For over eleven months the United
States Marshals have been kept out
of their pay by the Democrats in
Congress. At last a Deficiency bill
has passed the House containing
clause for paying them the arrears
due, but it is saddled with "rider"
forbidding the payment of the depu-
ty marshals appointed in California
last Summer in accordance with the
election laws. Those persons have
exactly the same right to compensa-
ton for their services that the MEM
bers of Congress have to draw their
salaries. Tho Democrats still persist,
however, in their attempt to nullify
statutes which they are not able to
repeal. Their behavior toward the
election laws is oneof the worstamong
the many disgraceful chapters in the
history Of the Democratic party.

The New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger writes:
Southern Democrats are giving it
to be understood that If New York
and the North and West insist upon
Mr.. Tilden, the second place ON the
ticket must be accorded to a Southern
man. Some correspondence on the
subject has taken place, within the
day or two past, which would be in
teresting reading, if the parties to it
would consent to its publication.
The national as we'll as the State COM
committee, there Is season to believe,
have received these Southern inti-
nations, as well as prominent Dem
ocrats who hold no official relations
to the party. Among the names put
forward as fit to. be ON the ticket
with Mr.. Tilden are those of Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina; Sena-
tor Gordon, of Georgia; Senator
Beck, of Kentucky; Senator Lamar,
of Mississippi; or Congressman Rea-
gan, of Texas ; or Vance, of North
Carolina; or Robert M. McLane, Of
Maryland.

THE PROPAGATION OF CARP-Au

THE PROPAGATION OF CARP.-An
experiment in the growing of carp
commenced in 1878 in the Arsenal
grounds at Washington, d. c., has
been very successful. The pond is
in low. marshy place, and was
originally intended for an ice pond.
1t is nearly an acre in extent, and is
fed by a small pipe from the water
main. The carp originally furnished
by Professor Baird were forty eight
in number, but half of them were
removed to toher ponds. The young
carp hatched year age, and now in
fine growing condition, were 5000 in
number, 1900 of which were remov-
ed to other experimental pools by
Professor Baird. They now vary in
size from to inches in length, and
are as tame as any domestic animal
or fowl. In this particular they diff
fer from any other of the fish family.

DARK HORSE SUPERsTITIONs.-
1t is fast becoming a matter of fact
or superstition that .dark horse"
candidates run well in the Presiden-
tial race and excite peculiar kind
of enthusiasm. The following Incl
dent is recalled by a gentleman of
Lexington, Kentucky, and shows
that Henry Clay was a firm believer
in the superstition "In 1874, while
the Democratic Convention was in
session at Baltimore, /, in company
with several gentlemen, was sitting
in Mr.. Clay's law Office. The party
had called in order 10 ascertain the
news from the convention. The only
communication at that day was by
mail. One of the gentlemen received
letter giving the result. When it
was announced that James X. Polk
had received the nomination a deep
silence prevailed for few moments,
which was at last broken by Mr.. Clay,
who looked up and said: Il am
beaten.' One of the gentlemen
asked: why do you think so, Mr..
Clay" His reply was: Nobody
knows James X. Polk"

SOME CURIOUS FIGURES
bama is as large as England. and yet

lands 21,O00.000, California, with
less thar 100000 of people. is very
little smaller than France with &c.
100000. Nevada is a little smaller.
and Oregon is larger, than New York
and Pennsylvania combined ; so eth
er of these new states could easily
hold the two older states combined
population of 8,500.000. We do not
think Massachusetts oyercrowded
with 100000, nor Ohio with less
than 5000, 1000, nor New York with
4,5O1 900. And yer, if Texas were
settled as thickly as New York, its
100000 would grow to 22.000.0O0; /;
if like Ohio, it would have q 900, 900;
If like Massachusetts, it would hold
so 900 900, or more than the present
population of the Union. There are
only fifteen States out of the thirty
eight which have each more than :
100000 of people, while there are
fourteen States have larger area
than England. with her 81 LOCO 900.
Settled like England, these States
would have more than 100000, 900.
The States toward which immigra-
tion is now mainly settling are Min.
nesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas and
Colorado. These about equal Mis-.
souri, in population, while her area is
ten times hers. So, to be evenly pop.
ulated like Missouri, sparsely popu-
lated as that State is, these five should
have $4,000, 900; and. 10 be settled
like Massachusetts, being ninety
times as large, they must have 1885,
600 900, or three times our country's
present population. If the whole
territory of the Union were settled
like New York. it would contain
270,000,000; if like Massachusetts,
$50, 900; and if it reached Eng-
lands ratio of inhabitants to the
square mile, its population would
almost equal the present population
of the globe.

John Sherman's friends have no
reason to regret this candidacy at
Chicago. 1t aided in the good work
of maintaining the traditions of the
country. and preserving the integrity
of the Republican party. If Garfield
is elected, Mr.. Sherman will un-
doubtedly be urged to remain IN the
Cabinet, or if he prefers to return to
his old seat in the Senate, the Re-

have him represent them again.

