The Vcraeat Electlea.
The Philadelphia Press announces
that the election in Vermont has settled
the presidential question. Most persons
will consider the Press tee sanguine.
Vermont has never before been considered
te have much influence in national poli
tics. It is conceded in advance te the
Republican party, which new seems te
have carried it by three thousand mere
majority than it had four years age.
That increase is net significant of in
creased Republican strength outside of
Vermont. We are net sure whether it
would net have been cause for discourage
ment te have a Democratic increase in a
state that is getting se far behind its sis
ter states in growth as is Vermont. Tiie
census of this year shows that Vermont's
energetic citizens are leaving her. She
does net have the natural increase of her
population and an immigrant is hardly
ever seen within her borders. The Re
publican party is welcome te her and
all that she has, and every legitimate
hope they can derive from the success
with which they have this year get out
their vote. The money and effort it has
cost them would have been better ex
pended where their strength is mere in
doubt ; unless, indeed, their organs can
succeed in making anybody believe that
as Vermont gees se will go. the Union.
We think that they will neff generally be
se bold as the Press in thus t:ix.
ing the credulity of their readers.
That journal acts en the idea
that there is never anything lest in mak
ing a big claim ; but it will be embar
rassed when it comes te the Maine elec
tion, in giving that result a due degree
of significance, if it should happen te be
in favor of its party, as the probabilities
are that it will be. If Republican Ver
mont settles the presidential election,
Republican Maine will net get up enough
enthusiasm for a decent hurrah; and
there would be danger in view of this
double triumph that the political friends
of thePress in Indiana would sit down and
let the active Democrats walk away with
the stale. This will hardly de, because
everybody does attribute a geed deal of
significance te the Indiana result and
the national Democracy will be consid
erably exercised if we are beaten there.
As a question of policy it is certainly in
discreet in the Press te halloo se seen.
Vermont is away back in the weeds and
Maine is only en the border. If the Re
publicans get safely out of both they will
net be wise in making tee much noise.
Pennsylvania and New Yerk will need
nil their attention and they had better
net let the boys think that Vermont has
done the presidential business for all of
us.
If we were as sanguine and foolish as
the Press we might claim the Arkansas
result as deciding that for the presidency,
since the Democratic majority there is
said te be nearly twice thai of the Re
publicans in Vermont, and its increase
ever ether years is very much greater.
The real truth about the matter is that
the presidency will net be decided litis
year by anything but the November re
sult, and neither party can feel any
reasonable assurance of it until New
Yerk and Pennsylvania are heard from.
Indiana only can have any influence ever
these states, and that will net be decisive
by any means. The contest will be fought
out te the last day, and there will be en
the Democratic side at least a confident
hope of the vote of Pennsylvania and
New Yerk whatever any ether state
may meantime say.
im m
The Democracy of Pennsylvania need
net have any fears that the efficient or
ganization of the party in this state and
all the necessary work of the campaign
will suffer the slightest neglect from these
into whose hands it has been entrusted.
Te the neglect of his private business
and despite pressing family cares, Mr.
Dill, the chairman of the state central
committee, ie giving his assiduous at
tentien te the campaign, supervising and
directing its details as well as conduct
ing it in its general aspects. He is aided
most efficiently by Heii.Wm.McClelland,
ex-chairman of the committee, who has
special charge of the correspondence and
documents, and by Mr. Gee. B. Herbert,
an exiwricnccd political manager who has
supervision of the department of public
meetings. The appearance of the head
quarters of the committee in Philadel
phia bespeaks active and incessant work ;
promptitude, industy and decision seem
te 1)6 the characteristics of the force
there. Complete communication is had
by the committee with ever' election dis
trict in the state, and no application re"
mains unanswered nor any want unat
tended te.
The most striking, and at the same
time the most encouraging features of
the campaign, are the unusually large
number of doubtful voters reported, al
most entirely drawn from the Republi
can ranks, and the increasing demand
for reading matter. The laboring men
of the country, it seems, de net " vote
through their eyes " as Jehn Cessna pro
claims, but are reading and think for
themselves, and " when the gravel train
comes in " leek out for the returns!
Veumext has gene Republican by
about its usual majority, and it may even
turn .ut that its majority is larger than
ever. It would be queer if it were net
se. It is a state that learns nothing and
forgets nothing. Daniel Webster used
te tell the people of New England that
they had conquered an inhospitable soil,
a chilling climate and the fierce savages,
but they had jet te learn te conquer
their prejudices. If ever Vermont could
rise te that sublimity it would have hap
pened in behalf of Herace Greeley, in
1872. But it didn't and Ephraira was
seen te be se joined te his idols that he
might as well have been let alone ever
since. The Democrats there insisted en
having a walk-around this campaign,
just te show their brethren through
the country under what discour
agement and disadvantage Demo
crats could held fast te their faith.
They have kept it resolutely. They
steed up and were counted and they are
all there. The Republicans seem te be
relieved at tbe discovery that they have
held their own. Failing te de better than
that they will lese New Yerk, Indiana,
New Jersey and Connecticut and losing
them they lese all.
Moxkee county is the most posi
tively Democratic district in the state.
In 1876 it cast 3,280 votes for Tilden and
776 for Hayes. This year out of 4,200
expected votes Hancock will get 3,400.
In Menree county there is no poorhouse
and no need of any ; they have a jail but
seldom anybody in it. Tbe Democrats
ever there make no nomination for
county flice3. The contest; is open te
all, and half a dozen Democrats can run
for any county office at the general elec
tion without fear of letting a Republican
slip in. The district attorney sometimes
holds a quarter sessions court without
framing a single indictment. The man
ners and morals of the Bull Ringers and
Heg Ringers here would be vastly im
proved if they could sojourn for a season
among the hills of Menree and partake
of the undefiled religion and unadulter
ated whisky of that region.

