The Presidents Dilemma.

The Pres ident looks upon the con ditiOn of the party with concern. He regards the attempts to reopen the breach as imperiling party prospects in hIs own State. Since Gen. Ar. thur became President he has doub.- less discovered for certainty that which he suspected, that Judge Rob. ertson's anti-thlrd term bugle, after the insinuating Chandler had visit. ed Albany and offered him, in Blaine's name, the New York GUS tom house, in case Blaine was nomi- hated. Still the President was dis. posed to take no advantage of all that he learned. He determined to follow cut the purposes of Garfield respecting appointments, so far as he could learn them, and he faithfully dld so. He did harder thing. lie has for eight months firmly resisted the opportunities and advice of men with whom he was on most intimate terms, respecting the use of patron age. The President has listened pa tiently and courteously to the plead ings of Haif-brecds and alleged re formers for office for themselves or friends, when he knew that these men had spoken of him behind his back as a Guiteau President.
 The President sees that it is use. less to go on much longer hoping for peace. Still he hesltates. A fight, even on the guerilla plan, may wipe out the guerillas, but may also leave the Democratic party in possession of the field, and the President has not yet reached the standpoint of some of the opposing faction. He does not yet believe that a good Dem ocrat IS better than 2 Republican of the other faction.-Washlngton Cor respondence New York Sun.

4 New order of the Garter.

Dorsey caught a litt.e garter snake in his garden yesterday, and after confning the reptile in q box, handed it to a well known gen tlcman as specimen of his wheat crop Upon opening the box the party threw 1t on tue pavement, swearing it was q snake; but the bystanders insisted that it was but a head of wheat. and picking up his snakeship proved by the crowd that such was the case.

The young man who IS thinking seriously of tn owing up his $60 a month situation and gong West to discover a gold mine and eventually return afliuent is commended to the study of this little brochure of Color. orado life which occurred yesterday in the town of Grenada. Two drunken cowboys filled themselves to the muzzle with fighting whiskey and then proceeded to take the town. They kicked in all the doors that they could reach and blazed away with their reyolyers at any one who had the temerity to show himself on the street. The Deputy Sheriff fin ally learned about their little game, and in arresting one of them was shot in several places, so that is hoped rather than believed that he wIll recover. This is the way in which ennui is dispeiled in the great West and life is kept in fresh and breezy condition for twenty-four hours every day.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Senator Plumb, of Kansas, thinks the movement to obtain government aid for the negroes in Kansas will re suit m disaster to the State and tC the colored people. He says the ex. odusters have never suffered to the extent the country has been made to believe, and that they can find plenty of work on the railroads and else. where. That the scene of number of well dressed colored preachers calling to see the President as repre- sentatives of starving and unpro- tected colony of people was not only curious, but really grotesQue. He expressed hls sympathy for the col, ored men, but would not approve of Congress at this time giving them lands and homes by other means than the same are acquired by the whites, and he was fearful that the agitation of the question would re suit in the exodus of Southern ne groes in droycs of 2000 to 5000.- New Orleans Times Democrat.

A Fauquier County Story.

Mir. Peter Reid of Fauqueir coun- ty, says that few days ago, as he was talking to friend, he noticed httle snake, about q foot long, and before killing it he turned it over with the muzzle of his gun. To his surprise the snake ran up the gun barrel and he could not get it to come out, so he let it remain. As he was going home he saw hawk flying overhead and raised his gun and fired at it. The hawk was not hurt, but seeing the snake in the air started towards it and caught It on the fly. MT. Peter Reid is a brother of magistrate and church mem Der.

Temperance has at last obtained a standing in American politics which indicates that it has "come to stay" For q long time, whlskey has held control in political matters, and pol iticians have begged temperance people not to bring "their hobby" in as disturbing element. They have been excessively anxious that relig ion and temperance should be kept untarnished, by being kept from con tao: with political filth and party measures. They have promised to consider the question when the time should come. Well, God ripens the times as he does the wheat fields, without consulting political ma. chimes, or party leaders. Men see that the old "license system" has done all that it can do, except to ex- tend further protection to the rum traffic. That is now it's chief mis- sion, and we'll indeed does it fulfill it, Constitutional prohibition" is making rapid progress. Kansas leads the van gloriously; Iowa sub. mits it to the people on the 27th of this month, with good prospect of success; Indiana, Nebraska, and Minnesota are getting ready. In the Southern States, there is much more of actual prohibition by "local op- tion" and otherwise than ever before {; while New England sees that other States must follow the example of Maine, where prohibition has been so successfully pioneered for thirty years. At least twenty States arc agitatihg the question of constitu- tional prohibition. The "Commis. sion of Inquiry" bill has passed one House of Congress, and there is fair ground for hope that 1t will become a law. The battle will be long, but it is too late to sheer at temperance as q triilo in politics. Let it be dis tinctly remembered it has come to stay.-Exehange.

