Tue Spanish Minister of Justice has in- formed the Papal Nuncio that any pricst who alludes to politics ih his sermons will be ox- pelied from Spain. The interference of clergy- men in political matters seems to~be resented equally in France, Jrelund, and Spain. A Democnatic procession was fired into at Wilmington, Del, last night, and six of tho who were parading were seriously wounded, two fatally. The vuilding from which the shots were fired was gutted, and several of the parties who fired the shots wero very seriously wounded. Fovr Italian monks, connected with a Parisian monastery, huve been ordered to quit France in twenty-four bours. The Carmelite priest were expelled from their establishments in various paris of France yesterday. They made a show of resistance in some pluces, but to no purpose.

Some young men wagered with him that he could not drink three glusses of “red-eye” whisky, the young men to pay for the liquor. He accomplished the so-called feat, and died in ten minutes there- after. A glass of vinegar administered as antidote bad little‘or no effect. Tux Chairman of the ine Fusion Com- mittee says that the party will not nominate any persons on its Electoral ticket in the place of Solon Chase and James F. Turner, who bolted from the Fusion Convendon and aided in set- ting up an independent Greenback Electoral ticket. Chase and Turner do not want to have anything to do with the Fusiouists, and proclaim their wish not to be voted for on the Fusion ticket. AT a meeting of the Michigan Democratic Jeaders, held at Lansing, Friday, it was decided w niake overtures to the Greenbackers. The propusition to be made by the Democrats is, that if the Greenbackers put the Democratic. candidate tor Governor and Auditor on their ticket the Democrats will support the Green- back candidates for the other offices. The proposition ig not likely to be accepted by the Grecubackera, but even if it js the Republicans can bury the fusion ticket under 30.000 major- ity. Holloway, the Democratic candidare for Governor, bas promised the Liquor-Dealess’ As- Sociation to favor such legislation as it wants, ‘pe called Humboldt, ana $100,000 will be expended in its establishment. Should the colony thrive, there is a prospect that Delaware will become 2 Republican State, aud will cease to be a pocket borough of the Bayard family. Tne Rock River Conference of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church passed resoluuous yes- terday ‘requesting the Rey. Dr. H.W. Thomas, of this city, to withdraw from the communion of that Church on account. of his bolding opin- jons contrary to the teuchings of the Church, and therefore heretical. Dr. Thomas’ sermon, printedin Monday's Trrpuxe, seems to be tho utterance which gave most offense and ou which the principal charges of heresy were founded. A RESOLUTION has been introduced into the Vermont Legislature providing for an amendment to the Constitution of that State by i which the time of election will be chufiged from | September to the first Tuesday atter the first Mondsy in November, end changing the time for the meeting of the Legisiuture from Octo- der to January. The amendment will probably be submitted to the people, but it is doubtful if it will receive a majority vote. The Constitu- tion of the State bas never been amended, and itis probable the people will stand on tradition aud rofuse to amend it now. A.M. Kerr, of Richmond, Chairman of the Virginia Conservative State Central Com- mittee, Suys there fs uo foundaton for the state- ment that the Conservative Electoral ticket is ' tobe withdrawn. Mr. Keily says tho sturs is } absurd, the regular Democracy will stand by their colors to the last. Oa the other hand, itis positively stated that Chairman Barnum has sent a telegram to the Conservative Committee peremptorily ordering thém to withdraw their Electoral ticket. Should the ticket be with- drawn, it is stated that the houest Democrats of the State will refrain from voting. 1 Gey. Grant was accorded a yery enthu- singtic reception at Hartford yesterdxy. Bush- nell Park, where the reception tock place, was thronged with citizens and visitors from ail parts of Connecticut. Speeches were made by Gen. Hawley, Jumes G. Batterson, aud Mark Twain. Gen. Grant returned thanks to the peopie of Hartford, and feelingly alluded to his. generous: treatment by the American people geuerally. After the speech-making was over, the ex-President was escorted through the city | by the Boys ‘in Blue ana fhe Republican Cum- paiga Ciubs,of Hartford 4ud other Connecticut towns. c Frvax returms from the Indlana election give Judge Porter for Governor a majority of Zl41 over Landers, ‘The Republicans have elected twenty-tive Senators and fifty-seven members of.the Lower House, The Democrats of the Hoosier State continue to quarrel with each other, and when they zre not quarreling | they are trying to solve the problem whethor | their defeat is to be attributed to Landers or | English. Some Bourbons want English taken off the National ticket, but the preat financier is deterttined to stay on till