A I I 0 3 I I L Y .

BY S. W. PiiTXKS.

By their verses on Euchre ’tis evident quite Neither Snxe nor tho Douglas regard it nriglit; Since the first would refuse' nil nSsitUccc to own, And boldly at all times “attempt it alone ;" While the intter, unable his foe to resist, Expccts'that his partner will always “ assist,”

Now, if Euohro illustrates the great Game of Life,

It is not by partially aping the strife ;There are times when 'tworc folly to play it

alone,For the game by opponents wore, easily won:There are times when a partner’s assistance

wore vain,S in ce attem pts to su cce e d w e re th e en em y ’s

Enin.

But he who plays Euchre, or he who regards The Battle of Life as told by the cards,Must know where to “ pass" though he hold in

his handThe { requisite honors on which ho might

“standThat if his opponents rely on their power,They find that a “ euchre" may shadow their

“ bower.”

Damn Fortune, exerting her merciless will,May give to a player deficient in skill The cards that wid win all the cards that op­

pose,Though held by the wisest and fairest of foes. Then ho proves ilia prowess who takes the firm

stand,,And “order the trump” to prevent “a lone

hand."

There are “bridges" which, carefully scan ere you cross,,

You may count that as gain which appears as a loss.

You are playing for “ points” and may “give one or two,”

And trust the next “ deal” to do Something for you.

So lnsist on the “ trump," risk the failure and blame.

For consent to a “euchre” will give you the same.

Galileo and Kepler, who gild your refrain.As if to make erudite lines that are plain,“Flayed alone,” were “assisted,” and trumped

■when they pleased,But when “ playing alone” were most fearfully

teased.Had they known when to “ pass,” when to “ let

the trump be,”The Inst had been loved, the first had been free.

What if Wilkes, on his purpose most earnestly bent,

Had known how to pass when he met with the Trent ?

How rash, with his hand to attempt it alone, And who should assist when the “ bowers" were

gone ?NotFanueil Hall, though with joy it was: full. For government ‘ 'passed it,” nnd “ euchred”

John Bull.

Yon nmy draw your own moral, hut this you must own,

It Is seldom with Safety you “play it alone.” Nor must yon“ assist” if compelled to refuse, When the opposite party his “ bowers” shall

U3?—Since your partner may be out of “ trumps" to

compete,And- tee aid you vouchsafed make his ruin'eom-

plete.

Yes, draw your own moral, but Euchre or Life Owe their losses, and gains in ephemeral strife; “Play alone” when you bold the “good cards”

in the pack—•Assist with the ace ora king and a jack- “Pasa” holding both “bowers.” On refusal to

take,You can make it the “ next,” and “ play what

you make.”Look out for the “ bridges,” and cross if you

choose,But with Euelire and Life play to win,, not to

]Qse.

“ Cologne water ? ment.”

“ The genuine, imported article, mind you- Don’t indulge in any of your shop-girl tricks by attempting to pawn off some worthless article for the real! you can’ t impose upon me, you know!”

This was said in so impertinent a drawl by the fashionable Fitzroy Steb- bins, as he twirled the ends o f his long yellow moustache between his fingers and looked down upon his surround­ings with a very perceptible curl o'f disdain upon his" patrician nose, that; the young lady behind the counter, who, with her face turned from his view, was attending to the wants of other customers, flushed painfully. She, however, turned to the case against the wall, selected a package of a dozen flasks, and, half turning, laid it before him, and then busied herself m replacing some articles she had disturbed.

“ These shop-girls are so ill bred and presuming,” he muttered, quite loud enough for his attendant to hoar, as he daintily turned the package over with Ms finger tipsy adding, a moment after, in a very indignant tone, “ Here, you girl, this package has been opened! It may be good enough for some creatures of your own class, but I want something that has not been handled over by every hire­ling’s fingers.”

“ Y e cannot open a new package for every customer who may wish for a single flask,” his attendant replied, in a wery quiet tone ; hut there was a something in it that' made him look up into her face* now for the first time fully in view.

“ B y George! Miss Bobbins!” he exclaimed, now dropping .the package, and staring at her in utter bewilder­ment. “ I — I —beg your pardon, hut 1 did not dream I was addressing you— ”

“ Oh, I am only a shop girl now, you know, and any remark, however brutal, is good enough for ‘ creatures o f my class,’ ” she remarked with a smile, though there, was a bitter re­proof in her words -that made him col­or red to tne roots of his hair.

“ But— hut— Miss Robbins, what "does it mean ?” he uttered. “ Has; anything happened^— has— have your circumstances changed since I last met you ? You know I have been out; of town for a couple'of weeks.”

“ There are good reasons for my bo- mg here, Mr. Stebbins.”

“ Ah, I understand. Bank suspen­sions— business ■: failures — and the; sweeping' away in the general wreck of many private'fortunes. You have' my sympathy in your changed circum­stances, Miss Robbins, but— ahem!

-good morning.

to cough, although tho cough sounded very much like a suppressed, sob, and the light huvt her eyes so that she had to stoop very low ovor some-goods she was putting back, and bo that some­thing very like ?, tear rolled off her cheek upon the goods; hut, a moment after, neither the cough nor the light seemed to annoy her.

Surely a Woman’s heart is the mys­tery of mykteries. That sob and that tear marked the only burial rite over a love stricken down without premoni­tion in the moment of its greatest glory. It was a short tale, like most loves of Sad endings. She had seen him; at a watering resort tho season previous, whore she was known—.and coi’reotly— as the wealthy Miss R ob­bins. Ho made a very earnest effort to interest her in himself, showing only his most agreeable characteris­tics, and succeeded. On her return home ho continued his very devoted attentions to her, and only two weeks previous to this time, when on tho eve o f a short absence, lie had in most glowing terms declared his adoration for her, and sued for'her hand. She had promised to give his suit serious com-ideration, and he prepared to an­swer him on his return. Only a few minutes before Fitzroy Stebbins had walked into Brown & Groat’s large ladies’ and gents’ furnishing goods establishment she had been thinking o f the favorable answer she was pre­pared to give him, and wondering if it would bring happines to her. How, her romance was only a memory of tho past, and, amidst all her pain, was a groat throb of thankfulness that as a shop girl she had detected the hol­lowness not only o f this man’s love, hut o f his manliness, as well.

Fitzroy Stebbins, on the other hand, swung his exquisitely gotten up self along the pavement with a very relieved look upon his handsome hut insipid face, so relieved, indeed, that it attracted the. attention of his club- room friend. Burt Waldron, who, meeting him, clapped him soundly on the shoulder, in his honest, hearty, off hand way, that some people called uncultivated and rude, and quickly exclaimed,—

“ What is it, Fitz ? Something en­joyable, I know, from the look of your phiz. Let us have it.”

“ By Jove! Burt, congratulate me! I ’ve just escaped from a deuced awk­ward fix. Yon know, of course, that I ’ve been rather sweet on Rena Rob- bius for some time ?”

Something like a cloud passed over Burt Waldron’s face as he muttered:

“ I have heard so.”“ Well, to make a long story short,

I popped to her just before I went up the country, two weeks ago. She promised me an answer on my return.I, o f course, knew that her answer would be an unqualified acceptance, as she was too sweet on me to refuse,I was led to offer myself, you know, mainly because sbe was so deucodly wealthy, and the handling of her mon­ey bags was just to my taste, though, aside from all that, she’s a decidedly nice girl. But, Bure, what’ s the mat­ter with you ?”

“ Go on— go on !” huskily demand­ed his" listener.

“ Well, five minutes ago I stepped into Brown & Groat’s to make a pur­chase, and the shop-girl that waited on me was— ”

“ My God! who?”“ Rena Robbins, by Jove ! She has

lost every penny of her wealth m some of those recent failures, and has to work for her living now behind a shop counter.”

“ Poor girl! But you, of course, as­sured her of your unchanged devo­tion.”

