Springer says the Democrats must
give up New York, New jersey and
Connecticut in 1880, and nominate a
candidate who can carry Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois. This illinois jump
ingjack makes the most egregious
blunder Of his life if he thinks Ohio
and Illinois can be easier carried in
the next campaign than the first three
States mentioned. The "Ohio idee /"
has worn pretty thin. The Democ-
racy must first get up some other issue
than Southern supremacy at any cost

Northern State in 1880.

This Sarsaparillais is combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
elficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so efectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun,
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superi,
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

The Worlds Borrowing.

Borrowing was done OH grand scale
in 1877. A Belgian statistician has
compiled a list of the issues made in
various countries in the world, and sets
down the total amount as 81, $50, 975,
600 against 1925, 900, 900 in 1876, and
$3.50. .OOO. 900 in 1875. OF this enor-
nous amount, 81, 154, $50, 600 was bor-
rowed by governments, national, State
and municipal, and the balance by rail-
way and industrial companies and in
stitutions of credit. The excess of the
worlds borrowing last year over that Of
previous years was mainly due to the
conversion loans of the United States
The French loans have amounted to
1916, 600, 900, over two-thirds of which
have been issued by railway and indus
trial companies. The large loans OF
Russia were paid chiefly in the paper
money which the government itself had
issued.

The London Dust. Man.

There are more than 800, 900 inhabit-
ed houses in London, consuming more
than 8, 500, 900 tons of coal year, and
besides the ashes from this great guam
tity of fuel, the dust-man gathers the
other refuse of the houses. He is em-
ployed by contractor, who agrees with
the corporation to remove the ashes,
etc., out of the city, and the contractor
divides every load into six parts, as fol.
lows Soil, or fine dust, which is sold
to brick-makers for making bricks, and
to farmers for manure brieze, or Gin
ders, sold to brick-makers for burning
brick rags, bones, and old metals, sold
to marine store dealers old tin and
iron vessels, sold to trunk-makers fer
clamps bricks, oyster and other shells,
sold tor foundations and road-building ;
and old boots and shoes, soil to the
manufacturers of Prussian blue. Some
times much more valuable things than
these are found, and the readers may
remember the romance that Charles
Dickens made out of a London dust
man-Our Mutual Friend. 1t is in sift-
ing the different parts of the load that
the men, women and children are EN-
ployed they are busy as ants mere
babies and wrinkled old danes take a
part in the labor, and all of them are so
covered with dust and ashes that they
are anything but pleasant to contem-
plate, though, as a rule, they are use
full, honest, aud industrious members OF
society. " Dustie" is what the Lon.
doners familiarly call the dust-man, and
only few know in what ignorance and
| novarfv he lives One wOuld think
that he would work himself into bet
ter occupation, but his family have been
dust-men for generations, and the gen
erations after him are not likely tC

My lady walks her morning round,
My lady's page her feet greyhound,
My ladys hair the fond winds stir,
And all the birds make songs for her.
Her thrushes sing in Rathburn bowers,
And Rathburn side is gay with flowers;
But neer like hers in flower or bird,
Was beauty seen or music heard.
The distance OF the stars is hers
The least Of all her worshippers,
The dust beneath her dainty heel,
She knows not that see or feel
o proud aud calm she cannot know
Wberoer she goes with her 1 go
o cold and fair she cannot guess
kneel to share her hounds caress
Gay knight beside her hut and hawk.
| rob their ears OF her sweet talk
Her suitors come from east aud west
steal her smile from every guest.
Unheard Of her, in loving words
Igreet her with the song Of birds,
reach her with her green-armed bowers,
kiss her with the lips of flowers.
The hound and are on her TRAIL
The wind AMI uplift her veil;
AS il the calm, cold moon she were,
And l the tide, 1 follow her.
As unrebuked as they, share
The license Of the sun and air,
Aud in a common homage hide
My worship from her scorn and pride.
Nor look nor sign betrayeth me
| serve her in my low degree,
Content in humble ways to prove
He serveth well who serves for love.
And still to her my service brings
The reverence due to holy things
Her ma den pride, her naughty name
My dumb devotion shall not shame.
