progress guided by American states
manship and ruled by American ideas,
are ideas to be cherished and made liv-
ing issues in American politics and in
American international politics. The
eastern Miss Nancys will never agree
to anything net European in flavor.
Nothing that is not English has ever
had the slightest chance of recognition
from the east. The common sense of
the people, the rude, vigorous thought
and perception of their necessities by
the great masses which has always pro-
jected and pressed on our wise foreign
policies will grasp and press this mat
ter until American influence shall exer-
else in American affairs, the same pow
er which created for England her COM
mercial domination in Europe. The
United States are destined to be, when
the common sense judgment of the
American people has bent Itself fairly
upon this Issue, the controllers and di-
rectors of the political, commercial and
industrial progress of the American
continent. Mr.. Blaine deserves, at
least credit for having been the first
republican statesman to understand
this issue and to forsake the past and
its traditions for the purpose of making
it the policy of his party and his coun-
try. His party has been foolish
enough to recur to the traditions of
Grantism; will democracy be equally
foolish s-G Banner.

Schuyler and the Tramp.
New York Sum-

One sunny forenoon Schuyler Colfa1
was leaning over the back gate waiting
patiently for the call of his country
lie had just found q crocus in the flower
bed. His heart was full of spring, and
it seemed to him that in the general re-
vivification he, too, might have chance
There approached Schuyler wayfar-
ing citizen, who wore one shoe and one
split boot.
General" said the stranger, "could
you give hungry man nickel ?"
81 will willingly give you nickel, %
said Schuyler, blandly, "but l am not a
general. My career has been that of a
statesman"
"Thats it," said the tramp. "You
show it in your face"
"Tell me, my FRIEND" continued
Schuyler, handing over, not nickel,
but dime, 'you mingle much with
the great world, and your profession
leads you to all the busy haunts of men
tell me, as an observer of events, do
you see any signs of Colfax move
ment? Do you hear any voices demand
ing the vindication of Schuyler Col
fax ?''
"Well," said the tramp, cautiously
cycling first his boot and then his shoe,
perhaps do see signs and hear voices /;
and If it is worth anything to you to
know"
Schuyler gave the man a half dollar,
and invited him into the house.
"Now," said he, after having provided
his guest with a square meal, "speak
without reserve. If you bring any
message from the people of the United
States to a veteran who, however he
may shrink from the onerous cares of
office, is still ready to obey the calls of
duty and his fellow citizens in any
public capacity, do not hesitate to inn
part it. 1 am listening"
The tramp hesitated. "There amt
no message as l know Of" said he, 'but
it seems as If I'd heard this Skullfax
talked about somewheres."
''That is to say" suggested Schuyler,
"While you are not charged with any
formal mission, you come on the part
of the people of the united States TO
sound my views on public questions, to
discover whether l am disposed to
emerge from retirement? Proceed"
"Come to think" resumed the tramp,
''it was about Skullfax that 1 heer
talk"
cat lastp' murmured Schuyler, ris-
ing from his chair and pacing the floor
in great agitation. "Fellow-citizens, or
rather fellow-citizen, 1 thank you for
this unexpected and unsought nomi-
nation. l should have preferred to
have remained in the quieter walks of
life, to which my tastes, nay years, and
my experience of the ingratitude of
human kind alike incline me; but this
summons is too imperative, too unani-
nous to be disregarded. Fellow-citizens,
or rather fellow-citiZen, Schuyler Col
fax is at the service of his country"
The statesman sat down to write a
letter to the editor of the South Bend
Tribune, while the tramp departed,
richer by ten-dollar bill.
$50 that's Skullfax," soliloquized the
latter; "it's curis how folks get things
mixed. L thout from what heerd said
about Schulfax that he was ssrVin' out

Vaccine Virus.

There is something about vaccination
that is peculiar. A young man at
Pewankee, who was vaccinated with
virus from a vaccine farm where heifers
are employed TO lay the virus, goes
around the barn yard blowing like a
calf, and has been caught trying to eat
hay. At NorristOwn, Pa, a young lady
was vaccinated with virus taken from
the arm OF young man, and after it
worked she could never be near him Il
moment without wanting that arm of
his around her waist, or neck. A gen.
tile of Salt Lake City was vsccinated
with virus taken from the arm of a
Mormon neighbor, and the Gentle has

The Railroad Man and the Mis-
sionary,

Two young and aspiring railroad
men, who were placed on the retired
list owing to the consolidation OF
Gould's Southwestern roads, expressed
themselves rather emphatically, and in
that shocked the feelings OF a
missionary who was sitting close by
listening TO the remarks. He stood il
as long as he could, but finally lost his
patience, and walked up to the young
railroad men and reprimanded them for
using pTOfane language.
"You ought to know" he said in con-
clusion, "that there are but two roads,
one leading to hell and damnation,
and the other to joy and salvation ;
now which one of these would you
rather take?"
"Well," replied one of the railroad
men, after getting over his surprise in
being thus addressed, 81 don't think
I'll take either, for it is ten to one that
the two roads will fall into the hands OF
Could and be consolidated before l get
there"

forts to convert the heather and left

Two Distinguished Travellers.

