War DOES 1T MEAs The Harrisburg Tsls-

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN The Harrisburg Tels-
graph says: 1T is singular fact that, while
prominent Democratic leaders like Augustus Bel
mont of New York. are purchasing the deprecia-
ted securities of the late rebel confederacy lead
ing Copperhead politicians are laboring in har-
mony to break down the credit of the United
States Government, to depreciate United States
securities, and TINS to involve the country in
bankruptcy. May it not be inferred from this
that the Democracy intend some day to repudiate
the national, and assume the rebel debt, in order
that they may verify the justice of their position
claiming that the rebellion was right and that
the war to put it down was illegal hence render
ing it just to pay the debts of right cause and
repudiate those of unrighteous cause. The
subject is well worthy the consideration of the
people f"

HONESTY PoLIrIcs-The Buffalo Express
holds the following language: ave hope to live
to the day when American politics sh all be
elevated above many influences and characters
tics which surround it, and yet may not. So
wrong as the human heart is, as prone to evil as
the sparks are to fly upward, it may not be posi-
bic to infuse the principles of common honesty. a
respect for honorable obligation, principle of
patriotism that does not seek reward in filthy lu-
ere, of good faith into political campaigns.
Men are regarded as honest in the common
walks and business relations of life seem to be
ready to lay that principle of action down when
they enter the political cause and resort to state
ments and actions that do not square by any
principle of right and fairness. We hold that
sense of political obligation should be as strong
in party action as in any other relation of life.
and yet men often seem to regard it as thing to
be laid aside, and assn ed at pleasure, with i'm
punity and without responsibility even"

THE POWER OF GRow1Ne TREE
Walton Hall had at one time its own corn
mill, and when that inconvenient necessity
no longer existed, the milestone was laid in
an orchard and forgotten. The diameter of
this circular stone measured 81 feet, while its
depth averaged seven inches throughout, its
central had a diameter of eleven inches. By
mere accident some bird or squirrel had
dropped the fruit of the flbert tree through
this hole on to the earth, and in 1912 the
Seeding was seen rising up through the I'M
wonted channel. AS its trunk gradually
grew through this aperture and increased, its
power to raise the ponderous mass of stone
was speculated on by many. Would the
filbert tree die in the attempt2 Would it
burst the milestone or would it lift it9 In
the end the little filbert tree lifted the mill
stone, and N 1868 wore it like crinoline
around its trunk, and Mr.. Waterton used to
sit upon it under the branching shade.-En-

Is MEMPHIS IN DANGER 1.-The Memphis
Bulletin of Saturday has an article specula-
ting in seri-comic vein on the cause of Ger
tain shocks resembling those Of an earth
quake recently experienced in that city. It
alludes to a jocular letter published in a
Nashville paper, in which the theory is ad-
vanced that Memphis is undermined by the
waters of the Mississippi, and is consequent
ly in niomentary danger of caving in, and,
like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah,
leaving no trace of its existence. This idea
seems to have taken serious hold OF the mind
of the Memphis writer, who mentions the
case of Reelfoot lake, which suddenly -
peared after the earthquake of 1872 bury
ing in its depths trees two hundred feet in
height, which stood the day before upon its
site. Several other cases are cited to show
that there is reasonable foundation for the
jocular theory of the letter-writer, and the
question is seriously suggested whether Mem
phis does not stand above subterranean
gull, which may open any day and swallow.

TURTLES The Norfolk Journal states
that crew which had spent three weeks in
catching turtle in the waters of the Chicka-
homlny and Appomatox, arrived there on
Friday, after catching sixty, and then says
Their first sale of three hundred and eigh-
ty-two pounds only brought seven dollars
and eighty-two CENTS and they only realized
ten dollars for all sold of the sixty, unless in
thanks, for which four or five were exchange
ed. These turtles averaged from 10 to 2stbs
each, and in Northern market would have
been snapped at greedily, but here, where
people willingly pay 25c. per pound for
choice steaks, &c. per pound was disregard
ed for material for turtle-soup, hitherto es-
teemed as a great luxury"
