their
wishes and by to-morrow it will be known
to whom the Important trusts imposed
by this election will be confided. It has
been a campaign in which but a very
small share of the respectability of our
citizens have taken any part, and in which
the most of the intelligence that has been
engaged has ben to appeal to tbe mean
est aud worst pankLs of an ignorant and
irrenixmsible claaa. Fur weeks the nights
have been uiado hidoous by the vulgarity,
profanity, and obscenity of a half-drunken
mob'of bc:ugs, whose low appetites have
been prtd rcil to by political aspirants
after poiuic jKitUn.
It ia a fad com
mentary upon the dignity ut oihee
when all iu responsibilities
reat unon those who have desceuded into
the very ccsiool8 of human language and
endeavored to arouse the worst passions
of human nature to acquire a brief official
position. Whoever may be the victor
in the principal race, it will be a dearly
bought victory a victory in which much
of decency, dignity and self-respect has
been fearfully sacrificed; and when be be
comes installed in office, after the dirty
smoke of the battle shall have been swept
away, wo hope that some tinge of shame
at the means employed to secure his tri
umph may be an evidence that he is not
wholly lost to the respect aud confidence
of his fellow-men. The history of jLhis
campaign must stand, however, as a mon
ument erected to Ihegrcsiest villification,
crimination and recrimination th it ever
disgraced a political campaign in New
Hanover county.

ists. The Garrcll's aud the Manning's were
out in their full force last night, but their
ranks were not very full at that. Man
ning's party held forth in Brooklyn while
Garrell's faction orated in front 'of the
Market House. Tbe principal topic was
vituperation and abuso of the leaders of
each faction.Heaton held up to the 'crowd
fromthe stand in front of the Market
House a little bull-terner which ne
claimed to be the exact counterpart of
Gen'l S. II. Manniog.and introduced him
as such. r '
How long are the quiet, peaceable, and
respectable citizens of this commmnity to
ba annoyed with such vile and oftentimes
obscene and profane harangues? ' Is it to
be endured at every election? Are we
never to have a change of policy ? Can
not the officors of tho law see to it hero-
after that decency at least shall be ob
served if the noise of a Radical meeting
has to be endured?

wmca uv, iu coinmou wun tnousanas
beaides, underwent, suggested to him the
ucud of some remedy and he soon hit upon
a simple contrivance which obviated every
feeling of uneasiness. Ho drew a small
circle about four inches in diameter upon
a piece of paper, and converted the circle
into a aort ol clock tace by sketching iu
tho Roman figured in iheir usual sequence.
Then the paper was nailed to a post about
eight feet from the position of the sitter.
When the operation of taking the picture
began he first fixed his eyes on the XII,
and then upon I, an 1 so on, shifting the
gaze leisurely from figure jto figure "all
around the clock." There was no feel
ing ot strain, wcariuut?, or giddiness.;
The picturo takeu was free also of allj ap
pearance of constraint. There was no
staring expression, and the eyes were clear
and well defined. This hint is well worth
the attention of photographers1.
The yield of cabbage for the present
year will be a gigantic one, and 'those

no fears of fchort supplies. !
Now is the time for writing loving
letters to country cousins, telling them
you are not only crazy to see them, but
that you art coming with the entirs fam-

It is difficult' to explain the workings of
the youthful mind. A boy who will lis
ten indifferently to tho sublimest truths,
will bo aroused to the, acutest interest by
the progress of a caterpillar over the col

front of him. ' '
An old lady is collecting all the politi
cal journals she can get to make soap of.
She says they contain 09 per cent. ,of
pure "lie."
Au uugallaut contemporary thus writes :
"Tbe modern woman, when she has a nail
to drive, doesn't wait for her husband to
comevhome. She catches hold of the nail
as she would the hair of a recreant son,
swings the hammer over her head aud
plunges downward. Then she ties up her
ringer as well as she can, puts on her best
bonnet and goes right over to her mother's
for a good cry and her tea."