“ I ! ha! ha! That is capital, my boy ! I said good morning, and walked away. ’ •

It was a little wonder that Fitzroy Stebbins cowered in his patent leath­ers, as Burt Waldron towered away above and over bim in the intensity of scorn that filled his frame.

“ You contemptible villain !” hissed the angered man. “ Hever dare to speak to me again, else I shall crush the life out of your cowardly body! Stand aside!”

With an indignant swing of Ms muscular arm ho sent the frightened Stebbins whirling out into the gutter, and strode— nay, almost ran— on with gigantic strides, and a face whose every muscle wa3 eloquent with strong emotion.

It was in this , manner that he en­tered Brown & Groat’s establishment, and walked along tho passages, while customers, in fright, scampered be­yond his reach, until behind one of. the counters he espied Rena Robbins, She recognized him at once as an old friend, and welcomed him with a joy ­ous smile that was in strong contrast to her previously sad expressions, un­til, noticing her excited manner and look, she anxiously questioned:

“ What is the matter, Mr. Waldron ? Oh, please tell m o!”

“ I:—I— ” ho began, excitedly, and then hesitated and grew pale and red by turns, managing at last to stam­mer out, “ Well, I suppose I have put my foot into it* and you. will only laugh at me; but I mot.Fitzroy Sfceb- bins a few minutes ago.”

‘ •Ob, I tbink I understand now,” she said; thoughtfully, and, her-face clouded.

“ Miss Robbins, I sympathize with you— yes, from the bottom of my heart I do-r-in the loss of all your wealth; but I honor you ten thousand times more for your cheerful; submis sion to it, and your' courage in facing; life’ s stern- realities without fear or favor:” •, ■

Her bosom swelled'almost to burst: mg, and her eyes' filled with-'moisture’ asahe’ tried to reply,' • but in his ex:: citemont he’ interrupted her.

‘When"' you 'were wealthy you did

“ Gooffmorning.” ' ■ ... v„ As.theAfashionablo Fitzroy"' Sfeb- binspassedintoYhestreefcj'RenaRob- bipa, the. shop-girl* found it necessary

dered why you so persistently avoided„„ . n IDG.

A swift, burning beam from his eyes straight into hers must have re­vealed more of the cause than he men­tioned, for she blushed and trembled and grew faint with that sudden reve­lation,; While, controlling himself again, be continued,—

“ You are poor now— you are alone, and you need some one older and. wis­er than you in the ways of the worldto protect you. I, too, am pool-, but

■not xequire'blunf,'" unpolished" friends lik’etme, and l'k ep t 'ou to f your'way.”

;“ Oh,,Mr..-Waldron!, Hpw.you mis­judged m e!” ,'she murmured! \“ I* al­ways enjoyed your visits, - and w'on-

honorable, and no one dare misinter­pret my attentions. I shall bo your brother— I, shall be proud of my little sister who is only a ‘shop-girl,’ . and, by Jove! any one who casts an asper­sion upon you shall feel my weight. God bless you, brave little woman !”

Before: she could answer a word lie Was a dozen steps away, stalking out of the place in as great excitement as when ho entered it. She was bewil­dered ; was this ali a dream, a figment of her own brain ? Her glance caught an object that convinced her it was not. It was a pocket-book that had been pushed, unperceived, almost un­der her hands, and within it was five hundred dollars. Rena knew that Burt Waldron’s hands had placed it there, not knowing inhis own honesty how Ms act might bo misinterpreted, and she therefore kissed it many times before she slipped it into her pocket to be returned to tho great­hearted donor.

Rena had never before in all her life felt so strangely happy as during the remainder of this day, though for some cause she was very hysterical, and often caught herself on the Verge of bursting into tears— happy tears, though.

When would she meet Burt W al­dron again, she wondered, so that she could return the pocket-book to him. She received an answer on donning her wraps and starting for 'home. Just outside the door he stood, a little subdued looking: he did not ask her to take his arm, but, taking hers, and clinging to her, as if he feared she might attempt to escape, he cai'ried her -along with him in a wild stride for several blocks, until, looking down, he found her quite out of breath.. Apologizing for his thoughtlessness, he let her lead the yyay thereafter. Several times during that walk her hand grasped the pocket-book to re­turn it to him, but each time there was a look in his face that made her feel she dared not hurt Ms great, no­ble nature by letting, him think she spurned his gift.

She did not let him accompany her quite to her home, and he, thinking she was too sensitive to have him be­hold how humbly she lived, w'ent back unmurmuringly. That night her pil­low was very wet with tears, strange, happy tears, and the following morn­ing, though there was a shorter way to reach her place of employment, she walked to the place where Burt had parted with her the evening previous, just to see it again. There, on the very spot,: the pour fellow stood, pa- tiently waiting to accompany her to" the store.

And so it was, morning and even­ing, for days, until the days lengthen­ed into weeks; and then, during one of these walks, Burt, like a great,, awkward fellow, managed, in wild trembling and: excitement, to confess * some terrible secret and ask some ter­rible request. When Rena, blushing, red and trembling, too, uttered an al- moBt unintelligible “ yes,” be, forget­ting that they were on a public street, caught her up in his arms with a shout of joy , and pressed a.dozen kisses on her lips, greatly to her ,dismay, For­tunately it was a deserted street, ex­cept for a, few urchins who hugely en­joyed the scene. .

Their marriage was arranged by them to take place- at the humble home of one of Rena’s friends, The evening before the happy occasion, Burt had received permission to call upon her there, He was in the hap­piest of moods, and Rena, when they were alone a few minutes, hlushingly handed him the pocket-book he had, .during that memorable visit to Brown & Groat’s, secretly left on the coun­ter for her. She told him, with much confusion, that she had taken tho lib­erty to accept-the five hundred dol­lars he had enclosed in it, and devote it to her own ruse.

Hastily opening it, with the pur­pose of placing a dozen more bank bills ■ there, and returning it to her, he noticed a bulky paper drop from its folds. , Picking it up, he unfolded it t o ' learn its nature, A cry of amazement welled up from his lips as he read, in a bewildered way, that, for the consideration of five hundred dollars' paid by Burt Waldron to Rena Robbins, and for the- poor shop-girl, the said Rena-Robbins conveyed, to him a long list of houses'and lands, stocks,’‘'securities and-money., “ 0 , Rena !” "he moaned,- pitifully

stretching his hands out in pleading; to her, “ what 'can it mean?” .

She was on Ms-knees," and her arms tight around his'neck,- before she re­plied. , * ■ - r .

“ It means, darling Burt, that I haye only, been playing shop-girl. It ‘ was a'freak o f mine'to fill'the position, of a girl friend, and thus enable, her to have a. much needed vacation. Alb the wealth -Fever-had" was mine until 'to-day, when,'by,this conveyance; you became the.rightful owner of' half' of it.’ ’- ‘ . '"V ; ‘ 7 ' ■ \ ~v” '

Paste This in “ His” Hat.A lady writer has this with respect

,to lover’s attentions: “ In the first place, it i3 an imposition on any well bred girl to keep her up later than half past ten, when you have the op­portunity of seeing her often. I f you always leave her with the wish in her heart that you had stayed longer, you gain so much. Never run the risk of wearying her with your pres­ence. Be just as earnest and straight­forward as in your honorable dealing with men. Impress your friends with the worthiness and seriousness of your love, so that vulgar and senseless ban­tering will appear to them as such. Love is religion— the supremest hap­piness ; wear it manfully and proudly, but boldly! Woo a woman bravely. I f there is anything humiliating to a woman, it is to have a lover whom she wishes to honor, weak and vapid, ever yielding, and halt afraid of her. She longs to tell him to “ act like a man !” The man who conceals or denies his love for fear of being laughed at is a coward. A lovo that has no element of divinity in it is not love, but pas­sion, which of itself has nothing en­nobling. That was a beautiful in­scription on an engagement ring: ‘Each for the other, and both for God.’ ”

Folly of Fretting.He who frets is never the one who

mends, who heals, who repairs evils; he discourages, enfeebles, and too often disables those around him, who, but for the gloom and depression of his company, would do good work and keep up brave cheer; The effect up­on a sensitive person o f the mere neighborhood of a fretter is indescrib­able. It is to the soul what a cold, icy mist is to the body,— more chill­ing than, the bitterest frost, more dan­gerous than the fiercest storm. And when the fretter is beloved, whose nearness of relation to us makes his, fretting even at the weather seem al­most like a personal reproach to us,, then the misery of it becomes indeed insupportable. Most men call, fret­ting a minor fault; a foible, and not a vice. There is no vice except drunk­enness which can so utterly destroy the peace and happiness of a home.

