REDUCTION OF PRICES 70 SUIT THE
TIMES

The elections of 1877 over, to con-
oress will all eyes turn to witness the
course of political events in America.
Questions of vital interest are press
ing for settlement, ana the discussion
bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects of finance, paciti-
cation, internal improvements, civil
service reform, Indian and Mexican
border troubles, &c, are among those
which must largely occupy the public
mind. The proper development of
| the of the West and South,
by means of an improved condition
Of river and railroad transportation
tacilities-the utilization of unenl-
ployed labor in needed public works
THE encouragement of Immigration
to the fertile lands of the great
West, are matters of nation, as well
as of local concern. Scarcely less inn
pOrtant is the support of all meas
ures, by w~homsOeFer originated, aid
ed ur Endorsed, giving to the South
ern states q full and free control of
their own atlairs-the only policy
leading to permanent peace. The
state legislatures. especially those to
elect United States senators, will also
be invested with interest, as upon
them and the elections of 1873 will
devolve the decision as to whether
the reins of political power shall OH
tinue to be held by the Republican
party, the tenure Of that powe now
hanging by but IL slender thread.
Upon these and kindred subjec s
the Republican, which gives an earn
est advocacy to the principles oil the
constitutional Democracy, will always
be found battling in the ranks of the
thinking, working people Of the West
and South. And whilst sparing ne
effort to obtain and prOmulgate the
most reliable information relative t.
! American politics, the Republican
will maintain its past reputation tol
the collection of all important ant
interesting news from all quarters o
the globe. Affairs in the Eastern
hemisphere, now occupying SO mucl
at .ention, will not be omitted in thu
: design of making this papera regular
chronieleI of the exciting intelli
gence of the day; and whatever ell

do will be employed to produce

The lake was less than ten minutes

Chow perfectly ridic ulous-just as if
that was possible. But don't lean over
in that way, Evelyn. If you upset the
boat the lake is deep enough to drown
us, even if it doesn't go quite to the
other side of the world"

arrived at the edge of the lake, plunged

AN Irish review says that in Dublin
society the professional classes are every
thing and the commercial classes moth
ing; that wealthy tradespeople are al
ways persistently endeayoring to gain a
social footing in Dublin, but are sternly
resisted by the "professionocracy," that
no seamstress works SO hard as the wives
of rich Dublin traders trying to fight
their way into the charmed ring of
lawyers and doctors.

the floor, jumping upon it with his heavy shoes
until, he sad. not 8 joint OF the poor woman was
