The remarkable growth and prosperity OF
our new States and Territories attest the
wisdom of the legislation which invites the
tiller of the soil to secure permanent home
on terms within the reach of all. The
pioneer who incurs the dangers and priva'
tions of a frontier life, and thus aids in lay
ing the foundation of new commonwealth
renders signal service to his country, and
is entitled to its especial favor and protec-
ton l.. S. Grant.

THE cry that the Germans are against
GRANT for Third Term is being kept up
mainly because few of them who were
against him for Second Term are now renew
ing their old attempt at anything-to-beat
GRANT. Anyone who will take the trouble
to turn back TO the record of the campaign
of 1872 will find ample proof of the truth
OF this assertion. But the result of that
contest proved the utter unreliablity of the
assertion made then as now to the effect
that the German vote is carried IN the
pockets of few political leaders The
truth Is, the Germau-Americans Of to-day
are among the most independent and self
reliant Of all our varied citizenship. They

THE exodus does not abate. One direct
effect of Senator VOORHEES, alleged inves-
tigation into its methods and origin has been
to promote discussion of it, and conse-
quent increase of black emigration from

HE'S desires, however, for it is to be pre-
sumed that he would not object to the in

Origin OF Amber.

Nearly 1000 years ago, Pliny, the
naturalist, wrote that amber was the
FOSSIL resin OF an extinct cone bearing
tree, and modern science can say of il
but little more. The original amber
producing forest probably reached from
Holland over the German coast, through
Siberia and Ksmschatka, even 10 North
America. One of the most celebrated
deposits is on the peninsula of Samland,
a portion OF Prussia, nearly surrounded
by the Baltic sea. The northern part
OF this region, constituting the promon-
tory of Brusterort, is hilly, and the coast
banks are often $50 feet to 800 feet high.
At one time all the amber found here,
even by the peasants in blowing, be-
lOnged to the German government, the
finder, however, receiving one-tenth Of
its value. For a piece in the Berlin
museum, weighing eighteen pounds,
the finder is said ID have received a
thousand dollars. During stormy
weather, when the wind and waves beat
violently against the coast, great
quantity OF amber is washed up. The
total yearly product is, however, ap-
parently on the decrease, and so the
price of amber is on the increase.
Professor Zaddach, of Konigsberg,
concludes that the trees yielding the
amber resin must have grown upon the
green-sand beds of the cretaceous forma-
tion, which at the timo formed the
shores of estuaries where the lower di-
vision of the tertiary accumulated. I'M
mediately over the mber-producing
strata rest the brown-coal beds, the fos-
sill plants found in which differ entirely
from the amber-bed flora. Many insects
and plants are found embalmed in the
amber. Over 800 species Of the former
have been named, and over 100 of the
latter.

Colds Affected by Diet.

There is no question that when the
system is in perfect condition it has n
marvellous ability to withstand not only
the extraordinary changes of our New
England climate, but even these with
what would generally be considered
gross carelessness added. | have known
men who would stand in the snow with
almost frozen feet and chop in the log-
ging swamp, day after day, all winter,

in cold water, wet to the middle. often
retaining wet garments all day, exempt
from any kind of illness, until, the sea-
son over, having period Of loafing in
summer, they would be subject to severe
"colds Tor the first time during the
year, and perhaps be laid up with fever
of some form. 1t may be said that
these men had become FUSED up" by
the winter and spring campaign and
that the summer sickness was the nat
ural result. Such is not the fact. So
long as they were working hard all day
long, and the cold weather lasted, their
systems could not only Withstand the
large amount OF food swallowed but
absolutely needed it to keep up flesh.
strength and animal heat. Hence
while these conditions lasted, these
men remained in perfect physical con.
dition, equal to any amount of labor
and exposure incident to their business.
But when all these conditions were re-
versed, and the men ignorantly heldSo
the same diet, which they invariably
did SO long as appetite lasted, disease
was the inevitable result. Often they
would lose their appetites in season 10
save them from violent illness, but
few escaped more or less harm from
eating in excess of the requirements o!
the system. In the army, during ac-
tive service. with no surplus of" hard
tack" colds were comparatively rare,
though we marched all day in the rain
and slept on the ground in wet clOtht 8

