1t is fashionable to growl about the heat.


AS soon as the mercury mounts to the
nineties the grumblers revel in the salts
faction of being miserable themselves and
making their neighbors miserable by I'M
ceasing lamentation and exaggeration.
Are these abnormally -blooded people
to whom the high temperature is especially
uncomfortable Not at all; when the first
frost comes they will be found bowling
just as bitterly about the cold. Before
any body else is vexed with heat, they find
it uncomfortable. and before anybody else is
troubled by the cold they begin to CON-
plain of the rigors of Arctic winter. Are
they exceptionally thiu-skinned? Do they
suffer more than other people? By no
means; it is merely their way OF express
ing gratitude for a climate which they
would not exchange for any other on earth.
For there are glorious regions of equable
temperature, where the mercury scarcely
varies twenty degrees the whole year
round; where neither heat nor cold is ever
| oppressive; and where the chronic
grumbler might lie in luxurious ease,
bathed in perpetual balmy spring. Why
do they never migrate thither? Long be-
fore science came with its reasons and
proofs. human instinct taught that the
equable, luxurious climate produced only
indoent and neryeless races. No nation
great in commerce, industry, or battle,
scarcely a man great in war or peace, has
ever come from the lotus-eating lands o.
unvarying temperature. Sharp changes
only nerve and harden the human frame
for tasks of physical or mental endurance
Our alterations of heat and cold operate
as constant stimulus to strengthen the
system, and give it snap and elasticity

all history, the footsteps which echo dowr
the corridors Of time come not from race

us of one of our greatest merits.

Why Pratt is Unpopular.

Senator Patterson of South Carolina
called upon Commissioner Pratt the other
day and asked that certain official in his
state be removed iu order to give way to
tavorite of his selection. But said
Mr.. Pratt, "the gentleman whom you wish
to remove is q good, faithful officer, in
whom | have implicit confdence-a man
who is very useful to the service in the
position which he now holds" To this
Mr.. Patterson replied that he had no poit.
zeal influence, and that the man he had in
his mind eye would be of very great SER
vice to the party. Mr.. Pratt's reply was
simply 10 take down the Cincinnati plat
form and to read to honest John Patter-
son that section of it relating to civil-ser-
vice reform. Patterson laughed outright
at this and said'That is very good, but
you don't mean to make practical appli-
cation of the rule do you' Certainly
says Pratt, 1t is a doctrine which l be
lieve." Said Patterson, Didn't you know
that these platforms were simply gotten up
for fools who hang on the outskirts of par
ties? Do you think | am id fool enough
to take that as any good reason why you
should not appoint this MANI Com
missioner Pratt replied that he could think
as he liked about it. 1t was his idea and
the proper rule that should govern
officials in the selection Of subordnates,
and he proposed to follow it so long as he
held office. This will further explain
Pratt's unpopularity with the president.

Rev. Robert Laird CoIlyer, of Chicago,
comes out for Tilden and has made a
speech to illustrate the hypocritical cry
of reform in the Republican party He
said:
4 great many years ago on one OF our
southern rivers there was an old skipper
who had steamboat which was sailing
in shOaly water, and got stuck in the mud.
She swung around 10 the water and there
was no chance to get her ahoat, do what
| they would. He was a terribly profane
old fellow and everybody knew it through
the country Suddenly an idea struck
| him. lie saIi to one Of the deck hands:
you 80 up town and tell them | have
at religion, and that | want them to come
down to hold prayer meeting on board. ]"
! The deck hand went TO town and spread
the news around, and every one beng in
terested in the conversion OF the old
| skipper, went down to hold the prayer
meeting. The old man was standing ready
to receive them, aud as they came down,
he said to every man, go aft, and they
all went aft until there was great weight
on that end and the end which was in the
mud got loose and the boat foated off
As soon as she foated off the skipper said:
The meeting is over, jump ashore, d-n
you" Great laughter. In our Repubii-
can party-I mean those leaders-there
are men who get religion every time
there is going to be an election. Cheers.
They say, Gentlemen, go aft,go aft, and
we go aft.
The promises of the Republican polili
clans are like the religion of this old skip
per. The people don intend to trust The
fellows who get religion just before cleo
ton, and will not go aft with them any
more 1t is time to change rulers.
