No Republican need fear to insti
tute q comparison between the record
of General II. NJ. Hoyt, the Repub.
lican nominee, and Andrew II. Dill,
the Democratic nominee for Govern.
or Of Pennsylvania. In the fra,
place, General Hoyt is thoroughly q
Pennsylvania. lie was born in
sight of extensive iron works and
coal mines, and is naturally the friend
OF these great interests. Mr.. Dill
was born 10 Maryland, and as la;e as
1860, one year before the war broke
out, was a citizsn of Huntsville, AL
ALBANIA. General Hoyt has never re-
sided outside of his native State.
When the war broke out in 1861, he
wa active in raising the SD Pa.
Regt and entered the army as u
Lieutenant Colonel. He remained
in the service MI the siosa of the

The rue value of salt for feeding
to animals is neither "a well under
stood nor appreciated as it should be
by a large class of farmers, and the
best mode of feeding is too frequent
ly ignored, even when its importance
is fully admitted. That it is actually
required by animals, is shown by the
amount of salt contained in the blood
of the human species, it being fully
one hall of one per cent, and 57k per
cent. OF the ashes of blood. lnvesti-
CATION has proved that where salt
is supplied with the food, this pro-
portion is invarlable, and were not
supplied, other parts of the system
must supply the deficiency, to their
injury. What is true of the human
species is equally true Of our farm
stock and animals, which suffer the
same troubles when deprived of salt.
When the equilibrium Of any part is
disturbed, the whole system is weak
ened, and the animal becomes liable
to disease, and the system succumb.
when attacked.
Salt is q great aid to digestion,
and the natural instincts of animals
prompts them to its use, as is eyinc-
ed by their restoring 20 salt ticks and
other Latural sources, previous TO
and during the early settleEspt of
our country, and by what may 10
still witnessed at the present day on
The pampas of South America and
other wilds, where herds Of horses
ard cattle travel miles 10 obtain from
natural sources a much needed sup
ply. Ii ID &C undoub.ed fact that
where animals have pnrestrained ac-
cess to salt al all times. gapy of the
diseases to which they are Liable are
warded of and prevented by keep
ing The system regular. We 6nd
that when salt il regularly given
them only good results follow, as is
eyinced in their exception from dis
ease. Where free access is bad 10
salt, stock will take only what is
neediul, but where the supply ia in
constant, a surfeit is often taken
which frequently operates i%ujuri-
ously.
The invariaoie presence Of salt 10
quantities in tissues OF lbe body
shows conclusively the important in
9lence which it exerts in the produc-
ton of aesh and fat in animals. Salt
assists digestion by increasing the
Cow of saliva, aiding alRo farther By
promoting thirst, aud q consta,t flow
OF fuids, 10 assist in dissolviDg much
of the food which otherwise might be
only imperfeetly digested. Actual
experiments, carefully conducted,
have demonstrated that where two
hogs were fsttened, one fed salt in
it's food, and the other with salt ex.
cluded, the one fed salt food fstted
very much faster, aud 10 several
weeks Jess time. 1t exceeded in
weight by a considerable proportion
the one fed without salt in its food.
1t is an unquestioned fact that all
cur food products contain a lager OF
less proportion Of salt in their struct.
ure, but that the snimal economy -e-
quires an additional quantity, is
equally true. Farm animals, when
kept on grass, or on green succulent
feed, naturally take more salt than
when kept in dry fodder at least
such has been my observation

A strong government.

