4 We have heard not a little bluster and
self-adulation about the mastery over the
subject Of the Silver bill, sbHa few of our
citizens. Some Of those who did not see
the necessity of studying up" the bill,
have been badgered with slnrs and insinua-
tions about their indifference and timidity.
In every case, we believe, these profound
researchers, come to the same conclusion
that the bill was surreptitiously smuggled
through Congress. This has been used to
unfavorably affect Gen. Garfield and his
election. 1t is, perhaps, a pity to upset and
destroy all this comfortable complaeency,
but the facts drawn from the of1cialreport
of the proceedings of Congress upon that
bill-its demonetizing feature with the rest
ARE clearly against this conclusion, and
show that the bill was deliberately and
openly passed as almost any legislation of
the country. 1t was before Congress two
terms, and read and printed with all the
amendments, and passed through the reg
ular stages Of passage, In support of
this the proceedings are explicit, and if the
references were not so numerous they
might now be given to establish. beyond
cavil what is. here affirmed, Instead of
bondholders or their agents being the real
movers Of the bill, as has been intimated,
the godfather of the act was Mr.. Senator
Jones, of Nevada-who was interested deep
ly in the silver mines of that State. So

Gaging Democratic strength by litter
aey and ignorance, is not a very new idea
in a general way, for We have always heard
of the darkest places in the land, reeking
with Democraey. This is 50 true, that We
may pick them out, O1e by one, by wards,
townships or States. or by class distinc-
tions and natiyities, noted for their ignor
ance, and you may without failure put
them down as Democratic. Gen. Conway,
however who spoke at Oberlin on the 2Sth
ult., carried this idea to.a mathematical
demonstration, and showed that illiteracy
was the only hope Of the Democracy. lie
illustrated it in this way: Georgia and
Alabama are hopelessly Democratic, be-
cause fifty per cent. of their voters are il
Iiterate. Ohio viii give Republican ma
jority because her lliterate. voters only
amount tosix per cent. Iowa is yet more
surely trusted for Republican majority,
because nliterature constitutes but five per
cent. Of her voters, and in Maine 1e, 900
majority was possible because her illiterate
voters only compose three per cent; of her

BRING Our EVERY VOTE.-Every Republi-
can vote must be got out this fall No
business transaction, no puble or private
engagement mus be allowed to intefere
with voting. This must be eoAsidered a
sacred obligation TO be kept as all Harards
and under all Circumstances. The loss of
a single vote may give State to Democra-
cy. The loss of a State may lead to the
surrender of the Government to those who
have plotted its overthrow. Republicans
must work as if on one vote depended the
salvation Of the Republic. The lukewarm
must be aroused to activity, the doubters
must be convinced by the presentation OF
facts. every friend Of the country must be
enlisted in the great work Of defense. The
signs Of the times indicate Republican
victory, but our friends must remember
that the result depends upon the work se-
complished If the work is thorough the
triumph will be complete.
The frmness of the Senate at the last
session of Congress prevented the sweep
ne away Of an important barrier to frand-
ulent voting in the city Of New York, as
mentioned by Mr.. Garfield, in his speech
on the park. There is provision of ma
tional legislation for an impartial super
vision of the registration, election and
count Of votes. This supervision is
performed by two officers-One from each
political party-appointed by the u ;.
Court. They simply exercise a due degree
of watehfulness, and take the necessary
steps to detect and punish fraud. But the
Democrats are foes to this kind of watch
fulness. as in all voting matters, they like
the largest freedom. The effect of this su-
peryision the Democrats clearly fofesaw
when they tackled on practical repeal Of
this wholesome provision to. the sundry
civil appropriation bin; but the Senate
gave them to understand that they would
sit out the year if necessary, before they
would consent to repeal. The result was,
the Democrats coved, and the provision
remains in full force, and Mr.. Tlden's
Tamnsny suffers and repeaters are held
in check. The frmness of the Senate is IN
amusing contrast with the sensitiyeness Of
the Democrats. These fellows never feel
the halter draw, with good opinion Of the
law" LII u -. -

Book Learning.

