The air is filled with ..straws"
showing which way the wind blows.
Not an election occurs nowadays, no
matter how insignificant it may be,
but some mention is made of the
strength of the new party. A few
township elections were held in In
dianna, and California. In the for.
mer State the Nationals carried the
city Of Terre Haute after m exciting

contest. Although the vote was six
hundred larger than ever before, the
National candidate for Mayor was
elected. and other nominees of the
same party were carried in. In other
places in the State the Nationals made
good showing. In California three
cities were captured by the Working
men, the new party making a clean
sweep. In the towns where the
Worklngmen were defeated the old
parties combined against them, and
even then the Citizens ticket did not
make clean sweep. In these cleo
lions we see the discomfort of the
masses with the order of things i'm
posed by the old parties and the
dawn of a new era in our politics.
before long one of the old parties
must give way to the National party,
which will contest for the supremacy
IN National affairs with the remaining
one. Shrewd political observers, who
do not lean toward the new movement.
are forced to acknowledge it's strength.
The Springfield Republican says:
1.-The times are very propitious for
the growth of such movement.
Neither Of the old parties represents
anything; each is seeking to make the
coming campaign on issues which the
people have settled and put behind
them. This generation has never
seen time when party ties rested so
loosely. when so many Republicans
and Democrats felt comparative in
difference as to which party should
win. All the conditions are therefore
favorable for the rapid spread of the
new movement. Such tests as the
Spring elections have afforded give
grounds for the excepting that the
National party will be a very i'm
portant element in the Fall voting.
and IN some quarters hold the balance
OF power. Everybody in Michigan
was surprised at the sweep the new
party made in many parts of the State
at the township elections a few weeks
ago. Still more unexpected is the
strength which the Greenback party
has attained down in Maine. Polling
only about 500 votes for Governor in
1875, they Increased the number ten
told last year, and many good judges
are ready to accept their leaders
claim that they will cast from 20, 900
to25 900 next September. throwing the
election of Governor into the Ligisla-
ture. and endanger the election of
Republican Congressman in two Of
the five districts. The
people are IN no mood to 60 on fighting
campaigns over the constitutional
amendments or the frauds in Florida:
they want to see men in Congress who
will devote themselves to furthering
the development Of the country
future prosperity, instead Of still
trading upon its past misfortunes,
And if the Republican and democratic
leaders won't learn the lessons in any
other way let the National teach
them.

The other day General John NJ.
Buckley committed suicide at Mil

acting member of president Grant s
cabinet. and was one Of the leading
politicians of the country He was
an honest man and as such incurred
the hostility of the Whisky Ring;
and the result was they crushed him
out. robbing him of place. power,
wealth. wife and life. The terrible
story is thus told by corresDondert
Of the Chicago Times:
When Andrew Johnson became
president he called Geu. Buckley to
the position Of assistant attorney
general of the United States; the aged
Henry Stanbery being the cabinet
officer. After little the ilI-health
Of the attorney general prevented his
performance of his official duties. and
Gen. Buckley became acting attorney

cabinet. It was while Gen. Binckley

The Children.

No home with young children in it
should be without its 90 children's hour. !"
The hour after supper can not be used
to better advantage, even by the father
and mother, than to give it up to "get-
ting acquainted with the children. :"
Play with them if that is their
mood What zest it gives to their mer-
riment if papa shares, or better yet,
causes it, Or if stories or quieter games
are desired, how happy and profitable
may be the hour spent around the table.
And then, what a famous time for the
little ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to ask ques-
tons, knowing that they will not be put
off by pre-occupatiOn or the plea OF a
lack of time.
The children will grow away from
their parents wonderfully fast if there
are none of these sympathetic bonds to
hold them together If you can not
spsre more time, mothers, take OF a
little part of the hour and reserve 1t TO
accompany your little ones to bed. Lit
tie fve-year-old Golden-hair and eight
year-old Charlie viii get a eomposure
and happiness which shall launch them
into sweet sleep, from chapter read,
or a story told to them after they are
snugly put away in their little cribs.
Scarcely any thing viii extenuste send
ing children to bed grieved, or unhap-
py or angry. Patience is hard; childish
freaks and outbreaks, and even the ex-
uberance of the blessed healthful spirits,
are trying; but GOODNESS, and petulance,
aud selishness, and unhappiness are
worse. Have you ''children's hour"
in your daily home calendar? If not,
suppose you try the experiment OF set
ting one apart.

There is g remarkably strong con-
trast this year between the rain falls in
( Kansas and west to the mountains and
the Missouri and Ohio Valleys. In Mis-
souri,, Southern Illinois, Kentucky and
eastward to the Alleghcnies, since June,
there has been a deficiency in the
amount of rain, while from Eastern
Kansas to the Rocky Mountains 1t has
been greatly in excess. Evidently a
great climatic change is taking place on
the great plains. For fifteen years after
the first settlement of Kansas and Ne
braska, every year the crops suffered
more or less for want of rain. Indeed,
so characteristic was this climatic fea-
ture that the soubriquet Of "droughty
Kansas was applied to the region. For
the last eight or nine years the crops
have not suffered for want OF rain, but
often from excess of it The Upper
Mississippi Valley since then has expe-
rienced likewise remarkable change IN
the increase in numbers and frequency
of cyclones. think it is within limits
to say the latter have increased five
fold since then. 1t is a significant fact
that the number OF the earthquakes IN
California in the same time has de-
creased in the same ratio. But the most
significant fact is that the commence
ment of this change is synchronous
with the extension of telegraph and rail-
road lines to, and across the Rocky
Mountains. Is it because these iron
lines conduct electricity from the noun
tains, the natural discharging points on
the earth, the lessening frequency of
earthquakes there, and distributing 1t
where demanded under the clouds tray
ersing the plains, forming more fequent
and violent rain storms than formerly?
This is my notion; and when the cleo
trio agency in the formation of
clouds and storms is once conced-
ed, it will then be seen that change in
climate as far as rainfalls are concerned,
is the natural and inevitable result. Last
autumn, soon after the completion of
the telegraph lines from Texas across
the Staked Plains to the Rio Grande at
the foot of the Mexican Cor6illeras, |
predicted change of climate not only
on the Staked Plains, but in the terrific
nv east and northeast of them. SO far
this prediction has been verified by the
unusual quantities of rain in the Gulf
States, the Indian Territory and Lower
Arkansas. But it is not my purpose to
inflict a lecture on meteorolOgy upon
your readers, at least not during the
cheated term. PROF. TIce, IN The 50.

Sharp Shooting.

There is a piece of rcck standing on
the ridge running up the South Noun
tain at Egan> Canyon. One morning in
1868 an Indian was discovered standing
by this rock, calmly surveying the scene
below, and particularly the overland
station to the west, then garriso ed by a
number of soldiers. He was So far of
that he enjoyed the excitement pro-
duced by his appearance, and made a
very significant gesture of derision and
contempt for the soldiers. One of them
determined to reply to his salutation,
and fired at him from the station with 3
rife, and, strange to say, with wonder
full accuracy of aim, shot him through
the head. His remains were buried be-
hind the rock on the mountain; and in
1873 his skull, disturbed in some way
from its resting place, was exhibited
among the miners at Egan as relic OF
the war and of the disaster which over
took the Indian, who was ignorant of,
or conceitedly despised the virtues OF
long range. It was shot of nearly
1000 feet.-Chsrry Cresk (Nec.) hide