he is kicked off. To draw public attention from thelr own dissen- sions the Democratic leaders have begun to bowl about fraud, but little attention ia paid them. 2 Tne storm of yesterday played havoc with several buildings in course of construction in this clty and vicinity. Signboards were torn from their fastenings, pedestrians of light weight had to put lead in their pockets, and shipping was hustled about in a rather rough manner. The only serious accident so far as known occurred at South Chicago, where partot the building in course of construction by the North Chicago Bolling-Mill Company was blown down, fatally injuring one man and se- rfously injuring four others. John H. Jones, the head mason of the building, isthe man whose injuries will prove fatal, itis feared. Aa unknown schooner is believed to have been wrecked about seven miles from the Chicago pier, and it is feared that all on board have perished, Tue Roman Observer (Oxscrvatore Ro- mano), the semi-official organ of the Vatican, says that the Pope has been several times re- quested to define his attitude in regard to the land agitation in Ireland. The Pope bas refused to interfere, however, giving a3 his reason that itis not his province to interfere in the political affairs of other countries: He bas, be says, re- quested the Irish Bishops to keep within the limits of the law, and to endeavor to maintain peace and quiet. Several of the landlord organs have derived great comfort from the fact that Archbishop McCube, of Dub- lin, bas denounced thé Land ‘League. Bishop McCabe is the Papal Legute in Ireland, and it ‘was naturally concluded that in denouncing the League he expressed the opinions of the Pope. The denunciation does not seem to have had much eff ‘The fact is thst the Irish people nowaduys vers generally resent the attempt of the Catholic hierarchy to dictate their political action. Is consequence of the railroad war any person desirous of so doing can go by rail now- adaysfrom Chicago to Kansas City for 50 cents by any of four routes, the Alton & St, Louls, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the Rock Island, or the Wabash Ruad. The latter corporation is selling unlimited tickets to St. Louis for $3, and to Kansas City for $6. The Burlington and Rock Isiand Rouds were brought into the fight yesterday when tho Wabash and Alton people began to cut the rates to points between here and 8t Loufs. The effect of the fight will be to permanently reduce rates between this point and St. Louis and this point and Kansas City. There will be issued during the coming’ week a furge number of tickets over the Wabash Road, anumber of which will probably not pass out of the hands of the scalpers for years, and the other roads must, asa consequence, reduce the rates, The people will st least benefit by the fight. Thero is no need of referring to the proverb or of repexting it. ——— ‘Ture moral effects of the splendid Repub- lican victories in Indiana and Ohio can- not be overestimated. Not only are the Democratic ranks broken up and demoral- ized, and the organization shattered past recovery, but the Republican voters are cor- respondingly invigorated and cheered.. One party is retreating: in disorder, panic, and confusion; the other advancing fushed with victory, in firm marching order, and con- fident of success. From this time on every source of Democratic supply will be closed or most grudgingly opened. The barrels will be hooped up and headed in. No patriot who has his senses about him will throw good money after bad, Local'and Con- gressional candidates in close counties and districts will stop their assessments, abandon their wigwaums to the mortgngees, and leave their opponents in undisputed posséssion of ‘the field. A repulse of this kind in October isso much more a calamity to the Demo- cratic party from the fact that it depends greatly upon money and “‘still-hunts” to carry elections, With the stoppage of sup- plfes will come something like a panic among the “ workers.” ‘Another large class affected by the Octo- per elections is composed of the young men. | Those wiao ute about to cast their first ballot i out Sith Fave an unconquerable aver- ‘sion t voting in the air. They want to help - ty erect somebody, not to go down in defeat with an unpopular candidate, or to link the memory of theit first act of citizenship with a historical blunder. : ‘The large number of voters who for worthy or unworthy motives rush over to the win- ning side will help to syell the majority for Garfield. There will be also many Demo- crats disgusted with the management of their party, or despairing of success, who will not go to the polls at all. With proper exertions on the part of Republicans every- where Garfield should be elected by a clear majority of the popular as well as. the Elect- oral vote, and should go into the White House backed by a Congress Republican in both branches, and @ united, harmonious, and happy people. THE NOVEMBER ELECTION IN COOK couUNnry. The election in this city and State will take place on the 2d of November, Being a State