New YORK POLITICS. .-NFW YORK,
Aug. 27.-The Herald says: OF all the
public men we have ever known no other
has shown so little disposition to make
friends by concession as Tilden. Tilden
does not appear at all content unless he
controls and dictates the nomination or
appointment Of every inferior officer.
Perhaps Tilden may succeed by fighting
men of his party as well as his political
opponents-his friends as we'll as his enc
mics. A green hand on farm yoked a
pair Of oxen, one heading each way.
They did not work as well as usual.
The Herald says: Once more the
Greenback Labor Party looms up in State
politics as the possible breaker of party
states 1t is generally admitted that this
party finds its recruits principally among
Democrats; if, therefore, it can poll a
vote even one-half as large as in 1878,
New York will be hopelessly lost by
the Democratic party. Interviews with
certain leaders Of the labor party indicate
that there is not any particular enthusi-
asm in the labor ranks

The ELECTRICITY OF CATS UTILIZED.
The most remarkable invention of this
or any other age is duly chronicled by
The Columbus CO., Dispatch. It is bas-
ed npon the electric proprieties of the fur
of cats. With q battery of 12S cats the
inventor succeeded in generating a cur
rent so strong that it instantly polarized
all the ghtening- -arresters and demagnet-
lied all the switch boards On the way to
Omaha. The operators all along the
line were terror-stricken, and rushed from
their Offices Eighteen hundred and
nine glass insulators were broken and
as many poles shattered, as if by light
ming. A great deal more damage would
doubtless have resulted if the copper rod
under which the battery was suspended
had not suddenly became red hot and
burned the tails off the cats and let them
drop. When only moderately strong
current of electricity is desired, it is OBJ
tanned by densely populating the small
floor of the cage, that being the best con-
ductor. The electricity thus generated
charges the copper floor of the cage, and
as it cannot pass off to the ground through
the glass insulators, it seeks its exit over
the wires that are connected by solder
ing to each end Of the copper plate For
generating powerful current, the cats
are carefully and securely tied tail to
tail in pairs, and by the loop thus formed
they are suspended from a heavy insulat-
ed copper rod that passes longitudinally
through the cage, to the ends of which
are attached the telegraph or telephone
lines

A QUESTION OF DRESS. quaint
body of Christians who call themselves
Tunkers held their usual discussions at
the recent council in Virginia on ques-
tions Of dress, though less time was given
to them than in some former years. No
thing whatever was said whether coats
should be worn with standing or roll
ing collar, Or whether baptism in a pool
is valid. Five memorials were presented
in complaint of the editors of certain
newspapers Of the denomination who had
spoken ''in unkind phrases of Straight
jackets, F" ''round-tailed coats" and 'idol-
atrous clothes-religion.'' It was recon-
mended by committee that these editors
be asked to make humble acknowledge
ment of their offenses. A member re-
quested that the wearing Of hats by La
dies be not made bar to membership,
but no change was made in the rule
against hats. The single and double
modes Of feet-Washing were considered
it having been asked that full liberty be
given to use the single mode. A member
from Southern Illinois favored granting
the liberty asked for and said that Of
llle l"cHIy-lOuI CHuEclleS III southern
Illinois fourteen wash by the single mode.
He thought it wise that the request be
granted, since it would put an end to all
agitation Of the question; but the council
deferred the case until another year.
Many readers perhaps do not know that
the double mode is where one person
both washes and wipes the feet Of anoth-
er, and that the single one is where one
person washes and another wipes the feet
Of brother. The double mode is con-
sidered more orderly than the single one.
During the recent discussion member
said: "Whenever you show me church
that is not living up to the order of the
brotherhood, it is one Of those that washes
feet in the single mode.'

BIsMARN ON FRANCE.-The Paris cor
respondent of a leading English Journal
quotes Prince Bismark as saying: 'There
are, really, as it were, two Frances-the
France of Paris and the France of the
provinces. The France Of Paris is a
vain, pleasre-seeking agreeable, extrava-
CANT France, which makes revolutions,
declares war, and has no idea of econo-
MIXING, Everybody brings money to it
and it squanders everything. But along
side it is the other France, the true
France, that of the provinces. which la
bors hard, is sober and saves. The lat
ter pays for the freaks and follies of the
other When the former makes a revo-
luton it is the latter that suffers. When
the former declares war it is the latter
that fights, though the provincial French
man dearly loves the soil, and there is no
greater sacrifice for him than to leave it
for military service. When I was in
France took great interest in the sol
diers, and often talked with them. Their
whole desire was to get through the ser
vice and return to the fields. IF the peas
ants were listened to, France would new
er make ar;and yet he fights well when
he does fight. When he is beaten he is
sorry; when he wins he is pleased; but
victor or vanquished, what is dearest to him
is that victory or defeat alike bring the
war to an end and allow him to 90 home
again"

What the Colored Pe0nIe Cav.

