GENERAL HANCOCK IN CONNECTICUT,
1t looks very much, remarks the
Hartford Times, as if Hancock's ma
jority in Connecticut will be larger
than Tilden's was. His nomination
not only unites and arouses the
Democrats, but is bringing to his
support large number of Republi-
cans. These include some of the
active and influential men of that
party, in various parts of the State.

We confess we cannot see how
Gen. Hancock can be defeated in
the present campaign. With quar-
ter of million majority cast for
Mr.. Tilden, at time when the party
name had been synonym for de.
feat nearly two decades, with the
unity, harmony and enthusiasm
manifested by not only his party
friends, but many prominent Repub-
licans; with the idea so carefully
nursed by the Republicans that the
success of the Democracy would be
TIE re-establishment of Southern
rule, so effectually removed; with
the record of the Electoral infamy
to crush the party of fraud, it does
seem the utmost folly to concede the
possibility of defeat. Our faith in
the election of Gen. Hancock is as
firm as that the ides Of November
are approaching.

The Field of the Victor.

The s. +. Examiner says that:
Between the Democratic Winfield
and the Republican Garfield 40
patriotic voter can deliberate. The
winning Field is readily Indicted.
IL carries its own name and itE own
true fame with it, and there is Meth.
er Credit Mobelier scandal nor De
Goyler bribery to dishonor the one
or tarnish the other. About the
Democratic candidate is the aureola
of pure glory, while about the Re-
publican nominee is the humidity of
Congressional corruption and the
glare of meretricious public life.
Hancock's reputation is like virgin
gold-the harder it is rubbed the
brighter it shines. The character of
Garfield is like the warping of a
decayed carcase-at each unfolding
the rottenness of that within is more
and more apparent and appalling.
Already too much has been exposed
to the public view to tolerate the
placing of the worthless remains in
the temple of the peoples liberties
at Washington. 1t would be as the
installation of Mokanna to fright the
patriot hosts of the worshipers at
the shrine of Freedom. Garfield
must succumb to the winning Win
field.

Milk as FOOD.

Unadulterated, undiluted, unskimmed
and properly treated milk, says the
London Lancet, taken from a healthy
cow in good condition, and produced
by the consumption of healthy and nu-
tritious grasses and other kinds of food,
contains within itself in proper proper
tions, says Professor Sheldon, all the
elements necessary 10 sustain human
life through n considerable period of
time. Scarcely any other article of
food will do this. When we eat bread
and drink milk we eat bread. butter and
cheese and drink waterfall of them in
the best combination and condition to
nourish the human system. All things
considered, good milk is the cheapest
kind offood that we have, for three pints
of 1t, weighing three and three-quatter
pounds, and costing ten cents, contain
rs much nutriment rs one pound of
beef, which costs fifteen cents. There is
no loss in cooking milk, as there is in
cooking the beef, and there is no bone
in it that cannot be eaten; 1t is simple,
palatable, nutritious. healthfui, cheap
and always ready for use with or with
out preparation. This is TO say that.
chemically, three-sevenths pounds OF
milk Is the equivalent of one pound of
beef, in fesh-lorming or nitroVenous
constituents, and three-s e-seveBteenths
pounds OF milk is the equivalent of one
pound of beef. in heat producing ele-
ments, or carbohydrates. We must
therefore assume from the data offered
that the relative of beef and milk as
human food are as three and one half
pounds TO eleven and one-half pounds.

Richard the Thirds He'd.

In the corporation records Of Leicester

Der. The owner of the house aiterward

Runaway Horses.

