a raise Prophet.
Our neighbor of the Courier blus-
ters learnedly and "muchly" about
high taxes, and predicts ruin and
anarchy as the future OF our Gov
ernment; and yet, at the present
rate of increase, we shall have one
hundred Moasand more immigrants
this year than last. There must be
q mistake somewhere. II the Ger
mans, who are already here, believe
the editor of the Courier, when he
asserts that the country is in such q
deplorable condition, would it not
be the part Of wisdom for them to
warn their countrymen who are
leaving the Old World for the New,
10 remain where they are2 This
emigration is filling our workshops
with mechanics, and dotting our
country with excellent farms and
beautiful homes. These men are
not only occupying these places, but
they are filling the highest positions
in the gift of our people, and to day
free Missouri is represented in the
United States Senate by the patriot
ic Schurz. When men of all nations
can enter the lists with chances
equal to our own citizens, and when
thousands of them are growing in
wealth every day by their honest in
dustry, what must they think in re-
gard to these lugubrious and woe
begone representations of the "ed-
itors Of the county printing While
these men Of foreign birth have
brought TO cur shores willing hearts
and strong armsAbetter than riches
they will acknowledge that they
have found here freedom from OPP
preston and an equal chance in the
battle Of life. To hear our neighbor
one would think that any
kind OF q monarchy would be better
than free America. What do our
born citizens think? gl Fl

The Perry Monument at Put-in-Bay.

The Cleveland Leader gives the
following Endorsement Of the project
of the patriotic people of Put-in-Bay
to complete the monument to the
memory of Perry and the other he
roes of Che battle of Lake Erie:
ssIt is certainly a matter upon
which the people of Northern Ohio
can hardly be congratulated that the
monument to the memory of Com
modore Perry on Gibraltar Island
has stood so long in partially fin
ished condition. The battle OF Lake
Erie was the most brilliant feature in
the war of 1872, and the gallantry Of
the noble Perry and his fleets alone
have made our magnificent lake his
torical. If there is any spot more
fitting than any other upon which to
rear shaft in commemoration OF
that action, it is at Put-in-Bay, the
little inlet where the brave fleet
anchored, and where, 0hen the fight
was over, the dead were laid for
their last sleep. The citizens Of the
island have formed an association
for the purpose Of completing the
work, and on the tenth of September
a grand assemblage will take place
at Put-in-Bay, to which the people
of all the lake cities are invited. An
Grafton will be delivered by survi-
vor of the battle, and no pains will
be spared to make the occasion
worthy OF the event it is to commem-
orate. We trust that Cleveland will
not fail to respond promptly and
literally to the call of the committee
having the matter in charge. Excur-
sions should be organized, and a
liberal delegation should be present
TO attest that the enthusiasm that
gave the heroic commode the noble
statue that decorates our public park,
has suffered no abatement.

How il was nnna

The Democracy are claiming that
their appropriations for the State for
the past two years are $1,000, 789,
90 less than the appropriations OF
the Union party for the two preceding
years. This they show by stating
that the Republican party in two
years appropriated s9.646, S62 OIL,
while the Democratic party for the
same period only appropriated S.
926,002.92. Assuming this to be
correct, it is well for the people to
know that in the amount apprOpri-
ased by the Union party there was
So, ,548,93 for the paymen. of the
State debt and interest thereon,
while Democracy appropriated only
80, ,203,0 ,085 for that purpose. De
duct these from the total appropria-
tions, and ii will be seen that the Re-
publican party only levied s6,108,-
232.0l for State purposes-a differ
ence of almost quarter of million
of dollars in favor OF the pockets of
tax payers.
This is the way the Democratic
levies were kept below the preceding
Republican levies, but no Democratic
paper will so state to its readers j
That would destroy the basis elabo-
rately constructed by the last Legis.
lsture for claptrap.

CONCERNING the rumored consoli
dation of railroads, of which we have
had rumors for some days, the Cleve-
land Leader says:
"The important railroad consoli-
dation of which we made mention q
day or two since is in fair way to
be consummated. Yesterday the
proper officers of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railway and the
Toledo, Wabash and Western road
signed articles of agreement for con
solidation, which are to be submit
ted to the stockholders of the two
roads to he voted on in thirty days.
There Is little, if any, doubt of the
result, and when the consolidation is
made the company thus formed will
control LAS miles of railway and
will represent capital of nearly
$4,000, 1000"

THE NATIONAL DEBT.-The good
work goes bravely on, and day by day,
silently but surely, the mountain of
our public debt is being cut down,
and the way is being prepared to light
EN- the burdens Oftaxation. The coun-
try is again gratifed and its enemies,
domestic and foreign. afflicted with
an official statement that the National
Debt was reduced Seven Millions -Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars during the
last month, and would have been re
duced by more than Nine Millions
but for the necessity of paying over
One Million and half of interest on
bonds advanced to the Pacific Road
or roadsl which they are under obi
cation. but not yet, able to pay. The
total reduction of the Debt since Gen.
Grant assumed the Presidency five
months) falls little short of Forty-four
Million of Dollars.

