There is much excitement among some of

protection 10 o~rganize bands, still We DO not
think lt right Tor men 70 take the law IN their
own hands end meie out punishment 10 even
the guilty, where we nave good las aud
good men and true 20 enforce them. Mob
law and lynChing are tnt OF piece in civilized
lands, and for men to biaoken their faces and
20 about at night IA beneath the dignity OF
American eitiZens. We have known OF tray-
elers being beaten TO death, robbed by regu-
lat0rs under pretence that they might be
horse thieves and OF unprincipled persons
venting an old grudge through them. The
trouble Is the mean can't BIO kept out OF
them. An excited community on account

magistrate and should a police force be need
ed 10 search out and bring the guilty TO JUS

OF men blackening their bodies with gun
powders unless they are suffering With the

ing negroes we should not forget that we are

letter.
 James gave up the Polytechnic and devoted himself to his father and mother. MT. Bllnn soon turned to him for every thing; and James was never SO happy as when reading to his father explaining and simplifying to suit his unlettered mind. James was often summoned to his mothers sick room and she learned to depend on him to give her her medicines; ''nobody could arrange her pillows or lift her as nicely as Jim," she used to say. In the spring sunshine she was able to leave her room, and take her place with them down stairs. She was never contented unless James was by her. One evening she drew him to her as she used to do Ruthven, and sebbed cut: 'tGod toek my idol from me, but He has given me the best and noblest of sons. Forgive me; Jim. I love you now more than you will ever know in this world"
 His reward had come. He never told either father or mothr about Ruthven's conduct in college. Why should he add to their anguish Mrs. Blnn told her husoand what she knew about Ruthvens transgression the night they rememberd so well, and how nebly James bore his severe reprimand because he promised his brother to shield him. "Ah! Mabel, we all worshipped Ruthven too much. You dId very wrong but Jim has forgiven you long ago."
 ''Yes he has, but fear God will not"
 ''Yes, Mabel, He will"
 James never went back to college. He could not be spared from home. He did not neglect his mathematical studies entirely, nei- ther did he do much manual labor on the farm, but he gladdenad his fathers heart by earnest setting himself to learn to superintend all kinds of farm work, and labored with his own hands when necessary. It was not the calling he had chosen for himself, but it was the one his du, ty told him to follow, and he was the stay and ioy of Redney. His townsmen, discovering his ability as an architect and engineer, em- ployed him constantly to draw plans for thelr houses and he was appointed to superintend the building of an iron bridge across the river, | to his fathers perfect delight.
 Time healed his mothers wounds, and when Jim married and brought home his wife to Rodney, she took the pretty young creature right to her heart. When Jim put his first born son into her arms, saying his name was Ruthven, she blessed him anew and his baby also, smiling through her tears.
 "I thought it was only Jim," she said.
Litchfield enquirer., 1879-02-20

Every thing done now at Rodney was in reference to the vacation when the boys would be home. Mabel coaxed her husband for a new carpet, of gray and blue, Ruthven's fa- vorite colors and she finished her new merino dress to wear Thanksgiving day, and deftly twisted up blue ribbon into bow because her darling when he was little fellow, once looked at her intently and said that ''the blue scarf about her neck was most as pretty as her eyes" Favorite viands were prepared to suit the boys individual tastes Ruthven liked this and James that. Mabel was strictly just in this particular. She loved Ruthven best. but she never failed to provide for Jim, even at considerable trouble, inst what his appetite craved. M .4es3siE ss

The next evening the boys, now nearly full grown, were out until late hour. Ruthven, by his fond but erring mothers consent, had a night key, and he could slip into the house af- ter the family were in bed. Mabel often sat up for him, and on one occasion he came home intoxicated. She was so frightened and griev- ed, she could do nothing but weep and follow his staggering footsteps until he was in bed.
 She ought to have told his father but she cul- pably kept the fact from his knowledge. This night, boisterous peal of laughter awakened them and MT. Blinn arose to see what was the matter. In the dimly-Iighted entry he saw enc of his sons assisting almost carrying, the other up the stairs, and he thought it was Ruth ven helping James He knew that the boy who was showed along was intoxicated 'It's only Jim" said he in great wrath, using her oft-repeated expression, and it took all the persuasion she could use to prevent his follow Ing them up stairs. The weight of sorrow on her heart told Mabel it was Ruthven. The morning after his previous lapse she had re- ! monrstrated rl with him and he solemnly prom

CHAPTER II.

The old folks were not little startled when James led Mable in, looking so shy and pretty and introduced her as his future wife, say ing: Ho
 Mother, Mabel is goin' to live with you for month. And then she is goin' to live with me-" he added, chuckling at their amazed fa- ces. His mothers knitting needle, with the stitches on it, dropped, and she would not speak until she found it no easy task on that clean but dingy rag carpet Mr. Blinn stared first at his son and then at Mabel with the

