'ORGANIZE Republican clubs everywhere HAVE the Greenbackers inquired into the labor record of some of their would-be leaders ? Of course it is a hard one—har-1- working, we mean. If they were not ex posing it so much themselves, we would do it for them. ANDREW H. DILL, the Democratic can didate for Governor, when a youth, resided two years in this town, in the house now occupied by H. Greenberg's clothing store; but this is no reason why the Republicans should give him any "complimentary votes.'' SHARP competition is the order of the day, among the first class hotels in New York. With one or two exceptions, they are trying to keep their old trade while adhering to their previous high rates. The Grand Central has reaped much benefit from this by quietly "cutting" the rates from one to two dollars per day. outside DILL, Fertig, Ross and Africa. These four were young men when the rebellion was commenced by the firing upon Fort Sumter—the youngest 23 and the oldest 29—but not one of them volunteered to prevent the destraction of his country.— Had there not been such men in the land as General Hoyt and Captain Dunkel we would be in a sorry plight to day.

NORTHERN DOUGH-FACES.—When the line of communication between the North ern and Southern Democrats was inter rupted in IS6I by a line of Union soldiers extending from the Mississippi to the At lantic, the term "dough-faces" went out of fashion. Previous to that time the South erners bad always been able to put what ever expression they pleased upon the countenances of their political allies in the 14434fliptutt ttntirw the war the latter wore the same long faces that were given them when their former moulders and manipu lators left the Union.

Soon after finishing his collegiate' course he became Principal of the Union Academy at Warren, and continued in charge until appointed Superintendent of the schools of Warren county., in March, 1865. Daring the summer of 1306. be en tered the office of Judge Westmore, of Warren, as a student of law, and in Sep tember, 1867, he was admitted to practice in the several Courts of the county.

In the elegant furnished drawing room of a west end mansion sat a young man, whose genteel bearing, broad, noble brow, from which his chestnut hair was tossed back in graceful carelessness, and large, thoughtful eyes bespoke him to be one of nature's noblemen. He was waiting im patiently for some one; for, as a slight noise was heard on the landing, he would start, and fiz his eyes eagerly upon the door. At, lto, apparently unable t.) sit stilt ate' longer, he arose, and walking to the, W - dos'', 'stood 'Pencil* vervtusily-on bite lals,. and watched with listless eyes the chame leon-like crowd that passed. While thus occupied he failed to hear a slight rustle as a girlish figure entered the room and gliding softly a his side ,touchad him lightly upon the arm. His quick start and the loving manner in which he gathered her to his heart showed at a glance that they were lovers. While they hold sweet converse let us pause a moment while I describe my hero ine. She was of medium height, of a slender, delicate figure, and possessed of a name less grace of movement, which, added to her other charms, had won her the name among her many admirers of "Nellie the Irresistible." Her beauty was of the true blonde type, and clad as she was in a shining blue dress she looked worthy of the name. On her arms gleamed with a tawny lustre broad golden bands ; and from one of these, suspended by a small chain, hung a tiny heart•shaped locket, one side of which bore a forget•me-not set of turquoise, with a brilliant diamond sparkling in the centre. Guy Hartley, for such was our hero's name, had called, glad of an excuse, to ac• quaint Nellie with some arrangement which he bad just completed with regard to their soon approaching marriage; and after a short time passed in pleasant conversation, he reluctantly rose, and bidding a tender adieu to the fair girl, left the house with a firm, elastic tread. Hardly had he taken his departure when the front door bell again rang, and once more a young gentleman was ushered into the drawing-room. The newcomer was tall and slight, with jet black hair, and a piercing look in the black eyes that boded po good to an enemy. As he sank into a phair, something glistening upon the floor caught his eye; and as he recognized it he could scarce refrain from a shout of pleas• are ; Fred Acton had long been the secret rival of Guy, each striving to win the hand 'Of fair Nellie Pomeroy. And now, as he held in his grasp the tiny locket, which by some evil chance had become detached from the bracelet on Nellie's arm, he felt that he possessed an almost