that State. Without much effort on Ell
.ther side and an unusual light vote, the
Democrats managed to show about their
customary majority. The legislature
just chosen is strongly in favor of the re-
election of Mr. Beck to the U. S. Senate.
Mr. Beck is a valuable member Of that
body. He has outgrown much of the eX-
treme partisanship he used to display
when in the House Of Representatives
and ranks among the most intelligent,
Industrious ahd fair-minded Of the Demo-
cratic Senators. He is much more use
ful to his State and to the country than
any man would be likely to prove whom
Kentucky would send in his place if he
were pushed aside, and we are glad his
return is assured.

Six COWS belonging to John Tracy, OF
Plymouth, Montgomery county, were bit
ten by mad dog few days ago. They
soon developed hydrophoba in its worst
form, believing, frothing at the mouth,
and trying to gore everything that came
in their way. Their suferings were
frightful to witness, and they were all
killed to end their misery. The dog that
bit them escaped.

Keep out Of office. Thousands of men
have their eyes turned to some lucrative
position. They are tired of earning their
living in customary ways and yearn for
the feshpots of Office. Of these thou
sands, nine-tenths are doomed to disap-
pointment; but, after all, is it not for
their good? OF all occupations, Office
holding is the most precarious and the
least satisfactory. To be at the mercy,
at the Whm or caprice of q politician
himself creature Of a superior, is to be
in purgatory. But few offices pay WELL
The work as a rule is not hard. lazy hab-
it's are engendercd, dissimulatiOn and
treachery are apt to be developed, sturdy
independence is undertoned and un-Amer-
ican ideas are soWn in falloW soil. To
professional politicians the life of an Of
fice-hOlder has charms. To men at the
top of the ladder come power and inlu-
ence; but to the ordinary, dependent SUI
bordinate there is a wearing reStleSSneSS
which is burdened often with disappOint-
ment and is never free from uncertainty
and apprehension. Unless q man gives
an honest days work, and the fact is that
quite one-half of the office-holders of to-
day do very little labor, and that grudg-
ingly.

A Harrisburg dispatch prophecies thus
ly: "a month or two ago there was ey-
cry indication that the coming Conven-
ton would be equally as stormy as the
last Republican State Convention held
here was, at which the fatal stab was
given to the third term business by one
half Of the Convention refusing to be
bound by the instructions to support
Grant as unit at Chicago; but Guiteau's
bullet has effected such wonderful results
in harmonizing Pennsylvania politicians
that on the night proceeding this Repub-
lican Convention the Cameron lion, tine
troublesome Wolfe. from the rugged for
eSts ofUnion, and the lamblke Quay will
lie down together, and the next morning
will walk up the hill to the convention
nominate Senator Davies of Bradford,
for State Treasurer, appoint Col. A. Lou
don Snowdon, of Philadelphia, Chairman
of the State Committee, walk down the
hill again, accept Senator Cameron's in
vitation to test the quality of his wines,
and then go home happy"

There are physicians who, through it,
tervieWs with reporters, or, still more
openly in the public press over their own
signatures, have condemned the medical
treatment to which Mr. Garfield has been
subjected. The doctors in charge, how
ever, have this to their credit, that their
patient seems, in their hands, to be pro-
crossing toward recovery. If there is
any fault Of omission or commission in
their management Of the case that is pal
pable, uhequivoCal or patent to profess
sional intelligence, it might be prudent
and proper to point attention to the er-
ror. But the criticism bestowed on the
attendant physicians has been vague and
uncertain, dealing mostly with generali-
| ties. Under the circumstances it would
be wise to refrain from embarrassing the
doctors by forcing discussion of medi-
cal systems into the public press.

The Silence of Friendship.

Only real friends understand silence.
With a passing guest or ceremonial ac-
quaintance you feel under the obligation
to talk; you make an effort to entertain
him as matter of courtesy; you may
be tired or weak, but no matter, you feel
you must exert yourself. But, with a
very dear and intimate friend sitting by
you, there is no feeling of the kind. To
be sure you may talk if you feel able,
pouring out all sorts of confidence, reliev-
ed and refreshed by the interchange of
thoughts and sympathies. But if you
are very tired, you know you do not need
to say word. You are perfectly under
stood and you know it. You can enjoy
the mere fact Of your friends present and
find that does you more good than con-
versation. The sense of that present and
sympathetic affection rest you more
than any words. And your friend takes
it as the highest proof of your friendship
and confidence, and probably never loves
you SO vividly as in these still moments.
No matter that twilight is falling, and
that you cannot see each others faces
the presence and the silence is full of
brightness and eloquence, and you feel
they are enough.

Presidential Church Members.

Only two of our Presidents were actual
church members, Adams married min
ister's daughter, and was inclined to
Unitarianism. Jefferson was not be-
lever, at least while he was Chief Magis-
trate. Madlson's early connections were
Presbyterian. Monroe is said to have
favored the Episcopal Church. John
Quincy Adams was like his father Jack
son was a methodist, aud died in the COM
munion of that church. Van Buren, was
brought up in the Reformed Dutch
Church, but afterwards inclined toward
the Episcopal Church. Harrison leaned
toward the Methodist Church, and Tyler
was an E piscopalian. Polk was baptized
by Methodist preacher after his term of
office expired. Taylor was inclined to
the Episcopal communion. Fillmore at
tended the Unitarian Church, and Frank.
lin Pierce was member, but not COM
municant. of the CoDgregationalist
Church at Concord. Buchanan was