A Temperance Tale.

Several gentlemen were discussing
the merits of the prohibitOry law.
Objections were raised, various
opinions expressed, and at last de-
cision reached that a license law was
preferable. A lady had been a silent
but attentive listener to their conver-
sation. One of the gentlemen-a
physician, suddenly asked, "What is
your opinion, Mrs. CT SurAly you
have good reasons for mitigating the
sentence of King Alcohol

he asked. 'Do you fail to remember

/ declare that the woman who is
able to systematic and carry o.
smoothly the work of an ordinary
family, illustrates higher sagacity
than is called FOR by seven-eighths o'
the tasks done By man. Men make
one trade, and work at it; mothers
and houseekeper's work requires a
touch from all trades. A man has
his work-hours, and his definite
tasks; woman has work at all hours,
and incessart confusion of tasks.
Let any man do woman's work
for a single day wash and dress the
children, having provided the clothes
the night before; see that breakfast
is under way TO suit a fault-finding
husband; the wash-boiler on with
water for the wash, and the clothes
assorted ready for washing the dish
water heating, and a luncheon tho't
out for the school-goers; nice din
der in the good mans dinner-pail !;
the beds made, after proper airing !;

for family prayers; the systematic
sweeping of the house st LEAST once
a week, and of living-rooms once to
three times day, according to the

of clothes; the drying, sprinkling,
and folding, and tomorrow the iron

general kept straight around home.
Meanwhile, '.Papa mustnot be tIoub-
led or hindered about his work. be-
cause his work brings in the money /;
yes, mans work brings in the money,
but mans work does not so tax the
head and heart aud hands as woman's
work does.
Besides all this, man is helped by
many strong relishes and incentives
in his labor. He is out in the world
among folks. He comes and goes,
and is refreshed in spirit. But wo-
man works alone, and almost un-
known. To please her husband and
her God is, possibly, her only mo-
tive; and alas, how many wives
there be who sob in secret bsfore
their God, because they fail to win
one smile or word of praise from
their husbands. It's stupid and bru-
tai for any ordinary man to be find
ing fault with women.-Rev. Z. X.
Beecker.

Just as he had drawn the water, ap.
parently as fine and pure as could be
desired, a rough fellow a little dis
tance away, yelled out: stranger,
YOU mustn't drink that water. D
'.Why,' was at once asked. "Cause

curiosity to taste of it, when the fellow

And having news to tax about,
He never gets the '-blues-
While ofbe yawn in ennui,
His mind is light as vapor.
The cause Is plain 70 half an eye
He always takes the paper.
While neighbor Stout hears all the news.
And knows the current price,
And always minds his P's and Q's,
By taking good advice:
cannot tell the price of calves,
OF poultry, coffee, tame, or
ANY kind OF merchandise,
Because / take no paper.
Though have studies which require
Much time and mental labor,
Yet can spare little time
As well as Stout my neighbor:
Though time is precious, i can use
A longer midnight taper,
And thus take time to read the news,
Therefore, I'll take the paper.

hair where the follicles are destroyed,

But such as remain can be saved tor

of fouling the hair with pasty sedl-

TnE WRoNG MAN IN THE WRONG PLACE.
A few days since young couple, just married
at Waterbury Conn, got on board a train on
the Naugatuck Road, bound for Bridgeport. =
They had a sweet time, billing and cooling in
proper style, until the train reached the juno
tion. While waiting there, the groom took a
stroll on the platform, and the bride also i'm
proved the time to walk to the forward end of
the car. As the train started she returned,
and seeing her husband, as she supposed,
comfortably seated, she popped into the same
seat, and lovingly rested her head on his
shoulder, while the cars passed through the
covered bridge. Unfortunately she had mis-
taken her man, and as the cars emerged from
the bridge trembling voice whispered in heI
ear that he didn't quite comprehend the situ-
alton. Looking up, the bride found an un-
known, blushing youth, while her liege lord
was standing in the aisle, with look of blank
astonishment on his face, not knowing wha
to make of ''such conduct as those" The
error was corrected at once, but the fun wa
too much for the occupants of the car, an5
every sleeve contained an enormous, thougl
quiet, laugh.