certain means of revenge on Guy, and stood, perhaps, a better chance of winning We' Air girl, for his wife ; for the -Teske!, of he knew, had been Guy's first fove to Nellie; and was prized as one of her choicest posses. sions. At this moment the footman entered the parlor, presenting Miss Pomeroy's regrets, and a request that Mr. Acton would ex cuse her that afternoon. The truth was that her womanly intuition had long divined the secret which he had thought known to himself alone ; and, having ever treated him with polite indifference, she felt lees inclined now than ever to endure a tete a-tete with him. Rising as the footman entered with her message, and scarcely able to conceal the pleasure it afforded him at this moment, when he was still tremblino• ' with the fear of having been seen as be hastily hid the shining bauble in his bosom, he left his compliments and departed. • . Going directly to a jeweler's, he pur• chased a small ring, *with which he fasten ed the locket securely to his watch chain, and then sauntered down the street, in the hope of meeting Guy. His wish was des tined to be fulfilled ; for he was shortly gratified by seeing Guy approaching, with a serene, contented look on his handsome face. As they stopped to chat, Fred, as if anx ious to conceal something, placed his hand carelessly on his watch chain ; but Guy, as was intended, noticed the action, and said, laughingly : "What is that you are so jeal ously guarding, Fred ? A love token from some fair lady ?" HUNTINGDON, PA,, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1878. "Yes; but for fear that it might blight your hopes in that direction, perhaps I had better not show it to you just at pres ent," laughed false Fred, nervously. "Oh, never fear for me !" said Guy, "for I have already caged my bird, and so shall not prove a dangerous rival to your suit." "Well, then, behold !" replied Fred, re moving his hand, and disclosing to view the tiny locket. Guy turned as pale as death ; but mast ering his emotion by a violent effort, he playfully insisted upon knowing the name of Fred's charmer. "Oh, come," said Fred, "you are feign ing innocence; for surely you must have often seen this trinket upon the arm of fair •Nell the Irresistible," who has this day bestowed it upon me as a pledge of her true love." Guy had stood as if turned to stone while this flippant speech was being rattled out, and then, with a few common place words, passed on ; but his tread was not as free and elastic as before he met Fred, and his head, which then had been raised proudly, was now bent forward dejectedly ; for a dark cloud had suddenly arisen, which threatened to overshadow forever the bright morning of his happiness. Fred watched him pass on with a sar donic smile on his handsome yet sinister face, and thought to himself, "Ah, my fine fellow, 'there's many a slip 'twist the cup and the lip,' as you may find to your cost ; and then you will know the consequences of standing in the way of Fred Acton 1" * * * * * That evening, in her luxurious home, Nellie watched and listened in vain for the familiar footsteps she had learned to know so well ; and she retired to rest at last, sad aed dispirited, and with a dim sense of impending trouble, that was yet too vague to shape itself into connected thought. The next morning, as the family were gathered around the breakfast table, a ser vant entered the room with a note ad dressed to "Miss Pomeroy." Grasping it eagerly, spasmodically, Nellie tore it open, and with blanched face read the following laconic note: MudAz : All is over between us. Thank God I have discovered your perfidy before it was too late. I had the fullest confidence in you, Nellie; but that is past now. I leave for France to-morrow, never I trust to revisit this country which would now be but a sad home to me. Your once devoted lover, GUY HARTLEY, Mr. and Mrs. Pomeroy, occupied in their own conversation, had not notice-1 the sudden paling of their daught•er's face, as she hurriedly scanned the familiar wri ting, till, as she reached the final termina tion, her eyes closed, and with a low moan of agony she sank to the floor in a death like swoon. * * * * * * For five years Guy wandered through Europe ; for five years he vainly strove to find forgetfulness and happiness in con stant excitement and change of scene; but failing in this he had at last resolved to visit again the land of his birth, if only to mark the ravages which time bad made smong his old friends. So he returned to I,ondon. Not once had a suspicion of Fred Ac ton's treachery crossed his mind, for to Guy he had always shown the better part of his nature; besides the proof of Nel lie's duplicity had seemed too conclusive to admit of any lingering doubt his love might have suggested. And Nellie 7 Thrown into a nervous fever by the cruel note from Guy, she wavered long between life and death ; but finally her perfect constitution gained the victory, and she again mingled in the gay world of fashion ; but a certain sadness was perceptible in her manner, and a weary look in her blue eyes showed that her heart was not interested in the gay scenes by which stie was surrounded. Vainly had Fred Acton sued fur her hand. Feeling that he was in some man ner connected with Guy's mysterious be haviour, she had only scorn to giVe him.