YEs-lT is A HuMRUG.

We published lately letter from cor
respondent which closed with "The cry
of the good old Democrats times is
humbug.' Our correspondent had briefly,
but significantly, contrasted wages at this
time with wages in ''the good old Dem
ocratic times" and also production then
and now. His comparison related to the
manufacture of carpets. Under the last
Democratic administration Philadelphia
produced carpets to the value of about
three million dollars annually. Last year
we produced carpets to the value of about
twenty-three millions. The wages paid
to weavers at that former period enabled
them to earn about $500 year. Our
correspondent wants to know il 1t is Of
those good old Democratic times that the
cry is made. 1t certainly is, for wages
were as good under the administration Of
Mr.. Buchanan as they were under any
Democratic administration, fairly aver
aged. The cry, however, means exactly
nothing, save the voicing of discomfort
which arises out Of the present peculiar
hardship. Men who work earn much
more at this time than they ever earned
under Democratic rule, and dollar will
purchase more of the staples than it did
then. If our correspondent wants to
know what is the matter, he will have to
take broad survey of the field and mark
how human wants have increased during
the last quarter of a century. The man
who could support family on $500 a
year now finds it difficult to get along on
5000. He has been earning much more
and spending much more than he did in
''the good old Democratic times He
wears better clothes, he has moro gala
days, he gives his children better oppor-
tunities to educate themselves, he fur
nishes his home better, aud is, in most re-
spects, an altered being, The English
say the American workingmen are spoil
ed. Under Democratic rule they earned
just about as much as English workers
earn in these days, but rather more than
those workers earned twenty-five years
ago. We can only hope that our workers
may never have to endure the hardship of
returning to free-trade basis, but If that
happens, the people cannot complain, be-
cause they have actually recalled the
Democratic party to power, aud must
submit to the consequences. The Repub-
licans will probably regain control of the
House in 1886, and any tinkering of the
tariff can then be prevented. Meantime
the people must grin and bear it.-Phila-
delphia NORTH american.

day sights, and felt the in
spiration of the holiday spirit.
The store began to put on a
holiday appearance as soon
as the gift-goods came.
A part of the store has
come to be known as the
gift-quarter, because of the
glitter of gifts there for
several weeks before the
giving time 1t is full Of the
light of silver and gold and
brass and bronze and spelter
and glass, made even more
brilliant with leather and
plush and wood.
Gifts at Christmas by no
means stop at these gorgeous
things. If you look beneath
the surface, even under the
glitter of Paris, Berlin, and
Vienna bric-a-brac, you will
see provision for a far more
serious giving.
Look at the silk and dress
goods quarter, which puts a
double girdle almost around
the store. 1t is larger and
fuller of things and people.
Multitudes satisfy the giving
propensity with the stuff for
a dress.
Look at upholstery. The
giving-time suggests new
curtains, cover for lounge,
lounge itself, or whatever
may be wanting at home,
The southeast corner is full
of people; and never were
the stuffs of upholstery SO
abundant.
Look at laces. This dainty
merchandise of little weight
and bulk is commonly kept
in a pleasant out-of-the-way
corner. A little room is
enough. But SO many peo-
pie are here and people
must have room. Those
rows of people southwest of
the centre, a hundred at once,
are looking at laces. Gifts
of laces are rather rare, per-
haps; but a million or two of
people are coming. All that
room is needed.
Look at linens, handker-
chiefs, blankets, things to
make the bed pretty as well
as warm, down quilts, and
quilts not down. That whole
southwest corner IS rich in
more than merchandise it is
rich in rare honesty of linen.
No cotton for linen there.
How many handkerchief
stocks in all America do you
think, are free of cotton ?
How many in all the world
50 rich in linen? One would
think there had been a famine
of handkerchiefs. Only
Christmas is coming; and
people know that where a
quarter goes furthest an
eagle is safest. Skip blankets
if you like; but not those
quilted and tufted quilts of
chintz, sateen or silk and
down. Winter is coming as
well as Christmas. Under
that imponderable down
what lightsome dreams may
lift the burden off the COM
Portable sleeper!
If we mention glass and
china, think you only of what
enriches the snowy linen OF
the table ? Walk a mile or
two about those islands OF
beauty in the northwest cor
ner yonder, above and below.
If a gift must be useless, here
are plenty. If useful, plenty,
If rich and beautiful beyond

better than clay?

Those who believe that Providence
sometimes inflicts instant and summary
punishment upon men whose blasphemy
becomes too horrible and pernicious, have
lately had their belief strengthened by
several instances. 1t was only the other
day that man, noted for his blasphemy,
was making mockery of the Sacrament
of the Communion, at Philadelphia. In
the midst Of it his steps were arrested, he
tottered, his knees gave way and falling
to the floor he expired immediately. An
other case is reported of man who met
the slightest tribes with imprecations,
such as appalled, all who heard him.
While superin.ending force of men, an
accident threw him into q towering pas
sion. Words more blasphemous than
ever uttered before rolled from his fluent
tongue. Suddenly the impious declara-
tions ceased and he fell face downwards,
unable to move mrscle. After thirty
minutes prostiation he partially recover
ed, but his speech was entirely gone.

Obituary,


Nina Haugner died on the % inst.
in River Falls. When she was but a
child her father moved to this country
in hopes of regaining his falling
health, but was disappointed and died
in 1852. The mother was left with
six children to endure trials and at.
fiictions, such as few are called to
bear. In the short space OF three
months four of those children were
suddenly removed by death. Nina,
the last of the four, was a young
woman of rare worth and exhalted
christian character. OF frail and
delicate nature she yet bore up under
her severe trials with heroic fortitude,
and when the hand of disease took
hold of her she was strongly impress
ed with the idea that she would not
recover, and so it proved, for in few
days her sufferings were ended.
1t is a great comfort to the bereav-
ed family to know how much atten-
ton and sympathy was shown to Nina
in her last sickness. Especially do
they remember with gratitude the
kindness of Prof. Thayer and his wife,
who took her to their own house and
cared for her with all the tender So
licitude of parents, nor do they forget
the generosity of DR.. Gould whose
professional services were rendered
gratutiously through all those days
and nights of pain and suffering.

On Sunday, the 3rd inst, were held

man Field, Esq, the ceremonies be-

Bushnell, of this city, on which oc-
casion he delivered an eloquent dis
course to a crowded congregation of
mourners and friends.
The death of LIZ. Field occurred on
the 1st. He had been confined to his
house for about three months with
paralysis, but was, up to July Goth,
gradually gaining in strength and the
use of his limbs, at which time he ex-
perienced second slight stroke and
was left in a weakened condition,
from which medical skill and the
closest attention were unequal to the
task of creating reaction.
In the death of Mr.. Field the com.
munity has lost one of its best, as well
as oldest citizens. He came to this
place from New York in the year 1854,
since which time he has continued to
reside here. In the earlier days of
his residence here he was an active
business man, being dealer to con-
siderable extent in real estate, and at
one time filling the office of Register
of Deeds for this county, and later,
until his age and falling health CON-
PEELED him to retire from the more ac-
tive duties of life, he filed several of
the public offices in this municipality,
besides being for several years engag-
ed in the mercantile business. Few
men who live to his age rs years.

among their acquaintances than did
