Whex a Republican Governor of a
State, or tbe President of the United
States, goes away to a watering place,
the Democrats yell over it like a parcel
of heathens. James Buchanan and
Democratic Presidents beyond him
very summer of their lives while Pres
ident of the United States, attended
Tjpon some one of tbe numerous sum
mer resorts. If it is an offense or a
sin fot a Republican President or Gov
ernor to do such things, it was an of
fense and sin for the ez Democrats. If
that party Lave prayed their friends
out of purgatory for their shortcomings,
they should perform tbe part of tbe
good Samaritan toward tbeir Republi
can brethren, pray for theni. That
would be charity. It would be much
better than so much swearing and ugly
talk against the Republicans for attend
ing summer resorts. If, bowewer, that
does not suit, there are the Democratic
Governors of New York State and New
Jersey now at Long Branch pray for
them, brethren. Isn't it an outrage
that Tildcn, the Governor of the State
of New York should go to a summer
resort, and be a Democratic reformer.
If tbe Democratic reformers do what
they condemn aud blame other people
for doing, what will they do if they get
control of tbe Nation ?
The Treasurer of this Commonwealth
Las been holding a balancs of about
one million of dollars in the vaults of
tbe State. For that he has been round
ly abased by the Democrats. It appears
now that in York State the Democratic
Treasurer holds a balance of four mil
lions in bis vaults. Will the Democ
racy give us a little talk on that. It
isn't nice to have such a dirty door
and then talk about other people's doors.
Abot three thousand acres of corn
between Terre Haute and Ilntsonville,

News Items.
A N'ew York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gizcitt writes : John Mor
riseey boards at tbe Hoffman House,
and those who frequent that noted inn
are familiar with his' muscular foim.
Mornssev was, in early lire, t laborer
in a foundry at Troy. He was then
known as a boxer, and afterwards open
ed gmggery in the saite city, and
added to it a gambling house of cheap
character. He found tbe latter so
profitable tbat he catne to this city and
estoblisbcd a successful "bell." He
also became a pohticito, and obtained
control of the low order of the so
called Democracy. This gave him
seat in Congress, and be was fitting
successor to Mike Walsh. Since then
be bas continued to unite faro and
statesmanship. His 'hell'' in this city
has witnessed tbe ruin of multitudes,
and during some of its best months in
the season the amount lost would equal
fifty thousand dol'ars a night. He bas
been obliged to pay enormous subsidies
to escape prosecution, but of late polit
ical antagonism has led to tbe closing
of this place of ruin. Morrissey is mar
ried, and has ooe son, who is now about
twenty, and thus far is a well-behaved
youth. Tbe latter lives at Saratoga
Springs with his mother, for Morrissey
keeps bis domestic arrangements in that
famous watering place, where be main
tains another "bell," or M club-bouse,"
as he calls it. This establishment is a
notorious spot for " fighting tbe tiger,"
and tbe young bloods of this city find
it tbeir strongest attraction to tbat spot.
Strange as it may seem, many of the
Saratoga people think Morrissey to be
a benefactor, since he draws to much
money there. Morrissey is intimate
with Tilden, on whom he exercises no
small degree of influence. Tbe reason
is found in the fact that he wields tbe
masterv of a heavy vote. His chief
antagonist is Kelley, of the " Young
Democracy," aud tbeir broils have fre
quently rent Tammany Hall. Morris
sey has, of late, speculated with seme
success and is now supposed to be very
rich, but, as be is engaged in a life of
risk and hazard, there is a strong prob
ability tbat he will eventually abate
tbe gambler's fate. If there will be
anything left of this splendid property
at tbe end of ten years, it will be eon
trarv to '.he nsual experience. At
present nobody knows how much Mor
rissey is worth, and before another
vear he ruav be a bankrupt. Morris
sey differs from most sporting men in
this point : He cares very little or fiue
horses, aud, though he owns some, he
bas never paid a high price for any of
such animals. His turn is ratber for
jewelry and diamonds, of which he
sometimes makes such a display as prop
erly makes a member of the fancy.
Breadstuff's in Prance and other Eu
ropean countries have advanced, but
not sufficiently to raise the price in this
country.
The World's Council of Presbyte
rian ministers met in London last week.

Another case of suttee, says tbe
Timet of India, has occurred in a small
village near Lucknow. Tbe following
are tbe details of tbe ease : " Having
bathed and dressed, the suttee went to
the burning place, accompanied by her
relatives and a number of low-caste
Hindoos, who were ill charge of tbe
dead body. Wood being scarce, tbe
funeral pile was in part constructed or
other fuel, which was heaped round tbe
woman as she sat with the head of her
deceased husbaud in ber lap. Tbe pile
was then covered with straw ; her
nephew banded the suttee a lighted
torch, and in a moment tbe whole mass
was on fire. Tbe Chowkeydar and the
policeman, when they arrived, found
ou ly a heap of ashes. About thirty
persons, including tbe village headman
and the woman's relatives, have been
committed to tbe Sessions, on the charge
of having been directly or indirectly
guilty of murder."

