assure the North american that there is no
difficulty here on that score. In this city,
at least, all the voters get to the polls, and
more, too. The difficulty is to keep the
poll down to tho Republican vote Of the

resident of COatesville, had been to his
farm in West Brandywine township, some
six miles distant, after some tomatoes,
and on his return home, drew up in front

in the rear end of the wagon, when the

by flies, and in stamping and kicking at
them threw Mr.. Dripps out he fell head
foremost, and in so doing broke his neck.

The English Parliament assemblies
under rather depressing circumstances.
The real business of the session-the
Irish Question-was entered upon at
once. The Queens address intimates
the intentions of the government-to
seek authority to put down the violent
breaches of the law in summary way,
and to secure by legislation such modi-
fcations of the land tenure as may serve
to pacify the present evaporation and
afford some relief. Mr.. Parnell, how
ever, with his coadjutors, announces a
positive opposition to all these measures,
demanding more radical and revolution
airy changes, and already violent dis
cussion has occurred. Earl Beaconsfeld
in the House of Lords opens a general
attack upon the Gladstone administra-
tion as precipitating, By change of pol
icy, the Eastern, South African and
Irish troubles upon the country. 1t is
an hour when Englishmen can enjoy, to
its fullest extent, the national luxury Of
growing. There is occasion enough fol-
uncomfortable feeling; and the existing
government presents the most accessible
object for denunciation. But, then
Parliament will vote all the supplies
Great Britain will fully sustain til,
honor of her flag, and in some way, at +;
large expense of money and painful
loss of men, she will maintain her SOW
ereignty wherever she has heretofore
asserted it. When will Christina
come with the Prince of Peace triumph
ant?

A SATISFACTORY ADMINS
TRATION.

Occasionally man is met who finds
fault with President Hayes administra-
ton because it has not been marked"
in any way. In one sense it is true,
and in another not. 1t has not been
marked with any jobs, nor steals. So
cial life in Washington has not been so
extravagant. Impeachments have not
been heard of. Cabinet ministers have
been respected and will go out with
honor. The president has not an enemy
among true men inside or out of the
party. No exposures are held over the
head of prominent officials. Men who
have been found guilty at the bar of
public opinion, are not welcome at the
White House, nor are intoxicants used
there. The administration is not a
great political machine, nor "bosses" in
good odor with it.
In none of these aspects has this ad-
ministration been marked" one. But
it has done few things worthy of no.
tice.
1t has reduced the public debt about
$150.000.000. During its term the re.
publican party has regained the house
of representatives. and will almost have
the senate. Through ITS record Gen
Garfeld's election was a possibility
Specie payments have been resumed and
successfully kept up. The ''solid South
is fast. disiDtegrating. Honesty anc
capability are becoming the criteria il
the civil service. Our foreign relations
are honorable. A reign of prosperit,
hardly dreamed of has made the nation
happy and rich. The atmosphere o
official society has changed, and there j
no more talk of imperialism"
In the minds of some these things ar
not sufficient to call this marked
administration, but the majority of pee
pie are perfectly satisfied. 1t is
striking fact that hereafter the les
"marked" administrations are made
the better will the masses appreciat
them.-lS. Adams Messenger

there is not a fatal fire every day. In
this case some plumbers tried to fill a
newfangled thawing machine with gaso-

there were plenty of wounds among those

If any reader, whose eye shall meet this,
wants a CHEEKY, bright, religious paper,
we advise him to send three dollars at
once to The Christian at Work, and give
it trial. The Christian at Work is non
sectarian; that is, it does not confine itself
to the interests of one denomination, but
gives the news of all. 1t has valuable
Sunday school lessons; its editorial pens
traverse all subjects of current interest;
it's family and home department are as
peculiar as they are unexcelled; it gives
the latest news from the mission fields.
1t also has a capital farm department,
which gives it additional interest to all
interested in rural life.

A London paper gives the following
figures in regard to the ownership of the
land in Ireland, which have special in
terest at the present time: One man
owns 10000 acres; men own 100,-
600 acres each; IA men, $4,000 acres
each. 80 men, 10000 acres each; 1876
men, 10000 acres each, and 452 men,
5000 acres each. The association of
Salters own 10000 acres the Diapers,
$4,000 acres; the Merchants, 81, 900
acres; the SINNERS, $4,000 acres; the
FishmOngers, 10000 acres; the Iron
mongers, 10000 acres. Of the 92l.-
100000 which is the annual Irish rem
tai, at least 912,OOO,OOO IS spent out
of the country, and where, as in the case
of Ireland, the country is not wealthy,
and has no other industry except agri-
culture, this state of things, until rene.
died, will be productive of want and
misery.

When Congress passed the last pension
arrears bill it certainly "went it blind. "
1t was calculated to take possibly one
hundred millions from the treasury.
Pension Commissioner Bently now esti-
mates that the act will take four hun
bred millions, and that for six years to
, come the pension disbursements will
reach $50. 100000 annually. 1t is es-
timated that twenty-five per cent of the
arrears are fraudulent. Having eyre
giOusly blundered in forecasting the eff
fects of the pension arrears bill, Con
gress should now see to it that rigid
legislation is applied to stop all fraudu'
lent payments. Millions for real sol
diers, but not one cent for frauds, is the
line to which the country asks Congress
to hew if it takes all winter.

it is hard to tell what to believe Yet all things are
