THE TRUE DOCTRINE.

That able paper the New Haven
Union after going over the Official
returns of the Greenback-Na tional
vote at the late election which foots
up over one million votes. says:
This certainly does not Indicate
that the National Greenback party is
on the decay. Two years ago *
polled 4 total vote III the United
States of $1,000. This vote is now
exceeded in two States and is nearly
reached in two others. The increase
is over eight hundred per cent. Il is
no. in the least possible that this vote
will decrease IN the event of the
necessity of running a third ticket
in 1880. 1t is certain to increasey
not at the ratio of the past two years
perhaps. but still very largely. There
is perfect organization now, skilltul
leaders. an able press, and u respecta-
BILE representation in the halls of leg

go forward with redoubled zeal, and
this is never failing in its results.

IN A NUT SHELL.

Old Tecumseh Sherman has some
times talked nonsense-but few men
that have not. But the following
which we find in a speech to the
Pioneer Press is so much to the point
on the veNed Indian question that
we reproduce it:
Gen. Sherman in an interview has
the following TO say upon the subject
of the transfer of the Indian bureau
to the war department. about which
there promises TO be such a bitter
fight this winter: .'Such Il transfer
would entail great deal of extra
responsibility and care on the army.
and consequently it is not desired.
The whole matter, however. rests on
this proposition, either the Indian
must come to the war department or
the army must be turned over to the
interior department to protect the
Indian bureau. The protection of
this bureau is not the sole duty of the
army. as is claimed by the interior.
Such protection is simply an incl
dental duty Of the army. The present

RAIN.
BY EBENEZER JONES.

More than the wind, more than the snow,
More than the Sunshine, love rain;
Whether it droppeth soft and low,
Whether it rusheth amain.
Dark as the night it sprealrth its wings,
Slow and silently up on the hills;
Then sweeps DER the vale, like q steed that
springs
From the grasp of a thousand wills.
Swift sweeps under heaven the raven clouds
flight;
Ard the land, and the lakes, and the main,
Lie pelted beneath the steel bright light,
The light of the swit-ru :hing rain.
On evenings of summer, when sunlight is
low,
Soft the ia n falls from opal. hued skies
And the flowers, the most delicate summer
can Snow
Are not stirred by its gentle uprise.
It falls on the pools, and no wrinkling it
makes,
But touching, melts in, like the smile
That sinks i'll the face OF dreamer, but
breaks
Not the calm of his dreams happy vile.
The grass rises up as it f;l'l on the meads;
The bird soitlrr sings in his bower:
And tn circles of gnats circle Gu like winge
seeds.
Through the sof. sunny lines Of the
shower.

honest, men.

honest men.
The leading old party journals all
admit that the currency question will
be the one great issue in 1880, and
the more sagacious politicians predict
a union of the soft money elements in
that struggle. There can be no doubt
of the result in such an event. The
Republicans, upon the basis of this
years voting, would be in minority
of ten thousand in Maine. five
thousand in Connecticut, sixty
Thousand in New York, twenty-five
thousand in New Jersey, seventy
thousand in Pennsylvania, forty
Thousand in Illinois, thirty.eight
thousand in Ohio and ffty-fiye
thousand in Indiana. These are the
figures. Such union would com.
pletely bury the Republican party
and with it the money power. The
man who counsels the Democratic
party to keep along as an ally of Wall
street is an enemy of popular rights,
and is seeking to secure Republican
success by dividing the elements in
opposition to that party. We are
confident that all such will fail to
exert al influence in Democratic
cOunselS in future.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION IN RUSSIA.

In a letter from the Paris Exhibit
ton. Col. Forney, of the Philadelphia
Press, remarks that while American
progress has astonished Europe, yet
Germany. Switzerland and France
have methods and systems that de-
serve to be studied. Even Russia
may be a model for all of us. Yester.
day l saw some Russian machinery at
the Exhibition; and my admiration
increased rs was told that much of
this exquisite work was made by the
youth. many of them sons of the best
families, sent into the machine shops
to learn trades as a part Of their eiu-
cation. There was no alternative;
they were compelled to pass this or
deal. The government is the master.
and young Russia must obey; and now
obedience becomes a delight: and it
is as much the fashion 10 finish
practical education in this way, as
formerly it was the fashion to pass
through school, or an academy. or
college, for the easy acquisition of
superficial compiisnments.

OUR SILVER MOUNTAINS.

farmer, has become famous the world
over, and has made the nation rich.
Other ranges, still to the east, have
won lesser fame and smaller wealth.
Here in this waste and stricken land
and among these mOuntainS,are cities.
active populations, and vast works;
nature gone mad in stony despair
that woods and fields and smiling
meadows are not; civilization living
in spite Of nature, and wholly given
up day and night to q more insane toll,
knowing 10 Sabbaths, no rest, no
night. The exhaust steam from hun
dreds OF engines waves its white
banner in sunlight ana starlight alike;
the RESPIRATION of a giant by dao, the
fluttering ghost Of toll by night.
These cities, with every appliance of
modern science-with hotels. theatres,
water-works, schools, gas mains, and
every luxury-have not sprung up
here because OF the beauty or cOnven-
fence OF the situation. There is no
river, no sea, to bring commerce and
the arts; no springs of health, nor
even farms. These towns live and
grow on the most Elusive and unstable
of foundations. They were built on
Il hope, and live on an expectation.
Their hopes have been realized in Il
measure past dreaming or expression.
Their expectations may collapse in Il
night. The very foundation beneath
the houses is shifty and unstable.
The gas mains in the street bend and
snap underground, for the very noun
tainS grOan and travail because of
the greed of men. Some day the town
will sink into the grave that lies so
deep beneath its streets, or the peo
pie will flee away to more reasonable
lands, leaving hotels. halls, and dwell
ings empty in the wilderness.
All this-these cities, this science
and enginery, this gigantic capital
spent in constructions more singular,
more complicated. and more effective
than any machinery of II like nature
In the world-has but one excuse: the
metal hid in the heart of the noun
tains. These men live out their works
and days for metal at once the most
universal, the most singular in its
manifestation, and the most useful.
These great engines and vast works
are for the winning of u metal that
swims in every gallon of sea water;
that may hang invisible and dissolved
in 4 glass of acid: that becomes black
at the merest glance of the sun; that

EARLY NAP OF AFRICA.

have just had the pleasure of ex-
amining a magnificent atlas, printed
at Antwerp in 1884 the work of
Abraham Ortellus, Georgrapher to
Phillip II. 1t is entitled "Theatrum
Orbis Terrarum, and in it are two
maps of the region in question. On
the first. of both hemispheres, Africa
contains south Of the equator two
large lakes. from which flow the
branches of the Nile. The second, on
Il larger scale, of a portion of Africa,
shows plainly the bifurcation Of the
Nile and its origin in two large lakes.
A smaller lake upon the line does du
ty for an arm of the Victoria NyanZa.
The Albert NyanZa and the Tangany-
lka are mixed; and yet divided by
one part being called Zambre and the
other Zaire. The topography is in
precise accord with the latest dis
coveries. The great Antwerp atlas is
owned by Mr.. Fenton, of Wimbledon.
II would appear to be a less difficult
feat for our modern discoveries to
explore Africa and rediscOver its
lakes than to navigate centuries and
visit the wild-boOk shelves occupied
by our librophagi.
The map Of Ortellus shows that

to have grown up that it was some
whore about Abyssinia. It was said
thai he confded his son or sons to a
sage, to be brought up in some beauti-
