Bardette's Advice 60 Young vO-
tors.

Burdette thus talks in the Burling-
ton Hawkeye:
My son, you will cast your first vote
for President next November. don't
want you to vote for certain man just
because certain other men do. l want
you TO sit down and think about 1t be-
fore you vote. want you to be able
to give a reason for your vote. / want
you to 90 to the polls in good company
AS youngman of progressive ideas
l want you to be abreast of the world
and shoulder to shoulder with the times
when you walk up to the polls. want
you on entering politics, to align with
the party that has the purest, most
progressive record. don't care a cent
my boy, whether you are Republican
or Democrat. There are honest men,
patriotic citizens, good citizens, good
christians in both parties. Only don't
want to see you walk up to the polls
and cast your first vote with the
party:
That upheld human slavery as a di-
vine institution
and babies like so many mules;
That fred on Fort Sumter and the
American flag;
4hou AOi hCoAiy hNO Odtb lOukub W
destroy the Union;
That opposed the issue of greenbacks
when the Government was fairly per-
ishing for want of them;
That organized mobs and riots to
oppose the draft;
That swept American commerce from
the seas with armed privateers
That is the party of Boss Tweed and
Jefferson Davis
That polls its heaviest majorities in
the most vicious and ignorant pre-
| cincts
That Is strongest in the States where
the percentage of ilireracy is the grea =
est
That has opposed every liberal aud
progressive measure in legislation dur
ing the last quarter of a century
That was the defender OF slavery /;
That is the defender of Murmon:sm |;
That slandered Garfield; and
That assassinated Lincoln.
Now, as have said before, my son,
don't care whether you are Republi-
can or Democrat. Choose for yourself.
just keep away from the crowd whose
record have briefly outlined. Find the
party to whom this record belongs, and
then forever keep away from it. You
need not be particular with which par
ty you unite, il you don't join that one.
Always vote against that party, and
you will always vote right. am Re-
publican, but will shake hands with
fraternal love with any Democrat who
votes against that record. That kind of a
Democrat is always good enough Re.
publican for me.
ST. never found that kind of q
| Democrat.

WAYS or TROUT.

The writer hrst saw shls aquarium on thundery afternoon at the beginning of the present month, says the Edlnbsrgh
 S1oksmas. Thunder or very suitry weather sends them to the bottom, and lying in row on the bottom, with their shouts touching the glass in front When made to move they soon returned to their former position, each apparently occupy ing the same blaze as before. Limited
 as is the space this " one-roomed
 house, each trout has its own lair, and this is especially marked in the case of the older individuals. Of the two-five- year olds one lies with his snou, ;n the
 angle formed bv the front and one of the sades of the tank, while the other occupies the opposite corner. Saould any other
 trout venture to occupy these lairs during the owners temporary absence, the latter
 will take the intruder in his mouth. and
 without fuss or fury deposit 1t quietly elsewhere. This the biggest rrou, has
 been seen to do three times in succession m less than that number of minutes.
 They are fed chiefly on raw beef cut into small pieces, and as this cutting operation IS being performed in front of the tank. they show by their excitemen, that they anticipate a coming meal. When the bits of meat are thrown on the surface of the water a wild commotion prevails; but with all the density of pis- cine population in the tank, it is remark ably how little jostiing occurs. They are ted occasionally on worms-a diet which they greatly appreciate. Like the OK, they at least know their owner, for they will rise to the surface and take a worm rom MT. Saunders hand when they would not come near that of a stranger
 By bringing piece of meat near their eye outside the glass they will follow It up to the top 10 receive it. They are most active during the night, and on .he approach of rain or high winds, and on such occasions they will sometimes throw themselves bodily cgs of the tank. This, when It occurs daring the night, is, of course, fatal, and such mortality as has occurred among these trout has been chiefly from this cause. During winter they scarcely feed at all, but lie at the bottom in semi-torpid state. In the severe winter of 1881 the water in the tank was in large part frozen, some fthe
 oSn6 oetuAuy Ae1cu in. AS soon aS this was noticed the tank was brought inside and the ice gradually melting the tsh were SCI free, without having ap- Parentiy sustained any injury. The secret of MT. Saunders success lies, doubtless, in his admirable arrangement for erating the water and in the regular removal of all foreign matters that are liable to de- cay, suen as uneaten or undigested DOT liens of food. Cleanliness and fresh air arc as much canons of health for fish a. thoy arc for men.

The American Girl Again.
lNew York World

It is rather unfortunate for us that there has never been but one American girl ip Europe If by any happy accident two had gone over the unanimity of English satire would have been destroyed. Mir. Edmund Yates has just met the same girl and has .ritten about her in the London Uoyld. As to the truth or fairness ef his estimate we care little. but the archaic character of it is remark able. The identical article was written half (a century ago by Mrs. Trollope and Captain Marryat. MT. Yates is fluent but he isn't fresh.
 If he were called upon to write an article on tho typical American of the other SIX. he would follow in the beaten path of PHsrA and the Saturday Reysszv. and describe hum as lank and lantern jawed fellow atsired in rawhide boot. and homespun trousers reaching within twelve inches of his feet. and in a coal made of the Ameyican flag. The occu- patton of this Amstican would be whit. ting and drinking kins- -julepx He would talk through his nose, style himself a goadarned catamount and swear lussily. by gosh.
 There is not an English hack writer in London who doesn't sincerely believe that this is the standard and authorized type.
 And the explanation is simple enough. The English writer fer the periodicais gets his knowledge of men and matters outside of London wholly from the British museum. When MT. Yates is desired to write an article on the American girl be goes to Bloomsbury square and cram. himself with the traditional English stuff.
 It is true that he visited this C ,rntry some years ago, and hlee all his con geners wrote book when he vent back. But it was never shown thA, he had seen anything while here exoep, our bills oi fare.
 Mir. Yates estimate of the American girl in Ye~-rup is therefore only the reg ular English article reproduced. It's conclusion is that it requires all the hnesse and 6ymness of the British aris- tocracy to keep the American lady from eating peanuts at the Queens reception and throwing the shells over the steps oi the throne. This is not humor. It is good, ssoiid English conviction handed down from remote generations, and nothing can disturb it, not even the fact that the British arisiocray shows a marked tendency to improve its sock aud Ns manners by marrying American girls.
