Democrats everywhere should inform themselves carefully, alike of the action of their party through out the country and of the movements of their Republican opponents. A failure to do this in 1876 contributed greatly to the loss ny the Dem ocracy of the fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls. The year 1880 promises to be one of the most interesting and important years of this crowded and eventful century. It will witness a Presi dential election which may result in re-establish ing the Government of this country on the prin ciples of its constitutional founuers, or in perma nantly changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. No intelligent man can regard such an election with indifference. THE WORLD is the only daily English newspaper published in the city of New York which upholds the doctrines of constitutional Democracy, will steadily repre sent the Democratic party in this great canvass. It will do•thia in no spirit of servile partnership, but temperately and firmly. As a newspaper Tua Weald), being the organ of no man, no clique and no interest, will present the fullest and the fairest picture it can make of each day's passing history in the city, the State, the country and the world. It will aim hereafter, as heretofore, at accuracy first of all things in all that it publishes. No man, however humble, shall ever be permitted truly to complain that he has been unjustly dealt with 'in the columns of THE WORLD. No interest, however powerful, shall ever be permitted truly to boast that it can silence the fair criticism of TEE WORLD. During the past year THE WORLD has seen its daily circulation trebled and its weekly circula tion pushed far beyond that of any other weekly newspaper in the country. This great increase has been won, as THE WORLD believes, by truth fulness., enterprise, ceaseless activity in collecting news and unfaltering loyalty to itself and to its readers in dealing with the questions of the day. . , . . It is our hope and it will be our endeavor that THE W.,HLD'S record for ISSU may be written in the approbation and the support of many thous ands wore of new readers in all parts of this In dissuluble Union of Indestructible States.

ROBERT E. SHAW, de0.12.*.1 Administrator. #111$C! t Aolutr. 9-- Upon the margin of the Sea of laie Watkihing its troubled waves a young man.stood : Ile felt no shrinking from the sea or strife. t No fear that time would bring him aught ,but t good. For all the future seemed most wondrous fair, As pictured by his fancy, and he saw The world all hope, undimmed by grief and care, And happiness the universal law. PawHe the joys of life on every hand, Waiting for man to take them and blest; He saw mankind one firm united band, Each etriving for the welfare of the rcst,— Bach laboring in his proper time and place With-all the power which God to him had given, To raise himself, and through himself his race, Higher from•the dust and nearer heaven. And many dreams of honor(' power and fame, With large ambition fired this young man's breast Be thought to build h.m an eternal n I me Before he sought the stillness of his rest. l'aiged to stand confessed a master mina, A teacher of great truths as yet untaught, Anil, dying, be remembered by his kind As one who had not lived and died for naught. But Time dispelled these golden dreams and filled Their place with prospects of a darker kind, 4!lj. hard experience ail too quickly chilled :Tittfiery ardor of his youthful mind. Ne Kind men disunited—some pursuing . . Their selfish ends in dark and crooked ways, And others in their thoughtless zeal undoing The good that had been wrought in former days .

A STORY OF A DAY. A moan thrilled the heavy night air.— The form of a woman stood out dimly against the hank beyond, on the very verge or the river pier. Two white arms were flung on high. A rild face was upturned ta the ashen, pitiless heave , IF. White lips uttered something likua curie, which wri heard by Vie duil cared wind only. Three hundred bells, in as many guar ters or the gi'eat city, elangal twelve, and the three hundred inin tongues were still for an hour. The flash of a body in the inky waters ' smote on the widnignt ; the waters, with a sudden shock, stirred squeaking ship and leviathanic pier with an a g ue like tremor. The woman's form on the dock was gone. Mr. Banker Jeckyll was a sort of ani mated exclamation point—a kind of hu man interjoction, always on the point of breaking out in exclamatory monosyllables. talkedHo in interjections, walked in inter jections, acted interjectionally, did busi ness in interjections. Mr. Detective Fer rett was a tool of his—that is, translated into lengthened prose the stenographic memoranda of interjections that formed the dialect of his principal. At ten o'clock that eveninz Mr. Banker Jeckyll had sent for Mr. Detective Ferrett on urgent business. "Miss Vancouver is at large'." inter jected Jeckyll "Well :" rejoined Ferret, half in the way of asking a question and half in the manner of an exclamation. "Poor thing ! I think she will make way with herself," ventured Jeckyll, with an Americanism ; "but you must get some clew to her whereabouts immediately. I should never forgive myself if she did.