three married men came.in and stopped

the political conduct of the paper was
bad. Norwich Bulletin.
Mr.. Buckle says that history repeats
itself. We presume he refers to the
fact that the Jews were directed to make
glad the waist places, and that the
same pleasing custom of doing it with
the left arm on the front stoop even
ings, after the old gentleman has gone
to the lodge, is popular now.
One of the boys while reading Whit
tiers Centennial Hymn" to a little
circle in the back room of certain busi-
ness house in the city, was interrupted
with: what, Old Whittier writing
hymnsr Well welli Why, / knew the
old fellow in '49 in Frisco, and a hard
er, tougher fightner old cuss you never
saw. S'posed he'd passed in his checks
long ago. And he's alive, is he? and
writing hymns? Well, welli If old
Whit can get away with hymns, bust
me if / don't commence writing mis-
sionary tracts Then the old s'49er''
gazed with astonishment upon the
smiling features around him, and pro-
posed ''licking'' any one who doubted
his knowing "Old Whit in ''Frisco''

Secret War-Iike Preparations.

A Washington dispatch, Dec. 10th
says: Republicans are advised of the
discovery of most extraordinary cil-
cular. 1t is printed, and addressed to
the commanders of militia and all armed
organizations in the Southern Stetes.
The circular recites that it is the desire
I the Democratic managers to have an
military demonstration at the
time of the Inauguration of Tilden (?)
and it requests the recipient of the cir
cular to notify the person sending it,
whether his command can attend, how
large it will be, and especially to give
the record of officers and members, and
the calibre, character and quality of its
rifles and field pieces; a blank is left for
the signature of the person sending it.
That the Democrats might desire to
make an important military pageant in
the event of Tilden's Inauguration can
be understood, but the remarkable re-
quest as to the calibre of rifles and ar
tillery, and record of officers, is be-
lieved to mean mischief.

even the Southern Confedracy, if it had
been successful in establishing its indie
pendence, would have repudiated.
The organization ola system ofpeonage
would never be On ything more or less
than that already existing in the North
and throughout Europe, that OF the
poor classes being made waiting men
and women for the rich, and in the South
where the negroes would more properly
occupy this servile condition than the
poor white people of the North, there
would be but fultilment of Scriptual
prophecy, "Cursed be Canaan, servant
of servants shall, he be to his brethren"
We again say such arguments for Radi,
cal papers only show to what straits
they are driven to manufacture some
capital against the Democratic party
They will dig up anything, rather than
meet us on the real issues of the day
They want to divert public attention
from the frauds, corruptions and general
putrid condition of the Radical party
They want TO raise din and clatter in
order to shut out from the ears of the
people the inspiring sound of the Demo
cratic slogan reform and honest govern
| ment"

THE Richmond Dispatch thinks that
Capitalization is an accomplished fact
and that it is useless to talk any longer
about constitutional limitation. Our
venerable friend CowARDIN, who is one
of the best newspaper men IN the coun
try, as he certainly has one of the finest
papers In tie whole land, we fear has his
political spectacles tinted little, or he
would not take such gloomy view Of
the situation. We think that Virginia
ought to have made an appropriation to
the Centennial, but we are not disposed
to quarrel with Mr.. TUCKER for opposing
the appropriation IN Congress. However
much he may be derided for his position,
no one can deny that he made ar argu
ment on his side that was unanswerable,
and no one has made an effort to do so.

MERINO SHEEP REGISTER,

The Caltirator and Country Gentleman
says:
The Ohio State W oo,-Grovers' Associ.
alton have been for some time discussing
the best method of accomplishing an OBJ
iect which Merino breeders in other
States have also had more or less directly
under consideration, to-wit: the prepara-
ton and publication of record in some
form of Merino focks throughout the
country, of unquestioned purity of blood,
together with a sketch of the history of
these sheep In America. 1t is thought
to be constantly becoming more neces-
sary, both for the protection of the pub
ic and of breeders themselves, that some
thing of the kind should be done, and the
longer it is deferred, of course the more
difficulty it must be to perform the work
in a satisfactory way.
Tine plan OF such Record was ma
tured last year by q committee OF the
Association appointed tor the purpose.
1t contemplates the admission to registry
only OF sheep Of authenticated descent
from one or more of the lmportations
from Spain prior to 1872, without admlx-
ture OF other blood, together with indi.
vidual merit in the animals entered, to
be determined by personal examination
of the sheep in accordance with a
scale of points adopted for the pur-
pose. The committee now in charge
of the matter is composed of the follow
ing members: H. +. Humphrey, Gro
ton, chairman; +. j. Hiatt, Chester Hill,
and j. NJ kirkpatrick, Utica, all of
Ohio. Mr.. Hiatt called at this office
February 7th, having been visiting
Merino breeders in this State and Yer
mont with the object Of securing their
cooperation in the undertaking. He in
forms us that during the past year about
500 sheep belonging TO tlocis in the States
of Ohio, Missouri and Pennsylvania,
have been entered and examined In ac-
cordance with the provisions above re-
ferred to, and thatapplications for entries
are pending from the States of West
Virginia and Wisconsin"
The same subject has been discussed
in Vermont and committee was ar.
pointed at recent conference held at
Middleburg to confer with the Ohio as
ISOLATION, and arrange details to the salts
faction of all. Those who desire fuller
details of its plans and objects should ad
dress j. NJ. KIRKPATRICK, Utica, Ohio,

