The Political Horoscope.

American Proteetionist.
Since the formation of the Con-
gressional committees of. the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties the
members of each have been busiiy
engaged in scanning the political
situation for tho impending sstrug-
gle of controlling the next House.
The increase of membership from
293 to 325 under the census Of
1880 is apportioned by tho new
law at II 20 the Western States,
Is to The Southern States, q to the
Middle States, and l to the State
Of Massachusetts, the States of
Maine, New Hampshire, and Yer
mont each losing one Represents
tive. The Democrats are likely to
coEtrel the entire Is additional
Representative from tho South,
while the Republicans are not Ger
tain OF electing more than Is ont
of the II additional Representa-
tivcs. The gain of two members
to the Middle States cannot be-
claimed by either party, but tho
Republicans will doubtless add one
member to the Massachusetts del
egation.
1t will require 163 Tofcs 20 or
ganizo The next House and should
the Republicans hold their present
strength of AS, they will still re-
quire 10 additional members TO re-
tain their present control. Tie
Democrats practically have al
members. counting Democrats,
Grcenbackers, and Independents,
and they will need to hold their
own ana obtain an increase OF %
members TO regain control of tho
House, They Claim that they arc
in better condition than the Re
publicans. and with the increase of
/ ) members to tho Sonth will only
need seven more votes to consti-
tnte majority. These seven
votes and more are looked for in
Missouri, where four Greenbackers
and one Republican may be re-
placed with Democrats ono in
Kentucky, where the only Repub-
lican district has been changed by
re- districting it into Democratic
Stronghold !; il California, where
i. is expected three members will
be gained ar6 one in Oregon,
with chances OF increase in Ten
nessee, New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, and Indiana. The Republi-
cans arc not SO hopeful as their adt
versaries, but propose to contest
every inch of tho political battle
field.

Where Slate Pencils Come From.

Anyone who has children anG
who, about forty times during a
term, hears complaints about theil
pencils, their breaking or loss, will
perhaps be glad to know that the
supply is just about inexhaustible.
There is not the slightest danger
that the world will ever want tor
slate pencils. The hard black
German ones have been superseded
of late years by the round white
one OF clay slate. At the quarry
near Cast,eton, VT, about thirty
five workrnen produce $4,000 pen
ellis daily, and it is proposed to in
crease the daily ontpnf to 100000.
The blocks when quarricd are saw
ed into pieces seven by twelve
inches, split to thickness of half
inch and srnoethed by planer, the
block is uisced under semi-circu-
lar knife and after having been
turned over, the process is repeat

Remarkable Group of Sun Spots.

sion of being entangled in the huge
veil-like penunbra surrounding
them, is now advancing npon the

er the centre of the disk, where it
is not Improbable that they will be
visible as a black dot without the

not less than 10000 miles in diam
eter. 1t is a wonderful looking
object in the telescope, and every
increase of magnifylng power
brings to view spots not seen be-
fore, and complicated details OF
structure. Besides the large group
there is belt of smaller spots ex-
tending completely across the cen
trail portion of the sun.

Beginning to See Light.

The Boston Herald says: {" A
Republican of the most radical
type, who has spent year in trav-
cling through the South, writes to
us in private letter: " have
been born again in my views of the
Southern people. All the best
people are in the Democratic party,
and, if we had been raised South
we would have been there, tce.
And what is more we wonld have
winkcd at the revolution which
made the South solid, and drove
the Republican thieves ont of Of
flee. 1t was measure Of self
preservation" There is, says the
writer, no Republican party at the
South only a tew professional pol
iticians, who would lead ths ne
groes for the sake of getting the
effices. " As to the Independent
movement" he continues, :" it will
amount to nothing, except, per
haps, in one or two States unless
it takes some new form. The
Democrats particularly the youn-
ger members of the party-are
ready to Join with National Re
publican party of the North when
thers shall be an opportunity to do

to them, the coalitions look like the
old gang of scalawags under a new
name" And, in summing up his
impressions, the writer says: 81
believe all this just as strongly as l
would have disbelieved it wear
ago"
The comment Of the Herald-
which is one of the most widely cir
culate6 and powerful journals in
the universe-is just as emphatic
and significant. 1t is this : "Wlth

much that we have heretofore pub

that any cOerclve measures by the

in the abstract, will tend to arrest

dis.ntegration which have been no

81 Love Ycu."

A tired woman hushed to sleep
her nesting babe. Beauty once
made her face radient. perhaps,
but all that beauty is gore
now. The beauty, is dim and faded
the pale brow covered with lines of
care. Perhaps, with that far-otf
look of hers, she sees three little
graves, green with as many suns
mers. Her home is very humble.
All day she has toiled, and the
fsinting spirit almost surrenders 10
fatigue; the dewn-cast eyes tremble
in tears, she is so weary, and every
nerve tingles when the sboys'
come hungry from school, some
with tale OF sorrow that mother
must hear.
After they are hushed with kisses
or chidines, it is time to get supper
for seven hungry months, and the
accustomed, rever ending routine
of putting away and cleaning up,
till the worn ont creature wonders
with q sigh if there really will ever
come rest to her-an eternal rest
At last she can seat her weary
limbs in the eld corner rocking
chair. The babe, whose eyes close
titfully to lullaby, lies in his faith
er's lap. He is plain man, that
good father, with an honest face
and great heart, that would take
in all the cares and SORROWS of the
household.
The babo sleeps. With rude
gentleness he lays it on its mothers
bosom; and as tho ruddy freight
plays over hsr carewo,n features,
he looks upon her careworn features
he looks upon her with eyes sud-
denly grown lustrous and beautiful
He lifts his great hand softly til. it
rests Oh her shoulder, as he says:
81 love you, MARY
How the poor heart leaps into
love, light and rest !! How vanish

What were those in comparison
with the steadfast love that has
burned for eighteen years-in the
sunlight of happiness, through the
cIonds of despair, when beauty
made her winning, and when her
charm of loveliness, had gone, and
freshness Of youth departed forever!
What care she for aught outside
her home, though she had many
sorrows, while such words thrilled
her whole being!

Railroad Combination.

From the Standard We learn that
the Union Pacific has concluded an
arrangement whereby the Northern
Pacific will have the right to lay and
use third rail from its line to Butte
City, foriy-fve miles, and that the
Union Pacific shall lay third rail on
the Northern Pacific from the juno
ton to Helena. Both companies will
then have equal rights to Helena and
Butte City and will make the same
through rates from these points.
Secretary Kirkwood in his letter ac-
companying papers received by the
Senate on the 21st in regard to the
Northern Pacific land grant, says: 81
have the honor to transmit herewith
the report of the commissioner general
of the land Office on thesubject. From
this report it will be seen that patents
for lands m Olympia district, WASH
ington Territory, were issued on the
Sth of April, 1880, for 3,016 $40 acres
opposite a portion of the road con
structed by said company previous to
1876. No patents for lands have been
issued for 475 miles of said road con-
structed, examined and accepted in
1880 and 1881"
