THE ppNssYLyANIA CAMPAIGN

Ths Republicans Of Pennsylvania have nos
q hard fight on their hands This will be no
holiday campaign In his personal character
Judge Pershing is competitor whom Governor
Hartranft cannot despise, .and besides the des-
perate efforts Of the hungry Democracy to se-
cure all the off .es, :, there will be danger
ous tendency of some good Republicans to vote
for Pershing, Just on personal considerations It
10 true that the imitation plank may well alarm
many Democrats, and hundreds Of them in the
eastern counties will at least stay away from
the polls, but unfortunately but few Of their
party can be relied upon to forsake candidates
in order to save principle. They have too long
made principles secondary to success, to cut
Pershing, even though his election will tremen-
dousy urge forward the widest schemes Of in
haton and do infinite damage to the prosperity
Of the nation.
We believe, however, that Governor Hartranft
cannot be defeated, il proper means are taken
for his re- election. The Republicans are unusu-
ally free from LEGAL dszensions, and general
harmony peryadeH their ranks. The Liberals
Of 1872, with a few uuinportant exceptions,
have returned to the company they left in that
year. If now there should be square, OPEN
earnest campaign fought, enlisting the sympa-
thies and help OF all the natural allies Of the
party, encouraging recruits and welcoming con-
verts. represaing the element which has kept
only too Jealous guard over the State Treasu-
ny, and putting in the front men with brains,
principles and ideas, Governor Hartranft may
go back again, by twenty thousand majority. He
has never get been defeated three timea the
people Of Pennsylvania have elected him to
high State positions he has made most capa-
bic Governor, daarning even the criticisms Of
all enemies except those whose c,rpings are die.

the different mental effects produced
by the torture of the disease. 1t is
not surprising that "some made fruit
less appeals" to their ancient god. Some
inland tribe, who had only recently
Christianity, considered that
the disease was conveyed by their re-
ligious teachers, and they dismissed
them and then abandoned their new
religion. Among these some were for
killing the teachers, but wiser counsel
prevailed. 1t is said that one tribe
buried alive one teachers wife and
child, whose husband and father died
of the plague, to stop infection. But
while some in their distress fell back
on their former superstitions, the greater
number are said to have borne their
calamity with fortitude, and to have
suffered and died under the influence
of Christianity.

A Florida Volcano.

For many years past there has been
noticed column of smoke or steam
rising from an impenetrable swamp, a
hort distance from the Gulf coast, in
Waukulla county. Many attempts have
been made to discover the cause, but
thus far no party has been successful
in penetrating to the location, in con-
sequence of the character of the sur
roundings. A short time since Judge
White and party of gentlemen in
Leon and Gadsden counties formed an
expedition to reach, if possible, the I'M
discovered wonder. They started from
St. Marks in sailboat, and made their
way eastward to the mouth of Pinhook
Greek. One of the party, in writing,
says: "The coast here is very singular
and suggests the presence of volcanic
action at some time in the remote past.
We look upon it as favorable indi-
cation of the volcano we were in search
of. The whole coast is mass of rocks.
One, called the 'Gray Mare forms a
natural bath-house, walled i'll on all
sides. X X x The bed of the river
is mass of rock, and two miles from
its mouth its whole volume is vomited
up with immense force from the yawn-
ing jaws of a rifted rock. Here the
river proper terminates, and then COM
mences series of sinks, which extend
for twenty miles back. Semi Tropical

Synopsis of Stanley's Letters,

The New York Herald publishes a
Geographic synopsis of letters received
in London from Stanley. He says
Livingstone was wrong in report
irg that the Victoria N'yanza consisted
Of five lakes. Spoke correctly state;
that the Victoria N'yanza is one lake, but
Speke's two islands are peninsulas. The
river Shimeey is the principal feeder
of the lake, and the extreme source of
the Nile yet discovered. Stanley had
several conflicts with slave dealers on
the lake. On one occasion he was at
tackled by one hundred natives, armed
with spears, in thirteen canoes, who
were repulsed after severe fight.
Three natives were killed.
He arrived at the Utesas hunting
camp at Msayura, April IL, where the
king directed extraordinary festivities
and displays. One feature was naval
review on the lake of eighty-four
canoes, manned by $500 men. On
the second day, in addition to the
naval maneuvcrs, there were races, in
which eighty-four canoes were engaged,
each propelled by thirty oarsmcn, the
king leading the fleet personally, in
the presence of "A great crowd of on
lockers, including the eight hundred
wives of the king. On the third day

THE FIJIAN PLAGUE.

