Rs1~ Whatever the Republicans Oh
other States may do, those of Massa-
chusetts can assuredly do no less than
give the nomination their usual loyal
support. Nor is it to be
doubted that when the Republicans Of
this State come to view the Chicago
nomination in all its aspects, they will
find it an appeal to that New England
pride which they share in common
with their brethren in Maine. For tho
first time in its history, the Republican
party has nominated New Englander
for the chief magistracy of the Nation,
and, for the first time in three decades,
an opportunity offers to place an East
ern statesman in the chair of Washing
ton. n.--BoSton 1racetier (Rep)

BaS'There is no doubt that this will
ibe the liveliest Presidential campaign
the country has ever witnessed. What
ever else may be said of Mr.. Blaine. he
has pre-eminently the characteristics of
ia personal leader, great personal mag

He can always be depended upon to do
the thing that is least expected, that is
most startling. we may expect that
under his leadership, the campaign will
prove constant series of surprises. -

Feeding their Dead.

Recently hacks and express wag-
ons loaded with Cinnamon, roast
pigs, etc, commenced to pour across
the Stark street ferry from Portland,
Oregon, on their way to Lone Fir
Cemetery to observe the religious
ceremony commonly called feeding
the dead. A reporter of this paper,
who visited the cemetery during the
afternoon, found a large number Of
Cinnamon engaged in this pious du-
ty. The roast pigs and chickens
were placed around on the ground
among the graves of the Chinese,
and at the head of nearly every
grave candies We're burning. From
the best information to be obtained
in regard to this custom it seems
that the food is intended as a sort
of propitiatory offering to the Chinese
devils. The offerings varied accor-
ding 10 the habits and tastes of the
graves. At the grave of one his
friend, after digging holes in the
hard ground with his knife, stuck
up two candles. and then laid out
several sets of chop sticks and as
many small cups, which he filed
with wine; then be placed some
bowls of rice and a package of ciga-
rettes aud a small vessel of opium.
Then he made several bowls aid
genuhections, as if inviting his dead
friend OF the other party to set to.
A number of fires were burning in
the vicinity, and on these were plac-
ed pieces of paper with squares OF
imitation gold leaf pasted on them
representing gold coiE, and smaller
squares punched full Of holes repre-
sented the brass cash. which coin
has a hole in the centre. Some
burned small garments made OF pa
per, and thus furnished a new suit
to their deceased friends at small
cost. After the pigs and chickens
had heen displayed long enough to
give the devil time to satisfy him
self they were carefully replaced in
the wagon and brought back to
town.

A Midnight Shot.

LANCASTER. Nov. 6.-Information
of a very mysterious affair has just
reached this city. On Saturday
night Calvin Davis, well-known
citizen of East Earl township, this
county, went with two companions
to Red Well to serenade a friend.
As they were returning at midnight
they encountered a fence that bad
been removed from its position and
placed across the road. Dismount-
ing, they saw three men in a field
near by, and as Mr.. Davis went for
ward to ascertain what it meant, one
of the men in the field discharged a
gun at him, the contents entering
his legs. The assailants then fed,
and the companions of Mr.. Davis,
removing the obstruction On the road
and assisting him into the wagon,
drove home, where medical aid was
sought. 1t is believed that the as-
sailants were members of the Welsh
Mountain gang of outlaws.

An English Dairy School.

A dairy school was recently open
ed at Lord Vernon's butter and
cheese factory at Sunbury. England.
Mr.. Henry NJ. Jenkins, Secretary
of the Royal Agricultural Society,
delivered an address, in which,
among other things, he said that all
the practical dairy work will be
done by hal-past twelve, with the
exception of the evenings milking,
and in the afternoon it is expected
that a portion of the time of each
pupil will be devoted to writing out
a record Of the mornings proceed
ings in the par Of the dairy to
which she is attached. In order
that the pupils NAV learn properly
the work Of each department of the
dairy, it has been divided into three
sections, as follows: 1. Office work
azd book keeping 2. Butter max
ing; 3. Cheese making. Each pu-
pill will, as a rule, be kept for week
at time in each of these three Sec
tions, and will follow round in strict
rotation. Concerning the subject
How to Learn" Mr.. Jenkins said
that in order to understand what to
do and how to do it, pupils must
concentrate their attention on what
Is shown them, as well as what is
told them. In dairy work. all the
senses should be constantly brought
into requisi;ion. The butter-maker
learns when to stop churning by the
sense of hearing. The sense Of smell
is doubtless the most necessary of all
in dairy, and is chiefly employed
in finding out what ought to exist.
IL Is unnecessary to speak of the
sense Of taste, particularly in enab-
ling you to judge of the quality of
your products. The sense Of feeling
has, 10 large extent, been super
seded by the Thermometer; but the
delicate touch of the experienced
dairy-woman enables her to Judge Of
the progress and finish of number
Of dairy operations in which the
question of temperature does not
find place. The speaker would
also mention the sense Of beauty, be-
cause it enables you to place your
products attractively before your
customers.
Mr.. Jenkins had great faith il the
system of learning by taking notes,
because writing down a fact impress
es it on the memory. Garry a note
book with you, and take notes of
definite facts, and more especially
Of actual figures, and every after
noon write out carefully and fully
the whole Of the notes which
you have taken during the
day, together with your recollection
Of what has been explained to you
on both the practice and theory Of
the DAYS proceedings.-Country

