AND NOW THEY say that Thayer, Democrat, has been elected gov ernor of Oregon by a majority of forty votes. That makes a clean ,sweep, but a deuced close shave. Mus. TILTON having recently re newed charges against Beecher, Plymouth Church has summarily quashed the whole matter by ex pelling her from the congregation. GENERAL SHERMAN is making an ass of himself in prophesying that a new rebellion is at hand and that the army will put it down. He can't help swearing when he sees how close Potter's Committee are after his brother John. Tim BANNUCKS were an Indian tribe extremely friendly to the United States. The Great Father sent an agent among then who was also a minister of the gospel. This wolf in sheep's clothing man aged in a short time to steal all the supplies sent out to feed the Indians. The latter, being half starved, loft their reservation in quest of hun ting-gvounds. Then the army was made use of to bring the:n back to the reservation and to starvation. The Bannocks re, sisted. And now we are to have a frontier war of greater magnitude than has existed since the campaign of Sitting Bull. This is a noble and benign government ! NINETY-SIX has had a grand cele. bration, in honor of the Old Star Fort, one of the best preserved relics of the Revolution. The British made a stand at this place, and General Greene endeavored to dislodge them. But reinforcements coming up at the nick of time, and the Americans being repulsed in an assault, Green raised the siege. One of the traditions is that Emily Geiger, the daughter of a Fairfield farmer, carried important despatch. es for General Green to the re mainder of the army. ~ On the occasion of the celebration Gov ernor Hampton and other leading men, besides four thousand lesser lights, were in attendance. It was a great day for Ninety--Six and Old Cambridge. A PEssIMIsTr of the press is uin happy over the unfortunate coinci dences by which American states men's foibles are brought to the gaze of foreigners. The Vienna Excposition was characterized by a scandal affecting thme honesty of the Commissioners of the United States, aent to that place. When all the world was at the Philadelphia .Cen tennial, Belknap's peculiar views of the duty of a cabinet officer were discovered. And now, just as Americans are running over to the Paris fair, Minister Noyes has been recalled from France to tell what he knows about stealing a presi dency. This is a fortuitous comn bination of unpropitious circumn stances, to be sure. No wonder the effete monarchies look down on THME News and Courier, in re pelling charges, preferred against Charleston in the matter of paying taxes in Bank bills, alleges that the State is a "quibbling debtor" en titled to little respect at the hands of creditors. This in the face of the fact that a commission is sitting for the purpose of deciding wvhether the State shall not pay several millions of bonds that were tainted with fraud in the very inception and from which no benefit whatever accrued. There is very little of the quibbling debtor in all this. The Legislature in its adjustment of the public debt went a long way for the sole pvrposo of maintaining the credit of the State, although every one but interested bonds. holders felt that there were no equities in the case. Is it true that the Consolidation bondholders are the ones who pay in State bills? ~If we owned a Consolidation bond of the po.st bdAAum Isnes. sxn t hen tendered bills of the Bank of the State for taxes, we should order a barrel of chloride of lime for disinfecting purposes, and then ask for a whitewashing report from a Plymouth Church Returning Board. Nothing short of that would satisfy our conscience. Exit Congress. The Forty-fifth Congress has ad, journed after a session of eight months. It is commended more for what it did not do than for what it did. The silver bill is almost the only important measui e, out of over four thousand bills in troduced, that passed. The new tariff bill was defeated. The army is fixed at twenty-five thousand men, but it cannot be used as a posse comitatucs. Under the lead of Speaker Randall most of the jobs were killed, and the lobbyists are reported as being bankrupt. The House threw a sop to the colored Corberus by refusing to kick out Rainey, Smalls and Cain, who were fraudulently elected to that body. Out of the two hundred and ninety-three Congressmen and seventy-six Senators, a number will retire this fall to the shades of private life. Among the latter are Patterson, Spencer, Conover and Dorsey, the last of the carpet baggers, besides Stanley Matthews, Sargent and Hipple Mitchell, all Radicals, who will be succeeded by Democrats. The next Senate will contain from six to fourteon Demo cratic majority. The House at present has a Democratic majority of twenty, and it is extremely im probable that this majority will be reduced. The securing of a Demo cratic House next time is of the utnrost importance, for on it may depend the Presidency in 1880. 1 MoWDE.t JVrAZAflE E. .lessrs. Editors :-The original signification of the name Nazareth, as derived from the Hebrew word netser, is sprout or shoot, and hence we can with propriety speak of either the ancient or the modern Nazarenes as sprouts. Mr. J. H. MeL. parades himself before the public as the apostle of a new and strange doctrine, likening himself, with becoming modesty, to the de spised Nazarenes of old, and, calling high Heaven to witness, foretells the revolutionizing of "the law-making system of this country." This modern Nazarene, or sprout, refers us to the fact that "this is not the first time the e'isdomi of the world has been astounded at the sudden introduction of something unlooked for, from a benighted region, &o., &c. Very true, but he might have added also, to repeat history, that this is not the first time the good peop)le of the Dark Corner have attemp)ted to mould public senti ment against the "Divine Lawyers" as legislators. Local chroniclers tell us that full forty vear's ago some time, we presume, before Mr. J. Hendrix McLane had spr-outed a strong anti-lawvyer feeling pre vailed in the umnbrageous recesses of the Dark Corner. No doubt its statesmen of that day and genera tion made predictions after the manner of Mr. J, Hendrix MrcLane, but "nary" a revolution have we had yet, although we did become in volved in a little "unpleasantness" a few years ago, in which even the lawyers Look part, as well as the disciples of our ancient progenitor. Perhaps, Messrs. Editors, an all-wise Providence has postpened the re lution until such time as suits the convenience of Mr. J. Hendrix McLane, so as