Buffalo Commercial: The intensely re-
spectacle Republicans, the v1lvet-gloved
conservatives, the ice-tea reformers rep
resented by the Springfield Republican,
evidently will not be satisfied unless the
Republican party first ask the will and
pleasure of the Democratic managers be-
fore any nomination is made at the Chica
go Convention. Perhaps, too, this policy
would suit the New York "Scratchers."
They are ready to do "anything TO beat
Grant" and it is certain that the "Solid
South" Democrats d. not want to see
Grant again President. The "Conserva-
tives" in Massachusetts, and the "Scratch-
ers' in New York, have kindly drawn up
list comprising the Republicans for
whom they will not vote. Now why not
have the Republican party abstain from
any action until the Democrats and the
various species of the independent" po-
litical genus, decide what the Republicans
ought to do, and then the Chicago Con-
vention can govern itself accordingly.

Mrs. Hayes is very unconventional, and
gossip delights to make much OF it. One
sunny day, recently, her carriage was OBJ
served standing in front of Judge Bently's
residence, Washington, from which she
herself and lady friend had just stepped
out. 1t was the Presidents carriage, for
it's panels bore the National crest, but the
idea of the Presidents wife making ordi-
nary calls paased comprehension. What
was more the call was noted for it's un-
companion seem to have remained long
enough to partake of lunch and it was as
certained to have been true that Mrs.
Hayes had stayed to " lunch with her old
friend Mrs. Bently, who was, formerly.
Mrs. Mccoy, the widow of an army officer,
and was for some years an employe i'll the
Interior Department, until her marriage
with Judge Bently, year ago. Mrs Hayes
is said to be very informal in her reception
of friends. She sometimes receives ex-
cursion parties with great Zest. She is
hardly ever without guests, usually per-
sonal friends. She avoids, like poison the
circles, sets and cliqueS that have afflicted
the White House. A metropolitan letter
tells this bit about her woman nature:
"When in New York last fall, 1 wanted"
she said, "to look into the shop windows
just as other people do, so one eveaing
just after dark, tied on my bonnet, and
Fanny and l went out and stared into just
as many winpows as we wanted to-"
The Buffalo Commercial sets forth with
such whitening setire the attitude ola GER
tain journal that we quote: GA feeble
protest comes from the Springfield Repub-
licGn against the nomination of either
Grant or Blaine. But what sort of Republi-
can dose that once powerfully edited news
paper represent? 1t certainly does not
speak for earnest, 'stalwart' men who
will go to Chicago, determined first to
promote the success of the Republican
party. For years has the Republican
been devoted to an independence which
ton to the Republican party from those
who are too cowardly or too polite to
wear the Democratic uniform and come
out in the field for square fight. The
Republican is the organ Of mi!k-shop,
spurious Republicanism, that stands
ready to throw the fight into the Demo
cratic party's hands provided that the
Republican candidates do not suit and
arrogant, mutal-admirations society among
certain would-be statesmen in New Eng
land New York city. The party can elect
either Grant or Blaine with out aid from
the Spring field Republican just as easily
as it did elect Grant in 1872, in spite of
that papers open revolt and desperate
resistance.

The Cycle of the Seasons.

Mr.. l.. j. Lowe, of the Nottingham OBJ
servatory, writes to the London Times
as follows: There can be no reasonable
doubt that a cycle of the seasons exists,
though its precise period has yet to be
ascertajned. A heightened investigation
has, however, satisfied me that the cycle
is about eleven years. Thus every
eleven years, drought and heat are ex-
perienced-usually of three years dura-
tion-that is to say, the drought recurring
in three consecutive summers. Although
the calculated period may be assumed
TO be eleven years from the commence
ment of one drought to that of the next,
certain disturbing influences operate
from time to time, and occasionally ac-
CELEBRATE or retard the return of these
droughts by one or two years. one
striking fact to be specially observed Is
that the periods of extreme heat and
cold are grouped together. The records
of remarkable droughts and frosts,
which have been handed down to us by
the chroniclers, show that great droughts
have usually been preceded by severe
frosts, and as frequently followed by
frosts of greater or less severity-that
is to say, in the majority of instances, 50
tremes of our temperature are in groups
Of somewhere about five years, followed
by like period in which the heat and
cold are not excessive. In this series of
years, midway between these periods of
excessive heat and cold, when tie
weather is more or less free from frosts
in winter, and from droughts and heats
in summer, we have, for example, from
1869 to the present time scarcely am
drought recorded in the fourth, fifth ana
sixth years after the computed com
mencement Of what may be termed the
drought period. In many instances the
severe winter has preceded the first
year, drought by period of less than
six Nonths.
In former days a famine was the natu-
raj consequence of time of drought,
50 that Il record of famine is almost sure
indications of drought. Indeed, ii will
be obvious that time Of scarcity would
be regarded as far more important oc-
currence than a mere meteorological
phenomenon. and hence famines are fire.
quently recorded in chronicles when
droughts are ignored.

Standard Books.

