VETERANS IN BLUE.
nv GEORGE w. BUNGAY.
Bronzed and battered and covered with scars
Dressed in the true blue uniform,
Bearing aloft the standard of stars
That they borc through the battle storm,
Proudly they march in grand review,
Under the cloudlcss arch of blue.
They have marched through the swamps of
the South,
And forded the treacherous streams;
They have looked down the black cannon’s
month
By the light of its sulphur gleams.
N .w, t to I will vote as tiey fought, to save
The land they made free, “the home of the
brave.”
Toey have charged, in the face of the foe,
Through hot tempest of shot and shell,
When the thick War clouds were hanging
low,
And the red rain in torrents fell.
With bullets, they, “conquered a peace,"
With ballots, they’ll lengthen its lease.
Like a full i'lVi r, the column sweeps by,
Stretching many a rood away,
Beyond the reach of the eager eye,
They are Garfield boys—on election day
Their banners, with patriot fame,
\Vill light us to honor and fume.
With martial steps through the cheering
streets,
Keeping pace to the fife and drum.
They moved forward, withjubilant feet,
To put down the foe that has come,
Not with bars, and butternut coats,
But with stars and democrat votes.
A Question of great Gravity.
WASHINGTON, Aug. I5.—The remarkable
character of the returns from some sections
in the South is treated by prominent officials
of the Government as one of extreme gravity,
and it forms the burden of much conversa- .
tion in all. official circles. The declaration
of a gentleman prominent in the public set-7
vice is a good illustratoin of the drift of feel-
ing in regard to the matter. He said :
“This may well' be considered the most
deadly peril that has threatened our free in '-
stitutions. Thoughtful patriots may wellfcar
that the consummation of so far—reaching a
fraud and conspiracy may bring another civil
war."
The Southern papers thus far received, in
their comments upon the matter, agree in
sustaining results already announced as ac—
curate and such as they of the South had
reason to expect, They coolly declare that
the increase in the South should naturally
be equal to that of the Western and North-
western States. This method of treating
the subject is regarded here as indicating
that a settled plan exists throughout the
South to falsify the returns in favor of that
section.
It is very evident from the late speech of
the President at Columbus that he was not
expecting such returns as his enumerators
have reported from the South, as be there
said:
But after all we cannot fail to observe that
immigration, which so infallibly and instinc—
tively finds out the true condition of all coun-
tries, does not largely go in;the slaveholding
region of the United States. A great deal of
cheap and productive land can there be found
where population is not rapidly increasing.
All for the Ticket.
The young men of the state take special
pride in the republican nominations at ,Hart-
ford because the ticket is made of represen-
tative young men. On the young men of to.
day the burdens of government fall.
The business men of the state are proud
that the business interests are recognized by
the selection of two practical business men
to head the state ticket, for at last it is begin-
ning‘to be realized that to successfully man-
age the affairs of government they must be
conducted on sound business principles.
The workingmen of the state will work
for the ticket, because Bigelow and Bulke—
ley are both workingmen who, in boyhood,
worked every day for a laborer’s' wages and
by their strength of character and ability
worked their way up to the head of con—
cerns that now employ large numbers of
men, who love and respect their employers,
who, while growing rich have never grown
proud or ignored it Workingman. They are
true types of workingmen.
The soldiers of Connecticut will march
forward for the ticket. The soldier element
is represented by the gallant Colonel Batch-
eller of Winchester, whose war record is as
brilliant as any young man who offered his
life to the Union.
The old wheel horses of the republican
party will vigorously battle for the ticket,
because on it are the “old guard" like
Abijah Catlin of Harwinton, D. P. Nichols
of Danbury, Erastus Brainard of Portland
and others.
A Few Serious Questions.
In view of the many exalted and patriotic
achievement of the Republican party, and
the general wisdom of their administration
the control of the government ought not to
be taken out of their hands and passed over
to the democrats unless there is some power-
ful and controlling reason for making the
change. If there is any such reason, what is
it ?
Are the democrats more intelligent than
the Republicans ?
Are the democrats more moral than the
. Republicans ?
Are the democrats more capable than the
Republicans ?
Are the democrats more patriotic than the
Republicans ?
Are the democrats more devoted to liberty
’ than the Republicans?
Are the democrats more devoted to justice
than the Republicans?
Will the democrats excel the Republicans
in maintaining the national honor?
Will the democrats excel the Republicans
in maintaining the credit of the government"?
Will the democrats excel the Republicans
in maintaining the stability of the currency?