Fear of Disease.It i3 said that while the plague was

raging in Buenos Ayres, the grave diggers bore charmed lives. Of the 800 men so employed, not one died of the disease. It has often been no­ticed, that during the prevalence of pestilential' diseases, physicians, un­dertakers, nurses and grave-diggers, whose business compelled constant lia­bility to infection, have .usually es­caped in far greater ratio than their numbers.would warrant. Their charm of this immunity from the prevailing scourge is very .simple. They are not scared; they are positive to the disease, .and thus repel its attacks.. Fear is a great ally to death. , W ho­ever is afraid of -disease is in a nega­tive condition, and really invites its approach. And thus it is the world over. The brave die but once, while cowards die maty times. Much un­necessary alarm exists in every com­munity in regard to many diseases. We are, it is true, all liable to sick­ness and death, "blitif we are all sober,, cleanly and 'brave of heart, we may have no fear of disease of. body or mind. ■ _

The. Wool Clip of Michigan.We are giving some marvelous ac­

counts of the product of the wool shearings. These,' it is true, are in the best flocks o f the State,, but they are. also a sample of what the clip is to be.this year. Sheep, as' a general thing,; have wintered well, have come through in goodebndition, are healthy and strong, and the product o f wool is evidently bound to be large in quantity and excellentin quality. We are not’ Sure .but that the money re­ceived will: be as large in amount as in previous years, for there will be more and better wool, and there is no decline in the number of sheep, but rather an 5ncveiise.— Miolritjan Farm­er. .

Old Ago.Nine-tenths of our clever men have

exhibited more vigor of intelect at fif­ty years of ago than at forty or any time before. Franklin was forty when he began in real earnest the study of natural philosophy. The principal of one o f the most flourishing colleges in America was a farm servant until past the age when most students have com­pleted their collegiate education. Sir Henry Spelman did not begin the study of science until he was between fifty and sixty years of age. Greek was the first foreign language which Cato, the Celebrated Roman censor, acquired and' he did so in his old age. A1 fieri,; whose writing has caused a revolution in the dramatic literature of Italy, was left without a father In his infancy, and wasted his early years. John Ogilsby. the author o f poetical transla­tions from Virgil and Homer, began the study of Latin when about forty years of age, and Greek in his forty- fourth. Boccaccio, one of the most illustrious writers that, ever appear ed in Italy, suffered nearly half of his life to pass without improvement. Handel was forty-eight before he published any of his great works. Dr. Thomas Arnold of Rugby, learned German at forty, in order that he might read Neibuhr in the original, and Dr. Samuel John­son studied Dutch after lie was sixty. Mrs." Somerville was near eighty when she revised her scientific treatises, and Michael Angelo was long past the prime of life when he superintended the architecture of St. Peter’s Church of Rome. Dandolo was ninety when he laid the siege of Constantinople and recovered it to the Latin empire.

A Texas Incident.The Waco Examiner of April 4 , un­

der the heading of “ Neatly done” says that a young man living about 15 miles above the city was awakened recently by the suspicious harking and growling of Ms dog in the yard. Rising lightlv from his bed, he peeped out through a window pane, and there, dimly out­lined in the moon-light, stood the form of a man. With one hand he was Untying the gentleman’s fine horse, which was haltered for the night, while with the other he held a six-shooter, pointing directly at the front door. Taking in. the situation at a glance, our young friend gently reached for his shot-gun, and, passing out at the back door and round the corner, open­ed the attack from an unexpected and unguarded quarter. Under this skill­ful generalship the enemy came down while in the act o f mounting and with­out responding to the first fire. The deceased was buried without the hon­ors o f either peace or war.

A Wander of Science.Those who have handled a piece of

congealed mercury which freezes at a temperature o f 39 degrees below zero, will know that the sensation is similar to that of holding a coal of fire in the hand. In other words, intense heat and intense cold hear a striking re­semblance to each other in their ef­fects. A Hungarian chemist, whose specialty consists in finding out the best methods for preserving meats, has: made practical use of this -analo­gy in the action of heat and cold, and partially cooks his meats, by subject- ing them to the action of intense cold. Strange to say,- that tho meat sub­jected to this low temperature, is. re­duced to a condition similar to that produced by heat. The.material must he perfectly fresh, and after being ex­posed to ,a .temperature of thirty-three degrees below zero must be carefully sealed in tins., It .is found when opened to preserve a, remarkable freshness, and to be in a more satis­factory condition for use than lias hitherto been attained by ,any other method for the same purpose. A large manufactory i3 being-built in Hungary for preparing meat on this principle.

Food as Medicine.Dr. Hail relates the case of a -man

who was cured oF Ms biliousness by going without his supper and drinking freely of lemonade. Every morning says the doctor, this patient arose with a wonderful sense of rest and refresh­ment, and feeling as though the blood had 'been literally washed, cleansed and cooled by the lemonade and fast. His theory is that food can be used as a remedy for many diseases success­fully. As an example, be cures spit­ting of blood by the use of salt; epi­lepsy by ■watermelon; kidnoy" affection by celery ; poison, olive or sweet o il; erysipelas, pounded cranberries ap­plied to the part affected ; hydropho­bia, onions, etc. So the way to keep in good health is really to know what

.to eat— not to know what medicine to take.

Trofits of Poultry.Poultry as a source of profit is gen­

erally under-valued by most farmers, for, from the hap-hazard style they are kept in, perhaps there is not much profit— nor would there be in any other farm stock— if no more care or attention was devoted to them than there is usually bestowed upon poultry. I f only the multitude of insects de­stroyed by poultry, (so injurious to tbe crops of the farmer) are consider­ed, they are of great value, while their guano, if properly saved, is worth five times what it costs to feed them.

Farmers are too prone to conclude that, “ chickens eat their heads off”— when, if they had kept a correct ac­count of all food furnished the num­ber of eggs laid, chickens sold, and those eaten by their families, they would discover evidence sufficient to convince them that their prejudice was without reason or foundation.

"When poultry have to roost in trees, scratch in a neighbor’s garden for a living, and are not considered worthy of attention, they are truly of not much account. Common fowls, wMch may possess good laying qualities— derive those good traits from some strain of pure bred fowls, hut if al­lowed to intermingle promiscuosly, will eventually become so crossed that the laying propensity is destroyed or bred out. It would be the same with pure-bred herd-book cattle unless kept pure. There are several varieties of pure-bred fowls that are very profita­ble as egg producers, some laying as much as eighteen dozen in one year, A t the average price of thirty cents per dozen this amounts to §4.50 per hen. This is not mere surmising, for I have had hens that laid twenty-one dozen in a year.

I f farmers who think poultry do not pay would give their feathered stock to their sons or daughters with permission to enjoy and own any profit that might accrue from keeping them, they would soon he convinced that there’s something in it.” Poultry raising in some parts of the country, by ladies, is indeed quite extensively carried on. There is certainly no more health promoting exercise than that afforded by caring for, or having the management of a flock o f poultry,, and i f the flock is one o f any one of the pure breeds— there is in addition to the exhilarating influence, an en­thusiasm that causes what might oth­erwise he considered a task, to become a pleasure,—-and therefore profit and pleasure are happily combined. A young lady in Bethel, Pennsylvania, during the ‘year 1874, kept a strict account of all the expenditures for feed, etc., for her yard of fowls, and at the regular market price for eggs and chickens, she cleared above all expenses three hundred and sixty dol­lars, besides having more stock on hand than she started with. Is not this an incentive sufficient to awaken an interest among the numerous fair readers of the Farmer in favor of gallinaceous stock? It is certainly’ worthy of emulation.— Got. of Mary­land Farmer.

