In a Sleeping Car

Tuesday night on the Lake Shore

oouhd west, large party of whole :
sale druggists were in special sleep=
ing car on their way to the druggists
convention at CleaveIand. Among
them was small-sized man, full Of
Democracy, and Instead of going to-
bed like his fellow-travelers, mostly
Republicans, he kept awake and
would jump off at every station and
ask how New York had gone, At
stopping-place he heard that Cleve.
land had 100000 majority and that it
was increasing. Full of excitement
the enthusiastic little man rushed
oack In the car, and thrusting his
hand into a berth, dragged out, as he
thought, brother druggist. The
latter's wife was, however, with him:
and they had changed positions, con-
sequently the Democrat got the
wrong man ~ out on the floor:
Those who happened to stick their
heads out between the curtains saw
confused mass of petticoats, Demo-
crat, hosiery, Republican, shawIs, ETC.;
and the next moment the enthusias.

The Democratic OppOrtunitY.

1t strikes us that our friends the
Democratic leaders and statesmen
who are just now hurrying into print
with their full disclosures Of the plans
and purposes of their party. and their
favOrite methods for retaining the
confidence Of the people so that the
seed Of 1882 may come to a harvest in
1884 are firing a trifie wild. Here
come Immediately on the heels of
this great Democratic success a conA
siderable trOuple of statesmen, each
with his own notion of the meaning
of the victory and his own iCea of
the proper methods for securing and
making permanent the results. Mr..
Samuel j. Randall, under whose
leadership when his party was in
power the appropriations were sly be.
logged and mixed up with deficiency
bills us to make it quite possible for
him to claim the credit of having
effected great retrenchment i'm the
expenditures OF the Government, is
of the opinion that the thing to do is
cut down the appropriations exhibit
the Democracy to- the country as the
party of economy. and on that record
90 to the people In 1884. 1t isn't at
all strange that he should view the
situation in that light. This is his
hobby. If his party takes it up, the
chances are several to one that it will
take him up with it. There are many
apostles of the gospel of cheese. pairing
retrenclTment in the Democratic par.
ty, but Of all of them Mr.. RandaII is
chief. And if retrenchment is TO he
the issue for 1881, thereiS no one filter
than he to lead the hosts.
But here coNTes Mr. Wattcrson Ia
the front with the only real true.blue,
simon-pure, sure-tO-wcrk recipe for a
Democratic victory III 1884, in the
shape of a straightforward d and manly
adoption Of the free trade dogma as
the issue. Behind him are Frank
Hurd, of Ohio, Carlisle, Beck and
Black burn, of Kentucky, Hewitt. Cox
and Dorsheimer, of New York, and
stragglers from all the States. To the
Watterson mind the thing seems per-
fecrly plain. The party, according to
his notion, did not suffer defeat in
1880 because the tariff -for-revenue
plank was in the platform, but be.

American Fables.

A parrot who lived next door to a
nightingale one day rushed over and
rang the bell and called out:
"For heavens sake do ask your
children to stop that noise ~
"What noise?
"Why, that Internal chattering and
shrleking in your back yard. People
talk about the sweet song of the
nightingale, but in truth it is enough
to drive one insane. 1 demand that
you keep your children still"
"But have no children"
"WeIl, who is that making such a
noise behind the house ?''
beg pardon, but the noise is In
your own yard"
"Ihen what business have nightin-
gales on the premises 2"
The racket is caused by your own
children Mrs. Parrot.
Indeed, so it is ; hut if you didn't
live next door they wouldn't act So
"You forget that l had lived here
for years when you came into this
neighborhood."
"Yes; but l didn't suppose you
would be so touchy about a trifiins
noise"
LET me remind you that I had
not even noticed the racket until you
came over here to complain"
"Oh, well!' snapped the parrot, as
she turned away, "If you are bound
to pick fuss with me because the
voice Of a parrot is sweeter than that
of a nightingale, you will certainly
ind some excuse to do so, and !
might as well save my breath"
Moral-If y0u are a parrot, never
get among nightingales, unless you