Charles Francis Adams, Jr., has writ
ten letter to the Quincy Patriot on
the subject of the education derived
from the reading of miscellaneous books.
Mr.. Adams, who is one of the trustees
of the public library Of the town, says
that four. fifths of the book education we
have is acquired from miscellaneous
reading. Schools and school teachers
have nothing to do with it j; but it is
homo acquired. He considers the read
ing of books, in itself, the poor mans
university. In referring to circulating
and public libraries, and the kind Of
literature in most demand, he says that
three-fourths of the demand is always
for the most vapid and sensational
book. In closing his letter, he says ::
Most assuredly, parents ought not to
turn their children loose in any library.
In our library there is now no excuse
for their SO doing. Before the cata-
logue was published they might have
excused themselves on the ground that
they had no means of selection and the
catalogue was prepared with that very
consideration in view. It was intended
to lay open to any person sitting in his
own house the whole contents of the
library, Tor his own use and that of his
family it is in fact put at the disposal
OF every resident of Quincy an almost
complete collection of the standard
works i'll the nguage, for all practical
purposes, just as much at his disposal
as if he owned them. It put the library
into the dwelling houses. Under these
circumstances, it was hoped that great
improvement would be noticed in the
character of the books called for. How
far the hope has been justified I cannot
now say, but there is certainly yet great
room for Improvement. The great ma
jority of the books borrowed are bor-
rowed by young people, aud still, ap-
parently, unassisted in their choice by
any one. ] am very confident that q
competent trustee, who could give his
whole time to the library, and do moth.
ing but examine and purchase new
books, and advise those who come there,
especially the young, what to read and
how to read it, could be much more for
the higher education of Quincy than is
done through the whole agency of our
high school; nor in saying this do I
mean to say anything derogatory to the
high school either. This we cannot e1-
pect. We ought, however, to be fairly
able to expect now that parents and those
engaged themselves in the work of edu-
cation should realize what q large part
in the work miscellaneous reading plays,
andso try to give some direction to it. I"

A Female NimrOd.

A Canada letter describes the extra
ordinary hunting exploits of NimroG
in petticoats, who has lately been as
tonishing her neighbors by her bravery
and endurance. Four years ago Mrs.
Williamson, who is said to be q bright
looking, neat, lady-like woman, below
the medium size, conceived an idea that
it would be q profitable business to
capture young moose and rear them uu-
til they became of salable age. In the
season of 1873 she, with her dog, made
her first hunt for them, and after one or
two unsuccessful tIips, during each of
which she travelled from daylight to
dark over a distance of from twenty to
thirty miles, she succeeded in capturing
two, and triumphantly returned home
with them. The next season she cap
tured three, and the past season five.
When about five months old, they have
all been sold. The Indians have say
ing respecting moose calves we'll illus
trating their rapid development in their
powers of locomotion, which is: Gone
day old, it takes man to catch them :;
two days old, it takes dog to catch
them three days old, Satan can't catch
them" As an illustration cf the kind
of stuff Mrs. w. is made of, it is said
that last season as she was travelling
through the forest unarmed she saw an
immense wildcat, which her Cog drove
to the top branches of high tree,
where he apparently felt safe. Mrs. w.,
after vainly endeavoring to dislodge him
with stones and sticks, proceeded to
climb the tree after him. Resting on a
branch below him she tried for some
time to cudgel him, which only served
to make him growl and make move
ments as if intending to spring on her.
However, she at last got square blow
Mt his head, which stunned and brought
him to the ground, where the dog
speedily put an end to him. Shortly
afterward a beautiful cat skin was
brought to town. Before the law against
moose killing came into operation Mrs.
w. shared ten large moose, and it was
not an uncommon occurrence for her to
take her gun and shoot eight or ten
partridges at trip.

The Wealth of the RothschiIds.