No AcTIoN.-It is n source of regret to
many earnest Republicans in California
that the Republican National Committee
did not remeve Geo. G. Gorham and SUBJ
stitute some other Republican as the rep
resentative of this State in that body.
But the telegraph informs US that the pro-
tests of the California State Central Com
mittee was not introduced and no action
whatever was had in the matter by the
National Committee. OF this we are ex-
ceedipgly sorry for we believe in Repub.
hcans running the Republican machine,
and not boilers or renegades. Honesty
and manhood should have compelled
Gorham's withdrawal from the National
Committee at the very moment he decid
ed to oppose the Republican neninee fol
Governor in California, for he must know
that he ,does not represent the party in
this State. Between Gorham and Cali
fornia Republicans there is a wide chasm
which cannot be bridged. The political
traitor will never more be welcomed 10
our ranks. Yet there are many who will
howl piteously at the retention OF Cor
ham on the National Committee, who in
their individual capacities are as much
to blame for non action as is that Com.
miitee. Gorham, AS a speaker, did nc
more against the Republicans last Fall
than did the San Francisco Chronicle, al
a newspaper. Each did their worst. Yet
while they condemn the former and would
have him tabooed, they continue to snp
port the latter. Let both be ostracized
The master should go with the man, fo
surely, as the old saying has it, "what il
sauce for the goose should be sauce for The
gander." No Republican who supports
the Chronicle has any right to complain
at the National Committee for supporting
Gorhsm.

RUMoRs are current that a compro
mise is likely to be effected between the
hard and soft money wings of the Demo-
cracy in Congress, by agreeing TO adopt
n resolution providing substantially that
from and after the expiration of national
bond charters, In 1888, the only legal ten
der currency of the country shall be gold
and silver coin, and that the Govern
ment alone shall issue the paper money
required for purposes Of commerce in
the form of treasury notes, not legal ten
der, except by special contract, but re-
ceivable for its dues and rcdeemable in
coin; it being also provided that one
third of the amount of such outstanding
notes be kept in the Treasury in coin.
Careful inquiry fails to discover any
foundation for this W idely, circulated re-
port, except the conferences OF a compa-
ratively few Democratic Senators, and
there seems to be very little probability
OF any such agreement IN the party at
large, although seme such resolution will
undoubtedly be brought forward for dis
cussion after the reassem bling of Congress
ard 1t may have the effect of forcing the
fight upon the national bank question,
which the majority of both parties have
heretofore apparently wished TO avoid.

ELECT RIG LIGHT THROUGH A SLIP OF
PAPER.-The New York Herald of Dec.
Odd devotes page to "Edison's Tri-
umph in Elec.rict illumination, giving
a full and accurate account OF his work
from its inception to its completion, with
illustrative diagrams. The Herald says:
The first public exhibition of Edison s
long looked for electric light talked of
will take place at MEMO Park on New
Years Eve, on which occasion that place
will be illum mated with the new light.
The new light, incredible as it may ap-
pear, is produced from little piece OF
paper-a tiny strip of paper that the
breath would blow away. Through this
little slip of paper is passed an electric
current, and the result is bright, beau
tiful, mellow light. "But the paper in
OF "a tallow candle, )" exclaims the skeptic
land how then can it Withstand the
fierce heat of an electric currentw Very
true, but Edison makes the little piece OF
paper inOIe lnlusiDit tUdH pldbuIuin, uOIc
durable than granite, and this involves
no complicated process. The paper is
merely baked in an oven until all sle~
ments have passed away, except its car
bon framework. The latter i. then
placed in glass globe, connected with
wires leading to the eectric>producing
machine, and the air exhausted from the
globe. Then the apparatus is ready to
give out light that produces no gases,
no smoEe, 10 offensive odors light
without fame, without danger, requiring
no matches to ignite; giving out bat lit
tie heat vtiating no air, and free from
ali hicltering light. that is little globe OF
sunshine; sad this light, the inventor
claims, can be produced cheepe- than that
from the cheapest oil. The inventor
finds that electricity can be regulated
with entire reliability at the central sta
tion, just as the pressure OF gas is now
regulated The en- tire cost of construct
ing the lamp is not more than twenty
five cents.

SENATOR BooTH ON THE PRESIDENCY.
Senator Booth said that he did not
think popular feeling in his State WAS in
favor of the nomination of Grant. AL
though the ex President would undoubt-
edly enjoy strong support If nominated,
and would carry the State, the people
were opposed to third term, except un-
der exceptional circumstances, and
Grants personal friends did not believe
third term would be desirable for him.
The Senator thought Blaine would be
California's choice among Republicans,
and Grant probably the second choice.

RUMoRED PoLITIcAL MovE.-There is
rumor that Senator Davis Of Illinois,
will be offered the English mission, in
order to make room for a Republican
Senator from Illinois. Elihu Washburn
is spoken of as his successor. Davis
would be confirmed without reference to
a Committee, uEder the unvarying rule
of the Senate when one of its members is
nominated for place. This change
would offset the proposed unseating OF
Kellogg, and render it possible for the
Republicans, in spite Of that action, to tie
the Senate, in 1881 by carrying every
Northern Senatorial election.

Make every one of them an outcast and
wandering Jew. Point the finger OF
scsrn at them. Shun them as moral lep,
ors, who are all covered with sores from
head to loot. Make them feel that they
are exeerated by an outraged and indig.

and Council to usurp the power OF deter
mining what they lave no right TO deter :
mine, what is there, in the name of the
public, but mockery and fraud? If our
people rise up in their majesty and de-
mand their rights, the usurpers will not
dare refuse them. There is moral
power in the free men Of Maine, before
which rascality will quail.

it. The CalIfornians, who have been an
