A REVOLUTION IN IcARIA.-By late num-
Der of the Revue Icarienne we learn that
Mons. CADET has got into trouble with his
community al Nauvoo. He has lately submit
ted series of propositions revising and mod
flying the constitution of the community,
and placing autocratic power in the hands of
the president, who is to be elected once in
four years. A party of malcontents opposed
this movement, and set up secret society
to overthrow M. CADET, in which endeavor
they had not been successful at the last ac-
counts. They called him very bad names.
and compared his action to the coup detat
of Napoleon III. The matter had not been
settled, but CADET was firm and grand ball
was in progress.

The Right Position.


The Mansfield Herald, in repelling certain
assaults upon !" Tom Ford" lieut.. governor
of Ohio, lays down the following judicious
and well-timed position, which cannot be
TOO Frequently repeated nor too well under
stood. 1t is the true republican ground:
1--WE understand rpublicanism to be the
union or fusion of all political parties upon
the common ground of opposition to the ex-
tension of slavery into the territories now
free-or as it is aptly expressed by the Mas
sachusetts republican convention: We re-
quire no conformity Of opinion on other
questions of national or state policy. No
man surrendering or qualifying his opinions
on those subjects. We all recognize the
duty of making the question of freedom par
amount. To secure unity of action here,
we attempt no unity Of opinion elsewhere.
" No man in becoming a republican is re-
Quired TO renounce his former political opin-
ions. If he be tariff man, let him be a
tariff man-it he be free trade man. let
him be free trade man still-if a Nnow
Nothing, let him be Know Nothing still
all that is required to make him an orthodox
republican is, to make the slavery question
paramount to all others, and to be willing
TO unite with all men in restricting the con-
fines of slavery to their present limits.
Tried by the foregoing tests, Capt. Ford
is all right as a republican. 1t is true he is
an American, (nndisguisedly so.) yet he has
made, and continues to make his American
ism subordinate to his republicanisln, and so
long as he maintains this position, we for
one stand by him.
Whenever Capt. Ford shall repudiate
this position and make Americanism para
mount to his republicanism, just so soon
(however unpleasant it may be to do so } we
abandon him. We would politically re-
pudiate father who should prove recreant
in the great contest for freedom now in pro-
ss.'

The carriers address of the Fredonia Censor
contains one verse which we regard as especially
pungent. 1t runs thus:

Like pillars grand, our statesmen old,
Were wont the state to prop
But modern presidents are used

MERCER PoTAToES in the early part of

early settlers Of Mercer CO., Pa. produced
from ed, tbo justly celebrated Mercer pota-
toe, which was afterwards cultivated by a
Mr.. Pearson, in the naighborhood of Darby,
Delaware CO., Pa, whence it spread over the
Union. Thus CiiIky, poor solitary " exile

GEN. HoUsroNs HoUsE.-A correspondent
of the UIbana Citizen, travelling in Texas,
says This afternoon we passed the farm
ami residence of Gen. Sam Houston. His
house Is rather primitive affair, being one
story, double hewed log cabin, with an entry
II porch in front. surrounded by live oaks.
negro cabins and sheds. and the whole en-
closed by crooked rail fence, showing a
lack of order in the proprietor. His farm is
partly in the town of Independence, little
dilapidated one-horse place, with some of its
houses tumbling down, and the rest looking
US though they had always been there.

The American Colonization Society has
finally cleared itself of debt. 1t began the
last year with an incubus of 1892 900, but
has sha ken it off. The rigid economy, how
ever, which was necessary in order to effect
this result, has curtailed operations in Libe-
ria, and only three expeditions were sent out
during the year. The last one, sent under
the auspices of the New York state society
sailed from that port III December, taking 50
emigrants.

WHERE DO THE SPoNGEs Go ?"-They are
too large to be concealed, and too remarka-
BILE to be overlooked and yet, year after
year, we are shipping from twenty to thirty
tons of sponges-or about %, ,000,O0 of sep
arate sponges to the New York market
without any knowledge of what becomes of
them. We have seen cloth, hats, and shoes
all said to be made of sponge, but we don't
believe word of it. The demand and the
price for this article have been steadily in
creasing with the supply, Twelve and
half cents per pound were given for them five
years ago, and now, though the quantity
shipped has steadily increased, forty cents
per pound are readily obtained, and the de-
mand increases. The value of the last years
shipment has been $l5,000.-lKey West
