which he and his pal are charged.
| Immediately after the arrival of
the Louisville train at 5p. m. last

quehtly ascertained that the men

ductor and put off the train about

Birthplace of Dickens.

A gentleman writes to the Pail Mall Ga
zette-A week ago, being in Portsmouth, /
was DESTROYS of seeing the birthplace of
Charles Dickens, and was surprised to find
uncertainty prevailing on the subject. 1t
was known to be one of the houses in Mile
end terrace, which is on the left side of Com
meroial road, Landport, Portsea, and about
one mile from Portsmouth town railway
station. Proceeding thither, [ found four
small old houses, with gardens in front, and
green ratings and trees. / had been di-
rected to the first house of the four (now
No. 1917, but afterward learned from some
of the old Inhabitants of the immediate
neighborhood that the last house (No. 1881
was considered to be the right one. With
reference to the birthplace, Forster, in his
"Life of Charles Dickens" vol. L., page 2,
says, "He has often told me that he remem-
bered the small front garden to the house at
Portsea, from which he was taken away
when Two years old, and where, watched by
a nurse through low kitchen window all
most level with the gravel walk, he trotted
about with something to eat, and his little
elder sister with him. He was carried from
the garden one day to see the soldiers ex-
ercise." l venture to suggest the desira-
bility of clearing up the doubt (if any really
exist), and that the true house, when ascer-
tanned, should have small tablet placed
upon it. To do this would, / think, be a
creditable action on the part of the citizens
of Portsmouth, and it would also be great
boon to all casual visitors who, like myself,
take profound interest in even the slightest

\ Political Paragraphs.

1t is better TO be with party wrong on
one question, than to be with party wrong
on all questions.-Ben Harrison of Indiana.
Gov. Butler says he would rather go down
to posterity as Nero than as nobody. All
right, Benjamin; go as you please, but co.
Chicago News.
There is no class more responsible for
corruption in American politics than those
who stay away from the polls on election
day.-Cin. Commercial Gazette.
Governor Butler, when asked recently by
friend what he thought of the Democratic
party, replied: "The Democratic party is a
political bicycle; / am riding it now"
The latest prediction from the Republican
headquarters at Boston is that Robinson will
have a vote of 900 and majority of 49,
900. The elephant is waking up and shak-
ing himself in a remarkable manner, wher-
ever Mr. Robinson goes.
The issue this fall is not Republicans VS..
Democrats There are many good, honest,
straightforward Democrats. The fight is
between decency and squareness, as against
all that Pandora's box of political evils
summed up in the one word ButIerism.-
Southbridge Mass journal.
The Republican situation has immensely
improved within four months. The clouds
which were ominous in the spring have for
the most part broken up and scattered. The
accidental Democratic successes have
brought disappointment aud the outlook has
very plainly changed. We advance to the
contest with a general spirit to meet the best
public demands. 1t looks very much as if
the Presidency would seek the man.-Phila-
delphia Press.
The most encouraging feature of the Re-
publican canvass in this State is to be found
in the character and strength of the men up
on whom the party is everywhere bestowing
its legislative nominations. Looked at from
any point of view this fact is evidence that
the party is alert and awake to the impor-
lance of the campaign, and determined at
one stride to cover the long distance by
which it was left in the rear last autumn
Albany Journal.
Ex-Congressman E. John Ellis of Louisi-
ana, while insisting that he knows tina. Mr..
Tilden is not a candidate for nomination,
says that he will make the Democratic par
ty trouble. Mr.. Ellis says: "Tilden is lay
ing plans to dictate to the convention the
nominee. He is the best political planner
today living. He is now and has been for
some time laying the plans for the nomina-
ton of Gov. Cleveland. 1t has only leaked
out recently that his was the master brain
behind the Holman movement. Mcdonald
must be killed off in order to enable Tilden
to carry out his scheme, and fear he will

German, but he is still jew; he may be &
Pole, but he is still Jew, and this distinc-
ton is not only religious, but it is ethnologi-
cal. The German or the Pole is only skin
deep. The jew part goes to the bone and
into the very centre and marrow OF his be-
ing. The foreigner is the accidental, the
Jew is the inherent and Interchangeable in
him. The lady is now an American; her
ancestors were Portuguese; the jew re-
mains. Sand am proud of it, quoth she
with spirit and emphasis.
Socially the Jews of New York are still
largely world by themselves. There are
number of exclusively Jewish clubs, some
OF them, like the Harmonic, in Forty second
street, domiciled in handsome and commo-
diops clnb-houses. Old World Jews, espec-
ialeY the Polish variety, (which includes, al
so, those OF the Vistula Provinces OF Frus-
STA, Austria, and Russia, take life as very
solemn fact, with little to make merry over.
The well-to-do German born or American
born jew, on the other hand is, as rule,
an exuberant individual, as if the suppress
slons OF past centuries were crowding Tor
expression in a single generation. He en-
joys life to the utmost, likes to see and be
seen, is full of restless push, and when this
is coupled with ignorance and vulgarity, as
naturally happens now and then, the i'm
preston made on sensitive and refined peo-
pie is not always one of agreeableness. How
ever, this development is as much deplored
by cultivated Jews as by any other class,
and some excellent advice has of late been
given from Jewish pulpits and through jew
ish periodicals on this subject. 1t is devel-
opment resulting from abnormal Citations
to society, past and present, and with bet
ter adjustment, such as time must necessar-
lily bring about, most that is now offensive
will no doubt be toned down, if not entirely
eradicated. No race of men have ever been
handicap ed as the Jews; taken all in all,
none have stood the ordeal as well. And
inasmuch as he is an important factor in
this community, and is Likely to grow mere
and more important, wise economy would
dictate the cultivation of spirit of accom-
mediation. Our neighbors are often what we
make them. The Jew of to-day is largely
product of the worst developments in
Christianity-its prejudices and expressions.
1t is time that the better side Of Christian
civilization was turned toward him. Who
can doubt that such course would cali out
all that is most estimable in this sterling
race?