The following is taken from the
address published by the conference
Of the eolored people, which recently
met at Nashville, Tenn. In regard
to the political status of the colored
man in the South, the address says
We contemplate the lamentable
| political condition Of our people, es-
| peeially in the South, with grave and
serious apprehensions for the future.
Having been given the ballot for the
| protection Of our rights, we find that
through systematic intimidation, out
rage, violence and murder, our votes
have been suppressed, and the pow
er thus given US has been made a
weapon against US.
The immigration Of the colored
| people now going on from several
Southern States has assumed such
proportions as to demand the
calm and deliberate consideration of
every thoughtful citizen Of the eoun-
try. 1t is the result Of no idle curl
osity or disposition to evade labor /;
| it proceeds upon the assumption
that there is a combination Of we'll
I planned and systematic purposes to
still further abridge their rights and
privileges and reduce them to a state
Of actual serfdOm. It is declared in
Holy Writ that the OK that treadeth
out the corn shall not be muzzled.
If their labor is valuable it should
be respected. If it be demonstrated
that it cannot command respect in
the South, there is but one alterna-
tive, and that is to emigrate. But
as the South possesses many advan-
tages for them, they would prefer to
remain there if they could peaceably
enjoy the rights and privileges to
which they are legally entitled, and
receive fair, equitable remuneration
for their labor. The disposition to
leave communities b which th ey feel
insecure is an evidence Of a healthy
growth in manly independence, and
should receive the commentator
and support Of all phnthropists.
We therefore heartily indOrse the
National Emigration Aid Society re-
Gently organized at Washington, D.
c., and bespeak for it a successful
issue in its laudable undertaking.
We view with qualification the recent
efforts Of the planters of Mississippi
and Louisiana, at the Vicksburg
Convention, to effect an adjustment
of the labor troubles existing in that
section Of country. Believing that
through such a movement it is pos
sible to establish friendly relations,
and adjust differences between the
races, and secure a final and salts
factory settlement of the grave
causes underlying the unsettled and
inharmOnious condition Ofafairs now
obtaining among them in the South,
we would respectfully recommend to
both classes the adoption of similar
action in the future for the settlement
of ali disturbing public questions
which may arise between them.

TO SECURE A HANDSOME INCOME.
The Ohio Scale Works Of Cincinnati
have Just patented and are nov introduc-
ing to the public a Handsomely finished
Family Scale, an article that has alWavg
been needed in every household, and in a
communication addressed TO the publish
ers Of this paper the proprietors ask US to
refer them to some reliable party, to in-
troduce it foE them to the people Of this
county. 1t Is very seldom that a new ar-
ticle steps so suddenly into universal fa-
YOr. HOusekeepers are loud in its praise.
it is always ready, there are no weights to
get lost or to he hunted up, Is reliable, and
viii not get OutOf order. The description
Of them is a handsome bass surmountsd
by a column, in which works a spiral
spring so scientifically adjusted as 70 weigh
anything up to twelve pounds with per-
feet accuracy. On the top Of the column 81
the platform on which the articles 70 bs
weighed are placed, and they have an ad-
Unstable indicator so that you can take the
tare Of any vessel you may use in weigh
ing, giving yoH the exact net weight.
HOusekeepers at once see their value in
weighing fruits, sugars and other ingTedi-
ents used in preserving, cooking, etc, or
in testing the weights Of purchases from
others.
The Scales are made Of Brass, are highly
polished and are finished in a skiIliuI
manner. They are very attractive and
take the eye Of every one who sees them.
1t seems to US that nearly every family
in this county will want one, and it is eer-
tainly a rare opportunity for some smart
and energetic party to pick up quite a
nice little income during the next few
months. The Company has agents in other
counties who are easily making from $500
to $500 per day selling them, and we
would recommend parties in need Of en-
ployment to drop the OHIO SCALE

ing (June 6, 1879 engaged in level
ing large mound, near the pike
leading from Leesburg to Samantha,
on Mr.. Cooper's farm. He hopes to
find in it some relics, which will,
perhaps, give come clue to the build
ers Of these ancient works.
He informs me that he lately IN
earthed, from a mound near Whining
ton, a stone tablet, on which were
engraved some strange characters,
which have not yet been deciphered.
A book describing the mound and
giving cuts of the stone and charac-
ters, can be seen by calling on the
Doctor, at Careytown. He also has
a large collection of rare coins, and
a great many prehistoric relics.

" Chronicle tells why country
newspapers have to charge more
than city newspapers, as follows:
eve are often asked by Well-mean-
ing people why they have to pay
higher for country newspapers than
for those printed in cities. why
do you charge $500 a year for the
Chronicle, when I can get the New
York SocbdOLOger-a bigger paper
for S1.50F We will try to clear up
this mystery. Suppose the Chroni-
Gle has cash subscription Of 1000
at S2.0O-that makes $4,000 Well
now suppose the New York SocEdoI0-
ger, or whatever paper you choose,
for a comparison, has a paying list
Of 100000 at S1.5O-that makes
S15O,OOO. Now suppose this city
paper has a profit on each subscriber
Of ten cents-that clears the pub
Usher $4,000; but suppose the
Chronicle realizes that percentage
and no more-that would make a
sum of 5000. This latter amount
would oompel'a country printer to
live very thin himself and squander
nothing on his family, while his city
contemporary would wax fat as
Jeshurhn- You now see the necessi-
ty Of a country printer charging
more than a city paper, don't you?
A paper the size Of the Chronicle,
with its circulation and price,
couldn't live over night in a city"

Local Option Law for the whole Do
minion, was passed at the session of
Parliament in 1878. It was the re-
suit of a general demand made by
the Temperance men of both par
ties, without reference to party lines,
and accepted by them as the best
that could be gained, and step
toward ultimate prohibition. Peti-
tions for a prohibitory law had been
largely signed, and sent in to pre-
vious sessions of Parliament. The
government could not see its way
clear to the enactment of such a
law, but promised local option act
They were kept up to this promise by
the efforts of representative Temper
ance men of both parties, who, by
letter and personal attendance upon
the sessions, did all in their power to
obtain the legislation. The bill was
introduced by the leader of the
government, Alexander Mckenzie,
and was supported by the leader of
the opposition, Sir John Mcdonald,
and passed by a large majority.

Many papers are at last awakening

oath to tell the whole truth, brow
