A later an lion re corded the fact tha" one who f could do no better J->ild swing t on to the coattails of goUlen op- I portunity. A twentieth century v up-to-date observation would 8 probably note that certain ambidextrous individuals are entirely c capable of executing both oi these 8 gymnastic performances at one f and the same time. 6 An up-to-date. licensed poli- 1 tician i9 a genuinely smooth arti- ' cle ?there is no such thing asU rubbing such a one the wrong 1' way.

Pain lays not 8 * u - nr iuucii upun a corpse, ana tins ' anaesthetic is as skilfully admin- * istered as it is skilfully parried, fc The physicians and surgeons o of the State campaigners during F the past week have been giving f their prescriptions and taking t their medicine like little men. d The developments referred to in o this last "on the road" communi- e cation have steadily continued^' through the week just ended, v with a very large capital letter [ at the beginning of this very im- s ^ portant word. Your correspond- t ent knows no more concerning f these developing developments s ^ than a bird does about its last t year's nest.

Steadily on through a beautiul fruit country, full of voters, he party pushed, with longing ooks at a certain plum tree, rhich was more than greatly haken at hospitable Lexington. The regular engagements at ourt house towns were varied by olicited encores at night perormances. From what can be een and heard these had, decided y, better be dispensed with, 'hey afford no instruction nor nlightentnent, but tend to itiluence those whose political >rejudices have only oue bent and nclinatien. The week's journey vas made in a goodly land, fair o look upon. As has been tated, the candidates were on die Ridge?a peach country, likevise (lowing with milk and loney. Tempting Iruit was seen n evory side?the bloom of the lA9(l)l I ho tlnl rvf flio V..W vtuv VI VUV UOlll j LlIU | rosty sheen of the grape, were! empliugly retlected from huu[reds of acres of hundreds of| rchards. 'l'bo candidates, how-! ver were on their journey home. Oh won't you come and go! nth mo, I am bound for the >roinised land," was the song ung to voters everywhere. No ime for peaches, pears nor, ;rapos. The fathers had eaten our grapes and the children's eeth were on edge. And so past vaving orchards, on the little| irmy, like devouring locusts, tressed towards one little tree?| ho aforesaid plum tree ? ^Like aj nirage on the desert this tree?! I hady, restful, beautiful?even is the shadow of a groat rock in i weary land, lured the eager oilers onward. At a distance, trailffe to sav. this ma?riei?l Ima urned beautiful. When, by a trange and momentary hallucilation the pilgrims imagined they vere approaching its protecting hade, lo ! only a bare and thorny ree was seen, the luscious Iruit howing with more golden gleam han ever. If one tired climber lad uneasy rest for a few moments in lowest branches he was iromptly shaken and with "the lull, sickening thud" so well mown to those in mortal agony. ( No one has touched a plum. The speeches have maintained the average lead as previously reported. Gubernatorial candidates as a rule, are always dignified aud thoughtful. Only glances are directed at the plum tree except when certain temporary breezes extended towards topmost branches. Candidates, for office of lieutenant governor have occasionally made the leaves flutter and almost shake the fruit?but this plum is hanging on. The groat seal of State is still handled with becoming grace and dignity aud no Hank movements have been executed by the rillemeu among the candidates for office of adjutant general. So also with candidates for office of comptroller geueral, though the | plum tree lias had some hard, hot spasmodic shakes. At some distance from the tree but with vigor and determination the next attorney general 01 South Carolina has shown hm ability to handle warm, knotty and thorny questions. The educational plum, so to speak, has changed its appearance and location during the past week, because of some fruit culture, skilfully applied. The rainbow hued, patent expansion railroad plum seems almost to have speech, so alluringly does its juicy appearance steam up its worshippers. "CJansler of Tirzah" makes speeches that one always listens to, so does ulionest Engineer Sepsou." The plums, every one of them, are still in sight of all. "Politics is er hones' trade, 11 it makes man love his brother; A n' ut ht?? ????- *' ia?? tt ijcu uo ^iia xii9 iurtune IU&Q6, lie don't torgit hiiu, uotlier." i'oetic license here destroys the cold tacts that stand out so conllictingly in this beautiful poem, aud for many, the journey up Salt river continues.