Tbe great swimming match between
J. B. Johnson, of England, and Thomas
Coyle, of Chester, Pa., last Thursday,
resulted in a victory for Johnson. It
bad been held heretofore that Coyle
possessed the greatest endurance and
that Johnson was the fastest swimmer,
but tbe reverse proved to be tbe case.
Coyle moved faster in the water, and
came up at each stroke with a puff,
while Johnson swam nnder more water,
and sideways, and rarely spirted water.
Tbe start was not effected until 1:43
o'clock this afternoon, when both men
plunged from tbe tug Amanda Powell
and struck out for their respective
guides. Johnson led for about 200
yards, when Coyle spirited and dashed
after biin. When one-fourth mile from
tbe start Coyle overtook Johnson and
opened a gap. He was led by John
Rutter in a boat carrying the American
flag while Johnson's guide, Joe Pepper,
carried the British colors. Coyle took
tbe main ship channel up the river and
gained the advautage of the tide, which
was going with him. Johnson took tbe
western course, close to the shore, and
tbrongb a channel where tbe water was
smooth. At each stroke Coyle raised
half his body from the water, while
Johnson was barely perceptible except
ing now and then bis bead appearsd,
which showed his position. In tbe first
and second miles C yle swam thirty
four strokes to the minute, which he
afterward increased, so that in the
third aiid fourth miles he was dashing
through the water at the rate of forty
two strokes to the minute. Johnson's
strokes could not be counted because
of his peculiar mode of swimming. In
forty-seven minutes from tbe starting
time Coyle bal swum three miles, while
Johnson was three-quarters of a mile
behind him. Coy la now bapan to feel
tBe exciteuieut, and, taking a flask from
bis guide, took a long draught of whisky.
He said he felt all right, and after
drinking dashed away with renewed
vigor. The cry now went out "John
son is beaten and so it appeared.
Tbe betting men began to hedge, and
the excitement ran high. When the
fourth mile had been reached, Johnson
began to gain on Coyle, swimming
swiftly, and made a dash across tbe
river to follow Coyle's course. This
seemed fonhsb, but had tbe desired
effect ripon bi antagonist, who was in
formed of Johnson's movements, and
attempted to move with greater alacrity.
He kept it op until tbe Block House
was reached, and to tbe lower end of
lied Bauk, being then five miles from
the stake boat. Jobnson was lagging
about a mile in the rear. Coyle asked
for a drink, and bis wants beirg satis
fied, was asked by Rutter how he felt.
"Oh," he replied, "first-rate. I'm not
tired." This was satisfactory, bnt in
two minntea from the time it was no
ticed tbat, instead of going ahead,
Coyle had gone backward about twenty
yards. It was thought that it was on
account of the tide, which bad turned
and was fast running cut. Suddenly
be threw up bis bands and began to
sink. A waterman named Taylor
caught him and, with assistance, raised
bim to Lis boat. He was exhausted,
his lips were black, and bis pulse had
almost ceased to beat. Tbe throbs of
tbe heart were irregular and bnt faintly
perceptible. Medical assistance was
summoned and tbe swimmer rowed
aboard a tug and carried to tbe finish.
He was nncoDscious at 8 o'clock tbat
evening. When Jobnson beard tbat
Coyle bad given up be leaped from tbe
water and turned two complete lomet
saults, then dashed on at a tremendous
speed, swimming a mile and a half fur
ther, thus winning tbe contest, the eon
tract specifying tbat the one who eame
nearest tbe goal should be award
ed tbe race. Johnson was taken
from the water at 4:55, after swimming
three hours and sereuteeo minutes.
Coyle gave us at 4:19. The terrible
strain upon the system was perceptible
in Jobnson, whose eyes wtre bloodshot
and whose cheeks were sunken. He
expressed himself as feeling well, and
offered to swim back to the stsrting
point immediately on a waer of $2,000,
but found no takers. Tbe distance
swam by Johnson was about nine miles,
and he could easily have gone the
whole distance, sixteen miles.
Tbe Pottstown Ledger says since tbe
death of Joseph Potts, Jr., Lis friends

A vacant lot of made land in New
York is used as a storage groucd, upon
which are discharged cargoes ef soda
ash, imported from Europe, packed in
boxes and barrels. Tbe recent heavy
rains soaked through many of tbe bar
rels, and a large pool ef water, about
nine inches deep, highly . impregnated
with the soda ash and forming a strong
lye, covered tbe center of .the lot. On
the day after tbe rain a driver with a
Uam of horses drove into this lot, and
after obtaining bis load turned to go.
the Dearest way to the road lay directly
through tbe before-mentioned pool of
lye, aud tbe driver, ignorant of its
character, allowed his horses to wade
into it. Either the animals stumbled
as tbeir feet touched the liquid, or tbe
burning nature of tbe latter caused
them to become excited, and tbey both
fell in tbe middle of tbe pool. A few
moments of struggling and splashing
and they regained their feet, but ap
peared to be wild with pain, jumping,
rearing and snorting as if in great
agony. Tbe dtiver, much astonished
it tbeir antics, jumped from his scat to
investigate, and in so doing alighted in
the lye, som of which spurted on Lis
face and bands. In a few moments tbe
skin commenced to burn, and to obtaid
relief be was compelled to leave the
suffering brutes, whose rage became
more intense as tbeir agony increased.
Tbe driver's injuries were dressed, but
nothing could be done for tbe horses,
as their burns extended all over their
legs and the under portions of their
bodies. The President of tbe Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals was promptly notified of tbe
strange accident, and sent his deputies
to tbe scene, wbo killed tbe animals to
put them out of sgony.
