A Financial Drink.
From the Austin Reveille.

''Do you take trade dollars at pars" asked
a stranger Of q barkeeper, in q Main street
saloon, this morning.
"Certainly, take anything" replied the
accommodating tumbler singer.
"Well, then give me some whisky" said
the stranger. -
The barkeeper set out the bottle and glass
and the stranger poured out and swallowed
his drink, and started for the door.
"Hold on there! Where's the trade dol
lar" said the bsrkeeper.
"Oh, I haven't got any trade dollars. l
only asked If you took them at par for In
formation," said the stranger.
A shade of sadness stole over the barkeep
er's face as he discovered that somebody
had borrowed the pick-handle he keeps un'
der the bar for such emergencies-andt the
soda water bottle that swished through the
air only came within six feet of whore the
stranger had stood the moment before.

The Signs OF tho Times.
TPhila. Ledger Of Yesterday, |

The times are pretty hard, the signs Of
which are unmistakeable. The wants"
columns of the "Ledger are quite full, but
these are not all. There are long lists Of
horses and carriages for sale-'property of
gentlemen going ad."-which tell tales
of vicissitudes and collapse. "Board at
Summer prices," is the delicate way In
which landladies announce compulsory re-
ductions. Sales at auction, by marshals by
sheriffs, by mortgages, by pawnbrokers, OF
every possible article of luxury stare at one
from the newspaper page. and the an
nouncement of "reduced prices" for cloth
ing, fuel, flour and other necessities, tell the
same story. Painful facts to contemplate,
but they have to be faced, and the moral
they teach of the need of strict economy, is
not to be overlooked. We have not yet
done paying the penalty for false prosperity
which followed the war and will continue
through the paper money period. All Kinds
of business Is very much prostrated. The
capitalists are accepting lower rates of IN
terest, and the holders of stock invest
ments are generally becoming satisfied with
six per cent interest and even five per cent,
if the payment of that smaller rate is iully
assured. Hundreds and thousands are out

gradually coming down to humber preten-
sions. As marked evidence of this fact
we notice that President Gowen of the
Reading Railroad and the Reading Coal and
Iron Company, on the 2Sth inst, issued q
circular to all the clerks, agents, officers,
and other employees of the companies
named, notifying them that on the LIST OF
September, 1876, general reduction Of va
ges in all departments will be made, as fol-
lows: Upon all persons receiving less than
$4,000 per annum, q reduction of 10 per
cent. Upon those receiving from S2,0 to
5000 per annum q deduction of 10 per
seent. Upon those receiving from $5, goo to
SSO, 900 per annum deduction of 90 per
cent. Upon all receiving over 5000 per
annum a deduction of 80 per cent. This re-
duction applies to the salaries Of President
Gowen and the vice-presidents as well as to
the most humble trackman or switch ten
der, and is based on the principle that the
higher the salary the greater the per CEN
tage of reduction.

New Theory About the Hoppers.
TFrom the North Platte Nebraskian.]

The ravages that the grasshoppers have
committed In our immediate vicinity Is well
known to many of our readers, and we re-
0ret to announce that on Thursday after
noon they had gone down the valley as far
As Columbus. Facts will speak for them
selves, and for every effect there is some
cause. Formerly the grasshoppers came
down In this country not more than once IN
every seven wears and their going
so far east and In such numbers this year,
il something unusual. There has been some
unusual cause this year, ,and 1t is not unlikely
that this misfortune can be traced to the
operations of the murderous indians In the
Northwest. The section of the country
known as the Big Horn country has been
for wears regarded as the home Of the grass
hnnners. and no one has ever travelled
through that section without seeing large
rua antItiea of the dreaded pests; to defeat
the onerations of the United States army
the Indians have burned all the country OH,
destrovinr all the vegetation, and, as
matter of course, there were from the fires
dense clouds of smoke. 1t is well known
that smoke is more effective to drive grass
honners hon. out of the country than anything
else and II does seem reasonable that the
EnSisns have driven all the grasshoppers

A large crowd Of people gathe red
together at our M. E. Church, at 3 p.
NJ, to welcome your delegates from
Ottumwa, who are working nobly for
the canse of temperance. The meet
ing was opened in reading portions
of scripture by Mrs. S. II. Worcester
followed by prayer and singing. Mrs.
DIR. Dean was then introduced, who
made short address. She claimed
that the highest and hottest duties OF
earth were consigned to women, and
that they had risen in might and their
lights were shining all over the land,
Their power was being felt and that
they were going on in this work to
do what their weak brethren had
failed to do, and that the American
women were being educated to vote
against the horrible traffic Of rum
selling. She also read some extracts
from Edward T.. Hale, that we're III
place and good. Mrs. Worcester then
read the constitution and bylaws OF
of the w. Z. L. U. of Iowa, and
asked, ''will you have such temper.
ance society in Blakesburg 2" We are
happy, NJ. COURIER, to send this re.
port: we organized said society and
40 persons signed the constitution and
bylaws. While this work was going
on Mrs. Dean offered the temperance
pledge, and we enrolled 80 names
and now. Mr.. Editors, can't we, too
shout "Glory, Hallelujah," with youl
good people over the river. WI
were disappointed in the non-appear
ance of Mr.. w. G. Mclaughlin, bn
through the efforts Of Mrs. w. and
d the meeting was success. Alarg'
temperance ball has commenced II

come again, and heartily thank then
for their work here. May God bles
and sustain them in their work.

EDITORS COURIER: The Republican
Township Convention has just closed
its labors, having elected as dele
gates to the County Convention,
which meets OIL the 22d inst, the
following sterling and answering
Republicans, to-wit: Jno. B. Miller,
Isaac Shields, I. ii. Shane, Jno. @.
Anderson, Sam1 Phillips, Al. Ed
wards, j. M. True, G.. o. McGavic,
and A. G. Black. This ticket was
elected by the votes of those who are
denominatcd by II certain clique as
the "Ring,' and they were opposed
by q ticket composed of some very
good Republicans and some verS
good Democrats or in other words
they were opposed bya mongrel tick
ct
This ticket received its chief sup
port from the Clique" styling them
selves "The Party, most of the straight
Republicans shrinking" that il was
useless to organize, as they alleged
that the old feuds had apparently
died out, and that to organize would
only revive and rekindle the old fiery
fcuds. This council prevailed until
about 10 o'clock, A. NJ, when it was
discovered that the "Party" by its
"Chief" began to distribute from the
p. q. delivery their mongrel tickets.
Not until then would any or many
of the "Ring" believe that the Clique
('.The Party") had been organizing.
But when they were convinced of said
organization and purpose of "The
Party" with alacrity they flew to
arms and brought enough into action
to elect the foregoing straight Repub-
lican ticket, one in every way worthy
to represent the Republican party of
old Columbia Township.
l have heard that some of ''The
Party" say since the result was made
known, that they will fight it out
next November by voting for Hayes
and Wheeler. If so they will find
"The Ring" shoulder to shoulder with
them. Yours Respectfully,
g IT G.rn,yEIr
