Last fall a number of so-called
Independent" Republican papers
did their best to sow the seeds of
mistrust and discord in the Repub-
lican ranks, maintaining that the
true path to victory lay through Re-
publican defeat. The result was a
bountiful crop of Democratic victo-
ries all over the north. Now these
same papers are clamorous for a re-
united Republican party. Had they
shown half the zeal last fall in be-
half of reform inside the Republican
lines, there would be less occasion
now for these urgent appeals for
harmony. With Democracy en-
trenched in power in most of the
northern States, the battle of 1884
will have to be fought under great
disadvantages - Gettysburg Star and

sack" is the name of q tame crow owned
by lady living in Seekonk, Mass. All
the cats and dogs in the neighborhood fear
Jack, as if he was wild besst Of prey;
for his bill is sharp and his pecks incisive,
Jack begins his days work early in the
morning by clearing the barn-windows
of all spiders. This fall six men were dig
ging pOtatoes in the field, and Jack fol-
lowed them all day long in order to eat the
white grubs they turned up.
Jack is frst-rate mimic. He will imi-
tate the bark of dog so perfectly as to de-
eeive the sharpest ears.
One morning, not long ago, Jacks owner
heard some one vhistling in the yard. Sur
prised that the whistler should remain so
long outside, she opened the door to find
Jack sitting on q broomstick and whistling
with all his strength.
A strange man came into the barn, few
weeks since. AS he wore neither shoes nor
stockings, Jacks attention was attracted by
his bare feet. He Investigated them with
such vigorous pecks that the man roughly
pushed him away several times.
In few minutes the man yelled and
j umped three feet in the air. The indig-
nant Jack had stolen behind him and
pecked his bare heel. But Jacks ;mpel IT,
hence was punished then and there. For
the man came down on one of the crows
claws and injured it quite severely. Now,
when that man appears, Jack hobbies out
