The Day has Come.

In an article entitled "The Day of the
People," published last fall we prophe-
sled this year the day of the people
would come and that the bosses little
and great would be hurled from their
power in the land and given back seat
inthe council of the Nation. At that
time we firmly believed, and we
now believe that the people
of this glorious old Commonwealth,
and this magnificent Nation We're
ably to govern themselves without
boss dctation, or boss domination.
The result of Tuesdays election speaks
in language of terror to all bosses, and
encourages the hope of the future sue
cess of the peoples day. With burning
shame it will ever be written, that In
1876 don cameron defeated Blaine the
peoples choice for the Presidency, In
1880 don cameron again defeated the
plummed Knight of the old Pine state
for the same place. Don cameron will
not defeat Blaine i'm 1884. Beaver, the
BulluHb SoluiClJ tiiC Niiiiotitih SNhViS-
man and the patriotic citizen goes down
into the darkness of defeat because
don cameron supported him. Not
only i'll the Keystone state has the
defeat of the bosses been accomplished
but in all the states that voted on
Tuesday wherever the arthur admin
istration, the eonliling sway, or the
cameron power was known the people
arose in their might and forever un-
shackled their freedom. The day of the
people has come. New York says so
with 100000 majority. The day of
the people has come. Pennsylvania
says SO with 10000 majority. The
bosses do not heed it for they are bur-
led so deep beneath the silent ballots
of an outraged people that the trump
of All arch-angel would be necessary to
arouse them from their slumber of OBJ
ivion.

A Rare Chance for Inventors.

Cotton pickers are now getting dollar per hundred pounds of seed cotton, price so re-
 numerative that even the lazy city voter by
 profession has been induced to leave the ex- citing scenes, the free drinks and social equality of the time, to earn a stake for the winter, garnering the feecy staple in it's abundance. From the interior towns and
 cities, especially, have the happy go lucky emigrated to the fields, and left behind them a dearth of labor which asserts its needs and existence in the ''want" columns of the press | It probably costs the people Of Texas $15,- | 900, GOO per annum to gather a crop of cot l ton. The crop of the southern States is worth not less than $50,000, GOO more at the 1 gins than it is in the fields. Here is present. | ed the grandest incentive to mechanical in- l ventlon that all the industries of the world | may offer. machine capable of picking | as much cotton industrious farmer of Texas can raise would supply the place of 8 i dozen active field hands. In this age of
 invention many have attempted the task. l Some have given 1t their whole endeavors
 for years, but all have failed. Southern
 planters, in case a steam cotton picker was | invented, would find their business revolu- 1 tionized. Their field work costs them more per day per hand than any unskilled labor in | the world An invention of that kind would l give the southern planters an almost absolute
 though legitimate monopoly of cotton rais ing and free them from ths labor corner dur. ing every fall and winter. Then why do not
 the cotton producing interests of all tho
 States offer reward in money so tempting
 that it would enlist the brightest and mos
 successful inventors of the world in the at
 tempt to solve the problem? A million dol
 lars could be raised for the purpose by very
 small contributions from each planter. II
 case this plan is not adopted, it is suggested
 that the faculty and students of the agricul
 tural and mechanical colleges of the southerl
 States turn their attention in that direction