A writer in the June Scribner who

that the only known contribution to

any man engaged in politics was
500 sent by Vice President Wheeler.
1t is also said that not a dollar of
public funds has been expended in
any way for the coIoreG immigrants
in Kansas. "Not single colored

The Republican Platform.

3n most respects the platform of
7*Yeisa close copy of that of 1876,
fe that much of what we promised
years ago to undertake we can
70 now as already accomplished.
g0nvention which nominated
fe>|dent Hayes pronounced it the
t'qlK of the National Government to
y se|sarge its obligations, to its credi-
iss,ls, U0ild up the NATIONAL credit,
and restore prosperity by speedy
return to specie payment. The Con-
vention which nominates President
Hayes successor congratulates us
upon a currency redeemed, credit
strengthened, agriculture, commerce,
and manufactures furnishing, and
general prosperity reestablished. All
this has been effected by Republican
Legislation and the firm and prudent
management of the finances by a Re-
publican Administration.
The praise of President Hayes is
well bestowed. 1t is long since the
atmosphere of the White House has
been SO pure and the general tone of
the executive branch of the Govern
ment so dignlfled as during his term
of office. Able, honest, high minded.
patriotic. sincere, he has kept not
only himself but those around him
free from the breath of scandal. He
has administered his trust with an
evident regard for the rights and the
welfare of all sections of the country
alike; and whenever the occasion has
arisen, he has proved himself stur-
dy defender of the principles of his
party.
A forcible arraignnent is made of
the Democratic party for its habitual
sacrifice of patriotism and justice to
its Unsuitable lust for Office and pa
tronage. The specifications under
this general.charge are severe, but no
candid man can say there are not
warranted by the conduct of that
party during very recent years. Its
efforts Go destry the freedom and pur-
ity of the ballot, to seat Congressman
whom the people have refused to
elect, to steal the entire State Gov.
erpment in Maine, to block the
wheels of the National Governm ent,
to nullify National laws and to culti-
vate the spirit of the Rebellion in
order to solidify the South, make this
plank in the platform as just and ap-
propriate as it is scathing.
The clauses respecting education.
polygamy, Chinese immigration,
etc., repeated from the platform of
1876, give fresh emphasis to the views
which are we'll known to prevail
among Republicans. Upon no part
of the platform has there been any
dissension among the delegates, or
any occasion for compromise and
shifty phrases. The Republicans
know just where they stand. Happy
is the party which has so little to ex-
plain in its past, and so little need to
promise new things for the future.
Its acts have spoken for it.

The story goes that, during the building
of Solomon's Temple, that wise ruler
decided TO treat the artisans employed on
his famous ediice to q banquet. While the
men were enjoying the good things his
bounty had provided, King Solomon moved
about from table to table, endeavoring to
become better acquainted with his workmen.
To one he said:
"My friend, what is your trader"
"a carpenter"
Sand who makes your tools2"
"The blacksmith" replied the carpenter.
To another Solomon said:
"What is your trader" and the reply was:
"a mason"
"And who makes your tools2"
"The blacksmith" replied the mason.
third stated that he was a stone-cutter,
and that the blacksmith also made his tools.
The fourth man that King Solomon ad-
dressed was the blacksmith himself. He
was O powerful man with barred arms, on
which the muscles stood out in bold relief,
seemingly almost as hard as the metal be
worked.
"And what is your trade, my good man?'
said the King.
BLACKSMITH" laconically replied the man
of the anvil and sledge.
"And who makes your tools?"
"Make 'em myself" said the blacksmith
Whereupon King Solomon Immediately
proclaimed him the king OF mechanics
because he could not only make his own
tools, but all other artisans were forced tC
go to him to have their tools made.

Change of Parfnara
[Be.ver Falls penny Tribune.l


Beaver Falls (Penn.) Tribune.l
Not far from LackGwanna, Penn, is the
home Of two young ladies, sisters, aged re-
spectively eighteen aud twenty wears.
They were each receiving the addresses of
lovers, who were brothers, and both couples
were engaged to be married. 1t was their
intention to celebrate a double wedding
about the holidays, but now matters have
changed. A few days sgo the four were
sitting together in the parlor at the girls
home when the elder lady expressed desire
to attend political meeting being held in a
nearby village. She asked her lover TO
accompany her, but he refused point blank.
giving as a reason that he was not a Demo-
crat. The young lady insisted, but still
refused. Finally he turned to his brother,
who, it seems, was a Democrat and asked
him to accompany her. To the surprise of
all he ut once consented, and they went to
the meeting. The two who remained at
home were quite indignant, the one at the
conduct of her lover, the other az the way
his sweetheart had acted. The more they
discussed it the angrier they became. They
discovered that they-the ones at home
were both Republicans, while the two who
had gone were of Democratic proclivities.
They talked on, discovering little similar
tiles of tastes and habits, and finally re-
solved each to break with the old love, and
form new alliance. No sooner resolved
than the compact was ratified with kiss,
when by chance the others entered. The
gentleman told his brother at once what
they decided to do. To his great surprise
no sorrow was shown, no anger manifested,
and his wonder was increased when he was
informed that the other couple, while on
their way home, had resolved to do just the
same thing.