— My own sister's daughter, you arc aware, Mr. Ferret, and heiress to the estate ofmy late brother-in-law, Mr. Vancouver." Mr Jockyll looked the impersonation of anxiety—was, for the moment, a great grief expressed in a single human inter jection, at least apparently. Mr. Ferrett looked up at Mr. Jeekyll furtively, with a sort of dift g onai inquisi tiveness in his small, cunning eyes Mr. Ferret, in the course of 1. is whole proles sional experience, had never looked at any body directly. H is glances always seemed to fly off at a tangent from the side of his head. "Well," repeated Ferret, still half in• terrogatively, and with an expression that said, if Mr. Jeckyll had peered sharply in to his face, like to know exactly what you mean, Mr. Jeckyll." "A cool thousand, Fcrrot, if you bring news within six hours. I shall be up all night; I'm so worried, you know, about poor Ida," replied hanker Jeckyll, and the two understood each other thoroughly. Ida Vancouver was a young lady of twenty. For three years she had been a pris)ner in her room, under the care of her uncle and guardian, and his selected physician, nurses and attendants. "It was a mental malady," Mr Jeckyll said, and so said physician and attendants "Her poor mother used to have turns," went on Jeckyll ; "but the late Mr. Van couver alwa3s took _trait puns to conceal it." Then, too, Mr. Jeckyll was consid erate—so sympathetic. "I can't have the heart to send her to an asylum," he used to sly to the neigh bors, in his grief stricken way. She's my own sister's daughter—the only relative I have in the world ; - and, if she is violent sometimes, as long as I have a dollir she shall be taken care or at home." M. M. MoNIEL, , Auditor. The neighbors go=sipped : "How gen erous is Mr. Jeckyll :"—th i hugh there were those who whispered suspicious, and were scouted ror doing so. At seventeen Ida Vancouver had become intimate with William Hainilton, a young The Philosophy of Lif3 specimen of legal anatomy. The stern guardian had forbidden Hamilton to enter the house, and from that day the young lady had been gradually going mad. S o ran the rumor, and most people believed —for Banker Jeckyll was influential, as in c2rnate hard cash is apt to be. There is a certain divinity in cash, especially in Fifth avenue circles, and Mr. Jeckyll was the divinity incarnate. Mr. Hamilton was conceited—not more so than men usually are—but conceited enough, neverthele.s, to believe that Miss Vancouver had gone mad on his account. It was so romantic to think so; and, for the sake of the romance, Mr. Hamilton was able to bear his loss with pathetic resignation. It was one o'clock at night when Ferret pulled the bell at the door of the Fifth avenue palace Three hundred iron tongues in as many quarters of the city had almost simultaneously changed one, and the million mouthed metropolis wis s,)und asleep. Its two million eyes, with bore and there a pair of exceptions, were shut in slumber, and Mr. Ferret had not the slightest suspicion that Miss Van couver's two blue eyes were among the ex- cept ions. Ferret was admitted, with a shawl tin der his arm that Jeckyll identified. He had traced Miss Vancouver tc the pier, but had not been in time to prevent the accident. Here he sent an opitcal dispatch to Mr. Jeckyll, which questioned : "Have I done right ?" Mr. Jeckyll, by optical dispatch, answered: 'Yes," and the con versation went on, the latter dispensing he promised thousand. The detective had seen Miss Vancouver drop from the pier; bad heard the splash; had picked up the evidence of her identity. There was no doubt as to the fact—Miss Vancouver was dead and might be carried to the morgue any day, having been cast up by the sea for identification. S 3 rea soned Mr. Jeckyll, secretly resolving to keep an eye on the morgue, and, in in stance of Miss Vancouver's body being picked up, to identify it, eta impress the public with magnificent obsequies. '-The effect," argued the banker, inter nally—"the effect on the circle in which I mice will be worth the trouble." The banker carried out his resolution, but in vain. The opportunity for the magnificent funeral was never presented. At half past twelve the next day a lady entered one of the great Broadway cata combs, and studied her wsy to the office of Win. Hamilton. "Was Mr. Hamilton in ?" "Mr. Hamilton was in, but engaged," suggested the gentlemanly partner. '•Would thee — gentleman - be so kind as to take a card to Mr. Hamilton 1" '•With pleasure.". The visitant scribbles her name on an office card, with the gentlemanly partner, begging her to be seated, takes it to the in ner sanctum. "Lidy's card, sir. She's waiting for an interview " Mr Hamilton glances at the name, and a cadaverous pallor overspreads his Lee with a sudden wave. The quickness with which tie becomes disengaged is marvelous. "•I'll see her immediately," gasps Mr. Hamilton, spasmodically, and the partner disappears to escort the visitant to the in ner office. "Mr Hamilton will see you at once.