AS AN evidence OF what strait the Rad
ical party is driven to, in order to manu-
facture capital against the Democratic
party, we quote an extract from the Chi
cago Mtfr- Ocean, the leading Republican
journal of the West, in fact one of the
most influential papers of that party in
the United States 1t will be remembered
that the Inter- Ocean is an initiation
journal, and while recognizing the fact
that the Republican platform will proba-
bly, advocate forced resumption, gives its
reasons for adherlng to that party and
opposing the Democracy in this way:
awe see as the inevitable consequence
of their democracy accession 10 power
the adoption of some or all OF the follow
ing measures: lst. The payment OF pen
sions to Confederate soldiers. I'd. Pay
ment for manumitted slaves. 81. The
ASSUMPTION of the Confederate debt
4th, The organization of a system OF
peonage in the South closely allied to
African slavery, and the practical over
throw of the Fifteenth amendment to
the Constitution
There is not NAN, woman or child in
all this land, Of ordinary intelligence
who believes one word of that. The
Inter ocean itaelf, if stripped of cunning
and prejudice, would frankly acknowledge
that every word of that article was so
much nonsense. In the first place. the
crippled Confederates, manned, and
many of them permanently disabled
while fighting for what they conceived
to be right, know that they were the
losers in the fight, and, having the man
Illness to acknowledge their condition,
net only feel that they have no claims
on the Federal government for PEN,
sion, but would scorn TO humiliate
themselves by asking for what they did
not think they were entitled to. Ii
these reckless Republican politicians had
ever met these men on the tented field
and in the shock OF battle, they would
have learned enough of their character
to know that such statements as that
made by the Mter-OceGn are made with
out regard to truth.
The Shareholders of the South are in
the same condition. They feel that they
were robbed of what the government had
always regarded as property In their
slaves, but they know the loss was the le-
gltimate result of the war, and so accept
It. And the statement about the gov
eminent assuming the Confederate debt
is merest bosh, for It will be as much as
we can do either under Republican or
Democratic administration to pay the
debt for which the government is already
obligated, without shouldering one that

thickened, falling hair checked, and
badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can re-
store the hair where the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied

occasional use will prevent the hair

A Double Danger Averted

The inhabitant of 4 malarious region is
threatened by double danger. He is
not only compelled to BREATHE miasma,
but to SWALLOW it. since it infects not on
ly the atmosphere, but the water. The
aerial poison threatens his system Through
the lungs and PORES, the liquid through
the stomach. Against this double peril
there is but one protection, and that is to
iuvigorate the entire body through the
digestive and secretive organs. Ordinary
tonics usually fail TO accomplish this
Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters never. In the
tropics, where the diseases originated by
malaria are of far more malignant type,
than those originated by the same cause
i'll the temperate zone, it enjoys immense
and constantly increasing sales, and
there is no portion of this continent where
IT is not the reigning specific for miasma-
tic fevers and disorders Of the stomach,
liver and bowels, proceeding from mala-
ria and other causes.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.
LLANo, Llano Co., Texas,