A commercial journal Of high re-
pu:e, in discussing the dangerous
theory Of. a strong government makes
the following allusion, which de-
serves attention:
There is but one method .f treat
ment that makes these epidemics Of
political opinion dangerous ; and that
is TO threaten them With suppression.
And it is the supreme folly Of this at
tempt 10 renominate General Gran.
for the Presidency that il commits
just that error. Taking into account
the knowing Purposes Of bis friends,
his nomination is equivalent to meet
ing the agitations Ct the working
classes ~i.h the threat of the sword.
This may seem extreme language ;
but we utter it deliberately, and
knowing that the x-President's sup
porters anticipate the possibility Of
an emergency in which q man Of his
temper may be needed. 1t is time
that public attention was seriously
directed to this reckless trifing with
the present sensitive condition Of
politics. Neither party politics nor
the state of feeling among the mass
es are 10 q condition to make chsl-
lenges to force harmless. The nomi-
nation Of a class President ,and be con-
spicuous for his predictions for the
sword, would be to apply the match
to q mass If combustlble material
that might too easily burst into an
pncontrollabl cohasgration. The
school boy ststesmen who r abet-
ting such q course have 8 very i'm
perfect comprehension Of that pa
tienee and medication and elasticity
of policy which becomes those who
aspire to conduct q republic through q
temporary conflict OF class interests.
Their threat, should it unfortunately
find expression in the nominating
convention, would add infinite ag-
~grsvatiol to all the nation is now
suffering. 1t is to be hoped, howev-
er, that tie cooler heads of the par ty
may persuade these leaders out of
the dangerous folly to which they
now stand committed. We had hop.
ed that the country might now cease
from violent party ag.talions aud de-
vote itself to q harmonious develop
meht Of its neglected resources; but
If this threat be inausaratrd 4 W.
lutionary movement in pllI.cs is to
be persisted in, all such hopes must
give place to forebodings of grayer
troubles than those from which we
are escaping. Let the people reject
all leaders who loose faith 10 the Re-
public the moment complications
arise that call for the exercise Of pa
tience aud prudence. 1t will be

Yesterday occurred the happy end.
ing of Q long and weary waiting on
the part of . lady Who was once the
fairest Of the fair daughters Of Tole
do. Eleven years ago she was be-
trothed, with her parents consent. to
g young man of fine character, bul
without what is considered the most
desirable of possessions next to that,
namely, money. Hesitating to take
mis- beloved one from her home to th
trials that poverty entails, he bade
her farewell to go West to seek bis
fortune. She had letters from him
until be arrived in Omaha, when
they suddenly ceased. The days
wore into weeks, the weeks into
years, but still no word from the alb.
sent one to the expectant girl, who
waited and watched al 10 vain. His
friends gave him up for dead, but
she. with 3 womsn's persistency, re-
fused to think 50, and declared her
belief that be would sometime return
to claim his bride. Suit0rs came
and went, her eyes became dim from
weeping. the roses faded from her
cheeks. and g,adually Withdrawing
from the scenes she had graced with
her presence, her very existence was
almost forgotten by society.
Two weeks since, while sitting
alone in her quiet parlor, the bell
rang, and in q moment more the
door opened and q gentleman entered
the room. The bronzed and bearded
man had little resemblance to the
slender youth to whom she plighted
her truth 30 many long years before,
but the eye of love could be deceived,
aud 10 a moment more she was clasp
ed in the arms of him for whom ste
bad 81 long watched and waited.
His story was soon told. Leaving
Omaha with IN emigrsnt train for
the Pacific coast, it was attacked by
the Indians. and be was taken pris-
oner and carried away far into the
interior. Every effort TO escape was
futile, and be was passed from one
tribe to another, getting farther away
from civilization as the months rolled
on. At last, fortunate chance, he
managed to deceive bis %jailers, and,
after incredible hardships, reached
San Francisco, three years from the
time be left Omaha. Here be en-
countered an old acquaintance from
Toledo, who, 10 answer to his inquir-
les about the dear ones there, told
him that his betrotbed was the wife
of another. Stunned and heart-bro-
ken, be made no attempt to commuu-
icate with any one here, and was not
undeceived until a few days ago,
when, on a visit to San Francisco
from bis inland home, he had again
received tidines through an old neigh
Dor that sent him homeward as fast
as the cars could bring him hither.
The %denouement was what might
be expected, and this morning the
happy pair started for their return

their friends, including those of the