An adjourned meeting of the United
States Hay-Fever association was held at
Bethlehem, N. II., yesterday, under the

Madame Christine Nilssex is one of
the most graceful visitors at the watering
place of Aix-les-Bains this year. She docs
net make herself conspicuous in any way,
always diessing in the simplest possible

ground that charity begins at home, and
that she is at Aix for rest, she has refused
te sing for a benevolent object.
The death of Harry Josephs, the com

many admirers in this city. Mr. Josephs
was well known and quite a favorite here,
where he has played several times in the
extravaganza of "Evangeline,"' and also
as late as last spriug in the comedy of " An
Arabian Night." He was a clever actor,
and his demise at the early age of 35 will
leave a void in the profession te which he
was a credit. He was of Scotch birth and
was en the stage from early youth.
While reclining en a rock and sketching

man was no lunatic. Russell returned te

jokeon the selectmen by describing a visit

asked him all sorts of nonsensical ques

The Opinion Ills Beys Had or Him.
Fer UlO INTKLLIOENCKR.
One day in the early part of the summer
of 1864, the writer, a private in the rebel
array, was en picket, en the Boynton read,
near Petersburg. He had been in the
army of Tennessee and knew very little of
the "Virginia Yanfts," who fenncd the
army of the Potomac.
The rcb picket had been "banging away
at nothing" for nearly half the day. When
a cuap in the opposite hole rose up and
said :
"I say, Johnny, step that sheeting and
lets have a truce." Johnny was glad
enough te de this, and very seen each had
put up a white rag, and the blue and the
gray met under a tree for trace, trade and
talk. After swapping papsrs, tobacco,
coffee and canteens, passing the drinks
quite amicably, the following conversation
occurred.
Johnny " Whose corps de you belong
te, Yank?"
Yank " Say, first who de you belong te,
Johnny?"
Johnny I don't care who knows. I
am a no w-cemcr here. Ours was the crack
brigade at the West. We stormed the hill
at Gorden's mill at Chickamauga. I belong
te Grocer's brigade, Preston's division,
Buckncr's corps. Hew is that for high?
We have only been here a few weeks, and
you had better keep your eyes open. New
who de you belong te?"
Yank" Yeu needn't blew hard. I be
long te Birncy's corps. We aie net going
te stay here long. We will be relieved
seen, and then you'll catch it. Because
Hancock t" coming and he'll move you."
Jehuny "Who the devil is Hancock,
and why will he move us?"
Yank" I just tell you Hancock is a
fighter. His corps fights like Billy
Mahone's boys. Loek out Johnny geed
bye."
A staff officer came riding forward,
Johnny and Yank scampered back te their
respective pests, and doubtless each was
ready te prove he had been sticking en
duty all the time.
But " ilanceck is a fighter ; his
corps fights like Billy Mahone's boys,"
was net forgetton by the reb. After 16
years he remembers it. It was a high
compliment te Mahone the gamecock of
the rebel army. It was a compliment
also te Hancock,' for he deserved te be
opposed by the very best.
The reb of 1864 sends his greeting te
federal of Birncy's corps, hopes he is well,
and that uuder an everlasting ti ace they
may live te see Hancock president. Then
the Blue and the Gray can sit down side
by side beneath the shade of the trees and
net be afraid of the staff'.

PARLIAMENT PROBOOU12D.
Her Majesty Queen Victeri.i'd Speech.
Parliament was prorogued yesterday.
The following was her majesty's speech,
read by the royal commission :
"My Lords and Gentlemen: It is
with satistactien that I find myself en
abled te release you from your arduous
labors. I continue te receive assurances
of the most friendly character, from -all
foreign powers. The failure of the
Sublime Perte te execute, according te
its arrangement, the plan agreed upeu in
April last for the determination of the
Ottemau frontier, lying towards Monte
negro, has caused unfortunate delays in
the settlement of that question, and the
treaty of Berlin has net yet taken effect
iu ether points of importance which re
mained open at the commencement of the
session. The governments which were
parties te that treaty have communicated
te the sultan their judgment en the means
of bringing te a satisfactory settlement
the Greek aud Montenegrin frontier ques
