Broken Friendship.

Friendship is good deal like china.
If is very durable and beautiful as long as
it is quite whole; but break it, and all
the cement in the world will never quite
repair the damage. You may stick the
pieces together, so that, at distance, 1t
looks nearly as well as ever; but it won't
hold hot water. 1t is always ready to de-
ceive you if you trust it; and it is, on the
whole, very worthless thing, fit only to
be put empty on shelf, and forgotten
there. The finer and more delicate it is
the more utter the ruin. A mere acquaint-
ance, which needs only little ill humor
to break it up, may be coarsely puttied
like that old yellow basin in the store
closet; but tenderness and trust, and sweet
exchange of confidence, can no more be
yours when angry words and thoughts
have broken them than can those delicate
porcelain teacups which were splintered
to pieces be restored to their original ex-
cellence. The slightest crack will spoil
the true ring, and you had better search
for new friend than try to mend the
old one. And all this has nothing to do
with forgiveness. One may forgive and
be forgiven, but the deed has been done,
and the word said; the flowers and the
gliding are gone. The formal making
up" especially between two women, is OF
no more avail than the wonderful CO.
ments that have made a cracked ugliness
of the china vase that you expected to be
your g Joy forever" Handled delicately
washed to purity in the waters of truth
confded to no careless, unsympathizins
hands, friendship may last two lives out
INT IL .does not payi' to try to mend 1t
Once broken, it il spoiled forever.

Too Much STIMuLUs.-I have a pear
orchard that for some years had not
grown well, so l concluded last autumn
to manure it thoroughly. This was ac-
complished by spreading over the sur

suit has been similar to the lrishman

No GAIN IN LARGE HoGs-Some SEN
sible feeder of swine writes: There is not
one single advantage to be claimed in large
hogs. There never was a monster hog
which did not make the man who raised
him pay for every pound he weighed
They don't furnish an ounce of meat gra-
It's, but charge full price for every atom
of their carcass. When slaughtered it
takes long time to get cool to the mar
row bone, and when the hams are put in
salt, is troublesome to finish them to the
center. Four hundred pounds live weight
is as large as hogs should be, in order to
make good bacon. Beyond this size
there is loss somewhere-either the
feeder, the butcher or consumer is beaten,
and as a general thing, everyone who has
anything to do with the big hog will
find, if he observes closely, that they are
not so profitable as the smooth, little hog
of only three hundred and fifty pounds
weight. Small head, with little upright
ears, and legs and feet delicate to perfec
ton, are marks which indicate the great
est amount of flesh for any given amount
of food consumed, and much more rapid
lysdraw the attention Of the butcher.

LAWN COTTAGE, Aug. 81, 1875.
DEAR JEFFERSONIAN:


DEAR JEFFERsoNIAN:
In a recent letter from Paris, Lucy Hoop
er, writes, the fashionable color, this fall and
winter is to be very dark green for walking
dresses and demi-toilettes.
Silver grey will also be much worn, form
ing quite a stylish contrast with the dark
green.
Felt is to be worn, the same as last winter.
The fashionable trimmings will be the os-
trich plumes, small bright-tint birds, and
wings.
All the ladies of Stroudsburg will I am
sure-be glad to know the tightly tied d-back
apron over, skirt is to be discarded, in favor
of the graceful long tunics, nearly touching
the ground in front, looped up at the sides,
and slightly dropcd behind. Ladies will not
look any longer like walking umbrella cases,
a certain amount Of fullness being restored to
the skirts, and there is even talk of introdu-
cling small sized crinoline for the bottom of
dresses merely.
| for one extend a vote of thanks to the
bureau of fashions, for the improvement
on the present style.
Lace, wide silk braid and fringe the latter
of silk and chanille, are to be the favorite
trimmings Short walking dresses, to con-
tinue for which sensible conclusion-we have
every reason to be thankful.
Outdoor garments are to be of the half
fitting jaunty jackets Of few years back,
which possesses the merit Of being adapted
to any figure or style.
1t is said the Empress Eugene has ex-
pressed desire to be present at the Ccnten-
NAL next year. And in all probability she
and her son. will be numbered among the
distinguished strangers who will visit Phila-
delphia at that time. Dethroned, and living
in foreign land = though she is still an Em-
press-expressing such a wish, pays Am,eri-
Gu the highest compliment lady can be-
stow, one which we cannot fail to appreci-
ate-and wish her God speed to our shores.

