the wonderful effects of Electro Silicon on the

We met a man, this morning, who
does days works, and who used to be
idle. a considerable portion Of the time.
We inquired, "are YOU busy today
YES, was the reply, Il have not loated
a day this season. That Is the general
report. The hard times jam is broken.
1t may be very pleasant for persons
who mail letters, with money enclosed,
for Swindlers, to have the Government
suppress such institutions by returning
letters addressed to irresponsible parties,
but we think the government oyersteps
It's duty and prerogatiyes in SO doing. 1t

able from the fac, that Postmaster Gen
cral Key IS a Democrat.
We publish, this week, lengthy
article concerning Guiltord, Vt. II was
written by Dr. Lapham, and it Is partic-
ularlv interesting TO our readers because
it treats of famile. well known in this
County. Dr. Laphams articles have
more than a temporary value, as they
serve to preserve matters which, in the
future, will become part of history.
The Lewiston Journal, in a lengthy
and excellent article on the southern ques-
ton. saws that is managers had no sym
patty with that policy which abandoned
the southern Republicans; but when it
was fairly inaugurated, they thought best
to give it trial. 1t claims that the fail
ure of the policy has shown TO all that
the South could not be trusted, and as
result has firmly united the Republican
party.
The small creditors who forced Jay
Cooke 4 Co. into bankruptcy, and thus
brought on the financial panic Of 1878,
must feel rather cheap now The divi-
dends already declared on the estate, at
present rates for securities, amount to
over one hundred cents on the dollar of
Indebtedness The firm declared its abil-
ity, at the time. to pay all Indebtedness;
but less prominent and jealous houses
forced them into bankruptcy.
The .Ne,r Religion newspaper, which
supported the Democratic ticket in the late
election, cautions the Governor and Coun-
ell not to attempt "to steal u Legislature.

That's where you re wrong again. Ii
sad, "the Governor will be wise enough,
at least. to see that the Democratic party
can do better for the future, than to steal
a Legislature" The inference is that il
they could do no better in the future,
present SUCCESS would be sought at any
price.

The Ohio river, which is a mile wide
at Louisville, KY, in ordinary stages Of
water. is now reduced to the width of
stone throw, and is in. fact but little more
than u succession of great puddles. Where
the river usually stretches out broad and
rough, nothing but bare white rock Is to be
seen. The novelty Of the thing is so
great that the people of Louisville thrOng

The pork packer of Cincinnati have

The pork packers OF CINCINNATI nave
struck for an increase of 25 cents per day
in their wages. This is Just the way
trades unions retard good times. As soon
as business revives, some association will
order strike for less work or more pay.
Then the employers, who are just begin
ming to recover from the effects of dull
trade, are obliged to shut down their fac
tories, perhaps until the season Is over.
Farmers must not expect high prices for
pork while they encourage trades unions
to stop the work of packing by arbitrary
strikes.

aud how much more so to find that COM

ing the nation as the safest organization to

might have added, is due to Republican
management, for it must remember that
during the last days of the last Democratic
Administration, the bonds OF ihs United
States bearing per cent. interest found no
takers at 10 per cent below par.
