will so far toward electing him" To a too
great extent that is true. Blaine is sur
rounding himself with the worst elements
and the most reckless and greedy men the
cowuptions of the Republicans have given
opportunity to disply their capabilities for
the basest use of power. All the Star route
gang and other Republican scamps and
leeches, are Blaine men.

THE Louisville Post remarks that Mr.. Jay
Gould is for Blaine, but holds to the opinion
that ''Mr Gould will hardly contribute $780,
900 to the campaign fund to secure the ap-
pointment Of another judge to the Supreme
Bench" 1t won't be called by that name,
but Gould and his crowd can be depended on
TO furnish Blaine with all the money he
can't get any where else, to any amount. 1t
was understood in 1880 that if Blaine was
nominated Gould and his partners would
find him all the money he wanted. AS that
nomination turned out to be one without any
money behind, it a variety Of sharp, hard bar
gains had to be made, but by hook and by
crook. the money was raised, Indiana was
purchased and q variety of scandalous things
done, not all which are yet within the public
knowledge. Blaine's long practice in du-
plicitv will enable him to riot in corruption,
and when he is pretty near the wall, turn
about and charge the rascality to some one

professional business, but he will not be so
absorbed by his duties to his clients but that
he will have leisure to pay his respects to

THE Rev. J. H. Ecob, who has the bad taste
to speak OF himself as ''Mr. Blaine's pastor'
says of his layman: 'His mother was a Cath
Ole, but if as little child he took his mothers
hand and walked with her to church, why
there is a Protestant day OF judgment COM
ing which will, no doubt, purify as by fire
the touch of that mothers hand" This
touch of blasphemy from ''Mr Blaine's
pastor'' may be good campaign document,
though it is very doubtful. If Mr.. Blaine is
not ashamed of his ''pastor" he is the un-
worthy son of good mother. ''The Protes-
tant day of Judgment the Rev. Mr.. Ecob,
speaks of so fippantly, will not purify as by
fire the tattoo marks of Mr.. Blaine's public
lfe Any man who proclaims that he is
ashamed of his good, Christian mother, is
man to be distrusted and summed. There
can be no truth in him.

might have been a delegate at large to the

made. He was in the hands Of crowd of

something at the hands of people who want
to use him for Interior purposes of their own.

GOODNIGHT AND GOODBYE.

When the gold and red OF the setting sun
Grows pale and fades at the close Of day;
When the flooding splendor is,over and sne,
And night draws on and covers it's way,
We do not hope its return IN vain,
For we know the morrow will come again.
This Is goodnight.
When we part with a clasping hand at night
From the friend we love, we feel regret.
Aud the bright, warm heart takes with it the
light
And joy Of our own hearthstone; and yet
This regret is not hopeless pain,
For we know that the friend viii come again
This is goodnight.
When we leave the shore that has known our
birth,
When we turn our longing sight to I'll
Our hearts with mem'ries of sorrow and
mirth,
The throbs of expectation are still.
And night draws on, while we strain our
eyes
For long, last look in our paradise.
This is goodbye.
When a soul is called from the busy crowd,
To tread the paths of an untried way
In garments of light instead OF the shroud,
And we look our last on the form of clay,
We know we have said our last adieu,
And the broken VOWS we cannot renew.
This is goodbye.
When we stand at the gate at eve with him
Who has filed our life with joy or pain,
When we watch the waning light grow dim,
And know we shall never watch it again,
We say the words and hear the reply,
And we know the farewell is SPOKEN for ave,
This is goodnight and goodbye.

Nutritious Qualities Of Various Foods.

The Journal Of Health says: The world
little imagines how largely it is indebted
to the laborious researches of scientific
medical men for many of the most i'm
portant truths relative to human health,
happiness and life. AS population in
creases and the value of food is enhanced,
the knowledge which chemistry has
elected is becoming more and more val
liable in practical point of view.
Some kinds of food are more nutri-
tious than others, and if it should be
found that articles which are cheapest
have the most nutriment and give the
highest ability to labor, then knowledge
becomes money to the poor. Tables
vary, but some of the general results are
as follows:
One pound of rice prepared for the
table, gives eighty eight per cent. of nu-
triment, and, consequently, relative
proportional ability to labor, compared
with other articles of food. A pound of
beef, costing fifteen cents, gives only
twenty-five per cent. of nutriment Yet
countless numbers of the poor in New
York strain point daily to purchase
beef at fifteen cents pound, when they
could get pound of rice for one-third
of the amount, the rice too, having three
times as much nutriment as beef, making
practical difference of 500 per cent,
aside from the fact that boiled rice is
three times easier Of digestion than roast
beef, the rice being digested in about
one hour, roast beef requiring three
hours and half. There is meaning,
then, in the reputed fact that two-fifths
Of the human family live on rice.
We compile the following table for
preservation, as being practically and
permanently useful. All the economist
requires is to compare the price Of a
pound of food with the amount Of nutri-
ment it affords:

furnish, for scientific purposes, samples

Names Of European Nations.