tions ; en the administrative organization
'of the European provinces of Turkey, and
en the principal reform required iu the
Asiatic provinces inhabited by the Arme
nians. Fer the attainment of the ob
jects in view we continue te place reliance
en the fact that the concert of Europe
has been steadily maintained iu regard
te the Eastern question, and that the
powers which signed the treaty of Berlin
are pressing upon the Sublime Perte with
all the authority which belongs te their
united action the measures which in their
belief arc best calculated te insure trail
quillity in the East. I have net been un
mindful during the past few months
which have elapsed since I last addressed
you, of the considerations which I have
stated would guide my policy in the north
western frontier of my Indian empire.
Measures have already been taken for the
complete military evacuation of northern
Afghanistan, and some progress has been
made toward toward the pacification and
settlement of the ceuutry. A renewal of
hostilities by the Afghans under Ayoob
Khan has rendered necessary further mili.
tary operations iu southern Afghanistan.''
" Seeing by Telegraph."
We have long produced movement, heat
and light by electricity, and of late we
have fallen into a way of speaking, writing,
and drawing by telegraph. But new, it
seems, we arc te sec by means of what is
truly the magic wire. A Dr. H. E. Licks,
of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has invcuted
an instrument which he calls the diaphetc,
and which has the power of showing in a
mirror at one end the image of any object
placed in front of a corresponding mirror
at the ether cud. These mirrors are com
posed, the one of selenium and chromium
aud the ether of selenium aud iedide of
silver substances very sensitive te light
aud heat. Each mirror is, moreover, built
up of a number of small plates, and the
corresponding couples arc connected by
separate wires. The receiving mirror is
placed in a camera, and receives from a
lens the pictures of any desired object.
The various gradations of light and form
falling en the plates of the mirror set up
variations in the electrical currents tra
versing the cenuecting wires. These var
iations cause changes in the plates com
posing the reproducing mirror, which
thereupon exhibits an image of the
object. A public exhibition of this
ingenious instrument took place very
recently at Reading, in the United
States. The receiving mirror was taken
down te a room below the hall in which
the spectators were asscmpled, aud various
objects, such as an apple, a penknife, a
dollar, a watch, part of the piintcd hand
bill, &c, were successively placed in front
of it, and immediately became visible te
the audience; aud when, at length, the
head of a live kitten was thus seen by tel
egraph, the enthusiasm of all present was
wrought up te frenzy. This reads well,
and in the interest of science we hope it is
all true. Yerk (Eng.) Heuse Papers.
SENATOR WALLACU'S HOi'ES.
Confident of Democratic Success.
Senater Wallace was encountered at the
Girard house en Monday, and cenvci scd
with a correspondent rcrardhir the
political outlook. He said that the man
agers of the campaign felt mere than us
ually confident regarding Indiana, for
reasons that would appear en election day.
The entire ground had been carefully gene
ever without any parade, and the result
of the October election there could be safe
ly presaged. The senator, with his well
known caution, declined te make the
same declaration regarding Ohie. "The
result in that state depends upon Hamil
ton county," said he, "and word has been
received from Cincinnati this afternoon
which would indicate that two of the con
gressional districts in that county arc cer
tain te return Democratic candidates. I
think it is a fact which even my Republi
can friends will admit, if they arc candid,
that General Garfield's personal popular
ity is net great throughout his own state.
However, Ohie is net of vital interest te
us Regarding Pennsylvania, I may say
that our confidence is steadily increasing.
State pride is having that full measure of
effect which all students of election re
turnshavc learned te count upon with mere
or less certainty. We are, therefore, real
ly in hopes of redeeming this state from
Republican rule. At this moment, howev
er, I may say frankly that our eyes are
set Westward."

