Upon the question Of troops at The polls
which seems to be a favority hobby OF the
Republican party in order to secure o.hces
BY foul means when they cannot be OBJ
tained by fair ones, there seems to have
been considerable saiutary legislation In
times past-all OF which. or very nearly
ali. has been in the direction Of avoiding
such presence. In England, the sta'n'es
Of George III. and Victoria prohibit the
presence Of troops at the polls. They en-
slude the militia as well as the regular line.
In thi. country. two States. Massachusetts
and New Jersey, prohibit the muster OF
militia on election day, Maine imposes .
ane on any militia officer who exercises any
military command on election day. aud
New York does the same on any one calling
ont the militia election day or five days be-
fore /; Pennsylvania prohibits both the
United States and State troops from being
present, armed or unarmed, at any place
Of election; Illinois disbands her militia on
election day by a clause in thes State Con-
stitution, relieving every citizen from
military service Of any nature on that day.
New York, Pennsylvania, and Maine make
an exception to their laws in case Of insa-
sion or iHszGrection. but in other States
the prohibition Is slways in operation
1t is certainly . matter for very serious
consideration whether a far-sighted policy
does not make it wise in Congress to i'm
pose this restriction on the militia of any
State under its general power to organize
the militia and provide rules for its disci-
pline. This is the view taken Of the mat
ter by the Democratic party, and it is one
Of national justice. Republicans think
otherwise. and so place themselves on
secord before the people. The nation viii
long sustain such a dangerous policy.
Selecting rulers in one State by ballot and
in another by the bayonet, may be very
good republicanism, according to the mod
srn definition Of that term. but it is a poll
ey against which the voice Of Democracy
will demand a hearing in 1880.

SOUND SENSE IN THE RAISING OF CHILDREN
A venerable Lady now living In New York, who

never allowed any OF them as children to eat
though she was wealthy and could just as easily
have pampered every whirn. Her constant re.
ply was, when any OF them demurred, MY

dren did not inherit remarkably robust consti.

tenn OF mothers 1t Is fair to suppose that many
Of them would have died or become puny men
and women. When child knows by expert

really needs IT, and then he will not take enough
to destroy his keener appetite for the good

and taking 1t without that relish, It fails to be
raj idly assimlated, II indeed it do not enfeeble

A TAILLEss KITE.-The shape OF the kite is
what the boys call diamond. The cross bar,
which in tail kite OF the diamond pattern is
straight, should be made OF hickory and bowed
by connecting the ends with taut string. 1t
should then be placed at right angles with the
perpendicular stick and fastened securely the
bend OF the bow being backward from the In
iersect1on OF the sticks. Run q string around
over the end Of each stick and cover the frame
with light tissue paper. For q four foot kite
the perpendicular stick should extend three
feet below the point of intersection with the
bow, and one foot above 1t. The bow should be
one and one-half feet long on each side of the
point Of intersection with the perpendicular
stick. The belly cord should be united at the
point OF intersection, and at the same distance
down the perpendicular stick as the arms OF the
bow extend on each side Of the perpendicular
stick. The band is attached at only two points,
the point of intersection and at point below,
In the four-foot kite mentioned, one and one
half feet below the point OF intersection, Tie
these two strings together and attach the cap

the kind, and he retired finally without having
obtained promise from her that she would
attend to the matter. Soon after he had left

OF six female members, In addition to the

pute between man and wife about the pants,
and after the latter had taken out the required
peace in the family, !" and not knowing what her
daughter-in-law had done, cautiously slipped In
the room and cut of another inch. In this way
did each Of the I'VE ladies, unknown to

son WLen thousands of families are thinking
abe ut deselt1ng their homes for few weeks, to

is ass erted that houses that have been shut up
for time may become breeders OF disease when

typhoid fever and dfphtheria nave occurred
Under these circumstances. The cause is con-
sidered to be in the disuse Of cisterns, pipes
and drains, the putrefaction that Is engendered
by the impure air In them, the un1mpeded
access Of this foul air to the house, which is at
