Republican Platform.

We, the representatives Of the Re-
publican party of the State of Iowa,
In convention assembled, do adopt
the following platform of principles:
Resotted, i. That AS the policy of
the Republican party i'm relation to
iinance has afforded the people not
only safe, sound and popular cur
rency, Of equal and uniform worth
in every portion of our common
country, but has likewise greatly I'M
proved the credit of the country at
home and abroad, we point with
pride to its record and accomplish
rneDts in this regard. And while re-
affirming the policy announced by
the party i'm the National Conven-
tions Of 1868 and 1872, and triumph
antly endorsed by the people, at the
polls,-a policy which, while contrib
uting to the public credit, has also
enhanced the individual and coilec-
tive prosperity Of the American peo-
pie, we favor such legislation as
shall make national banking free TO
all under just and equal laws, based
upon the policy of specie resumption
at such time as is consistent with the
material and industrial interests of
the country, TO the end that the vol
ume OF currency may be regulated by
the natural laws Of trade.
=. That we reaflirn the declara-
ton of the Republican National plat
form OF 1872 in favor OF the payment
by the Government of the United
States OF all its obligations In accord
ance with both the letter and the
spirit OF the laws under which such
obligations were issued, and we de-
clare that in the absence of any ex-
press provisions to the contrary. the
obligations of the Government when
issued and placed upon the markets
OF the world, are payable in the
worlds currency, to-icit: specie.
B. That under the Constitution OF
the United States Congress has the
power to regulate all commerce

1 WONDER WHY.

1 wonder why this worlds good things,
Should fall in such unequal shares;
Why some should taste of all the joys,
And others only feel the cares.
Iwonder why the sunshine bright
Should fall in paths some people tread
While others shiver in the shade
Ofclouds that gather overhead.
I wonder why the trees that hang
SO full of luscious fruit should grow
Only where some may reach and eat,
While others faint and thirsty go!
Why should sweet flowers bloom for some,
For others only thorns be found?
And some grow rich on fruitful earth,
While others till the barren ground.
I wonder why the hearts of some
O'erfiow with Joy and happiness,
While others go on their lone way
Unblessed with aught or tenderness!
/ wonder why the eyes OF some
Should ne'er be moistened with a tear,
While others weep from morn till night,
Their hearts so crushed with sorrow here?
All! well; We may not know, indeed,
The why's, the wherefores of each life!
But this we know, there's One who sees
And watches as through joy and strife,
Each life its mission here fulfils,
And only He may know the end,
And loving him we may be strong,
Through storm or sunshine he may send.

STANLEY IN AFRICA.
n EXPLORING EXPEDITIONS
STANLEY PROPOSES DOING.

ANOTHER EXPLORING EXPEDI1IoN-wHAT
STANLEY PROPOSES DOING.
The New York Herald speaks thus of
the lately departed expedition to Central
Africa: Mr.. Stanley, chief of the Herald ex-
ploration, organized and equipped for the
purpose of completing the unfinished ex-
petitions of DR.. LIVINGSTONE, will now soon
be again in the heart of Africa. Having
reached Zanzibar, and having, with his
official corps, been accorded friendly recep-
ton by the sultan, he will meet with no
difficulties in obtaining the needful men,
mules and supplies for his expedition. His
valuable knowledge obtained from his first
adventure to Ujiji, will serve him well in
this campaign. He, will know accurately
what is wanted in the way of animals, driv-
ers, carriers, pioneers. equipments, provis-
ions and merchandise for trade with the
natives. He will know the road and its
dangers and difficulties, and how best to
avoid and overcome them. He will know
how to secure the friendship and co-opera-
ton of the African chiefs en- route, and the
chief and his people of UjUi will receive
their good friend Captain Stanley with a
hearty welcome.
=Ujiji will be his second or interior base of
operations. From this point be will set out
for the real work before him, the explora-
ton of the region lying between that system
OF interior rivers and lakes explored by
Livingstone and the established drainage OF
Livingstone believed, that the whole in
terror system of lakes and rivers from the
seventh degree south latitude, with their
general outflow to the northward. are
drained into the Nile. Others think that
Llvlngstone's great interior basin istributary
TO the Congo, which flows west into the
Atlantic. Sir Samuel Baker, from his last
expedition to the great equatorial lakes on
the Nile, came away with the information
from native traders of the region that the
Albert lake has navigable connection with
Lake Tanganyika, on which Uiiji is situated.
These TWO questioDs-the drainage of
Livingstone's interior basin, and whether the
Tangonyika is or is not to be added to the
great equatorial lakes of the Nile-we hope
will be settled by Mr.. Stanley in the explor-
atoms he has undertaken. He goes out
with all the advantages of many years ex-
perience from his various African expedi-
tions. He knows the requirements of the
present enterprises; he is qualified and
equipped to meet them, and we are confident
that he will return crowned with complete
success.

