The Republicans have at last dis
covered that there is another way
of bringing back stray sheep be-
sides worrying it to death. For
months the Irregular" Republicans
have been bitterly abusing their
Mugwump brethern, and tn. latter
have shown no disposition to return
TO the fold. Another plan is now
being tried. Abuse having failed,
.csaxingis resorted to. The terms
will probably be the same as the
Republicans made with the people
of the south: "We freely forgive
you, and place you on the same
footing as before our unpleasant.
ness, but there is not one of you fit
to trust, and we propose to remind
you of it every possible opportunity.
Shake" By the way was it not a
common idea recently held by "reg.
ular" Republicans that these Mug
wunps were so few in number and
insignificant in influence as not to
be worth any serious consideration.

The Secretary of the Pittsburg
Coal Exchange is reported as say
ing that, in his opinion, is the use of
natural gas shall increase during
the next twelve months as rapidly,
as it has in the last twelve months,
most of the coal miners in Pennsylva-
MIA will be thrown out of employ
ment. 1t is said that the introduc-
tion of natural gas in Plttsburg aud
Allegheny City has decreased the
annual consumption ofcoal nearly
100000 bushels. The substitu-
ton of natural gas for coal as fuel
has caused q marked reduction in
the cost of manufacturing, and may
result. in a considerable reduction
in the price OF coal to consumers.

Ihere was Something Strange on Hii

Face.
A glorious maiden just budding
into beautiful womanhoed, stood
upon the lawn surrounding her
fathers mansion, and shone as
radiant as living ruby upon an
emerald throne.
Beside her was Harold De Courcy,
a bonny lad who loved her well,
but whose youth and fortune were
yet against him.
He was eighteen and getting six
dollars week.
He sighed as he gazed in rapt
emotion upon her lovely face and
figure and wished that he had twen-
ty-five dollars and was a million
years old.
You see he was distracted with
love or he would have wished he
had million dollars and was twen-
ty-fve years old.
1t is ever thus.
She fonGly met his fervid gaze
and eyes looked love to eyes that
spake again.
She drew nearer to him, and
placed her soft hands upon his
manly shoulders, she turned her
lovely hazel eyes searchingly upon
his face and finally they rested with
almost painful concentration upon
his lips.
Twas but an instant, then a
seraphic smile played angel music
on her countenance and she murmur-
ed sweetly, yet in startled tones:
"Oh, Harold"
"What is it, darling9 Tell your
dear Harold what there is strange
to you in his face}'
"Why Harold your-your-" -.
"Go on, angel mine. Have nc
fear that your Harold will chide."
"Why Harold, your "ustachs is
getting real hairy, amt it,"
That was all.
Wasn't 1t sufficient

The average Republican political
orator or organ used to think that
a telling point had been made
against the democracy when the
finger of scorn was pointed at the
Irish vote" But behold the
change. In the last general cleo
tion the "despised Irish vose" nat.
urally gravitated towards Blaine,
and now the Republicans Of Iowa
are reduced to such pass that they
are down on their marrow bones

From the close of the war until
March 4th, 1855 the affairs of the
nation had been administered by
the Republican party. Since the
Democratic party came into power
the Republican "Southern outrage
mill" has been idle. Nothing new
has lately been developed to show
that the South is disloyal or that
nffaits in that part of the Union
are worse than they were under
Republican ruls; and yet somehow,
1t just seems to have dawned upon
Mr.. Blaine and his followers that
the South is in a bad way indeed.
IL the charges made are founded
upon facts it is a most scathinr
comment upon the Republican rule
of the last decade OF two. Nothing
could more clearly prove the neces-
sity that existed for change of ad.
ministration. And now that the
change has been made and the
Blaine organs have clamorously
proclaimed the inability of the Re-
publican parry to secure go,d gov
ernment in the South, if they were
sincerely the friends of the South
they would give the present admin
istration an opportunity to accom-
Plish what twenty years of Repub-
lican rule according to their own
statements failed to do. But they
are not now and never were the
friends of the South, and they are no.
now and never were sincere in their
n:tsrances regarding it. Thew can

cess. The only possible way for
the South to receive from them re-
spectacle treatment is for the South
u vote the Republican ticket.

The Crops aud RusIness.

Inc efOpB anu BUSINESS
The country reco ,sred from the
panic Of 1872 and '73 hecause Of the
large crops of 1877 and 1873. The
enormous amounts Of grain and pork
exported from this country to
Europe turned the balance of trade
in our favor and enabled the gov
ernment to accumulate goldin the
national treasury 30 that 1t was
possible to resume specie payments.
As agriculture is the foundation of
national prosperity, better times
havs almost invariably followed
good crops. With ths single excep-
tion of wheat the crops of the United,
States from the year 1885 promise
to be exceedingly abundant. The
wheat crop of the world is under
the average; but, on the other hand
those countries which supply them
selves from the United States are
not likely to make great demands
upon us. Great Britain will have a
better crop than usual for some
years past. France will not draw
heavily upon US. Australia has
already shipped 100000 tons for
ths current year. Our surplus, as
it now appears, will be wanted at
Legitimate, but no. at speculative
prices.
The corn crop is, according to
present appearances, going to be
very large. This crop is exported
to a considerable extent, but il of
the greatest consequence as food for
men at home, for food for animals,
as in fact, in the last resort, the
stay and security of the farmer in
making profitable his operations as
producer ct milk, Of pork, and the
support generally of his working
animals. The cotton cvop is to be
luxuriant, and the south makes an
exceptionally good general showing.
1t is of much Importance to know
that the crops in the south have
been made at low er cost than ever
before; and what is more, that the
liens on crops. for money advanced
to farmers, are much less than any
previous year since the war. In
South Carolina alone, where the
crops of 'S3 and '64 vera poor, and
where the farmers would therefore
be in comparatively poor c,rcum.
stances, this years yield of corn will
exceed that of last by 1000, 900
bushels. and this years cotton crop
will be 100000 bales greater than
the last; while the amount of liens
given by the farmers on their grow.
ing crops is three million dollars
less than in 1882, the year of plenty,
which preceded the two unfavorable
seasons of 'S3 and 's4. This shows
beyond doubt that the southern,
farmer is relieving himself from the
/ iA8bSl1t LlClE lIlS CUGu
try store keeper has held over him;
and that, with this years large crop,
he will have more ready money on
and less usury to pay than in former
years. 1t means real and substan-
tial prosperity and commercial ac-
tivity for the south, and helping
influence in the trade revival which
is awaited with so much solicitude
in the north west.
There are already indications that
the material wealth so soon to be
realized from these products has
been, to use the commercial phrase,
discounted to greater or less degree
by the merchants who are nearest
to the agricultural consumers, In
certain classes of business in the
great cities there is not only bet
ter feeling, but more business is &C.

There was sort Of languor steal.

spring fever, while the patrons Of

"Oh, that there were no such

dull and aimless is woman's life!

often holds such conversations with
herself, and woe to the fellow who
gives her an opportunity to get in
her work after one of these spells.

soon had the run If a dozen con-