Will the democrats excel the Republicans
~ in enforcing the laws ?
Will the democrats excel the Republicans
in securing and defending the purity of the
ballot box ?
Willihe democrats excel ,the Republicans
in protecting the lives and liberties of all
citizens ?
Do the democrats give the country a high-
er grade of civil service ?
Can the democrats collect the public reve-
nues at less cost?
Can the democrats exceed the Republicans
in their desire to legislate for the people and
the interests of all the people?
Can the democrats do anything to increase
the prosperity of the people which the Re-
publicans have not done ?
These are pertinent questions. They will
be asked by a people familiar with the his—
tory of the nation and of parties. And to
them there is but one answer, “No i” What
' the Republican party is, the people know.
Its record is stamped in golden characters
upon the history of the country. What the
democrat party has been the people also
know, and they know it with regret and
shame. What it will be can only be surmis-
cd from what it has been. It is not judging
that party harshly to say, it is superior to the
Republican party in nothing that is good,
and it can accomplish nothing beneficial
which cannot be done better, and with more
certainty, by the Republicans.
The sudden love of the democratic party
for shoulder-straps,“man on horseback,”&c..
for all of which they so recently expressed
their abhoreuce, reminds us of the song of
Litfle Buttercup :
' “Things are seldom what they seem;
Skim-milk masquerades as cream."

The Drummer Boy.
One cold December morning, about eighty
yea rs ago a party of tourists Were crossing
the Alps—and a pretty large party, too, for
there were several thousands of them togeth-
er. Some were riding, some walking, and
most of them had knapsacks on their shoul ,
ders, like many Alpine tourists nowadays.
But instead of walking-sticks they carried
muskets and bayonets, and dragged along
with them some fifty or sixty cannon.
In fact these tourists were nothing less than
a French army; and a very hard time of it
they seemed to be having. Trying work,cer-
tainly, even for _ the strongest man, to wade
for miles through ,knec—deep snow in this
bitter frost and biting wind, along these nar.
row, slippery mountiiu paths, with preci-
pices hundreds of feet deep all around. The
s ildiers looked thin and heavy.eyed for want
of food and sleep, and the poor horses that
were dragging the heavy guns stumbled at
every step.
But there was one among them who seemed
quite to enjoy the rough marching, and
trumped along through the deep snow and
cold, gray mist. through which the great
mountain peaks overhead loomed like shad—
owy giants, as merrily as if he were going to
a picnic. This was a little drummer boy of
10 years old, whose fresh rosy face looked
very bright and pretty among the grim,
scarred visages of the old soldiers. When
lhe cutting wind whirled a shower of snow
in his face he dashed it away with a cheery
laugh, and awoke all the echos with the lively
rattle of his drum, till it seemed as if the
huge black’Tnclts around Were all singing in
chorus.
“Bravo, Petit Tambour 1” (little drummer)
cried a tall man in a shabby grey cloak, who
was marching at the head of the line, with a
long pole in his hand, and striking it into the
snow every now and then, to see how deep
it was. "Bravo, Pierre, my boyl With such
music as that one could march all the way to
Moscow.”
The boy smiled and raised his hand to his
cap in salute, for this rough looking man was
no other than the general himself, “Fighting
Macdouald,” one of ihe bravest soldiers in
France, of whom his men used to say that
one sight of his face in battle was worth a
whole regiment.
“Long live our general,” shouted at hoarse
voice, and the cheer, flying from mouth to
mouth rolled along the silent mountains like
a pcal of distant thunder.
' But its echo had hardly died away when
the silence was again broke by another sound
of a very different kind—a strange uncanny
sort of whispering far away up the great
white side. Moment by moment it grew
louder and harsher, till at length it swelled
into a deep, hoarse roar.
“On your faces, lads i" roared the general,
“it’s an avalanche l" .
But, before his men had time to obey, the
ruin was upon them. Down thundered the
great mass of snow, sweeping the narrow
ledge path with a waterfall, and crashing
down along with it came heaps of stone and
gravel and loose earth and uprooted bushes,
and great blocks of cold blue ice. For a mo
ment all was dark as night ; and when the
rush had passed, many of the brave fellows
who had been standing on the path were no—
where to be seen. They had been carried
down over the precipice, and either killed or
buried alive in the snow.
But the first thought of their comrades
was not for them. When it was seen what
had hapeued one cry arose from everymouth:
“Where’s our Pierre? Where‘s our little
drummer ?"
