MISCELLANEOUS.
Natural Results.

Since the so-called Republican par
ty came into power a second I" IRE
pressible Conflict has been inaugu-
rated in the United States, and is now
eliminating into an inevitable antag-
onism between Labor and Capital +;
or to put it in an other form, between
Wealth and Dependence. The truth
of the allegation is so apparent that
few are bold enough to dispute it.
But why is it so? In the first place,
the needs and practices of the war
corrupted men into wild and fearless
speculation. All that was necessary
for an adventurer to do was to iden-
tify himself with the new Republican
party, then and ever since in posses
sion of the general government; and
contracts, jobs, subsidies, and every
form of easy accumulation was show
cred into the lap of Federal favorites
and every tortuous and crooked way
was opened for rascality and unright-
eousness in robbing the people
through the instrumentality of the
officers of the government. Hence,
F" Nobodies" became proud monied
arristocrats, as it were, by magic (;
and legislation was had to foster the
interest of gigantic monopolists; and
as the millionaires and their friends
increased, and grew into magnitude,
the rights of laboring men lessened (;
and finally faded out of view. Hence
no act Of Congress was enacted for
the welfare of labor or of the toiling
masses; but exemption acts were
passed rs further benefits to individ-
ual wealth, and especially to incorpo-
rate capital reveling in land
grantssand high tariffs-the former,
a mere gift of that which belonged to
the many, as a bonus to Tie few !;
and, the tariff is only sneaking de-
ception to collect money from the
many, in a way that they wont sus-
pect, to put into the pockets of the
few, who are wealthy, and manufac-
turcrs of goods which the people
must buy. But, that / may not di-
gress, come to the natural conse-
quences of what this Republicon par
tY has directly produced; and which
they cannot cure. Labor is restless
uneasy, and ill at ease. Working
men see government favorites, who
are sinecurcs in business, grow sud-
denly rich without labor, skill or cx-
ertion, while the laboring masses grow
poorer, and acquire less by their
daily toll, ,and rightly demand to know
why is it thus. For illustration: It
is but last week that $50 miners at
Washington, Pa, (I believe the
birthplace of James G. Blaine,) were
forced from sheer necessity to de-
mand higher wages; and what was
the result; they were arrested and
cast into prison, and their wives and
children excluded from their presence
who were found to be living on lit
corn meal. And this distressing
state of case will, and must ncccssar-
lily continue until the morking man
party comes into power, and it is not
hard to prove, that the Democratic
Party is the party of Justice.

cipient few days ago of circular
from Mr.. B. F. Jones, chairman of

soliciting a voluntary contribution

but firmly declines to contribute any
thing to the Republican campaign

me is: Can we'll perform my duties,
and in such manner as to do some
good to the people of the State? I
know there is room forit, and 1 know
that l am honest and sincere in my
desire to do we'll; but the question
is whether l know enough to accom-
plish what desire.
The social life which seems to
await mo has also been a subject of
much anxious thought. I have q
notion that I can regulate that very.
much as desire, and if can shall
spend very lite time in the purely
ornamental part of the office. In
point of fact will tell you, first of
alIothers, the policy intend to adopt.
and that is to make the whole a bus

of the State and myself, in which
the obligation on my side is to
perform the duties assigned me with
an eye single to the interest of my
employers. shall have no idea Of
reelection or of any higher political
.prcfcrment in my head, but be very
thankful and happy if can well serve

Do you know that If mother. were
alive should feel SO much safer? I
have always thought that her prayers
had much to do with my success. 1
shall expect you all to help me in that
way. Believe me your affectionate

Of course, I can't give any particular color to a girls eyes or cheeks, but I come near enough to please my customers, and you would be surprised to learn what different kinds of customers I have. Many is the time I've had two sisters looking out of the window watching for their mother and father while was busy tattooing the third sister. I get at least dozen jobs of that kind in a year, and sometimes more and from ladies, too, that live up town on the avenues. What they ask for most ire quently is to have some name tattooed where it can't be seen in ball costume, and the de- sign most in demand is a garter, with the name of gentleman, or his initials, worked in as clasp. Some of them want neck lace tattooed around their necks But all ways advise them against it, because they are sure to wish it were off some day, and, of course, once on it's got to stay there while the skin does.

FLOWERS AND THE LAWN.

Prepare for lifting plants. Repair the glass structures. For flowers the clematis excels Grow roses in bed by themselves. Sunhowers do not turn with the sun. Mipnonette for winter may still be sown. The man who sells ''blue" roses to city Esmarties'' at three dollars @ root is now taking his vacation.
 August planting of evergreens is recom- mended by some; we prefer the month of April.
 White is a rare color among hybrid perpet- ual roses, the variety Mabel Morrisin being perhaps the best.
 Whitening Verbenas.-The best way to keep them over is to propagate young plants for the purpose, and let the old ones go. To accomplish this the plants should be cut back and manured in August, and by October lst there will be plenty of good cuttings for striking.
 Caterpillars on Winter Plants. late in the summer chrysanthemums and oth CT plants are troubled thus. If the caterpiE lars are not destroyed they soon do great damage by despoiling the foliage. Hand nickine is the most simple and a sure reme- dy. Sprink1ing the plants with Paris green, either dry when the plants are wet or in so- lution, will destroy them.
 Material in which to Propagate Sand is the article generally used But being ready absorbent sometimes, and especially in wet, cloudy weather, it keeps so clogged with wa ter as to hurt roses and other cuttings. Then again in hot weather it dries out quickly, on which account it requires close watching.
