The AininC lIOrns

The Alpine horn is an instrument
made of the bark of cherry tree, and
like speaking trumpet, is used to con-
vey sounds to great distance. When
the last rays of the sun gild the summit
of the Alps, the shepherd who inhabits
the highest peaks of these mountains
takes his horn, and cries in loud voice:
Praised be the Lord" As soon as the
neighbor shepherds hear him they leave
their huts, and repeat these words.
The sounds are prolonged many min
utes, while the echoes of the rocks re-
peat the name of God. Imagination
cannot picture anything more solemn
than such a scene. During the silence
that succeeds, tue shepherds bend their
knees and pray in the open air, then
repair to their huts to rest. The
sunlight gliding the tops of these
stupendous mountains, upon which the
vault of heaven seems to rest, the
magnificent scenery around, and the
voices of the shepherds sounding from
rock to rock the praise of the AlmiG hty,
fill the mind of every traveller with
enthusiasm and awe

The shooting OF taliow candle
through a plank of deal can be per-
formed with safety and success: "Set
up u half-inch or three -quarter-inch
deal OF board in the ground. 1t should
be six to eight inches wide. Ram small
charge Of powder into gun with wad.
Select dip candle just fitting bore; cut
down to about five inches long with. flat
end. Be very particular to ram it down
well, ior if there is air space between it
and the wad, there is risk of bursting
gun. Take care that rest of barrel is
cleared of bits OF tallow. Fire at say
three yards from plank. If you don't
miss aim there will be hole torn about
two inches in diameter.

TO Crafty HIS WIFE.
An Interesting Story-A Hopeless Case
Cured by using DIR. Kennedy's
"Tavorite Remedy"
Statement of Mr.. Washington Monroe Of Catskill,
Greene County, n. Y.

i
"For many years I had suffered from
complaint which the physicians called Gravel.
I had employed some Of the most noted doc
tors without obtaining any permanent relief,
and for a long time my case was regarded as
hopeless. All who knew the circumstances
said must die. Finally, my wife induced
me to try bottle of Dr.. Kennedy's 'Favorite
Remedy which she had somewhere heard OF
or seen advertised. Without the slightest
faith in it, but solely to crafty her, bought
bottle Of a druggist in our village. I used
that and two or three bottles more, and-to
make a long story short am now as healthy
a man as there is in the country.
"Since then I have recommended 'Favorite
Remedy to others whom knew to have sui
fered from Kidney and Liver complaints; and,
I assure the public, that the 'Favorite Rem
edy' has done its work with similar com
pleteness in every single instance, and trust
some other sick and discouraged mortal may
hear of it and try the 'Favorite Remedy, "as
I did" 20

The Maine Controversy.

Some of our Democratic contemp.
oraries treat the controversy now
raging in Maine in a name which
seems to US mistaken and injudic.
ious. Without inquiring or ccnsid
ering whether the present author.
tiles of Maine have done right or
wrong in dealing with the election
returns, they loudly tell the Repub.
licans that, even if they are now
counted out in that State, they are
only suffering in n smaller way the
same kind of discipline which they
themselves applied when they made
HAYES President after Mr.. TILDEN
had been elected.
This reasoning will not do. It is
true the Republicans got the Pres.
idency by a political crime which,
we would fain hope, will not be re
peated in this country; but that fact
cannot serve as an apology or palia
ton for the perpetuation of q similar
crime in Maine or in any other Com
monwealth. The argument is a nat
ural one, we dare say, but it ought
not to be allowed. If Governor
GARcELoN and his associates have
acted in strict obedience to the Con
stituticn and the laws of Maine
then they are right and should bt
justified; if they have violated the
Constitution and the laws, then they
are wrong and should be condemn
ed. This is the only real issue
and to this point the question should
vigorously be held.-N. Y. Sun.

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.
w AoHINUION, u. O'y
Dec "a 1879.

. L
Republicans in all sections of the
country looked to the present session
of Congress for some act which
would give them capital for the next
campaign. 1t is history now that,
up to the holiday adjournment, they
were disappointed. In the ordinary
range of probability, nothing is more
certain than that such disappoint-
ment will be their portion
ing the proceedings of the remainder
Of the session. The Democratic par
ty, in fact, is the conservative and
law and order party. 1t believes not
only in the Constitution, but in set
tied relations of society. Violent
outbreaks of popular feeling, if they
occur in the ordinary course of
events, will not be in Democratic
States, or, at least, will not be the
work of Democrats.
The appropriation bills which
passed the House before adjourn
ment were, as l have said in previ-
GUS letter, those which were substan-
TALLY repeated without. variation
from year to year. The principal
one-the Pension appropriation bill
called for more money than ever
before, and that money was voted
unanimously. There is, l may say,
an equally unanimous vote for a
change in the present pension sys
tenn. 1t is believed 10y Democrats,
and Republicans alike that the pres
ent system puts too much power in
to the hands of a single individual.
1.-THE Commissioner of Pensions,
whose signature creates this indeht-
edness of thirty or more millions
each year, is supreme in the matter.
All other officers, with even a tenth
of this responsibility, have over them
COMMITTEES or other supervising Of
~fcials. Such will be provided for
the Commissioner of Pensions at
this session.
This, however, will not prolong
che session much. Neither will the

Flunkeyism.

The Logan EGaminer says that
Mons. Halstead, the facile editorial
chief of the Cincinnati Commercial,
holds himself in readiness to sit
down on himself and take the fol-
lowing back whenever the interests
of the Republican party may de-
mand the sacriice:
"We got along very we'll without
Grant while he was sailing round
the world, and we do not need him
now. There are n million of citi-
zens of the United States rs capable
as he of being a good President fol
the four years succeeding Hayes
Any capable justice of the peace
would be his equal in the Chief
Magistracy. The American people
must not be permitted to make
asses of themselves about the need
of rulers. We do not require any
body to rule over us. We are Re
publicans, and rule ourselves. The
President isn't a ruler"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-01-01
On the reassembling of Congress

On the reassembling of Congress
Washington will be the headquar-
tiers of more intrigues in connection
with the Republican nomination for
the Presidency than has ever been
known before, and all plans to fore
stall its results will be fully matured.
There will be a seyere struggle be-
tween the Congressional friends of
Blaine and Sherman. The support
ers of Blaine are counting with con-
fidence on the "Grant reversion,"
and insist that Blaine is willing to
retire in his favor, provided Sher-
