Eight Miles OF Frogs.

san Jose (Cal) Herald.
Tom Barry yesterday morning took a
ride to Almaden, and when just past the
Sycamore Grove Exchange he saw some
thing that made his eyes open in won
derment, and for a long time could not
credit his senses, for the road was per-
fectly lined with frogs, averaging the size
of large cherry He supposed that
they would last only for a little way, but
for eight miles he saw nothing but frogs,
and, to make SIRE that he was not dream
ing. got out Of his wagon, caught q whole
box full and brought them to town to
prove the credibility of his story. He
SAYS that there were millions upon mil
lions of them, and where they all came
from no one can tell.

THE PARSEE.

Alone In prayer the Parsee knelt
The golden sun before,
80 source of endless life" he cried,
THE only 1 adore.
The sun dropped down In the glowing West,
And evening yelled the sky;
He Wept, Il was dece1Ved-the light
OF God can never die"
To silver moon and starry host
The Parsee raised his heart
eye are the gods of heaven and earth,
Your light shall ne'er depart
The morning red the stars dissolved,
The moon sank out of sight,
And day came softly Orth 70 I'LL
The spaces of the night.
These are not gods: they wax and Wane
They are but masks of Thee;
They hide the beauty Of that face
No mortal eye may See"

The MATCH Trade.

Philadelphia Press.
The domestic match trade is suffering
from the effects of foreign competition.
When the internal tax on matches was
removed the manufacturers were left
without adequate protection. This seems
ike a singular statement, but it Is never
theless true, the internal revenue tax
serving to discourage impOrtations, be-
cause 1t compelled importers to invest
large sums Of money for stamps before
they could place their wares in the
market. The result was an in
crease of importation from S2,234
worth in 1882 to upward Of $780,
600 in 1888. A further result is
the closing for an indefinite period of
the largest Philadelphia match factory,
and scores of idle mechanics. An appeal
to Congress for higher duties viii proba-
bly, be Intellectual, as the match manu-
facturers invited popular disapproval by
their course in keeping prices exorbitant-
" high when they had command Of the
trade.

AN EYE TO BUSINESS.

My courage strengthened as I gaZed;
The words came rushing to my lips,
The old. old tale of love was told,
She glanced down at her finger tips.
And then she spoke in accents low,
While bushes red sufused her cheek,

ed language, [dialectsl, &C., which caused
much merriment among his audience, after
which he came to deformed logic, which he
maintained, was simply the pun and conun-
drum. The pun and conundrum, he said,
are simply the ambiguous middle-term in the
syllogism. To illustrate he took this conun-
drum and then changed it: "Why is Fred.
Douglass very wicked manp Because he is
supported by black legs" Laughter. Now
put the conundrun into syllogism, and it
will read thus:
FIRST premise-Any man supported by
black legs must be very wicked.
Second premise-Fred. Douglass il sup
ported entirely by black legs.
Observation-Disclosures Fred. Douglass
must be a very wicked man. Applause.
The speaker now changed the following
syllogism in the conundrum;
First premise-Any thing whose sun never
sets is immortal.
Second premise-A hens son never sets
Concusion-Therefore hen is immortal
Or to put it right into the conundrum:
Why is hen iminortalY
Because her son never sets.

Reports from all parts of the country
indicate that the utmost harmony prevails III
the ranks of the republican party. There
are no stalwarts, no half breeds no factions
whatever, but all are ready to work together
for the defeat of the common enemy. There
is but little room to doubt that the mex,
National Republican convention will have
the pleasing duty to perform of naming the
next President and Vice President of this
nation.

In another column of this paper will be
found call for caucus sof the republican
electors of this village to nominate officers
TO be voted for at the corporation election
on the I'd of March next. 1t is but ga few
weaks until the spring election. Let all
republicans turn ont to the caucus and see
that none but good men are nominated, and
then stand by them and give them the full
vote of the party. Any republican who neg
lects to attend the caucuses and lend his aid
in the nomination of the ticket ought not
to kick at the result of Others work.

