WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1875,
tim. From what we cau learn the nest
boards of county Commissioners and Audi
tor's will each consist of three Republicans.
Good !
IS_ Hon. Galusha A. Grow, and Hon.
E. J. Morris, two eminent Liberal Repub
licans, have wheeled into line and are do
ing a splendid work for IlartAnft.
m. The New Castle Currant bas ap
peared in quarto form and presents a very
neat and attractive appearance. Our friend
Durban is, no doubt, proud of it and he
ought to be.
Kir Voter, remember that Prof. A. L.
Guss calls the Republican ticket a "ring
boned and spavined ticket" because we have
several excellent men on it who have been
unfortunate. Return the indecent fling
with interest !
as. Are the Republican Committees
in the respective wards, boroughs, districts
and townships up and doing ? Remem
ber, that the work of the campaign de•
volves upon you, work night and day,
from now until the day of election.
ita_ The Radical says : Hon. Samuel
Calvin addressed a Democratic—Hard—
Money—Greesback—Free—T olio-Gran

Hartranft meeting at Bellefonte, on Wed
nesday eveeing. "Alas Poor Yorieb."
gm. The Grangers are now loudly de
manding tbat Victor E. Piollet step down
and out. They now see how they hare
been bamboorled by a played out old Dem
ocratic dead heat. If the grangers want
to succeed they must stear clear of this
kind of cattle.
Is. The Professor weekly tells us what
be "knows about farming." It is really
a doleful tale, and, yet, no one appears to
have any interest in it. He says the in
formation cost him $lB, and for that
amount of tnoney he would write a great
many untrue things.
gm_ After insisting, for two long years,
that there never was any secret political
societies in Huntingdon county, the Pro
fessor takes up three and a half mortal
columns to prove that there was! What
a reliable man the editor of the Globe is!
He never tells Us ! Not he.
Veer The editor of the Globe thought
be would astonish folks by writing up a
sensational account of secret political soci
eties which lie alleges once existed in this
county, but only writes himself down the
biggest kind of a stupid. He has denied
oftener than he has fingers and toes that
there was anything of the kind.
um,. The Local News wants the next
Convention of the Y. M. C. A. to meet in
this place. We would suggest that it
meet in the third story of the Globe build
ing. If something of this kind is not soon
done the Globe will be past praying for.—
We would also recommend Messrs. Mc-
Neil & Fleming and the Professor for
membership.
In_ If there had been no members of
the Legislature, from the anti• Local Op
tion counties, at llarrisburg, the Local
Option Law would nevertheless have been
repealed. After two years trial the people
had voted it a failure, and the Governor
who would have vetoed the bill repealing
it would have been denounced as an arbi
trary and defiant executive.
ne o , We learn from the Gazette that
the late Republican Convention of Mifflin
county nominated our esteemed friend,
Wm. 11. McClellan, Esq., of McVeytown,
for Sheriff. This is an excellent nomina
tion. Squire McClellan is a most excel
lent citizen, and will make an efficient of
ficer. NVe hope to hear of his triumphant
election by a large majority.
s Twenty-nine out of the forty coun
ties that voted for Local Option. after
two years' trial, changed their minds in
regard to it, and sent men to Har
risburg in favor of its repeal, and be
cause the Governor approved the bill pass
ed by this majority repealing it some tem
perance men accuse him of bad faith. Is
this, in al! candor, not doing the Governor
great injustice ?
SW' The Democrats held a meeting in
Bedford during the first week of Court,
and it was the most stupidly dull affair
ever held in that county. Messrs Myers
and Ileartly addressed it, and both were
hard monied men, and the result was that
their views antagonized the Erie platform
and the gravity of the affair could only
have been equalled by a funeral. The
party appears to be as dead as a mackerel.
tom' The Republicans of Huntingdon
county, for the first time for years, are
united in sentiment. There is no antag
onistic interests. This is the universal
feeling. Even those who were disposed to
go off with Guss' Democratic side-show,
which has cost Speer so much money and
labor, say they find no difference of opinion,
and the result is that for the first time, for
several years, the entire Republican vote
will be solid for the Republican ticket.
gs„ The Professor uniformly wanted to
know what there was in it for him when
the Republicans tried to settle their diffi
culties. Nobody could make him see it.
Wonder what there is in it for him now?
Speer was more successful than the Re
publiene diplomats. And, strange tosay,
tl;lero are several good, reliable, sensible
men. who allow this man to make use of
them; permit themselves to be used as
this man's stock in trade ! Speer pays
him so much a head and they allow ft.