Returns of tbe election in Vermont, held
yesterday, iudicate the usual Republican
majority in that state of about 23,000. The
campaigu iu that state was a dress parade,
the exertions of both parties being made
te get out their fullest vote, and of course
as the state is two te one Republican their
increase is the larger. They have about
held their own and regained the congress
man elected in 1878 by the Greenback
Democratic fusion.
Partial returns from a number of coun
ties in Arkansas indicate the election of
Churchill, Democrat, for governor, ever
Parks, Greenback, by a majority rauging
between 40,000 and 50,000. Frem returns
received aud as estimated by these best
informed it is believed that the proposed
constitutional amendment repudiating
certain' state bends will fail te receive a
majority of all the votes cast as required
by the constitution te insure its adoption.
Such an opportunity te avoid the payment
of obligations has net always been
neglected by debt-ridden commonwealths,
North as well as Seuth. The sturdy sense
of honor which led the voters of Arkansas
te repudiate repudiation seems also te
have actuated the Democrats of Tennessee
as they have taken a similarly judicious
stand in their convention. There is evident
ly a streak of fine regard for the sanctity
of a contract running through that part of
the country.
The municipal election in Wilmington,

Mr. J. Nerman Babcnck, a leading Re
publican farmer of LaGrange county, Iu

change, in Garfield's connection with
Credit Mebilicr and DeGelyer and in the
sectionalism of the Republican party. He
said that this was the fittest time te unite
the country in the bends of conciliation
and that General Hancock's election would

tional weapon, the razor, fired a pistol at
him. The ball missed its mark and buried
itself in the skull of a Republican who was
standing en the opposite side of the street.

