DUTY OF YOUNG MEN.

Young men should start right in all
things. At the coming November elec-
tlons many young men who have attained
their majority since the last Presidential
contest will cast their maiden votes. By
their votes they will decide between the
candidates and policies of the two great
parties. They owe an important duty to
the State and nation. They owe much to
business and to family but they owe much
more to their country. They should al
ways cling, therefore, to honest principles
as the only true rock of safety. The Re
publican party embodies those vital princi-
pies. Whatever has thus far been done
from the time we were emancipated down
to the present moment, has been done by
the Republican party party not without
faults, not without grave defects, and not
without bad followers, but still party of
noble record and naturally high duty to
perform. 1t. behooyes US therefore to exert
every energy in the coming contest, and
young men like those who organized last
week the Antoine Cadets have started in
the right way to vindicatc the wisdom of
their choice between the two parties We
understand that Governor Hayes does not
represent the political shrewdness of the
land, but he represents an honest desire
for purity in our public affairs and for Re
publican simplicity and economy wherever
it may be found. 1t is enough for US to
know that he represents those who have
made and will continue to make the Repub-
lican party the party of reform, and not
refuge for the wicked. He represents the
great mass of the people who, when they
saved the Union, purified it, and who are
determined there shall be no step backward
in the work they have undertaken. Our
political future is IN the backward move
ment that Democratic success means, and
we should see that by no votes of ours will
that end be obtained Our candidates for
President and for Governor represent
honestly and faithfully these vital princi-
pies of our party with sturdy common
sense and with that self praise, which in
the practical affairs of life outshines the
more brilliant and glittering faculties
which dazzle and astonish. To the standard
of this party and these candidates, a stand
ard of patriotism, of loyalty, and of political
integrity, the State and nation call upon
young men. Let us respond to the call
and by earnest and united help preserve
! blessings of free egovernment.-Ne,o Orleans

The Greatest Drouth.

The Paterson press" says We have
recently come across au interesting record
of severe droughs, dating back as far as the
landing of the Pilgrims. All who think
the drouth which we have just passed
through was an exceptional one, for length
will do well to read the following account
In the summer of 1922 there were q
days in succession without rain 1880, IL
1858, so; 1875, As; 1859, 81; 1904, 62
1905, 40; 1920, 81 1852, 123; 1870, SO:
1902, 24 1912, 26; 1874, 26 1875, 2S
1t will be seen that the longest drouth
that ever occurred in America was in the
summer of 1862, in which year no rain fell
from May to September, making l23 days
Many of our eountrymen were compelled
TO send to England for hay and grain and
various articles of food for both man and
beast.

Didn't Understand 1t.

Perhaps if that box hadn't been in the
way he would have gone by without tumb-
ling down into the basement. When they
separated him from what was once a rather
respectable beaver, he sadly said:
Il suppose if | was Commodore Van
derbilt there would be half dozen car
riages at the door ready to convey me
home, and score of newspaper reporters
asking me how | felt. But because my
name is Joe Morgan, [ have to so unhon-
orcd and unwept."
He slowly went out, and as he did so a
bottle dropped out of his pocket and broke
on the stone steps. He regarded 1t few
moments in silence, and then tragically ut
tered
"And thou, too, the sole remaining link
OF all that bound me to myself, art thou,
also, gone? Ohio, heavens have 1 deserved
all this ?'

Fearful Turkish Atrocities.

