Boat Song.
Ho! - brave little boat.
In the harbor afloat,
Spread out your white wings to the sunshiny
weather!
The wind we love best
Blows out of the west.
We'll sail o'er the bony blue water toselher-
Like jewels of light,
The spray. flashes bright;
The waves to the sweet summer breezes are
calling.
Glide on till the day
Dies softly awayr
And fold your white wings when the twilight ,
is falling. _

ROBIN HARDY.
BY HELLER FORREST GRAVES.
Miss Elkington‘ waspracticlng, a showy
sonata at the piano forte, in a ‘ neglfgs of-pale
blue bunting, sprinkled all over with bows of
blue ribbon, while her mother was stirring
up starch, rinsing out‘ the fine clothes, and
otherwise assisting the washerwoman in the
kitchen below.
Somebody must help Bridget, it stood to
reason, for the wash was large, and the fami-
ly income small, but Miss Ethel never
thought of prefiefing her services of a Mon-
day.
» She had been sent to a boarding-school,
taught French and embroidery, and imbued
with a taste for Jean lngelow’s poetry—all of
which accomplishments are hardly useful in
a large family. ..
“But Ethel is pretty," Mrs. Elkington re-
marked, with a sigh. “I dare say she’ll mar-
ry well, one of these days? I should like her
to be brought up like a lady. I_ was terribly
mortified when sister Keturah put her daugh-
- far to the millinery trade. Patty was a pretty
girl, too,,although her style is quite'dififerent
from Ethel’s; it's a shame to shut her in be-
hind a counter.”
So Mrs. Elkington went on toiling, econo-
mizing, denying herself almost the necessi-
ties .of life, in order that Ethel might the
more completely resembles human butterfly.
Miss Ethel calmly accepted the sacrifice as
if it were a matter of course. After this
manner is selfishness fostered in families as
if it were a virtue instead of a vice.
Ethel Elkington wasin the midst of a mus-
ical skirmish of flats and sharps, when there
came a knock at the door, and a tall, brown-
faced man stood there, with a leather valise
in one hand and an eccentric looking walking
stick in the other.
“Does Mrs. Eliab Elkington live here 2”
said he.
“That’s ma 1" said the fair musician giving
ghe piano an instant of reprieve. “But she's
particularly engaged," with a suspicious
glance at the valise, “and we don’t want any
new publications, nor fiuting irons,nor patent
soaps.” . _
“Neither do I,” said the stranger brusque
ly. “I have called on special business.” _
"Mamma can't see you," said Miss Elk-
ington, still doubtfuily. “Won’t I' do as
well I’" . -
“You remember your cousin,Robin Hardy?"
said the tall stranger, after a moment's
pause.
“Hardy—Hardy—Bobin Hardy?" repeated
Ethel. “Oh yes I a little snub-nosed, :mis-
chievous fellow, that was always ,drawing
charcoal pictures on the inside of the barn-
door, and filling the chicken-house with pui-
leys and leather-bands, and all sorts of non-
sense. He ran away, one day. after he had
., blown the com-crib all to pieces by some.
chemical explosion or other, and we’ve‘not
heard of-him since."
“Exactly," said the tall man. “I don’t re—
call the precise circumstance, but it sounds
very like Hardy. You ~know he went to
Idaho Territory ?"
“No I” said Ethel impatiently. “Didn’t I
tell you we’ve never heard of him since. ”
“He has been very sick, and—
“Oh, I see,” interrupted Ethel, “he's dead;
and you are trying to break it to me as gently
as possible ; but you needn’t take the trouble,
sir, as none of us care a straw whether Robin
Hardy livedlor died. He was always a good
for-nothing, shiftless fellow; and if you want
to get the money for funeral expenses out of
us, pa's a lawyer, and he’ll contest it to the
last inc .f’ . g g
“Excuse me,” said thejstranger, courteous-
ly, “but I had no intention of that sort. I
merely intended to mention that he had lat-
terly made a great deal of money out of some
successful speculation in Idaho, and that I
presumed his relatives would like to benefit
by his change of circumstances."
At this, Miss Eikington became all instinct
with animation and interest.
"Certainly," said she; “of course. That
would be only right and proper. The only
heirs are our family, and Aunt Keturah's
down the street. Pa will be at home next
week, if you wish to see him about it. He's
in Philadelphia now, on court business."
“Thanks l” said the stranger. “I will call
again. In the meantime, would you be so
very good as to giveme a glass of water '1’"
“Ther‘e’sa wells little way down the road,’
said Miss Elkington, “with a cocoanut shel
chained to the curb. You can get a drink of
water there 1"
And she resumed her desperate encounter
with the accidentals of the showy sonata.
