THE LUCKY HORSESHOE.

A farmer travelling with his load
Picked up horseshoe i'm the road
And nailed 1t fast to his barn door,
That Luck might down upon him pour
That every blessing known in life
Might crown his homestead and his wife,
,And never any kind of harm
Descend upon his growing farm.
But dire illfortune soon began
10 visit the astOunded man.
MS hens declined to lay their egys;
His bacon :umbled from the pegs,
And rats dcvoured the fallen legs:
His corn: that meyer failed before.
widowed and rotted on the floor:
His grass refused to end in hay;
His cattle died, or went astrar:
In short, all moved the crooked way.
Next spring great drought baked the sod,
The beans declared they could not grow
So long as nature acted SO:
Redundant insects reared their brood
To starve for lack of Juicy food:
The slaves from barrel sides went OF
As if they had the hopping cough,
And nothing of the useful kind
To hold together felt icnllned:
In short, it was no use to try
While all the land was in u fry.
One morn. demoralized with grief.
The farmer clamored for relief;
And prayed right hard t. understand
What witchcraft now possessed his land;
Why house and farm in misery grew
Since he nailed up that 81 lucky" shoe.
While thus dismaycd DER matters wrong
An old man CHANGED to trudye along,
To whom he told. with wormwood tears,
How his affairs were in arrears,
And what a desperate state Of things
A picked-up horseshoe sometimes brings
The stranger asked to see the shoe,
The farmer brought it into view:
But when the old man raised his head,
He laughed outright. and quickly said,
mo wonder skies upon you frOwn-
You've nailed the horseshoe upside dow II
Just turn it round, and SION you'll see
How you aad Fortune will agree"
The farmer turned the horseshoe round,
And showers began to swell the ground;
The sunshine laugh cd among his grain,
And heaps on heaps piled up the vain;
The loft his hay could barely hold,
His cattle did rs they were told:
His fruit trees needed sturdy props
To hold the altering apple crops:
His turnip aud potato fields
Asst rnishcd all m Ell by their yields;
Folks never saw such ears of corn
Is in his smiling hills were born:
His barn was full of bursting bins
His wife presented him with twins;
His neiyhborS marveled more and more
To see the increase in his store.
And now the merry farmer sings
There are two ways of doing things:
And when for good luck you would pray,
Nail up your horseshoe the right way"
-Jimes I. Fields, in Hurpcrs Magazine.

u fishermen using the strand in their fishing"
IF we turn to the case presented by the Brltfh
Government at Halifax, we see again ana
again the privileges of which our fishermen are
now deprived brought forward to sustain the
demand for high pecunlary compensation
These privileges are continually spoken OF as
valuable and essential. Without them the
practical use of the inshore fisheries was I'M
possbe. The British estimates included no
only the positive advantages that our fishermen
would reap from these inshore fisheries, but also
the damage which the British inhabitants OF
the coast would suffer by reason of such privl-
lcges: and all these considerations went to
swell the enormous amOnnt or tho money pay
ment by which we were to secure the rights OF
our fishermen upon the coast. Further on In
their case the British Government commended
that the treaty did include the right to our fish
ermen q to take fish and to land for fishing pur-
@poses," and expressly stated that for these
new privileges, not enjoyed under the COnven-
ton of 1918, but which arc enjoyed under the
Treaty of Washington, " Her Maiestys Govern
ament contends that it has right to claim COM
"pensatlOn."
Her Maiesty's Government received the COM
pensatiOn, in enormous disprOpOrtion to the
privileges accorded, and now refuses the en-
ioyment of the privileges, on the ground that
they conflict with certain local statutes
Here is a wrong so evident and glaring that it
cannot remain unredressed. Satisfaction has
been sought from the British Government, in
accordance with international usage, and has
been refused. The matter cannot end in this
way. The Nation must find some other means
of redress. 1t seems to us that that which is
indicated by the Secretary of State, and APP
proved by the President, is the most judiciouS
which could be devised 1t is not in accordance
with our National dignity to pursue any further
discussion in which the other party seems de-
termined not to accord us our unQuestlOnable
rights. The Secretary of State therefore sug-
gests that we shall withdraw the generous con-
cession which we made Of our customs duties
in favor of the provincial fsbermenj that we
shall pursue by diplomatic means the claim
we have upon England for the return Of the
money paid for the enjoyment of privileges OF
which we have been deprived; and that we shall
audit the claims of our fishermen for losses
| sustained by the denial of their rights under
the treaty, with q view to future settlement.
We hope there will be no division of party or
sentiment in q matter 30 directly affecting our
interests and honor. The National Assembly,
by adopting the suggestions of the President and
Secretary of State can Mt once define the atti-
tude of the American people upon this important
matter, and initiate measures to redress wrong
and an indgnity which it is out of the question
for US to endure.

MILTON'S NEEDS.

