BE 4 MAN!
Dc Man! Stand erect! Never doubt or despair;
Though the Sun is crcas it is shining somewhere,
And svou, with It's genial and radiant light
Will dlsuerse the dark clouds and make the Earth
bright
For sunsnne and gloom, in Gods beautiful plan,
Are blessings to MIN who is alwaIs Nan.
Be Man to your friends, to your nciehbors, and
strive
Uy earnest and honest industry, to thrive:
If thrift follows effort, remember the poor,
And turn not the bccyar unfc1 from your door.
Obey God : injunction as ncar US you can.
AND, III every condition Of life, bc q Man.
De man to your wife, to Tour children, and God;
II lie send you alictlons ''pass under the rod ";
Submissive in all things, except to i wrong
Against this be stubborn, un. icldlng, and strong;
But, whatever God sends, be it blessing or ban,
Accept in all Kindness, and bear like Man.
Be Man TO yourself In the battle OF life,
Let not its temptations, its struggles and strife,
For an instactincne you TO swcrve from the right,
R,,I be stable, and conquer yourself in the tight.
With the brave and the good, always stand in the
van
Have faith in Gods mercy, and die like Man.

According to the general understanding, the two

WESTERN UNION.
The Indicator has information that the purchase
of 10 GOO shares Of Atlantic s. Pacific stock ut 20
some weeks ago bg the Directors Of the Western
Un,on was paid for by selling IL, 500 shares Of
Western Union and by borrowing 5000. 900 in
cash. This loan negotiated at 6 per cent, will be
repaid by selling II, 900 more OF the shares OF
Western Union in the treasury OF the Company,
and the present prices attractive that 1t is
proposed to sell out the entire block OF 81, 600
shares III the treasury.

Although our gov erp ment has received no
Cfficial advicts on the subject, there is rea son
10 believe that there Is some truth in the
report that the American flag has been hoist
ed at tmos and ale. lance rendered TO the
Uni ei States. Comm odore Wilkes, OF the
United States navy, surveyed the islands in
1883, and, by arrar cement with the native
chiefs, tOt K the han Dor of Pango Pango, one
OF the safest and best harbors in the Pacific,
un Ter the protection OF this country. In 1875
President Grant sent q special agent named
A. b. Steinburger to the islands, who repre-
scented that the chiefs were desirous that the
whole group should be protected by the
United States, but in 1S75 a native King was
elected, and Steinburger becams his prime
minister. The Samoan group, which in-
cludes nine Islands, embracing an area of
l,lZo square miles, and having population
of about 81 900, is located In the South Pacific
about 400 miles northeast of the Fejee ISL
ands- The islands are OF volcanic forma-
uon and are picturesque and mountainous,
some of the elevations being 5000 feet high.
Almost all the business of the port of
Apia, the largest town, is in the hands
OF Hamburg commercial firms, the exports
being ooppra, or the dried meat OF the CO.
coanut, from which oil is made aud cotton.
The Climate is represented as equable, the
the thermometer seldom rising higher than
&C. OF IaillDs lower tndu 10. Inc natives
are dark in color. with straight black hair
and thick lips. The nose is usually straight
and not hattened like that of the Malay, and
with some the eyes are oblique. While
Eominally Christians, and having schools
and a church ia every viIlags, It seems
strange that the missionaries, who are said
10 have unbounded influence, have been
unable TO break up the practice of pOlys-
amy which prevails among the natives
The annexation of these islands to the United
States might be very desirable Ia a COM
mercial point OF view, since the valley lauds
are said to be remarkably fertile and adapted
10 TIE culture OF tobacco, cotton, sugar, aud
fruits Of various kinds. The timber is also
said TO be very valuable. IL the question OF
annexation comes up We may expect to hear
the politicians inquiring how the natives
will vote al elections, aud how political rep
resentatio1 in Congress will be affected
thereby.

The attitude Of the republican party In

primary elections as TO secure a hearing for
me WOrklngmen there, and Thurlow Weed
and his friends say IL Will not do TO give the
cold shoulder 10 that element. The demo-
Gratis are also fishing for the workingmen's