“Much she cares whether poor Robin Har-
dy is alive or dead, said the stranger to him-
self,with a melcancholy shrug of his shoulders
as he walked away. “He was , a and dog, I
know, but there used to be some good about
him. And this Mrs. Eikington, the girl’s
mother, was his mother’s own sister."
He stopped at the wayside well, drank a
deep, cool draught. from the cocoanut-shell.
and then walked on towhere the chimney of
Mrs. Keturah Kent’s cottage peeped through
a waving mass of apple-boughs. ‘
Mrs. Kentwas knitting at the door; Patty
was seated behind the counter of the unpre—
tentious little millinery store trimming a
child’s hat with innumerable bows of interest-
ing ribbon.
For they had put a neat bow window where
the parlor easements had been, and fitted up
the front room for what black-eyed Patty
called "business.”
And the girl was quick with the needle and
tasteful with the eye and her earnings had
hired a stout Welsh woman to do the rough
work of the house, while Mrs. Kent sat and
enjoyed herself under. the green awning of
the apple boughs. ,
“Mamma shall not drudge herself to
death," said Patty, “while I am able to work
for her."
Patty Kent was dark eyed and piquant,
with a warm olive skin,lips like a ripe cherry,
and jet black hair, full of perplexed lights,
like the petal of a black pansy. ‘
She looked up from her work as a strange
footstep echoed on the road.
' “I wonder who that can be?" said Patty,
suspending the quick glitter of her needle.
“He’s coming here." said Mrs. Kent.
“At all events,” said Patty, with a laugh,
“he can’t be a customer.”
But sherrose‘uprlla'id aside her work, and
”asked him politely into the house.
‘ “I'have called; to see Mrs. KeturahKent,"
said he, “about anephew of hers— one Robin
Hardy—who went to Idaho ten years ago. "
“Poor Bob I interposed Mrs. Kent wiping
her spectacle glasses; “he ran away, and
Pattyand I were sorry enough—for he was a
,. good, well-meaning lad, only a bit head—
strong."
Patty’s liquid black eyes brimmed over
withjears.
“He’s dead," said she, softly. “We heard
it, a month ago, from some one who had
lived in the same part of the country. Poor
Bob! we liked him, mother and I. And
mother always said Bob would make his way
in the world yet. "
“I was with him in his last sickness," said
the stranger. “I did what I could for him,
but—”
“God bless you for thatl” said Mrs. Kent,
earnestly. “We’re not rich, Patty and I, but
if there are any bills unpaid, or any way of
recompensiug you, sir.for your trouble, we’re
ready to help according to our poor ability—
aren’t we. Patty ?"
“Mother," said Patty, gently, “the gentle-
man is very pale and tired. If you were to
get him a cup of tea—” '
“I’ll do it, and thankful for the chance,"
said Mrs. Kent, bustling to her feet. “Poor
Bob—poor, warm-hearted, headlong Bob I
My sister Mary’s only child! To think that
he should have died, away in that desolate
country, and never a relation to close his
eyes l”
“You are perhaps unaware that he had
,made a large fortune of latter years," added
the tall man, “of which you would beamong
the natural heirs.” .
“Poor Bob I" said Mrs. Kent, “I'd a goo
deal rather he should have lived to enjoy it
himself."
“Would you ?" said the stranger, starting
up. “Then you shall have your wish. Aunt
Keturah. Patty,is it possible you don’t know
me—iittle Bob, grown into a long—legged,
swarthy-skinned miner?”
Patty uttered a little shriek; Mrs. Kent
dropped her spectacles, and ran to clasp Bob
in her arms.
“God bless you,my laddie 1” said she. “I’ve
had a sore heart for your sake this many a
long day.” '
And when they all sat down to tea behind
the emerald shadows of the hop vines, Robin
Hardy told his adventures—how he had buf-
feted with good fortune and evil, until finally
he had struck a vein of luck that had made a
richman of him.
“And when I had that long,dreary sickness
six months ago," said be, “home and home
faces came into my mind, and I resolved I'd
'come back east again. And when I saw that
Ethel Elkington didn't know me, I thought
I’d just see how Robin Hardy's credit stood
among his relations."
So Robin made his home with his Aunt
Keturah and marrier black-eyed Patty, to
Miss Elkington’s infinite chagrin.
“It was very shabby of Robin Hardy to let
me suppose he was dead,” she said. “To be
*sure he never said so in direct words, but all-
the same he led me to suppose it i”
“Yes,” said Mrs. Elkington, rather bitterly,
“and Patty Kent, who kept the millinery
shop, is the one to marry rich, after all I”
Mrs. Elkington began to think that pessi-
bly she had been mistaken after all, in the
“system" she had followed in Ethel’s educa-
tion.
Fair Judgment.
