A FREQ and E'asy Party.

"a L iCo otIN IiSy aitJ'
Tho Union Herald says "Tho Re.
publican party has way Of its own, a
FREQ, Independent, good naturcd way
Of doing things" Wo agree with
our contemporary. The Republican
party has way of its own.-
1t has way of stealing money
that is novel and refreshing to those
who arc not its victims. Money jobs
and spcculatiors and wholesale rob.
berries on the public treasury have
becn perpotrated in tho last thirteen
years that were unknown before. Yc
accord to tho Radicals all tho honor
and glory that may have resulted
from tho swindling land grants, the
credit mobilicr, tho custom house
frauds, the illegal issues of State
bonds and tho depreciation cl South
ern securities. All thcso ways Of
swindling the people arc Radical
ways.
Radical armies had also free and
independent way Of entering Defence
le"s uwc'li""., t"l.ing he'll i.lcss wo-
mc", 0Li getting into trunks and
wardro'es without waiting for koys.
Their way of arraying themselves in
apparel and jowelry belonging to
other people was also somewhat free
and easy, characteristic of the free
and independent party to which they
owed allegiance. The Radicals have
also good naturod way Of saying to
tholr victims "Be quiet, VIC don't ask
for anything you havn't got, wo will
be satisfied with taking all you have"
and when they make us poorer and
poorer, and squander our natural re-
sources, and repcl immigration from
our shores, and grind our noses in the
dust, they tell US good naturcdly that
this Is all for our good; that wo arc
being educated up TO tho standard of
political equality and freedom and
that though all is wrong now, all will
be right some timo before doomsday.
These Radicals arc n clever good ia
tured set cf fellows. They tmilo in
your faoe, and put you in good hu-
NOR md pick your pocket at tho samo
time.
And thoy havc a way of thoir own,
a good natarod way of violating tn.
constitution, and catching up innocent
fellows at dead Of night, and hiring
porjurod villains to swear against
them, and packing juries and convict
ing them OF crimes they never com.
mi:tod, and sonding them to Albany
and shaving thoir heads to prevent
their becoming insane from tho out
RACES po.pctrated on them, and Civ.
ing them Joscph's coats to wear, and
teaching them trades, just to keep
thom out of mischief, you know, until
after tho election is over. Then, with
a childliko and bland smilc they turn
them out far from home, sick and des
titute, on condition thoy will prom
lso to do nohing no more. Mean.
while tho Radical Supreme Court
good naturcdly refrains from telling
the Radical Executive that ho is
usutping Authority and violating tho
fundamental principles Of Magma
Cbarta and committing outragcs on a
conquered poop:o for which hc richly
deserves to DO hahgod; And Giant

he will order MI prosecutions against

aggravated cases. We thank him for
this promise, although We decth it but
just. He however, in 'hfs interview
assumed too much tho role of lust
but mercifal parent, dealing with q
prodigal son. The Kn Klux wcro
entirely wrong ip doing what they
did, but thev wero as much sinned
against rs SHINING. AS for tho vilo
m:uions who carried out the ordor,
of government in arresting Ku Klux,
they acted as atrociously as their vic.
tins ever did. If tho President will

sale arrests, for the solo purpose of
obtaining tho rewards offered, We will
have nothing to say about tho scyori.
ty with which he punished tho Ku
klux. This whole un|air from the
time of tho first raid to tho time
when the Albany pcnitcntiary closed
its door upon The CONDEMNED crimi-
nails was disgrace to Civilization.
Peace now rcigns supreme, and if
the general government will ovince
any intention Of dealing fairly with
tn" people, it need fear no future or
gani1ation Of resistance to its au.