Boys on the Farm. . ■It iB a good plan to give the boys

some inducement to take an active and personal interest in the enterprise, • (Some pi ece of land to cultivate on their own hook,, or some chance to make a*, little money by their skill, industry and attention, whether it is in the wav of a small lot of land, the keeping of poultry or some other kind o f stock. Every one, whether it be boy or man, works better to have a personal inter­est and share in tho work. It is no doubt true that one great reason why farmers’ boys are so anxious to leave the farm and go in pursuit of other business is in consequence of so much drudgery and hard work. The hone and muscle are too much exercised and the mind‘too much chained and narrowed clown. .Every farmershould endeavor to give hi? boys a good com­mon school education, at least, and i f his means are adequate to go beyond this, all the better; "Why should not the hoy who intends to be.come a’far­mer, bo as well educated as though iff- tended for mercantile or any other, pursuit ? Boys should be taught in tho school-room as well as at home, that farming is healthy and honorable and independent, not low and degrad­ing, as some appear to think. *We ought to insist upon habits of indus­try and obedience, but do all in our power to attach them to the home­stead;— FlougJiman.

There'has been a general cutting rtovn of.fares on the eastern railroads. The K. X . & Erie roact announces the following rates from New Xork to different poin ts in the West. To Chi­cago, $16 j Cincinnati, 1 4 ; Indianap­olis, $15; St. Louis, $21 ; Louisville, SIS} Detroit, $12; Cleveland, $11. Rates to Buffalo and; Niagara Balls are, also reduced to $8.

Ionia Sentinel favors a. State ticket with CharlcB H . CroswcU for Governor, and “ for State Treasurer, Secretary o f State* and Auditor Gen­eral, tire present efficient and popular incumbents— Colonel William B . Me- Creery, Hon. E . G. D . Holden, and Gon. Ralph E ly.” With such a tick­et, it predicts a Republican majority o f 40,000 in the State.

The proprietor of the Bingham house at„Philadelphia has been con­victed o f refusing a respectable* color­ed clergyman accommodations when there was plenty of room in the hotel, and the court imposes a fine of $500. That landlord is not so particular in the selection o f his

ests now.

Pursuant o f the resolution, o f Con­gress, President Grant has issued a proclamation calling upon; the people to assemble in the respective towns on the nest fourth o f July, celebrate the Centennial, and deliver, either in print or manuscript, one copy o f the history o f their town to the county clerk and another to the Librarian o f Congress. Last week we published a letter from Gov. Bagley on this subject, asking in addition to the above that copies of the several his­tories be filed with the State Libra- rain at Lansing.

The city of Quebec was visited by a conflagration, on Tuesday last, which destroyed One thousand build­ings with most of their contents, en­tailing the loss o f at least $1,000,- 000. The fire originated somewhere in the western part o f St. Louis sub­urb, and swept through the .middle of the: fortifications. I t then turned north or south, burning: in the latter direction to the grand Alee, and in the former to the third street south o f St, John. The burning was fierce­

l y continued until a late hour Tuesday night, when the flames were some­what subdued but not stopped.

A Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune has been doing some close figuring on the chances of Mr. Blaine for the nomination at the Cin­cinnati Convention. Ha says:

“ Those closest to him say they have no doubt he will be nominated on the first or second ballot,: and they give, as they say, authentic reasons for the belief that is within them. Their figures are striking and inter­esting, They say that with his large support in, other sections, New En­gland will give him her solid vote on the; first ballot— eighty-two delegates. He then has New Jersey, I S ; Dela­ware, 6 ; Maryland, 1 0 ; Virginia, 1 8 ; North Carolina, 1 0 ; Georgia, 1 2 ; Mississippi, 5 ; Tennessee, 5 ; Texas, 8 ; Oregon, 6 ; California, 10 ; Colorado, 4 ; the Territories, I S ; Kansas, 10 ; Nebraska, 6 ; Missouri, 1 6 ; Minnesota,. 1 0 ; Wisconsin, 22 ; Illinois, 4 1 ; Michigan, 16. In addi­tion, Blaine?s confidants say he will receive from Iowa, 22 votes, and from Florida 6. These are counted for the first ballot, and number S62, which will lack only 15 o f a majority o f the Convention.

In case the votes credited for Mr. Bristow are received by him, which some o f Blain’s friends doubt, these figures will he reduced from 20 to 80. The friends o f the Maine statesman seem to have good causa for rejoic­ing;”

A s stated last week the vein in tho Cleveland silver mine has been struck in the down right shaft, and since our last the work has been squared up and. the vein has been found to be three feet wide and well filled with native Bilver from the hanging of the foot; wall; Drifting baa been com­menced both north and south on the vein so as to fully test it. None of the vein.has been taken np in tho drift; and will not be probably until Capt. Mellen comes up, who is daily expected. W e are glad to learn that orders have been received not to ship the’ six tons of,vein rock to Stiver Islet for treatment.* We understand it is the intention o f the company to continue work at the mine and prove its value.— Ontonagon Miner.

There is a church in Monroe coun­ty, near the village o f Ida, in: which there is a tablet forbidding anyone to preach therein who. does not pray kneeling,' or preaches from manuscript or is a member o f any secret society, or who has his life insured. A wealthy Lutheran built it, and he proposes to have it run according to his own naiv roW-guage, or not at all.*: It is usual" ly U3ed not at all. ■

This is “ Brick” Pomeroy's idea in regard to the Centennial show at Phil­adelphia, and it is about as near the correct thing as any we have seen:

“ It will be easier to keep away from the sharpers and money-grab­bers for whom the Centennial swindle is gotten up in Philadelphia, than to work months to reimburse expenses. The railroads refuse to lessen fares. The hotels in Philadelphia have gen­erally jumped their rates to five and six dollars a day for board, with enor­mous charges extra for parlors. The price o f admission to the building is half a dollar every time you pass in. The design of the managers is to make for themselves every dollar possible, no matter who is robbed, who suffers, or who is inconvenienced.

Save the money to use nearer home. Make your town, county and State fairs in the west and south more at­tractive this year than usual. Pro­vide entertainment for persons who are tired and weary, and keep away from the Centennial trap.”

G01KG for our henry.* Since the; Democratic'State Con­vention, Mr. H enry Chamberlain, of this county, is receiving the attention o f the Democratic papers of tho State in a manner that shows conclusively his chances for the nomination for Governor to be waning. The follow­ing extracts from: the Detroit Free Press and Jackson Patriot are sam­ples. The latter paper says :

*Tt was currently reported after the convention that Mr* Chamberlain was so very1 soft on the money question that lie had intimated that in case the Republicans

: nominated a rag money man on a rag plat­form at Cincinnati, and. the Democrats put up a, hard money man on a coin platform at St. Louis, he should vote for the former, t f this is true Mr. Chamberlain will entire­ly misrepresent Michigan in the place to which ho has boen chosen, and: had the full text o f Ms1 position been know ii sooner, lie would have stood no chance for an election as a delegate at large. W e believe with the Gazette that an attempt to constantly conciliate the greenback de­ment is a mistake. * * "We can readi­ly see how a noisy demagogue like Wilber; fresh from the ranks of the Republicans, may attempt to instruct a party on financ­es which has for seventy years persistently and conscientiously held for the only mon­ey which the experience of centuries has demonstrated can give stability to proper­ty, commerce and business morals, but we cannot just grasp the consistency of Mr. Chamberlain’s present position. Two years ago he ran for Governor on a most unequivocal hard, money. platform, and this rather remarkable change of sentiment on his part conveys au unfavorable impres­sion., W e fear that: Mr. C. has committed the very grave error o f Jailing in with a hobby which ho imagines will be tempora­rily popular, father than contend: for, and Stoutly maintain certain: fixed principles known to be wholesome.”

