Irish-Americans Will Take Notice.
There is no greater arrogance and intolerance
conceivable than that with which Democratic
politicians and newspapers claim the right to
dictate the votes and control the consciences of
all citizens of Irish lineage, and if an Irish
American citizen has the hardihood to exercise
his political rights by supporting the Republic
can party, the whole pack of Democratic
sleuth-hounds are let loose upon him.
In the city of Portland lives William H.
Looney, Esq, a talented and highly-esteemed
young 1ri5h-Amerioan lawyer, who, by his own
exertions and the generous assistance of his
friends, obtained college education at Colby
University. The Republicans of Portland, in
recognition OF his talents and excellent charac-
ter, elected him to the important position of
City Solicitor, which he is filling with credit
to himself and the community. But Mr.. Loon
ey has dared TO recognize his friends and to ex-
ercise his judgment by voting for and speaking
for the Republican party; and for that he was
wantonly ssseiled few weeks ago by Demo-
cratic leader in Portland, to whom, however,
Mr.. Looney administered most whitening re-
buke; and now comes the Democratic Boston
Post with abuse that will be appreciated and
resented by every Irish-American citizen who
believes he has rights that even Democratic
politicians are bound to respect. This is the
language applied by the Democratic Boston or
gan to young gentleman of high character,
whose only sin is that, being of Irish lineage,
he dares to be Republican Says the Post:

And for making SO true and pertinent a
statement, the Democratic organ denounces a
gentleman whom the Republicans have made
the law officer of the largest city of the State.
as shameless fellow and an "unblushing
young blatherskite."
The intelligent young Irish-Americans of the
present day have already begun to think and
to declare that the time for submission to sreh
political domineering is past. They think they
can judge which is the truer friend, the party
that invites one of their number to high and
honorable office, or the party that heaps abuse
upon him and even seeks to turn his name to
rldicale.

SOME peculiar figures are exhibited by the
returns of the value of domestic bread-stuffs
exported from the United States during the
past month of August, the two months and
the eight months preceding and including it,
as compared with last year. The increase
during last month over the figures of last
year is trife over $3,3oO,oo0; the figures
for the two months of July and August
shows only difference of about 100000 in
favor of last year, but for the eight months
ended in August the difference is about $47,-
100000 against the returns for the current
year, which is a somewhat serious falling
off. The improvement during the past
month is hopeful sign, and if maintained
may yet bring up the export returns of
breadstuffs to a fair balance.

The Good Democrats of Biddeford.

AS an illustration of the Democratic tactics
we give the following: The morning of the
election in this city Republican drove into
the suburbs to try to get an old man, whose DO
iitical status was considered somewhat doubt
fui, to ride to the polls and vote the Republ-
can ticket. He was met at the door by the ola
mans VIE, who objected to her husbands 60
ing, bat seemed at loss for reason why. iii.
nally, after considerable talk, she said: al
don't believe in vote buying or anything of the
sort, but told Mr.. -" (naming prominent
DEMOCRACY that that II he was mind to make me
should vote as he wanted him to, and he is
coming for HIM this noon. Now, if you think
you can do any better why all right" 1t is
needless to say that the old fellow voted the
Fusion ticket.

THE London Lancet is considerably exer
cised as to the drinking habits of the young
man about town in that city. He takes too
many "nips" and "stims" before luncheon
and after luncheon for his own good, and is
under drafts upon the vitality of his stom-
ach at all hours of the day. 1t holds that
the use of stimulants, apart from whole
some luncheon, is fatal to health and longev-
ity and is on every account to be discour-
aged. 1t even goes so far as to suggest the
need of a society the members of which will
pledge themselves 10 drink no alcohol ex-
cept at meals.

THE Cleveland Leader publishes this par
agraph, which is both pointed and perth
nent:
The Arkansas bankers, at the recent meet
ing at Saratoga, had great deal to say about
the necessity of bringing Northern capital into
thai State to build railroads and develop its
mineral resources. Yesterday the dispatches
reported that parties under the guise of Ku-
klux had driven the negro help away from one
road that was being built, and that the work
could not proceed without protection from the
State government. Northern capitalists can
never be induced to send their money into any
Southern State in which workmen are not al
lowed to pursue their work in peace,

that if the public exhibition Of nude human

God-created natural human body itself, and
that is all there is of it. A Chicago Jour

A Judges Charge. With Variations.

The following comes from Georgia,
and its accuracy is vouched for by the
stenographer who took it down:
Judge - was noted for. the way he
got mixed in his charges to the jury.
On one occasion case was tried before
him the points Of which may be briefly
stated thus: Smith brought suit against
Jones upon promissory note given for
horse. Jones' defense was failure of
consideration, he averring that at the
time of the purchase the horse had the
glanders, of which he died, and that
Smith knew it. Smith replied that the
horse did not have the glanders, but
had the distemper, and that Jones knew
it when he bought.
The judge charged the jury: "Gen-
tlemen of the jury, pay attention to the
charge of the court. You have already
made one mistrial of this case because
you did not pay attention to the charge
of the court, and 1 don't want you to
do it again. intend to make it so
clear to you this time that you cannot
possibly make any mistake. This suit
IS upon note given for promissory
horse. l hope you understand that.
Now, If you find that at the time of the
sale Smith had the glanders, and Jones
knew it, Jones cannot recover. That is
clear, gentlemen. will state it again.
II you find that at the time of the sale
Jones had the distemper, and Smith
knew it, then Smith cannot possibly
recover. But, gentlemen, / Will state
it third time, so that you cannot po =
sibly make mistake. If at the time
OF the SAFE Smith had the glanders, and
Jones had the distemper, and the horse
knew it, then neither Smith, Jones nor
the horse can recover. Let the record
be given to the jury."-Hayper's Mega
zine.

