Hewitt expresses the u most confidence in Cleveland's electioi - }. He says Cleveland is really a 'wonde fol man, fally equipped for the Pres dency. A man cf destiny.' Capt. F. W. Dawson is out in a car denying his candidacy either preset or prospective for the ?. S. Senat? He intimates that his ambition lies i his present work and that he has n idea of leaving the newspaper work. Mason has, or, in all probability Boon will revolutionize cotton pickin and cotton ginning ; an Jbug.ish iu Tentor claims a patent that will reva lationize cotton spinning ; so the pos sibilities of cheap clothing are ver bright. The Republicans have virtuou spasms occasionally, which afSict thou somewhat in the nature of an epileptii fit. At one of these morn fal occasion lately, they sat down on Mr. Keifer, tin *x Speaker and remanded him to privat? life, which he will doubtless adori more than he did thc Speaker's chair We 6ee in the last Temperana Worker thal the Editor is not throng!: talking about the State Superintendent of Education. Col. Coward's fr tend? had better have said nothing at all, that what they have said, as the ease has certainly not been bene??ted, and .the Worker has made a very good case for itself. Mr. Gladstone has at last made a motion to raise funds for the rescue ol Gen. Gordon. He will possibly suc? ceed from ?he fact that be bas been - eminently sucessful in his undertakings. If Gen. Gordon ever gets out of his present trap alive, he will net march so airily into another one. The lower classes in Marseille?, who by the way arc the principal pufferers from Cholera, are much incensed with the physicians-a report having beeu circulated that they (thc physicians) were trying to help thc cholera along in Order to get rid of thc surplus popula? tion-and the dirp.eaky of properly managing the terrible disease is much increased thereby. The Greely relief expedition, which, as our readers know, met with success in their search for Greely and his men, reached Portsmouth N. ET., the 1st August with thc rescued explorers on board. Their reception was most en? thusiastic, and nothing was left undone to show the deep interest felt both by the Government and the people in those gallant men who waged so hard a fight against arctic rigors. The Bartholdi Statue is now being "boxed for shipment from France and it is expected that thc entire Statue trill be in New York by thc 1st November. .At that time, thc pedestal will be com? plete if thc money holds out, or can be . collected. ?160,000 more than what ison hand will be needed, bot G en. Stone. the Architect, is very enthusiastic and believes he will have it in place by Christmas. There is one more National Conven? tion to meet for thc nomination of a1 candidate for President-the Labor , Convention. It will meet in Chicago j September 1st. and its labors in formo- i latieg a platform, and nominating a candidate will bc sufficiently great to justify the propriety of thc party name. 1 We believe that Convention will bc the eighth which has mot and nominated Presidential candidates. Messrs. Cleveland and Hendricks had their first meeting some days ag". It is a remarkable occurrence that thc two candidates for thc omeo of Pres:- '?? dent and Vice Preside ut should have i never seen each other. That fact shows more completely than any other event, the rapid rise of Governor Cleve? land in thc political world. Their I . meeting was very cordial and after sev? eral hours consultation, they parted mutually pleased. We should have written about thc Sommer meeting of the Agricultural Association which held forth at Green? ville last week, bat local polities, agriculture and oilier home matters kept os unusually busy. Tho meeting was, however, a big success, and Green? ville crowed vigorously over the fine exhibit. The Governor '.T IS there and made one of his nice little speeches, which always puts thc audience in a fine humor. Thc display of fruits and veg? etables was fine both in thc somber and quality of varieties. .The Supreme Court of Ancona, Italy, ! has given a judgment by which thc j Pope has recovered half a million of francs which had been seized in ?8G1 : hy the Bureau of Crown Lands and ; the Department of Public Worship/ Such an announcement as tb:; above, ?

We publish elsewhere a communica- j tion from a correspondent, who gives j his experience on road working and wc J snppose many wiil recognize it as a true picture of the average plan cf keep- j ing our highways in order; but as can j be seen, the plan is inefneient end ex- j pensive. Good roads arc not only a conven? ience but a necessity. Whatever ad- j vantages any place may have in the j way of fertile land3 and fine timber, j thc need of good roads is absolute, be- j fore those advantages can bc properly j enjoyed ; All classes, but more cspe- j cially farmers aad merchants arc inter- ! c^tt'd. and wc never can become j a thrifty people no matter how ? fine our crops are as long as our ? makeshifts for roads are tolerated. It ! i is not. necessary to have any new logis- i iation to improve them. Any com- j munity desiring it, can have them j ' kent in thc best cf order by making suitable use of the present legal appii- ; . onces. Let there be a proper sentiment j 1 tn tiie community in reference to this ?: thing, let tho leading men determine j 1 li to give the roads thc necessary amount ? " of work, seo the sub-commissioner and . s have a man that is thoroughly in ' < earnest appointed oversceer, and one ? 1 who will enforce thc law in requiring i J each man to do his work, see that no 1 .' dead-heads are loafing around, and a < wonderful change will come over our j * dilapidated highways. j j Criticising the Legislature, and at- j tacking the Board of Commissioners for ( oar non-performance of duty may Le ne- ! \ cessary sometimes; bat the most certain : ' means of having good roads will be for iK the people who live on them to go to \ j work and make them good. Kvcry ; ( farmer who does not use earnest effort ; to have an easy means of communion- I tion with the outside world is standing j .J in his own light. He is thereby cheap- j suing his land and his cotton, he is i t adding to the cost of every thing he ! I buys. Ile ennnat-make a trip to town j I without the added cost of broken down '?c . ? horses or strained and injured vehicle?, j : c It is true that all these things come j ander the jurisdiction of the County i r Commissioners, but should they fail in ;t heir duty, we can sec no reason whv ' v j '! our people should fail also.