General Garfield was never a jobber in
politics: Mr. Bayard was not a traitor during
the war. Is it any reason for decrying either
of them for fair play, because one is nomina-
ted for the Presidency, and the other seemed
likely to‘be ? No man of either party who
knows General Garfield—no man, from
Jerry Black up‘or down, connectedeith the
Credit Mobilier investigation,—_-has ever ven-
tured a suspicion that he is a dishonest man,
or that he did anything in that affair not on—
tirely reconcilable with the strict sense of
integrity that has marked the entire course.
of his life. Throughout a long and active
csreer General Garfield has been conspicuous
for probity, for purityof life in all its rela-
tions, and for a transparent sincerity and
conscientiousness of character that has won
the admiration and even the affection of his
political opponents. With ample opportuni-
ties to enrich himself, he remains relatively a
poor man. A hard political fighter, he has
made no enemies. The clamor of a partisan
press can never shake the confidence of the
people in such a man. They believe, with
him, in the laws of average, and will be glad
if the election shall give them a President
who is on the whole as worthy of the place
as is he.—Golden Rule.
Does the Eucalyptus prevent
Fever?
In the last number of Nature some very
positive statements are made as to the value
of the Eucalyptus. or blue gum tree of Tas-
mania, in destrOying fevers in marshy dis-
tricts. The testimony in support of this
power. it says, is most convincing. In
marshy districts near Eucalyptus forests
fever seems to be unknown, and in parts of
Corsica and Algeria where the tree has been
planted for the sake of its reputed virtues,
endemic fevers have been stamped out. M.
Gimbert, in a report to the French Academy,
_instanced the case of a farm situated in a
pestilential district about twenty miles from
Algiers, where by plantings number of trees
the character of the atmosphere was entirely
changed. Similar testimony comes from
Holland, the South of France, Italy, Cali-
fornia, and many other parts of the world,
as to the febrifugal attributes of this tree.
In no case is the evidence more convincing
than in tthat of Algeria, as related by Dr.
Santra, and, quite recently by Consul Play—
fair. Large tracts of land have been trans.
formed by the agency of the “fever-destroy-
ing tree," as it has come to be called, and
wherever it is cultivated fevers are found to
decrease in frequency and intensity. Fewer
districts in Europe have a more evil reputa-
tion than the Campagna as a veritable hot
bed of pestilential fever, and people who
know the country round Rome may remem-
ber the monastery at Trc Fontane on the
spot, as tradition says, St. Paul met his
death. Life in this-monastery meant death
to the monks, but since the Eucalyptus has
been planted in the cloisters fever has
disappeared and the place has become habit--
able. »
The New York Herald kindly takes the
Democracy in hand and points out the utter
folly of their longer delaying to face the real
issues of the campaign. It warns them that
a failure to comprehend the strength of the
Republican array which must be met and
vanquished before a Democratic president
can reach the White House is sure to prove
disastrous, and adds: “The simple truth is
that in order to win the Democrats need to
cease fuddling their brains with gas and
frothassoon as possible and apply them-
selves to prove to the country that they are
fit to win and capable of governing the
United States. The Republicans have no
need of showing capacity for government.
They have demonstrated it during twenty
years. Their need is only to prove fitness
to retain power, not capacity to wield it.
But the Democrats'have a double burden of
proofs to sustain, and no time to spare, and
they must prepare for some costly sacrifices
in the demonstration.”

A Hardsheil Baptist preacher was on an
Alabama steamer, in the, old days of racing.
The captain seeing a rival boat a mile ahead
began to curse and order tar, pine knots,
bacon, etc,, to be thrown in, to kindle the
fire as hot as possible; and as the steam get
higher and higher,: (thevfatalistic preacher
edged his way farther'back on deck. 'Thc
jolly captain, seeinathis. tapped him on the
shoulder and said: “Hallo, Brother Hi I
thought you was one .of them fellers that
believes that what is to happen will happen.”
“So I do," said the preacher; “but I’d like
to be as near the stern as possible when it
does happen."
The Dog Fish.
Everywhere there was a most execrable
character of the dogfish. ' His looks have
nothing to say in his favor. This pest of the
whole coast is perhaps two feet long, with a
weight of from three to five pounds,a rough,
leathery skin, no scales, a long, pointed
snout,.and mouth underneath like a shark’s,
so that he'turns upon his back to bite. It is
not simply that he chases other species—for
all the finny tribes have theinanimosities and
victims—but he is omnipresent, his skin ex-
coriates the hands if it be touched, he finds
means to drive deep in and draw blood with
a cruel thorn which is said to be poisonous.
and he is good for nothing himself. Such,
at least, is the contemporaneous estimate of
his value; “but those eccentric ancestors of
ours,” said, Middleton, "must take it upon
themselves to think otherwise. It is not
strange they should have difiered from us in
their ideas of religion, government and polit-
ical economy when we find them having such
unaccountable stomachs as this ;" and be
quoted to incredulous ears around him an
early voyager who set down in his journal
that with sassafras he had cured a surfeit of
one of his men, which was brought on by
“eating the bellies of dogfish.a very delicious
meat."
