The Republican party of Pennsylvania, adj

ciples heretofore often affirmed, declares:
Fr6t-That it is uncomprOmislngly opposed

people and should he reserved exclusively Tor
actual settlers, 50 that the industrious poor
may De encouraged and aided to enter upon
and occupy them.
FJih-1'hat we are now, as ever opposed to
the payment of claims from the National
Treasury to those lately engaged in or

1ne Boy VINO Wanted a Drink.

The Burlington Hasokeye fiend, in des
cribing a recent railway Journey, says
Moreover, ! saw the boy who wanted a
drink-a restless, questioning, uneasy,
th irsty boy. He let the window fall on his
fingers before the train had gone a mile.
He stood out on the platform until he was
eucrusted two inches deep with ashes and
dust and cinders. He went to the water
cooler and go drink then he came back
and told his mother be was hot, and went
back and got another drink. He drank
about four times per mile, seldom oftener,
unless be was suddenly seized with an un-
comfortable spasm of thirst. IL be was
drinking and somebody else came after
drink, the boy would suddenly seize the
cup he had just sat down and refill it, and
| drink as though he had wrapped his
stomach in the desert of Sahara, glaring
suspiciously over the top of the cup at the

When be was III his seat he watched the

get up and move toward the water cooler
he wonld jump up aud race for it. If he
got there first, ne would drink and snOre

| what he went down there for. People be-
gan to wonder how much the boy was
| gauged for aud if he wasn't rather strain
| ing his capacity. The remotest hint OF
| suggestion was sufficient to send him 10
the cooler. When the train ran over a
creek, the water made him think of his
thirst. When it ratified over a long stretch
of prairie, the absence of water drove him
mad. I was afraid the supply of water

"Tayloring," and that his patterns are all
from the Eastern cities and only three
