Political Notes.

The late Grant postmaster at New Orleans,
j. NJ. g. Parker, and a brotherin-la law Of
Gen. Butler, has come out for Hancock and
English at his home, in Lowell, Mass.
The Chairman OF the Maryland State Re-
publican committee has addressed a circular
to the Custom House employees in Baltimore
asking for the modest contribution Of five per
cent. Of their salaries for campaign purposes,
with the assurance on his part that he knows
it will be pleasure for them to contribute.
A very close personal friend Of Senator
Thurman, living in Washington, received a
letter from him on Tuesday in which some at
teution is devoted 10 Ohio politics. He speaks
enthusiastically Of Democratic prospects, and
says that he has no doubt Ohio will give
Democratic majority at the State election
next month.
The Washington correspondent of the Bal.
tlmore SnR, under date of September It'll,
says;--It seems to be so well known that the
Republican campaign treasury is empty that
no attempts are made to conceal 1t. A large
amount OF money has been spent in Maine
aud no inconsiderable sum in Vermont.
Frequent remittanees have also been made to
Ohio and Indiana. SO far as the two States
last named are concerned il is now discovered
that the money had been poured through a
sieve, and the cry is extremely urgent for
more and plenty Of it. So much has been
contributed BY the department employees here
that the managers have not the face to call on
them again, at least until after the October
election, when another grand rally will be
r,r ~. But casting their eyes around il was
discovered that the employees Of the govern
ment insane hospital had not been called upon,
aud the circulars asking for voluntary con
tributions were sent TO every one Of them,
even including the poor serub-women. The
next thing will be 10 ask the patients for a
contribution.
The city campaign committee Of the demo.
cratic party IN Philadelphia have notified the
assessors and United States supervisors OF cleo
tons that under authority OF the committee
careful aud accurate canvass Of the legal vo
tiers Of each division Of Philadelphia has been
made, the result of which, compared with the
names now contained upon the assessors lists,
shows that over IL, 900 legal voters have been
Intentionally dropped from the lists by the as.
SCISSORS, and illegal, fraudulent and fictitious
names TO the number Of Al ,S77 added thereto
The committee give notice that unless the as.
SCISSORS lists are Immediately purged Of all the
illegal, fraudulent and fictitious names con.
tainsd thereon, and the names of all legal yo-
tiers added thereto, criminal proceedings will
be commenced against the assessors daring

From the Augusta (Me.) Journal, Oct. u.
The Hon Neal DOW has been ex
changing views on the political situa
ton with friend and speaking out
with the frauknsss that disting uishst
his ut.erances.
Contrasting ths NO leading oandi
dates for the Presidency, and realizing
that one or the other is to be- chosen.
Gen. Dow declares ~ was never more
o stalwar. Republican than I am now,
and do most earnestly wish success to
Gen. Garfield
And, after referring to several other
points, Gen. Dow added: "1here
is, indeed, no man in the country |
would prefer 10 Garfield for President,
except Senator Blaine, whose uomina.
tion | earnestly desired"
Being inquired Of as to prohibito'
ry electoral ticket in Maine, Gen. Dow
answered very frankly thst "to put
such ticket in the field at this time
wo1ld be simply to aid Hancock and
injure Garfield" And that is pre-
cisely the result which Gen. Dow.
"does not desire 10 be accomplished. "
In his judgment, "no grester calamity
Coald happen to the country than to
place its Government under the lead Of
the solid South" And, aside from the
political evils OF Southern domination,
hs "would regard Haucock's election as
an overwhelming disaster to the great
business prosperity now everywhere
developing throughout the county.
It is the opinion OF Gen. Dow that
"evcry Republican in the State who
felt dissatisfaction to any degree with
Gov. Davis will support Garfield
working for him and voting for him.