but beyond this point there is n diff

that tho wet weather in the spring

the point, and well calculated to make
an impression on the mind:
Get pound of tea.
And don't forget to go to Browns
drug store and get eight pounds of cop
peras and pint of carbolic acid.
Get dollars worth of loaf sugar.
Bring dozen lemons.
If you have chance you had better
bring'a bushel of lime.
We ought to have pound of ground
mustard and some ginger.
Get gallon of coal oil and demijohn
of whisky. Be particular and don't get
them mixed-hqve the coal oil put into
the can, and the whiskey in the deml-
John.
IF you see a nice piece of calico you
might bring me enough tor wrapper:
Go to Orynski's and get bottle OF his
blackberry syrup.
! The -four is out
Be careful and don't drink any well
water while in town.
Be sure and get a bottle OF Hamln's
| cholera cure.
We ought to have half dozen knives
and forks for the kitchen.
Go to McCleery's and get bottle Of
DIR. McCabe's blackberry brandy.
Don't bring any green thing home to
make the children sick.
Don't forget the coal oil and the demi
John, and be sure to keep them separate.
| Go to Cheever's and get bottle Of
syrup Of blackberry and ginger.
Get pint of cogniac brandy.
Keep away from them nasty ponds
unless they are filled up.
If you see any good disinfectant bring
some home.
Get few pounds of crackers and rice
and some oatmeal.
If you see the doctor ask him to give
you a prescription to cure cholera.
Be careful and don't break the demi
John.
Johnny needs pair of shoes.
You had better call at the drug stores
and see who has got the best eholer;
medicine.
Now don't forget any of these things
and keep this list in your hat where you
can find it.
Come home early.
About four o'clock yesterday after
noon the man with the memorandum
might have been seen going out Broad

rockaway resembling the hospital suppl.
train OF an army corps. If the choler
ever goes out in that direction it vii

Entertaining Company.

One of the most enjoyable woman we
know, aside from having her person de-
Gently covered, is completely unsophisti-
Gated as regards dress or fine manners :;
and she is quite as Indifferent as regards
the same in her friends. In all the years
we have known her, we never heard her
pass a criticism upon any article of dress.
She loves her friends for themselves, not
for their clothes. The thought of her
insures a sense of rest. She would enjoy
a visit with us in dress ten years out of
date as well as if we wore one in the
latest mode. She never makes us I'M
comfortable by saying, "why do you wear
blue? 1t is dreadfulIy unbeeoming, or
''your dress is altogether too long-your
crinoline is horribly out of shape" or
why don't you wear a corset? 1t would
give you some sort of shape" and so on
through your entire wardrobe.
We all know no well-bred person passes
unfavorable comments upon the clothing
OF guests. But it is something well
meaning people often perpetrate uneon-
sciously, and the thoughtless comment
makes a sensitive, untried girl, or woman
either, miserable for the entire day.
Many woman wears dresses the wearing
of which constitutes her a martyr, so far
as her taste and fancy are concerned.
But by some unfavorable circumstances.
she can do no better for the time being.
And then for some one to exclaim, ''Oh,
dear l thought you threw that dress
away long ago."
1t is deplorable the slaves we arc to
dry goods, and how apt we are to place
brains and goodness in the back ground
how much more apt to make a display of
our well dressed friends at church, or in
making calls, than those who are more
plainly clad

Nothing on earth can smile but human

STANDARD OF CHARITY.-Men measure
their charities by peculiar standard. a
man who has but dollar in his pocket
would give penny for almost any purpose
Ii ne had hundred dollars he might give
one dollar; carry it higher and there comes
a falling off One hundred would be con-
sidered too large sum for him who has ten
thousand. while a present of one thousand
would be deemed miraculous from man
worth one hundred thousand, yet the pro-
portion is the same throughout, and the
mans penny, the widows mite, is more than
the rich mans high-sounding and widely
trumpeted benefaction.

/ Al BEArrrFrL THoucHr.-When engin-
GERS would bridge a stream, they often carry
over at first a single thread With that
they stretch a wire across. Then strand is
added TO strand, until foundation is laid
for pIanks, and now the bold engineer finds
safe footway, and walks from side to side:
So God takes from us some golden-threaded
pleasure, and he stretches il hence into
Heaven. Then he takes a child, then a
friend. Thus he bridges death and teaches
the thoughts of the most timid to find their
way hitfer and thither between the two
spheres.

One night as old St. Peter slept,
He left the door of Heaven ajar,
When through little angel crept,
And came down with falling star.

Awakpns from some pleasing dream,
And found that angel by her side.

And find that gate to Heaven again
