Stealing Honesty.

Paradoxical as the above caption
may seem it has actually been at
tempted by the Republicans of Penn
sylvania. 1t is well known that for
some time a feud has existed among
the black clans of that State-the
Wolfes and others having revolted
against the plaided chief Cameron.
At love feast held in Philadelphia
on the lst inst. by the discordant fac
tons the following among other reso-
lutions, were adopted:
Resolped, That we recommend the adoption of the
following principles and methods by the Republican
State Convention Of May 16:
1. That we unequivocaly condemn the use Of
patronage to promote personal political ends and re-
quire that all officers shall be upon the sole basis Of
fitness.
2. That competent and faithful officers should
not be removed except for cause.
8. That the non-elective minor offices should be
filled in accordance with rules established by law.
4. That the ascertained popular will shall be
faithfully carried out in State and national conven-
ton, and by those holding office by the favor of the
party. }H
5. That we condemn compulsory assessments for
political purposes and prescription for failure to
respond either to such assessments to requests for
voluntary contributions, and that any policy of
otical prescription is unjust and calculated to dis
turb party harmony. ..H.
/ 6. That public office constitutes high trust to
be administered solely for the people whose interest
must be paramount to those OF persons or parties,
and that 1t should be invariably conducted with the
same efficiency economy and integrity as are ex-
pected in the execution ofprivate trusts
1t has been an old practice of the
Republicans to appropriate the time
honored principles of the Democracy,
and claim them as their own, but we
were hardly prepared to hear that,
even in Pennsylvania where the Re-
publicans are noted for stealing every.
thing. from President to a nickel, they
would attempt the bold larceny of the
declarations and principles Of living
senator and claim as their own the
measures of reform proposed by such
we'll known Democratic leader as
George R. Pendleton.
/ The Republican party has been in
undisputed authority and almost un-
limited power for over score Of years,
and civil service has been to it mouse
in the cats paws; and now, when
Pendleton has made this much needed
reform practicable, the Republican
dissenters in the Keystone State step
forward and with the impudence oi
highway robbers, say, "that is oursl"
Come, you disgusted Republicans,
if you really wish to reform the
abuses IN your party and are not
merely envious and desirous of the
spoils which others are sappropriatiug
abandon the sinking craft and enlist
under the banner of Democracy. The
necessity Of civil reform has been de-
claredaby the Democracy in its con-
ventions ever since the rape of the
Presidency, and it will not only find
fitting place in those yet to be pro.
claimed, but it will be made effective
as soon as the good old party obtains
power, which will not be great
while.

1t is with pleasure we announce to our readers
that Judge j. NJ Haag has kindly consented to assist
US during the summer and coming fall campaign

The iniquties Of the party in power in our national
AFFAIRS together with the outrageous and shameful
Legislation of the present Republican State Legsla-
ture, makes the coming campaign one Of the most
important in our history one in whichs the people
through the Democratic party will make determined
fight for the preservation Of those principles laid
down by Jefferson and the founders Of our govern
ment, which dear to every true American cit
izen.
The vigorous pen Of Mr.. Haag will materially as
sist us in placing the DEMOCRATIC NORTHWEST in
the foremost rank, and make 1t one of the boldest
advocates Of Democracy andthe rights of the people
in the State.

the result of an experiment performed
upon some SCOT with which the inside
surface of an old flue, pulled down dur
ing the late alterations at the royal mint,
was found to be thickly caked. This aue
had served for many years as an outlet
for the smoke given off by the furnaces
IN which the bullion undergoes fusion
before it's conversion into coinage, and it
occurred to the architect experimenting
the repairs in question that it might be
worth while to analyze the SCOT lining
the chimney through which fumes of
boiling gold and silver had passed in
such quantities. The iquefactions of
the less precious metal required tenn
perature of 1000 degrees Celsius, while
that of gold cannot be effected under
1850 degrees. It is usual to bestrew
the surface of these metals, when in
liquid state, with charcoal, in order to
hinder evaporation. But, at such
fierce heat as that above indicated, some
evaporation is bound to take place, and
its results were made manifest by the
yield of four pounds weight of pure
gold, valued at something under 1000
marks, obtained from the SCOT that was
scraped off the inside of the melting
room chimney in question. -Londop

Ragged but Revered Old Mats.

