WHAT A LESSON

Blaine is represented as being proud and
sensitive man. If there be any truth in the
report it must be calling and humiiating TO
him to knew that the best men in the Re-
publican party are refusing TO sustain him,
from the fact that they do not think his rec
ord through public life is of such charac-
ter as TO warrant their support. That he is
a man Of splendid ability, intellectually fit
ted to fill any position, they all admit; but
when his official acts are examined they
turn from the man exclaiming, he repre-
sents only the worst element of the party,
and we cannot and will not support him.
Sufficient time has elapsed to discover that
not single Independent paper throughout
the country supports him, while those of
his party who are doing so arc not showing
any decided enthusiasm Doubtless he has
many times wished that he had never writ
ten the Mulligan letters, that he had not
used his high official position in order tn ad :
vance his private fortune.
What a sad and bitter lesson his career
demonstrates 10 the younger generation of
public menl Centuries ago 1t was written,
Whatsoever man soweth that shall he
reap" and the truth of this divine decara-
tion is witnessed every day in the operations
of society. The trickster, the demsgogue,
and the dishonest man will certainly be
overtaksn and made TO pay the penalty for
the wrong and deception which he has prac-
ticed towards his fellow man or upon society
at large

POOR KEIFERy

Hon. ]. Warren Keller, Speaker of the
late Republican House of Representatives,
has been defeated for denomination To
Congress. Poor man He owes his fall not
so much TO his venality and lack of good
character MS TO his weak intellect and poverty
Of resources. Ii he had been man of streng
mind, individuality and natural shrewdness,
he would not have been relegated to a dis.
graceful retirement.
There are numbers of public men con
victed out Of their own mouth of far more
Infamous wrongs than poor Keller was ever
charged with, who, backed by subservient
party, literally forced their way back to
place and power by reason Of sheer eff
frontry and cheek, as in the case of Jas. q.
Blaine, the Republican, candidate for Presi-
dent. Poor Keller, it appears, hal neither
ability, brilliancy nor cheek and he has gone
down like Il common offender. IL he had
the nerve and audacity as in the case of
Blaine with the Mulligan letters on the
floor Of the House of Representatives, he
would not have been defeated the other day
at the primaries. The great rogues who
still flourish do 50 because Of their rhinoce-
ros hides, their utter disregard Of public
opinion, their playful assurance and the
belief that partisanship will overlook any
and everything in leader who is brilliant
and magnetic. Poor Keller was defeated
because he crept from Congress TO his con-
stituents like dog with his tail cut off.
Poor Keller, do net be discouraged at the
seeming hardness Of your fate, be brilliant
and magnetic II you are dull and stupid,
and remember that there are verse men
than you in public life who are to-day ask
ing the highest honors that the American
people can bestow. If they are sustained,
there is room for your political resurrection.

The demand for my fertilizers has increased
from year to year, until from the manufacture
and sale Of q few hundred tons in 1870, it
now amounts to many thousands of tons man
ufactured and sold annually. deem this the
most substantial proof of the estimation in
which my fertilizers stand with the largest
and most practical farmers of the country. In
every section where my fertilizers have ever
been introduced the demand has increased
steadily from year to year, new territory is
opened up each year, and wherever introduced
never fails to gain friends, who, when they
have tried it alongside of any Of the many
brands of fertilizers now placed upon the
market, decide that the best is the cheapes, in
the end, and buy regularly from year to year.
need only assure my customers that each
brand of my fertilizers is made of the same
materials which have been used for years, and
that they are prepared in the usual way and
under my personal supervision.
| ask again liberal share OF your patron
age. For the present season publish no GER
tfcates, preferng thatmy fertilizers should

Dear Sir: The Pennsylvania Grain Drill

fertilizer distributor that ever saw II neither
skips nor punches, but sows evenly and uni
formly all the time, whether the phosphate
be dry or sticky, while the grain and grass
seed attachments are surpassed by none that
have ever seen. 1t is a positive foice-feed in
every department. 1t neither gums nor chokes
in sowing wet or lumpy phosphate. In short,
can not say too much in It's praise.

THE city of New York is exposed to the
danger of becoming the recipient of .nu-
merous presents Of statues, from foreign
lands, and Gotham seems to have
acquired an evil reputation in the matter
of furnishing pedestals for them. Vene-
zuela has presented that metropolis with
a statue of General Simon Bolivar, the
Liberator, to- be erected in Central Park;
and Mr.. Soteldo, the Yenezuelen minister,

that there are not enough offices
to go around conveniently among

exempiifying itself is that wrongs upon

consists in the outs" not possessing the
offices which the ''ins' have filed and are

administration dodge directed against the
S~talwarts, of whom Arthur is regarded as
the great fountain head. Jim Blaine and
his friends are engineering the independ-

throw enough sand into the eyes of the
people to blind them completely as to the
little game which is being put up to ad-
vance half-breed interests. There are
wheels within wheels, but the same are

SEARCHING FOR A REBEL FLAG.
How n Confederate Girl Guarded Her
Banner from the Yankee Soldiers.

IA. o. Marshall in ARMY Life."1
We laid over at Jefferson City a few days.
These delays became necessary TO let our sup
plies be brought up, The roads were so bad
that our wagon trains had bard work to get
through.
The rebels had made arrangements 10 raise
a grand libsrty pole at this place. The pole,
an elegant piece of timber, had been selected
and dressed with much care, and was on tho
ground ready to be erected. But tho
approach OF the Union troops had alarmed
the rebels 30 that they had skipped away
leaving their liberty pole lying like a stick OF
common timber on the ground. Finding
1t thus we concluded to proceed with tho
good work. Our soldiers promptly and
merrily erected the flagstaff, and with n
brass band playing n loyal national tune,
dedicated the liberty pole for our secosh
brethren by running to its top n good Union
dag, whore it waved for the balance of the
day, high over their heads and in sight
OF all the people Of the town.
tn Johnny Rebs had not only run awny.
leaving their flagstaff in the dust, but had
gone in such hot haste that the Confederate
dag which was to wave upon 1t, n large one
already made and at hand. had also been
left behind. The fact soon became known
to our soldiers Now for the flag. There is
nothing soldiers will attempt with "A more
uNely OshI tnhu 10 capture an enemy'S nag.
To tell them where one is to DO found is like
putting a jealous hunter upon n fresh deer
track. Tho location Of the flag was soon
lenrned-too well learned. Its mado
its capture impossible-that is, impossible TO
gallant soldiers like those Of our army.
The house containing the flag was soon
known. As the search for it was being
made, n little colored girl, a little pickaninny,
so small that she ran around among the men
without attracting any attention, and who
probably thought that it would be huge fun
To see the rebel flag captured, privately gave
Information whore 1t was, by slyly lifting up
the corner of the dress OF II young lady Of tile
house. It was at once seen that the young
womHn-had extemporized the rebel flag into
mn under-garment and was wearing 1t as part
OF her under. clothing. The location Of the
flag was soon whispered around and the
soldiers promptly came away, leaving tho
flag in triumph to wave around the bravo
but disloyal maid.
Had the flag been guarded by a thousand
armed men it would nave been brought
away. As it was, l do not believe there was
one soldier in our army who desired to have
1t taken. II the young woman had known
that the Yankee soldiers had discovered its
hiding place, knowing as she did how anx.
ious they were TO capture a rebel flag, she
would undoubtedly have tainted on the spot
As 1t was our soldiers came away so quietly
that she f~lattered herself with the idea that