A BONANZA KINO'S PALACE.
The
tiorgeeas American ," Oakery'
That
JUlIIOBmlra flood U Building.
The San Francisce JTeus-Letter says:
"The rural palace which is being erected
for 3Ir. J. C. Floed, at Menlo Park, is an
object of great interest te the people of
California. Aside from its being one of
the most magnificent country residences iu
the world net even excluding the famous
"Dukeries" of England the edifice is
justly regarded by Californians as a monu
ment te the almost phenomenal enterprise
and success which have given the Gelden
state se many millionaires. We have at
various times described the principal fea
tures of the building as work progressed,
and having recently made an excursion te
3Ienle Park, and inspected the mansion,
we arc able te speak of its crowning glory
the frescoing of the interior. This all
important department has been instructed
te Sig. Gariboldi, an artist whose fame is
net confined te California, but is as highly
esteemed iu Europe as it is here. Fer fer
tility of imagination and originality of de
sign, Gariboldi is probably unrivaled
among living artists. It must be remem
bered that his services have been called
into requisition whenever a "great house"
has had te be frescoed in California. The
fact that he is sought after abroad hits suf
ficed te make him the fashionable rage in
San Francisce. Knewing hew contagious
fashion is, we cannot marvel at this envi envi
able notoriety, but we confess te a sense of
wonder at his ability te meet se many de
mands upon his ingenuity and skill. It is
easy enough te reproduce one's own de
signs, no matter hew clever the original
may have been, but te create " something
different," every time is quite another af
fair. Sig. Gariboldi accomplishes this.
The chief merit of his work lies in the fact
that he never repeats himself. Unlike or
dinary fresco painteis (even the best of
them) his designs are never duplicated.
31 r. Floed's mansion has profited richly
from this singular gift. Every ceiling
in the house that Gariboldi or his work
men have touched is as unique as it
is beautiful. Each design is a novo! con
ception ; startling in its boldness, possibly,
but at the same time extremely fasci
nating by virtue of its beautiful execution.
Te illustrate this', we have only te mention
the ceiling of a single room and a mere
bed-room at that. A curtain of cloth of
geld, suspended at its four corners, is
drawn gracefully ever what appears te be
a most gorgeous picture. Glimpses of this
picture appear iu places where the droop
ing curtain fails te conceal its hidden
beauties, and hcic and there the carelessly
arranged fold of the drapery discloses a
lining of " ashes-of-rescs " silk. Could a
a mere dainty idea be conceived ? And yet
this is a work of ait which the designer re
gards as a mere trifle compared with his
mere elaborate performances. Of course,
iu an undertaking of this sort, the various
recognized styles of decoration have te be
followed. Thus, the various rooms of the
mansion represent the schools of Leuis
Quinze Pompeii, the Rcnnaissaucc period,
the Raphaclcsquc order, aud the modern
tcachiugs of Eastlakc. But it is re
markable that the whole is per
vaded by th-3 peculiar genius of
Gariboldi. He may confeim te the
patterns of Raphael or Eastlakc, but the
exquisitely delicate tints that have made
his work the admiration of the world arc
essentially his own. In a word, he has a
knack of making mere beautiful that
which was beautiful before. The stamp
of originality is set upon everything he
touches. Ner is innate genius the only
qualification required for the performance
of such work. An artist of Garibaldi's
grade must net rest content with a knowl
edge of line perspective ; an acquaintance
with aerial perspective must also be count
ed among his accomplishments, and a fine
sense of a complete knowledge of archi
tecture. In ether words, he must be an
artist, an architect aud a scientist, all in
one. Fer one man te execute such a vast
amount of labor as the Floed mausieu
calls for would, of course, be an impossi
bility. Ner is such a feat necessary. Signer
Gariboldi has no fewer than twenty-five
artists working under his superintendence,