IN THE BARN.
BY IDA wHIPPLE BENHAM.

"Creak, creakp the great doors blow apart:
/ stand between them in the shade,
And look to see the bright heads start
Out OF the cubby-house we made.
Alas, alas! no children here
To help me in my morning play:
Who Is IL says It's many year
Since all the children went away?
a warm south wind comes floating through,
With chaff of hay fields on its wings;
And just outside, In sun and dew,
The very same sicada sings
The same we heard, say yesterday,
Like ONE great sibyl from afar,
flushing the rapture of our play,
By its shrill prophecies OF war.
A very royal place was this
The throne-rO0m OF our cnlldlsn play,
Where all the kings and queens OF bliss
Came on their coronation day.
You say you lost them long ago.
The crowns,-and that the realm is drear
Ny friend, we never lost them so
But we can always find them here.
II is too still: the very birds
In their clay grottoes overhead
Twit guardedly, as If their words
And ours were better thought than said
Yet, somehow, when its shadows fit
Around me from their elviSh wings
They come like pleasant letters, III
With messages from other springs!
81 Creak, crea.kI' the great doors blow apart,
Like dusky leaves to greet the noon,
That comes to life and nome and heart,
As to tie morning, oh, how soon!

louisville Saturday Review
IA lady near Covington. XIV. whose
sight was falling, upon consulting a pbysi-
clan, was told that in few hours she would
be totally blind, she went home. took a
farewell look st familiar objects and had
her two little children dressed in their
prettiest attire and brought before her that
rs the light faded from her eyes their latest
sight should rest on them."1
Dear Lord, and must il, can il be
mat no more again shall see?
NO more forever

Play Ger the river:
No more the fragrant spring time flowers
Ahat erstWhlle gave me many hours
Of sweet delight
OF messy banks meath shady trees
WIN leaflets swayiDg in the breeze
Shali glad my sight.
No more my upward gaze shall rest
Upon the towering mountain CREST
Grand and and sublime
Ut watch the singing, ripping riIl
Flow swiftly meath The rocky hill
Ceaseless as time.
I'll see no more the waving grain
Or vessels riding DER the MAN
Of broad eXpanSe,
No more these longing eyes shall look
On scenes of life from nature's book
Not cen glance.
No more the cattle DER the dale,
Or cot half hidden in the vale
The scenss (fOr mel enhance
OR sight OF beauteous works Of art
Or natures pictures ill my heart,
Ny soul entrance.
No more III see the sun uprise,
Or DER again, with beaming eyes
Meet his bright beams
For as he slowly sinks from sight
My sight goes also, I, ere night
zee but in dreams.
Bring now my precious treasures here
My darling babes, so fair, so dear
Their childish grace
That may linger fondly DER
Each lineament in my mind may store
Each pictured face.
ROBBED in pure vestage fair and white,
Thus let them fade from loving sight
Like sun at even
Ny heart shall watch them day by day
Tho eyes see not-then will pray
To see in heaven.

The Rev. Robert Collyer has published a
card in Chicago setting forth his reasons for
not accepting the call of the Church of the
Messiah in New York City. He says that he
only thought of leaving Chicago because OF
the fear that he had lost the power of doing
good there. Heidi not doubt the love of his
people, or wish 10 leave because he feared he
had lost it. In conclusion his card says:
"Well, il seems as if the folks in Unity, and
some out of it, prefer the old stick
to the new sapling. Whether it is
the wisest thing, 1 doubt; that it is
gracious and good 1 do not doubt at all
and it is entirely probable that shall stay
and fall back as soon as possible into the
quiet ways of my ministry, where inter-
viewers never come. Though the question
can not be surely settled for few days
yet, as there is one contingency not very
likely to strike me, in which / should find
it almost impossible to go back on the
friends in New York. This have not men
toned and can not, and need not only say
further that it would be full proof of my
unfitness to stay here If the wealth of good
will have received all these years from my
fellow citizens did not COMPEL me to pre-
fer Chicago for myself and family to any
other city on the planet"

Feminine mobs are becoming quite the
thing in England. The Pail Mali Gazette
notices the growing tendency on the part of
the humber classes of society TO express
disapprobation in mob form. This tend
ency created an extraordinary riot in Oxford
street, one of the main thoroughfares of
London, a few days since. A man, who,
with his wife, lodged over bakers shop
on that street, committed suicide. 1t began
to be rumored round that "the cause of the
rash act" was jealousy, and that the baker
was the suspected. On the day of the funeral
a mob of 800 women surrounded the bakers
shop, and expressed their determination TO
tear the unfaithful widow and the offending
baker to pieces, assuming, without inquiry,
that the suspicious of Tie late husband were
well founded. The mob was only dispersed
by posse of police and the arrest of several

The first instance of cremation known to

of Mr.. b. III. by fire. They surrounded the
blankets, trinkets, tobacco, etc.-then
heaped on a pile of wood and set fire to the
collection.