The clear bottom about the fish-house and
wharf, wherever he went, was paved with
heads and small waste portions of the others,
to be sluiced out by the tides; but the dog-
fish lay there at full length, with an ugly,
foiled-desperado air in death ; and he felt
his foot, as it were, above an errant bully
and rascal,“ he looked down, and pronounc-
'ed a mental sic semper tyrannis over him.
The water on those coasts were excessively
cold, so that it was rare that the veteran fish-
ermen could swim. One day, in a cruise in
a specially chartered jigger, well out to sea
toward Mount Desert Rock, though he knew
the temperature of the water well, he would
have jumped overboard for the refreshment
of a hasty dip in it, but he was deterred, not
so much by the usual bugbear of sharks as
that of these same dogfish again. He was
told a startling episode of tyre men who had
gone down to Mutinic Rock—a satellite of
Matinicus—in the the autumn for» the popu
lar diversion among the islanders of shooting
wild fowl. Shortly after they landed, their
dory went adrift, and they saw it a short
distance off. ‘
“Stay," said one of them, throwing down
his gun; “I will swim out and bring it back.”
He had gone but twenty feet from the shore
when he was seen to struggle violently, and
throw up his hands with a wild, despairing
cry : “My God I” he said, “the (10th 1 Shoot
me, and don't let me sufier.”
But they devoured him piecemeal, as the
story went, and his companion could only
look on in helpless horror at his fate.-—W. H.

Woman's Powers—“Oh dear," sighed a
young woman after exploring the festoons
and furbelows of her new spring suit with a
desperate air for some time, “I do wish
dressmakers would put in a pocket. Or I
wish I was a man. Bob, how many pockets
have you got ?” Brother Bob after some sec-
onds of profound arithmetical efifort answer-
ed with deliberation, tinged with sadnessl:
“well, let us see, four and three is seven and
four is eleven, but I mean to have another
put in my vest right away, and an inside one
on both sides of my cost would be handy.
Father carries things sometimes in his hat,
but I can generally get along with about a
dozen pockets.” We submit that pockets are
a privilege which must be opened to the sex.
The inconveniences of feminine attire for
business purposes are sufiiciently onerous
without making . it barren of pockets.
Trimming is most all pockets now-a-days,
except that they seem to be put on wrong
side out. Even the ladies’ purse has‘to be
carried in the hand, or is exposed in a shal-
low outside bag with 'mouth gaping to the
passer-by. We can scarcely recall a woman’s
right of which the sex is in more dire need
than the right to pockets. It is a concession
which will not be gained perhaps till wrung
from dressmakers by a campaign at the bal-
lot box. But it will have to come. When
it was once decided to teach women the
alphabet, all other exclusive immunities of
manhood were thrown open to her, and in
due time pockets right side out and receptive
cles of the current impediments of immortal
souls shall be devised both to improve and
adorn the attire of womanhood. What
would man be without pockets f—Sprt’nyfiebf

The most romantic tale of this wedding
season comes fromPoilocksvilie, N. C. Two
young farmers—Moses Miller and Alexander
Bibb—were courting the same damsel with
the euphonious name of Leonora Lloyd. She
was impartial in her favors and each believed
himself to be the accepted lover. They met
on Monday morning at the court house, both
seeking for a license to marry the fair Leon-
ora. ’They had a consultation and' came to
the sensible conclusion to decide their respec.
tive claims by a go-as-you-please walking
match from the court house to the Lloyd
mansion, a distance of about a mile. Bibb,
thinking to make short cut, took to the fields,
while Miller held to the main road. When
Bibb reached the lane leading to the house,
he found Miller some eight minutes nearer
the goal. He had made a desperate struggle,
and although he was beaten, he kept on to
the house, and there,overcome with exhaust-
ion and his great feat, fainted at Leonora’s
little feet. And then the pitying Leonora
said she would not be held by the agreement
of the men, that she loved her Bibb the
most and would be his alone. And Miller
walked off—perhaps to wait for a divorce.

Anvrcn r0 Youxo Mam—The Hon.
William E. Dodge, in his recent lecture on
“Old New York," or New York as it was
fifty years ago, when he was a young man of
twenty—five years, gave the following finan—
cial advice to young men: .
