Coy. PATTIsoN. Of Pennsyl.

Gov. PATTIsoN, of Pennsyl
vania is receiving great deal of cred
it from Democratic journals for what
they term his truly Democratic priD-
cipher, as displayed in objecting to
any destinations parade on the occa-
sion of his Inauguration. His re-
marks relative to free trade however,
are passed over in silence as he said
that no one in Pennsylvania could
advocate free trade, without dying
politically. Democrats in Pennsyl-
vania do not want free trade, and
their position on that question shows
the sbsurdity Of Democratic leaders,
who wish to build up party govern
ment upon a question which is not
national.

THE WARDENShIP.

There Is no reason why Lietenant-
Governor elect, Leughton should not
be made ex officio Warden Of the
Slate Prison. He would make an
excellent Warden, and it would be
economy on the part Of the State to
combine the two offices. The only
objection To consolidating the offices
is that hereafter an unfit man for
Warden may be elected Lieutenant
Governor; but Of this the people
will be apprised before they vote,
and the Legislature can at any time
that it becomes necessary, again sep
arate the offices. Mr.. LaughtUn is
thoroughly competent and the peo-
pie of the State generally would be
we'll pleased to see him appointed to
the position.

The opposition to Fitz John
Porter's appeal for justice is a spark
from the almost extinct embers OF
partizan prejudice. At the time of
his trial the bitterest party enmities
existed, and equally bitter hatred
aud jealousies animate some of the
generals who had the operations of
the Union army in charge. 1t was
necessary that some one should suf-
fer for the second Bull Run disaster,
and Pope determined that Porter
should be tho victim. Porter was
not in political accord with the adj
ministration nor were his personal
relations with the members of the
Court Martial good. Dispatches which
would have exonerated MIN were
suppressed and party prejudice, pop
ular c!amor and personal enmity all
combined to blind the eyes OF his
Judges and rem Ter him the scape
goat. 1t was easy to think he was
guilty, for most of the members of
the Court wished him to be so, but
now that time has smoothed away
the animosities of the war those who
oppose his re instatcment under the
light of facts as at present developed
exhibit a bigotry which is more cred
liable to their obstinacy than to their
patriotism or justice.

CIVIL SERVICE.

No class of men talk louder of civ
il service reform than Democrats
when out in the cold. Who ever
heard = Democrat while holding q
good fat Office under the Government
talk about civil service reform2 Does
any one doubt if the Democratic
party ever gets possession of the ad-
ministration they will recognize any
reform, except to put Republicans
out and Democrats into office. No
civil service rules would stand in the
way of apportioning the spells to the
victors. We do not state these facts
for the purpose of raising protest
against this old time Democratic
doctrine, but we do protest against
the sincerity of Democratic talk
about civil service reform when they
are out of power. 1t is only polite
way of asking for an Office from the
party they are fighting to destroy.

-THE acquittal of Clarence
Gray, the murderer of Theodore
Clancy at Hollister, adds one more
iufamy to the long list of cutrsges
upon Justice which have been perpe-
trated by California juries in capital
cases. The murder of Clancy, says
the Record. Union, was a cowardly
and deliberate assassination, and it
was a crime committed in revenge
for the faithful performance of his
duty to the community by courag
eous and conscientious journalist.
No jury could have brought in a
verdict of acquittal in this case with
on. violating its oath, and without
ignoring the plain facts of the HON
icids. The assassin has been acquit
ted, but who will acquit the men who
derlared him innocent of the blood
of his victim2 This case, however
disgraceful and revolving as it is
does not, unfortunately, stand alone

this remedy; the druggist simply

that it was the intention to have the

ever, to the failure of the last Legis
turs to provide for vote of the people
at the recent general election on the
amendment of the Constitution as to
the time of the regular meeting of the
Legislature, the next meeting will
have to be the first Monday in Janu-

WHEN THE FROST Is ON
THE PUNKIN,
BY BENZ. F. JOHNSON.

BY BENZ. +. JOHNSON.
When the frost is ON the punkin and the fod
der's in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble OF the
struttin' turkey-ceck,
And the clackin' of the guineys and the cluck-
in of the hens,
And the ROSTERS hallylooyer as he tiptoes on
the fence;
o it's thep's the time feller is q feelln az his
best, .
With the risin' sun to greet him from a night
ofgracious rest,
As he leaves the house bareheaded, and goes
out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the uukin and the fod-
der's in the shock.
They's somekin' kind O. hearty-like, about the
atmosphere,
When the heat of summers over and the coolin'
fall is here
OF course we miss the flowers and the blossoms
on the trees
And the humble of the hunmin' birds and
buzzin' of the bees;
But the airs SO apertizin', and the landscape
through the haze
Of crisp and sunny morning Of the early
autumn days
Is picture that no painter has the colorln' to
mock; -- t-4-
When the frost is on the punkin and the fod.
der's in the shock.
The husky, rusty rustic of the tossols of the
corn,
And the raspin' of the tangled leaves, as golden
as the morn;
The stubble in the furries, kindo' lonesome
like, but still
A-preachin' sermons to us of the barns they
growed to fill
The strawstack in the medder and the reaper
in the she'd
The hosses in their stalls below, the clover
overhead;
0 it sets nv heart a-clickin' like the tickin of
clock,
When the frost is on the punkin and the fod-
der's in the shock.

Baby Lions I'm st. Louis.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
About nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing the attention of Keeper Weiners.
at the Geological Gardens, was cali
ed to great commotion in the lions
cage. Il knew what was the matter. ,
said Mr.. Weiners. Il went to the
lions cage and there lay the lioness
licking pretty little cub about a min
ute old. She was as proud as only
such animals can be, but as savage as
meat axe. The old lion sat back on
his launches in one corner looking very
much interested, but he knew better
than to venture near to offer his con-
gratulations. She would have scratch
ed his eyes out. Lions, tigers and all
these fesh-eaters are curious about
that. The mother of cubs will not let
her lord near her or the young for
weeks after their birth, for the reason.
| suppose, that he may eat them. They
are apt to do it, especially in captivity.
After q good deal of trouble this morn
ing | got the lion and lioness separated,
and put her with her cub in the ad-
joining cage, with dark compartment
for the cub. She went in the latter
place at olce ard was in there couple
of hours, and think, from tie variety
of noises this afternoon, there is more
than one cub now There certainly
seemed to be, for the cries that came
therefrom sounded like sixteen dozen
cats on roof
Yesterday afternoon the lioness ap-
peared in her outer cage and seemed
the picture of contentment. The old
lion, in his cage adjoining, watched for
her growl and her step and seemed all
curiosity and anxiety. But when feed
ing time came he grabbed his fourteen
pounds of meat and busted himself with
it, apparently to the exclusion of all
other thoughts. When the lioness got
her meat she carried it at once to the
dark cage where her cubs lay.

sheriff as he was about to spring the

Onions cut up with food for chickens
are said to be an effectual remedy for
chicken cholera. A little ground ginger
mixed with their meal once every day
or two is also beneficial when symp-
toms of cholera appear.
Many farmers injure their farm i'm
plements more by exposure to the
weather than by use on the farm. An
implement which with good care would
last twenty years, will, when exposed
to the weather, become useless in five
years or even less.
