full. During the past year the central
Office in that city has been connected

is furnished by 80 horsepower duplex
engine situated in the basement Of the
central office, which operates two double

Reported New departure in Pol.
itioN.

CHICAGO. December 14.-The Pot edi-
,orially, takes q new departure. Il says:
.aThe people Of the South and Republi.
cans Of the North have one point Of cor
dial unity, namely: A mutual hate for
the rump end OF the Democratic party, as
II was that portion which egged the South
into the war and then left 1t to tight out
The war, in the meanwhile holding con-
yentions, talking much and doing moth
ing but talk. The golden opportunity Is
now given men who fought each other to
become reconciled, to unite on basis OF
eoual political rights to all men, and the
deStructlon Of Northern Democratic
Sneaks. Ben. Hill should continue as no
ma begun, His Southern friends must
second him promptly, unequiyocaliy, in
good faith. The Republicans OF the
North are ready to meet their Southern
brethren on q square basis. The mo:
mentous question Is, will tho patriots Of
The North and the South use this great
opportunity?
In conversation with q man who has
had an intimateS acquaintance with
prominent Southern politicians, your
Correspondent was informed that these
men-seeing clearly the impoSsibility OF
harmony and the perfect restoration 10
American citizenship while they cling to
the Democratic party, which has wrong
ed them in every way, seeing this more
clearly than those masses Of the SCUM
who do not mingle in politics, and who
are captured by the name oil Democrat
have formed & resolution TO sever all
connection with the Democratic party, so
lar az they may be able 10 effect i, and
n alIy themselves with the Republicans
nder the leadership Of Hayes. The late
attacks Of Ben. Hill have been made
merely as ieeIers Of public sentiment in
tho South. They are not spasms OF in
dignation, but merely the initiatory steps
Of a great political revolution. The
South do not care for Tilden, but they do
admire and respect Hayes. They want
what their long utilization with the
Democratic party has failed to give them
citizenship and restoration Of trater-
nifty with the North.
The heavier Southern Democratic guns
will ere long be brought in position, and
men like Lamar, Gordon and others will
give Hill solid backing, which will sus'
tain him in his impetuosity.
The Times Of this city has started a re-
port which has been given some carrea'
ey, that Hon. George Armor, Republican
Blector Of Illinois, Is ineligible on ac'
count OF his being scotchman, unnatu'

About Grandmothers.

l cordially endorse what "R. NJ. L. says
about being kind to grandmOthers aud max.

there is just one proposition Of hers from
which | must dissent. She says, LET her
sit at the head'of the table, especially in her
own household a daughter-iu.law has no
right to install herself there unless she
chooses to give IL up" o..
Now hold that the wife should be the
head Of her husbands house. If she chooses
to come as boarder into the home Of her
husbands parents, let her occupy a subor-
dinate position but if it is her husbands
home, il he is the head Of affairs out OF
doors, she of right should be the head of
the house. Aud the mother.in.law, or grand.
mother, ought not to feel injured thereby.
She has had her day, unless she has been
cruelty despoiled of her just right she has
been the head of her husbands house, and
she has no right to expect to be the head OF
her sons also. Where it seems best for a
sou or daughter TO remain with their par
ents, and the mother is still active enough
to wish TO remain the head Of the house, let
the elder and younger families live in sep
crate houses, or if that is not practicable, al
least 10 separate apartments then neither