These are derived principally from some
particular cause or object. For instance,
Ireland-which Julius Caesar first called
Hibernia-is kind of modification of
Erin, or the country of the West.
Scotland, from Scotia, tribe which
originally came from Ireland 1t was an
ciently called Caledonia. which means a
mountainous country-forests and lands.
Portugal, the ancient Lusitania, was
so named from a town on the river Douro,
called Gale, opposite to which the in
habitants built city called Porto, or
Oporto. And when the country was re-
covered from the Moors the inhabitants
combined the words, and called it the
kingdom of Portucale-hence Portugal
Spain, the ancient Iberia, from the
River Iberus, or Hispania, from tie
Phenician spaniga, which signifies
abounding with rabbits, which animals
are very numerous in that country-hence
Spain.
France, from the Franks, people of
Germany who conquered that country
Its ancient name was Celia, Gaul, or
Gallia-B -Bracchata, the latter signify1ng
striped breeches, which were worn by
the natives.
Switzerland, the ancient Helvetia, was
so named by the Austrians, who called
the inhabitants of these mountainous
countries Schweitzers.
Italy received its present name from a
renowned prince called Italus. 1t was
called Hesperia, from its western To-
cality.
Holland. the ancient Batavi, war
like people, were so named from the
German word hohl, the English Of which
is hollow, implying very low country.
The inhabitants are called Dutch, from
the German deutsch or teutsch.
Sweden and Norway were snciently
called Scandinavia, which the modern
antiquarians think means country the
woods OF which have been burnt or de-
stroyed. The appellation Sweden Is de-
rived from Sictuna, or sntheod. The
native term Norway, or the northern
way, explains itself.
Prussia, from Peuzzi, Sclavonic race
but some writers suppose it took its name
from Russio, and the sclavonic syllable
po. which means adjacent, or near.
Denmark means the marches, territor-
les, or boundaries of the Danes.
Russia is the ancient Sarmatia, which
has been subsequently named Muscovy.
1t derived its present name from Russi,
Sclavonic tribe, who founded the Rus
sian monarchy. The original savage in
habitants used to paint their bodies, in
order to appear more terrible in battle.
They generally lived in the mountains,
and their chariots were their only habita-
tions.
Turkey took its name from the Turks,
OF Turcomans, which signifies wander
ers, and originally belonged to the
Scythians or Tartars. 1t is sometimes
called the Ottoman empire, from Otto
man, one Of their principal leaders.

One EuQ IOr Ten People.

One ostrich egg for ten guests is the
pattern at the California ostrich farm
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten" said Dwight Whiting,
counting the guests he had invited to
spend the day at the ostrich farm with
him. Il guess one eggwin beenough,
and having given Inference to this OK
preston, he wended bis way to the pad
dock, and soon brought 70 the house ar
ostrich egg. The triumph Of the seasi
was the egg. For whole hour II was
boiled, and though there was then some
misEiving as to its being cooked, the
shen was broken, for curiosity could no
longer be restrained, and three-pound,
hard-boiled egg laid upon the plate.
But aside from its size, there was nothing
peculiar about it. The white had the
blush tinge seen in duck eggs, and the
yolk was of the usual color. It tasted as
it looked-like duck egg ind had nc
flavor peculiar to itself. But it was i'm.
mensel As it takes twenty-eight hen
eggs to equal in weight the ostrich egg
which was cooked. it is evident that the
host knew what he was about Id cooking
only one. There was enough and to
spare; and before leaving the table the
party unanimously agreed that ostrich
egg was good. Anahsim (ClI) Goaetta.

WORDS or WISDOM.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and
leave Others to talk of you as they
please.
Habit is hkened to a cable. We weave
threads Of it every day, and at last we
cannot break it.
One ought to forget at once what he
has given, and the other ought never to
forget what he has received.
A wise man ought to hope for the best,
be prepared for the worst, and bear with
equanimity whatever may happen.
The man who spends too much Of his
time in building castles in the air is not
likely to hold much real estate on the
earth.
To rejoice in another's prosperity is to
give content to your own lot; to mitigate
another's grief is to alleviate or dispel
your own.
A soul conversant with virtue resem-
bles fountain; for it is clear, and gen
tie, and sweet, and communicative, and
rich, and harmless, and innocent.
Conscience is a great ledger book, in
which all our offences are written and
registered, and which time reveals to the
sense and feeling Of the offender.
People are commonly so employed in
pointing out faults in those before them
as to forget that some behind may at the
same time be descanting on their own.
1t is mistake to imagine that the vio-
lent passions only, such as ambition and
love, can triumph over the rest. Idle
ness. languid as it is, often masters them
all.
Good breeding is the result of much
good sense, some good nature, and little
self-denial for the sake of others, and
with view to obtain the same indulg-
ence from them.
A man that hath no virtue in himself
ever envieth virtue in others; for mems
minds will either feed upon their own
good or upon others evil; and who
wanteth the one viii prey upon the
4 other.