election, the law provides for the registration of voters. Though all persons who voted at the last November election are considéred registered in the precincts In which they then voted, it must be remem- bered that the number and boundaries of many of the voting precincts haye been changed, and hence‘ substantially new reg- istration-will be reguired. As the vote of the city will In all probability, ba much greater than at any previous élcction. voters will find it greatly to their convenience to haye their names registered. At the registry held Jast Tuesday buta small proportion of the voters attended and had their names entered on the poll-books of their precincts. There will be another op- portunity for’ registration on Tuesday, Oct. 26; the books will be open at each pre- cinct polling-place from 8 a. m. until 9p. m., and voters should be certain to take that last opportunity to have their names recorded. It must be remembered that, though the election ef Garfield is now beyond all reason- able question or doubt, the duty and the privilege of voting are none the less necessary and obligatory. The Democrats now mainly depend on the overconfidence of the Repub- Jicans; they are even looking forward in In- diana to the failure of seven or eight thou- sand Republicans to vote in November, under the impression that their votes are not needed, No Republican in Illinois should be de- ceived by tha belief that his vote will not be needed. His vote will count as well if the agrregate majority in.the State be 40,000 as if that majority be only 10,000. Every voter. however, is of direct value in determining the result in the county, orin some legislative or Commissioner’s district, and in some of these districts a few votes may have an important effect. It is possible for the Republicans by a full vote to elect two Representatives in all but one of the legislative districts of this county, and it is possible by the loss of a few votes in each district to lose five or six of these Kepresent- atives, There tre three Senators and twen- ty-one Representatives to be elected this year. Three Republicans and one Commu- nist Senator hold over. The election of four- teen Republican Representatives, which is possivle, and three Senators. will probably determine the por‘tical character of the next General Assembly That Assembly will have the important duty of districting the State both for the Legislature and for Cungress, which division is to stand for len years; hence the great importance of the legislative election this fall, ‘The people of this city have also to eleot four members of the County Board,—a body of men whose powers and functions are of great concern to the taxpayersof the county. itis our locat Legislature; and when the Democrats had control of it it levied and spent more taxes than the Legislature of Illinois. That Board was essentially purified a year ago, and itdepends upon a full vote in November whether the old, corrupt mana- gers shall be restored to its control again or not. The Democratic candidates for Com- missioners, with one exception, belong to the old, tax-eating, profligate crowd of bum- mers, who are longing and aching to get into the Treasury once more. Never in the history of. political parties in this State has there been a list of candi dates, with one or two exceptions, so well recommended by fitness and character as those presented by the Republican County Convention, All that is required to elect these reputable candidates is, that there shall bea full vote of the Republicans. The best of candidates cannot be elected if the voters are indifferent or apatheti¢. Of no Jess importance is the election of the four additional Judges of the Supreme Court. ‘These officers are to be elected for six years, and every citizen should take a personal in- terest in securing the best possible Judges who are to administer the law in this county. Last but not the leastin importance are the candidates for State offices,—Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, and Attorney-General. The Republican party first elected State officers in Illinois at the election in 1856, and tne administration of the State Government has, during the twenty- four years that have passed, been unstained by any misconduct, and has becn eminent for the integrity and ability. which have marked its history. No purer or abler State Gov- ermments have ever been known in any State of the Union than those which have been in office in Iinois since January, 1857. Gov, Cullom was elected in 1876, and is a candi- date for reélection. There has not been a breath of objection to his official conduct, and it is due to him that his faith- ful service should be rewarded by a general vote for him. An especial effort is making to defeat him by the election of Mr. Lyman Trumbull, This fact should serve as‘an ad- ditional reason why every Republican voter in the county should go to the polls and yore in November. The coming election, therefore, in this county has direct as well as general im- portance, There isno Republican objectica to Garfield