The incontrovertible testimony offered

have seen them advertised ? or can you
doubt the ingenuity and skill required in
their invention9 Again, would you re-
fuse to insure your house because the
company advertised that it had paid mil

Blaine Unhappy--A storm Brew.
.,,.-.- H.. lNR.t -----.

Senator Blaine does not seem pleased
over the postponement of the extra
session. 1t will be remembered that he
had charge of the Army Appropriation
Bill in the Senate last session, and he is
accordingly the direct representative Of
the Republican majority in that body, in
consequence of which he wrote 10 the
President in March, urging an early call
of Congress, in order that the session
might not be pushed into the hot
months, and expressing the belief that
there was no way to meet the issue in
regard to the army but to submit it
again to Congress. No attention was
given to the subject until the Govern
ments Of Chamberlain and Hampton
were got rid of. The final postpone.
ment was brought about by Secretary
Eyarts, whose recent trip to. Albany
made it plain to him that there was
trouble brewing for the Administration,
and that as the Southern Democrats
were not showing any disposition to
help out the President in his antagon.
ism with the Radical Republicans. there
was nothing To do but to gain time and
trust to events to get rid of the storm.
Every mail brings signs Of growing dis
affection One of 4he most prominent
members of the Cabinet said. within a
day or two that lie was not satisfied,
that the mass of the Republican party
was not satisfied with the President s
course, but it was too late now to reme-
dy the mischief, if any had been done,
and there was nothing to do but to
make the best Of it.-Rashington Tele.

Speaker Grosvenor of the Ohio Leg
islature is profoundly convinced that
the President is liable to come to grief
by attempting "bogus Civil Service
REFORM" .whichfignores "old, time-scar-
red Republicans" and gives official
nourishment to men whose only certifi
cate is that "ihey howled for Greeley
and reform in 1872" From which it
would appear that Mr. Grosvenor is an
"old, time-scarred Republican," who
lacks official nourishment."
Yes, and the Speaker is "profoundly
convinced Of another thing and that lie
that Col. PooRMAN, a Greeley man, will
take the place of JoE KEssINGER as
Collector in this District, which no
one will mourn over as being "bogus
Civil Service REFORM" unless it be an
"Old. Time Scared Republican," and

peasant and his wife and four children,
while travelling in a sleigh along the
banks of the Pruth, were pursued by
a pack of wolves. The peasant urged
on the horses, but soon saw that the
wolves were fast gaining upon him. AT
the moment when the sleigh was sur

man seized one of the children, threw it
in the midst of them, and while the
wolves were struggling over their prey,
he FASTENED on his horses and gained
ground. Four times the wolves came
up with the fueitives, and four times the
horrible sacrifice was completed. AT
last the peasant and his wife arrived al
the nearest village, leaving behind them
the bones of their four children. In The