In noticing the article o f the Patri­ot the Free Press adds:

“ The extract, which we publish, else­where, from the Jackson Patriot, repre­sents, we have no .doubt, the honest judg­ment; not only of that journal, but. of other influential Democratic journals in the State concerning Hon. Henry Cham­berlain, one of the delegates at large' to St. Louis. * * * That Mr. Cham­berlain’s sympathies last winter were very strong with that element in the Democrat­ic party of the State which appeared at the Convention as the cham­pion of “soft money," so called, we are well aware; and we have no authority from him to state that his views on the subject have undergone any material change. It cannot be possible, however, that, unless there has been some change, Mr. Chamberlain would accept the posi­tion of delegate from a convention enter­taining,, by so large a majority as there was at Lansing, the most uncompromising hostility to those views. E ven if lie could be supposed to be in ignorance at the time he was chosen as to the will of: the Con­vention, he could not have remained ig­norant after the adoption of the platform; and if ho occupied any such, equivocal atti­tude toward Democracy and the principles enunciated by the Convention, as the Patriot assumss, he would certainly have

! declined the honor conferred upon him."We have it from good authority

that Mr. Chamberlain has repeatedly said to persons in this county, that he would not vote for any man whom he knew to Be a “ Bard money” man,, and from the present outlook, it seems to Be a foregone csnclusion that Both the great parties of our country will put hard money platforms and “ hard mon­ey” man in the field this year. This being the case, where will Mr. Cham­berlain be ? He has Been too long a leader of the Democracy of this sec­tion for that party to let him. go, therefore we.would not Be surprised (now that it is quite sure he cannot be nominated for Governor) i f the nomination for Congress from this dis­trict will Be offered |him. I f he re­ceives the nomination it will not: make much difference to him what the {plat­form of his party is. A platform is usually of minor consequence to most Democrats.

ic party of California as a glorious victory in the cause of honest govern­ment.”

The Kentucky Democratic Conven­tion assembled in Louisville, May 25th. The Hon. Isaac Caldwell, of Louisville, and General John S. Wil­liams, o f Mfc. Sterling; were chosen electors for the State at large. Twaive nominations for delegates to represent the State at large at St. Louis were made, and. Henry Wattcrson, of Lou­isville; Colonel W. G.. P. Brecldn- xidgo, of Lexington; the Hon. Willis P . Machen, o f Lyon County; and the Hon. John M. Rice, of Lawrence County, were elected to fill -the posi­tions. .

A platform was adop ted declaring in fayor the immediate and uncondi­tional repeal o f the act of Jan. 14, 18T5, commonly known as the re­sumption act; but declaring gold and silver as the true Basis for a currency, specie payment should be resumed at the earliest time at which it can be done without detriment to the com­mercial and industrial interests o f the people.

Tho delegates go to St. Louis un­instructed as to the Presidential can­didate.

The Republicans o f Illinois met in convention at Springfield the same day and adopted a platform that is severely criticised by Republicans elsowhere. The convention declared in favor of Blaine.

The Republicans o f Minnesota de­clared on the same day in favor of a pure* honest, and efficient Govern­ment; the preservation of an untar­nished national credit; hard money or its equivalent, paper convertible into coin.

The Republicans of Ohio, a few days Before declared: “ W c recognize gold as the true standard o f values, and the only steady and safe basis for a circulating medium, and declare that the policy o f finance should be steadi­ly pursued which, without unnecessa­ry injury to business or trade, will ul­timately equalize the value o f the coin and paper dollar.”

STATE CONTENTIONS.The Democrats of this State held

their State Convention at Lansing, May 24th. A special tc tho Inter- Ocean savs:

“ After a stormy debate the tariff plank was dropped from their plat­form. The hard-money plank was retained by a vote o f 157 to 70. Ohanncy Joslyn and Wm. P. Wells were champions of hard money and speedy resumption, while Mr. Wilber, o f Allegan; and. Swineford, o f Mar­quette, advocated the repeal o f our resumption laws and the law demone­tizing silver. The stormy discussion was cut short by a call of the previ­ous question and a motion, to adjourn. The delegates, to St. Loui3 go unin­structed; but the prevailing sentiment of the Convention was plainly for Tilden and resumption.”

Wm. L. Webber, o f Saginaw; Pe­ter White, o f Marquette; Merrill I. Mills, o f Detroit, and Henry Cham­berlain, o f Berrien, were elected dele­gates at large. The following district delegates were elected:

Pirst, A . W.. Copland, Edward Kanter ; Second, Herman C. Red- field, George 0.; Morris; Third, A . G. Brown, M. Shoemaker ; Fourth, George B. Turner, A . 0 . Briggs; Fifth, James Blair, Fred A . Niins; Sixth, M. Y : Montgomery, J. D. N orton; Eighth, George L . Bur­roughs, A . C. Maxwell; Ninth, Thom­as D. Stinson, Edward Ryan.

The California Democrats held their State Convention at San Francisco, May 25th, and elected twelve dele­gates'to the St. Louis Convention. A platform, of which we give below three sections, was adopted..

“ Preservation of the public faith and credit, and honest payment o f public debts.”

“ Money— Constitutional gold and silver the. only legal-tender.”

“ Tariff for purposes o f revenue only. ”The following resolution was passed

The Gubernatorial Question.E d . B e r r ie s Co. R ecord :— A l­

most everybody knows that the people of Michigan will, in November next, elect a Governor o f this State for the next two years.

In certain localities and among quite a number o f Republican papers, the question as to the man who Shall be the standard-bearer of the Repub­lican party in the coming Gubernato­rial campaign has been canvassed, and we would almost conclude that the mantle had fallen upon the Hon. O. M. Croswell, o f Adrian. A ll things being equal Such a conclusion would perhaps be wisdom indeed. While no one can or will find fault with the honorable gentleman above named, as to qualifications and fitness for the po­sition, yet, when we look over the his­tory o f the party for the past twenty two years and find where all the Gov­ernors for these many years have come from, as to location, in this State, one would almost conclude fthat east­ern Michigan possessed in a very pe­culiar manner the men who are fit and capable to fill this important office. No man as yet has Been found west of Jackson who has had all the essentials necessary to fill the Gubernatorial chair, and while it is a fact not to be disputed, that the majorities that the Republican party has worked up from year to year have, in a great measure, come from the counties west o f Jack- son, yet whenever the name o f any western: man has heretofore been pre­sented to the nominating conventions they have simply been complimented and laid one side,

The time will soon arrive for the meeting o f a Republican State Con­vention to nominate State officers, and it may not he out o f place to cast about and gee if there may not be a man found in the western part o f this great State who has qualifications suf­ficient to entitle him to receive at the hands of the convention, not simply a flattering complimentary, but a solid endorsement. And now, looking over the many good,, true, honest and able men in the ranks o f the party, com­petent, able and qualified in all res­pects to bear the standard o f the Re­publican party in this State to certain victory, we think Hon. W . A . How­ard, o f Grand Rapids, is the man; Mr. Howard’s connection with the party is as old as the party itself. In. all places and at all times heJhas proved himself a fit and proper man, and has always been as true as Steel to the party and its: principles, and now, in the fulness and. ripeness, of years, the old man eloquent of Michigan, en­deared to the RepuMican party by every tie that unites us as a party, beloved and respected by all men who know him, (and who does not know Wm- A . Howard) his name will give strength to the party, and, i f nominat­ed, will secure a grand and glorious victory on the ides of November next.

some battles will have to be fought and won this summer, on many fields. The prospect : looks threatening at present. i '

The prospect was never brighter for fruit o f nearly'all kinds. With the •exception o f peaches, it is believed none was effected by tho late frosts. For blossoming all. was. had that could be desired. Apples particularly prom­ise bountifully. And all other crops promise well now, so far as planted and they have had time to show them­selves above the surface. Though corn planting is a little late, there is yet time to raise all that can bo need­ed. “ Seed-time” has nevor yet failed. And often those conditions which we prefer are better overruled by the higher Wisdom.-

The air is full of “ Centennial,” and we are reminded constantly that we live in tlie Centennial year. “ Are you going to the Centennial ?” is often asked. Flags are on the breeze and mottoes on the goods, and pur­chase what articles you will, you cannot get. And still the people and the newspapers talk of tho high fares and the impracticable expense. It is a pity i f either of these, that could be otherwise, shall make an insuperable obstacle to. many. Doubtless they will, and how to be regretted when, if possible, it is something we should all enjoy. But there are some things which cannot be compassed even un­der free institutions. And this is likely to be one of them— a free ride and a gratuitous admission to the Great Exhibition, We can give twen- ty-fivo acres more of space than any other nation, but it will coBt some­thing to see them. We hope though, the expenses will he reduced to the minimum, and the privilege will be brought within the reach o f as many as possible. It must provo a great educator in knowledge all people very much need to have. The best opportunity our people will or can have to learn o f other nations their best ways and teach them ours. Un­fortunately few of us can afford to wait till-the next. We shall agree on that point, I think. It will be this Centennial we attend or none. “ Pos­itively the last chance.”