The horse that has once acquired the
habit of running away, says The
Book of the Horse" will bolt on the
first opportunity. Ii you suspect his in
tention the best plan is - check il the
moment he begins to move. taking hold
of one rein with both hands, and giving
1t one or two such violent Jerks that the
rogue must pause or turn round. Then
stop him, and. il you doubt your being
able to hold him, get off. Perhaps a
too vigorous plug" may make him cross
his legs and fall-not n pleasant coniin-
gency, but anything is better than being
run away with in street. In open
country you may compel the runaway to
Railop with loose rein until he is
tired, or To move in n constantly
narrowing circle until he is glad to halt
ten-aere field is big enough for this
expedient. But the great point is to
stop runaway before he gets into his
stride; after he is once away few bits
will stop real runaway-a steady pull
is waste of eXertion on the riders
part. Some horses may be stopped by
saving the mouth with the snaflle, but
nothing will check an old hand. An
other expedient is TO hold the reins
very lightly, and on tho first favorable
opportunity. as n rising hill, for instance,
to try a succession of jerks. But the
cunning, ,'rracticed runaway is not TO be
SO much feared as the mad. frightened
horse. The mad horse will dash against
brick wall, or jump Mt spiked ratings
OF impossible height. / once saw run

In the middle of Africa is found an

nearly straight out, and about twenty

Through Life.

Entering lite, We come iearfully
Into the new and unknown,
Trembling and terrified, fearfully
Lifting liie's burden alone;
Drawing its dangers more cheeriully
When we the stronger have grown.
Still, like old earth so receivingly
Taking the bad and the good
Taking, nor choosing, believingly
Ever the best as we could;
Sadly repenting, then grievingly
Striving to do as we should.
Long may we wonder suspectingly,
Ingrates whom passions enslave,
seorniu Wy, proudly, re)ectingly
Serving the mercy God gave;
Nor look to Him who protectingly
His arm forth stretches to save.
Thoughtlessly, carolessly, musingly,
Playing at lies checkered game;
Ever the tally-sheet losingly
Scoreth a list to our name;
Bravely our conscience accusingly
Stirrcth our senses with shame.
Looking to conscience inquiringly,
Thoughtlessness seemeth IA sin;
Working and striving untirinaly,
So must the battle begin;
Faith, hope and love will inspiringly
Teach us how life we may win.
May we our duty do dareiully,
Strengthening, careworn, oppressed;
Treading our way ever carefully
Through snares to home OF the blest;
Hopefully, cheeriully, prayenully,
Finding in heaven rest,
Striving with sin, sin enslavingly
Holding us ever so fast;
Looking for mercy most cravingly
Through the dark clouds sweeping past
Tenderly, lovingly, savingly,
Jesus redeemeth, at last.

Prior to the beginning of the eigh-
teenth century, opium was imported
into China in comparatively small guam
titles, and mainly used as remedy in
6dysentery., The vice of opium smoking
began IN the latter half OF the seven
tSenth century, but the drug was then
too dear to permit the habit to spl cad
rapidly; at the end of a hundred years,
however, it had extended over the
whole empire. The first edict aga inst
the practice was issued in 1896. and
since then there have been innumerable
prohibitory enactments, but all power
less to arrest the evil, which is now
greater than ever before, and increasing
in an alarming ratio.

A difficulty has supervened in the
construction of the St. Gothard tunnel
under the Alps which threatens TO seri-
ously retard its completion. In the part
of it where the formation is of porous
white stone the vaulting has already
given way twice or three times, and Il
has required the greatest care and con-
slant staying with timber TO prevent the
passage thcreabouts from completely
collapsing. 1t was thought. however
that a granite wall six feet thick would
support the superintendent mass Of
white stone and keep tie tunnel perman-
entity open. A wall OF this thickness has
been finished, but it has hegun TO give
way, and the engineers arc at their wits
end how TO overcome the difficulty. In
the opinion of the geoloRist of the tunnel
IL can be overcome only by making n
wide curve so as TO get round the white
stone instead of going through 1t. This
would involve tie entire reconstruction
Of that part OF the tunnel, in which cases
probably, il will not be ready for traffic
before the time fixed for the completion
of the lines of approa ch-two years

The machines In this Geld are driving

Il seems . matter OF wonder to the

should stand idly by and see the tall