Children and Work,

IN an English industrial school
containing about six Hundred chill
dren, half girls and half boys, it be-
came convenient to give the girls
about eighteen hours Of book instr1c-
tion per week and eighteen hours Of
work, while the boys remained at full
school time of thirty+sIx hours per
week. Or examination day ft was
found thar the girls were more alert
mentally and practically in advar ce
of the boys. When work was found
for the boys and their school hours
reduced from thirty six to eighteen,
they did as we'll as the girls. While
too much work and too little play
makes Jack dull boy, it seems pret-
ty evident that portion of children's
time can be employed in industrial
work to their advantage. Perhaps
it would do well to divide their
waking hours one third to work,
one third to study and One-third to
play.-Dr. Foote's Hedltb MonthLy.

Thompson thepOet, who wrote so in
praise of early rising, rarely got out
of bed before eleven O'Clock, and
wrote most ofthPse poems, indeed,
while lying in bed. He used to be
seen walking, or rather lOunging
about in Lord Burlington's gardens,
with his hands crowded into his
pockets, laMly biting off Of the sunny
sides of the peaches. But, when you
can duplicate "The Seasons" you
may lie in bed till noon, all day, if
you please, and the world will still
thank you for living. When you
have written so much, so vigorous
and 80 beautiful poetry as Mr.. Ten

An old Scottish dame, rather too

one day "unco' drouthie" and with

'drappie." She thought that there
was chance of getting 1t on credit
from public house near (; so, sum

said:
"Lassie, gang round to Donald
MacCalum and bring me gill. Tell
him pll pay him il the morning" :"
Back came the damsel with a re.
fuSal. Donald declined to part with
his whiskey without cash. Eager
and irritated the Old woman cast
about for some means of "raising the
wind" and her eye fell upon the
family Bible.
"Here, lassie," said She, "gin him
this, and tell him to keep it until l
bring the siTIer."
OFF went the little messenger who
soon returned. however, bearing the
Bible. Donald was obdurate.

The Democratic party. in the exu-
berance of their joy at the recent vic
tory, are predicting the speedy dis
ease and dissolution of the Rpublican
party. In fact they have proclaimed
its death already, fixed the date of
the funeral obsequies and propose to
administer on the estate at once.
Hold on, gentlemen hold on bit.
Weadmit that the "Republican Boy"
did get terrible spanking last week,
one that he will not soon forget, and
he may not be able to sit for awhile
with any degree of comfort, yet he is
not dead. When the mother has ap.
piled the slipper to an unruly boy,
the funeral does not follow imme-
diately after. Not much. Perhaps
the "Republican Boy" deserved all
he got last week-we know he need
ed something of the kind; but the
Republicans who voted to chastise
him are as much Republicans as eyer,
and the boy is not dead. He was en-
tirely too robust to be killed so easily
and so suddenly and the country we
all love so well cannot dispense with
his services yet; and there is no
corpse prepared for the funeral and
there won't be funeral and we ad.
wise the Democrats not to run too
close to that supposed corpse, if they
do not want to be kicked into the
middle of next year. Wait until
next year; wait until 1884, and YOU
will see how much good this spank
ing did the Republican party. Bet

ments until it is certain the corpse is
really for the funeral, and don't adj

Influence of the Soil on Health.

The influence of the soil upon the
health of those living upon it, is
brought out very plainly during the
prevalence of epidemic diseases:
That malarial diseases like intermit-
tent fevers) originate from the soil,
is already accepted ; and recent in
YestigationS show pretty exclusively
that the germs Of Cholera, Abdomi-
nal Typhus, Yellow Fever, and the
plague are in some way connected
with the soil, which is daily corrobo-
rated by letters from all parts of the,
country, stating the marvellous effect
Per,ota has on those diseases, and i'm
their convalescent state. JOHN f.
COURTNEY, of Co ry, Pa, says; II
am still getting better, thanks to-