each a special expert in his own line, each
performing his allotted task under the
personal supervision of the master's eye.
The decorative work, as we have said, is
new nearly half completed. The second
flour and rear of the building arc finished.
The hall en the first lloer is albe nearly
done. About eight rooms still await the
brush, and, when the finishing touch is
put te them, California will be able te
beast of the finest specimen of decorative
art in the world."
YOUNG VOTKKS.
True Words for Them te 'llilnl: About.
Frem a Speech sit Albany by Ihc Hen. S. S.
Cox.
It has been said that it is a giuat thing
te be a young man. Appeals aic made te
the newly-flcdgcd voters te vote for the
Republican party as the party of pure
and pious policies and purposes. Having
been nearly a quarter et a century in Con
gress, and having passed untainted every
ordeal and test, 1 have the light te say a
word te the young aspirant for legislative
honors. I would say te him. Observe
these rules iu public service : Fiist, regard
your office as a trust, net a place for de
vices and greed; second, represent net
public nor private corporations or mer
cenary or ether jobs ; third, de net even
borrow money of these who have such
schemes afoot, for their own aggrandize
ment, however guiscd by the veueer of
public utility ; fourth, de net take stock or
dividends in such schemes, for it means
your prostitution, sooner or later te come
out te the light ; fifth, when you de bor
row, if you must aud de borrow in round
sums, say 300 or $330 net $320 just
enough for a peculiar dividend ; sixth, de
net accept law fees, when you are net
practising, in matters net legal in a pro
fessional sense and en which your are te
speak and vote ; savcuth, de net try te
increase your salary by your own vote,
much less go back te previous Congresses
with the increase, for plain folk will think
it little less than stealing. Applause. 1
Thusjea may save j-eur sensibility from
haggard discontent and remorse. And if
you de in some moment of simplicity and
temptation,
Like a bird or a bough, which tilting swings,
Heedless of right una wrong,
forget these lessens for young legislators,
de net He about it. Simplicity and re
pentance will net rcmove suspicion ; and a
public man must be irreproachable. Dear
old Sir Reger Cevcrly was willing te give
his female friend a coal pit te keep her in
clean linen, and would have a hundred of
his dirty acres sparkle en her fiugcrs. But
his was a simplicity that did net smutch,
and a generosity that was only beautiful.
Net such arc the gifts of the greedy lobby
te the corrupt congressmen. Remember
the words of Ged from Sinai, out of the
thunder and the quakings : "Theu shalt
take no gift ; for the gift blindcth the wise
and preventeth the words of the righteous!"
Exodus, xxiii., 80. Thank Ged, no such
suspicious or taints fall upon our Demo
cratic nominees, f Cheers. They arc pure
geld, refined in the fire. Hew is it as be
tween the candidates for vice president? I
have already referred te General Arthur.
I de net knew hew he get his title te Gen
eral. Ne bleed, I think, stains his militia
record. De we knew him as a fit and
honest collector? What can wc think of
him as the presiding officer of the United
States Senate, and as a possible president?
Compared with him. regard William li.
English. Cheers. I knew him well, hav
ing served with him in critical 'times, when
the first specks of war were seen ou our
horizon, and when slavery in Kansas
threatened, before the great war came te
dispart the Union. It was by defeating the
no weu nis
that crisis
pluck 'and judgment, and, by a device as
fair as it was successfuLgave te the people
of Kansas the squatter right, by voting te
discard slavery, which has been fixed in
the Lecompton constitution, te give that
new state a free constitution. That Eng
glish bill turned en my vote. It was given
ever twenty-two years age, iu April, 1858.
I have never seen cause te repent it. It
was a pathway through mauifeld trouble,
and by some concession toward union and
peace. I voted for the measure en the
ground that it would blot out slavery.
This it did. It led te the admission of
Kansas afterward, under its prevision as a
free state.