Where, indeed? Look which way they
would, nothing was to be seen of their poor
little favorite, and, when they shouted his
name, there was no answer. Then there
broke forth a terrible cry of grief, and many
a hard old soldier, who had looked without
flinching at a line of leveled muskcts, felt his
tears start down his eyes at the thought that
that face would never be seen among them
again.
But all at once, far below them, out of the
shadow of the black unknown gulf that lay
between those tremendous rocks, arose the
faint roll of a drum, beating the charge. The
soldiers started and bent eagerly forward to
listen; then up went a about that shook the
air.
“He's alive, comrades! ourfPierre’s alive,
after all 1”
“And beating his drum still, like a brave
lad 1 He wanted to have the old music to the
last 1”
“But we must have him, lads, or he’ll
freeze to death down there. He must be
saved!”
"He shall be i” broke in a deep voice from
behind, and the general himself was seen
standing on the brink of the precipice,throw.
ing off his cloak.
“No, no, generall” cried the grenadiers
with one voice; you musn’t run such a risk
as that. Let one of us go instead; your
life is worth more than all of ours put to—
gether.”
“My soldiers are my children,” answered
Macdonald quietly, “and no father grudges
his owu life to save his jown child.”
The soldiers knew better than to make any
more objections. They objected in silence,
and the general was swinging in mid—air,
down, down, down'ttill he vanished at last,
into the darkness of the cold, black depth
below.
Then every man drew a long breath, and
all eyes were strained to watch for the first
sign of his appearance, for they knew well
that he would never come back without the
boy, and that the chance was terribly against
him.
Meanwhile Macdonald, having landed
safely at the foot of the precipice, was look——
ing anxiously around in search of Pierre;
but the beating of the drum had, ceased, and
he had nothing to guide him.
“Pierre 1" shouted he, at the top of his
voice, “where are you, my boy ?"
“Here, general 1” answered a weak voice,
so faint that he could hardly distinguish it.
And there, sure enough, was the little fel—
low’s curly head, half buried in a huge
mound of snow, which alone had saved him
from being dashed to pieces against the rocks
as he fell. Macdonald made for him at once; ,
and although he sank waste deep at every
step, reached the spot at last.
“All right now, my brave boy, said the
general, cheerfully. “Put your arms around
mylneck and hold tight; we’ll have you out
of this in aminute."
The child tried to obey, but his stiffened
fingers had lost all their strength ; and even
when Macdonald himself clasped the tiny
arms about his neck their hold gave way di-
rectly.
What was to be done? Afew minutes
more, and the numbing colds of that dismal
place would make the rescuer as powerless as
him whom he came to rescue, ‘But General
Maodouald was not the man to he so easily
beaten. Tearing off his sash and knotting
one end of it to the rope, be bound Pierre
and himself firmly together with-the other,
and then gave the signal to draw up.
And when the two came swinging up into
the daylight once more, and the soldiers saw
their pet still alive and unhurt, cheer upon
cheer rang out, rolling far back along the
line, till the very mountains themselves
seemed to be rejoicing.
“We’ve been under fire and snow togeth-
er,” said Maodonald, chafing the boy's cold
hands tenderly, “and nothing shall part us
two after this, so long as we both live.”
And the general kept his word. Years
later, when the great wars were all over,
there might be seen walking in the garden of
a quiet country house in the south of France
a stooping, white haired old man, who had
once been the famous Marshal Macdonald;
and he leaned for support upon the arm of a
tall, black-moustached, soldier like fellow,
who had once been little Pierre, the drum-
mer. .

The New York Herald gives General Han-

_ SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY. :

Society of Literature, Mr. J. W. Redhousc
combats the generally accepted theory that
the Aryan races of mankind originated in
the Pamir highlands of Central Asia, spread—
ing in a nOrthwesterly direction into Europe
and southwesterly into India. He believes
that the polar regions, which at one time pos-
sessed a tropical temperature, formed the
original home of man.

It appears from the first report of the .
