Once more let us enter the little cham Der. The blinds are open now, and the sunset light is streaming in. Archie lies in his crib, looking like little spirit, his mother thinks with half sob, as she watches his pale, wasted face with its halo of gleaming hair. But he is gaining strength daily, and will soon be running round, the doctor says.
 Closing the blinds, his mother takes chair beside him, and sings in low, gen. tie voice. In a few minutes he is fast asleep, and she slips away for awhile. She knows who is waiting for her below.

STRANGER THEN THE STRANGER. n-- At a theatrical dinner at Edinburg Sir Daniel Macnee said that many people went to theaters to have their feelings narrowed. It was peculiar pleasure, he supposed. For himself, he rather liked to be amused. He felt little like that old couple that went to a Dublin theater to have a nights amusement, The great Mrs. Siddons was playing Mrs. Haller, and the poor bodies were kept crying all the evening. At length, at one of the scenes where the great lady came in with her handkerchief again to her eyes, the old man could stand it no longer, and, starting to his feet, cried out, Ye long-nosed thaif, ye call this di- varshun!"

LOOKING GUILTY.-.-Looks count for nothing in some cases. Nothing can be more absurd than the idea that Hooking guilty" proves guilty. An honest man charged with crime is much more likely to blush at the accusation than the real offender, who is generally prepared for the event, and has his face ready made" The very thought of being sus pected of anything will bring the blood to an honest mans cheek nine times out of ten.

Diseases of Swine.

MT. Dodge. statistician of the depart. ment of agriculture, reports as the result of his investigation of the loses from dis ease of swine during the past twelve months the destruction of four million animals, of all ages, and money loss O more than twenty million dollars. One. fifth of the reported loss occurs in the state of Illinois. Next in prominence are Missouri, Iowa and Indiana, which, together, lose two million dollars Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louis jana have nearly as large percentage oi loss in numbers, aggregating in value a million and half dollars. The losses are very small in the country bordering on the great lakes and Pacific coast. Of the remaining districts, West Virginia comes nearest to exemption, and Ohio and the Atlantic coast states stand better than the alluvial districts The apparent loss is equivalent to one third of the sum of exports of pork products year.

 "But l have learned how the trick is done. I have seen the description of it given by a medium to another medium who desired instructions. The letter was in her own handwriting, and the whole style of it showed it to be genuine.
 "She informs her friends that she comes to the seance prepared with dress that is easily taken off with little practice. She says it may be done in two or three minutes She wears two shifts (probably for warmth). She brings a muslin veil of thin material (she gives it's name, which 1 forget) It is carried in her drawers It can be compressed in a small space, although when spread it covers the whole person. A pocket handkerchief pinned round the head keeps back the hair. She states that she takes off all her clothes except the two shifts, and is covered by the veil. The gown is spread carefully upon the sofa over the pillows. In this array she comes out. She makes very merry with spiritualists whom she thus gulls, and her language about them is anything but complimentary.
 This explains the whole business. The question so often asked before was where the robe could be carried. It could not be contained in the bosom or sleeve. Nobody seems to have thought of the drawers.
 Mir. Heme describes the trick. AS he has witnessed it, thus:

WHAT AN ENCLlSHMAN SAYS OF IRISH
MEN FIGHTING AS. MERCENARIGS
AND AS SOLDIERS OF FREEDOM.

1.-The Irish soldiers in the service
of France and Spain covered them
selves with distinction. Were ever
honored with the most dangerous
posts. In our own English ranks
they have formed half the strength
of our armies, and detraction has
never challenged their right to an
equal share in the honor which those
armies have won. YET IN their otc1,
country, IN THEIR EFFORTS TO
SHAKE OFF ENGLISH SUPREM-
ACY, their patriotism has erapoedted
in words. '-FRoUDE.
The Irish, when fighting under the
English flag, were successful because
they employed English tactics. These
English tactics are really the most
sensible and practicable:and the Irish,
if really in earnest-if they honestly
mean to conquer their rights-must
adopt toward the enemy the same
mode of warfare which the enemy
has employed toward them, and
which they themselves in the service
of the enemy have employed toward:
others. Yet nothing must be done il

THE WAR.

Nothing new. Russia moves on
ward slowly but steadily. She must,
of course. expect to meet with re-
verses, but the triumph awaiting her
is sure. There is some dash yet left
in the fanatics who fought under the
crescent, but the hand of Fate has
writ the doom of the Ottoman En-
pire. Left to itself another genera
ton, it would fall beneath the weight
of it's own rOttenness.

was the arbitress of Europe. Not a

held without her presence; not shot

She would like to take hand in now

Gov. TILDEN says he has no fear
of Presidential burdens. When a
correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Times asked him if he did not shrink
from the responsibility of governing
a great country, he replied. "No, it
doesn't worry me. I am saving
strength. l shall make it my aim
to do one great thing, and put the
smaller burdens ON those best fitted
for them. This Presidential election
is like a great battle, and the victory
can only be gained by the proper ac-
emulation and concentration OF

The Compromise Bill has passed
both Houses, been signed by the
President and is now a law. In
signing the Bill and returning it to
Congress, the President accompanied
it with a short message, setting forth
his reasons for his patriotic act.
He hopes the Bill will accomplish
what the people sincerely pray for,
a peaceable and satisfactory settle
ment of the rexed Presidential mud
die. We hope SO too.
The Electoral Commission will
consist, on the part of the Senate, of
Messrs. MORTON, EDMUNDs, FREL1NG-
HUYsEN, THURMAN and BAYARD, and
of the House, of Messrs. PAYNE, ABB
BoTT, HUNToN, GARFIELD and HoAR.

Bradley, Of New Jersey, will be Sc

satisfactory. They r both salts

contrary or what the remainder of

The st. Louis Times puts the pres-
ent situation of public affairs to the
business men of. the West in this
strong light: political bankruptcy
means financial bankruptcy. If the
Republic is to be brought to an end
so is business. Let business men
look to it. Political dishonor is sure
to end in financial dishonor. Those
who consent to the preparation of a
wrong invite all the evils that wrong
invariably brings in its train. An
anarchical termination of a political
contest leaves the result of anarchy,
whether it be submitted or resisted.
A Mexicanized administration
means the disorder and thriftlessness
of Mexico. If the fair thing be not
done, free government is a failure,

The following paragraph from a
speech of Aaron Burr when Vice
President, said to have been one of
the most effective pieces of oratory
ever pronounced under the roof of

ate to the present crisis:
This house is a sanctuary; a cit
adel of law, of order, and of liberty
and it's here-it's here, in this exal-
ted refuge-here, if anywhere, will
resistance be made to the storms of
political frenzy and the silent arts of
corruption; and if the Constitution

sacrilegious hands of the demagogue
or the usurper, which God avert its
