CURIOUS.

The political situation in the Wayne and
Pike Representative District, is very fair
representation of the successful manner in
which political managers can mix oil and
water AS well as the fairness of there managers
in their treatment Of each other. The candi-
date, this fall, as per fair and square agree
rlent made two years ago, belongs to Pike, and
Pixies political owners or managers had
selected the Hon. Lafayette Westbrook as her
candidate. But Wayne was not satisfied with
this, and steps in with claim, based upon the
Tro rata Of population, and nominates William
ii. Dimmick, ESQ, for the position, and insists
upon his nomination. Pike resists this and
seems determined to stand by Westbrook, as
the only means of checking Wayne's rapacity
her, by making yearling of "Bu5" Wells.
So far as the fight is between democrats VIC
are well pleased with it, and would be bette,
pleased with it still, if, like the butting goat,
of story, they should keep on butting each
other until there would be nothing to butt with
left, but the simmered down tails of the two
factions engaged. But there is another phas,
of the matter which makes the fight still NOR,
interesting. The Republicans of Wayne and
Pike have become convinced that there is 9
swindle in the agreement allowing Pike three
years to four for Wayne, out of the seven wear,
of the apportionment-that as Wayne has fiy,
times the population that Pike has, Waync
should have five times the Representation thai
Pike has and then, to show that they do no
intend to act meanly, by taking advantage o.
the split to elect candidate of their own
these same Republicans coolIy and vrtuously
step forward, and nominate VIM II Dimmick
the candidate of the Wayne Democracy. as
their candidate. And they mean to elect him
too. This has much the appearance glanced
at from distance, of the experimental mane-
ling of oil and water, for no more bitter con-
tests have ever been engaged in, than those in
dulged by the Democrats and Republicans of
Wayne; but, it is said that the mixture is a
perfect one, and SO lubricatcs the machinery of
the union, that failure of success will he AN
impossibiity.
Well, as it is none Of our funeral, we will not
mourn over the result, let it be as it may.

sf9s- Ir is remarkable fact, that, thus far,
all the ammunition the Democrats are using in
favor of their State ticket was furnished them
in the pufs direct and puffs collateral, which
easy hearted Republican editors vouchsafed to
their candidates. Not an assertion has been
made in favor of either Ludlow, for the
Supreme bench, or Hutchinson for the State
Treasureship, that has not been cobbled directly
from some Republican paper. We find no
fault with our Republican cotemporaries for
these displays Of great goodness of heart-but
we do think our Democratic cotemporaries
must feel the weakness of a cause, which is
compelled to go to its opponents for the capital
upon which they base demand for the votes
of the people. The fact of the business is that
neither the principles nor the candidates of
the Democratic party are to be trusted in the
management of public affairs for generations
to come, or until their sousings in the pools of
defeat have washed from them every trace Of
their former political depravity.

to practice in the several Courts of Monroe
county Parties having legal business can
depend upon George as being perfectly reliable

WHAT ARE WE REPUBLI-
CANS GOING TO DO!

The democracy have managed to get two
Richmonds in the field fer Representatives
this fall and the question naturally arises,
Shall we stand idly by, and, with folded arms
look complacently on at the battle between
the Carbonites and Monroeites, or, shall we
join forces with either and push the tide of
victory over to the faction we deign to favor?
We think neither horn of the dilemma should
be seized upon 1t is true that the Republi-
cans of Wayne and Pike have set us an exam
pie worthy of consideration, but we cannot
evade the thought that the better plan would
be to look out for ourselves, and by nomlnat-
ing and voting for straight-out Republican,
perfect our organization and strengthen our
lines not only for this falls campaign, but for
future operations as well.
With the squabbes and wrangles of democ-
racy, we should have nothing to do, save TO
make them useful for the accomplishment OF
our own success and if this canno: be brought
about by collision with the Dimmickites or the
Kistlerites this fall, and We don't see how 1t
can, then let us do the other thing, and, in the
presentation Of Republican candidate for the
Legislature, and voting for him, do what we
can towards bringing out the full Republican
vote for our excellent State ticket. This really
should and must be the design Of all our opera
tions, if we would do share towards keeping
our State Treasury and our Supreme Bench
from being manipulated for partizan ends and
aims We deem it wrong at any time to fight
the battles of democracy, and especially, Is II
wrong now, VIXEN so much is at stake, to foregc
the privilege which should be blessed to
every Republican, of voting for Represents
tive men of our own party, in preference tc
voting for men from whom we can expec
nothing but opposition to our principles upor
every occasion.
But if we would do anything in this matte
we must begin at once. The time is too shor
for delay The candidate belongs to Monroe
Have we man willing to put himself befor
the people? If so let us find it out at one
and go to work for him. If we have not sucl
man, as it matters but little as to locality, bu
much as to principle, let us request our Repub
lican brethren of Carbon to furnish lis the can
didate, and then vote and work for his success
with all might. We have every reason to be
lieve that our voting and working will no
have been in vain.

TIE AIR CAvE.-A few days ago the
Germantown Scientific Society met in its
rooms, in Stokes block, Twenty-second
ward, Germantown, Philadelphia. The
principal feature of the evening was the
report of the committee to investigate the
causes of the cold air cave at the Delaware
Water Gap, Pennsylvania. The committee
reported that the cave is in the side Of Mt.
Minsi, facing tho Delaware river; there is an
aperture in the face of the rocks, about two
feet in diameter, from which a current of
cold air issues with considerable violence,
Near this opening is hollow stump, which
is also vent for the air. Several crevices in
the rock yield supply of this cold atmos.
phere. l
The question now arises as to what causes
this volume Of air, and why it should be
cold. The committee believes it has a solu-
ton of the question.
About thirty or forty feet from the main
aperture is a spring of cold water three sides
and the top of which are of stone. The
water of this spring trickcls from the top and
sides-does not spring from the bottom. On
listening a gnrgling of water can be heard,
not such as springs usually make, but similar
to rapidly flowing creek over a pebbly bot
tom. The spring is evidently leakngs from
this creek, for such the committee believe it
to be. And, too, at the spring. air as cold
though not in as great volume, can be felt.
The rapid transit of subterranean creek
would cause quite strong current of air,
strong enough to thoroughly chill any one
standing in its way for any length of time.
The scientific discussion for the evening
was on Glaciers. A fine and curious
specimen of sea weed was presented. One
of the members made some remarks on
curious plant called the cuscula, member
Of the convovulps family.