The partial failure of the Edmunds law
seems to have strengthened the influence of
the Mormon leaders with their followers by
tending to confirm the claim of the former
that polygamy is a divine institution which
cannot be oyerthrown by human law. The
conference which has just been held at Salt
Lake was characterized by unusual boldness
Of utteranee on the part of the apostles and
unusual enthusiasm on the part of their
people. Not only were the powers of earth
defied, but heaven and hell as well. It be-
comes more and more evident that tempo
rizing policy with the Mormons is produc-
tive of much more harm than good. An evil
which few years ago might easily have
been eradicated has now grown SO great as
to make its defiance of the government by
no means an empty boast. Those who have
professed to believe that the Mormon fabric
If let alone would fall to pieces from its own
inherent defects will search in vain for any
signs of crumbling. The fact is, the system
is gaining strength year by year. If it is to
be attacked successfully it must be attacked
In overwhelming force. The weak and I'M
successful assaults which have been made
upon it from time to time have only served
to increase the audaclty of its defenders.

The despatch from Minneapolis which re-
ports that an attempt will be made to re-
nominate the old Democratic ticket with the
knowledge and consent of both the parties
to it is probably just as authoritative as a
hundred dispatches on the same subject
have been, and no more so. The interesting
feature of the despatch is its disclosure of
the lofty and patriotic motives of two Dem
ocratic statesmen who arc urging the Grey
stone sage to be a candidate Mr.. Hendricks
1t seems, favors the old ticket because the
chances are that Bfr. Tilden will die before
completing the Presidential term and
therefore he will succeed to the Presidency;

letter which turns the half ounce on the
scales of one Office and does not quite bal
ance in another. Sometimes letter which
weighs half an ounce when mailed will alb
sorb so much moisture en- route, as 10 re-

HIS BENEVOLENT WORK AMONG THE FRuIr
AND FLOWERS.


Mrs. Helen Young Bailey Of New Hamp-

naturalist, as having said to lady who made
bitter complaint of the depredations of the
rose-bug: at is good enough for you; you
had all the snakes killed; and she adds this
item of personal experience:
"A few years ago lively little striped
snake made its haunt among my cucumber
vines, and took the job of attending to the
bugs. ! was careful never to disturb it, and
it grew quite tame, and was always there,
alert and watchful, intent on its own business
and not miDding me. wisely taught wee
maiden of my neighbor grows enthusiastic
over the nice little toads, who watch for the
bugs"
Commenting on the above, the agricultur-
al editor of the Chicago Herald gives add.
tional evidence in favor Of the same humble
allies, which, il undisturbed, help to main
taiu the proper balance in nature:
at was only the other day that member Of
our household was borrifed by the presence
of a striped snake high up in the leaves and
branches Of climbing rose. Help was
called and the bright little reptile was at
once dispatched. He was entirely HARM
less, and no doubt gliding about the climber
for the purpose Of catching insects--his
benefcent missive availing nothing TO save
pronounced against all snakes. But in the
case of the common gsrter-snake this dread
and horror is very foolish. These little snakes
live entirely upon insects until they grow
large enough to swallow small frogs /; but even
the frogs must make but very Sun al portion
of their diet. At times they will follow the
plough for hours, and may frequently be
seen intent upon the capture Of bugs and
worms. And in the meadows they must SUBJ
sist altogether upon insects. The fact is,
they deserve to live for the good they do,
these harmless little snakes. Years ago we
quit killing these snakes from belief that
they do good work, and we never molest
them in any way unless they come very near
the house and are liable to frighten someone
else. And even then we choose TO drive them
off or carry them away rather than do them
any injury. A couple Of boys on a neigiibor-
ing farm have been in the habit Of sowing a
large patch Of melons every season for many
years. They early found out the usefulness
Of the little garter-snakes in destroying the

Grass.

Director Sturtevant concludes from exper-
iments at the Geneva Station that orchard
grass is worthy Of place in mixture of
pasture seeding, the same of tall meadow oat
grass: rescue grass appears to possess little
usefulness in presence Of our better varieties |;
tall fescue has value for pasture; meadow
foxtail is Of use for early pasture: "timothy
seems only to be grown successfully by itself
in rotation with wheat upon our rich soils :"
June grass is able to Withstand severe drouth
on account Of its deep roofing habit; las
matter of common observation. the nontuft.
ing species have ever been more popular for
the purpose Of cultivation than those which
form tussocks."