Dear Zit:le-I am in the mineral re-
sions of Texas I left Waco on Tues
day last, 18th, on horseback, and ar
rived here on Saturday evening dis,
lance one hundred and twenty-five
miles. l stopped over night at Lam
passas Springs,the Saratoga" Of Texas,
where there are about fifteen hundred
visitors, the majority of them encamped
in tents, i'll grove of FIVE or six miles
in circumference. There are tive or
three springs of valuable mineral quail
ties, one OF which is remarkable for the
combination of Sulphur, Sulpb. Magne-
sia, and the Phosphates the first two
very prominent, so strong OF Sui
phur that it can be shnelled q bun
dred yards away, and covers space Of
about half an acre of ground, and makes
a considerable creek from its flow. The
other spring is not so large in circum
ference, but the boiling up of the water
throws up rocks and gravel in contin-
ual stream, keeping up volcanic com
motion. The flow is So strong in the
boiling motion that a man cannot sink
in it, but as soon as he reaches the cen
ter is thrown out. This spring is only
about one hundred feet in diameter, and
is also medicinal, being impregnated
largely with iron, the phosphates, and
also sulphur
Unfortunately the springs are owned
by man who will not improve them
nor give anybody else a chance to do
so, as he will only rent them by the
year.

Stay, gentle muse, just brief season
Leading my verse with sense and with
reason;
Pray let not my thoughts be imperfect
by haste,
But clothe them in sentiment, temperate
and chaste
Draw from old authors some wisdom
and fire,
To warm up my soul andrightly inspire
This effort to guide my mind in stream,
Whose current with crystals will bril-
liantly beam.
My subject is worthy in knowledge ad-
vanced,
| deal with 4 treasure with jewels en-
hanced;
So to fatter | dare not, but deal in the
truth,
And do Justice to one, yet so tender in
youth.
The "Star" that she wears fresh spark
ling in gold,
Is ali emblem of merit most worthily
In history an expert, i'll music complete,
Gifted by voice so harmonious and sweet.
In photography perfect, each letter cor
rect,
In rhetoric no error, the ear can detect,
Then wear with distinction that medal
and prize,
May your experience through life be
happy and wise.
In conclusion, kind muse l bid You adieu,
My sojourn has been most pleasant with
you;
We Reluctantly part, we dedicate this
lay,
With happiest wishes to Miss Nettie A.

Mr.. Editor-There seems to be
wonderful significance in a name, JE-
HOVAH MOSES MILTON. The first,
Jehovah, is the mighty Supreme. l
AM; immutable, irreproachsble incor-
ruptible. My second, MOSES-1 did
not expect my call to be answered SO
soou-the great LAW-G1VER, and
deliverer of his fellow-man from bond
age. Milton, that lyric poet who SO
feelinely tells us of our lost estate and
how we may regain it; is all embodied
in your Charlestown correspondent, }.
NJ NJ. lie first tells US he is an incor-
ruptible and ;rreproachable man next
he expounds the law which should gov
ern us as Changers, and his willingness
to deliver us if we obey his injunctions,
then oh. terrible retribution if wc-by
the perversion OF wicked men-run for
office as grangers instead as citizen far
mers.
lie then portrays our great fall from
the high and honorable position we &C.
cupied as farmers, by the willy allure
ments of the corrupt politicians who
have "wriggled their Shiny way" into
our order. Then most happy of all
Milton thoughts, "a Granger is also
citizen, and as a citizen it is his duty to
be active and jealous in public matters"
"but he must not, and he must not,
&c" he MUST make his race for Of
flee like "mechanic, or Doctor, or
lawyer" but he don't tell us how the
LAWYERS do to get in office so frequently,
so as to make confused and obscure
laws, that they may get pay for explain
ing them.
Mellowed by the severe castigation
which Jehovah Moses Milton, has adj
ministered to one of the chronic "Aspi.
rants" of the grange, he openly and
frankly tells US what he has so persist
emily done for our good. All Of which
| can now see and know is true ; for l
see his name is on ticket in your last
issue, gotten up by your Ripon cores
pondent, for the various State and coun-
ty offices, and it is an unquestioned
guarantee that he is a sound and -elia-
bic retormer, a man worthy OF our con-
fidence and support for any office his
fellow citizens name him fer. His bra
very and pluck in fighting the Court
House clique, his effort to arouse the
dormant powers of the 6re-side, are
matters-earnsstiy,I mean-that should
commend him to the favor Of every vo-
ter in the county, and especially for the
office for which he is named, "COM-
MONWEALTH ATTORNEY" he is
both constitutionally and by quallfica-
ton eminently fitted for the position,
and l confidently assert if elected
which | hope he may be-that he will
v;gilan,ly guard every interest of the
county. He is profound thinker, a
ripe scholar, and a well read lawyer.
He only lacks more extended and in
innate knowledge of hannah nature, or
rather that God gives TO men wisdom,
I knowledge and virtue, without the aid
of Blackstone, which from his stand
point is essential to qualify them for Of
