January 26, 1884. Sol. Hirscii, Chairman. Southern Anicullle. If the democrats intend to elect the rixt President of the United States, they may as well make up their minds that they have cot to fight to do it. "Louisville Courier Journal." You are right, honey; and it will be onn of those 'fights' in which 'one mutherner' will not be 'able to whip five Yankees' either. And don't you forg' t it, Jjoney." "Knoxville Chron Ida." The New York -'Sun" has grown melancholy over the democratic blun der, and says: "Poor, stricken, hap less democracy, divided in idea", most impotent in conduct, what fatalities beset it, what follies are committed in thy name." The Cleveland "Herald" xvnnts to know why Mr. Samuel S. Cox is so quiet these days. The Herald is a quepr creature if it expects any vast amount of vociferous enthusiasm from n man who has just been run over by a gravel train. Eight women on the grand jury in Whatcom last week. Result, all the proprietors'ef saloons, gambling house and dUreputablo places in town indict ed. Six women sat on the petit juri and helped to convict several the de fendants. "Seattle Star." It may be true, as Mr. Dana assert?, that Joe McDonald cannot carry eith er New York, Conncticut, or New Jer py, but he is Mr. Watterson's candi date and he must be nominated, utter ly rpgardless of all consequences. Tbe Kentucky policy of to day is the old time motto of tbe adventuresome for-tuue-Reeker: "Pike's peak or bust." The Washington Capital says that ll-niy Villard is going to devote him elf to the EdiBon electric light ir.ter--t. Hiat enterprise is assuming huge, proportions, especially in Europe, where Mr. Villard proposes to sppnd the coming year, ne is already con cerned in tbe Edison Company, and will very likely go to the head of it in time. The New Albany "Ledger," 'one of the oldost and ablest Democratic news papers of Indiana, says of Mr. Payne: It is unfortunate for the Democracy that he was champnned by the Stand ard Oil monopoly, the. most gigantic corporal ion in the United States. It is a'bo unfortunate that he was chosen over George IL Fend'etou, who stood s the Democratic reprecentative of Civil Service Reform and of honor and decency in politics. Tt is a blunder that may and likely will lose the J Jem ocrata tho vote of Ohio and possibly other States in November.' Says the Chicago "Times": An ir. telligent young Englishman, of pood family, a baronet's son, who has been investing largely in lands in Texas, was asked how it was that so many of his countrymen were buying land in this countrv, just at this time. "I will tell you," he said. "There is a very general feeling that there will be a great change in England soon, equal to that made in the South by your civil war. Although they would laugh at tha idea, if you suggested jt, nine men out of ten in England believe tha-. Alber Edward, Prince of Wales, will be the last king England will ever Jinwe. A reyclution is silently but mrely preparing, that will uproot all the old ferdal systems." It would be an interesting and not altogether unprofitable study for some ono wiih nothing better to do to woik up statistics concerning the acquire-tnt-nt of land in this country by foreigners. We do not mean in farms, but in principalities. A large amount of English capital has of late years been drawn to investment in vast tracts of western, southern and rouih western land for specula'.h o and agricultural purposes. Agents there are who make a business of effecting such purchase. Wo have heard re cenlly of a tract in Florida whose own er have put up some 200 miles of barbed wire fence to keep their cattle -within bounds. Thin is very well, and way stand as a sure indication of the way in whch the future of the countrv is regarded by English capitalists, but it must, if it continues, rapidly en croaeh on the lands which are open to lioniestcsuVrs. A thousand small farms are much bptter for the oaiion ha.) "n large ono. the di:.ii(ci:aiic koostlu. The Democratic rooster dead; he died in the t.piii)glimr of his useless ness haTiog served the p-irty fiiithtulh for the last 20 years, waiting for a chance to crow. He btarted out in this world of un certainty in 1864 by trying the mili tary dodje but the magnificent stand ing armv of the United Statps so in timidated the jouthful fowl that he bad hardly regained his equanimity in tinin to see the hopes of his pirty pied by a changs of tactics in the (amenta ble sacrifice of the sage of Chapaqua. Subsequently he appealed at Gramercv Park and attempted to save the party b) gobbling up New York but this miserable folly also proved disastrous to the bird although it took an 8 by 7 commission to stop his ludicrous crow ing and convince him that he wa beaten. Again he started out think ing that epauletts and the great state of New York would surely prove tri umphant but ho was relegated to pri vate life snd h is been busy the lasi four years trying to intimidate amb' tious hens that have developed a ten dency to want to crow in his adopted state. It is believed that he seriously im paired his health trying "to swallow the Court house question and although it was served with sweet and sbur auce it proved too much for his di gestion, yet the immediate cause of the death of this illustrous pirate was his coming in contact with the bharp point of a pitchfork in the hands of an irate livery man while he was endeavoring to transfer tho contents of an oat bin nto his capariQus craw. Subspquently some degenerate sons of America, so it is said, attempted to defy all of the provisions of the Burlingame treatv by offering his carcass for sale in Chinatownbuthranjestyofthelaw was sustained and the provisions of our in ternational treaty upheld by coroprate aid, and a timely intimation given to the joungnters that they would be spared this time in consideration of i heir highly respectable parents Sclab! Mono. .olil ii ngi-t. Robt. A. Millt-r publishes the fol lowing in the last number of tho "Hes perian:" While everyone is going wild over the "prospects" at Cour d'Aleii", let mo givo vou a few interes ing bits of history that may serve to modify some what tho present excitement. In Jackson ille, in Southern Oregon, af (era liar I rafn it is no unusual thing to bo able to pick up gild in the street, and it is a fact known to every resi dent, that the crave! bed upon which the town is situated is unusua'ly rich As an example, one party, a fow win ters sincp. by tunneling under his kousc "cleaned up" the neat sum of four thousand do'lars. It is otten said half in earnest half in jest, that some of the old brick lm dings made from the clay taken from Rich Gulch, have more gold f'ised into the bricks than was ever inside the buildings. It is a fact, also that there are numerous 'diggins"in Southern Oregon, that are immensely neb, but the scarcity of water, the lack of sufficient "dump" and miny minor caus ma e it im possible to work the claims to advan tage. The simple fact of the matter i, that it would take more money to develop the claims than they are worth. A s regards large specimens, it was no unusual thing to get 500 to $800 nuggets from Jackson creek in an early day, and it is also a remarkable fact, that those who found these nug gets are still hunting for more. They are not rich those miners, but by long experience they are able by hard scratching to make a living. No read er, I don't get the mining fever very easy, because I've lived in the mines and know that "all that glitters is not gold." Senator Lamar has recently written a letter to the Commonwealth Club of Philadelphia, in which he dufines "re form," and not "tariff," as a paramount issue, and it is an open secret that these southern senators have latelv discoun tenanced further agitation of the tariff. "Between the two," said a sothern rep. resentative the other day, one should prefer tho 'bloody shirt' to tho tariff as an issue for the next campaign-" This expresses in a few words a growin" preference among democratic states men. They are .familiar with the "bloody shirt," but know nothingabout the tariff, even in their onn states.

The distress ing feeling of weariness, of exhaustion without effort, which makes life a harden to so many people, is due to the fact that the blood is poor, and the vitality consequently feeble.