to add new lustre and renown to his name, other than that of "secretary pro tem." If the aforesaid revolution, in addition to "changing the law-making system of this country," will also eventuate in converting cross-road politicians into states'nen, then will it have achieved startling results, and the wisdom of the world will indeed be astounded. For the sake of the r.epntation of Mr. J. Hendrix McLane as a prophet, we might yearn for his revolution, and -unite with .him:in. crying for its early coming, but we much fear that.his hopes wiW be () blasted, and that the fate of his nos scheme will only teach him that revolutions are of slow progress and that all great changes are controlled by old father Time, and are not subject to the whims and caprices of even the valiant men of tho Dark Corner.. He will ere long learn, no doubt to his intense disgust, that his predicted revolution is a wild dream, a beautiful vision of his youth, that will never be realized. "In the sweet bye-and-bye" he will pass into unknown worlds, with the conviction that his life l:as been spent in vain, and that mankin.d has lost a benefactor. In his last fate ful moments may he be spared even the thought of a poor, miserable devil of a lawyer representing his native hills and valleys in the General Assembly, and as ho em barks upon the river Styx may the monotony of his voyage be rolieved by a vivid recollection of the "Foas tervillo Resolutions." FAIR PLAY. YEi's O THE DAY. A Jackson, Tennessee, specia says that a fire on Thursday de stroyed a fine block in that city. All is quiet at the Coal Creek Mines in Indiana. Part of the infantry sent there on Thursday returned that afternoon. At a recent meeting of two thous and spinners in Blackburne. Eng land, only one voted in favor of resumption at a full reduction of wages. The race for the gold cup took place at Ascot meeting on Thursday, and was won by Verucit, the winner of the gold vase on the previous Tuesday. At the Toronto Assizes Court, on Friday, T. V. Roy, a converted Brahmin priest, convicted of biga my, was sentenced to three months' imprifoament. All the weavers in the Adams' mosquito netting factory of Patter sons, N. J., have struck, owing to ten per cent. reduction. The num. ber on a strike is two hundred and fifty, and two thous:ads hands are thrown out of employment. At Newport, B. I., on Thursday, Geo. Taffany, twelve years old, with his tutor, Win. Smith, wore fishing on the the rocks at Forty Steps. Taffany slipped off the rock and the tutor sprang in to save him. Both were drowned. Pearson and Sadler, who, it is supposed, outraged Mrs. Groves, near Mitchellville, Tenn., on May 16th, were taken from jail on Friday, carried five miles from town and hanged. Both protested their innocence. The single skull race between Evan Morris, of Pittsburg, Pai., and Edward Hanlon, of Toronto, for $3,000 and the championship of America, took place on the Hulton Course, at Pittsburg, on Thursday afternoon. It was won by Hanlon, by nearly four lengths. Returns from San Francisco indi cate that in an election for delegates to a Constitutional Convention, the "Hornle3ites" (Communists) elected nearly all their candidates. The re turns from the interior of the State show that non--partisans elected most of their men. The committee .on the platform of the Greenback State Convention, in session at Sedalia, Missonri, demand a repeal of the specie re sunmption act, and the issue of absolute money in greenbacks equal to gold and silver. Resolutions also pronounce against the introduction of Chinese labor, and deprecate all violence of relief labor. A Silver City despatch reports that Major Egbert's five companies of the Twelfth Infantry arrived there, having made a forced march across the country, averaging thirty miles a day. They remained two hours and departed for Camp Lyon, about twenty miles distant. An outbreak at Duck Valley reservation is anticipated. At Paradise Valley and Quinn's river trouble is also expected. A Western ed itor who was called a "Blue Ribbon Idiot" by a local contemporary, got a little more than even by remarking, in the next issue of his paper, that "The wife of our contemporary down the street was5 pleasantly surprised on Saturday night. .Her husband re, turned home an hour before mid night and was not more than two thirds .arunk.

Joi Johnston was upon the floor of th< United States Senato by invitatior of a Senator, the scene in thal grave body was almost like a levee Senators from all parts of ti United States came up to be in troduced to him and to shako hi hand. Not once in a generation is such a scene witnessed. Businest was almost suspended. The late Presidential contesi engendered much "bad blood,' which coolness and judgment will correct. The "bad blood" induced by a persistent violation of Nature's great but simple laws requires noi only coolness and judgment, but obedience to hygienic measures and the proper use of Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture to insure its purification. A young housekeeper wants to know how to tell the age of'a spring chicken. Strike the bird with at sledge hammnner. If tho hammer ro bounds with suflicient - force to kneek your brains out, the chickon is more than a year old. This is a more reliable way than to count the wrinkles in the fowl's teeth. "All flesh is grass," remarked a dry preacher in the midst of weari some discourse. "Then I guess you're hay," half audibly observed at sleepy fellow in one of the wall pews. A good boy may not become a handsomo mn, but a nice bonnet surely becotmes a pretty woman. lackensuck Republican. SPRING HAS OM, -AND tTew Style Goods -HAVE-.

Dr. Undcrhill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in z87r. S.ome of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only nowv that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of thte estate and the sale of the wines one hand. Among these Is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port,' but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other Europecan wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine fanciers have a special interest In it as the oldest native ine now accessible in any con siderable quiantity. Trhe whole stock is in the had fte well-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Tribung, N.o. 19, z6;7. The above speaks for Itself, but we would add that this Is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, /iguored nor walmrd; that It has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes It Is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on applicatIon.