Details of the Drowning Accident at Het

September 4, by which BIrs. llenncssy, an
American lady, Viscount Fleury, and two
natives of Eagland were drowned from a

The beat consequently beat en the rocks
and was capsized. A young Russian with
the party made great efforts te save his
companions. 3Irs. llenncssy clung te a

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
FUN ON TUG PACIFIC."
Mublc and Mirth at Fulton Opera Heuse.
The musical comedy of "Fun en the
Pacific," produced by Ferd's company at
Fulton opera house last evening before an
audience of fair numbers, is an adaptation
of a work by Tem Tayler, the lately de
ceased dramatist, supplemented with a
score of bright aud ear-taking numbers
from half as many popular comic operas.
The music is of course the main feature,
but the fuu that prevails is continuous and
mirth-provoking. The piece represents a
meny party of tourists en route from
China te San Francisce via S.S. " Spray,"
and the scenes enacted are supposed te
transpire in the cabin or en the deck of
that saucy ship, until the staunch little
vessel gees down in a storm of which a net
very terrifying representation in miniature
is afforded the spectator, and from which the
party make their escape te a coral island
wheic the play is brought te a conclusion
after the audience is assured that ample pro pre
vision for their safe transportation home
is secured. As one et a class of cur
rent comedies new iu high favor this
melange of love-making, fun-making and
pretty music is sure te achieve
a popularity that will last until something
newer and fresher rises up te usurp its
place. The distribution of characters last
evening included a number of favorites
in the community, and it was such a
geed-looking and geed-natured cast that
the audience settled itself right down te be
pleased from the start, and net even the
breach of geed manners perpetrated by
one of the performers during the evening
was sufficient te disturb the equanimity of
the house. 3Iiss Belle 3Iackcnzic was
a prime favorite from the outset. Her
pretty face, winning manner, and withal
admirable acting.more than compensate for
her lack of a voice remarkable for power
or purity, but which is at all events sweet
and captivating. This charming little lady
as Mary Eastlakc made quite a hit in her
drilling song and costume, in her rendition
of a pretty ballad and in several ether airs,
while her voice sounds even better in duct
and trio than in sole. 3Iiss Marie
Beckel and her peculiar accent were
as pleasing as ever; she is a
capital actress, and her fine soprano
voice has lest nothing in texture or com
pass. Her most pronounced hit was in her
rendition of that wonderfully pretty waltz
song from Gilbert & Sullivan's "Pirates,"
which was of course rapturously encored,
as indeed were the majority of the best
things. The audience, as before remarked,
were in the humor te be pleased, and if by
carrying this disposition tee far, and in
sisting ou tee many repetitions they suffer
ed a rebuff at the hands of one of the act
ors whom they were apparently specially
anxious te compliment, they were at least
partially te blame themselves for asking
for mere than their money's worth.
3Ir. Cushman is, however, sufficiently
acquainted with the etiquette of the
stage te knew that offensive allu
siens te the size of an audience is ene of
the violations of geed taste in au actor,
and he might have contented himself with
declining te reappear without hisdistrcssirg
attempts at forced wit. Miss Blanche
Thompson retains her held en public
favor here and sang and acted with great
acceptability, whilst there was no better
acting than that of 3Irs. Fanny Dcnham
r Reuse, who filled the role of wife, but
grass widow for ten years, te perlcctien
and created a very ferment of fun. Of the
men Mr. Jehn js. uieeert wen special
praise for his capital impersonation, and
Mr. Herbert R. Archer made a favorable
impression by his handseme face, easy
stage presence and splendid voice, his
rendition of a bass sole from the "Royal
3Iiddy," and the "3IarseiIIaisc," being
exceptionally fine 3Ir. Frank Cushman
is a geed negre comedian, and
he was favorably received in his
eccentricities. The trio, quartet
and chorus effects were marked,
and one of the brighest of the
many "gems of the evening" was the
singing of Blisses Beckel, 3Iackcnzie and
Thompson, in their budget of merry airs
as the Alpine Warblers in their picturesque
costumes. The "Spanish Students" were
very amusing. The operas which contrib
uted te the merry music of the evening
were "Camargo," "Beccaccio," "Fati
nitza," "Royal 3Iiddy," "Pirates of Pen
zance," and several ethers net se well
known hereabouts, with a number of
clever minstrels effects. The entertain
ment was breezy and bracing from end te

