, and the desperate fellow [Davenport] cannot be made to abandon bis infamous plan, he must be fought with all legal means to the bitter end. ‘This plan must be disastrous in its eifect for the Republican party, because the adopted citizens in the whole country willbe alienated from its ranks, and they will be forced to look upon the Demvcratio purty, Whatever may be its other faults, us their natural protector against the Know-Nothingisin of the ltepublicans.” For the information of the New York Stuats-Zeitung, THE Trrsons would state that the German adopted citi- zens of the City of Chicago, of the West and Northwest, do not propose to vote under any fraudulent naturalization porcis, whether. these Pers: sre Oo! the 1368 or any other “vintage.” When a German citizen is the innocent holder of a naturaliza- tion paper which Democratic political iniluence has fraudulently procured for him without his knowledge, he need only to be informed of the fact, and be will procure the leyal document; and, if it should be too late for thls ou election~ oer he would rather not vote than to violate e law. Z The Teras Post (Galveston) has the following in reference to the consistency of the Demo~ eratic party: “No party in the world has ever made such desperate jumps in oraer to possess itself of political power as the Democratic party of the United States. In 1864 it picked up the Union General McClelian, the grave-digger of the Potomac, In its platform it declared the War to bes failure. -But McClellan proved to be the failure instead; the War was at an end in a few months after the Democratic Convention. In 1868 1t came to the conclusion that a civilian must be President, and placed at the head of its ticket the statesman Horatio Seymour, of New York. Notwithstanding the most astounding frauds committed in the City of New York by the Demoerats in procuring fraudulent natu- ralization papers, Seymour was defeated and Grant elected. It then cut loose from all ifg former party traditions, destroyed its house- hold gods, and nominated the bitterest enemy it ever had—a man who bad damned the Demo- erats into the lowest pits of—the hot season, the Abolitionist and Republican.

Aden of murderers!” The Baltingore Deutscher Correspondent (D.) pbilosophizes" in reference to the astounding cost of the Civil War as follows: “In 1828 it was generally calculated that it would cost $600,000,000 to pay for the emancipation of the slaves in the United states. A politicul writerof that time, who took a great interest in this ques- uon, abandoned tinully thesubject, and declared that it was impossible to accomplish the propo- sition, because of the immensity of the sum necessary, which would be too heavy 2 burden, aswell for the Federal Government as tor the single Northern States.

During Jast winter the Secre- tary of the Trensury was required to Iny before. the United States Senate # detailed report of costs incurred in consequence of the late Civil War. This report is now before the people. Although somewhat mixed and at times incom- prebensible, it demonstrates one fuct quite clearly—i. e.: the Immense amounts expended to carry on the War. ‘There is-one seem to-whiok we desire to cali the attention of our readers, and that is: 407 million dollars for pensions. The Continent of Europe, with its many bioody wars during the lest twenty-tive years, has not expended that ainount for the sume purpose.

According to the Treasury reports, the loss. incurred during Buchanan's Administration was $3.81 fer every thousand dollars collected. Under’ Pierce the losses amounted to $3.50, under Van Buren $11.71, and under Monroe $8.58 forevery thousand dollars paid into the Treasury. During that whole space of time from 1920 to 1800 the sum of $3.58 for every thousand was the lowest loss in- curred in the collection of the revenues. Not- withstanding all the charges made about cor- ruption under Republican rule and administra- tion of the tinanees, the percentage of losses froin the saine sources ducing that time hardly. over reached as high ug n quurter of the above noted sums. Durlus the War, under Ligcola’s dministrution, the losses reached 76 cents per thousand dollars collected, under Grant 3tcents, and under Haves not quite J0 cents for every thousand dollurs. These figures speak more elo ents tan & hundred thousand ° promises made in Democratic platforms! They are the best testimony of the ability and bonesty with which the Republican party managed the péo- plo's financial business.” ——————>—__- THE GEORGETOWN CONVENT. On the first Monday in September, ns was announced in the advertisement printed in yesterday’s Trmunez, the Academy of the’ Visitation at Georgetown, D. €., will open for the fall term. It is, perhaps, hardly nec- essary to do more than merely to mention this fact. It is certainly unnecessary to say much concerning the high standing which the Academy of the Visitation, or the George- town Convent as it is nore generally called, has enjoyed as_ an educational institution for many years. It is known all over this country, and its standing has always been very high. The Sisters who have it in charge have always been celebrated for their educa- tional ability, and also for the yery admirable Manner in which they have managed the interests intrusted to their chay; ‘The convent is one of those places where the Scholars not merely receive a good instruc- tion, but are also well and tenderly cared for. None leave its sheltering walls who do not retain in after years an affectionate remem- brance cf the hxppy hours which they spent in that’ pleasantest of academies, under the care of the kindest and swectest of Sisters, eo a BISHOP FEEHAN, E -NasHvitze, Tenn., July 31.—It is reporte here that Bishop Feehan will in a few days receive official documents from Rome trans- ferring him from the Diocese of Tennessee to Chicago. Bishop Feelan has not yet re- eelved such notification. A STRONG CLAIM. BurFAaro, July 31.—3Mrs. Mf. J. Cahill, wife of the editor of the Chicago Pilot, called at the Holy Angel’s Academy to-night, took Possession of her four children, and carried them away. She urged her claim at the point of @ revolver, ac $$ ‘The most powerful factors in humanizing this latter-day world and bringing enlighten- Ment and good-will right into every family have been the better grades of pianos and organs.

