A BRITISH PRopHBcY.-The following,
we think, will be entertaining to the read
ers of the Mirror: il is copied from the Eu
ropean Magazine for November 1884, D.
379:--" North America broken offfrom the
British empire in other words, become in-
dependent, begins 10 be kind of vacuum in
the system ofpolitcs; a remote region, un-
attended by the, European powers. And
if Great Blitain will but punish those re.
volted colonies with a total disregard and
perfect indifference, they will soon grow as
light as chaff in the great scale of power,
and consequence among nations. Even
now, the new states, boasted to be in future
the greatest empire in the world, begin
like wolves, to worry and devour each other
for want of uperlntending, governing
power, TO hold an equal regulating hand
over them all: and most grievously will
they lament the loss oftheir dependence on
Great Britain" ."--.Mirror. = ...t..s-,..y

The editor f'the st. Louis Republican
says, that few days ago, he saw white
man in that city taken up as a vagrant and
publicly sold to the keeper of a livery stable
for the sum of one dollar. This sale took
place under law passed by the MIssour
Legislature of 1885, when both Houses
were composed almost exclusively of Loco
Focos, and it was approved by the leading
Loco Foco, Daniel Dunklin, then Cover
nor of the State. .js fG n
The men who voted for this law in Mis-
souri,, are among those who affect to be
dreadlully shocked because Gen. Harrison,
twenty years ago, voted in the Ohio lie
gislature, to sell under certain circumstan-
ces,, and for limited periods, the services
ofconvlcted criminals.-LouiSvilte Jour.

The GERMANS FOR HARRISON Our
adopted German citizens, who are the best
farmers in the world, and whose farms COM
prise the richest and most fertile parts of
the western states, are coming out unani-

is through his former exertions they now
hold those farms-that when their fathers
emigraied here, none but rich men could
buy the large sections of land; but that
Harrison, the father of the West, by pro-
curing the divisions of these sections, open
ed them to poor but honest ilndustry. Such
is the spirit that both the two fine military
companies of Germans at Chiicothe, the
Guards and Grenaiiers, were appointed
