WHITTIER ON THE DEM
OCRATS,

Dear Friend: l regret to find that l
cannot, as 1 intended, be present at the
formation of republican club for Ames-
bury and Salisbury on the 18th inst. 1
must not, however, let the occasion pass
without expressing my hearty sympathy
with the movement, and my desire to CO.
operate with you in your labors in sup
port of candidate of pure character,
wise craftsmanship and lifelong fidelity
to the principles of the republican party,
the union Of the states and the security
Of the rights of person, property and
franchise. For myself / would gladly
find an excuse for retiring from active
participation in the coming election, and
would welcome with inexpressible relief
any decided manifestations of more
general and enlightened policy ON the
part of democrats towards the people of
color. But 1 look in vain for any good
| evidence of a change which would justify
| relaxation of zeal and vigilance on our
part. l have no words of personal dis
| arrangement for the democratic nominee,
and do full justice to the sincerity and
patriotism of many of his supporters +;
but, as arule, the party remains as it was
at the close of the war. The time has not
come when it will be safe to intrust the
financial interests of the country, and the
welfare of the emancipated class to a
party whose president can only be elected
by compromise with the greenback here
sy, and the virtual suppression by fraud
and violence of the vote of the colored
citizens of the southern states.
Massachusetts is not doubtful state.
Her vote will be given to the republican
nominee. But let us see to it that hel
= voice at the coming election has the
strong emphasis of the days of Sumner
Wilson and Andrew. Thy friend,
JOHN G. WHITTIER.

A PART OF THE RECORD.

During President Hayes administra-
ton the reduction of the annual interest
charge upon the public debt has been
nearly $l6,OOO,OOO. Since August,
1865, when the debt was at its maxi
mum, there was been decrease of this
particular burden to the amount of more
than ST. 100000, or from 1923 per
head of population to s1.56. This is
one of the beneficial results that have
come from republican administration of
national finances. 1t presents singu-
lar contrast with the condition which
prevailed under the last democratic ad-
ministration, when the government of
the United States was compelled to pay
IL per cent. interest upon even mod
crate loan. 1t should be borne in mind

THE LETTER OF
ACCEPTANCE.

General Garfeld's formal letter of ac-
ceptance of the Republican nomination
is just given to the country. 1t is
calm, unimpassioned review of some of
the principal topics that will be dis
cussed during the campaign. In Ian
guage that is simple and capable of
ready comprehension, in few pertinent
words the writer discloses the pith and
marrow of each of the principal ques-
lions which he conceives to enter into
the administration of the general gov
eminent. The letter is written by the
hand of statesman who has carefully
considered, with the grasp of practical
craftsmanship, what things are necessa-
ry for the life and strength of the ma
ton, what dangers may assail the ma
ton and how those dangers may be
warded off. There is no extravaganza
of expression, no high-sounding declar-
ations, no meaningless phrases, no ven
tilatiOn of impracticable theories. 1t is a
plain, straightforward, business-like
document, and it will contribute largely
to strengthen the candidacy of its
author. Sober thinking men will see
behind it the man whose calm wisdom
can be relied on in any trying emergen-
cy to guide the ship of state safely
through any storms that may arise, and
who, in peaceful times, will so direct
the acts Of peace that an era of health
full and unwonted prosperity will bless
our land. After the tumid tributes to
superb SOldiership which have flooded
the land, its clear, calm words are like
benson of peace to war-worn people.
-Watchman.

WAITE, THE BRATTLE-
BORO FORGER.