— At first she had hoped that some trivial act of hers had displeased Guy and be would soon return, but as the weeks rolled on, and no word came from the absent one, she finally ceased to expect him. Fred Acton, after repeated refusals from Nellie, had at last given up all hopes of winning her hand ; but loving her still, as much as his selfish nature was capable of loving, he attempted to drown his sor row in the wine cup ; and, with drinking and fast horses, was rapidly eating up the handsome property left him by his father. One day, while riding at break-neck speed, his horse, frightened at a fluttering rag, shied, and threw him. When the hastily summoned physician had examined his wounds, he pronounced him mortally in jured. Knowing, then, that fur him all thoughts of revenge on Guy were useless, and that he must soon render up an account of his evil deeds, his thoughts turned to Nellie, with a feeble wish that he could undo the wrong he had done her.. So" he, di Mated a letter, confessing his sin, begging her forgiveness, and containing the locket, and dispatched it to the injured girl, who, true woman that she was, could not but pity the dying man, bitterly as he had wronged her, and, that he might not die thinking himself unforgiven, sent a note to the hotel to which he had been carried, but the messenger reached there only in time to hear that the unhappy Fred Acton had breathed his last. * * * * * * Guy bad supposed that Nellie and Fred had long since married ; but hardly had he set foot in London when he was recog nized and accosted by one of his old friends, who, among the gossip he hail to relate concerning Guy's old circle of acquaintances mentioned the fact of Fred Acton's death, and also said that Miss Pomeroy was as beautiful as ever, but unmarried. At this Guy's heart throbbed wildly, and his brain almost reeled with the idea that perhaps his own rashness had dashed the cup of happiness from his lips Could there have been treachery in Fred Acton's conduct, and had he wronged Nellie all these weary years. Wildly he asked himself these questions while on the way to his hotel; and by the time he had arrived there he had resolved that be would at least see Nellie and have an explanation with her. Once more be turned his steps toward the well-known house where he had spent the happiest hours of his life ; once more he was ushered into the familiar room, where even the pictures on the walls seem to smile on him in friendly recognition. Bronzed by travel, the old family servant failed to remember him, so he gave no name, merely request ing to see Miss Pomeroy. Nellie soon appeared ; but hardly had she crossed the threshold, when the eyes of love recognized him, and with a wild scream of "Guy, dear Guy !" she was folded to his heart. Long explanations followed. Nellie told of the loss of her locket on the day of Guy's last visit, and how she had regretted it, being his gift. She also told of the dying confession of Fred Acton, and his restoration of the locket, which she showed him, worn on a blue ribbon about her neck. Guy, penitent but loving, was fully for giten by his deeply wronged Nellie, who, in the joy of such a reunion, had no heart to blame him. Soon after there was a grand wedding in the stately mansion ; and although the fair bride's ornaments were milk white pearls, there hung suspended from the central cluster of her necklace a tiny locket, bearing on it a blue forget-me not. ,titti Visaltanß. The National Party. EDITOR JOURNAL—SIR:—The article of your correspondent which appeared in your paper of the 31st ult , in relation Ito the above named party, has stirred up the latent wrath of a pair of its champions, and they have scattered themselves over a considerable space, in the last issue of their organ—the Greenback Nationalist—to tell its numerous readers they were mad. They do not attempt to answer his article, but drop down to scurrility—the principal ele ment of their production—the subterfuge of old crones, bullies, and vulgar block heads. Here are two articles, from two