1t is stated by an eminent foreign
publicist that the wealth OF the Roths-
childs has reached the enormous sum of
$3, 400, 600, 900. In mentioning this fact,
the London Times says The signifi-
canoe of these stupendous figures may
be rudely conceived by comparison, but
there is nothing in the history of private
wealth with which they can be com
pared. The capital of the Barings, the
estates of Lord Dudley, the Marquis of
Butte, and the head Of the family of
Grosvenor belong relatively to a
humble category, to which the city of
New York has contributed the fortunes
of Astor, Vanderbilt, and Stewart. The
financial resources attributed to the
Rothschilds can best be measured by
contrasting them with the funded debts
of the richest countries on the globe. 1t
will then be found that the capital of
this house, as estimated by M. Burnouf,
is about equal to the whole funded debt
of Great Britain or that of France, and
considerably exceeds the national debt
of the United States.

A London Trick.

The Atest dodge in London, where
the water supply is not yet permanent,
is the following A scamp enters n

water company to see that all water is
Immediately drawn from the cisterns.

vanishes, after ordering all fires in the

A Masonic Joke.
Nevada has population of 50,540.
Utah has one GENTLE to five Nor

One of the most amusing develop
ments which have been made in Boston
came to light not long since. A local
paper says: It appears that French
man, Charles Lagarliere, has formed an
Masonic lodge among the
"boys," and has run the affairs Of the
lodge to suit himself. He asserted his
right, as worker in the Scottish Bite,
to organize lodge entirely independent
of the Grand Lodge of Boston, and
having found two or three to help him
in his plans, succeeded in making fifty
three persons believe in his pretensions;
He initiated the men into various " de-
grees" for fee Of $40, but the charter
which he promised to supply did not
come. Differences arose between him
self and the brethren, and finally, ON
suspicion of being an impostor, La
garliere was arrested and held for trial.
It is doubtful how near correct the man
is in his claims, but that he is not wholly
Ignorant of the secrets of Masonry seems
evident. The members whom he ini-
tiated assert those of other lodges re-
cognized their signs, grips and pass
words as all right. Lag arliere says the
whole affair is conspiracy, and he
will expose the miscreapts of The Grand
Lodge in his statement in court.

Business Views In Boston.

The Boston Globe has been having
talks with several business men, and
says the opinion of all thus far seen is
that the centennial year is to be a much
brighter one in business circles than the
past. Although few look for a great re-
vival, the feeling is general that there is
to be steady Improvement for the bet
ter. That the people generally are ex-
amining their affairs, and giving their
earnest attention 10 learn how to do
business as we'll as live within their
means, and to avoid driving ahead on
"luck in the future as too many have
done in the past, is considered as one
of the best signs of the times. A promi-
nent dry goods merchant of keen OBJ
servation and long experience says ::
"Let business alone it will levive if
every one who has work to do will do it,
and mind his own business" He was
aware, of course, that there had been,
and in fact is still a stagnation in bust
ness and the principal cause of this
was the illegitimate method of conduct
ing business, by too many nowadays,
both public and private. He thought
much of the stagnation in business was
due to this endless croaking, this growl-
ing about what the rising generation is
going to do. "Talk about failures, he
said, "why show me one of any amount
in the dry goods trade. There have
been fewer failures in the dry goods
trade the last year than for twenty five
years back" The dry goods business
was never on better basis than during
last year, aud it never was on better
basis than it is to-day, for prices have
touched the bottom and were never
safer. He thought the centennial
would bring trade from abroad. The
tide of travel next year will be this way
and not to Europe, and of course if the
Europeans come here they will leave
some money.

Dear love, I feel your face
Close, close to mine, though we are far apart,
And seas between throb like some wicked
heart;
Itpurifies the place.

Now in, now out !; some angel it may be
Bearing blessed memory to me;
And bright at eventide.
Those stars, which are my fanes,
Your deep, deep eyes shine IN my lonely
room,
Gliding the airy castles of its gloom,
And glittering on its chains.
I know that you are true;
These are not baselees images see;
Perhaps your dreams are reaching out to me :;
As my heart yearns for you.
Dream on, though years 60 by
Rise not, sweet love, from the unworthy
theme,
Let me be ever pleading in your dream,
And you dream on for aye.
