DEATHS


DIED, on February 2Sth, 1881, EFFIF
BELLE, infant daughter of Gideon D. and
Ida v. Briggs.
With the bereaved parents, friends and
relatives deeply sympathize. From their
fond entrance has been taken the tender
innocent child. Too young to be defiled by
sin, she was taken by the hand of death 10
the rest that remains for the people of God.
She lived long enough TO win the tender
love of parents, and then without the con.
fiict of lifes battles and sorrows was borne
away to wear the crown of life eternal.
Though it is sad to bury the little children,
we are sure we may go to them though
they cannot come to u.s. In heaven Effie
waits the coming of father and mother.
May they SO live in this world of probation
that all may be united in life eternal. Safe
in the arms of Jesus the little one rests
81 take these little lambs" said he,
"And lay them in my breast,
Protection they shall find in me,
In me be ever blest."

1t is not hard 10 arrive at the conclusion
that inaugurals and cabinets are not the
most positive conclusions as to the policy
OF the administration. If we are not greatly
mistaken in the character Of Mr.. Garfield as
we have formed it from his past political
record he is likely to be guided by the
strongest forces. President jackson was
able to press his strong individuality upon
the policy government with great effect. But
in this day we do not believe that any man
can do so, and it is well that II is so. This
country is governed by public opinion and
by the preponderance Of forces and not by
men Men may dsarrangc and retard, they
cannot prevent the triumph of public opin-
ion. We are rather inclined to think that
Mr. Garfield will be governed by the strong
est forces, and in the selection of his cabinet
we have discovered nothing which tends to
point out that we have arrived at false
conclusion. There is an evident desire to
compose and pacify, to balance and hold in
equili5rio. If he shall find the factions rag
ing like winds let loose from the caverns as
described in Virgil's Kneid, it will be the
usual sequel to such an effort at harmonic
ing. We indulge the idea that there are
important signs Of promise in the inaugural
and in the composition of the cabinet which
afford very fair indication Of internal i'm
provement and the extension of foreign and
commercial facilities. Mr.. Garfield was in.
augurated at an almost unexempled period
Of prosperity in the history of our country,
and he cannot afford to pursue any line of
policy that will hinder or disturb that pros
perity To do so would be death to his
future dreams Of ambition as well as to the
triumph Of the party Of which he is the
great exponent and leader.

The theory that the spoils of political
victory belong to the victor is carried to a
greater extreme in Spain than in our own
country. Each new minister makes clean
sweep from top to bottom. The new adj
ministration which has just come in starts
out by over two hundred changes about the
palace, and the entire administrative staff OF
the Kingdom, from the Governors Of Prov
inces, forty-tlree in number, down, are to be
removed and replaced by the friends of the
new Ministry. The Judges, twenty-five
hundred in number, go with the rest
Spain is evidently the country for running
"the machine"

1t seems 10 be admitted that the project
for the New York Worlds Fair will have
to be abandoned. The subscriptions hang
fire, and 1t is impossible to raise any enthu-
siasm for il either through General Grants
leadership or by securing recommendations
for appropriations by the Governors of the
several States. The New Workers fail TO
exhibit any of the public spirit and city
pride that enabled the Phlladelphians to
make such wonderful success of the Cen
tennial exhibition.

indeed difficult 10 imagine what guarantee
he can obtain for his life, except what springs
from having given some satisfaction to those
who demand more liberal government. He
mounts throne stained with blood and be-
gins his reign under the gloomiest auspicies.
Doubtless he will be blown to pieces as his
father has been. His temptation will be to
follow the example of his grandfather, Gar
Nicholas, who governed tyrannically and
died peacefully in bed.
Russia is in much the condition France
was century ago. The old things are
passing away, and all things must become
new. A mild ruler will only hasten the
outbreak, stern one may for while sup
press it. The existing military despotism
cannot last. 1t is intolerable to every lib
cral mind and is destroying the energies of
the whole people. Its products are peas
antry brutalized, an office holding class the
most corrupt in the world, and paralysis
of all the higher manifestations Of thought
This cannot last. The assassination of the
Gar may be regarded as but single jet
of the revolutionary lava which is seething
under the crust of society, certain to break
forth before long with volcanic fury.
We may conclude by remarking that AL
exander III succeeds to the Autocracy Of
Russia under even less favorable circum-
stances than his predecessor. The only les
son the late reign can teach him is that
however well he may try to govern, he will
be in constant danger from the bomb and
the knife of the Nihilist. His lot is not en-
viable. His heritage is not one TO be de-
sired. The Nihilists do not object to the
Gar as a constitutional monarch. Their
demand is for law, not the sword, for re-
lease from an aristocracy the most rapacious
in the world and for the recognition Of the
essential equality Of man.

]. N. Determined to Carry the Whole
Load Tonight!

J. N. dropped in to see us yesterday, and
being pleased with the great sympathy
shown him during his several visits to our
place, he thus says: "I realize that the
kind people of Napoleon have probably
given me more sympathy with the veil
enshrouding me, than 1 could have ex-
pected under the same circumstances. I
often postpone my lectures from time to
time as have at this place, and at each
postponement people think naturally they
are ready to hear me, and with all their
sympathy the veil will not allow them to
assemble.
81 now have desire to reason away all
that mysterious and electrical veil which
enshreuds myself and friends, tonight at
the Court House. Thank the kind people
of Napoleon for the sympathy shown me
while now here and long ago, and have all
understand that if honored with an audi
ence on the Sd, will assume all; a
small admission will be kindly accepted
of the men; ladies free and especially in
vited to attend. Subject, Truth and Pref
udice."

Do you want to know how to save your
time, your temper and your money in
buying clothing? You can do it by buy
ing at Bernstein's One Price Clothing
House, where goods are sold at the very
lowest figure possible at one price marked
on in plain figures for all alike. The most
ignorant man or woman, and the smallest
most innocent child, can buy there just as
cheap and for the same price as the smart
