A friend iella ju'ot . tilp story of a

A part of the story our friend him

of Deople named Datants moved to

on the ueiamria ana uuariotte itnu
road, 109 miles from Colombia. Pre
vious to and at the time of the re
moval tho faatily owned an no usual

pet of each member of the household.
Vben the removal td Columbia was
made, yof eourse Tom went along,
and seemed to enjoy tbe ride on tho
railway , trains beyoutt - bis limitod
powers of expression. 'He waa first

the knees of the head of the family,
then he would cross over to the seat
occupied by his young master or his
young mistress, all the while purring
and curling hi long tail, as much as
to say, "Isn't this fine fun, this fast
traveling, and we all so snugly seat
ed iu a warm car on this cold Decem

Tom went along with tbe rost of the
family to the now domicile, follow

Fannam, who lived in the time of
Eugene I I f measured eleven and a

The Chevalier 9crog.in his voyage
to the Peak Teneriffo, found in one
of the caverns of that mountain the
head of , the Uanioh, who hod sixty
teeth, aud was not loss than fifteen
feet high.
The giant Faregus, slain by Orlan
do nephew of Charlomagoo, was
twentvoight feet high.
In iSlt, near t Gornad, was
found the tomb of the giant Isoloot,
who was uot less than thirty feet
high.
In 1690, nonr Uiuon, was f Min i a
skeleton whose skn'.l held a bnshol of
cjrn aud ..who woe nineteen feet
high.
The giant Baeart was twentytwo
feet high his thigh bones were

In i 1623 near the , o a a 1 1 e in

The skeleton was found on tiro, twun-ty-fivo

Near Palermo, in Sicily, in 1519
was found the skeleton of a giant

Wo havo no doubt that there wcro

the history of giants during the olden

The ' several State associations,

ing documents within their respec

ergnes sneeem in the accomplish
ment of much good in enlightening
the poople on the political questions
of the day. ,
. We liko that feature in tho action
of these Associations Which eviden
ces a grntitudo to the party that
gives thorn employment. Tha b una
ly motto, "to praise the bridge that
carrios you ovor,' expressos a duty,
tho performance of which is com
mendable. It is p irtioularl v appli
cable to these political organizations,
for they are made np of those in the
aorvioe of the Ooverninent. Tho
least that thoy can do to show nn
appreciation of the favors they have
received is to give a small portion of
their time to the dissemination of
publio documents, to instruct the
people at home, and afford them a
part at least of the advantages which
wo enjoy at the political centra
Although numerous are the actual
frauds being plaood before tha poo
plo for the purpose of willfully mis
leading them, tho course of Ooveruor
Tildcn, on the Itesumption Bill, falls
little short of downright dishonesty.
(Je hesitates not to say that, in bis
opinion, a "roturu to specie payments
will not and cannot bo reached in
harmony with tho interests of the
people." Mow. then, does ho recon
cile his action in approving the bill
passed at Albany, declaring it obli
gatory on nil citizens of New York
to make payments on contracts or
obligations drnwu after January 1,
1879, in gold only. Uo never hesi
tutod to declaru in favor of hard cur
renr-y until nfter mooting Mr. Hen
dricks at Saratoga. Ho sternly re
sisted all "soft" delegations from tho
Went and South until be mot his
"rnnning-mato." He has bound ev
ery New Yorker after a givon date to
pay in gold or national notes redeem
able in gold, and now declares a re
turn to specie payments, will not be
iu accord "with the interests of the
people,'! and to make it so endeavors
to destroy the only method by which
tho Oovornmont may make its notes
redeemable in gold, and the coin ob
tainable savo at broker's rates. All
taxes, and every contract within that
3tate must unqualifiedly be paid in
gold otvgold tiotes. Inhabitants of
other States may settle their iodebt
eduess in "wild oat."
Did Oovornor Tildon bid for Wall
street gold when he signed that bill T
Did be bid lor the "grangor vote
when, in obedience to Hendrick s
demand, he declared that the time
for resumption would be "when
trade permitted it?" To save Indi
ana be declares tor 'soft' raouey, just
so as to secure bis election, (and
suffer his own bank stocks,) he de
clared for 'hard' in New York," "all
things to all men, ' the end justifies
the melius.'' His course is not
merely domagogiaui, it is crime, just
as much so as to his swearing to 4X
000 'iron money' in Michigan, liable
to taxation, wheu the amount was
nearer C3OO-0OO. Ue is a shrowd
politioao, playiug for big stakes, and
ready to sacrifice principles when
they conflict with hie interests. Dear
Itiobmond was more than observant,
when he declared that "uo politioan
should have a record of more than
ninety days." - Tilden's betrayal of
the natiou would be 'consistent wita