— This way, madame," and the two, three years separated, are face to face. The explanation that ensues is neither complimentary to Mr. Hamilton's acumen nor his vanity ; but he bears it in consid eration of the Vancouver two millions and a Mrs Hamilton whose sanity is unques tionable. Three hundred clocks, in as many quar ter, of the city, clang ten. MI. Jeckyll walks up and down in the Fifth avenue mansion, speculating whether poor Ida's body will be found. A carriage stops at the door, and a lady and gentleman alight; the g.entlewan rings, and sends in his card. "What in the deuce can the young popin jay want with me ?" queries banker Jeck yll, internally. "Admit Mr. Hamilton," orders he, blandly, externally; and the gentleman enters with a lady on his arm. In the worn out metaphor of "Hudibras," Banker Jeckyll smelts a rat, but is not quite sure. "Permit u:e to present Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. Jeckyll," smiles the visitor, blandly, but with a certain tinge of sardonicism apparent._ Mrs. Hamilton lifts the heavy vail that covers the face that applied for lodging at the station house the night before. "It is I, dear uncle and guardy," mut.- tnurs the same musical voice that had so fascinated the lawyer—only the voice is a trifle less pathetic and has an undercurrent of sarcastic laughter in it. Mr. Jeckyll's tongue is not equal even to an interjection at the moment. "I knew how you'd grieve, guardy, dear, so I just dropped a cobble-stone in the water, left my shawl to be picked up by Mr. Ferrett, and crept away on my hands and knees. Still I had a bard night of it, guardy " With a quick gasp, Banker Jeckyll staggered to a chair, and, with a moan, sank down as if he had been wounded. Banker Jeckyll was dead. Apoplexy, Doctor Quackenbush called it; and the magnificent funeral came about, as in tended—only Banker Jeckyll was in the coffin instead of Banker .Jeckyll's niece Stark and stiff, Mr. Jeckyll looked the ex. clatnation point incarnate even in death, and was buried at the expense of the two "Cleverly outwitted," muttered Ferret, when he heard the news ; but my fifty thousand oever'll come—never." clect c j xsrclian. Facts about Flour. Flour is peculiarly sensitive to atmos pheric influences, hence it should never be stored in a room with sour liquids, nor where onions or fish are kept, nor any ar ticle that taints the air of the room in which it is stored. Any smell perceptible to the sense will be absorbed by flour. Avoid damp cellars or lofts where a free c reulation of air cannot be obtained. Keep in a cool dry, airy room, and not exposed to a freezing temperature nor to intense summer or to artificial heat for any length of timo above 70 deg. Fahr. It should not come in contact with grain or other substance which are liable to heat.. Flour should be sifted and the principles thoroughly disintegrated and then warm ed before baking. The treatment improves the color and baking properties of the dough. The sponge should be prepared for the oven as soon as the yeast has per formed its wission, otherwise fermentation sets in and acidity results. SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL. The Beggar Woman of Locarno, At the foot of the Alps, near Locirno, stood au old castle belonging to the Mar quis of Como, the ruins of which are still visible to the traveler, as he passes over the St. Gothard—a castle with lofty and roomy apartments, high towers and narrow windows. in one of these rooms an old sick woman was deposited upon some straw, which had been shaken down for her by the house keeper of the Marquis, who found her beg• ging before the gate. The Marquis, who was accustomed to go into this room on his return from hunt ing, to lay aside his gun, ordered the poor wretch to get up immediately out of her corner and be gone. The creature arose, but slipping with her crutch upon the smooth floor, she fell, and injured her back so much, that it was with great difficulty she got up ; and mov ing across the room as she had been desir ed, groaning and crying sadly, sank d )e.-n behind the chimney. After a while she arose again, dragged herself painfully out of the castle and died in the adjacent village. Several years afterwaos, when the cir cumstances of the Marq.iis had been much reduced by war and failure of his crops, a Florentine gentleman visited the castle, with the intention of purcha-ing it, in consequence of the beauty of the situation. The Marquis, who was very anxious to have the bargain concluded, gave his wife directions to lodge the stranger in the same room in which the old won:an had rested, it having in the meantime been very handsomely fitted up ; but to their consternation, in the middle of the night, the stranger entered their own room, pale and agitated, protestino• e loudly that the chamber was haunted by some invisible being—for that he heard something rise in the corner, as if it had been lying among the straw, move over the chamber with slow and tottering steps, and sink down, groaning and crying, near the chimney. The Marquis, alarmed, though he scarce ly knew why, endeavored to put a fair face on the matter, and to laugh off the fears of his visitor, telling him he would rise himself, and spend the rest of the night with him in his room ; but the stranger begged that he would rather allow him to oc ‘ cupy a couch in the adjoining room ; and as soon as morning broke, he took his leave, and departed. This occurrence, which occasioned much notice, made so unpleasant an impression upon intending purchasers, that not an other inquiry was made, and at last, even the servants in the house becoming pus sessed with the notion that there was