and Arthur, and no Republican should neglect to vote for them. Their ma- Jority may be made 40,000 or more, if there be a full turnout of voters. The State ticket, the judicial ticket, the county ticket, and the legislative ticket all have too much im- portance for any voter to absent himself trom. the polls. The duty, therefore, is to register, and, being registered, to vote on election-day; this duty being performea, there need be no apprehension as. to the result in this county or in this State, ‘- Tre Board of Education has closed the controversy with the Public Library Board by overriding its equities and leasing the old Post-Oftice property to the First National Bank for seventy yeats. If this controversy were one between individuals, and the per- Son holding the exclusive legal title should exelnde the person holding the exclusive equity there would be but one opinion as to the injustice and wrong of the’ transaction. So far as the Public Library is concerned, it has been frozen out of all-right, title, inter- est, and claim to the property which the peo- ple of this‘city asked and obtained from the ‘United ‘States in behalf of that Library. This appropriation of the property by the School Board is complete, and the pretense that it bas secured any privilege to the Library is unfounded. The property is Ieased to the bank with the condition that the” tivo upper floors be rented to the Library, but no Imitation’ is placed on the amount of rent which the bank may demand, and that institution, treat- fug. the affair purely ag a matter of business, proposes, it is reported, to exact of the Library $10,000 a year. Tho bank is to pay arenton @ valuation which will equal $18,000 a year, to- expend, it is said, $100,000 on the building, to occupy the ground floor for its own business, and to rent the third and fourth stories‘to the Library. The result will be equivalent to— Annual rent... Interest on $100, Total cost to bank, Rent of third and fourths Reut of second stary for oflices, say. Total income. Leaving to be raid by the bank for the use of the first floor, $3,000a year. Of course the Library can be no party to such @ transac- tion on such terms, It can make much bet- ter terms with other parties than those granted by the Board of Education with ref- erence to proverty equitably belonging to the Library Board, and obtained from the Nutioual Government for the use of that in- stitution. “HANCOCK AND TRUMBULL” A meeting was helil at Farwell Hall last night, called, as-the posters announced, by the friends of * Hancock and Trumbull.” It appears that this did not mean that Judge Trumbull had been substituted on the Dem- ocratic tidket for Bill English, but meant simply that the meeting was to be addressed by Judge Trumbull in his own behalf and incidentally in behalf of Hancock, En- glish’s name was studiously ignored during the entire meeting. Judge Trumbull spoke for an hour and a half. professedly in reply to Secretary Sher- man, but substantially repeating the speech he has been making all over the State, and which has become fawiliar from constant iteration. The fundamental theory of the speech was to the effect that the Republican party, since he left it, is nothing more nor less than an enormous “lie,” and this epi- thet he rolled ont many times during the evening. i The position of the two parties on the question of the nature of the Government, as stated by Afr. Sherman, was controverted by Judge Trumbull, who since his experience before the people has concluded to expound the State-rights doctrine of the Democratic party in a mitigated form, and represent it as nearly that of the Republican party as possible. He quoted the resointion of the Re- publican National Convention which washeld in Chicago in 1860, and which nominated Mr. Lincoln, to the effect that to the several States belonged exclusively the right to regulate and control their own domestic institutions; and-he claimed that this doc- triue had been abandoned by that party, who now proposed to make the National tovern- ment a centralized despotism by the usurpa- tion of.all powers heretofore recognized as belonging to the several States. Lhe Txn- UNE. has repeatedly pointed out that the resolution of the Republicans at their Conyention in 1860 had exclusive reference to the institution of slavery, and that its pur- pose was to disclaim for the party dny-inten- -ddon touse the Genéral Government to de- stroy or interfere with ‘slavery in any State whare it existed.’ Tht was fully undefstood by the country at that time. There was po pretense nor allegation that the Republican party had any design.or purpose to interfere with any other domestic institution in any of the States. Nevertholess, that resolution in terms represented the general sentiment of the Republican party at that time no more truly than it does at this time. There Is no Republican party of this day, not even a traction of the Republican party, nor any of its statesmen, leaders, nor of its press, which proposes or advocates any measure to take from any State. the exclusive power to regulate and control its own domestic institutions, No measure having such a purpose is now pending or intended by the Republican party. During the War, slavery was abolished by an amendment to the Na- tional Constitution. That was as much a necessity of the War as was the killing of men in battle. No one now ques tions its wisdom or its necessity. Dur- ing and immediately following the War there was legislation made necessa- ry by the condition of the country resulting from the War, the most if not all of which was framed and supported by Judge Trumbull himself. All of this legislation preceded. 1870, up to which date Judge ‘Trumbull claims that the Republican party was pure, honest, and devoted to the sound principles which he is now advocating asa Democratic candidate, Judge Trumbull ut- terly failed, however, to. name or cite one single act or measure proposed, enacted, or advocated by the Republican party haying for its effect or purpose to take from any State the exclusive right to regulate and control its own domestic insti- tutions. No instance of any such inter- ference, actual or attempted, was mwen- tioned by Judge Trumbull, though he was profuse in his denunciations of the Repub- Nean purpose to make the National Govern- ment “a centralized despotism.” Judge Trumbull attempted some criticism of the Republican management. of the finances, but his argument dragged heavily. He wound up this branch of his speech by claiming for a Democratic Congress the glory of having restored the silver dollar which he In 1873 had yoted to demonetize. Judge Trumbull closed his speech with a fervid vindivation of that plauk in the Dem- ocratic platform demanding a “tariff for revenue only.” In so doing he held up the doctrine of protection to ridicule, pointmg out what he pronounced 'to be its fallacies, and its injustice and its injuries to American workingmen. He claimed that with the elec- tion of Hancock and a Democratic Congress to actin harmony with him, the Democratic party would reform the tariff by reducing the taxation to a revenue standard. HANCOCK’S TARIFF LETTER, Presidential candidates who have fallen into the sere and yellow leaf usually testify to the fact in sonte public manner. Horace Greeley, when his case was hopeless, nade @ desperate effort to retrieve his fortunes in a series of public speeches. Mr. Hancock, be- ing in a similar position, has adopted the vocation of a complete letter-writer. Before the Indiana election he seemed to be losing ground on account of Southern claims. He promptly disowned sympathy with such claims, though it was well known that in so doing he struck at,s principle dear to the hearts of his Southern supporters. Since the Indiana . election be has been led to believe that .the crushing defeat of his party. was due to the Tariff issue. Ile “has, “therefore, caused a “ spontaneous” correspondence to spring up between himself and Senator Randolph, of New Jersey, in which heprociaims himself an “incidental” believer in a Protective tariff. Gen. Hancock’s last epistolary effort will | pose, Gen.:-Hancock can, if he chooses, spit = z not increase his very limited reputation for sagacity or firmness. From the Democratic point of view it must be considered a de- plorabie blunder. For it fs, above all else, a confession that the Democratic party is under suspicion—or, more literally, under convic- tion—of heresy on the Tariff question, and itis a plump and unauthorized repudiation of the Democratic National platform itself. The policy.of it is indefensible. Suppose it were true, which is not the fact, that the Republicans carried Indiana. on the Tariff issue alone, how ean Gen. Han- cock’s abandonment of the Cincinnati plat- torm help his party? It is equivalent to a format surrender of Indiana to the Repub- licans. The Democratic campaign was fought out there till the end in defense of the “Tariff for revenue only” doctrine of the Cincinnati platform. By advancing a contrary doctrine Gen. Hancock merely throws the chief principle of his own party overboard, and offers his opponents nothing that they do uot possess already. If the letter ‘is, as seems probable, intended for effect ini New Jersey; Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, it will utterly fail of its pur- upon and cast off the platform of the party which nominated bim; but he cannot alter the record or character of the party itself, nor blot out from its declaration of princi- ples the last clause of the third resolution: “A tariff for revenue only.” Humillating as the concession is which Mfr. Hancock offers to the Protectionist wing of his party, be still - offers far less than his opponents. The Democratic party asa whole, spite of anything Gen. Hancock may say to the contrary, is pledged to “a tarlif for revenue only”; while the Repub- Jican party “affirms the belief that the duties levied for the purpose of revenue should 50 discriminate as to favor American labor.” With the issue thus distinctly made, the manufacturers and mechanics of the East cannot fora moment hesitate between the two parties, while