his party and ours can make another
Senator next winter, to aid in suppressing
Bourbonism, and be ready in 1882 to
sweep the State in the congressional cleo
tions. To repel him and his friends by
running a straight ticket this summer
would be the worst possible policy. As
between Northern and Southern Bour-
bonism General Malone ought not to be
compelled to decide.
If the Solid South is to be broken, the
Republican managers in Virginia must
begin it to-day. 1t cannot be done by
keeping the Republican party small, in
order that the Federal patronage may 60
around among its members.

An EO&.Rafh

A Paris plumber took an involuntary
bath fortnight ago. He was repairing the tiles
ofa house in the Rue Maubuee when his foot slipped
and he fell off the roof into the street below. Just
then market gardeners cart happened to pass by,
laden with baskets of eggs and contain
inglive poultry and the man. falling into the midst
ofthis load crushed two cages killed about dozen
fowls, and finally was engulfcd in an enormous
basket of eggs. When withdrawn the plumber
lacked like an omelette.

Eggs.

A sarcastic writer alleges that were
hens given chance to scratch for a liv-
ing during cold weather eggs would be as
plentiful as lies. A barnyard observer
will coincide with the above sentiment. to
certain extent, at least, for hens GER
tainly receive little consideration from
that portion of the human family who
have the care of them.
The great scarcity of eggs just now, and
the high prices they bring-from fifty to
seventy-fve cents a doZen-should call
attention to the value of using these do
mestic blessings as if there was some
sort of appreciation of their merits
There is no sense in a scarcity of eggs, but
there is quarto volume of rebuke in the
fact. A hen will lay eggs as readily in
winter as in summer, provided she is
well kept and has a moderately warm
room to range in. 1t also requires
certain food and conveniences and a
place where she can pursue hermodest task
In quiet, for a hen don't want any nom
sense around her when she is attending to
herduties. But these things, which would
seem to be easy enough for a farmer to
provide in his barn, are seldom arranged
for the comfort ofchickens On the other
hand, they shiver about the barnyard,
standing on one leg, the image of despair
and wretchedness, andare housed at night
without regard to shelter from any cold
that will not freeze them. During this
severe winter an enormous number of
chickens have frozen to death, and it is
even said that fowls and wild game thus
frozen are sent to market for sale But it
is a seasonable time to ask for reform :"
in the treatment of hens It will paw farm
ers to give them warm place, and thus
get them tolay in winter, for eggs are al
WAYS much higher then. Some few farm
ers are sharp enough to see the value of
this idea, and are feathering their own
nests now at the high prices. And man.
kind does not deserve omelettes for
breakfast as long as they permit chickens
to be frozen to death for want of decent
care

The Freezing Point.

"I always thought" said Jones, that
you Masons were a warm hearted set of fellows;
but there's Bundlecum, who is a Mason of the
thirty second degree. He treats me so eOolly when
meet him that it gives me a chill don't get over
all day" "0h, that's to be expected" replied
Fogg, 'the thirty y-second degree is the freezing
point, you know. Your thermometer should have
taught YOu that. Jones"

Curious.

A very curious coincidence occurred at
the rifle match between the Americans and Irish
teams at DollymOunt which seems to have es-
capped mention. In the published diagrams of the
targets at 500 yards it may he seen examination
that the shots in Captain FentOns cartoon form an
almost perfect three -leaved shamrock, while those
in that of Dr. Scott eXhibitthe stars and, viewed

Views Of Eminent yirx,n;a.s.

These two letters, from ex-senator Lewis.
chairman of the Republican State Central Com
mittee of Virginia, and Hon. Alexander Rives
United States district judge in that State are good
reading at this time:
LYNwooD Posi- TOFFICE, January 10, 1881.
WN FENNINoRE COOPER, ESQ.,:
My DEAR SIR; Your lettercame to me this morn
ing. wish was well enough to write You such a
letter would make you understand the situation
here, but must, in the interest of prudence only
give you an imperfect outline of my views
The Republicans in Virginia las you know are
in minority, and must always remain so until
we can in some way get ridQfthe restrictions upon
suffrage. Now the vital and practical question for
consideration is, how are We tosaccomplish this?
Certainly no sane person expects any aid to come
from the Bourbon Democracy" Then where is
it to be had? l think from the more liberal Re-
adjuster element which must in the next presi-
dental election come to rs. If we nominate a
candidate for Governor in Virginia, il only re-
suit in gratifying the vanity of aspiring poll
tician and in ignominious defeat to the Republi-
can party, and in securing the old ' Bourbons" in
power, and utterly DESTROYING the hope of free
ballot and a fair count" hereafter.
l think nothing short of insanity would excuse
the Republicans in making nomination for Gov
ernOr. The object of our would bel assistant
funder Democrats is to get control of the Federal
offices and 10 keep men of brains and intelligence
out of the Republican party of Virginia, for fear
that they Will have competition for the offices
increased They are well named ''grip-sackers"
will only add this in conclusion (as am quite
sick, and very neryous}, call on Gorhan, of THE
NAIlONAI WIN tue Situh
ton in Virginia.
This is not confidential, as have expressed my
opinions openly and freely upon the questions at
issue time and again. wish had the strength
to write you more fully. send you letter from
Judge Rives which, though short. win give you
his views. Judge Hughes also concurS with me.
Very truly yours, JOHN +. LEWIS.
EAsTBoURNE TERRACE, January 13, 1881.
Senator LeCiS:
DEAR SIR: You will see the executive Repu6li-
can committee calls upon the committee of which
you are chairman TO summon delegated cOnven-
ton to convene not later than March TO-
This is unreasonable haste. Let the two Demo
cratic conventions, Bourbon and Readjuster, first
assemble and show their hands. II will then be
time enough for us.
hope your health is now restored and that you
can strangle this hydra of our partys destruction
For me there is but one Republican issue for the
fall-the tax restriction on suffrage. On its re-
moval depends $1,000 to 10000 Republican votes
Can we succeed in this great, paramount issue, by
repelling Readjusters and relying on strict Re-
publican organization and ticket?
If your committee call a convention, do so fix
the time that it shall be the last convention in the
State-say in September. With best regards and
wishes, your friend, ALEX. RIFES.

Hard to Shoot.

A man bought an estate in ireland the
other day. He was of small stature, and very thin
and wiry- looking. When he went down TO see the
place the tenants turned out to inspect the new
landlord, and after his departure began to discuss
him. "Well, Pat, what do you think of the new
landlOrd?' "Oh, begorra, not much. Why, that
little gossoon would be as hard TO shoot as jack
Snipe'

A writer in the " home " column OF an
Illinois paper has been to Washington and says: AT
the hotel fable saw at least half dozen Eastern
Congressman and their families eating meat stews,
potatoes. and pie with the sharp edge OF the knife
toward their mouths. 1 do not believe there is a
family in the West fit to provide a Congressman
that does not know enough in eating to turn the
dull back of the knife to the mouth"

That Oath.

The English parliamentary oath is no
older than the days of Queen Elizabeth, and was
instituted as a safeguard against Roman Catholic
conspirators. The act by which the oath is made
obligatory is entitled "An act for the assurance of
the Queens majesty's royal power over all states
and subjects within her dOminions"
