1ords of Creation.
Tho feebleness rut human nature is
proverbial. Though our energies of
mind and body, when united together,
can conquer nations, cover the earth
with a network of railways, chain the
thunderbolts of Jove, and practically
annihilate space, yttus individuals we
regard one another aa amongst the
niost Impotent creatures t hat come from
the hands of our Maker. Though
man, in the abstract, is lord of crea
tion, in the concrete, he U nn object
slave to the vaguest whims and fan
cies. In common with his fellow
beings, he holds sway over the savage
hearts of glade and jungle ; place him
by himself near a bear-pit in the
menagerie, and ho clings with a feel
ing of terror to the iron railings, lest
he should topple over.and be devoured
by his captive bruin. He will, nt
times, exert the superiority of his
rights over the brute creation, by an
noying them as they crouch, behind
the bars that keep them confined
among their civilized rulers. He will
make so bold as to sound the backbone
of an alligator with a gold headed
cane, or throw peanut shells at the
eyes of some dozing tiger. We have
even seen the gentler portion of hu
man nature become so courageous as
to pass ginger snaps on their fans to
the chattering, mischievous monkeys.
Let but the captive show his teeth or
elevate his tail, ami at once his petty
anuoyers shrink away from his pres
ence, "to go and see the elephant."
The superiority of mind over matter
has long been proclaimed by the
Would-be rulers of both. Poets, whose
eyes, "in i'mj frenzy rolling, " scan
emp.vriau heights, and read the
secrets of our lordly nature, do not
disdain to east their optics around in
search of something material where
with to satisfy the lower man. They
may pretend to mount the winged
Pegasus, with no other hopes than
that they may be bourne aloft to the
purer regions of deserving fame, even
though no material advantage may
greet them in their aerial pas-age. As
they upward fly, they scan the surface
of lower earth in search of (lattery and
greenbacks, like tho stately eagle
which hovers above the crested peak,
yet scans the valley below, to pounce
when it can, upon a crippled sheep or
donkey. Statesmen and Icam.ters,
engineers and rag-pickers, are, alike,
dupes of their own misguided fancies,
when they begin to land thechastened
nobility of their natures, whieh rise,
they would persuade us, above the
sordid things of earth. The very
question "what is the matter?" so
repeated by the busy world, shows us
that our tendencies are downward,
even (hough our open pretentions in
the walks of science, an, and mental
improvements generally, would pass
us oil" as the sincercsi devotees of in
teleclual advancement. Very few, if
any, will ask ' what, i.s tho mind ?" Of
eour.ic we must all uekiiiMvlodje that
what custom has introduced among
us should be entitled to some consider
ation and respect. If novelty seeker-i
would now begin to revolutionise the
existing order of things the world
would be turned into one grand
babel of confusion; sensible men
would the from their fellow men, and
bury themselves in solitude, rather
than expose themselves to what, they
would be pleased to term universal
insanity. However, when we look
intoexistiug customs, and endeavor to
find out the reason of their origin, we
discover that many of them took their
rise from the misguided fancies of
those who really believed themselves
omnipotent to rule their fcllowiuun in
thought as well as action. Succeeding
generations receive the boasts ns well
as the laurels of their predeeus.iors,and
treasure them with simple reverence,
because, perehailce, those vanities are
recommended by their hallowed dust
of years. We do not wish to depre
ciate the greatness of human nature;
such an attempt would be useless, and
perhaps sacrilegious; we only laugh
in u moment of levity at the folly of
those persons who will listen ton
generoiu truth, and believe they can
exemplify it in their puny selves. We
are lords of creation; but which of
us to show his superiority, will dare
to bridle a refractory mule? We com
mand the ocean, yet which of us will
ultempt to appease the rebellious
waves, which toss us about like corks,
when we enter our watery realm at
Long Brunch or Coney Island? We
know that to tho vague rule called
humanity, of which we constitute
a part, the whole earth is subject,
with its mines of wealth in the' veg
etable, mineral and animal kingdoms;
yetus individual parts of the whole
monarch, we may not possess a bushel
of corn to pay the tribute which in
turn is exacted from us by our tyrant
stomachs; of all the gold and silver
which line the floors of our terrestrial
dominions, we may not own a fraction
sufficient to pass us through a circus
tent, or admit us to the pantomime
of Humpty Dunipty.

Boston Traveller, "it Is to the
credit of General Garfield the: he ha
utterly decline;! to make replies to the
hordes of catechizcr.s who have in
vaded bis home at Mentor, fur the
purpose of demanding answers at
once to certain questions. There was
a delegation from the Cleveland, ().,
Young Men's Christian Association
who insisted on certain tests of the
General's religious orthodoxy. Mrs.
Susan B. Anthony journeyed' to Men
tor to demand an unswer whether
( iartleld would support female suil'er
a;.eoruot, while a temperance dele
gation wanted to know immediately
whether he would maintain in the
White House the Hayes standard of
abstinence. Whether replies to Vhcse
questions would be desirable or not,
the method of the demands are mani
festly improper, and whatever sup
port or iulluence General Garfield
may lose by not responding to them
will be amply made up by other sup
port, which would not otherwise have
been given to him had he pursued a
less dignified and manly course."
Wilkes-barre Ilccord of the Times:
"We notice among tho published
members of the National Committee
Hancock Veterans credited to the
State of Pennsylvania the name of
General W. 11. McCartney of this
city. The gentlemen who had the or
ganization of this Committee have evi
dently acted without consultation
with the veterans selected, otherwise
they could not have made such a blun
der. General McCartney was a val
iant soldier, serving with distinction
throughout the war, in command of
Massachusetts Light Artillery. He
was at Gettysburg, and with Hancock
fought the armed Democracy who
were arrayed against this Govern
ment. He very much regrets that
in peace General Hancock has as
sumed the leadership of the same rebel
horde which he opposed in war, and
thus has made their political compan
ionship impossible. General McCart
ney will vote as he fought ou the
side of the Union, aud for Garfield

Democrats Alarmed.
Washiii'-ton, Autr. 10. Letters re
ceived at J)t moerutic, hcmitiuurtcrs
here show much anxiety about some
of the cony ressional districts in the
South. In the Memphis district much
opposition is repotted nainst Casey
1 "nun, aim lears ure entertained ot a
combination which will insure his de
feat. The grounds of opposition are
said to be local. In the first and
Third North Carolina districts, now
represented by Martin and Kussell,
Republicans, the efforts of the Demo
crats to rcjiain the district are not
meeting with success. In Virginia
three districts ure reported certain to
KO ltepuhlican. They ure the Peters
burg, Norfolk and Warrenton. frfhe
Democrats concedegains in the house
from the north, and were in hope of
preventing u Republican majority by
wresting from the ltepublicaus the
districts they now hold uj tho south.
Democratic advances do not encour
age this hope, losses instead. In
Florida the prospects of the Itepubll
ctins are so fluttering thut an appeal
has been sent to Democratic head
quarters in New York for funds to
hold thut state.
The Heading Times and Dispatch
has no doubt of the result in Pennsyl
vania. Here is the expression of the
editor's belief : "Hancock cuu make
110 headway against Garfield. The
Republicans are certain to elect their
State ticket und curry both brunches
of the liew Legisluture, with probubly
a guin of several Congressmen in the
Stute representation. Whatever other
States may do, Pennsylvania will be
found as soundly Republican as ever
