When a Republican editor reaches the
point where he is ready to declare that the
Republican party is no better than the DEM
ocratic party ne should take down his sign.
That there are corrupt officials in the Re
publican party is fact to be deplored, but
much more deplorable would be the aces
sion of the Democratic party to power. The
time has not come for the Republican party
to step down and out, nor will it come until
something better is offered. Turn the ras-
calls OUT is very good war cry, but keep
the rascals OUT is the one ahat Republicans
should unite upon just now.

Mr.. Douglass Will Regret His Words.

Lafayette journal.
Mr.. Douglass is still Republican and
urges his people to cling to the Republican
party. But the Louisville convention not
being political, he embraced the occasion to
say things which he probably would not have
said elsewhere, and which, we believe, he
will regret saying when he reflects upon the
effect OF his words spoken at Louisville.

The Croakers and the Pension List.

For some time people OF, prodigious
love of country have been making extraor-
binary complaints because so many of the
surviving soldiers of the Union army have
applied for and been granted pensions. They
have predicted the destruction of the coun-
try, asserted that national bankruptcy was
inevitable, and much more cheap and windy
stuff. They demanded that the pension
bureau publish the names of such soldiers as
were drawing pensions. Cannot our readers
remember how boisterous these gloomy pat
riots were and how they asserted that one
third of the pensioners were ablebodied
men who secured the allowance by perjury
and forgery? 1t is now about a week since
the pension list has been penetrating to the
remotest corners of the land every news

I" MACBETH" TAKEN FROM TIE
BIBLE


You will find the principal char
acters of Macbeth" in the Book OF
Kings. Jezebel in the Bible is
Lady Macbeth" in the play. She
it was that stirred up her husband
to do all the deviltry he did. Then
take Hazael, a servant to the King.
Under the influence of his wife, Jez-
ebel, he plots to kill his master, and
become King of Syria in his stead.
This plot is successful, and Hazael
is crowned King. This character
exactly suits that of Macbeth" !"
The minor characters can also be
found in the Bible. OF course,
Shakespeare has altered the words,
but the plot and characters are to
be found there. DIR. Halsey, in
his lectures on Shakespeare at Prince
ton College, stated that Shakespeare s
regular practice was to study the
Bible seven hours a day. There
were not so many Bibles in his time
as there are now, but although very
costly, he had one, and made a daily
practice of studying it. Where DIR.
Halsey got his information 1 do not
know, but presume he is correct.

edly great man, / think he is con-
siderably oVerrated, 50 far as his or

ius of arranging the writings of

them in attractive style.

Wa ATRRLNq H0RSES.

There is a great diversity OF
opinion as to how often horses should
be wateIed during a day, whether
in summer or in winter We have
an article now before us of writer
of some distinction as an agricultur-
list, who advocates frequent water
ing of work horses, as a remover of
the vigor. of the animals. We can
not agree with him. We think
both man and beast are watered
too much. Men and herses at hard
work in warm weather prespire
just in proportion to the quantity of
fluids taken into the stomach. Ere
quent drinking in hot weather, ac-
cording to our experience, emascu-
lates instead of refreshes. Some
years ago, being at Cape may, in
in driving out in one of the stand
coaches of the place on a very hot
day, we asked the driver how it
was that his horse perspired so lit
tie, while the horses of private car
riages, going at q slower speed, were
covered with foam. He replied that
he watered his horses three times a
day only, though he sponged their
mouths frequently, while the pri-
vate drivers watered their horses
whenever they stepped. He said,
and it seemed to us very sensible,
that the frequent watering of horses
effected no good purpose, while it
made them very uncomfortable and
lethargic. Horses, no matter what
their work was, did not need water
ing oftener than three times day.
Our own experience with horses all
our life is to the same effect. .-Er-

How to Get Around the World
i'm % Hours.

An eccentric Berlin philosopher
announces that he has discovered a
way to make trip around the
world in twenty four hours. He
says that he is informed by the Cap
tain of ships that birds are seen at
sea thousand miles or more from
land, and pronounces it selfevident
that they must reach shore in a
very short time, since they cannot
find resting place in mid ocean.
From this he conceived the idea
that they merely raised themselves
aloft, and, with only enough motion
to keep afioat, remain as nearly
stationary as possible, while the
earth revolves around under them.
All they then have to do is to wait
until the desired spot on the earth's
surface comes along, and thereup-
on comfortably to lower themselves
to solid ground. This ingenious
practice on the part of birds the
Berlin man proposes to initiate for
mankind with the assistance of q
balloon and passenger car of pecu-
liar construction that he has invent
ed, and which will soar aloft and re
main stationary, while the restless
earth rolls on below. 1t does not
appear that he hassuccessfnlly tried
q trip with his balloon himself, but
he has laid his theory before the
Polytechnic Society of Berlin, and
given an elaborate exposition of it.
The society received it apparently
with levity, but the inventor is in
dead earnest.

SOME OF THE NEW La WS.
TIE NEW FISH LAW.

The late fish law passed by the
Legislature provides as follows
The act, in precise and explicit Ian
guage, prohibits all kinds of fishing,
or killing Of fish, whether in run
ming streams, or lakes or ponds hav-
ing outlets into running streams, by
any other means than by angling
with hook and line. But it does
not prohibit using a hand or min
now net to catch minnows for bait.
Private fish ponds may be excepted.
To put q trap in q stream which
will prevent the free ascent or de-
scent of fish is made unlawful.
Damaging fsh-eggs or young fish is
made unlawful Violations of the
law are made indictable, and it is
made the duty of the circuit and
criminal courts to give the act in
charge to the grand juries, who are
given inquisitorial powers. All
boats, canoes, nets, seines and other
used in violating law
are forfeited, and are to be sold, and
the proceeds to go to the public
schools.