The following is taken from GA La
dy's Cruise on French Man-of-War," a
new book by Gordon Cumming:
[ well remember our establishment.
when the Samoan chiefs came to Fiji to
consult Sir Arthur Gordon on the ques-
ton of British protection, to see with
what infinite solemnity these fine, stately
men presented him with very dirty and
exceedingly unfragrant and tattered. old
mat, which, believe, was to be offered
to her majesty, Queenie Vikatoria, but
has, I think, found an asylum in the
British Museum. What makes this so
very strange is that the mats worn by
the Samoan chiefs and ladies are beauti-
fully fine and glossy, of the most deli
cate straw color, and edged with hand
some grass fringe, Whatever may have
been the origin of this form of antigua
rian lunacy, its existence is an unmis-
taxable reality. The Samoan chief
treasures the dirty and ragged old mat
of some revered ancestor as a British
regiment does the tattered colors which
find their honored rest in some gray
sanctuary. The old mat, which, from
generation to generation, has been ieal-
OuSly SuaEoeu Ny LIS Cldu, Is LIS paGeuG
of nobility, and the titIe-deed which
proves his right to broad acres. Some
of these stripes of dirty old mating,
which no rag-man would pick off dust
heap, are known throughout the group
by special names. There is one which is
known to be upwards of 200 years old,
during which period its successive guar
dams have all been duly enrolled. 1t is
called "Moee-fui-fui," q. e., the mat
which slept beneath the vines, in ailu-
sion to it's having lain hidden for several
years among the lilac ipomeas, which
Irvine in matted tangles all along the sea-
beach. No money would induce Sa-
moan to sell one of these unsavory
treasures. It is said that e10O might be
offered in vain, though I certainly can
not imagine any sane person offering
10Od. However, it is simply form of
relic-worship, and probably no whit
more foolish than the alteration of dirty
clothes and kindred objects, supposed to
have been hallowed by the touch of
Christian or Buddhist saints.

An Ancient Fortress,

Interest now attaches to the Citadel
OF Cairo, Cor Arab Pasha has secured
possession of it, and also of the Mokat-
tam Hills, behind, which completely
command it. It was erected by Saladin
in 1865, and it's walls, tradition says,
we're formed of blocks of stone brought
from the smaller pyramids of Gizeh.
Mehemet Ali captured this castle from
the hands of Khoorshid Pasha by erect
ing and arming battery on the adjacent
hills; and it was within its walls that oc-
CURED the memorable massacre of the
Mamelukes. From the terrace one has
magnificent view of Cairo, the delta,
the Nile Valley, and the pyramids of
Gizeh and Sakarah. Krupp guns have
been set up within the citadel.

How Peopie Die,

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in one of
his sermons says: ST think the great
majority of people die very much as 81
leaf does. Its supply of juice grows less,
and the stem is less and less nourished,
and it gradually retracts and shrinks
within itself and hangs on the branch;
and some day when the wind blows in
very gentle puffs the leaf is lifted a little
and the connection breaks, and it wavers
and waivers through the air and settles
without sound upon the ground. /
suppose that the great majority are as
unconscious of the phenomenon of dying
as children are of going to sleep; it is so
like it that it is called in Scripture fall
ing asleep only there the figure is
sweetened and made more beautiful, in
that we fall asleep in Jesus, or in His
arms"

And distant and dim was the omen
That limited redress or release.
From the ravage of Life, and its riot,
What marvel / yearn for the quiet
Which bides in this Harbor at TASTY
For the lights, with their welcoming qnVer,
That throb through the sanctitied river
Which girdles the Harbor dt last

A White Man Made a Chief by Indians.