We are having fine weather now; favorable for all classes. But even within the last week the highways have been very bad with deep mud. Wo were carried back to early spring roads.

Our toWn is favored with most of the different sects in religion, from Presbyterian to Roman Catholic. We have many Germans, principally em­braced within the Catholic and Luth­eran communions. In some of these churches the services are conducted in the German language.* They are generally a thrifty people, and will do business and make profit when Americans will fail. They are good citizens for the most part, but when temperance is involved they adhere to the lager. They are utterly im­practicable to our American ideas on this question. Yours,

E d . R e c o r d . — We are nownear the end o f spring months, so called, but in this vicinity our farmers are far from the end of their spring work. On account of the continued and abund­ant rains they are very backward. Many acres o f land are yet unplowed for corn. A ll through this "county the soil is very different from that tilled by the farmers of Berrien coun­ty: It is clayey and cannot bo moved after rains to advantage till well drained, else it bakes and becomes hard or sticky. This causes farmers when it is wet at tMs season of the. year to feel impatient. They cannot work their fields. They must wait. And with the season so far advanced they feel they have not much time for waiting. It is getting late to get in their corn, and that in this country is the crop very much depended upon for profit. Under favorable conditions this soil produces abundant returns. Wheat was damaged by the open winter. Peaches somewhat by the cold spring. Potatoes are already suffering from the bugs, which the open, mild; winter failed to kill. This pest comes through as brisk as: though no winter had in­tervened to. do it harm, The plants did not show themselves as early above ground as those destroyers, which seemed just waiting to catch them. ' I f potatoes are. from ten to twenty cents a bushel next spring,

and a half grammes, which is equiva­lent to somewhat, over one hundred and ninety.two:'and nine-tenths grains (192,904) troy— an excess: of nearly one grain or nearly one-half o f one per cent, over the weight of the coin of tho earlier period. Tho fineness of the metal is the same for the coins of •each-period,, v iz : nine-tenths silver to one-tenth of copper alloy.

Blaine says, in reference to the charges made against him, that they are utterly false, and that lie is pur- sued by a “ disreputable gang.”

Morton’s friends base the chances of his nomination largely upon his re­ceiving the Southern vote.

The city is crowded with visitors from all parts of the world. They come from the Centennial Exhibition.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.W ashington, D. O., May 27.

The Democratic House has distin­guished itself for nothing so much as Its masterly inactivity. It started out with a vigorous system of. inves­tigation into the doings of the party in power. Committees were appointed charged With, the special duty of over­hauling the Departments with the hope o f discovering fraud and corruption at every turn. Witnesses who were po­litically opposed to the Republican party were summoned from all parts o f the Union and brought to Wash­ington at the government expense to tell what they knew of the wrong­doings of Republican officials. R e­butting testimony was refused and. the decision in nearly every instance was made up on ex-parte evidence. Evi­dence of corruption thus prepared was thrown into .the form o f a report and printed at the Government printing office, in pamphlet form; at the cost of the United States Treasury; and preserved, for Democratic campaign work in the Presidential contest.

A ll this self-imposed labor has not, however, proved to be so profitable as was at first anticipated. Corruption failed to pan out as freely as was ex­pected, and the work has been pretty generally abandoned. So far the labors o f the Democratic House have most decidedly injured their own party, and hundreds o f letters are re­ceived daily by Democratic members of the House, begging them to aban­don their investigations and attend to the legitimate business of the session-. The Democratic majority has proved to be a blessing rather than a curse to the Republican party. Its inves­tigations have established the fact that official integrity is the rule, with rare and insignificant exceptions, in every department o f the Government. The Republican party has never gone into a Presidential campaign with a better record than it enjoys at the present time. The nominee of the Cincinnati.convention will he the next President of the United States.

The engrossing conversation in political circles here has reference to the approaching Republican conven­tion at Cincinnati. Speculation is futile and vain; and yet the signs .of the times afford some-data upon which to base a guess at the probabilities. The political outlook to-day indicates the following as Hear what may be expected on the first ballot:

Blaine, 225 votes; Morton, 200 votes; Conkling, 125 votes ; Bristow, 100 votes ; scattering, 100 votes.

On third or fourth ballot the fol­lowing result will be reached ; Blaine, 200 votes; Morton, 175 votes; Conic- ling, 125 votes; Bristow, 150 votes ; Hayes, 100 votes. The “ unknown” name will then be sought and found not in the unknown class but in some such tried Republican as Hon. Z. Chandler possibly, or Hon. F. T. F ree-. linghuysen and carry tho vote that will be followed'by unanimous accla­mation, and general shout of “ Eu­reka’ ’ will fill the hall. This is our- “ guess.” Those who. can do better will please step to the front;

Complaints aro^mado that the new silver half-dollar is lighter and o f ' in­ferior quality to "the former coinage.

'.Resumption in the Republican Con­vention.

In the midst of the discussion of Republican Presidential candidates, and speculation as to their respective chances for the nomination at Cincin­nati, which now occupies so much of the public attention, comparatively little consideration is given to a sub­ject only less important—-the attitude which the Convention will take upon the great practical issue of specie re­sumption. It is true, as George Wil­liam Curtis has said, that in the com­ing campaign the candidate will be the platform, and tho selection o f a candidate whose very name and record shall be a pledge to the people of hon­esty, economy and reform in the ad­ministration of the government, and especially in the civil service, is the matter of first and paramount impor­tance. But in order to make the Re­publican National Convention a com­plete success, it is not merely necessa­ry that it should nominate a good candidate, who shall be a platform in himself, but that it should construct a written platform consistent with the

one.This wo hope and believe the R e­

publican Convention will do. The great subjects before the country are those of administrative reform and the resumption of specie payments. Upon the first, the Convention will speak with no doubtful utterances. Upon the second there has been some divi­sion in the ranks of the Republican party, But we are glad to note that the present drift of opinion among Republicans in all parts of the Union is strongly toward specie resumption in accordance with the pledge given by Congress by the act of January, 1S75. Never, since the panic of 1878, has that sentiment been so strong. The inflation mania which swept over the country in 1S74 seems to have almost entirely died out with­in the ranks of the Republican party. The incurable lunatics upon this sub­ject have gone out from among us, to our great relief, and those who were less severely afflicted have most of them been restored to sanity.

An interesting exhibit of the strength o f the feeling in favor of specie resumption is found in the ac­tion of the Republican State Conven­tions held during the present year

.upon this question. O f the thirty- five Conventions thuB far held, twenty- one have passed resolutions on the subject of specie payments, and four­teen, including our own, have remain­ed silent upon it. Of the twenty-one, fifteen have declared unequivocally for a currency based upon and con­vertible Into coin; five have used lan­guage which, while it is not explicit, shows that there is no taint of inflation in the Republican ranks in the States which the Conventions represent; andbut one Convention, that of Indiana, has. suggested the repeal of any part of the resumption act. Of the four­teen Conventions which made no ref­erence to the. currency question, seven at least were held in States whose Republicans arc thoroughly sound upon this subject.

