Guiteau claims that he removed
President Garfield to save the reLubli-
can party. 1t now begins to look as
though his act will cause the dissolu-
ton of that party. The administra
ton of Garfield was gradually healing
all wounds within the ranks, except
Conkling's, but Chester A. Arthur has
made his a ''stalwart' administration
and has thereby sealed the doom of
the party that he now leads through
the act of an assassin. The people OF
this country are not prepared for such
a government as Arthur is giving us,
and honest republicans everywhere are
denouncing his methods.

Hon. Henry P. Ross, President
judge of the County of Montgomery,
died at his home on Thursday, Apri
18th, after an illness of but few days.
He was holding Court for several days
during the previous week, and even as
late as Monday of the following week,
but suffering greatly from inaamatory
rheumatism he was compelled to take
his bed. On Thursday the rheumatism
reached the heart and life soon gently
passed away. Judge Ross was widely
known throughout the State and was
held in high esteem by all with whom
he was associated. In 1873 he was the
Democratic candidate for Supreme
Judge in this State.

Postmaster Beckley thinks it will
be good thing if the report be true
that Governor Hoyt will remove to
New York at the expiration of his
term of Office. We have no doubt he
is sincere in this expression of opinion,
and we have no doubt that Mr.. b. and
all the other satellites of Cameron
would be more than pleased if they
could move Wolfe, MacVeagh,
and about one hundred thousand other
independent republicans, out of the
state before next election. They sec
the hand writing on the wall and are
becoming alarmed.

President Arthur in a message tc
Congress recommends an appropria
ton of S2,020,000 for rebuilding the
levees along the Mississippi. The river
Commissioners have heretofore recon-
mended Sl,010,000 as the amount nee,
essary for making all repairs, but the
President suggests larger amount so
that the levees may be made more sc
cure and thus avoid in the future an
other such flood as has occurred this
season. In his message he adds that
it might be necessary for an appropria-
ton from time 10 time amounting in
the aggregate to twenty or thirty mil
lions, in order to make permanent inn
provement, and give security to the
valley but this would extend over Q
period OF several years, and thus make
q small appropriation each year.

so reduced the former burdensome
rate of taxation, and at the same time
given the city's securities a so much
greater value in the market, that the
Mayors last annual review of the
financial condition of the city has been
sent abroad, very wisely, as an adver-
tisement of the citys advantages for
the investment of capital. The debt
of Charleston in 1870 was $5,24l,709;
it is now $4,264,050. The debt was

"Do you know, sir" said the one on
the further end of the bench in City
Hall park; edo you know that the coal
fields of this country will be exhausted
in just 1000 years %
Is that possible!'
"And if the destruction of the forests
goes on at the present rate for 722 years
more, we won't have enough wood left
to make Il toothpick?"
"Great Scots!"
"And in 1894 years more we may
look to see Niagara Falls fall away, and
Lake Erie cow pasture?"
Upon my soul"
"And it won't take over 600 years
more to bring this country into frigid
z0ne?"
cit won't?"
"And now, sir, dare you stand up and
tell Inc that the rich and renowned, who
have got to worry over these things, can
take as much comfort as we gentlemen
who slept in stairway last night, and
are now waiting to strike some one for
ten cents to buy breakfast ?"
"No, sir, l can't-couldn't possibly
have the face" replied the other, and
they resumed their watch for benevo-
lent countenance.-WaH Street Neeos.

The Question PrOpOunded.

The pastor of a large church in
Avondale, one of the suburbs of Gin
cinnati, recently determined to stimu-
late the zeal of his rather lukewarm
congregation in new way. He ac-
cordingly placed box at convenient
point, and invited his people to drop
into it during the week questions upon
any subject which interested or pre-
picked them, promising to answer
their inquiries as best he was able at
the Wednesday evening meetings.
The night came, the questions were
read, discussed and answered to the
manifest pleasure and instruction of
those present. This exercise was re-
peated on several successive Wednes-
day evenings, the questions showing a
singularly thoughtful and intelligent
interest in spiritual subjects. At last,
to the surprise of all, the pastor an
nounced that the exercises would be
discontinued. He then went on to
explain that the inquiries had all been
propounded by himself, no member of
the congregation having placed singl
question in the box.
