THE NATIONAL PARTY.
The Wonde rfuI Growth in Pennsylvania
New York, Maine. New Hampshire,
illinois and Michigan.

\ Cape May correspondent of the
New York Tribune says: Cne of the
most remarkable and alarming fea-
lures of the National Greenback
movement is the early activity and
persistent diligence of its leading
men. Every Pennsylvania with
whom / have talked, whether be a
Republican or Democrat. has borne
witness to the early activity of the
Nationals in the section of the state
in which he resides. Prominent Demo-
Gratis say that they anticipate more
trouble frOLi it than from the Repub.
licans. and l don't think those with
whom l have conversed felt very san.
guine Of success. l believe. in fact,
that they would not be much disap-
pointed if a Greenbacker shonld<be
elected to congress from the Alleghe-
ny district. The same activity Of the
Nationals is mentioned by gentle
man whom / have met from the oil
regions and the northern tier Of Penn
sylvania counties. When l was in

Nationalist speakers from that city
were over in Pennsylvania, holding
meetings in country towns. and, l WAS
told. had been engaged in this work
for months. In Chemung county,
New York. the Greenback party be-
gan its work Immediately after its
victory in November, 1877, and has
been at it ever since, not only at
home but in the adjoining counties
of Pennsylvania. The Nationals say
that their growth in numbers has
been rapid and uninterrupted
throughout that whole section, and
there can be no doubt that they will
exhibit very great. perhaps unexpect-
ed strength at the polls. The resi-
dents of the coal regions whom /

The wisest men of the old parties
say that there is plenty of money in
the country. and that if the people
have anything to sell they can get
money. There are several hundred
thousand men in this country who
have labor to sell but they can't sell.
and consequently they starve and suf-
fer. There are thousands of farms
and homes. which the owner would
like to sell to pay off the mortgages
on them. but can't do it. Manufac.
turers would like to sell their goods,
but can't do it, although the people
need their goods. The sheriff is the
only person who can sell property
readily. but the trouble with him is
that he always sells at . ruinous sac
rifice to the debtor.

MACMAHoNs ADDRESS.
Each president Of . group assembled the
estrade and received from the Minister Of
Agriculture a book containing catalogue
of the awards. This portion Of the cere-
mony being over the Marshal arose and
read his address, in which occurred the
following passages, that were most enthu-
siastcally cheered:-
"when the government Of the Republic
convened the savans, artists and mechanics
of oil nations to meet in our capital, France
was Just emerging from period of painful
strife, and her industry had not escaped the
force of that vast commercial crisis which
depressed business throughout the globe.
Yet the exhibition Of 1878 has equalled, IL
not surpassed, its predecessors. Let us
thank God, who, to console our country,
has permitted that this great and peaceful
glory should be reserved for it. We may
declare these happy results with profound
satisfaction, because in our idea the success
of the International Exhibition rebounds
to the honor of France. But it does
not become US simply to encourage
art and exhibit the improveme ents made
with regard to the various means
of production. We have been able, in .

their cash cost"
How about the looping off of their
four branches to st. Louis, Memphis,
Vicksburg and New Orleans %
We greatly desire the connections
with these important commercial points,
but we are willing to accept the pro-
visions of the bill as reported from the
house committee"
Whence comes our chief opposi-
tion?'
" From the owners and controllers of
the Central Pacific railroad company.
Not that they expect or intend to Conn
plete their southern line, but because our
line if completed will come into compe-
ton with their northern line, and COM
pei them to carry the commerce of the
country at less exorbitant rates, and cut
their profits TO a corresponding degree"
Yes, but may you not, otter the
completion of your line consolidate or
pool earnings, as has been done by other
lines which were originally competitors 7'
The bill as reported by the house
committee prohibits, under penalty of
absolute forfeiture of our franchise, from
consolidating or making any combination
with any competing through line now in
existence, or which may hereafter be
constructed. Besides, should congress,
as it reserves the right to do, fix the
rates of commercial traffic, we could not
exceed those rates, directly or indirectly,
without mourning same penalty"
Was this provision contained in the
original bill introduced st the instance
OF your company
" It was; and if this feature is not
now sufficiently expressed and guarded
we challenge such amendments as will
place it beyond the power of the com
pany to make any consolidation or com
bination with any other line that will
thwart the purpose of making US essen
TALLY an independent competing high
way OF commerce across the continent
" How do you expect TO succeed il
congress in the face of the anti-subsidy
resolution recently passed by the hous'
by stch an Overwhelming majorityY"
The aid we ask from congress is in III
sense subsidy. We do not ask dolla
from the treasury nor bond from thu
government. The truth is, we relinguisl
the land subsidy of Is, 0Oo, 900 acre
heretofore granted by the government il