“All young men should aim to save some-
thing, even at the expense of a limited ward-
robe and'many little things they think neces-
sary. If there were none but young men
here, I would say, that from the first year
when I entered a store, with a salary of fifty
dollars, to my last year, when, asa salesman,
I received, for those days, very large pay, I
never failed to save a part; and when I
started in business, those savings and my
experience were all my capital."
The advice here given, illustrated by such
an example, is worth its Weight in gold to
any one who practices upon it. Almost
every one who in the working condition can
make his expenses less than his income. If
the latter be small, he can so cut down the
former as to leave a small surplus each year.
If, on the other hand, his income be large,
he can make a larger saving, without any
meanness or sacrifice of decent appearances.
What he thus saves by not expending it, is
his capital; _and if he saves something each
year his capital incrmes. This course, pur—
sued for thirty or forty years, will make any
man moderately rich, and some men very
rich, unless the mishaps of business shall
sweep away the accumulation.

Nothing will please a girl so much as the'
information that a rival, who is dying to rob
her of her best fellow, has got aplmpie com-
ing on her nose.
“I think," said an exasperated old deacon,
as he slowly elevated himself from the pave-
ment to a perpendicular, “that a full- grown
man who throws an orange peel on the side—
walk is no Christian.” “Well,” said a by-
stander, “what do you think of an orange
peel that throws a full grown man on the
sidewalk ?"
Sayings about Cats.
For “living a cat or dog life" the French
say “To love cats and dogs ;” and this leads.
us to observe that many of the sayings which
are current in one language appear in others
more or less modified. Thus, we say “to
buy,a pig in a poke ;” but in France, Flan-
ders, and elsewhere they say “to buy a cat
in a bag." .
A scalded cat'dreads’ cold water, just as
much as a burnt child dreads the fire; and'
though a scalded cat does not go back to the
kitchen. the Spanish idea isgood. “One eye
on the pot, and the other on the cat." The
Italian means cat when he is in earnest, does
not mean cat when he is in jest, and plays
the dead out when he dissimulates. He calls
the cut when he speaks plainly; he sets
about skinning the cat, when he undertakes
a hard task; and when he sees no one he
finds neither cat nor dog. That evildoers
,are caught at last, he shows by saying that
the cat goes so often to. the bacon that she
leaves her claws there. He goes to see the.
cat drowned when he lets himself be imposed
on, and he cheats another when he gets him
to go and see him fish along with the cat.
Though every cat would like a bell, the eat
of Messina scratched out his own eyes in
order not to see the rats. —.
The Spaniard, like the Italian, plays the
cat When he dissimulates, but it is not a dead
one. The Spaniard says the cat would be a
good friend if he did not scratch, and he
thinks a cat that mews is not a good mouser.
An Italian says one had better be the head
of a out than the tail of a lion ; a wary Ger-
man goes like a cat round hot broth, and be-
lieves it too late to drive the cat away when
the cheese is eaten. Many believe that a
good cat often loses a mouse, that no cat is
too small to scratch, and that .you cannot
keep away the cat when it has tasted cream.
The Russian thinks that play for cats mean
tears for mice; the Arab says that when the
cats and mice are on good terms the provi—-.
sions suffer; the Turk tells us that two cats
can hold their own against one lion. Another
Turkish saying is, it is fast to-day, as the cat
said when it could not get at the liver.
The Englishman fancies that some people
have as many lives as a cat—~that a cat, in
fact, has nine lives; yet he holds that care
will kill a cat, and that May kittens should
be drowned. He is scarcely alone in think-
ing that the more you stroke a cat’s back the
higher she rises her tail—in other words,that
flattery feels vanity. He lets the cat out of
the bag; but so do others, and they all agree
that it is in the nature of a cat always to fall
on its feet. Only he talks of turning cat in
pan, and of raining cats and dogs, or sees
folks dance like a cat on hot bricks.
The Spaniard says, Has the cat kittened ?
when he sees a place full of lights; and he
asks, Who has to take the cat out of the
water i when something unpleasant has to
be done. That anyone watches as a cat a
mouse, is French as much as English- _ The
”French also say, She is as dainty as a cat; It
is nothing to whip a cat for; their singers
have a cat in the throat when the throat is
not clear; and the phrase “cat music” is not
unknown. If one has a scratched face he
has been playing with cats; and an impossi-
bility is a mouse’s nest in a cat’s ear. That
people should sometimes go like a cat over
hot coals is intelligible enough—The Queen.
General Grant is too busy—and too sensi—
ble—to engage in the business of talking
down the foolish rumors concerning - himself
which the Democratic papers manufacture in
the dull season. But, having occasion to
speak upon political matters, he has quietly
.disposed of perhaps the most absurd story
ever concocted even by a Democratic news-
paper, viz. that he was so angry at rhis'de‘
feat in the Chicago Convention that he
would do’ nothing to aid the election of Gen.
