AN INCIDENT.

We waited rather impatiently for the
southern mail on Friday; but at length it
arrived. We cast a hasty glance over the
New York papers-saw that all was right
tho locofocos, to be sure, had again
carried the city, as every body supposed
they would, but by majority so much
reduced from last fall as to show that the
good work of reform was progressing in
city, as we'll as country. Thcreupon,
swallowing hasty dinner, and washing
it down with glass of hard cider, we
strobe our poncy and started for the coun-
try, to make arrangements about the tim
Der for the log cabin. We found all right
with the farmers--their cellars full ofcider,
and themselves filled with enthusiasm for
Harrison. Having completed our ar
engagements, we were vending our way
leisurcly home, when we reached the cas-
tern heights just in time to feast our eyes
upon one of those gorgeous sunset scenes
which distinguish the shores of Lake
Champlain. As we cast our eye along
the bold and rugged outlines of northern
New York, we could not help cxulting a
little in the reflection that those mountains
and vallies were studded with log cabins,
and wings. There was Franklin County,
with her six hundred majority; Clinton,
with her tory majority of five hundred

good for thousand; Washington two
thousand, and so to Erie and the ocean;
and so also in the City which gave Gen,
Jackson eight thousand majority, locofo-
coism had dwindlod down last fall to cigh-
teen hundred, and even this insignificant
majority had been reduced some two OF
three hundred by the election which had

THE HOPES OF THE WICKED
PERISH.


Last year the Wings had but eight ma
iority in the legislature of Rhode Island;
they failed to elect their Governor, and
had only 300 majority for the Congress
ticket. This result was claimed by the
Loco Focos, and with some propricty, as
a cheering indication, and the Albany
Argus, after giving 1ourishing account
ofthc details, wound up an article with
the following glowing strain of prophetic
cloqucncc:
A great triumph has 1ccn gained, as it is, and
the violent storm of Wednesday alone prevented
us from achieving victory still more plorious.-
reference TO the returns will show a handsome
democratic comparative gam in many of the
towns; and yet in all the large country towns,
where orr main strength lies, a large number of
our voters were kept from the polls by the inccm-
cncy of the weather. To Our opponents, such a
circumstance makes but little difference, as will
| be seen by their vote, their main strength Icing
| concentrated in the city, the large compac, towns
| and manufacturing villages. We fully believe,
however, that we must have second trial. Give
us then but fair day, and the democratic spirit
| now aroused, will drive the enemy from its en-
! trenchmcnts, and dl,arm HIM of his powcr.-dU.
Argus, April 1889.
Well, now they have had a second tri-
al, a " fair day." and the the people have
turned out from "all the large country
towns" but sad to say, they have voted
the whir ticket! Instead of disarmino
the enemy, the locolocos have themselves
been "driven from their entertainments

goons. Instead of three hundred, we
have now thirteen hundred majority for
governor; majority of twenty-five in
the House, and not solitary locofoco left

A SHORT DIALOGUE.

Whig.-What will you take for your
manufacturing stock?
Locofoco.-Fifty cents on tho dollar.
TVhig.-I will agree to take your stock
at that, if Harrison is elected President,
on condition that you shall take mine at
forty cents on the dollar, if Van Buren, is
reelected. VIII you do it!
LocToco.-No.
This is no fancy sketch, but actually
occurred between two individuals in this
place, both of whom own stock in the
same establishmcnt-both Of whom are
intelligent slrewd men, and possessed of
ample means to buy the stock in question
at fifty, or even an hundred cents on the
dollar. And this is but fair indication
of the practical difference between achis
policy-which seeks to sustain and pro-
mote the idustry of the country-to give
to labor its ustroward; and that anlagonis
principle, Locotocoism, which wars upor
the Institutions Of the country, denies tht
policy and the power to protect, unscttle'
the established policy of the government
and now seeks to bring down the wage
oflabor to the pauper standard of Europe

Science for Observation-Disclosures.
Mr.. Colman-The next science we
shall introduce as claiming the investiga-
ton of farmers, is that of Ornithologv, OF
the science Of birds and surely, since we
have the assurance that He who guides
the planets in their courses-who causes
the outgoings of the morning and the even.
Ing to rejoice-who, indeed 'upholds, sup
ports and governs all CREATION who gave
goodly wings to the peacock, 'hears the
young ravens when they cry and notices
the falling sparrow,-it cannot by any
natural, moral, or theological pretence, be
inconsistent for US who were created in
our Makers image and endowed with the
noble faculties which we Justly claim, to
seek kind mountaineering with any of
his works, especially part of his crea-
ton which contributes so much to the va

After all, the crow is not so much to
blame for the invasions he makes unon
the farmers premises. The rich feas,s