BL0OD-CURDLING RECITAL OF WARFARE
IN EUROPE IN THE CIVILIZED NINE
TEENTH CENTURE.
\ letter to the London "Daily News"
says =
In Phanigurishti we were shown in the
ruins of the church, before where had stood
the alter, a black spot speckled with calcined
bones, on which lay abouquet of flowers
This was the remains of priest, Theodor
Peof, 50 years of age, who had been seized
and tortured in the hopes of obtaining
money, mutilated and maltreated in ways
which only the foul imagination of a Turk
could invent, then killed and burnt here
before the alter. In another place we were
shown black spot where an old blind man,
Dondje Stregleyof, was beaten half to death
and then throwo senseless on heap of
wood and burnt alive.
There was an old man here, Zwatko
Boyadjief by name, a public benefactor, 4
liberal contributor to the school fund who
in winter, supported half the widows and
orphans Of the place, who was renewned
for his charities to Christian and Turk
alike. He was likewise seized, tortured
and maltreated. His eyes were put out
and, after undergoing the most fearful
torments, he was thrown on a heap
of wood fainting or dead, the people do not
know which, and burned They seized the
priest Noster and cut off his fingers one by
one to extort money, and, as the poor man
had none to give them, they continued by
cutting off his hands, and finally his head
We were shown in the yard of a neat little
cottage, embored in trees, 4 grave, beside
which woman was kneeling as We passed
1t was the grave Of young men of eigh-
teen who had just returned from school
when the troubles began, after an absence
Of two years. and who had taken no part
! in the outbreak.
They had seized him, and, in mere sport,
cut off his hands one by one in the presence
of his mother, and then killed him What
. made these acts more terrible was that
many Of them were committed in the pre-
sence Of the weeping relatives wife,
mother, brothers and sisters of the victims.
And they were repeated by the hundred.
But it was not only old and young men who
suffered women, yonng girls, children and
infants were ruthlessly slaughtered. These
Turks, these strong, bearded men, picked
infants up out of their cradles with their
bayonets, tossed them in the air, caught
( them again and flung them at the heads Of
the shriekiug mothers.
They carried little babes about the streets
on the points of their bayonets, with their
/ poor little heads and arms dropping around
the barrels of their guns, and the blood
streaming down over their hands. They
( cut off the heads of children, and compelled
other children to carry the still bleeding
heads about in their arms.
/ l should, perhaps, beg pardon of my
readers for dwelling on these narrowing
details. But everywhere here [ see the
Turks looking upon the English as their
/ friends and allies, counting upon US for
help against their enemies, looking to us
for aid and comfort, and believing most
exasperating thing of all-that they have
our approved in everything they do.

SCRANTON, sept. II, 1876
He was Mistaken.

This morning, says the Cincinnati Times,
a gentleman entered shop on Fifth street,
and asked the clerk
"What is the price Of knit undershirts
with breast pockets ?" He added.
Il travel a great deal and carry large
amounts of money, and | think that idea
of pockets an excellent one, and am sur
prised that some one has not thought of it
before"
"Reallv. sir, replied the clerk, II think
myself it would be good plan, but | am
sorry to say we have none, and did not
know there were any made.
You did not p said the customer
"Wen. that's singular They are exhibi-
ted in your own window, and caught my
eye as l was passing.
sYou must be mistaken, said the clerk.
Il know every article in the store.
but | am not, persisted the gentle
man. "Step around and see for yourself .
The wondering shopkeeper did as reques-
ted. He stepped briskly to the front of
the window, looked in, then looked at the
gentleman. then coughed, and acted as
though he had just felt sudden pain in
the stomach, and then rammed handker-
chief into his mouth and stepped back be-
hind the counter.
"Wen. exclaimed the customer trium-
phantly, saint they there ?"
sYe-yes," said the clerk, appearing as
though he had fish bone in his throat
ssThey are there, sure enough. But, sir,
those undershirts are not for men, and those
rockets are''-and at this point he dlved
under the counter and disappeared, while
a Young lady clerk standing near smothered
a conyulsive giggle in a cambria handker-
chief. and started off with very red face
on important business to the rear part OF
the store.

GOVERNOR HAYES.

The following story of Governor Hayes
was told at a Republican meeting recently
held in Cleveland
At South Mountain the boys of the
Twenty-third having appropriated two stacks
of straw for use in their dire distress, the
general in command rode UP to the regi-
ment and ordered the straw returned. X.
B. Hayes, then lieutenant-colonel, replied:
"My boys have neither tents, blankets, nor
overcoats. The mud is ankle deep, and
the loss of the straw will cost more in
quinine to the government, TO say nothing
of the suffering of the regiment, than ten
times its value, and if the government will
not pay for it, | will" And r. b. Hayes
paid for that straw out of his own pocket,
and this man r. b. Hayes-worshipped by
his regiments the man whom the Cop
perhead Democracy would pollute by relat-
ing the infamous story that he appropriated
the money of a bounty jumper to his own
use Tho boys of the Twentythird fling
it back in their teeth as "dirty, infamous
lie"

How the Eye is Preserved.

There is dust on sea and land in the
valley and on the mountain top there is
dust always and everywhere. The atmos-
phere is full of it. 1t penetrates the moi
some dungeon, and visits the deepest dark
est caves Of the earth. No palace door can
shut it out no drawer is so secret as to es-
cape its presence. Every breath of wind
dashes it upon the open eye, which is yet
not blinded. because there is fountain of
the blandest fluid in nature necessarily
emptying itself under the eyelid, which
spreads itself over the surface of the eyeball
at every winking, and washes every atom
of dust away. This liquid, so well adapted
to the eye, itself has some acridity, which,
under certain circumstances, becomes so
decided as to be scalding to the skin, and
would rot away the eyelids were it not that
along the edges of them there are little oil
manufactures which spread over their sur
face coating as impervious to the liquids
necessary for keeping the eyeballs washed
clean as the best varnish is impervious to
water.