Garfield. The idea was an insult equally to
General Grant’s intelligence and his honor,
and was so remote from possibility that he
has treated it, both by silence and now in
speech, with the~ entire indifierence of the
man who knows that no intelligent person
can believe what is said of him. He says
that he will give Garfield his “hearty sup-
port," and then adds these cordial words;
“There is no reason why any Republican
should not vote for Garfield. I know him to
be a man of talent, thoroughly accomplished
and an upright man. I have nothing against
General Hancock, but Garfield is the man
for the ofice." This ought to show even the
Democratic editors that General Grant stands
where every one else knew long ago that he
stood. It is to be hoped that they are satis—
fied with the results of their enterpriseE—N.

Moso‘s DEAD SEA—The propeller Rock-
et, which will soon be placed on Mono Lake,
will have no trouble about floating, as the
density of the water is remarkable, being
just the reverse of that of Lake Tahoe, in
which the body of a drowned person never
returns to the surface. An exchange says
that for bitterness and promiscuous meanness
the waters of Mono Lake surpass those of
the Dead Sea. They contain so much alkali
that on a windy day the lake is a regular tub
of soapsuds. The writer has seen a wall of
lather five feet high along the whole of that
shore, against which the waves were beating.
Occasionally the wind would take up a bunch
of this lather as big as a bushel basket and
carry it several hundred feet inland. So
buoyant are the waters of the lake that quite
a party of men may navigate them on a raft
_made of four or five dry cotton wood poles.
Out in the lake are islands of rock (lava—like
concretions), through which streams of. wa—
ter boil up. The water of these springs is
like that of the lake, but in one place is a
large spring of fresh water. This is near
the northwest corner of the lake, and at a
point where there is a depth of eight or ten
feet of water. It is a sort of fountain. A
column of fresh water some three feet in
diameter is projected upward with such force
thatitrises to a height of at least two feet
above the general level of the lake in the
. form of a mound or knoll, and makes a rip-
pling noise that can beheard a considerable
distance. But forthe fact that this fountain
has a depth of eight ‘or ten feet of water to
contend against,,it would probably rise to a
considerable height in the sin—San Fran—
cisco Chronicle.

A strong confidence pervades the Connec-
ticut Republicans that they will be able to
give that State to Garfield in November.
There are several facts which goes to prove
that this confidence is not without basis.
Tilden‘s majority in 1876 was only 2,900.
The Democrats hadgthen controlled the State
for two years and had wiped fromthe stat-
ute book the laws protectiugitheballot-box.
This gave them free range to carry out the
Tilden plan of campaign. Now, however,
the situation is considerably changed. The
Republicans have control of the Legislature, '
and almost all the .safeguards against fraud
have been restored. What is better still, the
party is thoroughly united and ready for or-
ganization. _The Republicans of the Nut: . 7

reputation they lost in 1876 of having never
let the State go Democratic in a National
contest since the party was formed.
_H Q..—
The water in Phildelphia is so bad that
the Times of that city says: “Every person
who takésa bath is obliged to take another
to wash the mud off."
Portable gas is sold and delivered in Eng—-
land like milk. People in the country and
towns receive their gas in copper vessels
from the city,.and the German railroads
are all lighted in a similar manner. This
method derives much 'of its popularity from f
the fact that it dispenses with- the meter.
Women’s Headaches.
wisely been devoting some thoughts and
space to the common and very distresssing
fact that a great many English women
suffer from headache. The same trouble
prevails in America, and men, no matter
how selfish they may be, are deeply con—
cerned about it, for a wife with a headache
cannot be companionabie, the best of sweet-
hearts with a headache 'is sure to be unrea-
sonable, while a lady who has neither hus-
band nor other specialrcavalier to engross
her attention can ruin the peace of mind of
every one she meets while she has a headache
of perceptible size. No'amount of masculine
grumbling is likely to; change all this, but
women themselves might change it if they
would comprehend the causes of the malady
and then apply theii' nimble wits to the
work of prevention or cure. The trouble is
that all American women who have head—
aches live indoors, where the best air is
never good and the worst is poison, and they
have none of the e‘xercise-' which saves men
from the popular feminine malady. Were
a strong man to eat breakfast at any ordinary
American table and than sit down at a work-
table or machine, or even moveabout brisk-
ly from one room to another, he would have
a splitting headache before heals, and the,
chatter of his innocerit children would seem
to be the jargon of fiends. The midday
meal would increase his: wretchednes's, and
by dusk he Would be stretched in misery
upon his bed, with ‘on’e hand mopping his
forehead with ice water .yshlle'the other
would threaten with a club or pistol any one
who dared to enter the room or make a noise
outside. There is no reason why women
should not sufier just'e‘s severely for similar
transgressions of physical law._ True, indoor
life is compulsory for. a large portion of
every day, but special'physical exercises in
aweil aired room is within the reach of al-
most every woman and so is abrisk walk
in garments not so tight as to prevent free
respiration. There- is yery little complaint
of headache at summee. resorts, where win-
dows are always open,,an:l games and ex-
cursions continually te’mpt women who do
not value complexion .— more than health.