someth:nc , dreadful in the affair, the Mar quis with the view of setting the report to rest, determined to investigite the mat ter himself next night. Accordingly, in the twilight, he caused his bed to be brought into the apartment, and waited without sleeping, the approach of midnight. But what was his consternation when, on the stroke of midnight, ho actually heard some remarkable noise in the apart went, as though some one had risen from among straw, which rustled beneath him, walked,slowly across the floor, and sank, sighing and groaning behind. the chimney ? When he came down the next morning, the Marchiones. asked him how the in vestigation had gone on ; and he alter gazing about him with wondering glances, and bolting the door, told her that the story of chamber being haunted were true. She was terrified out of her senses; but begged him, before making any public disclosures, once more to make the experi ment in her company. Accompanied by a trusty servant, they accordingly repeated their visit next night, and again heard, as the Marquis had done before, the same ghostly and inconceivable noise; and nothing but the anxious wish to get rid of the castle, cost what it would, enabled them to suppress their terrors in the presence of the servant, and to ascribe the noise to some accidental cause. On the evening of the third day, when both determined to probe the matter to the bottom, were ascending with beating hearts the stairs leading to the stranger's apartment, it chanced that the house dog. which had been let loose from the chain, was lyintdirectly before the door of the room; and, willing, perhaps to have the company of any other living thing in the mysterious apartment, they took the do; into the room with them. The husband and wife seated themselves on the couch—the Marquis with his sword and pistols beside him ; and while they endeavored, the best way they could, to kill time with conversation, the dog cow ering down at their feet fell asleep. Again, with the stroke of midnight, the noise was renewed; someiliug, though what they could not discover, raised itself, as if on two crutches, in the corner; the straw rustled as before. At the sound of the first footfall, the dog awoke, roused itself pricked up its ears and growling and barking as if some person was advancing towards him, re treated in the directionof the chiluney. At this sight the Marchioness rushed out of the room, her hair standing on end ; and while the Marquis seized his sword, exclaimed, 1•Who is there ?" and receiving no answer, thrust like a madman in all directions, she hastily packed up a few articles of dress, and made the best of her way towards the town. Scarcely, however, had she proceeded a few steps, when she discovered that the castle was on fire. The Marquis had in his distraction, overturned the tapers, and the room was instantly in flames. Every effort was made to save the un happy nobleman, but in vain ; he perished in the utmost tortures ; and his bones, as the traveler may be aware, still lie where they were collected by the neighboring peasants—in a corner of the apartment from which he had expelled the begger woman of Locarno, A. LAYMAN'S GRACE.—A young mar ried friend tells a good joke on himself perpetrated by a little three-year old "pride of the family." She is the only pledge of love that has twined itself around the hearts and affections of himself and wife A few evenings since a minister visited the family and remained until after tea . At the table the reverend visitor asked the blessing, and the little one opened her eyes in wonderment. She could not no derstand what had been done, and it was with great persuasion that her mother could keep her quiet during the time they were at the table. When they left it, she said, "What did you say at the table ?" "My little darsina I thanked God for his good ; ness in giving us to eat, that we might, eat and be strong." "Papa don't say that." "What does your papa say ?" "Papa say?, 'Godlemighty, what a supper " , Printing Paper. The principal ingredients of this paper are straw, rags and wood. A mill of this kind affords a ready market for all the straw produced in the country for miles around. The straw is piled up in great stacks near the mill ready for use. The rags come from all parts of this country and Europe. - The wood is brought in the pulp from firms who make a business of reducing wood to a fine pulp. Regarding the processes which these materials under• go while being converted into paper. In the first place the straw is cut up fine and passed through a fanning mill, which sep arates it from all the grain and particles of dust. It is then put into hngh rotary boilers, running under eighty pounds of steam pressure, where it is boiled and cleansed in a strong solution of caustic alkali, after which it ie emptied into vats and thrown up into washing engines filled with water ; there the alkali is extracted, and chlorine is added for the purpose or whitening it. After remaining here until the pulp is thoroughly washed, it is emp• tied into large vats, where it is left to bleach twenty-four hours The pulp in this stage is as white as snow, and is one mass of fine silky fiber. The rep are first carefully assorted, and everything not com posed of cotton or linen is discarded. They arc