The Widow-Maker !
OR TIIE
BLOODY KIM
OF TIE EBONY CROWN!
H`l ISSUES ANOTHER PROCLAIATION!
At the request of a large number of
persons, we republish our cut of the Ebony
Crown, and place it at the head of an ar
ticle on a proclamation issued by this
usurper and tyrant., setting apart the last
Thursday in November as a day of humil
iation mad prayer.
As for humiliation, the nation has had
enough of it.
It has had the Widow Maker for Pres.
ident since the 4th of March, 1861.
The Constitution has been violated
The laws have been trampled on.
Liberty has been banished, no one
knows whither.
The Union has been torn asunder.
Peace and Union have been denied, un
less accompanied with abandonment of
slavery.
White soldiers have been sacrificed be
cause the rebels would not place the ne
groes on an equality with them.
Our flag has lost the respect of the na
tions of the earth.
The American name has become a hiss
ing and by-word among the people. _
A Crowned head has been introduced
on the American continent.
The seat once honored by such men as
Washington, Jefferson, and Jackson, has
been disgraced by a smutty joker and vul
gar blackguard.
Living has become dear aad death
cheap.
The golden bowl has been broken, and
the mourners are going the streets
The houses of worship have been turn
ed into political club rooms.
Ministers of the gospel have become
libertines and political mountebanks.
And the hundredth part is not told.
GREAT GOD, have we not bad humiliation
enough ?
What shall we pray for ?
Shall it be for a perpetuation of the
Widow-maker's reign ?
For more empty chairs?
More vacant hearth stones ?
More hapless widows ?
More friendless orphans? •
More corrupt office-holders?
More taxation and stamps!
More political preachers?
More conscriptions and death ?
More tyranny and despotism ?
More green graves ?
More sorrow and destittLion ?
No patriot and christian can return
thanks for the Widow-Maker or the feast
of sorrow he has given us; nor will any
such pray for a continuation of the things
he has bestowed upon us.
Abolitionists may be thankful that a
just God has not blasted them as he did
the hosts of Senacherib. And they may
consistently pray for a continuation of the
scourge sent upon this nation, and for an
enlargement of Pandemonium that they
may be accummulated when called hence.
PERSHING-THE KNOW-NOTHING
Judge Ryan, a Catholic, received, a few
years ago, the regular nomination of the
Domeratic party, for President Jadge of
the Schuylkill district. This caused such
great dissatisfaction in the old Know-
Nothing element of that party, that they
determided to defeat him. In looking
over the ground in that district, they could
not find a man who would agree to run
against Ryan on account of his religion.
They sent a messenger to Cyrus L. Per
shing, in Cambria county. soliciting him
to become an independent Know-rotting
candidate against Judge Ryan. He
consented, and with the union of the Know-
Nothings in the Democratic party, and
the opposition, he was elected over Mr.
Ryan. Had Ryan been a Protestant this
opposition to him would not have occur
red. It was his religion that defeated
him, and elected Cyrus L. Pershing, the
Know-Nothing.—Exchangc.
re_ In 1854 the Democratic Treasurer
of Pennsylvania reported to the Legisla
ture, in accordance with an act of Assem
bly existing at that time, the names of the
public officials who were defaulters This
was the last year of Bigler's administra
tion and they numbered fair hundred and
fifty, and the amount exceeded half a mil
lion of dollars—of such were the fruits of
Democratic management of the finances of
the people.
Be.— Mr. Victor E. Pio!let, the Demo
cratic candidate for State Treasurer, is of
French extraction, as his Democratic bio
graphers inform us. Probably this ac
counts for the strong sympathy he ex•
pressed fur the French during the Franco.
Prussian war of 1870, when he said that
"a good licking would do the d—d Dutch
a heap of good."

Pleasure or Pain.
Through life we're found strewing again and
again,
The sunshine of pleasure or chill blast of pain
We either make cheerful oar fellow each day,
Or scatter some discord to darken the way.
'Tis ours to gladden or "venally chill.
We each have the power to do .se we will.
The chances Pre le - gion, and we shall abide,
Condemned or exalted, as we may decide.
Kind words cost but little and okbow tbey cheer
The heart overburdened and cast down with
fear;
A word fitly spoken, with kindness and ease,
The hottest of anger will quickly appease.
Kind deeds •re as flow.:tra which cheerfully
bloom
To gladden our lives as marry t the tomb ;
Upraising the fallen and 'Jose that are low,
The depth of their power no mortal doth know.
Kind words by kind actions are best understood,
They stand in the essence of all that is good ;
They prompt us to deeds of the holiest love,
And meet the approval of angels above.
Love's Belief.
I believe if I should die,
And you should kiss my eyelids where I lie
Cold, dead and dumb to all the world contains,
The folded orbs would open at thy breath,
And, from its exile in the Isles of Death,
Life would come gladly back along my veins.
I believe if I were dead,
And you upon my lifeless heart should tread—
Not knowing what the poor clod chanced to be
It would find sodden pulse beneath the touch
Of hint it ever loved in life so much,
And throb again, warm, tender, true to thee,
II
I believe if in my grave,
Hidden in woody deeps all by toe wArrs,
Your eyes should drop some warm tears of
regret,
From every salty seed of your dear grief
Some fair, sweet blossom would leap into leaf
To prove thLt death could not make my love
forget.
111
I believe if I should fade
Into the realms where light is ma lc,
And you should long once more my :ace to see,
I would come forth upon the hill,. of night
And gather stars like fagots. till tby sight,
Fed by the beacon blase, fell full on me.
I believe my love for thee
(Strong as my life) so nobly placed to be,
It could as soon expect to see the son
Fall like a dead kingfrons his heights sublime,
His glory stricken from the throne of Time.
As thee unworthy the worship thou hast won.
• IT
I believe who bast not loved
Rath half the treasures of his life unproved,
Like one who, with the grape within his Grasp.
Drops it, with all its crimson juice impressed,
And all its luscious sweetness left ungues:ed.
Out of his careless and unheeding clasp.
I believe love pure and true
Is to the soul a sweet, immortll dew
That gems life's petals in the hour of du4k,
The waiting angels see and recognise
The rich crown jewel love of paradise,
%Then life falls from us like a withered husk.

Many a young gentleman, as I have of
ten observed, is greatly wanting in these
respects. Many a one on going into so
ciety is sadly at a loss how to dispose of
his extremities, and would, one can easily
perceive, have much rather left them at
home.
Many such an unfortunate one knows
not where to quarter his hands, thrusting
them at one moment into his waist-cflit, at
another into his breeches pockets. then in
despair raising one or the other to his oc
