Don't Crow too Soon.

From the Chicago Tribune nth.
We must warn our Republican friends
not to crow too loudly before they are out
of the woods. A few days ago we had a
conversation with prominent eastern
politician who knows Judge Bradley s
make of mind perfectly well. His dag
nosis OF the judge corresponded exactly
with the following from Redfeld's letter
to the Cincinnati Commercial:
The fear that the Republicans have is
that Bradley is an intensely legal man,
If | may use the term. even more legal
than Republican, and that he will not
hesitate to give the presidency to Tilden
if the technical points should be in his ia.
vor. The case of Oregon has been cited,
and the fear is expressed by Republicans
that Bradley would not hesitate to defeat
the popular will in that state if the ma
iesty Of the law was upon the side of the
Tilden elector commissioned by Grover.
And this is now what the Republicans
| fear most, and, in fact, about all they
fear. don't mean the Oregon case 10
particular, but Bradley's general habit Of
/ tracking the technical points of the law to
/ he very letter, fet follow what will.
/ These persons fear that Bradley is more a
lawyer than Republican. and the Demo
Gratis fear that be is more Republican thar

rhe COMING Evangelists.

From the Anamosa (Iowal Journal we
clip the following in reference to the work
of Graves and Leland in that city. PRO
gress of the gospel work. such spiritual
refreshing never before seen in this COM
munity, the revival becomes banquet
ing house of reconciliation-an overlooking
attendance of all classes of people, and
rich returns in every direction, thus the
columns descriptive of the meetings are
headed. Then follows:
ITO use an expression more forcible
than genteel. Anamosa has been stirred
| from Strawberry Hill to Dublin, by the re-
| ligious work uEder the conduct of Messrs.
Graves and Leland. Its results have been
beneficial In every respect, 1t has proven
| to be direct appeal to many of our best
citizens, and been the means of introduce
ing peace and harmony where this desira-
BILE condition of affairs never before existed
| Mr.. Gravess public and private words
were as apples of gold in pictures of silver
Mr.. Graves is possessed of that sturdy vi
gor OF thought, that strong horse sense, as
| the phrase goes, that characterized Johr
Bunyan, and which appeals more conyinc
Ingly to the reason and cuts closer to the
heart, than any flow of silvered periods
He is fearless, honest, earnest WORKER
and if his work elsewhere bears compari-
son with what he has done in Anamosa, his
name deserves to be written in letters o
gold on the topmost pinnacle Of the tenn
| pie of remembrance
The meeting tomorrow morning, III a

INTERMITTENT FEVER Is so common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools aud agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the griGdstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