Did They Talk TOgetherf

A few years ago there was on Texas
cattle ranch large and valuable i'm
ported Brahma bull, the acknowledged
champion Of the range. Two graded
bulls seemed to be the especial objects
of his dislike, and he never missed an
opportunity for telling them to the
ground.
These two bulls were also never seen
to meet each other on friendly terms.
One morning, however, the herdsmen
observed them standing with their horns
locked, and their noses almost touching
the grass, yet there was nothing in their
actions that indicated an unfriendly
spirit. They appeared to be communing
about something.
This attitude continued for a few
minutes, when one of the bulls started
off in a heavy trot, uttering an angry,
subdued below, and flashing his tail.
The other followed short distance be-
hind.
On they went to where the Brahma
bull was grazing. The meeting, as
usual, resulted in the Branma promptly
knocking over the first bull that ap-
preached, but just as he was in the act,
the other ran up and drove his horns
into his side. The Brahma staggered q
few steps, fell and soon died.
The two graded bulls then quietly
walked off in different directions, and,
although they remained in the herd long
afterward, they were never again seen
fghting.-Cor. Youths Companion.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The Methodist Church in Texas re-
ports 80, 499 members, 759 local preach
ers, 537 churches, and 385 pastors.
The Danielites is the latest English
sect. Its members promise to abstain
from fish, flesh, and fowl, from beer,
wines, and liquors, and from snuff and
tobacco. They must maintain 3 vege-
table diet.
Christ will come and the millennium
begin in September, 1881, according to
the calculations of the Rev. Mr.. Rounds,
an Adventist of Portsmouth, n. H., who
has devoted seven years to figuring out
the matter on chart 260 feet long.
The Superintendent of Public Edu-
cation of Louisiana is much displeased
with the action of the Legislature in fix
ing tax of only one mill for the sup
port of common schools. He considers
the people of the State able to pay tax
of three mills, and claims that this rate
is needed to maintain the schools.
The Jesuits are reported to have
concluded that the French Ministry will
enforce the laws against religious
orders, and already instructions have
been given by the Superior of the Order
to all members who are not of French
birth to leave the country. Spain and
Belgium are the places where they will
seek refuge.

founder of Harvard College. He was an
Englishman, came to this country and
died in Charleston, Mass, Sept. "a,
1888. He left f70O to found college.
A monument to his memory was erected

the alumni of the college, and inaugu-
rated Sept. 26, 1928, with an address by
Edward Everett. At the suggestion of
the Rev. DR.. George E. Ellis, the late
Hon, James Savage once offered 500 a
line for five lines about John Harvard,
and got no information.
The Baptist ministers of Philadel-
phia have been discussing the question,
Sc Is the pulpit losing its powerp" The
principal speaker admitted that the
churches, but he added: "What then?
The minister of Christ is not the head
of a house of public entertainment. If
the public entertainer does not draw he
is failure. Not so with the preacher.
He may have small following and yet
do great good" Another said that the
preachers who attracted the largest
congregations were by no means the
most influential; another thought that
preachers had weakened themselves by
meddling with politics; and another re-
marked: The inveterate tendency on
the part of the press to hold Christian
sentiment up to ridicule, and to attack
the character of the ministry, has had
much to do in making US lose our

A Great Help.

It is little remarkable that so many
families in our large country towns
and their surrounding regions have not
more universally initiated the example
of the poor emigrant, who, on the mo-
ment that he lands, looks about him
and proceeds to get his potato patch
and his COW into action. OF course in
cities and their immediate neighbor-
hoods such thing is impracticable, If
not impossible; but in towns built like
the most, loosely and over large terri
tory, and where almost every house has
its bit of land about it or behind it, q
dead waste takes place, and a great
help is thrown away in failing to pro-
cure "the little cow" as the affection
ate Ir:shman is wont to call this gener-
GUS provider. And this was never more
worthy of consideration than at the
present, when, for some fortunate
reason. the price Of . COW is so won
derfully moderate that the animals are
all bMt given away, and good one
can be procured without trouble for
thirty dollars. A couple of acres of
land will comfortably pasture the crea-
ture, once in possession, through all the
summer months; or, if one has not the
land, small sum of money will pay
for the pasturage elsewhere, and the
winter feed is less than three tons of
hay with few bushels of meal. The
work of taking care of her is so light
that no man in any family of moderate
needs to grumble if called
upon to do it; but as he very probably
will grumbIe, it is blessing to know
that small boy, in consideration of