The Great Bulk of the Aspirants Totally Unfit for the Offtees. On the surface the local political field is very quiét. It presents an unruffled calm, ‘The general public knows nothing of it, and the oldest inhabitant-is as green as the Democratic voter whoa few days ago put ain an appearance at Castle Garden. ‘The politicians have learned wisdom. That is to’ say, they have- become im- Pressed with the Iden that for their political salvation it is not necessary to blazon forth the fact that they are candidates for any oflice. Publicly speaking, there are few aspirants for any office within tho pitt of the people. Privately suggested, the candidates are as thick as blackberries, and each one is vigorously engaged in work- ing up what is known as the “ button- hole” campaign, Each one emulates the industry of the traditional beaver, and every- where through the wards can’ be found the tracks of those who are willing to serve the “dear people” at any price, ‘The fact that the Presidential campaign.is bound to be run on: principles, and not men,—that mud- throwing has played Itself out so far as the Presidential nominees are concerned,—has brought to the surface a heap of office-seek- ers who are totally unfit for the places to Which they aspire. Their name {s legion. Each one has his retainers and hangers-on, and in those quarters in which the politi- cians are wont to assemble the blowers and strikers can be found' putting in their work whereyer it will do the most good. With glib tongues they elaborate the claims of this man and that, and so.long as anau- dience of four or five can be had they make ihe .yetkln ring in behalf of their particular _At the State and National Repub- jican headquarters, the clerks are busy receiving and answering letters from various " portions of e State. Lhe most of these are full of hope, while a few others, notably from the Egyptian dis- tricts, represent the people jas still being wedded to the iduls of Democracy. ‘The Ke- publican speakers who have been assigned to that section are doing a good work in Southern Illinois. Their meetings are large- ly attended, and many of the ** moss-backed ” are taking Kindly to the knowledge of things as_they are, and not as they were when Hickory” Jackson was the Presidential nominee. ‘The Democratic State menagerie is still trav- eling.zround the country, with Gen. Parsons as chief proprietor and Mr. Lyman Trumbull as the principal Academic jester. He is vasting 2 vast amount of eloquence 1 trying to demolish what he very willingly" aided in * building, and of jrhich he was in fact the chief engineer. The Chicago‘end of the Parsous-Trumbull combination seems to be devoid of any en- thusiasm whatever. Fuller and Sheppard, the great moguls of the party hereabouts, insist that itis too early to. inaugurate a ; campaign here at the present time, for the - Feason, as they a allege, that the Masonfe celebration will materially interfere with their plans,’ Hence they are opposed to opening Democratic headquarters until about the 25th inst, THE GREENBACKERS ARE CUTTING avery sinall swath. ‘Tliree or. four weeks ago they imagined they were someboi They have learned better, notwithstanding Carer H. Hurrison, the “best Mayor, Chicago has ever seen, has endeavored to give them a local habitation and a name by nppointing one of their number s member of the Library Board. Carter still thinks that Lew Steward is running for Governor. Dixon, Springer, Allen, and the few others congregate in a back room on Clark street occasionally, and figure on the possibility: of capturing the Communist vote. their desperation they would willingly abandon all their principles and take up anything in sight, provided it would give hopes of landing into office Springer, Dixon, and a few bursted reni-estate men, who never had any capital but wind. Notwithstanding the .rate of interest in the West fs lower than it has ever been, and the country is richer than ever before, the Greenback “ confidence men ”—that is the proper name, for they are not .tuuatics—try to impress on the minds of the well-meaning Grangers that prosperity can only be reached by an unlimited and irredeemabie currency. It is a pleasure to remark that the Greenback adherents represent a suall percentage of the votes. FOR CONGRESSIONAL HONORS there are very few new aspirants, Previous issues of Tire Tummune have described them all, with yery few exceptions, In the First District’ no one seems to have the ead. Some of the candidates are work-~ ing with considerable vim, but it can- not be said that anyone has the pole on either side, The Republican aspirants are Ewety A. Storrs, William Aldrich, and Ab- ner Taylor. On_the Democratic side there are mentioned Thomas Hoyne, Melville W. Fuller, and John Mattocks, . ‘There are numerous Republican candidates in the Second District. . Herman Raster, of the Staats-Zeitung, and Albert A. Sprague have been ‘suggested, but both are unwilling to make the race, owing tothe pressure of, other business. The Jive candidates are ‘Gen. Martin Beem, Col. George R. Davis, ain Bennett, Commis- sioner Spofford, ond W. BE. Mason. Each one claiing a ward or two, but neither seems to have goods enongh in store to bank on with any reasonable show of suec- cess. Carter Harrison would necept the nomination if he were sure of winning. He would like to be Congressman; failing in that he would not ‘object to being reélected Mayor. He fears that a de- feat for Congress would imperil his Mayoral chance. Thus °“the _ best Mayor” oscillates between a | Turk ish bath and a preparation of sub~ muriate_of mercury.