THE DEMOCRACY.
E1U11TU AND NINTH WAKDS IN LINK.
Iteuftlng Demonstration en the Illll Fine
Parade et the Ninth Ward Club la
Pull Uniform There' Victory
in the Air.
One the iin.t enthusiastic impromptu
political demonstrations ever witnessed in
Lancaster t.ek place last evening, result
ing in a brilliant street parade by the
Ninth waid Hancock aud English club,
and the largest mass meeting ever held in
the Eighth ward, that Gibra!ttr of Democ
racy, se noted for its great majorities.
There had been no public announcement of
the affair ether than a short advertisement
in the Ixtem.igexcek that the respective
clubs would held their respective ward
meetings. The Eighth ward club had
simply cxtcntlc I the Ninth ward club an
invitation t; pay them a friendly visit and
the latter club accepted the invitation.
Shortly after 7 o'clock the Ninth ward
club assembled at their headquarters at
Arneld Haas's hotel, North Queen street.
They numbered one hundred men, fully
equipped in handsome new equipments,
consisting of white cap, white ncck-tie,
dark blue shirt with light blue shield'en
the breast, with a large "9 " in the centre
of the shield, and a white belt with blue
binding containing the names of Ilanceck
and English in led letters.
The club was quickly formed for parade,
each man carrying a lighted torch, and,
with the Eden cornet band at the head of
the column, marched like veteraus down
North Queen street, around the monu
ment, and out West King street te 3Ianer.
Here they were met by a delegation of the
Eighth want club and escorted ever the fel
lowing route : West King te Derwart, te
3Ianer, te Leve Lane, te High, te head
quarters at Diehi's saloon. The men pre
sented a very handsome appearance,
marched with much precision and were
greeted with tremendous cheers all along
the line. Many buildings were illuminated,
flags were dying at various points, aud a
great red lantern swung from the top of
the Ilanceck hickory en West King street.
The scene at the Eighth ward head
quarters was most inspiring. Cheer upon
cheer and a tine display of fireworks
greeting the visting club, while the streets
in the vicinity of the club room were
packed with a greater mass of enthusiastic
Democrats than ever before assembled
there.
When order was somewhat restored,
Jehn Pentz, president of the Eighth ward
club called the assemblage te order, and
introduced B. F. Davis, esq., who, en be
half of the club extended the visitors a
warm welcome, complimented them en
their fine appearance, gentlemanly beha
vior, and enthusiasm in behalf of Demo
cracy. Although the last of the wards
in numerical order, they are the first te be
fully organ;.: 1, equipped, and ready for
the approaching contest indeed they are
the first Democratic ward club that has
ever, before appeared in full uniform. 3Ir.
Davis, at some length, discussed the political
issues of the day, and was listened te with
deep interest, which was only interrupted
with round after round of applause. He
was followed by W. II. Reland, esq., who
made his maiden speech before the sturdy
Democrats of the old Eighth ward. It
was delivered iu ringing tones in felici
tous lancuauc, aud bristled all ever with
argument. S. W. Shadle made the con
cluding speech, which, if net "the greatest
effort of his life," was full of merit and
met the cordial approval of his hearers.
During the evening there was fine music
by the baud and the Glee club, and 3Ir.
Geerge Pout z sang ene of his inimitable
original campaign songs which of course
kept the multitude iua rear. The "hos
pitalities of the house" were then extended
the visitors, after which the parade re
formed, marched through Filbert street te
3Ianer, thence te West King, Centre
Square and North Queen te the club head
quarters, where ranks were broken and
the demonstration ended.
Thus far the Democracy have taken the
lead in all public demonstrations iu this
city. They were the first te put up poles,
the first te held mass meetings, the first te
raise the party banners, the first te equip
themselves and the first te have a torch
light precession. Who can doubt that
they will come out "first best " at the
coming clectiei, having for their standard
bearer the hcr. and statesman, General
Winficld Scott Ilanceck.
Among tlu members of the Ninth ward
club who p.n ailed last uight was Ucv. 31.