Making Friends in Nevada.

Two men who had been drinking met suddenly on c street, Virginia City, Nev.
 'I can lick you,' said one.
 You can't" said the other.
 There was dull thud" and the sound of heavy sluggng, mingled With the animated oathings of the gladiator. The challenger fell prone upon the earth, and his opponent hopped nimbly on top.
 "Nuf! Nuhi" cried the under man.
 The two arose from the dust.

 "Ill do it," said the victor, and a moment later they amicably touched schooners. The cause of the hattie IS unknown. Time, one minute. - Virginia City Chronicle.

Should there net be an Inyesti- gatiOn of thesCensus Bureau?

We are not inclined to find fault with the Government departments, as rule, unless there be some valid reason for such fault finding.
 It has now been over two years since the Census Bureau was organ ized, and million or two of the peo- ple's money have been spent in making up the statistics of popula, tion and the diversified products and resources of the United States; but as yet the country is none the wiser for the information thus gained, if it has been gained at all. Why has not the census report made it's ap- pearance in complete and concise published form ere this? Have not the people the right to demand its publication and its distribution among the people of the Union?
 Let Congress appoint q committee before the adjournment Of the pres ent session, to inquire into this de lay, and with additional powers and instructions to inquire into the man ner in which this bureau has been run.
 That there have been practiced and are still being practiced fragrant abuses of power in this bureau, no one familiar with the facts will deny. Bad management, frauds and pee ulations have characterized this bu- reau from it's organization down to the present time, and should be looked into by an impartial commit tee of Congress. ss.-Amerlcan Regis ter.

AhOut Gold and Silver.

The Secretary of the Treasury has transmitted to Congress the report of the director of the mint upon the production of gold and silver in the United States ;n the year 1881. The report is very comprehensive and gives the fullest possible statistics of production by States, by counties and in many cases by mining dis tricts. The total product of gold for the year was $34, 100000, and of sill yer, $43,000,000. Colorado takes the first place among the producing States, with a yield of more than $20,000,000. California follows with yield of nearly $l9,000,000, and Nevada, which at one time ranked first, is now third, with a product of less than $9,000.000. A number of important papers relating to mines and mining arc appended to the re port, among them a careful review of the present condition of the princi- pal gold and silver mines in the United States. ashington Post.

Finding Revolutionary Relies.

The city dredge while dredging Garden Bank, opposite the gas house yesterday morning, brought up from the bottom, nearly one hundred old style flint and steel muskets, which had evidently lain there since the revolutionary war. The wooden portion of the muskets had routed away, and the barrels were very bad ly eaten with rust, but the guards, which were of brass, were in q good state of preservation, These guns were probably thrown there by the allied forces in their retreat from the seige of Savannah.

In Arkansas.

The New York Tribune IS respon- sible for the following:
 "A few years ago no one would have picked out Arkansas as prom ising field for temperance work, but during the last few months large amount of such work has been ef- fectually done in that State, and a great number of greg-shops have been closed. The result, peculiar ly desirable in State where every drunkard carried a revolver and thought no pleasure equal to that of discharging it, have been accom- plished in great part by the persists ent determination of women in vari- ous localities that the law should be enforced which forbids the sale of liq- our outside of towns within three miles of a place of education. They started petitions, crowded into the court.rooms and eventually beat the dealers. Arkansas papers publish details of the temperance movement, lists of the places where the sale of liquor has been stopped, and anus ing instances of the confusion and dismay caused among thirsty souls, An Osceola official walked all the way to Hearn's Landing and waited there an hour for the steamboat Co ahoma, expecting to get what he wanted at the bar. But the barkeep- CT, having in mind the applicants official position, suspected that it was device to ensnare him, and the Osceola man went to bed sober, much to his wife's surprise and gratifica- tlon."
