Senator Sabin, chairman of the
republican national committee, re-
Gently unbosomed himself to a re-
porter in Chicago. He thinks that
public sentiment, as indicated in the
spring elections all over the country,
is opposed to any change in govern
mental affairs. Senator Sabin is re-
puted to be worth over 100000,
and has an annual income of over
$2,50,0000 from the various enter
prises with which he is connected.
The policy of favoring monop-
olies, which has all along been
pursued by the republican party,
has bestowed wealth and position
upon him and he is 10th to believe
that the people are opposed to that
policy, and rejects the evidences that
are to be seen on every hand that
the republican party and the mo-
nopolies which it fosters, must 60.
In 1882 it was difficult for republi-
cans generally to believe that public
sentiment favored a change in gov
ornamental affairs. If we mistake
not the sound, tidal wave is now
rising which will completely over
whelm the republican leaders. The
defeat of the republican party in
1882, great as it was, will prove to
have been only prelude to the
final overthrow in 1884.

The Wings OF Insects.

There is nothing more delicate than
the wings of insects They are like
gauze, but they have framework that
makes them quite firm, Just as tho
leaves on the trees arc firm from the
little ribs that are in them.
Those wings are all covered with hair.
You could see it under tho magnifying-
glass, hut not without.
In some small gnatS the hairs spring
from each side of the veins, like butter
flies feathers, or like blossoms on the
twigs in spring time.
Even the wing of q common fly IS
very beautiful. Did YOU ever notice
that if You take 4 butterfly by the wings
a colored dust is all over your tingcrsp
Then the wings are left transparent
where they have been touched. II YOU
should put some of this dust on slip
of glass and examine it You would find
that each particle is little scale of reg
ular form and sometimes most beauti-
fully shaped. But the insect flies just
rs well without the dust.
Besides his regular wings the fly has
others for sails They are all lifted by
a great number of little tough muscles
in his sides. Thus he moves in the air
aud darts away. Before he goes he
''plumes' his wings Just like bird

WELDING THE SPLIT.

The judicial power of the Fifth circuit has
been invoked to attempt welding of the split in
the republican party in 1882 in the Third dis
trict. Judge Clementson calls meeting of the
rival committees to meet March 18th at the Park
hotel in this city and to dissolve themselves into
nothingness. 1t was attempted some time ago;
but it is now thought that the heat of party neces
sity will melt the two committees into oneness OF
mind. To effect such reconciliation the MEN,
beers of the committee should keep up a lively
thinking Of the future and be very forgetful OF
the past No charge is made for this recipe for
harmony Madison Democrat.
The members of the Hazelton
committee will no doubt be very
penitent for having charged the
Reyes men with attempting to in
augurate a system of fraud more
dangerous, because more refined,
than any that ever prevailed even in
South Carolina" and the Reyes men
will be equally penitent for hav-
ing painted Hazelton and bis follow
ers as the blacklist rascals that ever
attempted to run a political cam
paign or obtain an appropriation for
the improvement of the Pecatonica
river. David Atwood, Philo A. Orion,
Calvert Spensley, f. w. Reyes, Geo.
C. Hazelton, Tom. Bainbridge and
J. B. Stickney will all be there, in
tears. The scene will truly be an
affecting one. A call for congress
sional convention will be issued, and
the members will point with pride"
to their past political record and the
record of the grand old republican
party, of which it is their privilege
to be members. The remainder of
the campaign will be devoted to
showing up the sins of the demo-
crafts.

A Strange Story.

A strange story is told in connection
with the sudden death Of DIR. Marion
Sims. When he visited Washington u
few weeks before his dea:h he promised
to return and spend the winter with his
cousin, DIR. Mackey, says a correspond
ent of the Louisville Couyier-JOurnal.
The rooms he was to occupy were pre-
pared for his reception and everything
was in readiness. About three O'clock
in the morning DIR. Mackey awoke
from his sleep and told his wife that he
had just had such a vivid and horrid
dream that he could not dispel the VS.
ion. He dreamed that Dr. Sims stood
by his bedside, with the face of
corpse, and said. over and over again:
James the Fourth is dead" DIR. Sims
was the fourth in his family bearing the
same name, and among relatives called
himself James the Fourth. Finding
that he could not shake off the impress
sioa, Dr. Mackey rose and went down
stairs to his library to sit there and
read. He observed that the clock had
stopped at three, and a superstitious
dread Of evil almost overcame him. He
remained in his library until it was time
10 dress for breakfast, and while at thai
meal q telegram was brought In an

at three o'clock.

Antipater sent company of soldiers

ever, and Demosthenes' three friends
were taken and killed. Demosthenes
himself fled TO an isllnd called
Caiaurea, and hid in . temple of
Neptune there; but one of the Exile
Hunters searched him out and COM
manded him TO go with him to meet
Annpater. Demosthenes said: Only
wait awhile till l have sent my last
orders to my family So he went back
TO the inner part of the temple and
sat down to write. He put his pen in
his mouth and bit it (as he often did
before writing) and then covered his
head, which he bent down. The sol
diers who stood by called him cow

put off the time of his death. But as
they were leading him ont of the tenn
pie he fell by the altar and died. He
had poisoned himself from the quill
when he appeared to be biting his

so he WAS not a good man after
all, said Nellie with grave face.
He showed himself very weak and
wicked At last, said grandfather. He
had much better have gone to Antipater
and let him inflict whatever punishment
he chose upon him. But l did not
mean to hold up DemoSthenes' life as \

how much patience and perseverance,

Hon. Joseph Blackburn, senator
elect from Kentucky, has been tell
ing some of the inside history of
electoral commission times as relat-
cd to him by Gen. Garfield, and the
newspaper correspondents getting
hold of it, have given it wide spread
circulation, causing quite a ripple OF
excitement. The story is, in short,
that the republican leaders contem-
plated stationing soldiers in the base
ment of the capitol on the day of the
final count, in March, 1877, to arrest
the democratic leaders if they offered
persistent opposition. This ought
not to cause any great surprise or
excitement. The story Of the fraud
ulent count which has gone down to
history is so black that no inside
history can make it any blacker.
The men who thwarted the will OF
the people by the Inauguration of
Hayes are just as blameworthy and
struck just as cruel a blow at civil
liberty as though they had to resort
t. force of arms to carry their point.

The pleuro-pneumonia bill before
congress is attracting considerable
attention. The object of the bill is
to prevent the spread of cattle dis
eases and the shipment of diseased
animals, and was drawn by a COM
mittee appointed for that purpose
by the convention of cattle raisers
and farmers which met in Chicago
last fall during the holding of the
fat stock show. 1t receives the
hearty support of cattle breeders
throughout the country, excepting
those who live in alleged infected
districts and think that they will be
materially injured by its passage.
1t is also meeting with unexpected
opposition from live stock brokers
in Chicago and elsewhere. There is no
