WI bide our time. And that we
are gratifed to believe is not a distant
one. We are confident that a political
revolution is going on throughout the
Northern States, and the Democratic
party making steady gains. That
means white mans government, let
the hayonet force what it may from
the South. In the late election in Hi
nOis the Republicans predicted the
Democrats would not carry more than
one-fourth the delegates to the Con-
vention. Yet the Democrats have
carried the Convention by a majority
Of two. The Judiciary will be over
hauled, and other amendments
adOnted.

YoCEo EDWARD KETCHUM, who
was some time since sent 10 Sing-Sing
Penitentiary for forgery, has been re-
leased from prison, his term ofimpris-
onment having expired. He is sup
posed to have laid his plans to make
some money without injuring others.
But his plans failed. He is now re-
ceived back into much favor in New
York, and efforts are TO be made and
every possible chance given to restore
him to the respect of society. The
gold gamblers have taken him to
their bosoms. Not a few Of these are
said TO be rather remarkable for the
peculiar excelleneies of the Pharisees
Of former days. We hope that, in the
process of reformation, he may escape
the contamination of their example in
this respect.

MEMPHIS

THE memorial of the Memphis
Chamber of Commerce, asking the aid
of the Government to the Southern
Pacific Railroad, appears in another
column. The completion of this
road will contribute more largely
to the wealth and growth
Of the whole country than
almost all other roads combined. 1t
would be difficult to find a reason
why Congress should refuse aid to a
work likely to result in the more firm
Union as well as ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of
the United States; and this especially
when it would return fourf0ld TO the
Treasury Of the Government.

potato culture happened to be in New
York early in January, and Messrs B. K
Bliss & Son, the well-known seedsmen
availed themselves of the opportunity to
give potato feast to party, which in
cluded those above referred to and several
of the agricultural press. Mr.. Bresee was
present, and with his new potatoes Mr.
B. is the originator of the Early Rose, and
has some new varieties Of great promise
Single potatoes of one of his varieties
have sold at enormous prices. OF one of
these he sold one tuber for $50. At the
feast alluded to, sundry valuable speci-
mems were served, boiled and roasted
but we noticed that calls for a "few
raw" were passed UNDECIDED. We cannot
give full report of the discussion, which
ELECTED great many valuable facts, but
briefly give the results. fthe specimens
tested, the Early Rose was unanimously
declared the best; Bresee's Prolific stood
No. 2, by small majority; Bresee's King
of the Earlies, No. 3; and Climax, No. 4.
This vote was solely on the merits of the
potatoes as they appeared upon the table
and had no reference to productiveness,
earliness, or any other quality. Bresee's
King of the Earlies is said to have been
dug before it was fully matured, to save
it from being stolen. Climax had evil
IDENTIFY been badly kept, as it had the IA
vor of potato that had been exposed to
the air and light. The Early Rose was Of
the highest quality, and all the testimony
was in favor of its great productiveness
and earliness'-1m. 4griculturid.

OBrTUARY.-The St. Adams Messenger
publishes the following obituary of Mrs
Clarissa A. Wilson, wife of Hon. William
c. Wilson, Judge of the Supreme court
who died at Bakersfield, on the Odd inst
of cancer:
The deceased made public profession
of religion at the age of fifteen, uniting
with the Congregational church of heI
native town. She was married in June
1885.
The disease that occasioned her death is
in any form of it terrible. In her case il
terminated sooner than it usually does
She was confnei to the house but few
months, and she was dressed and sat up
daily till less than week before her
death.
Her whole life was adorned by the
graces that religion adds to the female
character And during her sickness it
was specially manifest that she knew in
Whom she had believed
She said to her pastor, a few weeks be-
fore she died, my sufferings are great,
but how can | complain when Christ vol
UNFAIRLY suffered so much more to save
me He sweat drops of blood in his
agony, He cried out ON the Cross that God
had forsaken him.
The last time she spoke was on the
Thursday before her death, when she
asked her children to pray with her, and
gasped few words of prayer herself
At length, on Saturday, surrounded by
all her family, her face lit up by a radiant
glow, She fell asleep

MISsIsQUOI RAILRoAD.-They had a
lively time at the lpte meeting held at
Richford to open the books of the Missis-
quot railroad. resulting very differently
from what was expected, at least by the
Franklin county friends Of the enterprise.
The commissioners from Orleans comfy,
icing i'll a majority, elected their presi-
dent and secretary, opened the books. sub
scribed for the stock themselves. in an
unlawful manner it is alleged, and closed
the books. Now they can elect their own
directors, and act their pleasure about
doing anything more The Orleans county
commissioners, it is charged, acted in the
interest of the Passumpsic road, and with
design to defeat the enterprise. The
Richford Sentinel, representing the Frank
lin county interest, says:
We are not entirely without hopes that
some satisfactory arrangements may yet
be made with them. One thing, how
ever, is certain it will take more than
twenty men in Orleans county to prevent
the people of Franklin county from hav-
ing railroad. They have it in their
power to block our wheels for few
months, but we can probably easily OBJ
tain redress from the next Legislature.

UNCoNvICTED MURDERERs.-lt is an
old adage, that "justice is slow but sure"
yet it will hardly apply to England at
the present day. The Westminster Re
view declares that mot more than one
in ten murderers are convicted, and the
worst murderers escape" The statement
is deliberately made, and supported by
conclusive reasons. The cause is found
in the imperfeetions Of law and the faults
Of its administrators. There are 80 many
loop-holes for the guilty, it is wonder
how any are convicted.

PUNCTUAtrrY.-After much torturing
experience | come to this, that nine in
ten do not know the value of time, nor the
morality Of a promise. Why is not an
engagement to meet me at nine o'clock as
sacred as any bond Why is not the un-
derstinding that church service or
lecture commences at the given hour, an
acceptance on your part, if you go, of an
agreement, and why are you not false to
it by your tard.ness, and why are you not
a bad friend because CT all the little miser
les your intidelity entailsr The world,
intercourse, affection, great affairs, little
details are cursed; prosperity, temper,
character, life ieoparded, lost by want of
punctuality. Unpunctual people are
every where, and everything encourages
them. 1t is taken for granted that moth
ing will be ION time," and SO everybody
holds off to ensure it. The first ten min
utes of religious service are apt to be
martyrdom to preachers and punotual
people. There ought to be some contri-
VANCE by which the tardy shall be made
as uncomfortable as they, and then we
might hope fer a change But in this world
it too much happens that comfortable
stolidity possesses the sinner, specially III
his sin be fashionable, and the sufferings
come upon those who must take their COM
fort out in doing their duty. r. ".