Many fadies think they would not be
interested in standard works, so VIII not
ATTEMPT to read them. Therein they err.
Not long since, an intelligent lady was
telling me how surprised she was to
find Bacons Essays interesting. She
said: II was lying on the lounge III my
husbands library once yening, after an
unusually wearisome day, and took it mp
because it was the nearest book, and
really felt as if | could not cross the
room for another. | was perfectly abb
sorbed before | knew it, and read for an
hour with sense Of freshness and eX-
liberation which had not known for a
long time. | felt somehow as If / had
got back to the beginning of things. /
had always supposed that Lord Bacon,
being very learned, was therefore very
dull and entirely beyond my compre-
hension" If you like history, what a
field opens before you! Ifyou are fond
of science. scientific works are numer-
Gus. If you imagine any of these de-
partments, "too literary" and cannot be
happy without novel, there are works
of fiction that are as important part OF
ones education as--quadratic equations,
to say the least: "Rolnola," "lyanhoe,'
"Hypatia," David Copperteld, PEN
dennis" The Scarlet Letter" Just thihk
of all the books so well worth reading
and yet people will continue to draw out
Of the libraries dreary Society novels
or poor TRANSACTIONS Of worse French
and German love stories 1t is like eat
ing apple-skins and pototoe-parlngs
when bananas and oranges can be had
for the pickingl Try to elevate your
taste in this particular.

THE MARRIED MAN.

Adown the street the married man
starts of with hurried tread.
But from the door a wifely voice
Calls, Don't forget he bread"
He smiles and mods. and turns to go,
The careless married man,
When loud the servant calls him: oh.
You haven't got the cant"
He mods again, In fretful style,
But pulleth down his hat,
And 10, his sister with a smile,
Cries, Wont you bring my hatr'
,"oh. yes" he shouts, and, truth to tell,
lie need not shout so loud;
But shrill his son, with stunning yell,
"Theater tickets for the crowd"
His daughter, from the window high,
Estops him with her call,
She wants a fan, a pair of gloves.
And "a new pink parasol.
He hears no more; far down the street
His echoing footsteps fly;
And all day long, in measure feet,
He huns, sweet buy and buy"
But when the evening respite brings,
And his days toll is done,
Though told to get hundred things.
He hasn't got one.

Alcohol and Fowls.

The influence Of alcoholic drinks en-
fowls. He administered to them brandy
and absinthe, and found one and all
to take 50 kindly 70 their unwonted
stimulants that he was forced to give
each bird limited daily allowance.
There was extraordinary development
of cocks crests, and a rapid and general
loss of flesh. The experiments were
continued until it appeared that two
months absinthe drinking sufiiced to
kill the strongest cock or hen, while me

months, and the wine-bibbers held on
Tor ten months before they died the

A Coon LAWS. greater fallacy
exists than the idea that speding ia
better than blowing Of an equal depth.
No filth can be better than that given by
the pillow, followed by frequent and con-
tinual applications Of the harrow Level
ing with the spade can then be executed
in the most perfect manner, and the
finishing touch can then be given by &
light cross-plowing and narrowing. Seed
should be always literally applied and,
instead of the various lawn mixtures,
we believe in the use Of simple red-top
seed, together with very little white
clover; and when it is thus applied dur
ing quiet hours of the day, that il may
fall evenly, two or three years should
suffice TO grow a thick, velvety turf.
Weeds are the great enemies Of good
turf, and every lawn should be kept as
free from these pests as iloWer-garden.
Thf employment of good artificial fer
,llizers greatly helps 70 secure pcrma-
nent freedom from weeds, since foul
seeds cannot very well lurk in them.

tons Of snow collected on mountain
tops and within the Arctic circle far be-
yond the influence Of factories and
smoke, confirm the suppostion that
minute PARTICLES Of iron float ~ the at
mosphere, and in time fall 10 the earth.
Some physicists believe that these float
ing particles of iron are concerned IN
the striking phenomena Of the aurora.
Gronemann, Of Gottingen, holds that
streams Of the particles reyolvc around
the sun, aud that when passing the
earth they are attracted to the poles,
and then stretch forth as long hiaments
into space. But as they travel with
planetary velocity they become ignlted
In our atmosphere, and thus produce
tie luminous appearance Of aurore. In
his recent voyages, Prof NordenskJold
examined snow far in the north beyond

ingly small particles of metallic Ron,
phosphorus and coDait.

The Tide.Water Oil-Pipe Line.

The first flow of oil from the Bradford
oil district reached Williamsport, Pa,
June 4th, 1878. Only few trifiing leaks
were discovered in the entire length OF
he pipe, or over hundred miles. The
line starts at Williamsport and runs
slightly north of west over the noun
Lains into Potter county and on to Cory
vile, or Frisbie, the initial point, in
Mexican. 1t passes over a high range of
mountains near the village of Water
Vile, at the forks of Pine creek, where
great difficulties were overcome in lay
ing the pipe.
There are tanks at Coryville and q
pumping station. The next pumping
station is at a point four miles from
Coudersport, where tanks had been put
up and buildings erected for the engine,
etc. The distance from Coryville TO
pump station No. 2 is 22l miles; from
there to Williamsport is 774, and the
oil when raised 200 feet at the summit,
runs down TO Williamsport of its own
gravity, as Tie fall is 2,l00 feet. The
pumping engines are forty horse power
each, and each has an equal share OF
the lifting to do in the way Of applica-
ton Of power. The pipe is six inches in
diameter, and required $4,000 barrels of
oil to fill it, AT Williamsport, receiv-
ing tanks holding nearly 10000 barrels
had been provided and seventy oil ears
were in readiness to transport the first
flow over the Reading railroad. The
capacity of the pipe line is about 6,OOq
barrels per day.

Eggs hatch much better if the nests
are made by placing a cut of turf and a
shovel Of mold, sand or ashes in a box
or basket, and on this little short straw,
than if straw only is used. In this way a
convenient hollow is obtained, that pre-
vents the eggs rolling out from under
the setting hen In cool weather the
eggs are kept Of much more equal tenn
perature than in nests made simply Of
loose straw.
