JOHN BULLS rxTINCTIoN.

England is undergoing a revolution that
is entirely changing its position among the
nations, and is greatly modifying its social
traits. The English, at the beginning of the
present century, gloried in their English
beef, which produced the jolly fellow in top
boots known as John Bull. "The Roast Beef
of Old England" was one of the most popu-
lar of the national songs. Now the time is
at hand when England will neither raise its
own beef nor grow the barley for its own ale.
The London Times says the day is coming
when the best lands in the country will be
turned into parks, model farms for fancy
experimenters, preserve-shootings, rabbit
warrens and similar establishments, while
the agriculturalist will sink into market
gardener or dairyman, combining his am
bition to securing the prize at the county
ing the richness of his cheese or the pure
golden hue of his butter. English farmers
cannot grow grain against Dakota and the
East Indies, nor raise beef against Texas,
nor mutton against Australia. The Brit
ish island will be an immense factory,
where it is not coal or an iron mine, or
ship-yard, Johnny Bull will be changed to a
white-faced mechanic, with restless soul and
sleepless eyes, caused by the perpetual worry
of finding an outlet for ever increasing pro-
duction, fox-hunts and country sports will
die out before the never-ceasing search for
new markets. The hearty, genial, jolly, hos
pitable John Bull is on his last legs. His
anxious, speculative, competitive offspring
of the countinghouse or the factory is tax
ing his place. useful, plodding, locker
after-number-one sort of creature that the
world will never like as heartily and hate as
cordially as it has done the bluff, robust,
outspoken Johnny Bull of the olden days.
But all, alas must bend to fate, so like the ebb-
ing tide;
Declining gently to the last this good old man he
died,
And where's the 'scuteheon that can show as
much of worth and pride
As the good old English gentleman's, all OF the

ATTEMPTED Wffe-Murdsr.

CLEVELAND, o., May 22.-After mar
ried life of thirty-one years Alfred w. Rob-
inson, aged 6fty-four, and his wife Sarah,
aged fifty -one, separated last September, and
the wife procured divorce on the ground of
extreme cruelty. Robinson worked at his
trade (carpenter) for several months in this
city, and then went away and found employ
ment on a farm four miles from Pittsburg
until Friday, when he left for Cleveland, ar
irving yesterday morning. He started at
once for his oldest sons home in Brooklyn to
see his ex-wife, purchasing a twenty-five
caliber revolver.on his way. He found Mrs
Robinson alone at her sons houee. Being
afraid of him she persuaded neighbor lady
to remain with her during the day. The
son was much surprised on returning home
to find his father, and after supper made
pretense of wishing his mother to go to town
to make some purchases. He intended to
have her get away from his father. The son
and mother went TO the barn to hitch a horse
in the buggy. The old man followed, and
entering the stable door drew a revolver and
excIaiming "Sarah," fred twice at his former
wife. The first ball struck corset steel, do
ing no harm. She turned to run away and
the second bullet struck underneath the left
shoulder blade. The son then grabbed his
father, and after desperate struggle
took the revolver from him. Neigh
bors hocked in and took charge of
the old man, while the son cared
for his mother, who had fallen exhausted in
attempting to get in the house. The wound
at first was thought to be fatal, but the at
tending physicians to-day are hopeful that
she will recover, although they have not yet
dared to probe to find the precise location of
the bullet. Robinson was lodged in Jail
here. He says that he came back for recon-
ciliation, and brought the pistol to kill him
self if unsuccessful; that Mrs. Robinson
gave him encouragement, but his son treated
him co!dly. When he saw no hope of being
reunited, he deliberately attempted to kill
the woman, and would have shot himself but
for HE sons interference. He says that his
own jealousy of his wife was the cause of
the family trouble, which began some years
ago and steadily increased. She liked
society; he did not. She was the object of
attention Wherever she went, which annoyed
him. The three children-two sons and
daughter-sided with their mother. Finally
she refused to live with him and he left
home. He says that the feeling of being an
outcast from his family preyed upon him
until he could bear it no longer.

PILLS.
By UniyersaI ACCORD.

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tons, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where n mild but efectual
cathartic is required.

MAHONIzING THE SOUTH.

Since Arthur made Republication respect.
able by shaking hands with Malone and
giving him control of the Federal PARTON
age in Virginia, there has been much talk
about purchasing other Southern States
with a few crumbs from the presidential
table. But these greedy ofiice-seekers who
have manifested willingness to accept the
brides Of the President have about as much
prospect of building up the Arthur party in
the Sou thern States as they have Of climb
ing the North Pole. Lowe is the only
apostate in Alabama, and the Democracy Of
that State is as firm and immovable as the
hills and mountains, plethoric with mex
haustable mineral wealth. The assaults of
General Chalmers upon the Democracy Of
Mississippi will produce about as much
damage as pebbles hurled at the rock of
Gibraltar, for the people of that State know
what Radical rule means, and having Sc
cured peace and prosperity through suffer-
ing and sorrow, they will not restore to
power their old enemies merely to
crafty the lust of a chronic office
seeker. The effort to build up an
administration party in Georgia has proved
a failure. AlexandessH. Stephens has gone
back on the coalitionists by refusing to be-
come their nominee for governor, and will
no doubt be the candidate of the Democratic
party. He has written q letter placing him
self in accord with the regular party organ
ization and expressing a willingness to ac-
cept the nomination of his party and
determination not to become the candidate
of any other party or faction. Readjustment
in Virginia succeeded because it was pop
ular idea, and really had the sympathies of
a considerable number of Democrats, who
will in the future vote with the Democratic
party. On the other hand, the Republican
party is on its last legs. The factions are
more opposed to each other than either is to
the Democrats. OF this fact there can
be no doubt. Indeed, SO bitter has this feel
ing become that the cohesive power Of public
plumber can hold them together no longer.
That power seems to have lost its accustomed
force. That unity which in other days made
the Republican organization invincible has
given place to irreconcilable feuds and dis
cords. The revolt in Pennsylvania will give
this State to the Democrats in future elec-
tons. The Republican party is weaker than
it has been since the war. The Democrats
of the North will make large gains in the
elections of this fall. They will sweep Ore
gon, California and Nevada, and gain
largely in the Northern and Eastern
States. Southern Democrats are still
true to their Northern allies, who in
the hour of adversely took upon
themselves our sins, suffered for our cause
even greater wrongs and indignities than we
endured ourselves. These friends were true,
tried and faithful. AS they have been loyal
to US through good and evil report, so should
We still prove true to them. We congratulate
the national Democracy on the hopeful signs
of the future

who on Saturday declared she shot her father
in self-defense. her brother and her elder
sister are now in Jail. The Daily Journal
has a full confession from the two girls,
showing that the murder was committed by
the brother in order that the children might
have things their own way at home, and that
it was arranged that the youngest sister
should acknowledge the shooting with the
idea that the plea of self-defense, and her
extreme youth, would save her from punish
ment, and thus her sister and brother escape
punishment also. There is much excitement