comfortable quarters, taking little ex-
else, and got Il nice box of turkey,
pies, cakes, and the like. from the dear
home friends who pitied us so, the
prevalence of "colds" was something
fearful to contemplate. How often we
remark upon the fact that when in
winter we nave week or two of nice
warm weather, everybody has a
cold" and such weather is called "un-
healthy" and unreasonable. II our
stoves and furnaces had palates to
tickle and were selEfeeding, what
summer comp aints there would be.
Fires would burn AS briskly in July as
in January, and fire pots would be
burned out as fast as >tomachs are used

flying conditions. Let us continue to
exercise sufficient care as to wraps.

unnecessary exposure; but aside from
all this We should live in so raticna. a

Advice to Correspondents.

Never write with pen or ink. 1t is
altogether too plain, and doesn't hold
the mind of the editor and printers
closely enough TO their work.
If you are compelled to use ink, never
use that vulgarity known as the blot
ting.pld. If you drop blot of ink on
the paper, lick it off. The intelligent
cOmpositor loves nothing so dearly Us
10 read through the smear this will
make across twenty or thirty words
We have seen him hang over such a
piece of copy half an hour. the time
swearing like pira e, he felt that good

uate all manuscript sent to us. And
don't use capitals. Then we can punct-
ua'e and capitalize to suit ourself, and
your article, when you see it in print.
will astouish. even if it does not please,
you.
Don't try to Iwrite too plainly. 1t is
a sign of plebian oriein and public
school breeding. Poor writing is an
in ication OF genius. It's about the
only indication of genius that great
many men possess. Scrawl your article
with your eyes shut and make every
word as illegible as you can. We get
the same price for it from the rag man
as though it were covered with copper
plate sentences.
Avoid all painstaking with proper
names. We know the full name of
every man, woman and child in the
United States. and the merest hint at
the name is sufficient. For instance, il
you write a character something like a
drunken figure go" and then draw a
wavy line, and the letter NJ and another
waving line, we will know at once that
you mean Samuel Morrison, even though
you may think you mean "Lemuel
Messenger" 1t is a great mistake that
proper names should be written plainly.
Always write on both sides of the
paper, and when you have filed both
sides OF every page. trail n line up and
down every margin, and back to the
top OF the 1rst page, closing your article
by writing your signature just above
the date. And how we would like to
get hold of the man who sends them
just for ten minutes. Alone, in the
woods, with cannon in our hip pocket
revenge is sweet; yum, yum, yum.
Lay your paper on the ground when
you write; the rougher the ground the
better.
Coarse brown wrapping-paper is the
best for writing sour articles on. Ii
you can tear down an old circus poster
and write on the pasty side oft with a
pen stick, it will do still better.
When your article is completed,
crulch your paper in your pocket, and
carry it two or three days before send
ing in. This rubs off the superlluous
pencil marks, and makes it lighter to
handle.
If you can think of it, lose one page
out of the middle of your article. We
can easily supply what is missing, an d
we love to do it. We have nothing else

Never answer questions in general
company that have been put to others.
Never, when travelling abroad be
over. boastiul of your own co Dtry.
Never lend an article you have bUr-
rowed, unless you have permission to
do 80.
Never attempt to draw the attention
Of the company upon yourself.
Never exhibit anger or impatience,
or excitement, when an accident hap
pens.
Never pass between two persoLs who
are talking together, without an apol-
ogy.
Never enter a room noisily.
Never fail TO close the door after you,
if you found 1T closed, and never slam it,.
Never forget that if you are faithful
in few things, you may be ruler over
many.

Sacred to the memory of Thomas Jackson,

great theater--the world, Tor many OF which
ho was prompted by nature TO excel. The
season being closed, his benefit over, the
charges all paid, and his accounts closed, he
made his exit in the tragedy of Death, March
II, l79S, in full assurance of being once more
called to rehearsal where he hopes to find
his iorfeits ali cared, his cast of parts bet
tered, and his situation made agreeable by
Him who paid the great stock debt by the
love He bore the performers in general.
In the Roman Catholic cemetery of
Mayne the following epitaph has caused
considerable trouble between the priests
and the people, the former declaring
that it is "profane, immoral and scam