Chief James Baker is the recipient of
a good deal of attention in Denver just
now. He lives in the wilderness of
Wyoming, with no neighbor nearer than
forty miles, and iourneyed to Denver
the other day to shake hands with his
old friends for the last time. For many
years he was war chief of powerful
tribe of Sioux Indians, but he never
would fight his brother whites. Gen.
Cook says that once Baker was shot by
an Indian in battle, the arrow piercing
his upper lip. Baker coolly pulled the
barb from the lacerated flesh saying:

there was every reason for the opposing
soldiers to want to get as far away as
possible. Long, two-handed swords
were in use in various parts of Europe
during the middle ages, but it is from
Scotland that we have heard the most
about them.
Some of the German swords, used by
the mercenary soldiers in the French re-
hgious wars, were enormous two-handed
weapons, with sharp points, jagged edges,
and great spikes near the base of the
blade; but these heavy swords were used
only by soldiers who were uncommonly
strong and skillful; for any awkwardness
on the part of man swinging such a
tremendous blade was apt to inhict as
much injury on his companions as on
the enemy. Some of the long swords of
the middle ages were used more for show
and ceremony than for actual service.
The sword of Edward the Third, which is
preserved in Westminster Abbey, is sew
en- feet long and weighs eighteen pounds.
This, it is said, was carried before the
king in professions, and was probably
never used in any other way.

We referred a week or two ago to an
alleged invention of German chemist by
which wooden and cotton fabrics could be
coated with a layer of dissolved silk and
made to assume the glossy and soft ap-
pearance of actual silk goods. Expert
ments IN a somewhat similar direction
appear to have been made by French
chemist, who, however, coats his mater
1al with thin layer of tin instead of
silk. The modus operandi is described
as follows: He first makes mixture of
zinc powder and dissolved albumen,
which he spreads over the fabric by
means OF brush, leaving it to dry,
when the stuff is passed first through
superheated steam and afterwards
through solution of chloride of tin. BY
this means an exceedingly thin layer of
tin is spread over the whole side of the
fabric, which is thus rendered water
proof and protected against ordinary
rough usage. The utility of the inven-
ton Is not quite apparent, for probably
few people would care to don garments
in which they would bear very close re-
semblance to animated kettles and tea
pots; though in the preparation of thea
trical dresses, and even of the bright
trimmings IN which the female heart
delights, the invention might find linn.

Odd Follows BAN at the New Music Hall.

Under the auspices of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, charming ball was given on We'd
nesday evening last, at the New Music Hall. The
occasion the celebration of the introduction of
Odd Fellowship INTO the United States Invitations
had been extended TO His Majesty and the Royal
Princesses, but only Princess Likelike was able TO
attend.
In order to convert this handsome theatre into a
commodiOus and spacious ball room, the orchestra
and parquette had been covered over with a sec
tional floor, which can be removed at any time with
comparatively little labor. This floor covered
with white cloth, faultlessly laid down. The en-
tire stage was thrown open, thus giving space of
~ feet by an average of b feet for dancing. A
most appropriate background separated the ball
room from the supper table. at the same time CIV
ing picturesque and elegant appearance.
Eight O'Clock was the hour announced for dancing
but it was half past before the band played the in
duction to the first quadrille. h. X. II. Princess

with Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, Mrs. Lame and NJ.
Feer Miss Feer and Mr.. BickertOn made up the first
set, and they quickly followed by about twelve
more sets. From this hour until about half past
one O'Clock in the morning, dancing was kept up
with decided animation, excellent music being fur
nished by Mr. Berger's quadrille band.
The supper, provided by Hart Bros, was first
class in every respect. The excellent menu was
evidence of the ability of the caterers and there
was abundance Of everything.
Under the direction of the various committees,
the arrangements were perfect, which ELECTED but
one opinion, that the ball was a grand success.