leaders of this mongrel party, in which the close observer will fail to discover more political philosophy than might be expected from a toad. If these two articles are in dicative of the power in that party, it is certainly not a very formidable concern. Calling people bad names may tickle the ears of the vulgar, but men of mind are not caught in such small traps; nor does it prove or disapprove stubborn facts. In his former article, your correspoadent said that everything contemptible and mean was falling into this mongrel party. The student of history, and the close observer of passing events need not be told that that was a pale picture of the truth. The acts of the Communists of France, the most daring attempt to establish their pernicious doctrine, are too well known to need notice. The Socialists of Germany say "we have dethroned God and require neither king nor ruler." The Nihilists of Russia present similar doctrines. However much these may differ in minor details, their ultimate object is absolute liberty, that is, every man shall do as he pleases without re straint, except accumulate property more than his neighbor; nor shall any property ever descend to children, bat at a man's death all his possessions shall become com mon stock, measures that would drag the . human family back to barbarism. Thew abominable doctrines have been planted in the soil of our free republic, and are stealthily growing, and their advocates are found nowhere but in the National party. Put them in power, and the very founda tions of society broken up. The institutions Americans love, the Bible, your religion, your Sabbaths, and your God, will go down together, and over their ruin vice universal will reign. Let the people of Huntingdon county, whatever their con dition be, beware of the glossy basilisk; it may yet sting you to death. The writer of the first article in the Nationalist charges your correspondent with being Cameron's slave. This shows how closely he reads, and his ability to comprehend. We are not Mr. Cameron's defender, but we may ask, why is so much obloquy heaped upon him ? An observation on the habits of the canine family may explain it. It is remarkable that when a weighty dog gets hungry, and sets up a howl for food, all the little curs begin to bark, and continue long after the big fellow has obtained his rations. Suppose Mr. Cameron is the bad man his enemies say he is, who is respon sible ? No man can hold a position under our government when the people say he shall not. The very followers of this Na tionalist champion, have their portion of responsibility to bear for any bad acts Mr. Cameron has committed. If they are not able to dethrone the Republican Simon, what will they do with the Simons already in the National Greenback Labor Molly Maguire party? "You assail trades unions," says the writer, "and the only reason you have for doing so is, because they have for an object the mutual benefit of business, and:the laboring classes." Such a state ment as this exposes a measure of ignorance not allowable in the leader of a party.— Trades Unions benefitting business! Who ever heard of such a thing ? Associations organized to plunder and defraud their employers, to dictate law and terms for them, saying whom he may employ, and whom he shall not; to loaf and drink rum in the stench boles of the eitii.s; who shut out their own children from learning use ful callings, and compel them to grow up as thieves and robbers, or hoodlums in the street. Associations whose members are the most abject slaves, for whose laws tyr anny is no name ; whose members will permit their wives and children to suffer want, while they hug the unholy delusion ; nine tenths of whom are the "scalawags" of the old world. Is this the way to ben efit business ? The National banks always come in for a portion of defamation from such writers as "S. G. I." Why not in clude your private banks, as well as the "corner skinners." The first can get but six per cent. legally for the use of their money, while the last take the meat and return the bone. Why "strain at a gnat and swal low a camel ?" When we fire we aim at the whole "caboodle." This gentleman wants to discuss his platform. A contest over a dead crow would be profitless. We shall permit an abler defender than we are to meet S. G. I's catalogue of charges against the Republican party. This much, however, we may say for it. A party is not responsible for the acts of its members. As well might the Saviour of sinners be charged with the rascally acts of the scoun drels who brought Him to the cross. If the Republican party is responsible for all the wrong done during its control of the government, it