Central Sanitary Bureau of Japan, just is-
sued, that a public laboratory has been es— i
tablished in that country for the analysis of
chemicals and patent medicines. The pro—
prietors of all patent medicines are bound .
to present samples, together with full par— '
ticulars concerning the composition and pro-
posed use of each remedy. During the year
there were no less than 11,904 applicants for
license -to prepare and sell 148,007 patent and
secret medicines. Permission for the pre~
paration and value of 58,638 different kinds
was granted, 8,592 were prohibited, 9,918
were ordered to be discontinued, and 70,934
remained still to he reported on. The en-
forcing of similar restrictions in this Country

Copper is widely diffused over the face of
the earth, and man has for many ages adapt-
ed it to his wants. It was one of the most
important articles of commerce of the
Phoenicians, who dcrived;alarge supply from
the mines of Nubia,—tbat at one time sup
plied the whole of the known world—and
combined with it the tin obtained from the
islands of Great Britain. It was used by
some of the northern nations of Europe in
the fabrication of weapons, at a period and
under circumstances when steel appeared to
be more precious than gold. This has been
illustrated in Denmark by the opening of
many Scandinavian tumuii of very remote
ages, from which have been collected speci—
mens of knives, daggers, swords and imple—
ments of industry. These relics are pre-
served in the museum of Copenhagen. There
are tools of various kinds, formed of flint or
other hard substance, in shape resembling
our axes, ohisels, hammers and knives, the
blades of which are of gold, while an edge of
iron is attached for the purpose of cutting.
Some of these tools are formed principally
of copper, with edges of iron; and in many
of the implements the profuse application of
copper and gold, when contrasted with the
parsimony evident in ,the use of iron, seems
to prove that at that unknown period, and
among the unknown people who raised these
tumnli, gold, as well as copper. was a much
more common product than iron. 0

Govenrzon‘s ISLAND
Wich is in the State uv Noo York,
I hev bin for sch-‘nl days over at Govern-
or’s Island asssistln General Hancock 82 a
Sort uv n doorkeeper, wich, inczmuch 621
am certin uv wet I kin cat and drink, is a
better thing than the prekarious life I lead at
the corners. Also, when the struggle is over
he can’t, of he is elected, help givie me some
pros-shim sociable. to my age and abilities. It
sooia me very we‘l and I shel stay here, pro-
bably, doorin the campzuie- I hev succeeded
in receivin quite an amount uv money, al-
ready, frotnrpairiots wich wantid to be admit-
tid to the presence out uv their turn.
Yisterday wuz a [cold day. We hed dele-
gashuns from almost every State in the
Ynomu, all wantin to , know suthiri about
the geneml’s Views on the various questions
now before the people, and they wuz admit -
tid one by one. The first wuz a delegashun
from Noo York and Boston, wich wuz anx-
shus to get his nohens on the fioaushel ques-
tion.
“Representin,” sed the spokesman, “the
great finanshai institooshens uv the kentry,
we ask for a plain and explisit dcclerashen
cz to your gnanshel pollsy iu the event uv
your elecshun.
I never shall forgii the general‘s answer.
“Ef there is any Ono thing about another,"
sed lie, “Unit I wish to hev understood, it
is my posishcu on this, the most important
question before the people. I want no equiv-
ocushen, and even tho my views slinnd lose
me votes. I shel be ez plain and explisit ez
cood be desired. On the question of finance
I hold that the best pollsy should be adoptid
regardlis uv consekences. Thor will be a.
congriss electid this fall, and that congr‘is
will pass bills and sich bearin on this ques-
tion. From one standpiut I shood say that
we needed more money, and from another -
less. Whatever may be the differences uv
Opinion on this great question, I am thoroly
convlust that the Greenbackers uv Injeauy,
in common with the hard mouy men uv N00
York, are ekally interested in a pure gov—
ernmeut,and that is wat Mr. Tilden, iu com~
mou with myself and John Kelly, propose to
give our common kentry, for which I fought
and wood hev bled. Gentlemen, I trust my
ansr to your question is satisfactory. Ef not
I refer you to;the nashnal Democratic com--
mitty.
The committy retired and a delegashuu uv .
Greenbackers from Injeauy wuz admitted.»
They wantid to know also.
“Gentlemen," said the great leeder, “of I
am distinguished for anything except military
skill, it is for directness with my fellow citi-
zens. I am rcjoised that I hev an opportun-
ity uv auserin the queries wich may be put
to me. In the matter uv currency, whether
we need more or less, whether it should be
redeemable in gold, or not redeemable in
anything, is a question on wich I need not
say there are great differences uv opiuyun.
Ef it is best to have fiat money, we must hev
fiat money—cf, on the other hand, wat is
called sound money should be held to con-
doose tothe greatest good uv the greatest
number that is wat we want. But one thing
yoo must bear in mind ez yoo go to your
homes, wich is that eternal vigilance is the
price uv liberty, and thet the Fabian pollsy
uv General Washington wuz wat brot the "
kentry thro the Revolooshinary war. Uv
that I am entirely certain. But for that we "
would be groaniu’ under the yoke uv British
despotism and the beacon lite uv liberty '
wood not hev‘ bin lit on this continent.
