MANY Republicans in Pennsyl-
vania are merry because DoE CAM
ERoN has sailed for Europe to be
absent come length of time. They
have an idea that the boss has quit
politics, and that the breach be-
tween the Independents and Stall
warts can be amicably adjusted, but
they are pslpably mistaken in this
matter. Although CAMERON has
gone, yet he has left his business in
the hauds of trusty servants who will
cater to all HE wishes. Unless the
Independent party yields to the die
tatorship of the great boss. harmany
and unity cannot be restored in the
disorganized ranks Of the party in
that State. QUAY s. Co., are run
ming the CAMERON machine, and
they keep it well oiled too.

The steamship Nevnda arrived last
week with 674 new recruits for
Mormondom. The people of the
United States raised tremendous
howl about Chinese immigration to
our country, but these lecherous
enemies Of refined society and free
government are allowed safe asy-
lum in out midst. OF the two evils,
the wholesale importation OF Nor
mans to this country is ten times the
greater. We rid ourselves of the
Chinese and now let us get rid OF the
Mormone. Laws have been mad q
for the purpose OF routing out this
moral evil but ID every instance they
have proved unavailiug. The Uniled
States Government is bound to sup

If legislation proves a dead letter, we
must blot them out either by ex-
termination or Punishment.

have just returned from trip u,
from the North Wisconsin Railway
where | wont to catch n string OF cod
fish and anything else that might b.
contagious.
Northern Wisconsin is the place where
they yank big wet log into mill ant
turn it into cash as quick as railroad
man can draw his salary out OF the pay
car. The log is held on a carriage by
means of iron dogs while it is being
worked into lumber These iron dogs
are not like those we see on the front
steps of a brown-stone front occasional
ly. They are another breed Of dogs
The managing editor Of the mill lays
out the log in his mind and works it in
to dimension stuff, single bolts, slabs,
edgings, two by tours, two by Fights,
two by skies, etc, so as to use the goods

/ stood there for long time watching
the various saws and listening to their
monotonous growl, and wishing that II
had been born a successful timber thief
instead Of a poor boy without rag to-
my back.
At one OF these mills, not long ago, a.
man backed UP to get away from the
carriage, and tboughtlesslv backed
against large saw that was revolving
at the rate of about 200 times minute.
The saw took large chew Of tobacco
from the plug he had in his pistol pock-
ct, and then began on him.
But there's no use going into details.
Such things are not cheerful. They
gathered him up ont of thesaw-dust and
put him in nail key and carried him
away, but he did notspeak again. Life
was quite extinct. Whether it was the
nervous shock that killed him, or the
Of the cold saw against
his liver that killed him, no one ever
knew.
The mill shut down a couple Of hours
so that the head sawyer could file his
saw, and then work was resumed once
more.
We should learn from this never to
can on the buzz saw when it moveth it.

little Stems That Are Significant.

Napkins are indexes of locality. The
Bostonian uses his vigorously; it is
spotless, but much rumpled at the end
of a dinner; his energy has constantly
drawn it across the width OF his mouth,
and has Lard it on the table with apau-
inc crush. The New Workers. napkin
bears signs Of use otherwise than in lis
folds; it has n central identation MADE
by the thumb and foretinger as it has
been thrust against the front OF the lipi
and is thrown carelcSslv on the chair al
the end OF repast. The Westerner'
napkin, as broadly spread under his
chin, preserves its original smoothness
and lines Of folding, though otherwise il
shows how necessary has been its appll
cation to the vest. There is generous
bonhommie about men who thus spread
out their napkins, and it means bust
ness of which they are not ashamed; L
is comradeship in the necessities OF eat
ing. The Southerner often diSpcnse
with his, for though placed in his lap IL
its square or triangular outlines, ltther'
remains. Both Westerner and Southern
er show their appreciation of home train
inc and the laundry exigencies by fold
ing up their napkins and placing then
on the table.
Among the spoken signs of ones 10
cality are the beginnings OF converse
tions, at table or on piazzas. The pleas
ent, easy good morning, with the hope
expressed that it will be good day TO
business or excursions, rs if making
personal statement in which every on
will be interested, proves the cosmopo
lite. The invalid inquiries after tn
sleeping hours and shows, by reference
to throat or liver, whether he Is iron