certainly should have credit for whatever good was done. And during eleven years of its power there were 37,000 miles of railroads built in the coun try, at a cost of $4,000,000,000. These roads were paid for as built, and nine tenths of this enormous sum went into the hands of working men. These roads now employ thousands of men who, without them, would be in S. G. I's crowd denouncing the men who have money. To review the second article in the Nationalist may be time lost. But as the writer wants notoriety it would be wrong to slight him. When reading his article, a pair of the wise man's proverbs came so strongly to mind that we cannot pass with out quoting them. They are as follows : "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be like unto him." "Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit." We don't know what these mean exactly, but they are significant. We have been at a loss to account for this remarkable production. The only conclu sion we can arrive at is, that it arose from an over-dose of cross.grained mush, which soured upon his stomach. His article is much like Paginina's fiddle, which had but one string. Had it been in the follow ing shape the people would have been quite as much enlightened : MR. EDITOR—SLR :—Liar—Liar. PlcKwrcK He blows a fearful blast at anonymous writers. 'Tis a wonder he did not follow it into the horn—the opening was cer• tainly large enough. To review his real 003 for which, would be stopping to kick at a very small dog. It is of no conse quence who the writer is if his doctrine is in accordance with facts. We don't want credit; we don't want notoriety; we don't want an office, all of which this gentleman does, and we are reminded that "Fools' names are like their laces, always seen in public places." As this gentleman has recently fallen into the mongrel party— lately circumcised—he should tarry at Jericho until his beard has grown, before he begins to "splurge" about what he ev idently knows nothing. He tells his readers that he was a dele gate to the Toledo and Philadelphia mobs, and great and good men were there, (there is no doubt that, at least, one mighty man was there.) We call them mobs, because no other name fits them so well. We have had the dubious honor of attending work ingmen's conventions long before this gen tleman had put off his bibs, and we have yet to see une any other name would de• scribe. Three classes of people attend workingmen's conventions. The first, as leaders generally, are the political bum mers who have been- kicked out of every other party. The , second is a lot of "blatherskites" in whom there is nothin,,,l but wind; comparing them with a pond of frogs hits them exactly, while one blows in the other blows out, and some times all blow out together, "then let imagination run." The third class is a few respectable men who generally go away disgusted with the whole effort. Now, if this champion had two ideas above an oyster, be would admit at once that we have given a fair description of the mobs he attended. Workiugmea of Huntingdon county, this Boanerges is "blarneying" you. He pats you, he smiles on you, and tells you, how he loves you, and what great things he will do for you, but mark, through him you will never enter any public institution, unless it be the jail or poor-house. If be were so anxiculain_advance you.r..interests why are you not among the candidates of his party ? Why not take a `wood-chopper or stone•smasher ' for Judge of the Su preme Court instead of Judge Agnew ? If you are capable of making laws you are certainly able to explain them. Is there a workiugthan on the ticket ? Remember the words of the poet : "Walk into my parlor, Said the spider to the fly." "A secret organisation. It is not true, Mr. Trite, and yon know it," says this blusterer. It is a secret organization, and if this new fledgling don't know it he bet ter prolong his stay at Jericho until he learns it. A leader of this mongrel party said to a Cleveland editor, "We adopt secresy be cause some of our men are employed by men opposed to us." An Indianapolis leader says, "We adopt secresy because if known we might not get accommodation in bank." A Massachusetts leader-says, "We adopt secresy, because many of oar people are employed in the mills whose proprietors are opposed to us." The X. Y. Sun says, when surveying the political field, 'ewe can not forecast the future for the new factor, the Nationalists, working in secret, their strength carr not be known." Among the resolutions passed by the N. Y. Nationalists, whieh *ssembled at-Auburn a few days ago, we find the folloWing : Resolved, That we do not recognize, or affiliate, with any secret or questionable or ganization whatever." We know of but three political parties, in two of which we know there is no hi ding, so that this resolution must refer to something in the third party, and that is the mongrels. But what is the object of the resolution ? Why, just this: Auburn is an agricultural district, and farmers are not ready to fall in with the secret tom foolery of the swabs of the city, and to catch the farmers this resolution was adopted; but no such resolutions are ever heard of in the cities. But coming squarely down to our own county, we may obtain some evidenee.