Two young ladies of Terre Haute
were returning from California. The
parlor car they were in was crowded
with passengers. At = small station a
woman in snowy attire entered and de-
manded a whole section of sleeping car.
1t was not to be had, and the conduc-
tor, brakeman, porter and cook, who
seemed to be impressed with the new
passengers Importance, were all pain
fully exercised to know where to put
her. They looked at the other passen-
gers with scorn, and seemed, without
exactly asking, to demand an apology
for their appearance in the car where
they had paid for their rights and priv
ileges. The cause OF all this cOmmo-
ton was very blonde, very large, very
richly clothed and very swell. When
it seemed impossible to get her a whole
section, or even half a one, she turned
to the young ladies and said: "Will
you consent to take the upper berth of
your section and let me have the
lower ?"
"Sorry we can't oblige you," replied
one OF the pink-cheeked fairies /;
"but really we prefer to keep the lower
berth ourselves"
Then the big blonde strengthening
herself up, threw inetfable contempt
aud superhnman importance into her
pale ey es and said: "Perhaps you don't
know who l am l'
"No, we DONG replied the Terre
Haute girl, in tone of serene indif-
ference.

Loafnr.

We wonder if the young men en-
barked on the sea of loaferism ever stop
to count the cost. Yet there is nothing
90 expensive. 1t cost time--whole days,
months, years of It.. 1t costs honor and
seIf-respect, and the respect of your
fellowrnen. 1t costs happiness, in loss
of virtue, morality and independence.
The man who takes up loafing for a
living is the Veriest slave alive. He
must submit to the kicks of fortune,
because he has not the moral stamina
10 fight them of. Go anywhere and
see the well dressed or rugged NANTES
that lounge around bar-rooms, or stand
on the street corners with cigars stuck
in their mouths, day in and day out,
and YOU will have the class who loaf
for a living. What good are they but
to cumber Gods blessed earth, and eat
the food better men strive for? Do
something. Dig clans, shovel coal,
sweep streets,-work any thing honest
but do not loaf.

Whenever an Indian has anything
which a white man wants the Indian

rapidly inundated with miners srd

tanned they will not submit to the whole
sale robbery which is perpetrated upon
them.--St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Drunkenness,

Captain Vine Halls recipe for drunk
enness is as follows: Sulphate of iron,
five grains; magnesia, ten grains; pep
permint water, eleven drachms; spirits
of nutmeg, one drachm. To be taken
twice a day. This preparation acts as a
tonic and stimulant, and so partially
supplies the place of accustomed liquor
and prevents the absolute physical and
moral prostratiOn which follows the
sudden breaking of from the use of
drinks.

The great difference among men OF
all callings is energy of character or
the want OF il. Given the same
amount of learning and integrity, and
the same opportunities, will make one
man a conqueror. The want of it will
see the other failure. Dead beats are
all men without force. They had as
good chance as any of their compaD-
ions Others went ahead aud carried
off the prizes, while they were lying by
the wayside dispirited and respondent.
IL takes nerve, vim, perseverance, pa
tient endurance in well-doing 10 win q
great prize. And the young man who
goes into a profession without this
pluck and force will not earn salt for
his porridge. He will drag through
life, with help Of friends, getting some
credit with them for being well-mean-
ing man in delicate health and I'M
lucky. The real trouble is, he lacks
energy. This is just as true of the
minister as OF the lawyer or physician.
Piety is not enough, and piety with
much learning is not enough. All the
Greek and Hebrew in the world will
not qualify n man for usefulness in the
ministry. It wants stamina, Vigor,
courage, resolution, will, determines
ion-in one word, energy.

For the benefit of the christian por-
ton of the community, we print the
following from the Philadelphia Times {:
"If people who eat pork would take the
trouble to cook it thoroughly, we
should hear much less than we do of
trichinosis. No doubt great deal of
salt pork that is sold is really unfit for
use, because the meat was diseased or be-
cause part OF it was imperiectly cured,
but in most cases it is certain the fault
is i'm the kitchen. The recent case in
Frank ford illustrates this. Some of the
household found the ham UNDERGONE
and had it recoOked. None OF them
were affected. The others, who ate the
boiled ham, suffered the consequences.
Pork in any form must be thoroughly
cooked before it Is fit to be eaten. When
so trcated--unleSs it he such obviously
bad meat as nobody should buy-the
danger from it is slight. People who
iced their children with raw ham ought
to expect them TO die"

The destruction of the United States
search steamer Rodgers in the Arctic
regions adds another TO the long list OF
disasters that have strewn the northern
seas with wrecks and the bodies of
brave men who risked their lives in the
effort to lift the veil which has so far
shut out the north pole from human
sight. The Jeanette and Rodgers hav-
ing both disappeared, and the crews of
both being in distress, another vessel
must be sent out to their relief; an
other will in all human probability be
needed to rescue her or her crew, and
so the interminable procession may be
kept up until our last naval ship and
our last availa BILE officer shall have been
offered up as sacrifice on the altar of
scientific research. We think it would
be lust as well to let the Borth pole re-
main a mystery. When it is found, II
it ever is to be found, we would not
know what to do with it. 1t would be
of little value of itself, or because of the
knowledge of its location to the COM
mercial world certainly not enough to
compensate for all the lives and treas
ure wasted in the search for it Bos-