A letter has been received from
man representing himself to be detec-
tive. who promises for $1,000 to catch
S. M. Waite, the forger and defaulter,
and deliver him in Brattleboro within
20 days. Evidently the detective"
doesn't have very lively hopes that the
s., 900 reward voted by the directors
can ever be paid. Very few people
who ever knew Waite, however, have
any idea that he has been fool enough
to remain in the country until this time
or to 60 to any place where an extradi-
ton treaty could reach him. Extradi-
ton is subject which he has been
studying for several years and about
which he was thoroughly informed.
The amount of his forgeries and bor-
rowing of money on forged papers, so
far as known, is thus far S335,OO 1t
is also certain now that he took many
special deposits of bonds, sold them and
pocketed the money, so that with his
fraudulent stock and private debts, the
amount which he has swept out of this
community may be safely put at over
half a million of dollars and approach
ing 100000. Mr.. Price is going to
the bottom of the institution as fast as
skill and experience will enable him !;
and every days investigation makes
things worse and worse. No accounts
worthy of the name have been kept, and
he is satisfied that there has been no
capital in the bank for over FIVE years,
and that Waite has kept it afoat and
paid dividends by borrowing money on
forged paper in the cities, the amount
rapidly piling up of course every six
months. The wonderful resources of
the man are illustrated by the fact that
in this desperate condition of affairs he
has in one day within year paid out
over $4,000 on the checks of deposit
tors. About 20 years ago Waite bar
gained for piece of land in the vicinity
of the West river bridge. with Nelson
Crosby. He took possession but took
no deed, Mr.. Crosby refusing to give
one until Waite should give mortgage
back; this he refused to do and conse.
quently none was given, though Waite
has had possession of the land till now,
and every six months paid therefor the
interest on the purchase price agreed
upon, $4,000. After Waite absconded
Mr.. Crosby undertook to take posses.
sion and cut the hay, but Will Waite
asserted his right to it by adverse pos
session as his fathers agent, and ousted
Mr.. Crosby. Crosby has brought a sui
of trespass against young Waite, and
had him arrested. He gave bail and

THE Toxic Times thus describes a
December festival on the grounds of the
Emperor's palace: "Many ladies were
present, japanese and foreign-the
former, it was pleasant to note, as COM
pletely at their ease and as keen for
enjoyment as if participating in a
Thames picnic-as several of them had,
doubtless, done. Some, indeed, were
actually unattended by their husbands,
and yet the earth did not heave with
indignation nor Fuziyama roar in erupt-
i've protest. The sun shone and the
trees nodded approvingly in the light
breeze, just as if no social marvel were
manifesting itself in that antique strong
hold of tradition and immovable rou-
tine.''

pure=bred fowls is, that By constantly
breeding from the same stock it is apt
to "run OUT. become unhealthy, and
otherwise inferior. The term dung
hill " usually conveys the idea of a fowl
that possesses none of the good quail
ties of blooded stock, and all the poor
ones. But in the "dung-hill =" to
which I refer, it is directly the opposite,
the breed being composed of crosses
from all the most desirable varieties.
This plan have tried for years, and it
has worked admirably. By occasional
ly buying or exchanging rooster, or by
getting a setting of good eggs now and
then, it is easy to introduce any desired
breed; by judicious management the
weight, size, color, etc., of the whole
flock can be changed, with a certainty
of having good, hardy birds. 1t has al
ways been my aim to keep the breed as
thoroughly mixed as possible. In short,
what wish to assert is, pure-bred stock
never has been, and never will be able
to take the place of the "dung-hill :" or
ordinary barn-yard fowl, which, by
proper care in crossing the breeds, can
be made a most useful kind of fowl, and,
in regard to hardness, beauty and other
desirable qualities, will compare favor
ably with the best blooded varieties

When thou art weary of the world, and lean
Upon my breast,

And thou shalt rest;
When thou art eagerly, but vainly aiming
At some far end,
Thou knowest not thy pining and complain
Have pierced thyFriend.
My presence is'around thee and about thee
Thou dost not know
But if thou knewest, thou wouldst ne'er doubt
Hove thee so.
Thou art a very child, and needest guiding
Thee will lead:
Another guide might be too quick in Gliding,
Nor know thy need.
Lean on ,me, child-nor faint beneath thy
signing,
With help so near:
I took upon me all thy grief and dying
To heal thy fear.
When thou art resting in my secret dwelling
Swallowed by me,
Thou shalt not tire of listening| of telling
My love for thee.
Thine eyes are bent upon each loving token
Sent by my hand;
With these alone thy spirit would be broken
In thy fair land.
Thou art lover of all things of beauty
In earth and space;
Then, surely, 'twere thy pleasure and thy
Their source to trace.
Track the bright river of each much priced
blessing
Back to its source;
See all the blooming growth thy foot is press

Along its course.
See, gathered in thy storehouse of sweet
dreaming,
Each glowing thought, .
Which daylight starlight, or the moons sweet
cleaning
To thee have brought,
All real beauty which thy heart is greeting
In this fair earth
All music which thy charmed ear is meeting,
From me had birth.
But this viii be revealed when thou art lean

Upon my breast, ..
Thy soul shall comprehend my hidden mean