FORTY THOUSAND DEATHS IN FOUR
MONTHS PEOPLE ALIVE.
Further information from Fiji con-
veys still darker accounts of the plague
which has recently passed over the new
colony. A resident of long standing,
writing to Victoria contemporary,
says: "The death rate is not yet made
up, but the probability is that 40, 900
Fijians died during the four months
plague. The native population of FIJI
is now about one-third only of what it
was when / landed here about twenty
FIVE years ago." The accounts given
|of the magnitude of the disaster are
less narrowing than those of the suf-
ferings of the victims. every few
died of the measles, the majority dying
|of subsequent disease in the form of
Hysentery, congestion of the lungs, etc.
Want of nourishment, or starvation,
|carried off thousands" We are told
that call work was suspended for two
months. You could pass through whole
Downs without meeting any one in the
btreets, which were soon completely
powered with grass. Entering house,
you would find men, women and chill
lren all lying down indiscriminately,
Eome just attacked, some still in agony
hnd some dying. Some who were
ktrong enough attempted suicide, and
pot always unsuccessfully." We are
further told that Gas the scourge be-
Fame more permanent some four or
i've were buried together in one grave,

How to Enjoy Life.
By NJ. Stratton Beers,

"Time enough to prepare for death
when death comes; l mean to enjoy
life while l have it to live" How
often we hear both men and women
say this, and never do we listen to them
without looking upon them with COM
mingled compassion and amazemcnt
Where can such an one have been ed
ucated? Surely not under the sweet
influences of christianity.
By preparing for death" of course
they mean "making their calling and
election sure" in other words, repent
ing of their sins and forsaking them :;
learning that lesson which seems so
hard to learn, to be able and ready to
take stand for right upon any and
all occasions.
We are apt to forget that life is only
lent, that at any moment the tiny thread
which holds us here, "free moral
agent" may be suddenly cut in twain,
and the hereafter be all that remains
for us.
To "enjoy life" men barter their best
and truest principles, shrivel their souls,
squander their manhood, and think, if
they stop to think at all of death-"I'l
prepare for death when death comes;
time enough then to give up the pleas
ures of this life"
But there is that which enables man
or woman to draw for themselves truly
the line of demarkation between right
and wrong; to be able to say NO when
they mean no; to say YES! when they
mean yes; and to enjoy life because
the life they live is pure and true to-
ward God and man. 1t is grace! di-
vine grace! which never comes to man
like a thunderbolt, and leaves the soul
rven, bare and barren, leafess, bios
somless and fruitless; it comes not like
the frost of vice to freeze up the juice
of the heart and bind his whole life in
gallirg letters.
Daring to be true increases instead
of lessons our enjoyment of life, while
it paves the way smoothly to the grave,
which yawns perhaps at the very feet
Of her who writes, or you who read
this page.

The Latest Fashions.

The princesse dress is one of the
handsemest models of dress that is
greatly in favor abroad, but which is
found here only at the houses of most
exclusive modistes. 1t has the front
of the skirt and waist cut in one,
just as the Gabrielle dresses were.
The back has Marguerite effect, and
under this plain Marguerite back the
breadths of the train are sewed. 1t is
basque of this garment of rich stately
fabrics, such as velvet, damask brocade,
or matelasse, while the founce and
train are of soft flowing gros grain.
Rich wide braids are used in the trim
ming. The braids into which some
threads of metalEsilver, gold, Or
steel-are woven are more liked than
when first introduced, as there is 50
little of the metal used that the effect
is not tawdry and theatrical. In the
dress illustrated two rows of braid, each
three inches wide, pass down the front,
like a plastron, and form curved line
across the side, Stimulating the front OF
an open polonaise. The standing Eng.
fish collar and the small cuffa entirely
covered with this braid. The moyen-
age girdle of links of silver is worn low
about the hips, and the chatelaine bag
is of velvet, with carved silver orna-
ments.
Cock's-feather ruches of dark green
ish hues are greatly in favor for trim
ming black silk costumes. They are
especially liked with suits completed by
a wrap of the same, as they trim out
side garments very handsomely. These
outside wraps of silk are very thickly
wadded, to give the effect of fur Innings.
A new design, more lately introduced
than sacques, makes these garments
with Dolman backs and sacque fronts,
the sleeves beginning at the elbow in
Dolman fashion.
Among the richest black wool cos
tunes are those of acknowledgement
cloth of the heavy quality of drap
dete, yet not twilled. This is made
into stylish basques, with deep aprons
that have square backs, and trimmed
with wide black braid in which are sill
yer threads. Folds of silk and of braid
pass down the back of the basque and
form loop through which the sash of
the overskirt is passed.
There is tasteful new collar that
stands up around the neck, and also lies
down in the Byron shape, giving
pretty finish to the necks of dresses.
1t is made by merely extending the top
of n Byron collar to form band half
an inch wide.
Perforated channels vests lined with
flannel and worn under wrappings add
greatly to the comfort of the wearer in
cold weather, and the perforations do
away with the EMBELLISHMENTS once
attributed to them They are made in
basque shape with sleeves, and cost
$50; without sleeves they are SO.
Drawers and understands, designed to
be worn over flannel, the better to ex-
cludc the air, are made of the same ma
terial, and cost from So to $6.-Hr-