the Free-Traders of In- diana and Iillinols, finding thenfaelves deserted by their own chosen leader, may well refuse to follow his standard in ahother fight. But the letter of Gen. Hancock {s some- thing more than atlunder. It is cowardly and insincere, The desperation of so ex- traordinary a manifesto, repudiating the party platform scarcely two weeks before the election, will bé apparent to the dullest mind. The Democratic candidate says, in effect; “Certrin Republicay citizens in In- diana object to my principles; very well, 1 abandon those principles.” It would appear that the voters of Indiana. castixated not merely Mr. Hancock’s ambition, but atso his conscience, and nearly killed beth. If any opinions of his or his party stand in the way of his elevation to the Presidency he will most cheerfully sacrifice them. He will rip the Cincinnati platform to pieces and imake kindling-wood of the fraguients, if that will help to make him President. He will believe or disbelieve, avow or disavow, affirm or deny anything which will help to bolster up his doomed and failing cause. In the short space of three months Han- cock has assumed three distinct and irrecon- cilable positions on the Tariff question. In his letter of acceptance he averred that he cordially subscribed to the principles of the Cincinnati platform, among which was in- cluded that of a tariff for revenue only. Just before ‘the October election he -said, in a letter to the editor of the Paterson N. J.) Guardian, that he regarded the Tariff as “a local issue,” in thfs, too, imitating poor Horace Greéiey, who proposed “ to relegate it to the Congressional districts.”.. Now Mr. Hancock comes out squaroly as a believer in Protection. Alf of these opinions cannot be genuine, or else Hancock is incapable of thinking connectedly on an economic sub- Ject. i And this is the man who, it wassaid, had the courage and the wisdom to control his own party if it should be put in pos- session of the Government! He was to be the sole bulwark between the Public Treasury and the Solid South. To him we were confidently to look for a de- fense of the resuits of the War and the credit of the Governinent against the assaults of the disloyal and ‘dishonest men in his own party. The people have double reason to be grateful, Since this special revelation of Mr. Hancock’s weakness and want of principle, that the administration of the Government for the next four years is not to be intrusted to him, CITY FACES AND COUNTRY FACES, The London Spectator in a recent issue takes up a curious subject for stady—name- ly: the formation of city faces, and how city life affects faces as compared with country life. It assumies that the humun countenance when exposed for any length of time to the influence of city life undergoes great modifi- cations, as is seen by a comparison of city faces with country faces, The latter, in- fluenced by the freedom and: solitude of country life, are less restrained and indrawn, and the contours of the face. such as the out- lines of the cheeks, the lips, and the region of the eyes, are left at liberty to expand nat- usally, while in the city these contours ara almost always indrawn., The Spectator ac- counts for this indrawing in two ways. Men come together in cities for the , purpose of money-getting, and money-getting involves a conflict. In this confilet every man has to fight for himself, and to fight every other man. Even the most honest man in business has to guard against others by the practice of dissimulation, and by never showing his real self to his fellows. His existence, therefore, is contradictory. His beart and soul prompt one course and he follows another, The re- sult of this living of two contradictory lives is thus stated: So long as the body simply puts itself fo ac- cord with the spontaneous impulses of the inner gpirit, the weur-and-tear of it {s comparatively trifling; but as soon as it begins to act independ- ently, or in opposition to those inner prompt- ings, the traces begin to manifest themselves, Ot the general character of these truces we have already spoken: the reininz-in of the mouth makes furrows in the cheeks where Nature intended no furrows to be: the inseruta~ bility of the eyes is attained at the cost of wrinkles which are unknown to the most vener- able suyage. A certalu rigidity gradually set- tles upon the features, and the scope and Varie- ty of expression becoine limited: because, the ms to look at nothing, it soon becomes evi- + dent that he sees everything. His thougnts are probably turned inwards, or sre engaged with e + iSapen, ia. bstrauted or preoccupied; but he i, fea Wosperoaily informs himself, out of the cor-* ner of bia eye, of evel that might tend to obstruct, hinder, or threaten him; ang though bi throngh a thousand, e passes people without Seoganterny: the yaze ort) trending on the toes of any one of; them, be will {pevitably recognize an acquaint- guce on the other side of the street, or calculate ;; fovan foch the rate of speed at which he must | make tho crossing in order to escupe the omal- bus