WISE WORDS.

The art OF praising caused the art of
speaking.
No man is more miserable than he
that hath no adversely.
All uphill work when we would do;
all down-hill when we suffer.
An effort made for the happiness of
others lifts us above ourselves.
Half the ills we hoard in our hearts
are ills because we hoard them.
Truth and love are two Of the most
powerful things in the world; and
when they both go together they can
not easily be withstood.
As the shadow follows the substance,
so the sting of conscience follows an
evil deed; one dies only with the sun
light; the other expires with intelli-
gence.
like better for one to say some fool
ish thing upon important matters than
to be silent. That becomes the sub
ject of discussion and dispute, and the
truth is discovered.
Merit has rarely risen of itself, but
pebble or twig is often quite sufficient
for it to spring from the lowest to the
highest ascent. There is usually some
baseness before there is any elevation.
A certain amount of opposition is a
great help to man. Kites rise against
and not with the wind. Even o head
wind is better than none. No man ever
worke d his passage anywhere in dead
calm.
Few seem to have any opinions of
their own, or think for themselves
Like dead fish they go with the stream
and tide; what others think right they
think right, and what others cali wrong
they call wrong.

DR.. Halls Journal If Health has some
severe words against the gymnasium
as a means OF exercise in our leading
educational institutions. The objec-
tions, however, must be understood to
be against excess in exerciae--as we'll
as the extremes to which ball playing,
boating, etc, are carried, resulting in
''athletic feebieness" instead of athletic
strength.
Young men are frequently to be met
with who seem to have an excessive
pride of muscular Development; the
great development is confined, how
ever, to an undue enlargement of the
muscles of the upper portions of the
arms, at the expense CT the muscles of
the chest and of the general health.
The prominent physicians of our
cities have such patients frequently.
They usually come to ask advice in
regard to some unaccountable lung
trouble.
They point to their arms, and ask
how is it possible that q man can swing
dumb-bell weighing fifty pounds and
have weak lungs, with splitting of blood
and other unfavorable symptoms. It
is the easiest thing in the world, and
the most natural result of such vio-
lent exercise. This ''athletic exercise"
craze has come to be national calam-
ity. 1t is iniuring some of the best
young men in the country.
Every gymnasium in the country
should be abolished, says'the Journal
Of Health, not but that there are some
good features about them, but the evil
resulting from gymnastic exercises, as
ordinarily practiced, does more harm
than good. The professional gymnast
is always short-lived, the averagv term
of such life being less than six years.

Progress of Iron Industries.

The census bureau of the govern
ment has issued one of its special bull
letins relative to the iron and steel in
dustries of the United States, which,
says the Lancaster (Pa.) Neao Era, is
full Of interesting facts, and reveals
the marvellous progress we have made in
this direction during the past decade.
There is at the present time capital of
$3.50, 971 ,SS4 invested in the business,
against $121, 772,074 ten years ago,
showing an increase during the brief
period of more than eighty nine per
cent. In 1880 only twenty-five States and
Territories had engaged in the produo-
tion of iron and steel, but Kansas, Ne
braska and Colorado, as we'll as the
Territories of Utah and Wyoming,
have nee commenced operations,
ndkking a total of thirty States and
Territories of iron and steel.
Pennsylvania has for hundred years
been the great iron making State of the
Union. In 1870 we made fifty per cent.
of the entire production of the country.
We have held our own remarkable well
during past decade, having increased
our output ninety-seven per cent, and
in 1880 we still made forty-nine per
cent. of the country's entire production,
Notwithstanding that the industry has
been wonderfully stimulated all over
the country during the past ten years.
Pennsylvania's product in 1870 was
1886, sos tons in 1880 it was $685.
66S tons. The increase in tons all over
the country between 1870 and 1880 was
from 1866 215 tons to 1926, 140 tons,
or ninety-nine per cent o most won
derful increase.
Ohio more nearly approaches MS in
her iron productions than any other
State, her product IN 1870 having been
449, 76S tons, and in 1880 $50, 141 tons,
an increase of LOT per cent. New York
comes next, but her rate of growth in
her iron product is much less than that
OF Pennsylvania or Ohio, having been
only thirty-three per cent. between
1870 to 1880 Her product in the lat
ter year was 598, 800 tons. Illinois has
taken New Jerseys place as fourth
among our iron producing States; in
1870 she made only 25,761 tons, which
increased to 1883, an increase of
1922 per cent. in ten years. Mary
land has fallen from the fifth place
in 1860 to the twelfth in 1880, having
made an increase of only sixteen per
cent. Missouri has made great progress,
beipg now the sixth State on the list.
Some of the Southern States, notably
West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Ten
nessee and Delaware, haveshown largely
increased production. OF all the States
that made iron or steel in 1870, three
alone, South Carolina, North Carolina,
and Maine, have fallen off in their pro-
duct of these metals. Under the re-
markable demand of the railroad inter
ests of the country, we may, for a
number OF years ut least, see this i'm
portant industry make equally rapid
strides.
