TO OUR FRIENDS.


The Presidential campaign is now
over, the battle has been fought.
The merits and demerits Of the respect
i've candidates and the principles of
which they were the exponents, after
having been thoroughly and we
might say somewhat bitterly discussed,
both by the press and stump orators on
either side, have been submitted to the
judgment of the second thought Of the
people, and that judgment has been
pronounced. We feel that during the
exciting political canvass just passed .
we did our duty and our whole duty
as became an honest and patriotic
citizen. We advocated the cause of
Greeley and Brown because we were
firmly persuaded In our own minds that
it was ust and right,an for the best in
terest af people of the United States that
principles which they advocated and
endorsed should be triumphant; and
because we earnestly believed it to be
the only course that could be pursued
by strickly honest man and q true
lover of his country. We looked upon
the campaign as fight between fraud,
corruption. tyranny, and hypocrisy, on
one side; and freedom, reconciliation,
and fair dealing on the other. Look
ing upon it as such, it must be plain to
every one that We had but the one
course to pursue-to work earnestly
for the election Of Greeley and
Brown-which we did to the best O
our ability, and We have no regrets &
express or Limitations to make, oul
conscience is clear. Our design is tt
continue the publication of tht
LIBERAL REPUBLICAN un2er ths
same banner that was frs
displayed at her mast head-righ
against wrong, honesty and fairplaY
against political deprovity This W.
intend to do irrespective of party tie.
and party affiliations of any kline
whatsoever. Sincere in the belle
that we are right, we call upon all 0
our friends all who desire to see, and
are interested in sustaining good coun
ty paper; all who wish have freedom
justice, and good government prevail
and bribery, oppression, and disslmula-
tion denounced, to rally to the support
of our paper, as We purpose to conduct
the REPUBLICAN In the best interest oi
the town and county, no family should
be without it. TO innumerate the al
vantages arising from having in our
midst good and lively paper, one
fully awake to the interest ard welfare
of the people of the county, would as
difficult as it would be unnecessary

The FUTURE OF TIMBER.

1t has been estimated that seventy.
five million dollars worth of fuel is
burned every year in the United
States. Locomotives consume OveI
eight million coros of wood annually
and over a hundred million dollars
worth of lumber is employed in bull
ding and manufactures. -Four million
acres of forest disappear before the
axe, to supply all these Demands
No wonder timber planting is Oecu-
pying so much attention in the West.
It is said that California has created
sn officer for the State, as Superinten-
dant of Forest Culture, at u salary OF
fifteen thousand dollars a year. This
is not probably wholly accurate, but
it shows the direction of public
thought.
The consumption of timber will 90
on much faster in the future, proper
tiOnately, than in the past-nOt only
the wants of population, but because
of the new use to which wood is con-
tinually being put; one of these wood
en- pavements, will take immense
Quantities in all large cities. There
Is some opposition at present to their
general introduction on account of
the early deOay-ahout ten years being
the limit of this kind of causway.-
But il has been found after all
cheaper than stone blocks, lasting
fifty years, because the injury to
horses is less, the wagon tear is less,
and the time saved in going over them
enormous. This saving of time will
alone pay for the whole cost of the
road. There is no doubt, in view of
all these cOnsidera tiODs, the timber
interest of the United States is becOm-
ing very important one.

NEW JERSEY RIRRLRILNs.

/ Sufferns is the name Of a station OF
the Erie railroad in New Jersey, 8
suburban station, the home of many
a city merchant. In the noun
tains, but a tOlerable walk from the
villages of the valley, he will find an
American community with nearly
the least possible that is human, save
the form; without civilization or or
ganization of the lowest, even so
much as gipsies; without arts above
the arts of savages-hunting char
coal burning, and making baskets,
wooden broOms, and the like, with
out hope or enterprise, or industry
for anything better or beyond the in
slant demands of the animal nature;
without line ofthe simplest litera-
ture, or the least idea of written Ian
guage or numerals; without a trace Of
the Bible, of Christianity, or any
sort of religion or deity; nay, almost
without language their pdtois being
so scanty, as well as disorganiZed, that
only the cOmmOnest of facts, and
those with difficulty, are eommuni-
cat-d by it. There is, of course, moth
ing worthy the name of marriage or
family among them. Three sur
names, it is said, sffice for three-quar-
tiers Of the race. Their bearing is
abject and spiritless, their faces stolid,
their glances fuItive, and their con-
duct timOrous. Nobody knows or
cares how they live, how they are
born, or by what means they die, or
how they are buried, in their savage
isolation.

THE WONDER WORLD.

Geol' gical researches are constantly
bringing 10 light fossil remains OF
monstrous animals that once roamed
over the pleasant places now in the
occupancy of civilized man. 1t is
amazing that bones should have re-
sisted physical revolutions that the
earth has undergone since they were
In existence. Being sealed up beyond
the reach of atmospheric Influence
has saved them. Organic remnants
OI COLOSSAL reptiles are most striking.
Next to them the pterOdactyles, or
flying dragons. Recently at the West
the osseous framework Of a species of
bat has been found, the spread of
whose membranous wings was twenty
feet-far exceeding those of the con-
dor, the largest bird known to the
naturalists of the period. Such
discoveries testify unmistakably TO
extraordinary changes of our world
since they lived. A whales skeleton
in the rocks on the Green Mountains
of Nermont-Rn elephants bones also,
aud tusk exeavated in the Sierra
Nevada peak, by the side of which a
common elephant tooth is a mere
needle, speak in inefiable language of
the habiIable antiquity of this globe.
Living trees in California declare by
eoncentric circles that the world has
been quiescent since they sprang from
a seed about four thousand years ago.
Yet 1t is scientifically demonstrable
that fossil giants whose bones are the
marvels of the age, were imprisoned
cycles before the Maraposa trees
which produced cones from which
present groves sprang, had begun to
grow.