from one direction and the hansom from the other. Such composure in the midst of tur- moil will strike the country visitor with astou- fsament. Doubtless, custom and memory will account for 2 large part of it; yet the impassive face would probably appear far less impassive than it does hud not the contraction of the facial musoles brought about by the constant agsuults of innumerable impressions, and the impossi- bility of responding to them all, become ins manner fixed. ‘The great distinction, as it seems to us, be- tween elty life and country life, as affecting the contours of faces, is that the former is 4 life of conflict, the latter a life of repose. Thera is conflict in the country, but it Is physical in character, the conflict withthe sofl forbread: but ft is a healthy conflict, that is crowned with rest at the close of each day and is renewed with zest on the morrow. It has no dissimulations, no concealments, no suspicions. The sun bronzes the face and the winds burm it, but body and soul ure acting together, and the countryman leads one life. Everything about him tends. to re- pose. There iss feeling of restin the hidls, and vales, and streams, in all the sights and sounds of Nature, and there is no sense of danger in nis surroundings, and, as the Spec- tator says, “ we let our faces alone, so to say; our sensuous organization fulfills its normal function of reaching outwards in questot im- pressions; itis never put upon its defense, never compelled to transform itself from a ehannel of communication with the outward world into buckler against such communi- cation.” When we speak of the struggle of life we always ‘mean the struggle in’ cities. ‘There is no struggle ‘of: life in the country. "There may be a struggle for life such as is involved in physical labor of a hard kind, but it is natural, harmonious, restful in its outcome, and merely the fulfillment of a great and healthy Inw of being. In cities this life is all struggle, and the struggle is artificial, being not only a struggle with our neighber but a struggle with ourselves; aud in this conflict,so great is the dissimula- tion practiced and the reserve maintained, that no man knows his neighbor and scarcely. Knows himself; whereas In the country each knows the other In spite of the small dissimulations which even husbandmen i may practice. These dissimulations, how- ever, are so natural that they do not amount to concealments, and do not in- yolye conflict, nor are they at variance with absolute repose. Restis the highest good, and that rest is found at its maximum fn the country, and shows ‘itself in the country face, which grows and expands naturally. | There is no rest in the elty, for rest in the midst of acontinual struggle would imply defeat. Under such conditions the city facd | cannot maintain its natural contuurs. The reserve of the individual shows itself in the reserve of the fave, and It is just as marked in woman as in man, and It {3 just as ditiieult to read in the one asin the other the inner | person from the physical signs of expression. in the face. —_ Srxce the 8th of June Gen. Garfield ‘has been a target for the shafts of the entire Democratic party. All kinds of missiles ; have been flung at bim. The Democratic | leaders, who ought to have known better, a3 | well as the hoodlums’ and ignoramuses, joined in the mud-slinging campaign, of which tho 380” ding wes the most. idiotic. Now it will be interesting to sce what effect this furious and combined attack upon the personal character and political record of the Republican candidate has had upon those who know him best. The approximate re- sult of it may be ascertained from the vote of the “ Western Reserve”? of Obio last Tues- day. Gen. Garfield has represented part of the Reserve in Congress for nearly twenty years. He was born and raised there. Every man, women, and child in it knows him by reputation and sight, and he has a personal acquaintance with nearly all of its adult innabitants, No more intelligent or critical constituency exists In the United States than in the Reserve counties. Thepeo- ple of that region heve the clear grit and pure morality of their Puritan forefathers, combined with Western ideas of progress and enterprise. Before the immense jury made up by this people last: Tuesday Gen. Garfield was tried. And what was the re- sult? The vote of the twelve. countles-con- stituting the Western Reserve last Tuesday compares with the vote for the Republican candidate in October, 1876, when Mr. Hayes (also an Ohio man) was candidate for Presi- dent, as follows: Republican maforitica—~ October, '76.

At the face having grown accustomed to tho contra- diction rather than to the declaration of wnat is within, and one form of contradiction serying for many varieties of declaration, the ranze of the facial movements naturally is circum- scribed. In the second place, there are certain phys- feal conditions of elty life which have an effect upon the face. The impression of every person unaccustomed to city life Is one of excitement combined with a constant sense of danger.