the Model Husband at work.

The Doodlebugs are going out o.
town. They are fastening to the
train. Mr.. DoodlebUg is getting
them off. He is full of business, as
becomes the head of the family.
Here, Emeline, take this little
valise and the baby and go on. I'll
catch up to you before you get TO
the station. Hold on, I'll just hook
this hat-box on your fingers. There
now, that1l carry nicely; got the
baby all right? Tommy, you and
Billy and little sister run along with
mother-great heavens, Emeline,
don't let that child run across the
street alone; take hold of his hand,
can't you? Tommy, come back
and get this bag of lemons! Eme-
Incl You've forgotten the lunch
basket. Billy, run here quick and
take this lunch basket to your
mother Now, Emeline, do hurry,
or you'll miss the train. Never
mind the rest of the things; III car
ry them"
Four minutes after Mrs. Emeline
reaches the station, having wrestled
all the way with a baby, three child
ren and four packages, Mr.. Doodle
bug arrives, carrying a rattan cane
weighing four ounces. He is so
tired he has to go into the smoking
car and sleep all the way to the
next station.
The Doodlebugs? Imaginary
people? Not by a long chalk, my
dear sir. They live right here in
Burlington, and everybody knows
them. No, l don't know that he is
considered much more selfish than
some of his neighbors. Mrs. Doodle
bug thinks he is a model husband.
Yes, | have heard some of her
neighbors say that she is fool.
Bnt she isn't, | don't think. She is
a woman, and consequently loves
her husband too well to club him
with coupling pin every once in
while for his own good. She would
carry more things for him if she
had more arms.

The Reward OF I>oIiteness

"Will you be kind enough, sir, to
hold this ram for me while / open
this gate? 1t is fastened on the in
side and | must climb over.
This modest request was made by
a man VINO was standing at a gate
on a lonely road running out OF
New Dorp, Staten Island, and 1t
was addressed to a stalwart sailor
who had Just come up. The only
other object visible on the long,
straight road was the large black
ram, whose massive crooked horns
were being held BY the man as the
two stood quite still in front OF the
gate.
why, sartainly, shipmate," said
the obliging tar, as he seized the big
horns and relieved the first holder.
The latter climbed quickly over
the gate.
Il thank you very much, he
said when he got to the other side.
You will be surprised to hear that
| never saw that ram before to-day.
The brute attacked me about half
an hour ago, and We have been tus-
sling ever since. As long as you
stand before him holding his horns
firmly he can't hurt you. Good
bye, Ihope you will be as lucky
in getting away from him as | have
been.
The New Dorp man when telling
his story neglected to repeat the
sailors reply. He did not know
what became of him.

BrRCHBRooK MILL.

A noteless stream the Birchbrook runs
Beneath its leaning trees
That low, soft ripple is its own,
That dull roar is the seas.
0fhuman signs It sees alone
The distant church spires tip,
And, ghostlike, on blank ofgray,
The white sail of ship.
No more a toiler at the wheel,
1t wanders at its will
Nor dam nor pond is left'to tell
Where once was Birchbrook Mill.
The timbers ofthat mill have fed
Long since farmers fires
His doorsteps are the stones that ground
The harvest of his sires.
Man trespassed here but nature lost
No right of her domain;
She waited, and she brought the old
Wild beauty back again.
By day the sunlight through the leaves
Falls on its moist. green sod.
And wakes the violet bloom of spring
And autumn's golden rod.
Its birches WHISPERED to the wind,
The swallow dips her wings
In the cool spray, and on its banks
The gray song sparrow sings.
