The Political Pot Boiling.

l Politicians will make things lively
up to the election in November next.
There are people who deplore the COM
mencemcnt of new season of political
agitation, but, after all, the effect is
wholesome upon our national life.
Anything is better than stagnation.
There is an impression that presiden-
tial years give bad business results,
but, on the contrary, it has been proved
that the years in which we have elect
ed our chief magistrates have been
noted for activity in general trade.
Elections have their educational uses
The discussions incident to the antag-
onisms of parties enlightened the mass
of our population on questions vital
to the interests of the country. The
nomination of James G.. Blaine as the
candidate of the republican party was
a very significant circumstance. Here.
tofore in the history of our country,
the great historic parties have gener-
ally chosen secondrate men, whose
views on burning" questions were
unknown; but Mr.. Blaine is no dark
horse" He is cOnfesSedly n man OF
marked ability, who has nothing to
conceal. Indeed, it is charged against
him that he will be an unsafe man. be-
cause OF his fearlessness and audacity
His nomination, therefore, would seem
to indicate that the American people
are willing to try the experiment of
putting their strongest men in nomina-
ton for the presidential chair. DEM

The Boy and the Bag.

There are few sights more suooes-
tive of hopeful patience than that of a
boy sitting on q bag of wheat that has
fallen from his horse. He starts to
mill joyously. The great event in the
life of a young country boy is TO be
entrusted with milling expedition.
He sleeps very little the night before
tho journey, SO active is his mind con-
cerning the prospective trip. His
father helps him on the horse, and he
sits on the bag as proud of his position
as king is of his throne. Every
object along the lovely road interests
him. He plucks the blooms from the
dog-wood, and almost falls off when
the horse reaches around to bite him
self. He rides into the creek to let
the horse drink, and spits at the
minnows that swim around. After he
goes up the bank on the opposite side
ofthe stream, and pursues his course
along the road, he notices with alarm
than the bag is slipping to one side.
he sits still further over to make the
bag balance, but yet he is not satisfied,
for it keeps on slipping to one side,
and at last it falls off. He can not
restrain his tears, and though he knows
that he cannot lift one end, vet he tugs
at the bag. The old horse snorts,
aibbles the grass and lashes the boy
across the eyes with his tail. Whoa,
you old fool!'' and the disconsolate
little fellow weeps afresh. He cannot
leave the bag, fearful that some one
will steal it. He must wait the tardy
coming of passer-by. He hears the
sound OF hoofs and he listens intently.
while the swelling buds of his hope
burst into full bloom. He is doomed
to disappointment, for the horse has
no rider. Thunder rumbles in the
distance and he will get wet. At last
he sees an old negro coming along.
His heart beats high with hope. The
old negro steps aside and takes by
path. The boy shouts. The old negro
does not hear him. Another hour.
that seems an age, draws itself along
He hears a wagon. He is almost wild
with joy. The driver, though surly
fellow, lifts the bag up, and the boy,
happy and thankful, is rescued just at
a time when he does not think that he
could stand it moment longer

A Greek Olive-Oil Factory.

From the churches our host took us
to inspect an olive-oil factory of which
there are several in Pyrghi, so that the
stream which waters the village is
brown with Olive-juice, like water
tinged by peat in an Irish bog. Here
they use no machinery or modern APP
pliances in pressing the oil, merely the
old primitive wooden press. Women,
or sometimes mules, walk round and
round revolving a wheel which crushes
the olives; in this condition they put
them into sacks and then into that
''black-faced heifer which devours oak
wood as the ChiOtes, in their figura-
tive way, are wont to describe their
ovens. The sacks are then placed one
over the other in the press, and two
men turn a post which pulls rope,
which draws a stick, which tightens
the press, and the oil oozes into the
receptacle prepared for it, with water
inside. The oil and water of course do
not amalgamate, the dregs sink to the
bottom, and the pure oil flows into jars
prepared for it.
1t is impo. sible to realize the affec-
ton people have for olives in 4 purely
OlivegrOwing country. "An olive with
kernel gives a boot to u man." is
true adage with them. 1t is the prin-
cipal fattening and sustaining food in
a country where hardly any meat is
eaten. 1t takes the place of the potat,
in Ireland, and on the olive crop de-
pends the welfare of many. An olive
yard is presented to the church by way
OF glebe, and the peasants collect on a
stated day to gather these sacred olives
which they buy from the church, and
always at the highest market value

BunYan In London.

In his later days Bunyan's figure
was tolerably familiar in London He
preached regularly in Southwark-in
an open space near the Falcon-and
people thronged to hear him, so that
he could count upon regular congre-
cation Of some five hundred souls.
John Wesley's father heard him preach
on Newington green. That he had
many friends in London is evident
from the number of people who at
tended his funeral and from the hand
some tomb that soon after his death
was built over his grave. Twenty or
thirty years ago this tomb, which had
fallen into decay, was restored but has
already assumed a time-worn, wealth
er-beaten appearance. Stone probably
perishes more quickly in IA London at
mosphere than under any ether condi-
tions, and, looking round at the head
stones and tombs, 1T is evident that at the
end of fifty years or so inscriptions,
unless renewed in the meantime, are
mostly illegible, while in country
church-yards epitaphs of the last
century er even earlier dates are often
easily to be deciphered. -AH the Year

no reason why the irritation should be

A REMEDY for the cholera, which it
is said was the result of many expert
ments made by DIR. Hahnemann, the
founder of homeopathy, consist of vera
trum albumen, in five-minute doses of
eight or ten globules each, in water.
No water or other drink is to be al
lowed. Vomiting is to be checked by
frequent solutions of three to five
drops of spirits of camphor, and ar
senicum metalicum albumen is to be
used in like quantities should the body