moulded by virtue and morality. Intoxica-
ton can never be the basis of character for
the subjects of free government. II is the
cornerstone of anarchy, vice, poverty and
despair. Would we stab the life of our ma
ton? We can effectually do il by intern
perance which destroys the title-deeds of
our estate, the safety of our lives, the tran
squility of our streets, the virtue of our citi-
zens, brutalizes mankind, and readily
makes them the tool of intriguing corrupt
leaders. This temperance reformation is
marshaled against such vice, which eolipses
the brightness of the bar, the glory Of the
pulpit, the dignity of the sacred ermine, the
intelligence of the statesman and the hope
and blessing of the family. The Anglo
Saxon race seems to demand stimulants of
food and drink. Probably the temptation,
peculiar to this race, arises from the colder eli
mate which itinhabits. Intelligence and virtue
must be more extensively cultivated and
diffused, that inventive genius and energy
may be further glorfied, in warding of the
evils of unnatural stimulants and for the
encouragement of new and more exalted
blessings amongst men. To this end the w
@. Il. u. has been organized in Paw Paw
with seventy-seven names of earnest Christ
ians for the diffusion of healthy temper
ance sentiment, and deepening sense of
personal responsibility in the work of friends
who may differ from them. All such should
allow their ideas to grow. We have prohibi.
tionists, 1. o. G.. Templars, Juvenile Temp
lars, the w. G. II. U. and the Citizens
League. Now let us encourage by ''God
Speed" by prayer and earnest work, every
movement, as they are all looking for the
same final result. Let unity and co-opera
| ton prevail and all temperance enterprises
hail each other as ifellow-workers, that the
end 30 fervently prayed for may be hastily
| attained.

4 meeting of the Republican County Com
nittee was held in this village on Friday
last, at which there were present, not only
the entire committee, but also a number of
representative republicans from various por-
tons of the county, fifteen townships being
represented. The prevailing opinion seemed
to be that the outlook for republican sue
cess in the county, at both the spring and
fall elections, was extremely favorable. The
object of the meeting was, mainly, to estab-
hsh fair understanding between the County
Committee and the local committees and
other leading republicans,Ias to theEmanner

We are indebted to Hon. j. G. Burrowa
for complete set of the report of the Chief
of Engineers for 1882. This was the doc
un1ent upon which was founded the "river

ocrats shouted "steal" during the last cam
paign, until they were hoarse. BY the way,
we shall hear no such cry from that party
about stealing, when the democratic house

heretofore done.

The democratic party complains bitterly
of the present tariff legislation of the coun-
try, alleging that it is incongruous, ill-consid-
cred and unequal in the burthens which it
Imposes. Yet the Morrison tariff bill pro-
poses to leave in existence just the same
system, making "a horizontal reduction OF
twenty per cent. If the present tariff sys-
tenn is unequal and unjust in its operation,
the proposed remedy is equally 30.

The spring elections will be held in the
course of few weeks. Let republicans see
TO it that none but good men are placed on
their township tickets and then use every
legitimate means to secure their election. A
great majority of the townships of this
county are republican in sentiment, and il
republican voters attend the polls as they
ought, victory is certain. Success at the
April elections will enable the party to enter
on the State and National campaign with
the prestige of victory, and will be of the
utmost advantage and Importance. Remem.

rhs valus OF Bgss - NutrIment.
From the Marlboro. Mass, Farmers Compan-
ton.
Eggs are usually esteemed expensive
diet, In fact luxury which only the rich
or well-to do can afford to use. But 1t is
o mistake when we consider their food
value, their nourishipg qualities. Eggs,
like milk. contain every element necessary
for the development of the perfect animal.
This IL proved by the fact that bones,
muscles, blood, feathers, everything in
fact that makes the fully formed chicken
is contained in the yolk and white of an
egg. Indeed, there is no moro concentra.
ted or nourishing food than eggs. The
alb1men, oil and saline matter are just in
the right proportion for sustaining animal
life. Ii, therefore, we eat to obtain
strength, we will find that two OF three
eggs properly cooked will afford more
nourishment than piece of meat of equal
market value. When we come to compare
the cost of producing eggs and pork we
find 1t costs nearly twice as much to pro
duce pound of pork as il does a pound
of eggs, and taking into account the nu
trilive value OF each and the comparative
prices OF the two on an average, tho pork
Is three times as costly food as eggs, and
certainly much less wholesome.
