The frightened Republicans, says the
Sun, are pretending that there is nothing
serious to them in the loss of Indiana.
With chattering teeth they tell us that
they never cared much for Indiana, and
can get along just about as well without
,t.
If this be true, why, did they send
thither scores Of their ablest stump speak
ers from all parts of the country, and pour
in all the money they could screw out of
the officeholders or beg from their mil
lionaires? Was it for the mere fun of the

Hampton in speech at Aiken last nigh

Moral Charater Of the Oyster.

In temper he is mild even to placidi-
ty, although he is sometimes slightly
ruffled, on his edges at least. He is
quiet always, and usually very well-be
having; and yet he participates in near
ly every scene of debauch and revelry.
He frequents midnight suppers and is
the companion-the bosom companion.
we may say-of wild fellows of every
degree. He makes no noise and no
quarreling, but he is present in we'll
nigh every riotous company, and is
found at tables with wines and liquors
of every kind, name and quality. In
himself, and 80 far as his personal be-
havior is concerned, the oyster is per-
fectly respectable, and gentlemen and
gentle women have him at dinner with
out scruple; but there can be no doubt
that his name is suggestive Of dissolute-
ness and dissipation, precisely as the
horse, noble as he is, is indissolubly as.

Farm.Villages: A Suggestion.

There is no necessity that farmers
should be isolated so much as they gen.
orally are, nor any need that the farm
buildings should be in the center of each
farm. 1t simply matter of figures
and calculation, as to whether the saw
ings of few hours labor-or a few
days in the aggregate-yearly, in haul
ing the crops to the barn with the barn
and house in the center Of the farm, and
mile away from the nearest neighbor,
ia of more value or more convenient
than to have ones neighbors closer and
ones fields farther of. There are many
advantages in having three or four
homesteads contiguous and forming a
hamlet, or with few tenant houses or
cottages, small village. This is es-
pecially desirable in the West, where
the land was originally SO divided that
four farms necessarily meet at one cor
ner, where two roads cross. Where
farms are 160 acres in extent, there
would then be four houses together al
every mile; four sets of farm buildings;
four orchards, and four plantations
which would condense the shelter pro-
vided by these, and make it much more
efectiv. than when scattered half mile
apart. At or near one of these corners
the blacksmith's shop and other conven
fences would naturally be located, and
in time farm village would be bull
up. There would be far better socia
opportunities than farmers now enjoy
and many more opportunities for com
bining labor and capital in joint enter
prises. The scattered appearance of th'
houses in the early settlement of a new
Western country, and even of the NOR
substantial homesteads of an older one
is one of the most conspicuous disadvan
tages which strike visitor from NOR
populous part of the country. Neithe
does it improve upon acquaintance, an,
the necessary isolation is much felt b,

A Frightened Hunter.

The Calais (Me.) Times says: Samuel
Spaulding, of Springfield, while hunt
ing in the vicinity of that town recent
ly, encountered the devil face to face
This he persistently and with trembling
declares. In corroboration Of his testi-
mony there is a collateral fact. Where
as he formerly passed great part of his
time in the woods with his gun, he now
secludes himself at home, hardly ven
turing from his premises. All question
ers obtain from him the same statement,
accompanied by a description of his
Satanic Majesty. For many years the
story has been periodically revived of
some strange creature in the woods near
Springfield, and lumbermen have seen it
as far distant as the head of Musquash
stream; but Mr.. Spaulding is the first
man bold enough to declare that it is the
devil. If his story is true, and his man.
ner and character are in his favor, he
had very near view, and might haye
bagged the creature had he not been
afraid to fire his gun. If it was really
the devil, there are many who will new
er forgive him his remissness."

A Boys Way of Stating Things.