Girls who ride, row, ant and shoot seldom
have headaches; neitherzdo those unfortu-
nateenough to be comfi'alled to hoe potatoes
or play Maud Mulled‘in hay fields. Le:
women of all social grades remember that the
human machine must have reasonable treat-
ment and be kept at work or play to keep
it from mating; then headaches will be rare
enough to be interesting—Herald.
Hancock’s Quallficatlons.
The Cleveland Herald gives the following
resume of the principles of the Democratic
nominee for President, so collated from its
Democratic exchanges: .
0n the subject of the currency he isa mag-
nificent looking fellow. ' >
On the subject of thetarifi he is a splendid
soldier. "
0n the subject ofxfree trade he wears a
brilliant uniform. ‘
On the subject of giver and harbor im-
provements he makes a grand appearance on
horseback. . _
-0n State rights he appears well in his ep-
aulet's and brass buttons. .
0n civil service reform he has a fine mili—
tar bearing. f ' _
n the ' so-called reform in the adminis-
tration of the government he is a modern
Murat. '
On the Indian question he is the finest look-
ing Indian fighter the country ever produced.
notwithstanding that for every Indian he
killed it cost the Government $4,500,000. .
On the subject of hanging Mrs. Surratt he
hung her in a soldierly manner; but he would
rather nothing he said about it.
On the Southern question he behaved like a
gallant soldier,and made himself popular with
every Kn-kluk, White Ixiner, bulldozer and
ballet-box staffer. _- '
0n the subject of our foreign relations he
wears a splendid mustache.
0n the school question he is a handsome-
iooking man. '
On all other questions of public policy he
has a martial hearing.
The above is very clever, the designs
being to show that General Hancock isa
soldier and. nothing more. This the people
who nominated him knew before, and the
very reason for selecting him probably was
that he had no record on any of the ques-
tions above cited. Any record at all upon
them would have displeased some wing of‘
the party. The immense sum mentioned
as the cost for. every Indian killed must be
either a misprint or an exaggeration
although the enormous‘ com of fighting
Indians has often beenurged as a reason
why we should do them justice. To satisfy
all their just demands to the full would not
cost one tenth so much as it does to goad
them by robbery and injustice into rebel-
lion and then make war upon them. But
"so far from its being a reproach to General
Hancock that each Indian killed by him
cost an immense sum, it tells the other way,
for it implies that he killed very few. Our
Generals who massacred Piegans and Nez
Perces and Modocs, did the work at far less
per head.
General Hancock’s record as a soldier is
honorable to him, and his lack of experi-
ence in states'man‘ship‘ may be no great loss.
Certainly some of our‘ most experienced
statesmen have made gross blunders. But
there is one objection frequently made to
him that we regard as a very serious one.
All know how the White House was scan-'-
dalized by drinking during a former Presi—
dential term, and how nobly it has been
purified duringthe present term, to the ad-
miration of the whole country, and we may
say of the world. Now the question is.
Shall we elect a President who may be re—
lied upon-to continue that admirable purity
or one [who wouldjntroduce again the drink-
ingjhabi ts of society ?
A prominent politician, who is also a
prominent temperance man, said recently
that he had intended to vote for Hancock,
but upon reflection he could not think to un-
do the good temperance work which had been
accomplished in the White House._
This is a matter of National importance,
and hence we with some relutance place it
before the cOuntry.
We do not mean in the least ,to say or
insinuate that General Hancock if intern ,
perate, but fram all we have heard he uses
intoxicating drinks in- the way common:
among multitudes of respectable ofiicers,
politicians and gentlemen in private life;
and that would revolutionize the White
House—N. 1’. Witness.
Pulpit electioneering evokes a craze of op-
position from the English pen. "A church-
men" writes to the London News that'at St.
Michael’s and All Angels? Church, London-
fields, the vicar exhorted his'hearers to at—
tend a parishmectingand elect Certain can—
didates to seats on .theSchool Board. He
protests. warmly against, this innovation...
Another .correspo‘ndent. relates: that at more”
than one of the churches in the district the‘
officiating clergyman read from the. com-
munion table a notice, which, after denounc-
ing thepast policy of the London School
Board, set forth the sdvantsgesto bederiv-
certain candidates. The. ofiertory was del-
voted to defraying the election expensas of
these candidates. These correspondents cer-»
tainly make out a strong case.