— Some time ago a letter appeared in the JOURNAL, from some one in the upper end of the county, urging the organization of some kind of a political lodge, and telling who had the authority to organize it. But once more. Not long since your humble correspondent met with a company of men for a certain object, and the meeting was turned into a political measure. In the discussion oneorthe party - ilia - the fol lowing language : "If we brgilaza a party, we must take a solemn oath that we will not tell man, woman, or child what we do, or who belongs to it, and this we will re gard a paramount oath." The organiza tion was formed, and to-day is a constituent element of the National party. It is a secret political party, made up of sworn cliques and clubs, and those who attempt to deny it may as well tell us that the sun don't shine. Most parties start out with some degree of purity. .But. this one em braces murderers, with their aiders and abettors, rioters, and house-burners in its very infancy. They tell you they are looking for redress for wrongs by legal means, but if, as the Dutch Communists of St. Louis said a few days ago, with muskets in their hands, if we don't get them, theoe will be our ballots. Now a word to the Republicans of the county. The Democrats will affiliate, or assist this new fledged party, but when they come to vote they will go solid for their man, and not one vote will be taken from their force. To the farmers, we would say especially, don't be caught with chaff. Every vote you give for the mon grels is strengthening the influence that will sap the foundation of your liberties. Far. better to be "Simon Cameron's slave," than to be sold "body, soul, and breeches," to the very devil. We are dared to come to the surface, but we cannot do that. What would we, a poor little shepherd, with our little poke of pebbles amount to before snob a terrible giant, whose tread shakes the earth, and who sounds like a drum, and from the same cause. Ah, no, we shall stay in our little lodge in the wilderness, until the hurricane, raised by this mighty giant, is passed. TRITE. rip Am 40 SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL. • "The Absent-Minded Man." The phrase "absence of mind," does not imply that a man has no mind, but only that his faculties have gone off, as it were on a visit, or that "the man's wits have gone away wool gathering"—as it is ex pressed metaphorically—to the neglect of those duties that need attention at home. It is very difficult to keep up a pleasant conversation with a person of this descrip tion. While you are talking in the most interested manner, his eyes soon become fixed on vacancy, and it is evident that he pays no more attention to what you say than he would if you spoke Choctaw. Some years ago there was a very learned clergyman, anal when the bell rang for church be was unable to find his boots. After searching everywhere his wife dis covered them in the oven where, just after a heavy bake, the good man had put them to dry. It hardly need be added that as boots they were afterwards of little service. A distinguished divine would sometimes write a letter to one person, address it to a second and then send it to a third. No one ever cared to loan him a horse, for he was almost sure, if he rode out, to return on foot without the animal. He forgot his own weddinc , day, and went off gudgeon fishing at the eventful hour when his bride was waiting for him. Absentmindedness may, conic from very many causes, and is not necessarily the in- , dication of a strong or weak intellect. Sir Isaac Newton might forget wbether lie had 1 eaten his dinner or not, because his mind was occupied with great thoughts ; Oat another man would be so absorbed in his dinner that the greatest thoughts uttered, in his presence would not receive the slightest attention. Some human beings waste half their lives thinking about nothing. The power fixing the wind upon one subject to the, absolute exclusion of everything else, is a rare gift.. The ability to collect the snat tered facultiei of the mind in a sudden' emergency, and brieg them