Weather Signs.

There are certain weather signs that
are good deal to be relied upon. If at
night you observe remarkable clear
ness of the atmosphere near the horizon,
and an unusual brilliancy or twinkling Of
the stars, it indicates unusual humidity
in the upper regions of the atmosphere,
and is therefore an indication Of ap-
preaching rain. Dew and fogs arc indi-
cations of fine weather, and halos, CO.
rome, &C., indicate rain or snow. When
the outlines Of cumulous clouds are sharp,
it indicates dry atmosphere, and, there
fore, fine weather. A light scud driving
across hazy clouds indicates heavy wind
and rain. When the upper clouds move
in direction different from that of the
lower clouds, or that of the wind then
blowing, the wind will soon change.

Oriental "Progress."
What in the modern slang OF social
science is called progress" is breaking
out in Oriental lands where hitherto it
has been kept under with little difficulty.
But the notions peculiar to countries OF
railroads and steamboats, seem to accom-
pany that sort of locomotion wherever it
goes. Thus in Constantinople within
few years the Turks are beginning to
go to public houses and drink liquor
openly, even in the neighborhood of the
mosques. This is in the face Of the
strict prohibition Of the Koran, which
enioins total abstinence. The women,
too. initiating their European sisters, are
gradually dropping the wells which con-
ceal their features. They now wear a
thin gauzs veil which practically hides
nothing; but on seeing an official APP
proach, they drop heavier one. Still
further East the English magistrate in
the district OF India where the "car Of
Juggernaut" is brought out has, before
allowing it to move ON its annual process
sion OF crushing the faithful under its
wheels, ordered patent safety-brakes
upon the car.

THE KNoITED HISTORY OF cow.
Some two months ago, present, in the
shape of a good looking COW, was given to
one Of our young citizens by his new father
in law. All went well for a short time, but
the COW soon showed her breeding. On one
OF her tantrums she destroyed fine bee
hive, and soon after got up and eloped.
Search was made and she was found quietly
quartered in somebody else's barn.
Upon inquiriDg it was found that
this second party was rejoicing
over the return of his long lost COW. Now
the fun commences. Here was Mr. 0)
claiming his wedding present and Mr.. (2)
claiming his strayed COW returned. Both
went then to the father-in-law and the matter
was laid before him. He states that some
twelve months ago cow came to his prem
ises and after advertising the property put
the COW ia with his live stock, calling it one
of his own. He could not state whether it
was the cow in question or not. The fms
must be fore and hind quarter of beef for
both parties.

MONARCHICAL METHODS.


Some of the Republican papers are urg-
ing upon the attention of the members elect
of the next Congress number of schemes
that are of great Importance to the people
of the country in general-of far more i'm
portance than cursory consideration would
suggest. In the first place it is suggested
that the government establish what Is called
postal savings bank. in which small deposit
tors could place their savings subject to
order at any city in the country. It is
further urged that the government should
take control of the telegraphic lines, and
make it branch of the postal service. 1t is
also part of the same plan for the govern
ment to assume control of the railroads at
least so far as the transportation of passen-
gers il concerned.
There are goodsmany reasons urged in
favor of all these three schemes that, on su-
perfcial inspection appear to be good. Ii is
urged on behalf ofthe postal savings system
that there would be greater security for the
accumulations of the thrifty than there is
now in the private savings banks, and that
il would be great convenience to have de-

Lost His Right Hand.

speech, as hair on goats head. Each day

This time it becomes necessary to record

posits available at any point in the United
States. There is some weight in these ar
guments. But will these advantages coun
terbalance the fact that every person who
deposits his savings with the government in
effect surrenders his independence to whoev.
er happens to be in charge of his funds? II
may seem a small matter, yet it is neverthe-
less fact that when a man places his peck
et-book in charge of government official,
he in effect becomes that officials abject
| slave. Favors can be rendered or
withheld as shall best please the man who
holds the purse strings of the citizen, and
unconsciously he becomes nothing more
than the mouth-piece of those who control
the government. He will not dare to act
independently on political matters through
fear that he may suffer financially in conse-
quence.
The proposition to place the telegraph
under governmental control is equivalent to
placing the communicat ions of private citi-
zens under the surveillance of those who
happen to be in control of the government.
Telegraphic dispatches should be as invio.
liable as communications by mail, but they
could not be SO if placed in charge of public
officials. For this reason if for no other tie
project of giving control of the telegraph
wines to the government should be aban-
doned.
The scheme of placing the railroads under
control of the government is another of the
plans to centralize all power in the hands of
few 1t is true that at present the govern
ment is practically under control of the rail
way corporations, but to reverse the situa-
ton would be like jumping from the frying
pan into the fire.
All three propositions are of the same
kidney. They are part of the general plan
to create nation, with all that the name
implies, upon the ruins of the republic.
They will be supported actively by the mon
archists of the Republican party who COM
pose the controlling element of that organi-
cation. They are but entering wedges in
the plot to overthrow republicanism and in
stitute strong government which shall ex-
ercise paternal control over the private af-
fairs of all citizens, whatever they may be,
lofty or humble. All should be opposed by
every person who loves civil liberty and the
right of man to govern themselves.