I trust I hev answered yoor question
fairly and clearly, and that yoo know my
posishen. Ef there is anything else yoo
wood like to know, .menshun it, and in the
meantime Mr. Nasby will show yoo some
excellent Bourbon whisky in the adjoiniu’
apartment.”
This committy got rid uv, ther come in:
one from the South, wantin’ to know his
views on reconstruckshun and the status uv
the Southern States, giunerally.
“Wishin’ to state my views on all the ques-
tions aforc the people frankly and fully,I am
glad yoo are here. In regard to the South~
ern question, the importance uv wich I rec-
ognize, I hev to say that it hez been a rool
uv my life to foller the best examples, I'hev
allus held that the victory of Luudy’s Lane
an account of wich I hev jist bin reedin’ was
one uv the most brilliant on record, and that
the settlement uv the questions involved in
thet war wuz ez creditable to Amerikin
statesmanship as the victories in the feeld
wuz to Amerikin arms. I know I shel be
kivered with aboose by the unscrupulous op-
poishen to the Dimocrisy, but I shel never. '
theless anser frankly all questions pro-
pounded. I trust, gentlemen, you are satis-
fled."
This committy withdrew. and another uv
niggers from SoutheKerliny, wich wanted to
get a pledge that the Dimocrisy wood perfect
em in ther rites in the event uv a success,
entered.
The giuerel reseeved em with the same
urbanity that he did the others. ’
“The condishen uv things in the South,"
sed he, “is, I understand, to be deplored,
pervidin they are ez some accounts give em,
and not to be deplored of they are ez others
state em. It is safe to say, gentlemen, that
yoo will be pertected ef the condishen uv
things is such ez make psrteckshun necessa-
ry ? Is the law uv our kommcn kentry,wich
is my pride, sich ez wood jestify the Presi-
dent of the Yoouited States—”
The gineral stopped very sudden here, for
a delegashun of South Kerliny rifle clubs
wich hed hecred the niggers wuz flier,
rushed past me, an woodcut take no for an
anser, and got in anyhow. They insisted on
the uiggers gittin out, wich, ez they ain’t
agoin to be allowed to vote in the South
anyhow, we condsidered entirely safe to do.
We hustled em out without ceremony, and
give awjence to a delegashun uv Irish from
the Sixth ward, N00 York, wich woutid
sum definite pledge oz to the invashuu uv
Canady, in the interest nv Irish Independ-
ence, and a subscripshcu to the Irish skir-
mishin fund.
The general’s treatment uv the Irish wuz
ez masterly ez the others. He shook em cor-
jelly by the hand, and sed that the luv uv-
liberty wuz implanted in every Amerikiu’s
bosom, and evry Irishman‘s ez well, and that
liberty wuz the birthrite uv evry man. '
“Ceptiu naygurs and Chinaze,” interruptid
an Irishman.
He aeceptid the amendment—exceptin nig-
gers and Chinese, neither uv wich was fit to
be incorporated into the body politikle. But
uv one thing thar cood be no doubt. Robert
Emmett wuz the gratist man the world ever
prodoost, exceptin Dani O’Connell, and the
Irish citizens fought all the wars that this or
any other kentry ever had. He cood lay his
hand onto his hurt and say he loved the Irish
race. He felt that he hed stated his posishen
with sufiishent clcernis.
Ther waz one skip in the arrangements
wich I hev alreaddy rectified, wich is not
gettin the different delegashuns off the island
in different direckshuns. It is a great mis—
take io let em git a chance to talk with each
other after they leave. They compare notes
and dror conclusions.
They got to talkiu outside, and one N00
Yorker cxprest the sentiments of the others
when he remarkt:
“Well, we’ve got a non-partisan candidate
anyhow He hain’t got a politik—not a d—d
politik.”
And another one sed that the general didn’t
know more about governmental matters than
figikLellan, and he couldn’t say more nor
Our leaders are satisfied with him,however
and that is all they want. He agrees with
every one uv ’em, no matter how wide apart
they may be, and he hez determined so keep
that way till after eleckshuu‘ and to trust to
luck oz to wich he will follcr.
I thank heaven for one thing. No matter
wat his views may or may not be, we are ser-
tin uv the post oflices. Them is my 'pollitix