Stiles, but as far as can be learned both gentlemen refer joining the cxpounders of the law under the droviston increasit.g the Suprema Court ju- ‘on the North Side, Hiram Barber, the present Republican incumbent, would Jike to make the second trip. The taxpayers of the district favor the Iton, E. B. Washburne or the Hon. C. B. Farwell, either of whom will accept the nonunation; but they decline to enter the arena and make afight for it. The Democratic aspirants are John V. Le Moyne. A.C. Storey, #ranklin L. Chase, and Perry H. Smith, Jr. The Agnew- Corcoran-McHale faction favor the “son of his father.” : ‘Phere are about thirty candidates for Sher- iff, and, as far as can be ascertained, Seth Hanchett, Republican, and D. W. C. Leuch, Democrat, have the pole. . If Charley Kern could be assured of getting a fair slice of the German vote he would put up his lightning- rod on the Democratic temple. For the other county offices _and for Legis- lative honors there are enough candidates ta fill every county in the State. ‘The great pulk of them are utterly unfit for the posi- tlons which they seek, and should be merci- Iesly slaughtered at the Conventions, A few of the old incumbents are worthy of re- election, but the: vast majority should be relegated to the obscurity whence they pee THE DEMOCRATS ren esterday held primaries in eac!

It manu- factures oxygen in its allotropic or concen- trated state, known as ozone, which is dif- fused throughout the atmosphere of a room, destroying by oxidization the foulness and carbonic acid gas generated by respiring lungs, ill ventilation, bad sewerage, or by other causes, and substituting the ozone of the mountains, It is claimed that the most vitiated atmosphere can be rendered pure and balmy by the generator, which is a sim- ple and somewhat ornamental piece of furni- ture. Itis circular in form, avout fourteen inches in height and nine inchesin diameter, with a dome-shaped top set upon an orna- mental figured base, containing cups in which the chemical action takes place, generating the ozone which is dif- fused through the aumosphere by infiltration through the porous, earthenware dome. The generators are dn successful use in neatly all of the public buildings of New York,—munic- ipal and Governmental,—and in newspaper oltices, banks, police stations, public schools, and in private residences, and have just been Introduced into this elty.. One of them can be seen in the composing-room of Tu: Trin- UNE, Where its beneficial effeets.are quite no- ticeable. They are caleulated, on account of their cheapness and simplicity, to come into general use, and will prove exceedingly val- uable In our schools, churches, theatres, pub- lie buildings, stores, manufactories, and_pri- vate dwellings as well, where from lack of ventilation, or from other causes, the atmos- phere needs purification. It is'snid to bea Specific ulso against certain diseases of a malarial type, as it is claimed that the oxygen destroys the germs of disease.