A boys way of stating things, though
often intelligent, is generally nervous.
Example: A lad at Easton, Pa, entered
drug store, bottle in hand. and said he
wanted ten cents worth of "armykamo-
ny" The druggist told him to repeat
the word, and said, Don't you mean ar
MICA or ammonia?"
81 Dunno" was the reply.
"What is it for?" asked the druggist
"Can't TELL" said the boy, starting
slowly out. Whean near the door 9
bright idea illuminated him, and be
turned and asked the druggist: "If you,
wife hit you on the head with chail
leg, which OF them medicines would you
get to take the swellin' down."
"Arnica."
"Then 6ll her in ten cents WORTH" re
piled the boy, and he gazed lovingly q
a big stick of liquorice as the arnica wal
being bottled.

"Ain't?" echoed the young man;

The chief made no reply, and the
boys scattered to their work. A casual
watch was kept upon the door of the
private office, and late in the afternoon it
opened and the chief came out He was
alone. There was a dyspeptic look about
his eyes, like a man who had eaten too
much. and nobody ever saw the new re-
porter come out of that room or heard
anything Of him again. But we often

afternoons are long, and there isno cleo

"Just out Of sight," was the reply of
an official.
"Didn't they know was coming in?"

The Paradise OF MOney-Lenders.

The Pail Mall Gazeae says: "India
must be the paradise Of money Lenders.
Some years ago a Christian capitalist
advanced the sum Of E5 on the personal
security Of Eurasian coreligionist en-
ployed ss a writer in Government Office.
The interest was originally only seventy
five per cent, per annum, but as nothing
had been paid at the end OF two years
the debtor gave a promissory note for
the amount then due, and undertook to
pay 120 per cent, forIthe future. Three
years went by without any payments be-
ing made, and then fresh capitallzing
operation was effected. About that time
the debtors salary was increased, and he
at once set aside moiety Of his pay for
the purpose Of reducing his debt. In
this he succeeded so perfectly that at the
time OF his death, few years later, he
owed no more than f100. Quite recent
ly, no further back indeed than last Au-
gust, Hindoo money-lender successful
ly sued another mild Hindoo in the
Small Cause Court for GA being the bal
ance due on a sum Of fS, the outcome in
two years Of an advance Of e2, the in
tsrest being calculated at the rate ol
seven and half farthings per rupee pei
diem. How much this would amount tc
per annum ia one Of those questions
which may ftly be relegated to Bah
base's calculating machine. These tive
cases, however, illustrate the genera
poverty Of India, and the in6nitesima
character Of its internal and so to speak
popular trade. In some of the remot
hill districts coined money is still re
garded as curiosity to be worn abou
the person, business being conducted Of
the old principle of barter. 1t is nc
very surprising that in a country wher
every ryot is in debt, and where the in
terest on personal loans varies from rs I
200 per cent, the land should be rapid
passing into the hands Of money lender
and usurers. Though not matter fc
surprise, it is certainly matter for n
gret."

The Government of the Eye.

The influence of the eye in the dis
cipline Of children has been sufficiently
noted, but any one can convince himself
of its power by experiment and observa-
tiop. Not an angry look at all, but
steady one--an almost magnetic gaze-is
the expression required. This gives the
impression Of superior will, of latent
force held in reserve, which arrests the
attention and ultimately ensures the
submission of the most rebellious.
The animals control their young by
the eye and voice combined; no violence
is used, no reasoning, that We are aware
of, attempted, yet perfect obedience is
exacted and rendered.
A calf or lamb, few days old, on be-
ing for the first time placed by its moth
er in fence corner, among the bushes
and left hidden there while she grazes,
will coon leave its shelter and come out
either to seek its mother or to play; but
the watchful parent goes at once, with
out delay OF an instant, and leads the
little one back again, and yet again, un'
til it learns to obey. Each time that
she makes it lie down, she stands look
ing intently at it awhile. Then, pres
emily, when it has remained quiet Ions
enough, she, standing at short distance
in the field, will call gently, and the lit
tie creature Immediately leaps and run
to her side.
