The Socialists,

The Socialists are part and parcel of
the Communistic element which is threat
ening our country with disorder and rev.
olution, social, religious and political
The religious press is doing its duty in
exposing the character of this orpaniza-
ton. We find the following articles in
our exchanges:
From the Gospei Baaner.l
telegrsphic report from Chicago. on Friday

socialists IN that city, supplied with firearms and
nightly drilling. The account does not state

The ice dealers in New York, says the Gardiner
journal, are continuing to play their shrewd little
game. Last winter, when they wanted to discour-
age the storing of ice on the Kc nnebec, they used
to write us, that there was an abundant crop on
the Hudson. Now, their tactics are exactly oppo-
site. They have got short crop, out of which
they expect to get just as much money, as though
it had been full one, and for this purpose, are
filling the papers with accounts of their short crops
and with the tale that no ice can be bought-and
drawing the very evident moral that they must
rise on prices. Now what the facts Ice can
be bought on the Kennebec for 81 rs per ton, and
freights are only Is cents to New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, and ice can therefore be laid
down in either of those cities for $500 per ton,
save the wastage The superior quality of our ice
as compared to any other they get, would more
than compensate for the waste of shipping 90 that
our ice can be delivered in any of those cities at
price corresponding to not over two dollars for
their local ice Add fifty per cent. for delivery

accomplishment of tn, r destructive ends and the
revolutionary views propagated by associated
clubs of the same character IN San Francisco,
give a very sign iicant intmation to the char
acter of our later European importations. Crowd
ed out of Europe, they find too ready refuge in
our larger cities, and poison the social atmos
phtre with their atheistc and chaotic doctrines.
The Nation quotes from the London Times a
shocking account OF the burial Of the noted
socialist Heinsch, in Berlin, Germany. His coffin
was followed by 10000 men and women, wearing
red ribbons and flowers. They smoked as they
went 10 he grave, and stopped, from time 10
time TO drink beer over the cemetery where the
commu mist and atheist was bur led, was inscribed
There is no he reafter, aud no meeting again.
There is no East, lor these people The eulog lst
of the dead advised all true socialists to follow the
example of the departed and be good haters, es-
peclally OF everything connected with the Chlis-
tan faith.

A Victim to Circumstances.

MT. Darwin might turn to some &C., count story which is told in the Ger man papers about the manner in which an intelligent dog adapted himself to his condition. A Adeaf-and-dumb lady living in German city had as companion 8 younger woman, who was deaf and dumb. They lived Tn a small set of rooms opening on the public corridor of the house. Somebody gave the elder lady little dog as present. For some time, whenever anybody rang the bell at the door. the dog parked to call the attention of his mistress. The dog soon discovered, however, that neither the bell nor the barking made any impress sion on the women, and he took to the practice of merely pulling one of them by the dress with his teeth, in order to explain that some one was at the door. Gradually the dog ceased to bark alto gether, and for more than seven years before his death he remained as mute as his two companions" When expres- sion by sound was useless, it fell with him into absolute disuse.

A Female Hermit.

Among the mountains of Nevada has lived for fifteen years a woman of sixty, or thereabout, native of Massaehu- setts, who seems to be perfectly con. tented, and who says she would not re- turn to civilization on any account. She is hermit, and known in that region as Mother Dildine. She will have no asso- citation with white people, but she ap- pears to like the Flutes, and Indians generally, who are much attached to her, regarding her as a medicine woman. They perform many kind offices for her, and she gives them advice which they count as valuable. Her sole means of support are number of hens and about 200 Angora goats, whose eggs and wool she sells or exchanges for necessary ar- ticles. Repeated efforts have been made, but to no purpose, to pluck out the heart of her mystery. She steadily refuses to answer any questions about her ante cedents, and she says that she avoids the whites on account of their curiosity. The story goes that she was once hand some and lived in Boston, where she married lawyer, who emigrated to Cali fornia in 1S49, and after awhile sent for her. She went there and lived happily until he deserted her, leaving two chil- dren whom she supported until they died. Years after she was married again, and her second husband proved de- faulter and committed suicide. Then she went to Nevada and became her init. She is reputed to be we'll educated, and appears from all accounts to be a Timon in pettlcoats.

Lower Level Love.

A Colorado letter says: :: Both are rich, and have spent many seasons at Saratoga names, Willie and Minnie. The mother says they have been engaged to each other since childhood; that both have been reared with care and tender ness, and though she does say it, both are well-born," and that the wedding ceremony will soon take place. They live in the city of Boston. The follow ing conversation took place between them in my hearing:
 Minnie-I don't like mountains they are so-so big and dirty. Do you, Willie dear? ...
 Willie-No, indeed, Minnie, I don't. Great, awkward, uncouth things, and are so-so much in the way, too. But when left Boston Uncle Charles told me Imust take you up on top of Pike's Peak.
 Minnie-Oh, Willie, do you think would ride up there on vulgar mule = the idea is so absurd-no, never, never Willie shall faint
 Willie-Oh, dear Minnie, don't faint j; l will stay down here in this sweet valley until the others return.

A Desperate Resort.

Modern playwright, on the watch for new sensation, could hardly ask one more dramatic or more dire than the catastrophe that happened at sea the other day, on the African coast. Two dozen boats full of Greek sponge fishers were getting water at Mandrouka, when Q party Of Arabo triea c A4-..i-S t1-~--- r..J tribute of money and food for the privilege. They were driven off after a bloody fray, with their ammunition gone; but just then contraband seller of powder came on the scene with his vessel. The fishermen hurried to him, and got his promise not to sell powder to the Arabs till after their own depar- ture next morning. He gave the pledge, but then, reaecting what good thing he had lost, broke his word, and landed few barrels at midnight. The fisher men rushed aboard his vessel, voluble with reproaches, and, it is said, struck him. The enraged trader drew his re- volver and fired into his powder bar rels, when terrible explosion tore to shreds the vessel and all on board. Of the seventy Greek fishermen that so perished, fifty-fve were from the Isle of HaIkis; the others were mostly Rhodians and sailors from Calymnos. One might fancy that an accidental or ill-aimed shot fired the vessel but the more pal pitating theory is the one contained in - the Athens (Greece) Messenger. already given.

A Characteristic Californian.

A man named McNulty died recently in California who had been rich and poor, it is said, at least twenty times, dying poor at last. He had been very shrewd and enterprising, but somehow he could not keep fortune after he had acquired it. An example of his sudden conception and execution is mentioned at Sacramento, twenty-five years ago, when the entire business part of the town was burned. He was then wealthy, and owned many of the largest stores there. As he saw his property vanish ing in flames, instead of grieving over the disaster, he went to the nearest livery stable, hired fast horse, mounted him, rode all night, and before nine o'clock the next morning had bought every foot of lumber and every saw mill at Grass Valley and Nevada City. He gained another fortune-making four times as much as he had lost-by the sale of his lumber so suddenly contracted for. It was eminently like an American to ride off by the blaze of his burning houses into the night, and turn his ca lamity literally into cash. A man of such fertility of resource ought to have staid millionaire but his inability to do so is only another illustration that the capacity to get money is entirely differ ent from the capacity to retain money after it has been got. McNulty's char. acter was one that is not at all uncom- mon in the Republic, especially in the West
