How two forces neutralize one an
other is often seen in natures opera
tons. Heat and cold produce warmth.
Acids are neutralized by alkalies, and
thus we find the two editors of the Co.
lad Guard; one. blowing hot, and the
other, cold; one for Schleicher; the
other for Ireland. Their forces Of will
and genius neutralized one another,
and the Guard looked solemn and silent

was SILENT as the grave. Meanwhile

condition Of sffAirs and these singular
relations of the twin editors have
caused the people Of GoliAd to read
with credulisy the story of Damon and
Pythias, and never again will they
suffer the people Of the town to rest
upon such an explosive basis. Goliad
looked on with terror. watching the
paper and its editors. even while the
election progressed. II Is over now.
The editors are happy and GoHad is
blest in perfect repose.

THERE is more truth and philosophy

THERE is more truth and philosophy
and prophetic wisdom in the append
ed statement, made by John Bright,
than has fallen from the lips of all the
party-lcsders in twelvemonth. The
unity of the nations must be az hieT.d,
and John Bright points the way.
America as well as Europe is involved,
and it requires no gi:t of prophetic
ken to foresee the approach of the day
when the worlds nations shall consti-
tute one great household, each having
for a time its peculiar tongue until
commercial and social intercourse will
break down this barrier, and then we
will discover the uselessbess of costly
armies and kings AID of countless gov
ernments and then the sun will rise and
illumine with becoming splendors that
condition of cur race OF which good
people speak as the millennium. Mr.
Bright says:
The situation of Europe at this mo-
ment is deplorahle; its nations are
groaniDg under the weight of enormous
armies and burdensome taxation. They
are at the same time disjoined in inter
esta and sentiments by tariffs, which
form an insurmountable barrier be-
tween the peoples of the different
States, and prevent that reciprocity of
interests which would make it imDOs-
sIble for their statesmen to drag them
into war. How caa wars be avoided
and standing armies dissolvedl This
is the great question for Europe, and
for every nation of Europe. To my
thinking, the directest wsy-I was 60
ing to say the only way-to this great
end lies In free trade between the pee
pies of Europe. II tariffs were abol-
ished, or even if they were made very
moderate, the nations would trade
freely with each other, their commerce
would increase enormously, and they
would bit by bit become one grand ma
ton, their commercial interest would
multiply on such scale, and their mu-
tual knowledge and intercourse would
become so intimate, that the ambition
of monarchs and statesmen would be
impotent to drive them to war.

THoUGH 1t be proven by incontesti-
BILE evidence that Jefferson never wrote
and Calhoun never said and Clay
never dreamed of sentences affect
ing fiat money ascribed to these
philosophers and statesmen, Green
back organs persist in publish
ing the alleged EXTRACTS" from
speeches and writings of the great
men of old times and Greenbackers are
thus made deliciously happy. Now
that the election has defined its results
and this "bosh" can have no practical
results, a decent respect for honesty
and decent opinions of mankind should
compel the removal of this standing
matter from the columns of honest
Greenback organs.

IT seems that Col. Norton is steadily
coming to the front. He carries the
Republicans in Grimes, Rusk, Harri-
son, Marion, Gregg, Brazorla, Mata-
gorda, Nacogdoches, San Augustine,
Fort Bend and Waller counties. In
several of these counties Col. Norton
has large msjorities over the other can
didates. He carries more counties
than Hannah. The boiling Demo-
Gratis and boiling Republicans voted
uniformly for the renegade Hsmman,
while the great body of the true and
intelligent Republicans stood firmly by
the President and Norton.