. .
An Englishman says that no other people
in the world, sozfar as he knows, can equal
the Arkansians in off hand exaggeration.
“Do you see that spring, over ther,s‘tranger'?”
said one of them to him. He-said he did,
whereupon the settler added; “Well, that’s
an iron spring, that is and it’s so mighty pow-
erful that the farmers'horses about here that
drink the water of itnever have to be, shod.

From the National Republican.
Freedom’s Dower—Hall to Gar—
fiel'd. '
nr asssm Bacon.
It is not glory birth begEtS.
In titled names of fame or story,
Or lineage proud in lauded rank.
That lifts Ohio’s son to glory-
It is not. great ancestral gifts;
It is not names of sovereign sires—
Not all of these combined could make
A statesman by her humble fires.
There is a dower for rich and poor
Won by our sires at Bunker Hill,
A loyal legacy and trust ~
The humblest may aspire to fill.
Each state where waves our starry fiag
May clasp in true fraternal folds
Her sons of toil, her freeborn sires,
And will them all that freedom holds.
Hail we to one whose humble way
By his own will was gemmed with fight,
By whose brave toil, and words and deeds
He came to be our Nation’s right.
Self made because with toil-worn hands
He carved his way—he wrote his name.
The feeblest instruments of fate,
He turned to freedom’s noblest fame I
Hail we to Garfield, chieftain hail!
True, temperate patriot proudly now.
Thy aged mother greets her son,
And kisses tenderly thy brow.
Hail with thy lineage of Liberty!
" Hail, for the Nation owns thy worth;
Rank, fame, possession’s arduous trust,
Have broad significance as earth.
Hail! let Ohio’s famous flag,
Star after star, set on thy brow,
Each one a jewel trust to thee,
Worn sacredly henceforth as now.
Hail, let the Nation's pulses thrill
Her loyal heart responsive best—
When Union boys fall into line,
They conquer, but they ne’er retreat I
Hail, noble statesman, in whose heart
The creed of right has been enshrined,
And Liberty a cenotsph
As high and broad as all mankind!
Each loyal heart a shrine can make,
And honestly write Garfield’s name,
Not as a monarch's, but a man
Who’s worthy of the brightest fame!
The Cincinnati Gazette tells an interesting
and characteristic story of the moral power
of Gen. Garfield over men. It was the
morning after President Lincoln’s assasina-
tion. An enormous crowd had gathered at
the Wall Street Exchange. The wrathof
the workingmen was simply uncomfortable
and revolvers and knives . were in the hands
of thousands of Lincoln’s friends rcadyto
avenge the death of the 'martyred President
without being careful to consider who deserv-
ed penalty. Speeches from Butler and Dicken-
son had done nothing to appease the gather-
ing wrath of the mob. Two men had been
beaten—one lay dead, the other dangerously
wounded-for declaring that Lincoln ought
to have been hung long ago. Some had
made a rude gallows out of scantling with a
looped halter hanging from it. Suddenly
some one raised a shout, “The ‘World I’ The
World! The office of the World I’ ” It was
the signal for a surging movement which a
moment later would have been a terrible
march. Just then a man stepped forward
with a email flag in his hand, and beckoned
to 'the crowd. “Another telegram from
Washington!” And then, in the awful still-
ness of the crisis, taking advantage of the
hesitation of the crowd, a right armwas lift-
ed skyward, and a voice clear and steady,
loud and distinct, spoke out: “Fellow citi-
zens! Clouds and darkness are round about
Him ! His pavilion is dark waters and thick
clouds ofths alcz'eleustz'ce and judgment are the
establishment of His throne ! Mercy and truth
shall go before His face .9 Fellow citizens ! God
reigns; and the government at Washington
still lives !” The effect was tremendous.
The crowd stood riveted to the ground in
awe, gazingat the motionless orator, and
thinking of God'and the security of the
government in that hour. As the boiling
wave subsidies and settles to the sea when
some strong wind beats it down, so the tu-
mult of the people sank and became still.
All took it as a divine omen.
It was a triumph of el'qnence, inspired by
the moment, such as falls to but one man’s
lot, and that but once in a century. The

An old judge of the New York Supreme
Court meeting a friend in a neighboring-vil-

here?" “I’m at work, trying to make an

succeed," said the judge, “for you’ll have no

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says there
are several counties in Missouri in which
republicans are still known as “Yankees,"
and in which “wee uns" and “you nns” are
still the plural pronouns of the first and
second person, respectively.
The advice of all the democratic newspa—
pers to Hancock is “s h-h.” Don't say a
word, don’t write a word. Keep mum, and
we may slip you in. We cannot say anything
about our record. You have no civil record.