The President, his Cabinet, the Su? premo C??urt, Congress, every body is out of town. At least this is the gloomy view (ne shopkeeper takes. But hotels, res! au runts, and boardinghouses, to say nothing of hoer gardens, arc more cheerful. Yesterday there were 3000 sundav school excursionists from York, Pa. They arrived at 9 A. M., and left at 7 P. M., and they will net soon forget what they saw in one day at thc capital of their country. Young men and maidens of the party poured into the disreputable restaurants of the city with the ignorar.ee of innocence. They were hungry. 'To the pure ail thiogs arc pure,' aud they are none the worse for having eaten a sandwich in a place where no respectable resident would be seen. To a casual observer there seems to be a great deal of apathy in political matters. The mechanical appurtenan or gearing of a political canvass arc not wanting. The Republicans have es? tablished head-quarters aDd furnished room? wit.li pictures of Blaine, and Logan, mottoes, and cheap paper plumes. Circulars have been sent to all clerks io Government employ asking them in an iudircct way to contribute to thc support of the party that has fur? nished them with food, clothes, beer, and tobacco. But ocntribution? arc coming in very slowly ? hear. Thc reasons are evident. The President is not zealous in his support of Blaine, and his indiff?rence is felt throughout the rank and file of the civil scrviee. The Government clerk refusing to con? tribute wiil not immediately lose his official head. And, while he has a wholesome fear of the vengeance of Blaine, should he become president, he doubtless considers this coutingcucy too remote to influence Iiis action. Probably the most liberal offer yet made in the way of a campaign contri? bution comes from a department clerk, j who is a good stump speaker, at:d has been active in past campaigns. This gentleman desires lo state to the Clapp ! committee that he will make ten j speeches for $2000 cash, aud will hand j 1000 to 'Kaum Treasurer.' The effort of Mr Blaine to pose as j tho friend of the Irish, and the work- j ingman is looked upon here, where he j is well known, as transcendant derna- ' gogueism. Ile is nothing if not au ; aristocrat, the friend of monopoly, the j ally of crooked papata! i's ts; and stock | jobbers. The Republican party has ! fallen into thc hands of rich speculators j of whom Blaine is tho natural and ' chosen leafier. If the attachment of the Trish to thc Democratic [?arty could bc overcome by j such frantic efforts as the Blaine Be- ! publicans are making now. toe result j would have been achieved long ago. ; What is Blaine io the Irish, or the ] Irish to Blaine that he should weep for ! them. The Republican pa ty has always been in its tone, temper, aral affiliating, thc party of protestantism, his separated from the Irish catholic party by a elitism . which can never be bridged until the one is converted to the religion of the other. Mr. Blaine is attempting to cover the chasm by affecting hostility to the English, but he is at thc same ' time trying to impress t lie manu fae- ! turing and commercial classes that his 1 policy, if elected will be one of peace. I Ile would like to get the Irish vote by ; mildly bullying England but just little j enough not to offend those sober mind- i ed and intelligent republicans who have j not yet gene over to the Independents, j Neither Democrats nor Republicans I know how to estimate thc candidacy of j Gen. B. F. Butler, which it is expect- ; ed, will soon bc formally announced hy : his letter accenting thc O reen back nomination. Thc general opinion is j that it will have no appreciable effect J either way. The world has had about : enough of this chronic d?magogue and i political tumbler. Ile once had brains, j he still has money and there is nothing j to prevent him acting tho clown in his own side show if it wiil help bira while j away his; dot. C. A. S. j It is .-aid that iu Winnebago, Lake j Winconsin. they fish with lines sis j miles long, and use 'JO,000 hooks on a | line. One catch generally realizes '2.- j COO fish. The 20.000 hooks arc baited | with pieces of meat and lowered to tho : Bottom, it takes twenty boats with ; two men in each to look after thia big i catch. Most of the fish taken from this lake are sturgeons, weighing ou an j average seventy pouuds. Mrs. Garfield telegraphed to Blaine j that her household (which consists of: one da ugh * er, two babies andu mother in-law) was for him. That, of course. ! will settle Ohio and makes it necessary j for Democrats to turn their attention to | Indiana. POETRY.

Ail looked happy and the farmers spoke of fine crops and splendid prospects. The en? tries were full and specimens fine, especially in thc vegetable department. The fruits consisted of splendid melons, beautiful grapes numerous in varie**" and fine of their kinds; peaches UL apples, pears figs and other small fruits. The flower stands were full and so were the tables allotted to this department, and the annuals, roses and outdoor plants vied with the product of the green-bouse. Several fine specimens attracted much attention from their variety and excellence. Vegetables were numerous and several new varie? ties wore shown. Wc noticed particu? larly an ear of hard corn, (it. for mill? ing, of tins year's crop. On inquiry, wc find it was grown by air. J. 31. Waddill, of Society Hill, on thc river.