RIGnT or wrong, true or false, wise
or unwise, fellow must always swear
that the party is right and its csndi-
dates the truest, bravest and wisest the
world ever saw. The party-leadeIs and
whippers-in and consumers of public
plunder love such a newspaper, but
the people will not have and will
not read and will not believe it.
Therefore the unlimited success of free
thinking, trutE-.elling newspapers ev-
erywhere, and therefore the wretch
ed poverty and impotency of I'M
wavering sand blind party organs.
They are all dying and not one of this
class of newspapers will survive
the century. Every yea, a fresh
crop of such organs is planted
by freshly chosen candidates and
by disappointed masters of rings and
cliques, and within year the reaper
death mows them down. The people
cannot be cajoled into the support of
an organ OF opinion which has no
honest, unbought opinions, and which
proposes to do the simple bidding of,
clique having money to expend in
in auguratln9 their power with the
multitude. A paper to win must
represent no set of men. 1t must
have necessarily many bitter, un-
relenting enemies, exasperated be-
cause they cannot use it or bend it
to their wishes or make it subseryient
to their selfish purposes. But the num-
Der of newspaper births, as shown by
the Baltimore Newspaper Manual,
grows enormously just after the gener-
al elections. Chagrin, spleen, wound
ed vanity, defeats and triumphs, all
contribute their funds, which melt
away like Northern snovflakes IN Aus
tin sunlight.

THE river and harbor bill as finally

houses appropriates $S,5OO,0OO, which
is an increase Of about 81 ,OOO, 900 upon
the amount in the bill as first passed by
the house. The bill Mas only slightly

only $4,000. In the house, Mr.. Cox,
Of New York, and in the senate, Sena-
tors Conkling and Whyte, opposed the
passage of the bill in its existing shape.
Mr.. Cox opposed it because he consid-
cred it extravagant. The senators ar
gued that it was unconstitutional, be-
cause it provided for river improve
ments that are merely local. OF the
$4,000 eliminated by the conference
committee, $4,000 were for the i'm

Good Times.

The Shoe and Leather Reporter sees
good times ahead. 1t says Peace and
plenty we have had before, though
never a peace that gave more promise
of being enduring, nor plenty in such
variety and profusion as to embrace
nearly everything that is derived from
the bounty of Providence or the ingenu-
ity Of man. Nature appears to have
been busy beyond her wont in replacing
the treasu consumed in the strife Of
war, and amid the illusions produced
by false system. of finance. The bene-
fits ACQUIRING from these expanded
sources OF wealth have been distributed
among the multitude. The industrious
and frugal are coming to the front, the
adventuresome and speculative are be-
ing driven to the rear; the chances of
the few to accumulate large fortunes,
suddenly, are din,ishing; similarly the
opportunities of the many to acquire a
modest competency by steady and per-
sistent effort are on the increase.

Feeding the Animals.

The feeding of the animals in me-
nagerie is always carefully done, because
their lives depend on the adaptability
of their food. The Philadelphia Times
says that the daintiest eaters in the Zoo
logical Garden are two chimpanzees.
They breakfast on weak tea, with plenty
Of milk and sugar, and bread thickly
spread with honey. They lunch at 10
O'clock on bananas and oranges, dine at
3 on rice or tapioca served with sugar
and sherry, and sup at 7 on rice and
milk. The seals are less troublesome
to feed, but more expensive, for five Of
them eat daily eighty pounds Of fresh
fish. Formerly the lions, tigers and
other carnivora were costly. but of late
they have been fed on horse meat.
which is very cheap. The buffaloes,
deer and elephants live now on the grass
in the grounds. The rhinoceros is the
greediest of the lot; but it is quantity
that he Graves, without much regard to
quality. He will eat $50 pounds of hay
every day, and bushel of potatoes is
to him like plate of strawberries to
hungry man. His food costs $40 q
week, which is as much as that of an
elephant. The giraffe has to be fed
carefully, because he has no regard for
his long, narrow throat, and starts one
mouthful down before the one before it
has reached his stomach, thus choking
himself. Common monkeys eat nearly
everything that is offered them; so do
the ostriches and cassowaries; but some
of the insectivora have to be patiently
catered to. The moose is the hardest
to please, and misses the twigs of his
native woods.
