GUESS.

In a gay company not long ago a
doctor of divinity gave riddle to be
solved, an arithmetical puzzle, saying
he would give fifty dollars to GER
tain charitable institution that the
company were very much interested
in, if five young ladies would solve
it before tea-time. He said num-
ber Of learned men-college profes-
sors, etc.-had worked over it long
time without reading it Alright.
Pencils and paper were busily
piled, but, though some succeeded,
the five young ladies cid not, so the
gentleman saved his donation for
that time. / think some Of our Pot
ter county young people will have no
great trouble with it.
One hundred and one by fifty divide,
And then if cypher be rightly applied,
And your computation agreeth with

roughbred and he will not sell for
more than quarter or half as much.
But many claim that what are called
blooded horses, and especially tho
roughbreds, are no better than COM
mon breeds for general purposes, and
that the only advantage in raising
them IS where a fast horse can be
produced. Now, any one who pur-
chases a horse looks for certain points
and qualities that are universally ack-
nowledged to constitute a good ami.
nal, and test will show that blood.
ed horses are just the ones that pos
sess those points. In every use to
which a horse is put the blooded ami
nal is superior to the scrub.
In conversation with gentleman,
not long since, who is interested in
raising good horses, he said that some
time ago he met an intelligent farm
er Of another county who was driving
a fine span Of thoroughbreds. He
asked him how such animals COM
pared with common breeds for farm
work, aud the reply was, "they are
as much superior for that purpose as
they are on the road; I have always
kept good horses, but this is the finest
team | ever owned-I use them for a
farm team and for roadsters and they
cannot be purchased for anything less
than $1,000"
We believe this County is well
adapted to this branch of business
and that our farmers are coming to
recognize the fact, and we hope to
see them at the same time recognize
the other fact that ''blood tells"

THE people of most of the States
have this Fall to choose between, on the
one hand party of definite, fixed politi
cal principles under the guidance of
which the country grew to all its pres
ent greatness and power, and of such
moral principles that it eXpelS Its
Tweeds; and on the other hand party
that has now no political principles
whatever concerning the present or fu-
ture life of the republic, and whose great
moral idea is to promote its TWeeds. =
Ne,c York World.
Commenting on the above precious
extract from the acknowledged ma
tionaI organ Of the Democracy, the
Buffalo ErpreSS says: Party OF
definite, fixed political principles IS
good. No two Democratic papers
can agree as to what Democratic
doctrine is this year-that's ''deti-
nite.n And last year they "surren-
dered" all their principles at Balti-
more (see Groesbeck )-that's fixed" :"
As for expeIling its Tweeds-it is a
notorious fact that the Democracy
Of New York City elected Tweed to
the State Senate by a majority OF
5000 votes after the full exposure of
the Tammany frauds had been made.
That's where the "moral principle"
comes in. How simple, and yet how
convincing!

The Proposed New Constitution.

The Proposed New Constitution.
The readers Of the JOURNAL have
learned, from occasional letters from
Constitution Hail. something Of
the general spirit Of the Convention.
1t is proposed now to make them ac-
quainted with the most important
work Of that body.
On the first page Of this paper will
be found the Article on Legislation
as it passed second reading, and as
it will probably be submitted to the
people for their approval or disap-
proval.
In the judgment of the writer the
Article on Legislation is the most
important Of any adopted by the
Convention-nay, that it is more inn
portant than all the others combined.
Any person Of ordinary intelligence
will see on reading it that if adopted
10y the people it will thoroughly Grad
icate the evil Of special legislation; it
will prevent the passage Of any bill
in undue haste; it will prevent COM
mittees of ofconference from smuggling
through ne1U matter that never passed
either House; it will prevent them
from loading down the appropriation
bill with all manner Of obnoxious
items.
But it is not my intention to tell
what reforms are embodied in this
artiCIe-only to ask every reader Of
the JOURNAL to give it careful and
thoughtful consideration; for in spite
of some defects I consider the Article
on Legislation one Of real reform.
If adopted, it will at once purify the
atmosphere Of Harrisburg to some
extent and viii remedy nearly all the
evil that has grown into our present
system Of legislation; and, in my
Judgment, nothing but an amend
ment to the Constitution will remedy
these evils. They are the inevitable
outgrowth Of our present Constitu-
ton and legislative practice, and are
beyond the reach Of honest Iegisla-
tors without some help from the or
ganic law, j. S. NJ.