"RADIX," in one of his recent New
York letters, makes good point apropos of
life insurance Investigations and troubles
generally, by calling attention to the faliaey
of Judging of the reliability of companies
according to their bulk. Many such insti-
tutions seek to dazzle the public eye by
printing their large gross assets IN the heav>
lest type and by laying great stress upon the
nominal millions under their control to win
confidence and prevent any close analysis of
the whole statement. He points out the plain,
but Often-sOrgotten fact, that even conced-
ing the equally good quality of the assets of
two companies, it is not necessarily the one
with the most millions which is safest for
the policy holder, but the one whose net
surplus bears the largest ratio to its whole
property. Judged by this sound and search
ing principle, " Radix finds the Etna Life
Insurance Company, of Hartford, to be one
of the strongest, if not the very strongest,
institution of the kind in the country. With
little over twenty.four millions of assets, it
has about four and a quarter millions of
clear surplus. The special commission ap-
pointed Ey the Legislature of Connecticut a
yearago, to investigate all the life insurance
companies OF that State, say of the 1EtDa
that it is "nOt only solvent, but financially
sound, and under the management of offs
GERS and directors of large experience, sound
! Judgment and unblemished character, and
entitled to the entire confidence of policy
holders and the public" Taking the above
| facts and this official Endorsement together,
II is evident that this writer's estimate of the

! indorsed

Young Girls,

Our young girls do not understand the
witchery of bright eyes aud rosy lips, but
set off their beauty by all the artificial
means which lie in their power, never
rejecting that by so doing they destroy
their principal charm-that of innocence.
The rounded cheeks, the bright eyes, the
waving hair of a girl in her teens need
only the simplest setting. Rich fabrics
and sumptuous adjoining are more fol-
the matr0n, her dress gaining in ample
bold and graceful sweep as she puts on
the dignity of years. The seasons teach
us something here, if we go to nature for
an object lesson. How different heI
charm from the deep, maturing summer,
when the hues are decided, and the all
is loaded with perfume from thousand
censers. The schoolgirl is only on the
threshold of summer. She has not cross
ed it yet. Let her copy the sweet grace
Of the spring on her graduation day, and
discard artifcialty for nature.

receive their gold and silver separately
at standard purity, 900. Pure metal is
also sent to the Assay Office from the
various refineries to be alleged. From
United States refneries silver is generally
sent IN large bars or cakes; and e small
amount of Mexican metal is received in
thin, irregularly shaped pieces called
disks. The fumes from the watts and
furnaces in the Assay Office are con-
densed and sold as weak acid. Only q
small amount of the gas escapes into the
atmosphere, and although it Is slightly
offensive it is not injurious. On the
contrary, this gas is an excellent dis
infectant, and acts upon dead matter
rather than living. The same precau~
tons are taken to prevent loss in the
Assay Office as in the great minis. The
ashes, the sweepings from the floor, the
crucibles, and all the Instruments which
come in contact with the precious
metals are washed and ground il a

A ResuIE of Obstructed Digestion.

Among the hurtful consequences OF OBJ
structed digestion, is the impOverishment of
the blood, and since deteriorative condi-
ton of the vital fluid not only produces
dangerous organic weakness, but, according
to the best medical authorities, sometimes
causes asphYxia, it is apparent that to
improve the quality of the blood by promot~
ing digestion and assimilation is wise pre-
caution. Hostetter's Stomach Btters is
precisely the remedy for this purpose, since
those bilious and evacuative irregularities
which interfere with the digestive processes,
promotes assimilation of the food by the
blood, and purlfes as well as enriches it.
The signs of improvement in health in con-
sequence of using the bitters are speedily
apparent in an secession of vigor, a gain in
bodily substance, and a regular and active
performance of every physical function.

rrouble with tho Farmer.

Under the above heading the Rural
World says:
"Working at business without being
educated for it is the cause of the hard
life of SO many of our farmers. It seems
to be prevailing idea, not only among
the other trades and professions, but also
among the rural people, that farming is
business that requires no education of
any kind to carry it on, but that any
educate m IN can, if he has strong arm
and good health, and will strike fast all
the days of the year, shsw that he is the
right man in the right place. A more
fatal and foolish error could not possibly
emanate from the unthinking world. OF
all the business men work at, of every
profession students educate themselves
for, there is no vocation which requires
such constant thought and study as
farming. The lawyer, the doctor and
the scientist have an easy task beside
that of the farmer. They can graduate
in their school and master their profess
sion. But life is not half long enough
for farmer to finish his education. His
school is perpetual and permanent, and
the more he learns the more he Rnds there
is to learn. Common ounces can be tu-
tored for passable actors In some pro-
LESSONS, but only the strongest minds and
most thoughtful students can attain
that degree of mental culture evil
denced by a systematic, skillful and
scientific farmer.