purpose in causin4 Powhatan to return the
 white men held in slavery by him, with the least useful of the stolen arms. But he still contrived to evade some of the demands Of the English, who therefore retained his daughter until the affair took new turn. John RoIfe, who seems to have been wid over, became enamored of Pocahontas, now growing to womanhood, and wrote formal letter to Sir Thomas Dale, proposing to con vert her to Christianity and marry her, which pleased the Governor, as tending to promote peace with tho Indians, and was likewise &C., ceptable to Powhatan. The chief sent an old uncle of Pocahontas and two of her brothers to witness the marriage
 This marriage brought about peace during the life of POwhatan, who, on one occasion at least, sent present of buckskins to his
 daughter and her husband. free inter mingiing of the two races took place. and Englishmen were accustomed to hire Indians to live in their houses and hunt for them. This amity lasted eight years.
 In 1GlG, more than two years after their I marriage, Rolfe and Pocahontas went to England with Sir Thomas Dale. Powhatan sent some Indians with his daughter, one of whom commissioned to count the num- Der of the English. The arrival of the Lady Rebecca, as Pocahontas was called after her baptism, produced a great sensation. She | was received by the king and many distin- gu1shed people, went to see a play, and, by | help of her naturally quick wit, bore herself | very well. But it became necessary to de- l sist fro21 calling her the wife of John Rolfe, 1 for the king was very jealous, and it was se- ! riously debated in the privy council whether | by marrying the daughter of foreign DO. l tentate without the kings consent, Rolfe had not committed treason.
 The climate of London, and perhaps also | the uncongenial habits of civilization, affect ! ed Pocahontas very unfavorably, and she was
 taken to Brentford where Smith, then busy with his preparations to sail for New Eng | land, visited her. In the successful efforts | of Rolfe and others to win her to the Chris
 tian faith and the marriage, they had not
 scrupled to deceive her by telling her that Captain Smith was dead probably because
 they knew she would not marry another
 white man while she believed that great war
 rior alive. When, therefore, she saw the | 'brave" who had been the object of her
 maidenly admiration, she turned her face l away and refused to speak for the space of
 two or three hours. When she did, it was
 to claim the privilege of calling him father,
 which Smith granted only after importantly,
 afraid, perhaps, of mourning the Kings dis ! pleasure. Pocahontas went to Gravesend
 to take ship for her return to America much | against her wili for she had become weaned
 from her savage life and greatly attached to ! the English. At Gravesend she died of | smallpox three years after her marriage, leav- l Ing one son, from whom some of the most
 prominent Virginia families trace their de. ] scent

The Rev. Dr. Hepworth defines the faith cure ''that religious idiosyncrasy" and says it is 'the propuct of the emotional nature when it is swayed by an inezplicable mysti cism and becomes indifferent to such low order of materials as facts and law" He de- votes an article in the Independent to a con- sideration of recent cures claimed as mira cles, and concludes: Suppose my father to be attacked with typhoid fever, shall l resort at once to those means of recovery which have been providentially afforded and which the educated physician is acquainted with, or shall I send for the officers of the church to make prayer? 1 think I ought to do both, but especially to send fer the doctor. The messenger who does my errand should go to the physician first and to the minister after ward. If either of them is out of town, I earnestly hope it may not be the doctor. If ignore the agency of God in the cure Of dis ease, am an inddel; and if ignore the fact that the Lord has provided for just such ar emergency in the skilled physician am without that ordinary common sense which tho Lord expects me to use."
 At meeting of the American Statistioa Association in Boston the other day Genera
 Francis A. Walker presented an interesting
 paper on the nativities of the popu
 lation of the United States, in whicl
 he showed from the tables of the census o1 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1S8O that the Irish have relatively decreased during the thirty years SO that, whereas in 1850 they formed 43.i of the total foreign population, they now form 27.76 per cent. They form B. pe1 cent of the total population. The English Scotch and Welsh have maintained theil proportion during the three decades, and tn, Scandinavians and British-Americans have greatly incIe Ieased, the British-Americans now forming nearly II per cent. of the total for eign population. In 1870 the German formed nearly e-third of the total foreigr population in 1880 they formed 29.5 pel | cent of the total foreign population, showing a slight decrease in the 6ecade. Genera Walker also exhibited the striking phases O inter State immigration, showing that nearly 25 per cent. of the native born population ar.
 living in States and Territories other thar those in which they were born, and that nearly as many moro have moved from theil native towns and counties but without leav ing their State.

That's a common express sion and has a world of meaning. How much suf- fering is summed up in it.
 The singular thing about it is, that pain in the back is occasioned by so many things. May be caused by kidney disease, liver com- plaint, consumption, cold, rheumatism, dyspepsia, over work, nervous debility, &c.
 Whatever the cause, don't neglect it. Something is wrong and needs prompt attention. No medicine has yet been discovered that will so quickly and surely cure such diseases as BROWNS IRON BITTERs, and it does this by commencing at the foundation, and mak- ing the blood pure and rich.