The showing of Republican senti­ment for sound money is still stronger when wo examine the character and location of the States which have de­clared for specie resumption unequiv­ocally. They consist of New Xork, Massachusetts and Connecticut in the East; Nebraska, Minnesota, Oregon, Colorado and California in the West ;■ Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia and Deleware, of the old border States, and Georgia and Tennessee in the South. A t the same time, Ohio, Ill­inois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Mississippi have made declarations which show that a hard-money plat­form and a hard-money candidate at Cincinnati would draw the full Re­publican vote in those States. Indeed, in Ohio, the most important o f the last named group, the recent action o f the Democrats has done precisely what; similar Democratic action did last fall— it has forced the Ohio Re­publicans into the front rank of theadvocates of resumption.

These facts, are encouraging to ■every friend of the national credit and honor. They give good reasons for hope that the National Republican Convention will take an unmistakable stand in favor of specie resumption at the earliest practicable moment. There should be no backward step in this matter. The National Convon-

• tion of 1876 should stand by its e of 1872, and the subsequent a tion of the Republican party in

Congress to Carry out that •• pledge. We can fight and -win the battle upon the platform of specie resumption and administrative reform; and to win such a battle will of itself do more than any other one thing to make re­sumption practicable.—Detroit Tri­bune.

A Printer’s Dream.A printer sat in his office chair, bis

boots were matched and his coat threadbear, his face lookedweary and wofiriy?ith care, while sadly thinking of business debt, old Mor­pheus slowly around him crept, and. before he knew it be soundly slept; and, sleeping he dreamed that he was dead, from trouble and.toil his spirit had fled, and that not even a. cow bell tolled,: for tlie peaceful rest of his. cow hide sole. As he-wandered among; 'tho shades; 'that smoke and;; scorch in lower Hades, lie shortly ' observed an iron "door, that creakingly swung on hinges ajar, .but' the "entrance was, closed by. a "red hot liar, and. Satan himself;stoo.d peeping out, and.watch­ing for 'travelers thereabout, and .thus to the.' passihg 'printer spoke, and with

growling voice the echoes * woke: “ Come in, my dear, it shall' cost you nothing and never fear; this is the place where; I "cook ; the ones, who never pay their subscription sums, for though in life they may escape, they will fiud in death, it is too late; I will show the place where I melt them thin, with red-hot chains and scraps of tin, and also where I comb their heads with broken glass and melted lead,, and if of refreshments they only, think, there’ s boiling water, for them to drink; there’s the red-hot. grindstone to grind down the nose, and red-hot rings to wear on his toes, and *if they mention they don't like fire, I ’ll sew up their mouths with a red-hot wire; and then, dear sir, you should see them squirm while I roll them over and cook to a turn.” With .these last words the printer awoke, and thought it all a practical joke ; but still at times so real did it seem, that he cannot believe it was all a dream ; and often he thinks, with a chuckle and grin, of those who save their tie, and never pay the printer,

The second day there were thirty- three entries.

May 29,1876.E d. R ecord :— It is not often I pay

any attention, to the twaddle of “ Mother Gossip,” but when I hear such base and malicious representa­tions as is going the rounds about the doctors of this place, I think it my duty to make a plain statement of facte, that all may judge for them­selves.

A man of this town has a boy whose arm was injured at the elbow joint, some weeks ago, while playing at school, and was neglected until a few days ago, when he found his boy’s arm straight, or nearly so, and stiff. Then he took his hoy to Dr. Wendt,, of this town, for surgical advice and surgical treatment. The doctor told him if ho would pay his old bill and give him ten dollars, or give him se­curity for it he would fix the arm. He did not. feel disposed: to do4so? and brought his boy to me, and I told him I must have my pay for I could not work for nothing, as the* said gentle­man has owed me. for over two years, and I cannot get.it, and I think; he pays enough for whisky every month, that* he might .settle a Bmall doctor bill. But as lie could notr get his boy’s arm “ broke over” for nothing, by advice of hi3 friends, (?) he took him to a doctor at Buchanan, and. it is now well circulated .that tho Galien doctors were not surgeons 'cnou'gh to operate on the artn. Now? I would not say a word against; any- ruember- of the medical profession, .but ;I think'

, the surgery done here will compare favorably with the' surgery . done in: Buchanan. We think if we dotlive in the'back woods o f Galien, * that we have, had as good advantages to learn, a little surgery, and have improved them as faithfully as the most of doc­tors. Our hairs may hot be quite so gray, our experiences* not..quite:so, ex­tensive, (?) yet _we . think *vwe could give a little chloroform, and reduce a dislocation, or apply, a few splints to a simple fracture; but'do not propose to do so -for a drunken dead beat? With all due.respect for the doctors.of Buchanan,'!-am respectfully, ;

There, is no pathological;facti more clear* ly ascertained than that the .most formida­ble phases of nervous disease are. directly traceable1 to imperfect digestion.,, Insom­nia, with its train of direful, consequences,, proceeds more frequently, from, weakness of the stomach than from: any other cause. Mere sedatives are powerless to cure nervousness;.- and soon, cease, to palliate, its, symptoms. The true way to strengthen the -nervous system is to invigorate the digestive and assimilative organs, upon whose unobstructed action its., equilibrium is absolutely dependent. The daily use of Hostetter’s Stomach JBilteis will .do more to brace and soothe the- weakened and irritated nerves; and induce sound j, refreshing sleep nature’s grand- catholi- oon— than all the so-called nervinei to be found in the pharmacopoeia or out of'it.

How much of love behind a mother’s smile Shines clearly through !J

The light of Intiuite, unchanging Jove, Forever true,

Forever steadfast, through all good or ill. Until the loving, patient hourt is still.

Which Shall I Take !

Itow much of sin, deceit, and treachery Most black and: vile,

Fnrks, while the voice is soft in kindly speech, Behind n smile 1

Ever the cowards mask, It yet may be "Worn. to conceal some ceaseless agouy.

How much of sadness, grief, and catklcg— Of bitter pain—

"W hat m orta l s ick n ess o f th e a ch in g heart, A n d w eary bra in ,

Is borne, jests; on the lips the while— Borne silently, and hid behind a smile,

If we might wear the cypress openly,And. in full view—

If we might own the cup fate bids us drain, 'Bitter as rue-—

It were for us the easier way; instead The heavt bleeds only, and no tears are shed.l'ercbanco, God only knows, it may. bo best

The ills we; bear W e name not, lest wo make some other heart

Our burden share;But. higher courage than is often, shown,On battle fields, nerves one who bears alone All things that must be borne, and makes no

moan

One little fox is “ By-and-by.” I f you. track him you will come to his hole— never.

Another little fox is “ I can’ t.” You had better set on him an active, plucky little thing, “ I can,” by name. It does wonders.

A third little fox is “ No use in try­ing.” Ho has spoiled more vines and hindered the growth o f more fruit than many a worse-looking enemy,

A fourth little fox is “ I forgot.” H e is very provoking. He is a great cheat. He slips through your fin­gers like time. He is seldom caught up with.

Fifth little fox is “ Don’ t care.” Oh, the mischief: he is done !

Sixth little fox is “ Ho matter.” It does matter whether your life is spoiled by small faults.

There are many little foxes besides these. Some little folks, and older folks, too, are beset; by foxes and gnaws holes in and spoil every sen­tence they utter. Ho sooner do these unhappy mortals begin to speak than up flies the fox “ Good gracious," mangling what they mean to say. Before the listener recovers from his alarm a whole pack o f foxes are upon the speaker: “ You know,” “ I say,” “ Did I ever,” “ Awful,” “ Jolly,

goodness,“ M y,”“ Mercy,” ' “ He “ She says, says “ Ginger,” and “ Pepper, salt,” and vinegar,” and all the other spices for ought I know. It would seem a won der that a shred was left o f these luckless weights. Yet, strange to say, they actually pot their torment­ors, and encourage their coming. Do I hear any around our table ?

