A Washington correspondent OF
the New York Times thus reasons out
the nomination of Edmunds and Lin
coin:
The prime favorite for vice-Presi-
dent is unquestionably Secretary LIN
coin, except among the men most de-
sirous of seeing Gen. Logan nominal
ed for President. If Logan is to be
nominated, the power of the name of
Lincoln must be lost to the party, for
the two candidates cannot come from
Illinois. The Logan men see this,
and, while they do not disparage
Lincoln, they admit that the senti-
ment, strong and natural one, exists
in his favor and that it may turn the
tide from Logan to some other strong
man from the east, and would, with
Lincoln, make a team that it would be
impossible to beat. Does this mean
Edmunds and Lincoln?

The Grand Isle Murder.

Some ice has been cut away in La
pan bay by those in search Of Krause,s
body, but nothing was dicoyered. If
the body is in the lake at all, there
doesn't seen to be much prospect OF
finding it until the ice goes out. The
suspected murderer Meyer exhibits a
great deal of cold blooded bravado.
Mr.. Suter called on him Thursday
night and told him of the discovery on
Smiths point, but it did not seem to
worry him any. He said the finding
of the blood didn't signify that any
body had been killed there, and he
would like to go down and see if that
wasn't the place where he had the
nose bleed. Apropos of the suppose
ton that the body is in the lake,
medical men say that so great an
amount of blood issuing from the body
would leave the arteries and lungs IN
such condition that the body would
float if put into the water.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. ARother important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
= should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilyerWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.
ST LOUIS Mo, Feb. II, 1883.

we cannot but acknowledge and our testimony that
the Keystone Solid Silver Watch Gases are tne pest

The Western Floods.

The clouds which have covered New
England for the past two weeks
brought very heavy rain fall to a
great territory in the middle Missis-
sippi valley, from the Alleghanies TO
the Rocky mountains, and the conse-
quences are told in the daily reports
of overlooking rivers all through the
section. The height of the food on
the upper Ohio seemed to have been
passed some days ago, but additional
rain brought the water up again, and
there is now pouring down toward
Cairo such a stream as has not been
seen before in this country. The
great property loss will of course be
at Cincinnati and other large cities
from Pittsburg to Louisville, but last
years experience shows that the worst
danger of human suffering. and per-
haps of human life, is in the Smaller
isolated towns in Indiana, Illinois
and Western Kentucky. The money
loss in this valley already reported
amounts to many millions of dollars
and there are great numbers of peo'
pie left destitute and dependent upor
charity, with the certainty of more to
come. As to the lower Mississippi
valley it can only be said that the pros
pect is threatening. A great flood il
the Ohio may be entirely dIssipateC
and lost before the flow reaches New
Orleans, as happened last year, or i
may be supplemented by the western
streams and bring widespread disas
ter. 1t is only certain now that thu
next few weeks must see very higl
water in the great river. 1t is be
tween eight and ten feet higher at St
ILouis and Cairo now than 1t was ;
year ago, and three feet higher a
Memphis, while to the southwark it i!
lower. The Arkansas rivers seem Il
be all overlooking, and of course the,
and the Ohio together may make mis-
chief in the Father of Waters. 1t de

deal of work has been done on tn
lower levees by the general and loca
governments during the past year

1882 is repeated and the whole sys

Tulley is entitled to the thanks of the
people for his eminently practical
measure. In fact, his sound good
Judgment on all questions, as we'll as
his eminent ability, has already given
him prominence in Congress, and won
for HIM high respect and esteem from
both sides of the House.
BY some hocus-pocus process known
to our friends of the Pacific coast,
perhaps learned from the heather
Chinee, California secured in the last
Congress, the imposition of duties on
two of her great productions, which
amount to the actual prohibition of
their importation. We refer to borax
and quicksilver; and to-day the soap
manufacturers and others who use
borax, and the artists, scientists and
manufacturers who use quicksilver,
are pounding at the doors of Congress
and asking that they be relieved of
the burden of these iniquities. This
legislation by Congress, which impos-
es burden upon 5O,00O,O00 people
to make few men rich, is beneath
the contempt of statesmen. 1.-The
greatest good for the greatest num-
ber,'' should be the motto of our law
makers.
The American hog is not having a
monopoly of Congressional attention.
Texas steers, Attorneys, Durhams,
Jerseys, long-horns, short-horns and
mulelys came in for considerable no.
t1ce when the bill for the extirpation
of the cattle disease known as pleuro-
pneumonia, favorably reported to the
House, came up for consideration
There is this difference, by the way:
| between the status of the hog ano
neat cattle: while the former is dis
cussed under the provisions of inter
national law, there is disposition on
the part of some to limit the latter by
the doctrine of States rights, it being
held by some Congressman that the
general government has nothing
whatever to do with the question Of
stamping out this growing cattle all
ment, but that its regulation belongs
exclusively to the States. 1t IS like
Iy. however, that valid measure viii
soon be passed by Congress, looking
to the eradication of this disease sc
harmful to the stock growing Interests
of the country.

The end of the obstruction talk IN

The authorities have thus learned tn
lesson of thoroughness from the mis-
cradle failures and blunders of tn
previous attempts to reach Greely,

lent one, and the Secretary of tn
navy vindicates himself from the as
pensions of the Senate by his choic
of officers for this expedition, an
there is good reason to believe tina
Greeley and his men will be reached

ger now is that undue haste will b

disasters might easily result, if, as
more than likely, the vessels Shout

Reputation with posterity has. ever
been esteemed one Of the most powerful
incentives to deeds of heroism; and one
modern school of philosophy recogni yes
as the only true Immortality of man, the
enduring beneficient influence of his vir-
tuous actions. If, however, the fabric of
orr civilization were seen to be tottering,
it is plain that this particular stimulus to
virtue would fail. ''Is our Civilization
Perishable?' The question is asked in the
North American ReUielo for March, by
Judge J. A. Jameson, who considers the
several agencies by which the overthrow
of the existing civilization might be effec-

not fail to awaken the people of this