Death Of VIM. NJ. Meredith.

Born one year before the close OF
the last century, William NJ. Mere
dith lived in the most interesting era
of modern civilization, after filing
his nearly two generations with vir-
tue and usefulness. Without attempt
inc distinction. it came to him as the
fruit comes to healthy tree. With
out mingling in the busy stIiles OF
party. honors were as frequently de
clined as they were freely protlcred.
He was never what might be called
prodigy, but his influence was pro
digious. He ripened early. and at
the time Of his death he was, 50 to
speak, mellow with long experience
and a sound learning. He was an
intuitive lawyer; 50 wise and safe,
always, that his opinions became the
maxims Of his professions, and his
principles the guiding-stars Of a great
community. Never Ponderous, be
was always profound. Sternly avoid
inc sensation. his common sense was
not less marked than his apprecia-
ton Of humor and imagination IN
others, and his own unrivalicd pow
ers of dignilfed satire and quiet wit.
He may be called the last, with the
exception Of Horace Binney, Of the
giants Of the Old Pennsylvania bar.
He mingled with these masters as
rival and equal; and when ne met
the great minds Of other States, like
Webster, hc filled their largest meas
ure and stood as tall Is Themselves.
He was every inch a Pcnnsyiyanian.
National. because his ideas were
broad and his vision stretching be-
yond all limited horizons, he never
theless believed, rs in religion, that
his native state was armed with the
elements ola rare superiority, and he
was always prominent in the assertion
Of her rights to a superior cOnsidera-
ton. He was a Wing, but never an
Anti-MasOn. He was an American,
but never a KnOw-Nothing. As
President TayIor's Secretary Of the
Treasury for only a brief period, he
served long enough to leave & states
mans mark on the records Of the de
partmcnt. As a legislator, he was
eminently safe and sagacious. As a
delegate in our two last State Con
stitutional Conventions, he favored
all reforms that were liberal and op-
posed all that were revolutionary

so, THAT mine enemy would write
a book" If lie VIII not do that let
him write letter. This last is what
Ben Butler has lately been doing in
the attempt to Justify himself for
his action on the salary job last win
ter. We do not propose to review
it. in fact, Ben mixes himself into it
so completely it would be a disagree
able subject to review. But there is
one reason given for increasing the
pay Of Congressmcn that we wish to
refer to. He says he has seen hon
est, temperate men unable TO bring
their families to Washington, and
sometimes when they have brought
them there, seen them live in q single
room in the third story Of some sec
ond-class boarding house in order to
meet their expenses and keep up the
old home they have left among their
constituents. 20 relieve their wants
and thds remove from them the ter
ribIe temptation to become corrupt,
to which they have been exposed, he
labored TO have their pay increased.
We unsophisticated people up here
in the backwOods have supposed that
when we elected a man to Congress,
he was going there to look after the
interests Of his constituents and the
welfare Of the nation at large. Going
to vote, work on committees, talk
maybe for buncome-ina a word, make
himself generally useful for a few
months, and then come home tired,
perhaps, but with opportunity to
rest. Now Ben's reasons upset our
ideas entirely. Our Congressman
may do all the things we have init
mated, but the real purpose of send
ing him, after all, IS that he may take
his family to Washington and main
tain them there in elegant apart
ments, and clothe them fashionably.
If this cannot be done for $4,000,
make it $4,000, and then maybe the
man will not become corrupt. But
where is this to stop? How long
before Ben's logic will reason out
that every member must own and
furnish & house Of his own, or else
he'll get to taking bribes? The whole
thing is too transparent.

THE Austrian exhibition is fruitful

THE Austrian exhibition is fruitful
of scandals. A very gallant Austri-
an baron, who wears shoulder-straps,
with some companions, followed a
party Of American ladies around the
exhibition for four hours, offering
repeated insults. They appealed to
General c., holding an official posi-
ton, and he slapped the Baron in the
face. Cards were intcrchanged, and
quite a fuster made, when the Ba-
ron, learning that it would be made
a government matter if American
ladies were to be thus insuIted. sent