FireproOr ROors for Housea.

A wash compound Of lime. salt and
fine sand and wood ashes, put on in
the ordinary way of whitewash, is
said to render wood shingles fifty-fold
more safe against taking fire frOme
lslling einders, or otherwise, in case
of fire in the vicinity. 1t pays the
expenees a hundred-fOld in its pre-
serving influence against the effect Of
the weather. The older and more
weatheF-beaten the shingles the more
benefit derived. Such shingles are
generally more or less warped. rough.
or cracked. The application Of the
wash, by wetting the upper surface,
restores them to their original or first
form, threby closing the spaces be-
tween the shingles; and the elime and
sand, by filling up the cracks, pre-
vents the warping.-FfreRgaH's Jour
nal.

Ancient Mnsie.

The ancient Jews had no written
music; had scarcely a vowel in theil
language, and yet according to Jose.
phus) had two hundred thousand
musicians playing at the dedication
or the Temple of Solomon. Mozart
would have died in such a concert in
the greatest agOnies! The Jewish
trumpets that made Je-ieho's walls
fall down were only rams horns :
their flute was only a cows horn
with three or four holes in it: they
bad no other instrumental music but
by-percussiOn, OF which the greatest
boast made was the psaltery, a small
Triangular harp or Tyre, with strings,
and struck with an iron needle or
stick their saekbut was something
like bagpipe; the timbrel was a
tambOrine; the duleimer was a hOri-
zOntal harp, with strings, and struck
with a psaitery stick. The Egyptian
flute was the same as the Jewish, and
their harp or Tyre had only three
strings. The Grecian Tyre had only
seven strings, and was very small,
being held in one hand.

OUR FIRST WAR STEAMER.

AT the beginning of the present CEN
tury, the navy of the young nation
! just rising on this continent was pos
| sessed of some of the hest vessels in
the world. Among them was the
famous Constitution, which vessel is
still in the service, having been sta
tioued at the Naval Academy as a
school-ship for the last ten wears.
About this date the steam-engjpe
was used TO prOpel vessels by means
of paddle-wheels. To whom really
belongs the honor of applying steam
as motor forships is a disputud point
into the discussion of which il is not
desirable to enter; it is, however,
pretty well settled that Fulton was
the first builder of a steamboat inten-
tended for traffic. The success of the
vessel was followed by great improve
ments in that line, and rendered pos
sible the grand system of internal
commerce for which this country is so
well adapted. In 1914 the same Full
ton proposed to build a floating bat
tery for the defense of New York
harbor, the vessel to be propelled by
steam, with a central paddle wheel
This is the first known proposition to
use the new motive power for war
purposes. This vessel was to carry
twenty guns on her gun-deek, and to
make speed of four miles per hour.
In addition to her armament on deck,
il was Intended that she should carry
two submarine guns on each bow, so
as to strike an enemy below the water;
besides this, provision was make for
throwing a large body of water upon
an enemy at close quarters. The ship
was launched in November, 1914, in
a little more than four months from
the laying of the keel ; by June, 1915,
her machinery was in place, and a
trial trip took place in New York
Bay. which was a great success. At
a later period she made a trip to sea,
about twenty miles from Nez York,
with all her coal and armament on !
board, attaining a speed of nearly six !
knots. This formidable craft was
named by her protector the Demo
logos, but after his death she was |
called the Fulton; she was used as 8 |
receiving ship at the New York Ma
Wy Yard after her completion until |
1893, when she was accidentally blown |
up by the explosion of the powder in
her magazine. Such was the first |
OF our government toward |
war steamers.-HoypeT's Magazine.

SLEEP AND DREAMS

Professor Humphrey, the distin-
! guished Psychologist Of Cambridge
England, has given his views Of the
| physiology of sleeD, dreams and eere-
! bral action, in q lecture before the
Royal Institution. He assumes that
the upper regions OF the brain are
those which minister to the higher
mental operations, consciousness,
volition, and reason, while the basal
portions are more Immediately con-
neeted with the operations Of life.
The cause of sleep Be holds to be the
slight deterioration of the tissues
which results from their functional
activity during the day, and is carried
so FAR as to interfere with the higher
and more complex cerebral operations
aud which neeessitates protraeted rest
Tor the recovery of the nutritive bal
anee. Dreaming he regards not as a
normal or healthy accompaniment of
sleep, but as a result Of the abnormal
or imperfect condition of the organ of
mental action. In the natural state,
he says, we should pass from wakefuI-
ness TO complete inconsistencies and
rice Cersd, almost instantaneously,
and many persons do so. But more
frequently the transition is protract-
ed, and stages are observed in which
the sleep is but partial. The cerebral
organ being in an imperfeci state, its
action is imperfect. aud the first effect
of the lessening of its vital vigor is a
loss of the highest form of mental
power-the eOntroI over the mental
operations This requires :he highest
mental effort, and is most easily lost.
In this condition the thoughts RAM
ble unchecked chase one another
over the mental field, and
give rise to all sorts of ineOngruities
Of the Imagination. At the same
time, being unrestrained. they are
excited, and evinee efforts of memory
and even of combination, of which in
the regulated state of wakefulness
they are quite incapable. In this way
the images of persons and places,
events and items of knowledge, long
forgotten in the ordinary state, are
recalled with distiuetness, and we
fancy that new information has been
acquired, when it is only forgotten
faets that are recalled. ."-". Scientific |