Private letters from Milton, Penn, add details
of graphic horror to the scene described In
newspaper dispatches. There was, fortunately,
little loss of life, but every other misery is pres
ent which can result from the absolute destruc-
ton In a few hours of the homes, property, food,
clothes and occupation of thousands of human
beings. Men and women who on Thursday were
IN the possession of comfort, and even luxury.
and secure fortunes for their children, went on
Friday to the committee of relief to ask for
meal of victuals or clothes to cover Their
nakedness. The houses destroyed number GG6,
among which were car works, manufactures
and other industries giving employment to a
thriving, busy population. About one-halt the
losses are covered bY insurance. When these
are paid there will doubtless be renewal OF
life in the town, but until that time the citizens
are absolutely helpless.
In such cases of supreme disaster, the Amcri-
can people have always been ready and eager
with help-witness Chicago, Memphis, and, of
late, Ireland. The news Of the destruction OF
Milton on Saturday was scarcely known out
side of PENNSYLVANIA, but before night Phila-
delphia had sent on contribution in money,
and from many of the pleasant hill-tOwns and
villages of that State boxes of provisions and
clothing had been forwarded. These offerings,
however we'll meant, go only little way
toward bridging over the terrible gap of en-
forced idleness and suffering which must follow
before the policies can be paid or the town be-
gin its slow work of reconstruction. What can
New-York do7 We have gwen literally to
the Irish of late, and it was right that we
should give But it is still more right and fit
ting that we should step forward to save these
our own brothers in their hour of need. A
dollar given at once will be of rs much value as
ten month hence. Nothing can come amiss
in such strait. Clothes, household furniture,
beds bedding, or provisions, all are needed.
Boxes or packages can be forwarded free of

ton of it's population to the Union cause during
the war is peculiarly entitled to recognition from

President HAYES could not well find better

everywhere will be glad that during the I'M
pending campaign the politics OF the Post OInce
Department will not be in the least equivOcal'

favor of seating the Chicago boilers and send
ing a solid third-term delegation 10 the
National Convention, regardless OF the prlnclple
of district representation, remains to be SEEM
The third-term leaders appear to have thrown
off all disguise. From the conversation OF
General Logan with our correspondent 1t Is
clear that they mean to carry matters with
high hand, if they are able to control the Con-
yention, and follow the Pennsylvania example
of overriding the will of the Congressional Dis
trlcts. The inconsistency of Logan in claim
ing that a majority in the State Convention
should select all the delegates to Chicago while
advocating Numerically opposite principle in
the case of Cook County, is so grotesque that he
must laugh at it himself when there is nobody
looking at him. But consistency is:of no con-
sequence to these reckless thirdtermerS. They
seem determined to succeed at any hazard to
the unity of their party, and at any risk to their
own reputation and political futures. If the
Springfield Convention obeys their orders, there
may be O bolt and a contesting delegation to
Chicago. If the anti-Grant men control the
body, the delegation will be fairly made up
according to the preferences of the districts and
will it is estimated stand as follows, not includ-
ing the four delegates at-large: Grant 16;
Blaine, ~; Washburne, 10. There is a hopeful
prospect that an element of moderate Grant
men will be found who will refuse obedience
to Logan and insist on tair play. All of General
Grants friends can hardly be so crazy as to fall
| in with the "make or break" policy which
Logan is urging.

OBHLOUS POSSIBILITIES.

The Republicans of Illinois and Pennsylvania
have it in their power to make the next PrcSi
dent 1t is hard to believe that they wish to
make a Democratic President, but they may do
so if they insist upon the nomination Of II third
term candidate Local pride will lie appealed
to in Illinois, and Il readiness TO support Senator
Cameron induced the Convention in Pennsyl-
vania, at an early Stage Of the contest, when
the Republican aversion to third term had not
been shown, to instruct its delegation to vote
for General Grant. The Republican party of
the country appeals to the sober second
thought Of it's friends in these two great States.
1t trusts that they will see that the nomination
of the President would be peculiarly hazard
GUS, and will find an early opportunity in Con-
vcntion to give full weight and expression to
the Republican opposition to that course.
A loo i controversy in Illinois has caused in
tense feeling in the most pOpulOus county in
that Statc-thc county in which IS found IL
large proportion of the German Republicans,
whose Independence has been often shown.
They ardently prefer another candidate. They
voted for delegates known to favor his nOmi-
nation, and fully believe that they prevailed
in the primary meetings, notwithstanding the
admission of many Democratic votes for dele
gates favorable to General Grant. Having the
majority in County Convention, they were met
Mt the threshold by an unprovOked and mex
cusable bolt by the friends Of the thlrd-torm
movement. The object, it is openly said, was
to deprive the anti-Grant Republicans Of a
part of the delegates to whom, as n proved
majority in that county, they were entitled. If
such trick is permitted to succeed in its OBJ
iect, In defiance of all party usages, it is evil
dent that the Republican party must expect
only slender support in Cook County. The
stampede from its ranks in that locality, and,
it is probable, in St. Clair and other counties
where strong German anti-Grant element is
found, will make it difficult, if not impossible
to carry the State even for the local ticket.
The clalm Of the boilers is that they ought