then cut up and dusted by machinery. after which they are boiled and cleansed with a. solution of lime in other rotary. boilers. Afterward they pass through the same process as the straw until they, too, are reduced to a beautiful, white, fibrous pulp. Equal quantities of rag and straw pulp are mixed together with a lesser quantity of wood pulp. To this is added a small portion of alklin, or white clay, which is used to fill up the pores of the paper, and give it a smoother surface. The whole is then put into a beating engine, where it remains until the different ingre• dients are thoroughly united. This op eration usuelly takes about three hours. Here also the blue coloring is added-1 12Ine white being considered the best shade the paper. - From the beating engine the pulp is pumped up into another engine, where it passes through the last stage or refining, and is dropped into P liquid form into an immense tub. It is now 'early to be put into form. There are two kinds or machines for this work, the Fourdriner and the cylinder. The Fourdriuer, the latest invention, and the most perfect ma chine now in use, is used at this mill. The fibrous liquid is then poured from the tub through a strainer into the machine, where it is caught on an endless sieve of very fine wire, which filters out the water aid re tains the fibre. This sieve continually vi bratea as it. moves along thus thoroughly uniting the fibre, and when it reach es the section box, all the water is drawn from the pulp. This sheet is car• ried over numerous drying cylinders, heated by steam; then over the cylinder r,d;s. where it receives its final gloss and finish ; and is finally wound on spools, weighed wrapped, marked and stored, ready for shipment. The Last Arrow. During the expedition of the French against the confederate Five Nations in New York, the following incident occur red : Kiodago, a Mohawk chief, had fur his wife a beautiful half breed girl, whose father was said to he no less a parsonage than the Governor General of New France, the veteran Count de Fontenac. A. small force of French musketeers and pikemen surprised the summer camp of Kiodago's Innd at what is now called Trenton Falls, just before daylight, when, not dreaming of an attack, they were wrapped - in slum ber. Hand grenades set their logs on fire, and a murderous assault was made upc the half awakened natives Some perish ed in the flames; some were cot down in the combat, and others still, among whom was Kiodago and his wife, escaped to the hills. A_ small party of seven, marking the course pursued by Kiodago, followed. The valient chief had lust. both his toms hawk and war-club in the strife, but he still carried his trus'y bow, and there re mained in the quiver just three arrows. The warrior determined that a file must tell for the loss of each arrow. The ar rows were sent whistling from the how, carrying destruction with them; but just as he was drawing the bow for the last time a shot from a musket carried away his thub. The warrior betook himself to flight, bounding over the rugged crags, crossing and recrossing the mountain tor rent to mislead his pursuers, and finally rejoined hi 4 wife at the entrance of a cav ern where she sank down in utter exhaus- tion, pressing her babe to her bosom. Soon, however, voieei were heard, and looking down they discovered a party of three, led by a renegade scout, pressing forward in the direction or their rocky fastness. The chief grasped his remaining arrow with his bleeding fingers, and aimed it at the leading one of the pursuing party. It struck the steel curiass of the of and glanced off harmlessly, bet transfixed the heart of the scout, who, in his dying fall, grasped the sword chain of the chevalier, and the two went rolling down the glen together. The third man abandoned the pursuit. Kiodago and his beautiful wife escaped, and many of their descendants are still living to tell the tale of THE LAST ARRow What Makes the Wires Hum ? Most boys believe that the humming sound made by the telegraph wires is caused by the messages hurrying along to their destination; and most men believe tlat the sound is caused by . :the vibration of the wire in the wind. A writer in an Australian newspaper, however, calls at tentiov to the fact that one who will give close observation to both the wires and the sounds will find that the latter make them selves obvious likewise when there is total absence of wind ; and in a quiet morning in winter, when the wires appear to be covered with frost to the thickness of a finger, they nevertheless carry on lively vibrations and singing, while the air is totally quiet. According to this writer, therefore, the vibrations are due, not to the wind, but to changes of atmos pheric temperature, and especially through the action of cold, as a lowetling of tem perature, and especially throngh the action of cold, as a lowering of temperature in duces a shortning of the wires extending over the whole length of the conductor- A considerable amount of friction is Pro duced on the supporting bells,-thus indue ing sound, both in the wires and the polls. A smAr.r.boy in New Haven made a snnsation for a short time by quietly trans ferring a card bearing the words "take one," from a lot of handbills in front of store to a bo;ket of oranges. NO. I.