I never knew of a live fox being sent through the postoffice, although I have heard o f live frogs, mice, bee­tles, snails, and owls, and rats whether the latter were alive or dead I cannot Say. Still, I suspect that in many innocent-looking letters lie hid the little foxes which answer to the names we have given.— If. T . Meth­odist.

This is often a serious question with the invalid. He finds the market;flooded with proprietary medicines, scores of which are recommended as certain cures for his pe­culiar ailment. He reads the papers, cir cnlars, and almauqcs, and finds each sus­tained by plausible arguments setting forth its virtues anti specific action. The recommendations are as strong for one as tor another. The cures claimed to have been wrought by one are ns wonderful as those claimed to have been wrought, by another. In Ins; perplexity anti doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led to reject all. But it should be borne in mind that this condition of things is one that cannot, be remedied. In a land where oil are free, the good—the truly valuable—must come into competition with the vile and worth­less, and must be brought to public notice by the same instrumentality, which is advertising. In such a case, perhaps the Only absolute proof that a remedy is what, it claims to be; is to try it- The “test of a pudding is the eating of it.” ‘‘Prove all things, hold fast that which is good,” is the apostolic injunction. Thera may, however; be stronger presumptive evi­dence in favor of ono remedy than there is in favor of another, and this should be allowed its due weight, A due- regard to this may save a vast amount of experi­menting and a useless outlay of money. As presumptive evidence in favor of Dr. Pierce’s Family Medicines, the Proprietor

[; desires to: say, that they ate prepared by a new and Scientific process by which the virtues of the crude plants and roots are extracted without the use of a particle ol alcohol. Hot a particle of this destroyer at our race enters into the composition of either his Golden Medical Discovery or Favorite Prescription. This consideration alone ought certainly to rank them high above the vile compounds saturated with alcohol, Jamaica rum, sour beer, or vine­gar, which are everywhere offered for sale. Again, they are o f uniform strength, and their virtues can never be impaired by age. They are also made from fresh herbs and roots, gathered in their appro­priate season, when they are flush with medicinal properties, In support of these claims, the; following testimony is offered:

How Character is Formed.Character is formed by an immense

variety o f minute circumstances, more or less under control o f the individual. Not a day passes without its discipline, whether for good or evil. There is no act, however trivial, but has its train o f consequences. Every action every thought, every feeling contrib­utes to the education o f the temper, the habit3 and understanding, and ex­ercises an inevitable influence upon all the acts o f our future life. Thus character is undergoing constant changes for better or worse,— either being elevated on the one hand or de­graded on the other. The best sort o f character cannot be formed -without effort. There needs the exercise of constant self-watchfulness, self-disci­pline, and self-control. There may bo much stumbling, faltering and tem­porary defeat; difficulties and tempt­ations manifold to be battled with and Overcome, but i f the spirit ho strong and the heart be upright no one need despair o f ultimate success. The very effort to advance— to arrive at a higher standard o f character than we have reached— is inspiring and invig­orating ; and even though we may fall short o f it, wo cannot fail to be im­proved by every honest effort made in an upward direction. With the light of great examples to guide mankind, one is not only justified, hut bound in­duty to aim at reaching the highest standard o f character; not to become the richest in means, but in spirit; not the greatest in worldly position, but in true honor; not the moat in­tellectual, but the most virtuous; not the most powerful and influential, but the most truthful, upright and honest.

I gWas riding across t ie State of New Jersey on t ie old Camden and Amboy railroad. Just before: the. eastern ’ terminus we were detained some minutes on a part o f tbe route where the land is very sterile. I had no friend with me. Most o f the pass­engers seemed to be without compan­ions. Yarious remarks were made as i f for the ears o f all.- A t length one gentleman, looking on the white sands,, said, “ How is this land like self-righteousness V’ some one replied, “ Because the more o f it one has the. poorer he is.” I thought the con­undrum good and the answer excel­lent. The more self-righteousness one has the poorer he*is. The more men sin the blinder they are. The farther a man goes into a dark cave the more dim are his perceptions. A man had his leg terrible injured. Still the surgeon hoped to save it. He dressed it with care. He visited, him often.. The poor sufferer was in great pain, which; rather increased for several days:' One morning it seemed as i f he would die of the pain. In the evening the surgeon called again. The sick man said, he felt better.. His pain was gone.. The physician touched the wounded limb and asked i f it gave him pain. The. answer Yyas, “ No J.” He pressed it,, and received the: same answer. Mor­tification had; fairly set in. The. man was dead in a few hours; Like nat­ural death, so does spiritual death destroy sensibility; — Oorres. Chris­tian Intelligences. ‘ ' - . '

M A I M R E H B W B R

Every year increases idle populari­ty of this valuable Hair Preparation; which is clue to merit alone. W o can assure our old patrons that it is kept fully up to its high standard; ancl. it is the only reliable and perfect­ed pfeparatibil for restoring Guay oe Haded Hair to its youthful color, making it soft, lustrous, and sillceti. The scalp, by its use, becomes -white and clean. Xt removes all eruptions and dandi-uflj and, by its tonic prop­erties, prevents tbe hair from filling out, as it stimulates and nourishes the hair-glands. By its use, the hair grows thicker and stronger. In baldness, it restores the caqjillary glands to their normal vigor, and will create a new growth, except in extreme old age. It is the most eco­nomical H air D ressing ever used, as it requires fewer applications, and gives the hair a splendid, glossy appearance. A . A . Hayes, M.D., State Assayer o f Massachusetts, says, “ The constituents are pure, and care- fiilly selected for excellent quality; and I consider it the Best P repa- ratiox for its intended purposes.”Sold by all D ruggists, and D ealers in Medicines,

“ Now, children, any of yon who desire can ask me questions ”

No one result'd to think ,-;f -any ex c< pt a freckled fisce hoy ah« ut four­teen years old. fie raised bin hands and the teacher said :

N ot at H ome.— An old negro named Ike, not very remarkable but for his p;< ty, was m the habit of pray­ing every night in his cabin and dos­ing his devotions with a request “ that the Lord would send His holy angel down and carry him home - to friary." His young master, not believing Ike intelligently sincere in his petition, put on a dough face, and wrapping himself up in a sheet, knocked at Ike’s door just as he had finished bis prayers.

“ Whatisdat?”“ The angel of the Lord, cotno to

take old Ike home to glory,” was the reply.

“ Who ?" says Ike.“ The angel of the Lord, come to

take old Ike home to glory,” was again the answer.

“ Why, rnaBsa,” says Ike, “ dat dar darkey ain’t been here for more’ n three weeks.”

jfsgp-A neighbor who believes in self-improvement,, suggested to his wife recently that they should argue Some question frankly and freely ev­ery evening, and try to learn more of each other. The question for the first night happened to be, whether a woman could be expected to get along without a spring hat, and he took t he affirmative. When last seen he had climbed up into the hay loft and was pulling the ladder up after him.

P a i d h i s P a r e .— It was a mean man who got on the North Side (Chi­cago) car and tendered the conductor- four cents for a fare. Not wishing to- stop the car to eject the fellow, the honest and generous fellow made up his mind to take it, aud drawing his punch to operate in “ the pi eseuce o f the passenjare” was astonished to hear him exclaim in exert d tones, “ Hold on, dorit shoot; here’s the other cent.”

t]@=Much has been said about the goaheadativeaess o f the Western peo­ple, hut there is many a man in the region o f Chicago who has been known to stop short in the midst of an im­portant job just to watch an Illinois girl trying to climb a hay-stack,-— Brooklyn Argus.

jgg§“ A young lady when invited to partake of the padding, replied, “ No, many thanks, my dear madame. By no manner of means. I have a! wady iddulged the clamorous calls of a crav­ing appetite until the manifest sente of an internal fullness admonishes my stay; my deficiency is entirely and satisfactorily satisfied.’ ’

A woman found a house that pleased her, bud the back yard didn’t give satisfaction. The fence dinn’ t contain a single knot hole, and she said she wasn’t going to break her neck by climbing on top of an old bar­rel to see what was going on in the next yard.
