We stood together, you and |,
The moon hung low her mystic light,
The stars beamed softly from on high,
Around us fell the garb of night:
But what cared you, or what cared !,
For moon or stars on quiet sky!
The harvest fields stretched far away,
The whppoorwill made plantivc cry,
The trees in ghostlike shadows lay,
june roses breathed forth tcndcrly;
Oh, fair the earth and fair the sky,
But what cared yOu or what cared |!
We knew the fields would soon be mOwn
The stars would set, the roses die;
The sad-voiced whippoorwill be flown
Aad trees stretch leailess branches high.
But you and !, ali you and /
We loved and had eternity!

CRITICIsING NEwsPAPERs.-I is.
a very easy matter to criticise news,
paper, but to publish one, so as to
interest, amuse and instruct the pub
lie, is no small undertaking. Those
who are SO prone to find fault with
every little item which does not suit
their critical and exalted ideas, should
buy type, ink and paper, and publish
an organ of their own. Let them try
it for three months only, and if it
don't give them some new ideas of
the newspaper business, then we are
no judge of human nature. The
conceit would be taken out of such
individuals so quickly that they
would hardly know what was the
matter with them, or whether they,
stood on their hands or feet. We
would, however, suggest trial.

A Cleveland, OHIO, despatch O

A Cleveland, Ono, despatch of
Saturday says: "The most eXtraor"
nidary case of sclerema, or petrifying
of the skin. known in medical his
tory was made the subject of medi-
cal clinic in this city to-day. The
case was that of child brought
here from New PhiladeIdhia, and it
is becoming literally a petritied child.
The flesh is as cold and hard almost
as marble; and while the child,
which is nearly three years old,
continues to live it can only
freely move its lips and eyes.
1t has none of the warmth and
pliabiIity of human flesh, and sleeps
with its eyes op N, presenting a most
CHASTITY spectacle. Until six months
ago it was in perfect health. The
disease is one of the connective
tissues between the skin and flesh,
whose origin is unknown, but is sup
posed to be caused by perverted nu-
triton. This is the thirty-tifth case
discovered and is an important one,
inanmuch as no instance as hereto
fore been known where the entire
body was affected. The child must
die, as complete pertification will
ensue."

lawlessness however high handed, in
oruer 70 defeat a party which is
thought to have gained an election
by fraud. For all the sad and serious
consequences, which have resulted or
may result, those are responsible who
have nursed the spirit of revolution
with persistent lies about the election
of 1876. Had the truth been honestly
stated, had Democrats been taught
that Republican President was de.
clared elected through astrict enforce.
ment of laws expressly designed to
prevent the violence and fraud to
which Southern Democrats had re-
sorted, their would have been in
tinitely less danger in future for free
institutions.
There is but one remedy. 1t is to
crush out, at every election. and by
overwhelming and irresistible ma
ljofitiess that spirit of resistance to
the law and the will of the people
which makes the Democratic party
what it is. The party of rebellion
and revolution must be not merely
beaten, but stamped out of existence
before there can be safety for free in
stitutions. ". y. Tribune.

The ADVANCE IN PRICES. The
manufactures of the country should
carefully consider whether they are
not in a fair way to kill the goose
which lays their golden egg. Ad-
vancing prices with a view to re-
establish an industry upon profit
able basis is fair, legitimate and in
deed necessary enterprise but every
advance which is so considerable as
toreduce consumption would seem to
be short-sighted and impolitic. The
advance in the prices of steel rails,
and of iron manufactures generally,
has been literally enormous. 1t is
of course pre- lictted upon the excess
sive demand for articles Of this sort,
caused by the fact that a sudden re-.
vival of industry has taken place, in
conjunction with unusually short
supplies. But the demands mustne-
cessarily cease if prices continue to
be inflated as rapidly as has been the
case within the past few months.
Bessemer steel rails, which We're quo
ted on January 1, 1879, at $40 per ton
had advanced one year later 81 per
cent, to $40. 1t is said that such
rails were purchased in England dur.
ing 1878 or 1879 at 500. The price is
still advancing, and it means practi.
cally that railroad construction and
equipment must be reduced, or thai
they must be continued at large in,
crease in cost. The Pittsburgh Post
speaking on this subject, says: "An-
other rise in iron, then ore and metal,
wages follow, coal keeps company
and miners follow suit ; strikes fol-
low, and everybody must follow suit.
If iron men will continue this non
sense a little longer there will be a
general decentralization in all kinds
of business, if it has not already set
in. The pre- sent condition is un-
healthy, and it is only a question
how long it will last" Such is view
of the case in Pittsburgh, the GENRE
of the iron industry. There has been
at least an equal increase in prices of
paper with those of iron. At the
last meeting Of the Chicago Division
of the American Papermakers' AS
sociation prices for number one news
paper, extra news (all rag number
two book, and sized and calendered
book papers were all heavily advanc-
ed. 1t is estimated that the advance
since September for all these lines OF
paper by the combination has been
oyer 40 per cent. These are facts
which speak for themselves. The
danger of undue forcing upward OF
pirces, if persisted in, is that it may
end in the lanquishment and final
collapse of our leading industries.

Wife's Retaliation for Abuse.
DETROIT, Dec. 29.-In the Caledonian
House, cheap lodging house and saloon of
an unsavory character near the Michigan
Central depot, this morning, the proprietor,
John Ferguson, was shot dead by his wife, as
she alleges, and probably truthfully, while in
fear of her life. Ferguson had been drink

some and abusive. Late in the evening, after
both had returned from a visit to another
low place, where both drank freely Ferguson
began abusing his wife again, calling her op-
proprious names and threatening to kill her
with a knife which he fourished in reck-
less MANNER. At this point the woman ran
up stairs, obtained a revolver, and when he
attempted to ascend the stairs fred at him
three times, the last shot reaching his heart
and killing him almost instantly. The dead
man had served term in Pennsylvania
State prison for robbery, and when released
in 1873 came to this city, where his wife soon
joined him. He has one wife living in Eliza