The Democratic Senatorial
Convention.

Pursuant to arrangement the delegates
elected on Saturday, the 2Sth ult. met at the
Court House, in convention, on last Mon
day at o'clock p NJ, and, after being du-
ly organized, proceeded to ballot, when Gen.
BURNETT was nominated for State Senator
by vote Of 26 to Is for Mr.. John Cool

name to be used before the convention.
We cannot doubt that Gen. Burnett will
make an excellent State Senator His na-
tural and acquired capacity together with his
experience, fit him to take high stand in
the Senate from the start; and since we
must have Democratic Senator in this dis
trict, we can say that we are well satisfied
with the result.
We take to ourselves little pride in hay

during the canvass for the nomination, that

REPORTS received by the Republican
State Committee from different parts Of
Pennsylvania represent that the political
campaign is in a very encouraging condi-
ton. In nearly all the counties of the
interior the party is united and harmonious,
and disposed to put forward its best efforts
at the November election. The prospect
for carrying the State was never better at
this stage of the campaign. Our informa-
ton from private sources is to the same
effect The State Committee will this week
open its headquarters in Philadelphia, and
from that point will manage the details of
the campaign. Arrangements will be made
to supply speakers where they are needed,
and to furnish information to those who
require it. The Committee is well organized,
and It's officers are thoroughly acquainted
with the political situation in the State.

THE Commissioners of Schuylkill county
were tried and convicted last week for
misdemeanor in office. They had expended
large sum in erecting public building,
without letting it out by contract, and had
also violated the statute forbidding any
County Commissioner or Treasurer being
interested in the public work. Sentence
was deferred by Judge Pershing to await
decision on a motion for new trial.
This case will probably direct attention to
a very prevalent abuse.

that the Atlantic beach was lined with

by the waves. People resorting to the cost

OFFICIAL returns of the census OF
Wisconsin have now been received from
all the counties of the State, and foot up a
total population of ,237 ,090, making an
increase of 49,, ,020, which is 179 per cent.
in five years-a very handsome increase.
There has been pretty close race between
Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan in popula-
ton for a number of years. 1t looks as If
Wisconsin was drawing ahead of her COM
petitors. She was the lightest of the three
in 1870, but may lead them in 1880 if she
keeps up the present rate of growth.

SOME heavy failures occurred In different
parts of the country last week. The first
was of the Bank of California, fiscal in
stitution with five millions of capital, most
of which was controlled by single person.
The bank, it is said, will pay all its debts.
This bank has always enjoyed the highest
credit, and has never before ceased to re-
deem its notes in gold. 1t was not a
national bank. This failure was followed
by that of another financial corporation in
San Francisco, known as the National Gold
Bank, which is said to have 81 100000 Of
surplus over its liabilities The cause of
these suspensions is said to have been losses
by outside speculations. In Baltimore the
large sugar importing firm of Sterling,
Ahrens & Co. suspended on Wednesday,
owing, it is said, to the shrinkage in the
value of molasses. These disasters have
caused some uneasiness in financial matters,
but the disturbance is not likely to be
general.

A MAN named Miller, who has furnish
ed the Government with valuable informa-
ton in regard to the frauds of the Whiskey
Ring, was shot in Chicago few days ago.
There is no doubt that it was done to pre-
vent him testifying in the prosecutions now
pending, as he is expected to prove an i'm
portant witness. Happily the shot was not
fatal, and Miller has been placed under safe
protection for the present.

The Maine election occurs on the 18th
of September The campaign is being vi
gorously waged, and the vote promises to
be unus;,lly heavy. The election will have
for one of its effects the adoption or relec-

which provide for general laws as opposed
to special legislation, for the Executive ap-
