Demaxogry.

The single frantic desire, the sole
yearning purpose, the one thing for which
the average American politician forrets
his food by day aud lays awake o. nights,
is to raise the downtrodden workingman
from penury to afiluence, from toll to idle
ness. The people should beware of this
species. None should shun it more than
the workingman. He knows, or should
know, that schemes for his betterment by
legal definitions Of compensation, kind and
quality of work and time of labor are
nothing but organized idiocy. Legislation
cannot overthrow natural laws. There is
no royal road TO wealth or anything clsc,
but everything must be gained BY toll.

A regiment quartered at certain town
in Scotland had among them an expert
gymnast, who taught his brother subal-
terms how TO walk across the barrack- room
on their hands. While engaged one oven
Ing the door opened and the Colonel, a
stern disciplinariAn, entered the room,
looked attentively at the inverted com
pany, shook his head grsvely and departed
without uttering word. An order to be
ON parade next morning WAS the least
pupishment expected for this breach of
discipline. Some days passed, however,
and no notice being taken, it was thought
an apology and explanation should be
offered by the prime iustigator Of these
pnsoidiariy movements 4 reference
being made to the memorable night tho
Colonel amazed the intended apol6Eis, by
explaining: Hush, Sergeant, i would not
have anybody know it for the world. The
fact is, had been dining out with an old
brother officer, who had served with me in

them. Gray, drnb, cream. brown, and 1aWu

There are rough-deeced camel's-hafr cloths
third of an inch thick. yet Of light weight, for
warner weather. They cost $50 T. yard in
stylish shades, OF cloth width (which is forty
eight fnches), and can scarcely be distinguished
from the heavier camel'5-hair cloths sold at $40
q vard. Basket-woyen cloths with checks OF
various sizes are from 1880 to 81 yard. Fine
Scotch cloths in gray mixtures are Si.50. The
most stylish OF all arc the quadrille patterns Of
blocks, bars, or dice-checks, made OF finer twill
and more glossy than the broally-twilled
ground. The American twilieal cloths are soft
aud pl;able, cost only S250a yard, and though nat
yerY heavy, they rival the Scotch and French
goods in appearance. These will be made up In

attitude regarding the border question was
taken with the view OF sustaining bis per-
sonal dignity before the Mexican people.
He courts the good disposition OF the United
States towards himself personally, and would
apparently agree with pleasure to anything
proposed by the American Government.
The suspicious tenor OF certain newspapers

moderated, and the same journals now
mildly approve OF his good intentions and
point out the advantages Of his admins

CITY OF MEXICO, Mex, August Con
the 22d Of July the premiums awarded the
Mexican citizens at the Centennial Exnlbi'
ton were distributed at the Theatre Nacio-

nony, and there was much enthusiasm,
and MANY illusions made to the good rela'
tons existing between Mexico and the
United States.
The excitement on the border question
has subsidized. 1t is reported that arrange
meuts have been made for the payment TO
the United States of the next instament q

Four of Lerdo's generals, named Loya,

their services to the Diaz Administration.
The offers were accepted, and the generals
have been assigned to high commands, and
peace reigns throughout the Republic.