to bear ' and directly upon the matter in haul, is: also a rare but most desirable gift. "- Whatever one does he ought to give at tention to it. If it is not worth doing at all, let it. go—or do it wen. Mental disci pline means simply the ability to concen trate the thoughts. The wind soon oblit erates the impression made upon the sand; but the inscription that is cut in the rock may he as legible a thousand years hence as it is to day. Memories of Mount Vernon. A correspondent of the Louisville Cour ier-Journal writes : We wander all through the sac, silent mansion. We look at the spindle-legged furniture, and at a rusty key on the wall, the key of the bastile. We see Washington's vest and small clothes in the glass case, and a lock of his hair ? and orig ihal letters by his hand and Lafayette's. We see pretty Elenor Eusti's Wedding gift harpsicord, that her stepfather broUght from foreign lands for a surprise when she left her girlhood's home. The pretty Ele neor is buried long ago. All traces of her pink and white beauty have left the earth ; here stands the dusty barpsieord, brought by strange hands to her old Llama:. The room that interests the most is the tiny at tic chamber where the devoted widow passed her days after her husbands death. A rug and single bed Mrs. Washington had mot , - ed to the attic room, and here, wint er and summer, she watched with longing, crazy eyes the tomb that held her dead. There was no place for stove or grate; all day she sat by the window, with a shawl wrapped about her bent form, true Martha Washington, first lady of the land ! First, in elegance in times of peace ; in courage in time of war; in faithfulness in time of death! All women look with ten derer eyes at the small marble resting-place . than at the grander casket by their side. One bears upon it a draped flag, cut krt the. stone, a shield and crouching eagle; the other only the words, "Martha, Consort of Washington." Yet these words dim the eyes of loving wives; they piece the. hearts of lonely widows, and bind all true and fer vent womanhood close to the form that sleeps so dreamlessly beside the one she loved truly and long. Strength of the Human Arm. The powerful force of the human arm when propelled by a hale, hearty, stalwart man, is almost incredible. The damage it may inflict is simply astounding, and - we have recently had a sad, but very strikisg demonstration of this kind in our very midst. A few months since, when Freize hit Andrew Weidner upon Fayette Si., fronting City Mall, it is said that the lat ter fell as suddenly as if he had been struck in the vital part with an ax The bridge of his nose was broken, he ceased to breathe in less than ten minutes, and within a quarter of, an hour was as dead as though a bullet had penetrated his heart. It is stated that Freize told an officcr that the force of the blow was so powerful, he came near falling from the rebound, and when he discovered that the man was dead, he could not realize the fact. We see it stated in a Virginia paper that one of the celebrated Randolph family, a near kins man of Thomas Jefferson, when in his prime, could lift a thousand pounds. Our shows and circuses generally exhibit a man who displays wonderful feats of strength, but we have rarely or never known an in stance where a single blow from the human arm so instantaneously produced death, as that inflicted by Freize upon Weidner.— It should prove a sad warning to all pos sessed of such muscle to be extremely guarded as to when and how they use it. —Baltimore .3nierican. Eccentricity of One of Mar's Moons. An explanation of the remarkable speed of one of the newly discovered moons of Mars is undoubtedly needed. The trouble with this satellite is that it goes around its primary about three times as fast as the latter revolves on its axis. Unless the circumstance can be specifically explained, we must bid adieu to the nebular hypothe• sis, which very few astronomers would be willing to do at present. Professor Doo little, of the Coast Survey, has recently urged, as a satisfactory explanation, a the ory to the effect that flielittle moon has had its orbit shortened by the impact of meteorites. But no evidence is brought forward to prove that the meteors of the early ages of the solar system were so stri kingly numerous. If they were, would they not have left their mark in the most ancient strata of our own planet ? Possibly, how ever, this new theory may strengthen an older one that latterly has been lost sight of, which explains the cup-like cavities in the surface of the moon by supposing that they were made by great teorlites falling into our satellites while yet it was of a pasty consistence.
